Dobermann Lyrics - Dark Tranquility

where were the eyes that followed 

how could they've found? 

these misery's merchants 

struck the message deep 

"we have come to stay" 

dogs fled there in the dark of his path 

feared him as once they all did 

like a ghost in daylight 

on an overcrowded street 

he wishes 

to be something he is not 

lie a shadow at midnight 

that originate in air 

he wishes to release 

deep in the back it had caught him 

the anchor they threw at his life 

oh these misery's merchants 

dragged through life as a burden 

rushed off to his cage of glass 

to open the single window 

a means of escape, out in the open 

there are still holes in these walls 

puking information into the unwanting 

probing the last hope of defence 

so he plugged up the holes 

shut the outside window 

in doing that, madness payed a visit 

...and then suddenly in mid-thought 

escape was a factor and as from inside 

pushing out were words 

through fingers came uncovering 

revealing the truth of him there in the dark... 

skin began to crawl as they neared him 

is all pleasure release? 

oh these misery's merchants 

saw the message clear 

"it is time to pay" 

like a ghost in daylight 

on an overcrowded street
