You wake up in the suffocating Arabic darkness Dragging the river of your very soul You emerge from troubled dreams with your head held very gently Thick like clotted blood in a golden bowl Who promised you that? Who's paying for it? What's waiting out there? The soldiers in the village were sleeping in the sun The White Star Line comes steaming in upon its midnight run You're standing in the mirror, that reflection is insane My love is the peace which takes away the pain You know that you must fly out, out of this life of nightmares Whose spirit breath surrounds you in the blackened night The horses are uneasy, the weapon is untried You'll have to go on guessing 'til you reach the other side Who promised you that? Who's paying for it? What's waiting out there? The monkeys in the jungle are playing with a gun The White Star Line comes steaming in upon its midnight run You're reaching for the light, boy, which the night has neatly slain SongtexteMy love is the peace which takes away the pain Up you go, you're drifting, up you go, you're floating Over Tunisia, over Spain Over Germany, over Poland Over Scandinavia and back again Who promised you that? Who's paying for it? What's waiting out there? The notices and frescoes have faded in the sun The White Star Line comes steaming in upon its midnight run You can't believe it's over with no loss or gain My love is the peace which takes away the pain Aus Songtexte Mania
