Lyrics

She was walking right behind me I could hear her step
I turned arround one thousand times but I only felt my neck

I knew that I was caught in a kind of supernatural
I told her to give anything but she's incorruptible

Then someone grabbed my hand and whispered
We have thrown a dice
And now it”s up to you to let us show you something nice

Uh la la la – follow me

And I reach out for that open door
And I know I'll die like the one before
And I try so hard to get out of here
But every way leads me back to fear

And while cold hands are tear at me I stumble and I fall
I hear laughter and I wonder where's the saviour that I called

They kick me and they beat me and my mind began to spin
And I realized that I stood in the door I just came in

Won't somebody help me I can't make it on my own
And for all that I'am feeling like I'm sittin' on a thrown

And I reach out for that open door
And I know I'll die like the one before
And I try so hard to get out of here
But every way leads me back to fear

It is like your sweetest dream
It's a game you just can't win
And you'll stay even though you try to run
Feels like an endless room
Where you cannot fail to fly
Where you know you're shadowed by the other side

And I reach out for that open door
And I know I'll die like the one before
And I try so hard to get out of here
But every way leads me back to fear
