A VERY STRANGE STORY I ONCE HEARD
ABOUT A MAN, AN IMMORTAL BEING
HE’S NOT LIVING IN OUR WORLD
NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO MEET HIM
THIS HAPPENED NOT SO LONG AGO
IN SOMEONE‘S TROUBLED MIND HE WAS BORN
DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE BELONGS
SO HE STARTED LIVING IN A PHYSICAL FORM
DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE COMES FROM
DOESN’T KNOW IF HE’S NOT LOST
DOESN’T KNOW WHY HE WAS BORN
DOESN’T KNOW WHICH WAY HE CHOSE
DOESN’T KNOW IF HE CAN SAY NO
DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT YOUR WOES
WHERE WILL HIS FIRST STEPS GO?
MAYBE IT’S BETTER NOT TO KNOW
ONE DAY YOU WERE WOKEN UP
YOUR SLEEP INTERRUPTED BY THE DREAM
IN WHICH HE WAS…
YOU’RE LAYING IN YOUR BED, DRENCHED IN SWEAT
IN FEAR YOU TURN ON THE LIGHT
MORE PRESSURE ON YOUR FOREHEAD THE CLOSER HE GETS
STAYING IN YOUR SIGHT
A TALL FIGURE APPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE
A PERFECT FITTING SUIT AND A FINE BRIEFCASE
WHERE PEOPLE HAVE A FACE, HE HAS ONLY EMPTINESS
FED ON PRECIOUS HUMAN THOUGHTS
NO MATTER HOW HE GETS THEM
MOST OF THE TIME THEY WERE NOT BOUGHT
THEY WERE STOLEN WITHOUT REGRETS
HE MAKES YOU AN OFFER AND YOU DON’T ACCEPT
YOU DON’T WANT TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE CAME TO GET
BUT HE DOESN’T WANT TO BE DENIED
SO HE ENTERS YOUR HEAD
HE’S A REAPER OF THOUGHTS THAT FOUND A WAY INTO YOUR LIFE
HE CUTS YOUR MIND IN HALF, TRIES TO SELL IT WITH A DISCOUNT
HE’S NOT SATISFIED WITH THE STUFF HE‘S JUST FOUND
BUT EVEN FOR THE LOW PRICE NOBODY WANTS TO BUY
AND YOU TRIED TO FORGET
YOU TRIED SO HARD TO FORGET
BUT ALL YOUR MEMORIES NOW HE CAN HAVE
MOST PRECIOUS THOUGHTS STARTED TO SPREAD
HE FORCED YOU TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED
YOU COULD NOT RESIST IT
ALL STRANGE THINGS HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE
THAT YOU WANTED TO KEEP HIDDEN IN YOUR HEAD
HE STOLE ALL YOUR SECRET THOUGHTS
LEFT YOU WITH AN EMPTY HEAD
TOOK AWAY THE ESSENCE OF YOURS
LEFT YOU LAYING ALMOST DEAD
HE’S A REAPER OF THOUGHTS THAT FOUND A WAY INTO YOUR LIFE
HE CUTS YOUR MIND IN HALF, TRIES TO SELL IT WITH A DISCOUNT
HE’S NOT SATISFIED WITH THE STUFF HE‘S JUST FOUND
BUT EVEN FOR THE LOW PRICE NOBODY WANTS TO BUY
NOW YOU’RE LIVING WITH A SCAR ON THE BRAIN
LOST LIKE TEARS IN THE RAIN
AND YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AS BEFORE
NEVER BE THE SAME
