Those defiant ways Those defiant ways Yes, I followed them just to be back again Those defiant ways Realised too late How they tempted my will They enchanted my youth Like a bored know-all child so naïve to believe That all my fucking dreams will come true That's what I see no way to be the man that I ever wanted to be Rebel by heart to break the chains, To break the chains, to break the chains that keep me here I'd like to breathe the air of a vivid endless city just to begin Rebel by heart to break the chains, To break the chains, to break the chains that keep me here Refugee in the ocean of modern age Endless city embrace me Motivation runs through me... Endless city embrace me Motivation runs endless... Ambitious, delicious, adventurous, contentious, Exciting, inviting, I'm writing, I'm fighting for my dreams... Oh, what a challenge to write I work at day and by night Can't find a minute to think God knows I'm on the blink Never there's silence around Is this my dream that I found? Got the time to breathe independently Pressure lies beneath my own liberty So I can't believe: only empty sheets Feel how time deceives, sacred dignity! Dignity, liberty, sanity, mendacity Dignity, liberty, sanity, mendacity Dignity, sanity Time... Against all I could not keep pace Where is my way A shrine deserted without trace How should I breathe, How should I flee from claws that try to suppress me? There was no sign along my way No guide, no help and so I pray No help and so I pray All tears, all cries Forgotten... All lies To leave... It's no defeat Just a detour Makes you see Embraced city, I have to go It's not your fault Now I know Those defiant ways Those defiant ways Yes, I followed them just to be back again Those defiant ways Those defiant ways Yes, I followed them I followed them Yes, I followed them
