Beyond the Realms of Death (Live) - Judas Priest

He had enough

He couldn't take anymore

He'd found a place

In his mind and slammed the door

No matter how they tried

They couldn't understand

They washed and dressed him

Fed him by hand

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I am safe here in my mind

I'm free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life

I'll decide not you

Withdrawn he'd sit there

Stare blank into space

No sign of life

Did flicker on his face

Until one day he smiled

It seemed as though with pride

The wind kissed him

Goodbye - and then he died

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I'm safe here in my mind

Free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life

I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin

It's not fit for livin' in

Yeah! I will start again

It can take forever, and ever, and ever

And ever, but I'll still win.

How many like him

Are there still

Who to us all

Seem to have lost the will

They lie in thousands

Lank and lost

Is nothing worth this bitter cost

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I'm safe here in my mind

Free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life

I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin

It's not fit for livin' in

Beyond the realms of death
