Beyond the Realms of Death (Live)

He'd had enough

He couldn't take any more

He found a place in his mind and slammed the door

No matter how they tried

They couldn't understand

They washed and dressed him, fed him by hand

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I am safe here in my mind

I'm free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life, I'll decide not you

Withdrawn he'd sit there

Staring in to space

No sign of life would flicker on his face

Until one day he smiled

It seemed as though with pride

The wind kissed him goodbye—and then he died

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I am safe here in my mind

I'm free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life, I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin

It's not fit for living in

Yeah! I will start again

It can take forever and ever and ever and ever

But I still win

How many like him are there still

Who to us, all seem to have lost the will

They lie in thousands, blank and lost

Is knowledge worth this bitter cost?

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I am safe here in my mind

I'm free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life, I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin

It's not fit for living in

Beyond the realms of death
