Strong on your feet, you were blinded
Building up a tower on shaking ground
Once in a world full of colors
Back to see just ruins there to be found

And now you're falling, crawling
Diggin' in the broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it's been fading away

Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying, illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane

Stories are told - wanna hear him
Talking from the picture to your head
Follow the call of a puppet
Led into a black room painted red

Where life is painless, brainless
You don't think of broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it's been fading away

Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying, illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane

Look at the picture
Point at the child there on the floor
Realize that it's a looking glass

Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying, illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane

Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying, illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane

He was born into this world
Living love but he got hurt
And he sighed when he beheld
The bleeding lamb

Blood and tears drip on the ground
Dung the olives on the mount
Love is crucified, made way
For the greed of man

There's no way out of here
No we don't, don't wanna take it no more
No we don't, don't wanna wait forever

Golden dawn, a new age has begun
Golden dawn, in every single one
Don't you run away, don't say it's all too late
Start to ring in the age... The golden dawn

Killing brothers, sick ideals
TV-Show lie and reveal
Poor philistine reasons why
to hate a man

It's so easy to give in
do your dirty trick and win
Join those lemmings to the shore
and fly but then

Don't complain if you'll drown in the end
Kill to eat, when you're the final one
There's no one to compete
Then find the time to think of a...

Golden dawn, a new age has begun
Golden dawn, in every single one
Don't you run away, don't say it's all too late
Start to ring in the age... The golden dawn

This is my day
Soldiers are coming to take me away
May justice be done
I hold on to pray
But no god seems to hear me
The pain I will face is my price for disgrace
For things that I've never done

The toll of the bell and the flight of the raven
They open my cell and I feel it's too late
There's no need to yell they don't want to hear me
The morning has come
It seems like my work's been done
Today I'll be the one

Sometimes it's good to be schizophrene
Cause when I'm close to the end I've got always a friend
On my lonesome way to the final decay
I listen to a voice telling me

Now dream away - follow me astray
To a world that we can reach on wings of a dream
Now dream away - follow me astray
To a world that we can reach on wings of a dream

I've got the key to the end of the nightmare
To leave all the dreams of bane and despair
The life I redeem has got the price of insanity
That you just can't get cause you're not even mad
You only trust in your eyes

Once upon a time there was a noble man like me
He only cared about the things he saw
One dark night without a moon he loved
The dog of his queen
Thinking it was her he enjoyed the life in the raw

Strong on your feet, you were blinded
Building up a tower on shaking ground
Once in a world full of colors
Back to see just ruins there to be found

And now you're falling, crawling
Diggin' in the broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it's been fading away

Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying, illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane

Stories are told - wanna hear him
Talking from the picture to your head
Follow the call of a puppet
Led into a black room painted red

Where life is painless, brainless
You don't think of broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it's been fading away

Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying, illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane
