Evil in them
Do not curse at the clocks
Time will not stand still
Do not shout at the rocks

Do not get angry at the mirror
Their ugly face beats the error
Of all your good deeds
There is an evil in them
Stronger than the storm
And the hurricane never ends...

Tainted whispers are like a curse
With the promises you've broken
Maybe a thousand times
A sudden storm taints the breeze

Deep down in our bleeding heart
The empty space is not big enough
