Being Born

Fading stars,

Burning storm,

Hopeless dreams,

Children unborn,

Ruthless wars:

That's the cruel reality.

Female screams,

Chaos and brutality.

I'm living in a world

Where I don't want to be;

I pay for being born.

I close my eyes and I see

In my dreams, I am free:

I can fly; I can love*

In my dreams,

It always seems

I'm living in

Perfect scenes.

I don't wake up;

So warm it feels,

Lying to myself

In endless dreams.

I'm living in a world

Where I don't want to be;

I pay for being born.

I close my eyes and I see

In my dreams, I am free:

I can fly; I can love*

*These lyrics are taken verbatim from the liner notes. However, in the song itself, there is a second part to the chorus which is as follows:

I'm living in a world

Where I'm not meant to be;

Why the hell was I born?

I close my eyes and I see

In my dreams, I am free:

I can fly; I can love.
