Aftermoon - Eighth Day Lyrics

From a young age I knew my way
And I followed it despite a thousands mistakes
Only God knows how I tried to overcome
All these doubts and hesitations, ups and downs
And it built me
It ruined my illusions, left me in confusion
Made me weak, made me sick
Unprotected. A freak that lives inside smashed up
These rose-colored glasses
Left them in the past

First day was for joy
Second day brought me sorrow
Third day to forgive
To destroy - day four
Fifth day stood for war
Sixth day marked my glory
On Seventh day I think twice and
Eighth day all will be mine

What is next now?
The blinders - take off, so let's take a look around
Does it hurt? Does it burn like you're staring at the sun?
Hold on, keep calm and listen to the well-respected men
They know better what you have to become
Oh, you have a point? Don't be shy, tell us, we are ready to ignore
They raise you up, then knock you down, laugh in your face
Show the smallest crack
They take you down a peg
And I just wanna be myself

First day was for joy
Second day brought me sorrow
Third day to forgive
To destroy - day four
Fifth day stood for war
Sixth day marked my glory
On Seventh day I think twice and
Eighth day all will be mine

They can call us what they want
But we don`t care
Whispering behind the back
Incites to go ahead
No step backwards
And no regrets
The army-of-five makes it to the end

First day was for joy
Second day brought me sorrow
Third day to forgive
To destroy - day four
Fifth day stood for war
Sixth day marked my glory
On Seventh day I think twice and
Eighth day all will be mine
