Songtext von Deviation

And the place was burning Where once my cradle stood Memories still yearning For what my childhood took In peaceful shelter I may rest Just instincts of salvation O`deviate from the within But hate I may not feel A nations decay within my eyes Imploring still in vague seclusion A tear from a child's eye- obeying still But fate just ties together What's my flesh? And what my skin? What my privilege? And what a sin? Have I come to stay What I can never be? Have I come to beg For a new identity? To blame O` I have tried to fly But I did not have wings I have tried to speak But I did not know how Like a new-born child I have tried to trust Reaching out But my cradle burning A nations decay within my eyes Imploring still in vague seclusion A tear from a child's eye- obeying still But fate just ties together Just memories today Yes, I exist, but do I also live? I must deviate from the within But hate I may not feel
