Inside lyrics

[Music: D.Gildenlow/D.Magdic/K.Gildenlow/F.Hermansson]



`What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and

humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered,

and conducted wars, war criminals? War criminals are not confined to the

Axis Powers alone.`



I was told the pain and hunger was not my fault

How could they be so wrong?

And man, of all five billion people you`re only one

Believed them for far too long!

Clean hands

My land is my home



I`m inside the big machine and it`s eating me!

And I am just a wheel in motion, too blind to see

The way we are heading now



I`m hollow

I swallow, but....



Inside I`m strong

Inside I`m free

Inside I`m young

Inside I`m still me



[Since 1990 there have been 93 wars in 70 states all around the world, with 5.5 million people dead. 75% of these people were civilians, 1 million of them were children...]</i>



(Guns don`t kill - I don`t kill. Do I?)



Drink with me, laugh with me, friends for tonight

Stay with me, sleep with me, happy tonight

I only feel lonely outside this bar

Look at me when I speak! Who do you think you are?



Just look at me now! Inside I`m lost...



Now I`m vain, numb this pain - why is it burning?

Clean as rain, not a stain - so why am I yearning?



I can`t sleep - I twist and turn

In too deep - I sweat, I burn

I`m afraid that I`ll awake, dressed up in a big mistake

Then I`d break!



What if I just closed my eyes?

(I`m not clean...)

What if I shut out the lies?

(...blood unseen...)

And what if I could hear my heart...

(...all over my hands!)

...accusing me for taking part

of the Machine
