X - ME

Compositor: Jane Schmetterling

(She is)
I was born in a forest in a great country
(Ex-me)
And my lovely parents, they took care of me
(I can't)
My sisters and brothers played so gleefully
(Believe)
I want to see my family, they must wait for me
(I cry)
Yes! I feel so lost, I don't know where I am
(I feel)
Something so confusing and scaring my soul
(I saw)
All my last bitter seconds on a silver screen
(I felt)
As if I tried to escape from a monstrous beast

In this darkened place
I feel the sorrow of a terrible awakening
Shadows that surround me
Between tears and screams
Come from a thousand virgins
I can hear their voices
Whispers, sad groans
Against demonic roars
And beside myself, there is an angel
Whispering to me: Be strong and brave

I'm strong
You were born in a forest in a great country
I have the key
And your lovely parents, they took care of you
To free them
Your sisters and brothers played so gleefully
From this battle
You want to see your family, they must wait for you
For my love
Yes! You feel so lost, you don't know where you are
And pure soul
Something so confusing and scaring your heart
Salvation
All your last bitter seconds on a silver screen
I'm a lady
As if you tried to escape from a monstrous beast
Lady of the dawn

In this darkened place
You feel the sorrow of a terrible awakening
Am I?
Shadows that surround you
Between tears and screams
Come from a thousand virgins
Tell me why!
You can hear their voices
Whispers, sad groans
Against demonic roars
I want to fight!
And beside yourself, there is an angel
Whispering to you: Be strong and brave
Give me light! No more cries! I have to try
