Take Control [German translation]

Take control, take control

I see a vision rising, dreary

Fading in as children play twilight games

In the town called Ordinary

An eye of light reveals a gateway to doomsday

In that projection of reality

Something passes through the stars, shifting walls

Enter agents of ill fantasy

For evil holds you in its arms, false alarms

Illusory, treading on reality

Polaris in a web of hypocrisy

Take control, take control

Oh, can’t you see, see the light is fading?

And in the night the demons rage and call your name

No deeper madness than your own making

Visions lashing blades of shame, but will you take the blame?

Hissing noises in the hallway

Bloodshot eyes, staring through, what seeds are sown?

Who’ll survive the blood red power play?

Who’ll take control, whose name will be known?

Illusory, reality’s all fallacy

Polaris in a web of hypocrisy

Take control, take control

I wish I’d had the wherewithal to find you when I had the chance

Instead I danced with death in fervour’s skin

I missed the moment before the fall to recognise I had a voice

A choice to stop it all from happening

If only I could save you from the pain

A rising sense of awe and wonder

A might I see has always been deep within me

I can feel my inborn power

I call the shots when it’s all finally clear to see

And so I’m drawn ever deeper

In the Oldest House and all these empty rooms

This vacant, spellbound mystery motel

Where I’m the keeper, where I set the rules

Potency is my new reality

Polaris living now inside of me

I control, I control
