Stranger - Pallas

Stranger

A man that you must learn to hate

He takes the gravy from your plate

Without a word that’s out of place

Lies black and white straight to your face

Stranger from a strange land

An empty smile That might mislead you for a while

The gentle words with which he speaks

And silent tears he sometimes weeps

All bear the traitor’s mark and keep

You lost in verbal hide and seek

Stranger from a strange land

An empty smile That might mislead you for a while

The «lover's eyes»

Where only coldness lies

Betrays no sign

Of the poison in his mind

No matter what he says he feels

(Or what your feelings say)

You’ll never find out what is real

(But does it matter anyway)

Stranger from a strange land

Can you find out the truth — it’s near you

(It might mislead you for a while)

Stranger from a strange land

An empty smile That might mislead you for a while

Stranger from a strange land

Can you see through the lie?

Do you know who is who?

(It might mislead you for a while)

Stranger from a strange land

An empty smile That might mislead you for a while
