Untiefen - Disillusion

This is not some stupid quest

Ciphers come in pairs, and nothing less

I wish I was second best

But I seem to be unlikely, and nothing less

This is not some stupid quest

The touch of inner gloom in the emptiness

I wish I was second best

But I seem to be unlikely, and nothing less

This is not some stupid quest

The hour has grown late, late at last

The line grows thin with every breath

A twinkle in the shadows, in the depth

This is not some stupid quest

I just want to fly beyond the crest

Take some time for a second guess

Time is running short, make me second best

This is not some stupid quest

A twinkle in the shadows, in the depth

The line grew thin with every breath

And then came to rest four seconds past
