A Quiet Life

Maybe this time,
 Maybe this time I'll outwit my past
 I'll throw away the numbers, the keys
 And all the cards
 Maybe I can carve out a living in the cold
 At the outskirts of some city
 I extinguish all my recent pasts
 Become another man again
 And have a quiet life
 A quiet life for me
 A quiet life
 A quiet life for me
 A quiet life for someone
 An acquired life for me
 I lost, I ran
 I started once anew
 In northern grey, in drizzling rain
 In salted slush and bitter hale
 But the order as always merciless
 It wants to see me fail
 So the hunter is now the hunted
 Past voices call my name
 I renounce my past to live again
 A quiet life
 A quiet life
 A quiet life for me
 A quiet life for someone
 An acquired life for me
 I thought I have been given
 Another chance again
 But heaven lies as usual
 I repented but in vain
 It tries to cheat me out of my good aim
 Take away what I never really got
 My quiet life
 No quiet life for me
 No quiet life
 No quiet life for me
 A quiet life for someone
 No quiet life for me
