[Verse 1]
No man left behind
Pillow to nowhere
Buried alive
Paying my dues in the morning light
Superglued, wired and I'm tongue-tied, wrestling ghosts
Pillar to post

Like walking out into the firing line
Call me lost or losing sight
Nothing brings me back to life

Deeper and deeper, gettin' the creeps
Chewing on tongues with tender teeth
Losing my count of the heartbеats, rolling the dice
Night after night
Masking thе vices, disguising a crisis
Viva Valhalla, baby, in my dreams
Trouble-bound devil swept me off my feet, I was numb
[Chorus]
Nothing brings me back to life
Like walking out into the firing line
Call me lost or losing sight
Nothing brings me back to life
[Post-Chorus]
Nothing brings me back to life
