Not you

[verse 1]
That day was steadily rolling to its fall
As a freight train that hurtled full speed straight to hell
I heard each turn of clockwork echoing
In a cartridge click sliding into a magazine...

Who's that pacing out there in the hall in the dead of night
Bringing chilling terror like a restless ghost?
With your arch of brows and the line of beautiful lips...
The stranger looks so much like you...

[chorus]
Not you, but someone else
Who didn't know my name until this evening
Breaks loose like a wild beast caught in a trap
Making me cry over you

From every word floating out of my mouth
To every one that reached your ear - it's all in vain
It's all the past that has been erased from your mind

[Post-chorus]
Leaving me to decay in this emptiness...

[verse 2]
I pumped bullets into this black chasm overhead
In a blind fire, wishing to rip it to shreds,
To slit the belly of this darkness, to make it bleed!
I needed just a single wound leaking a ray of light
That could bring you back home...
I have no one left to plead

[final chorus]
In the deep velvet sky, the countless holes
Sparkled with pieces of the past that never was in your life
Mesmerized, it wasn't you looking at them, but someone else
Who didn't know my name until this evening...

[outro]
Not you...
Not you...
It isn't you...
No more...
