In 2015 the remastered version of Inferno Go-Go was released.

Mind Riot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting in room
Naked under the cover of dark
Feeling like living
Passed me by
Sorrow of my wasted life
Is this worth it ?
I don't wanna know
Should I ?
Questions of my life
My dream of life died
Whatever I did, whatever I do
Never get the satisfaction
Meaningless of all existence
Makes me wanting to die
Running out of life
Away from the ruins of mine
Is the way I need to go
Unknown is the way I wander
Able to see only the future
Missing the past, no reality
To lay down in silence
Watching into horizon
