Love and Pride Lyrics

The life I´ve got this time is mine
No claws or feathers on my wings
I´ve changed my skin one last time
Love and pride were the springs

Walking in the shadows
I can feel the night
It´s got no more dangers for me
´Cause the danger was me

This flesh has started burdening me
A body to carry my spirit around
My spirit does no longer sing
´Cause the song used to be me

Will you let me, won´t you let me
Be the voice that speaks in you
Put a drop of black, add a hint of white
The picture´s now complete
Will you let me, won´t you let me
Be the voice that whispers in you
Paint your heart black, stain your soul white

I look in the mirror, what I see is myself
An ark of flesh to acknowledge my name
Nevermore torn between above and below
After a fight between love and pride

All the time my spirit is singing
While I whisper in the darkness
Light as air, eternal delight
All is finally in me as one

I´ll face the challenge to live every day
I will dream of myself everyday
So that all of my dreams
Can be made of flesh and blood

Will you let me, won´t you let me
Be the voice that speaks in you
Put a drop of black, add a hint of white
The picture´s now complete
Will you let me, won´t you let me
Be the voice that whispers in you
Paint your heart black, stain your soul white

I look in the mirror, what I see is myself
An ark of flesh to acknowledge my name
Nevermore torn between above and below
After a fight between love and pride

The sun is my father
The moon is my mother
I will get inside their brown of darkness
And find out the secret rhythm
Crying like an animal
Dancing ´till dawn
And forgetting my mortal name
The sun is my father
The moon is my mother
When I am their son again
I will did you all farewell
