eloy - metromania lyrics

at last i realize, i see the world through different eyes
now there's a feeling of joy in my heart
you know, there was a time when doubt
and strife controlled my life
until i felt they would tear me apart
i was so lonely
waiting, hoping for sight in the dark
and it was only
the light inside that provided the spark
a sudden vision of the world around
that pushed me to rhyme
another range of possibilities
justified my time
here from my roof i see a scheme
of things which pleases me
no desperation no fear and no doubt
i use to kneel
and pray that i could someday break away
but i don't need to
i've found my way out
i was so lonely
waiting, hoping for sight in the dark
and it was only
the light inside that provided the spark
am i a madman, out of control
or the only one aware of his soul?
chorus:
my hideaway, my place to stay
my refuge lies in metromania
my sanctuary, my satori
my freedom lies in metromania
