Maybe this time

Maybe this time I’ll outwit my past

I’ll throw away the numbers, the keys

And all the cards

Maybe I can carve out a living in the cold

At the outskirts of some city

I extinguish all my recent pasts

Become another man again

And have a quiet life

A quiet life for me

A quiet life

A quiet life for me

A quiet life for someone

An acquired life for me

I lost, I ran

I started once anew

In northern grey, in drizzling rain

In salted slush and bitter hale

But the order as always merciless

It wants to see me fail

So the hunter is now the hunted

Past voices call my name

I renounce my past to live again

A quiet life

A quiet life

A quiet life for me

A quiet life for someone

An acquired life for me

I thought I have been given

Another chance again

But heaven lies as usual

I repented but in vain

It tries to cheat me out of my good aim

Take away what I never really got

My quiet life

No quiet life for me

No quiet life

No quiet life

No quiet life for me

A quiet life for someone

No quiet life for me
