All you needed was somebody with a dream,
A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
Only dead fish float with the stream -
Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial.
I'm not your Robin Hood or Peter Pan,
I won't play Jesus Christ - Santa Claus.
I'll never pass for a superman -
I'm just an effect trying to find a cause.
Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here.
Is it because I'm flesh and blood
That creature comforts feel so good?
I give my body all it needs -
It sleeps and eats and shits and breeds.
And if I keep my feelings stum,
Hard luck - bibo ergo sum.
Just trying to do the best I can
Is a giant leap for this small man.
All you needed was somebody with a dream,
A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
Only dead fish float with the stream -
Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial.
You say that life is a miracle -
I don't believe one word.
Forgive me for being so cynical -
From down here you all look absurd.
So are you happy now we all feel the same?
Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal.
You're afraid to go against the grain,
Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual.
James T. Kirk - Albert Einstein,
Sitting safe aboard the Enterprise.
If you're out there send me a sign -
I need somebody to sympathise with.
Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here.
Must I succumb to every urge -
First feast and fast (then binge and purge).
My spirit's strong - my flesh is weak,
I laugh and cry and scream and speak.
And sometimes when i feel confused,
I walk a path I did not choose.
Watch my life on video -
A private homemade horror show.
All you needed was somebody with a dream,
A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
Only dead fish float with the stream -
Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial.
So are you happy now we all feel the same?
Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal.
You're afraid to go against the grain,
Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual.
You say that life is a miracle -
I don't believe one word.
Forgive me for being so cynical -

Skyclad are a British heavy metal band with strong folk influences in their music. Considered one of the pioneers of folk metal, the name comes from a pagan/wiccan term for ritual nudity, in which rituals are performed with participants metaphorically clad only by the sky, as a sign of equality. The name alludes both to the band's religious leanings and to their social beliefs, as set out in the song "Skyclad" on their first album. The group released a series of albums between the 1990s and 2000s, combining elements of heavy metal with traditional folk melodies and lyrics often inspired by British mythology and history. Among the most representative tracks are "The Serpent's Tongue", "The Ballad of the Green Man" and "Skyclad".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
