Beyond the realms of death
He had enoughHe couldn't take anymoreHe'd found a placeIn his mind and slammed the doorNo matter how they triedThey couldn't understandThey washed and dressed himFed him by hand
Yeah! I've left the world behindI'm safe here in my mindFree to speak with my own kindThis is my life, this is my lifeI'll decide not you
Withdrawn he'd sit thereStare blank into spaceNo sign of lifeWould flicker on his faceUntil one day he smiledIt seemed as though with prideThe wind kissed himGoodbye - and then he died
Yeah! I've left the world behindI'm safe here in my mindFree to speak with my own kindThis is my life, this is my lifeI'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sinIt's not fit for livin' inYeah! I will start againIt can take forever, and ever, and everAnd ever, but I'll still win
How many like himAre there stillBut to us, allSeem to have lost the willThey lie in thousandsPlagued and lostIs nothing worth this bitter cost
Yeah! I've left the world behindI'm safe here in my mindFree to speak with my own kindThis is my life, this is my lifeI'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sinIt's not fit for livin' in
