Karelia - The Hermit lyrics

Lived for a long time surrounded

By numb and indifferent crowd

Wandering amid empty faces

Enslaved by shallow existence

Misunderstood, faced impassable walls

I Could not rely on anyone

I endeavoured to look like them

Played this ludicrous part in vain

Overwhelmed by the weigh of lies

Misunderstood, had to run away

Left all in this unreal comedy

Don't regret this great build-up at all

I did not exist

Now every dawn's rebirth

Released at last, I'm no longer enjailed

I start from scratch again

Surrounded by the crowd

Devoured by constant strains I knew that

I cannot live that way, amid them

Insane tricks and cynical lies

Now show's going on

But I just left the stage

I'm the one I was supposed to be

No longer enjailed
