[Verse 1]
Turn the spotlights on the people
Switch the dial and eat the worm
Take your chances, kill the engine
Drop your bombs and let it burn

[Pre-Chorus]
White flags shot to ribbons
The truce is black and burned
Shell shock in the kitchen
Tables overturned

[Chorus]
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again

[Verse 2]
Throwing dice now, rolling loaded
I see sixes all the way (Six, six, six...)
In a black hole, and I'm spinning
As my wings get shot away

[Pre-Chorus]
Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shell shock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn
[Chorus]
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
No breaks on the inside
Paper cats and burning barns
There's a fox among the chickens
And a killer in the hounds

[Pre-Chorus]
Questions are a burden
And answers a prison for oneself
Shell shock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

[Chorus]
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again

[Bridge]
But still, we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We're burning brighter than before
I don't have a number, I'm a name!
[Chorus]
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again, yeah, yeah
I'm back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again

[Outro]
Back in the village
And I'm back in the village
And I'm back in the village
Again
