The atmosphere around you is dark and cold
You're only seventeen but in your heart you're feeling old
But one day you will leave this place of fear
Escape to somewhere far away, far away from hereA grain of sand at the ocean shore
Faceless, lost with the urge for more
Can't break free, suffering in pain
Following the everlasting flameThe factory walls here leave no room to breath
You're thirty-four and some old friends became only memories
And still you need to hide your bitter tears
And dream of somewhere far away, far away from hereSwallowed by this material world
Preordained from his death to birth
Can't break free, suffering in pain
Following the everlasting flameThe everlasting flameThere's just no way out of this living hell
You're fifty-six now, just a shadow of your broken self
A wasted life, the pain won't disappear
You'll never see a better place far away from hereA grain of sand at the ocean shore
Faceless, lost with the urge for more
Can't break free, suffering in pain
Following the everlasting flameThe everlasting flame
The everlasting flame
Following the everlasting flame
