So why can I not smile now
Unveil my eyes for beautiful dawning light
Undress myself all armour and shields
Laying down my weapons to never need them again

Then free to throw down that mask
That mask of disgust

Thus it goes on and on and on
This useless reasoning of a meaning
So it´s all gone it´s gone, forever gone
Who has the answer to "why"
This riddle of life and death

But God is not on my side anymore
All I ever earned is enemies in life

Then free to throw down that mask
That mask of disgust

Thus it goes on and on and on
This useless reasoning of a meaning
So it´s all gone it´s gone, forever gone
Who has the answer to "why"
This riddle of life and death

And then the voice is muted
Nothing and none - all in the end

When the question is answered
There is nothing but silence
And the voice is mute

Then free to throw down that mask
That mask of disgust

Thus it goes on and on and on
This useless reasoning of a meaning
So it´s all gone it´s gone, forever gone
Who has the answer to "why"
This riddle of life and death
Goes on and on and on
Who has the answer to "why"
This riddle of life and death
