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
  
   Like a shadow
   At midnight
   That originate in air
   He wishes
   For 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
   Now
   Now
  
   (Rushed off to his cage of glass
   To open a 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 paid 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"
  
   Dogs fled there in the
   Dark of his path of the damned
   Feared him as once they all did
  
   Like a ghost
   In daylight
   On an overcrowded street
