Paddy and the Rats - Captain Of My Soul

In stillness and silence
There’s phantoms and ghosts
Alone in the darkness
I fear the most
Amongst all my demons
I’m a stranger tonight
From me there’s no place to hide

There’s shiver in the nightmare
When I wake I can’t breath
No pills, no kind words
To stop this old fear
But if I end up sleeping with no dreams
I forget how to believe
I don’t want to lose my belief

Hope is the rope
I have lost but then I find it
It grows all the holes
But I’m the captain of my soul
Hope for the best
As I clasp my shaking hands
There’s only love in the end

I follow my lush heart
There’s immortal, lamp flame
I slunk like a wise wolf
Between lust and shame
If I let myself tempted
By the killing snake eyes
I forget my greedy vice

It takes a life planting trees to grow woods
But only takes a moment
to burn it down for good
But if I end up sleeping with no dreams
I forget how to believe
I don’t want to lose my belief

As I walked through the night
I didn’t waste all my time
With every wrong step I walked the road
Cause I’m learning all my life
That’s the way I will win the war
All your faults make you right
