A Life All Mine Lyrics - The Gathering

Razor sharp I cut 

The bull from my life 

Too blunt your knife 

To slay this dreamer 

We might be dogs astray 

No running line will hold us 

So rather kick and kill me 

I'll be butchered all the same 

No words are spoken 

But the world is broken 

'Cause I want something 

Something all wrong done 

A life instead of mere living 

Folding crumbling withering oh hell 

What difference when working the way 

The crown of my work 

Is what I shall gain 

At the end of my days 

Daylight awake to a puppet world 

No strings attach to this body of mine 

Folding crumbling withering oh well 

The punished pushed along the line 

All my actions, all my moves 

A life all mine to lose 

The crown of my work 

A life all mine to lose 

A life all mine 

Is what I choose 

At the end of my days 

[Trickster G & Anneke van Giersbergen]
