Van Der Graaf Generator - Man-Erg Lyrics
The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move.Sometimes he's lightly sleepingin the quiet of his room,but then his eyes will rise and stare through mine;he'll speak my words and slice my mind inside.Yes the killer lives.Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile...Their presence strokesand soothes the tempest in my mindand their love can heal the woundsthat I have wrought.They watch me as I go to fall- well, I know I shall be caught,while the angels live.How can I be free?How can I get help?Am I really me?Am I someone else?But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytesof gloomand Death's Head throws his cloak intothe corner of my roomand I am doomed...But laughing in my courtyard play the prankstersof my youthand solemn, waiting Old Manin the gables of the roof:he tells me truth...And I too, live inside me and very oftendon't know who I am:I know I'm not a hero, butI hope that I'll not die.I'm just a man, and killers, angels,are all me:Dictator, saviour, refugee in war and peaceas long as Man lives...I'm just a man, and killers, angels,are all me:Dictator, saviour, refugee
