Lyrics

I woke up in a strange, cold ambience
Full of faces and an enerving sound
I was caught in a waken nightmare
With my heart tight to the ground
A voice was guiding me through tortured nights
And didn't let me see the lights
From the morning street lamps
That used to comfort my eyes
I tried to escape as fast as I could
From my bed that was an enemy camp
I was so decided that I would get a glance
From the morning street lamps
With tears in my eyes I ran out
To the kitchen where I heard a shout:
You make everything wrong!

But then, then when I lay down on the floor
A memory, a gentle touch long ago
Filled me with a strange, pure kind of energy
And suddenly I became firm: I have to live
I know I've felt love and I know that I can give something
And then suddenly I realised that the voice from above
Was just coming from dark night soul
Was just coming from dark night soul, dark soul

(Shubidua, shubidua)
Frightened to death I shivered by fear, oh yeah
When the voice told me I was a mistake
And that God wanted to start all over with me again
Halleluja, Jesus lives!

Lost in the dark I fell down on the floor
The voice was right that I was meaningless
A pain in my heart turned my tears into blood

Lost in the dark I fell down on the floor
The voice was right that I was meaningless
