We have built a house of cards
So instable from the start
Can you tell me right from wrong
Can you sing the same old song?
Watch the newsflash,
Watch them fall
Fading beauty, once so tall
Feel so naked and alone
The cocoon crashed
From one day to another
It crashed
The cocoon crashed
Is religion reason enough
How much hatred conquers love
Sudden silence much too loud
The cocoon crashed
From one day to another
It crashed
We know safety is a good
There's a thing misunderstood
There's no safe ground anywhere
That's a burden hard to bear
Power lies in the smallest things
When the bell of freedom rings
We return to what we know
The cocoon crashed
From one day to another
It crashed
The cocoon crashed
(...i will not lie down
Not lie to the ground
I will not retreat
Not in deepest heat...)
