Man-Erg Lyrics[Verse 1]
The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move
Sometimes he's lightly sleeping
In the quiet of his room

[Chorus 1]
But then his eyes will rise and stare through mine;
He'll speak my words and slice my mind inside
Yes, the killer lives

[Verse 2]
Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile...
Their presence strokes
And soothes the tempest in my mind
[Chorus 2]
And their love can heal the wounds that I have wrought
They watch me as I go to fall
- Well, I know I shall be caught while the angels live

[Instrumental]

[Break]

[Verse 3]
How can I be free?
How can I get help?
Am I really me?
Am I someone else?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom
And Death's Head throws his cloak into the corner of my room
And I am doomed...

[Verse 5]
But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my youth
And solemn, waiting Old Man in the gables of the roof:
He tells me truth...
[Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
And I too, live inside me
Andd very often don't know who I am
I know I'm not a hero
But I hope that I'm not damned:

[Chorus 4]
I'm just a man, and killers, angels
All are me:
Dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace
As long as Man lives...

[Outro Chorus 4]
I'm just a man, and killers, angels
All are me:
Dictators, saviours, refugees...
