|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''
I've got a feeling of repetition

For a long time ago

Has filled his head

Things we change

Contradictions like that girl

With the (rain/ran?)

'''(Chorus)'''

Again and again

The same old story

You've lived it hours before

Merciless

Stop believing excuse

All the lives they've abused

'''(Verse 2)'''

To go high and higher

You only have to take

The first step

To break it up

It's just a matter of time

To (omit?) a crime

'''(Chorus)'''

Again and again

The same old story

You've lived it hours before

Merciless

Stop believing excuse

All the lives they've abused

'''''(Synth Solo)'''''

'''''(Guitar Solo)'''''

'''(Verse 3)'''

Be on the (limit?)

There's so much to know

It will never be enough

(Trespass?)

Our shame

Now (???)

'''(Chorus)'''

Again and again

The same old story

You've lived it hours before

Merciless

Stop believing excuse

All the lives they've abused

Again and again

The same old story

You've lived it hours before

Merciless

Stop believing excuse

All the lives they've abused
