Lyrics: Blind Guardian. Born In A Mourning Hall.

In fact it was close to a real fallout
Everything's under control
The speaker said with a serious smile
Behind his mask, he knew the truth

"I'll bring a new age of better ways"
The TV preacher said
Just pay today
Pay today

World's dressed in black
On earth's judgment day and I [unverified]
I know it can't go on, forbidden signs increase
I'm sitting still at home and watching

Born in a mourning hall
Pale clouds feared the unborn child
Then it grew up with growing plans of suicide

Born in a mourning hall
Shadows left the fear inside
That Peter Pan will never reach the other side

It's frightening
Exciting to sit at home
And watch the burning fields
Get hypnotized by the TV snake

Obey and work hard and feel no anger
Just sympathy for the higher class
There's no chance in changing things
'Cause I am

Born in a mourning hall
Silent cries ran out when the cradle breaks
Broken dreams were unheard on the other side

Born in a mourning hall
Shadows left the fear in the new born child
That Peter Pan will never reach the other side

And I'm a part of the machine
A puppet on the strings
A rebel, once, now I'm an old man

Oh, I know this can't go on
But the ghost called fear inside
Lames my tongue, my nerves, my mind
Eternal fall down

Someone cut the strings off
I can't move to get back courage
I've to face the truth but not today
Goodbye

Born in a mourning hall
Caught inside a web called life
The only way to get out soon is suicide

Born in a mourning hall
Pale souls built a frozen world
Infected brains will never reach the other side
The other side
