Many critics said that this song is evil, that make young people to suicide, but they are wrong. It really describe another world that the mortals from this world afraid to talk about. Is about ANOTHER PARALLEL UNIVERSE. Just pay attention to the verses.

The guitar solo is also absolutely amazing, Rob Halford voice is impressive.

[Verse 1] He had enough He couldn't take anymore He 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

[Chorus] 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

[Verse 2] Withdrawn he'd sit there Staring into space No sign of life would flicker on his face Until one day he smiled It seemed as though with pride The wind kissed him goodbye—and then he died

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for living in Yeah! I will start again It can take forever and ever and ever and ever But I still win

[Lead: Glenn]

[Verse 4] How many like him are there still Who to us, all seem to have lost the will They lie in thousands, blank and lost Is knowledge worth this bitter cost?

[Chorus] 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

[Bridge] Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for living in

[Lead: K.K.] [Outro] Beyond the realms of death
