Stranger - Avatar

Fly out of your cage

Leave eighteen years of pain behind

And feel the wind under your wings

Victim of life, you’re free now

Breathe the clean air — sweet smell of death

Sundown is here — Another one rises

Pain, sweet pain

You’re too much for me

Pain, sweet pain

You’ll set me free

Nothing is to stay

You wander on

You couldn’t wait

Please wait for me

I ask the stars:

Where have you gone?

What’s in the next world?

Will we ever meet again?

Like a bird flying to the moon

You never reached it — Your hunger was your doom

Doomed to live or forced to die

In this cage you were entrapped

What did you see when your dreams held you wake?

What did you say to the ghosts in your head?

Pain, sweet pain

You’re too much for me

Pain, sweet pain

You’ll set me free

You drowned in your own blood and tears

Once you have jumped there is no way back

All these illusions, trying to make it right

But it feels wrong, wrong to say goodbye

My beloved stranger — Nobody knew what happened

I hope you can tell me later

I don’t mourn your death — I just don’t know why

You were always close but still so far away

Pain, sweet pain

You’re too much for me

Pain, sweet pain

You’ll set me free

Nothing is to stay

You wander on

You couldn’t wait

Please wait for me

I ask the stars:

Where have you gone?

What’s in the next world?

Will we ever meet again?
