peter hammill - man-erg lyrics

the killer lives inside me; yes, i can feel him move.
sometimes he’s lightly sleeping in the quiet of his room;
but then his eyes will rise and stare through mine,
he’ll speak my words and slice my mind inside.
yes, the killer lives.
the angels live inside me, i can feel them smile;
their presence strokes and soothes the tempest in my mind
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.
how can i be free?
how can i get help?
am i really me?
am i someone else?
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.
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.
and i, too, live inside me and very often don’t know who i am;
i know i’m not a hero;well, i hope that i’m not d-mned.
i’m just a man, and killers, angels, all are these,
dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace
as long as man lives…
i’m just a man, and killers, angels, all are these:
dictators, saviours, refugees
