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
