Lyrics


1. The Guillotine
Guess you can't hear a sound
In the shadows all tied down
‘Cause these beasts dwell inside our hearts
Only one thing left to do
I can hurt someone like you
Tear you out for all to see these lies
Now you sing back to me
In a strange harmony
Head of state facing up to the guillotine
Gave me no choice but this
Give the man in me a lethal kiss
Root you out relentlessly
At last


2. Stop Making Speeches
All accounted for.
Marked sheep, sold.
Matched and numbered, weak.
Downsized, uptight.
It's about time.
Stop making speeches.
We can't hear you
From the bunker bed.
It's not like the movies,
where hatred made clearer sense.
This time around.
Grey sharks. Down.
Betrayed for personal wealth
Twelve feet under ground.


3. If All Else Fails
Stare is blank, lips spore
They speak my name
Who'll be the first to get thrown overboard?
Guess we can stay right here
Try to keep ourselves warm
Cross our hearts and pray
For someone to come and take us home
Hijacked mind comes clean
Speaking through tears
How I dearly wish you were not here
Guess we could stay right here
Try to keep ourselves warm
Cross our hearts and pray
For someone to come and take us home
Who'll be the first to get thrown away?
This ocean will drag you down
I can't lie to myself
Cross our hearts and pray
I'll wait here with you
Going down.


4. Medea
As silence strikes, just for a minute
Together for a few seconds time
As mourning sweeps
It comes and cleanses
The scent of what you left behind
Candle flickered and blew out
Scorched soul searching through the night
I came to listen
Through oceans depth you're fighting life
These burning bridges



5. Hyenas
Fall back to sleep
Raising death-brigades
As they swarm
As your voice falls in silence through the rain
You will know
Try to keep them out
Try to stay calm
Mark of beasts
On the day all ends
Was this hidden from our view?
We all knew.
Your life ran by
I caught your light
When no one knows and no one questions
What hides beneath those old scared eyes?
Candle flickered and blew out
Scorched soul searching through the night
I came to listen
Through oceans depth you're fighting life
These burning bridges
Step through, sink slowly out of sight
I came to listen
So many thorns, sleepless nights
These burning bridges
Your life ran by
I caught your light
Cause I came to listen
Cause I came to listen
Your life ran by I caught your light


6. Through Walls
Leave myself, try to come back as something else.
I'll explode.
It itches and crawls.
Drift along, sweep down and I'll cry for help.
Hide until morning comes.
It will all be over soon.
Movements in the unseen
It's the last time
Can't you just prove I'm wrong?
They hide in the dark
Cannot see clear
Can't you just stay with me?
Eyes stay shut
Rabbit-heart speaks loud and clear
Teeth and claws Wishing you were here
Won't make a sound
See them coming through the walls
Left as bait Weigh a thousand pound
All be over soon.
Movements in the unseen
It's the last time
Can't you just prove I'm wrong?
They hide in the dark
Cannot see clear
Can't you just come with me?
All be over soon
Movements in the unseen
It's the last time
Can't you just prove I'm wrong?
They hide in the dark
Cannot see clear
Can't you just come with me?


7. Like Coming Home
Just like rain hits the ground
Scatters to bring life
Or great waves come crashing down
Turn this life around
The minute your hand reached out for mine
Bursting out of time
Brought life through love
I came home When all seems lost
Hang on We'll make it out of here as one
This life through love, so strong
Breathing of you is keeping me calm
Your eyes so soothing
Ravaging world can't keep us apart
I'll hear you screaming
Feelings I held so deep inside
Stranded and uptight
Now I know where they belong
I came home
When all seems lost
Hang on
We'll make it out of here as one
This life through love, so strong
I came home
You're the one
Just like rain hits the ground
Fragile winter breeze
One touch and we'll escape from this town to a place were time stands still
If I can spare one single thought when my days are counted
Please let me remember when we first kissed


8. Death Throes
Here you learn the past was a mistake
Pretending you're still strong
I recall the right to life came dead
You flee and lose control
As the autumn clashes
Somewhere between our greed and desire
Did you fail to question?
Is life worth living when you retire?
You'll keep taking to yourself
In world were humans act as prey
You'd hope to find it here, so alone
All those lost loves long gone
Here you learn the past was a mistake
Can't you hear them call?
As the autumn clashes
Somewhere between our greed and desire
Did you fail to question?
Is life worth living when you retire?
You'll keep taking to yourself
In world were humans act as prey
You'd hope to find it here, so alone
All those lost loves long gone
You'll keep taking to yourself
In world were humans act as prey
You'd hope to find it here, so alone
All those lost loves long gone


9. Asleep
Here it comes with desire
Plan every step
Here it takes your life
Leaving nothing
They'll cut you down to fit here
Welcome knife, accept the pill, needle stings
Waging war against yourself
Is it all your fault?
The real world awaits your breath
Been away too long
Cut you down to fit here
Welcome knife, accept the pills, needle stings
Keep on polishing you'll hit the bone
All of you erased, empty and cold


10. Last Call
Closing time and there you are
Beat in turns. I'm off.
I couldn't run, count blows while I'm down
I couldn't run.
I felt your touch
Been missing for weeks now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp
And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Somethings that are so very hard to
Closing time, I'll leave for you
Screams that reached the shore
I could run, count blows while I'm down
I couldn't run.
I felt your touch
Been missing for weeks now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp
And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Somethings that are so very hard to
If I could change you know I would
Reaching back through time
I'd risk it all
I'd save you somehow
Like you saved me
I felt your touch
Been missing for years now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp
And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Old memories come back to haunt me still



11. 1909.08.04
Maybe I'll break this heart in two
Hail the ones with nothing left to lose
You thought you were safe inside your nest
I've followed your footsteps, giving you away
I can see you through the fog
Closing time. Don't panic or hit the alarm.
Stay calm.
All adds up, eating from inside
Nerves like snakes
Nothing left to hide
You thought you were safe inside your nest
I've followed your footsteps, giving you away
I can see you through the fog
Closing time. Don't panic or hit the alarm.
Taking aim. I've waited to come here, to see what you look like.
You're just like me. You'll panic and hit the alarm.
Stay calm.


12. One Of Us Must Hang
Careful with what you're wishing for
They'll lead you down below
Careful with what you're thinking of
Don't want to see you at the end of a rope
Take it one of us must hang
One of us must go
Stand-off is rigged, this trap must close
Take it one of us must hang
One of us must go
Ears are ringing, alarm come near
Careful with what you're speaking of
For how long can you hold your breath?
Careful with what you're dreaming of
They'll hunt you down
Collapsing walls
Take it one of us must hang
One of us must go
Stand-off is rigged, this trap must close
Take it one of us must hang
One of us must go
Ears are ringing, alarm come near
