[Verse 1] Only the one who calls himself the greatest stands at the end all on his own Only the one who claims the biggest place finds no heart to call his home You ask for the name of that little man But your gaze stays cold when he gives you nothing to scan [Pre-Chorus] If you can lose, then you won’t lose yourself And if you win, you needn’t shout for help If you can lose, then you stay free and light And if you win, you don’t need to cry for the light [Chorus –crossover - Guitar Solo with sustained notes and doom feeling, Dark, sacred, monumental] Your pride is quiet but it never stays small Your pride is quiet and it locks in all For those who reach so high end up alone For those who reach so high end up alone [Sax solo doom feeling, monumental] [Verse 2] You pile up words like fragile glass and call it strength and poise But every step you take on others turns closeness into voids The hand you never choose to take will harden with the years And what you call your power now only softens into tears [Pre-Chorus] If you can lose, then you won’t lose yourself And if you win, you needn’t call for help If you can lose, then you won’t lose yourself And if you win, you needn’t shout for help [Chorus –crossover - Guitar Solo with sustained notes and doom feeling, Dark, sacred, monumental] Your pride is quiet but it won’t stay small Your pride is quiet and it shuts you in after all For those who climb so high end up alone For those who climb so high end up alone [Bridge] [Spoken deep, resonant female voice, divine, like warm thunder, slow and majestic] Und irgendwann sitzt du da mit dem ganzen Gewicht Keiner, der deinen Namen ruft Kein Blick, der zu dir spricht Dann hörst du endlich was du lange nicht sahst Dass ein offnes Herz mehr trägt als Macht Was glänzt, kann blenden wer brüllt, vergeht Doch wer sich selbst kennt der besteht [Chorus –crossover - Guitar Solo with sustained notes and doom feeling, Dark, sacred, monumental] Dein Stolz ist leise doch er bleibt nicht klein Dein Stolz ist leise und er sperrt dich ein Denn wer hoch hinaus will bleibt allein Denn wer hoch hinaus will bleibt allein Outro –crossover - Guitar Solo with sustained notes and doom feeling, Dark, sacred, monumental] Your pride is quiet but it won’t stay small Your pride is quiet and it locks you in For those who climb so high stand alone For those who climb so high stand alone The little man the little man won’t fit inside your glass The little man the little man just keeps on moving past Your pride is silent but it still won’t be small For those who climb so high stand alone stand alone end up alone O, oh, oh, dah, dah, dah, oh, oh, oh, [Sax solo doom feeling, monumental] [stay muted for 3 seconds, then end, fade out]
