Turn the spotlights on the people
Switch the dial and eat the worm
Take your chances, kill the engine
Drop your bombs and let it burn

White flags shot to ribbons,
The truce in Black and Burned.
Shellshock in the kitchen.
Tables overturned

Back in the village again
In the village,
I’m back in the village again.

Throwing dice now, rolling loaded
I see sixes all the way,
In a black hole and I’m spinning
As my wings get shot away.

Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn.

Back in the village again
In the village,
I’m back in the village again.

No breaks on the inside,
Paper cats and burning barns,
There’s fox among the chickens,
And a killer in the hounds.

Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn.

Back in the village again
In the village,
I’m back in the village again.

But still we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We’re burning brighter than before
I don’t have a number, I’M A NAME!

Back in the village again
In the village
I’m back in the village again
Back in the village again
In the village

I’m back in the village
Back in the village
Back in the village again.
