When the Sinner Lyrics

[Words and Music by Michael Kiske]

Now it's time to shake it all up to be free
Now it's time to make us some room to let us be
Oh, it feels so bad
Yes, it feels so bad
When everything good looks so bad
When everything right goes so wrong

I am up, to break it all down what's in my way
I won't stop until I am where I'm going to stay
No one holds me back
No, no one holds me back
Don't wanna be what I'm not
But it's gotta be myself who breaks my neck

I look here and you look there, I know it's got to be somewhere
We look around and search around and walk around and hear around
We keep on looking 'til we know what for

If you don't know it, I don't know it, we don't know it, who will know it?
All of us don't know what we should know — maybe one day we'll know
But anyway we've got to make a stop

Over my head - look over my head you won't see no halo
It's driving me mad - I must hold it back inside

When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us
When we finally search inside, it's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it who must pay?
All I've ever done I've done for you!

In my mind - the battle goes on 'til I give up
Will we find the key of life we once have dropped?
Do you really care?
Tell me you really care!
You may find Mr. Blame
But the guilt of life burns everywhere

Give me light to see my inside, give me light to see my sin
I'd never do what I regret, I've never done anything bad
You must be joking when you point at me!

Hey! Don't you blame me! Don't you touch me!
Won't you ever leave me be?
I wanna live! Don't wanna think! Why should I give what I can drink?
Man! Life is short so I take what I need!

Over your head - look over my head you won't see no halo
It's driving me mad - I must hold it back inside

When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us
When we finally search inside, it's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it who must pay?
All I've ever done I've done for you!

Pain!
I feel inside it's such a
Shame!
No one fights fair, but who's to
Blame!
Might be the game of life but it ain't over
Now!
I walk my way firm any
How!
My conscience speaks and there are
Doubts!
But nothing's sure in life and it ain't over
Now!

I look here and you look there, I know it's got to be somewhere
We look around and search around and walk around and hear around
We keep on looking 'til we know what for

Over my head — look over my head you won't see no halo
It's driving me mad — I must hold it back inside

When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us
When we finally search inside, it's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it who must pay?
All I've ever done I've done for you!
