A Quiet Life

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 a new In northern grey, in drizzling rain In salted slush and bitter hail 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 Even if I have to straighten There is a life for me A qiuet life A quiet life for me (A quiet life...)
