01 Mercyside
You can hate me for
All the things I do
You should let my heart go
Whatever you decide to do
You can make me bleed
You can make me cry
You can make me fall
You can make me live or die
And I'll wonder how
And you'll wonder why
And you'll wonder why
For years the world has been
Falling apart
Like the dynamite would
The surface is swollen;
Cold
But underneath, the blood always boils
It's getting harder
Getting worse now
Every day
We're growing colder
Digging deeper
In my mind
It's getting harder
Getting worse now
Every day
We're growing colder
Digging deeper
In my mind
You laughed
But your smile never reached your eyes
You cry
But your eyes never shed a tear
And I wonder how
You laughed and you
Untied your hair
There are things to do
Things we never could tell
The surface is swollen;
Cold
But beneath, the blood always boils
It's getting harder
Getting worse now
Every day
We're growing colder
Digging deeper
In my mind
Nail me
Choose me
Blame me
Every time you light
Your fingers
I'm not what I decide
It's getting harder
Getting worse now
Every day
We're growing colder
Digging deeper
In my mind
It's getting harder
Getting worse now
Every day
We're growing colder
Digging deeper
In my mind
02 Sanguine Sky
My blood is tainted
I serve you
A setting sun bleeding
Into an ocean of tears for you
Into an ocean of tears for you
It's an exodus
From the dark
The night is breathing
The night is exhaling
Falling, falling
Up the staircase
Towards the moon, the stars,
And the Venus-kissed Mars
The ever-worry [??] Mars
Blood runs silent
The stains grow darker
And a spite's eating at me
I see the dead awaken
My fate forsaken
I'm free
I am talking
On a hidden line
She says she is thieving
She says she is dead
She says there is a downward spiral
From the moon, the stars,
The ever-worry [??] Mars
The ever-worry [??] Mars
Blood runs silent
The stains grow darker
And a spite's eating at me
I see the dead awaken
My fate forsaken
I'm free
(oooh)
Blood runs silent
The stains grow darker
And a spite's eating at me
I see the dead awaken
My fate forsaken
I'm free
Blood runs silent
The stains grow darker
And a spite's eating at me
I see the dead awaken
My fate forsaken
I'm free
03 Open Ground
Digging
In the mound
Dig in
In the mud
Sweat swings down my face
My sweet taste; like blood
Hide me with locks from your head
I can not win
Bleeding, dying,
Digging
For your part
The torch went out
The room went dark
Falling
In the fire
Crawling
Through the night
Tears fall down my face
My sweet taste; like blood
Cover me with locks from your head
Bleeding, dying,
Digging
For your part
The torch went out
The room went dark
Your savagery's always new
Deep in my back
Full of fear
I cannot see
Pain that tricked your screams
I cannot see
Bleeding, dying,
Digging
For your part
The torch went out
The room went dark
Bleeding, dying,
Digging
For your part
The torch went out
The room went dark
From the corner of
My eye
I feel them closing in
I know they caught
The scent of me
And then they went for you / me
(A curse on you to stay with me)
04 The Ravens
Only ashes and bones remain
My hair is wet, my eyes are sore
The past has been fed to the flames
I cannot breathe any more
I try to stand on my feet, but I fall
I try to walk, but I crawl
Live as we knew it is over, and you are gone
Forever gone
I will not bend
To our cross
I will not kneel
At your feet
Greed and anger
Made us younger
Couldn't save us when the tower fell
All my strength and
All my hunger
All is lost and none will live to tell
In the ruins of days gone by
A young affection, a velvet sky
A slave to greed
I do not feel regret anymore
I sense a presence of birds
Encircling me
And I am gone
Forever gone
I will not bend
To our cross
I will not kneel
At your feet
Greed and anger
Made us younger
Couldn't save us when the tower fell
All my strength and
All my hunger
All is lost and none will live to tell
Til jord skal vi bli *
Til jord skal vi bli
Dark
In the night
Dead
In the moon
I will not kneel
I will not kneel
I
Would rather die
Facing my doom
I will not kneel
I will not kneel

05 Destination Departure
Caressing the anger
Nothing will ever be the same again
But you are most most beautiful
But you are most most beautiful
This is my destination
Left behind in desolation
But you are most beautiful
But you are most beautiful
Leave me
You talk like you know, but you don't
And it shows
She should have out-lived me
I listened before, but I can't any more
So just leave me
I tried so hard
To find something that I
Could believe in
But there's nothing there
So there's nothing to feel
Who's gonna be here
If you want me to leave?
Who's gonna be here?
Caressing the anger
This is my destination
But you are most most beautiful
But you are most most beautiful
Leave me
You talk like you know, but you don't
And it shows
She should have out-lived me
I listened before, but I can't any more
So just leave me
I tried so hard
To find something that I
Could believe in
But there's nothing there
And there's no-one who cares
Who's gonna be here
If you want me to leave?
Who's gonna be here
If you want me to leave?
Who's gonna let it
When you cannot make it stop?
Can you hang on for today?
06 Down
My violent mood-swings peak and my hands
Are as heavy as rocks
I have no time and no space
I'm falling behind
Just take me home
My patience has all run out
And I feel like yelling
It is too much
I'll abandon your town
And your grace have fallen behind
There is not God
Night is cursed
[...]
But still it rains
Still it rains
It rains like hell
It rains like hell
I want them to [...]
I want them to [...]
My violent mood-swings peak and my hands
Are as heavy as rocks
I have no time and no space
I'm fallen behind
Just take me home
Night is cursed
[...]
But still it rains
Still it rains
It rains like hell
It rains like hell
I want them to [...]
I want them to [...]
Rain
It rains like hell
It rains like hell
It rains like hell
I want them to [...]
I want them to [...]
Spinning voices
Failing minds
I don't want to know their names
07 Fate
I've been trying to participate in masquerades
The throne's been empty for too long
The paradise for those who play along
And the fortunate ones
I've been listening to the voice at night and he is right
I am the chosen one
And my shepherd, he has paid my Prynne
I will go and smile
I've been begging for the public eye, now watch me fly
Can you see what I've become
So expose me, I shall be released
From the flesh-pain so sweet
I was walking through the valley of the living dead
Didn't help the tears I shed
Always chasing those elusive dreams
A drop of blood in the street
08 Lotus
When the morning weeps
And the sky is near
And the road you choose
By my hand is slain;
In the morning light
All is clean and done
And the spider webs
Shine like silver threads
But you must not fear the dark
I will watch over you sleep
Until the morning comes
All wounds have to fade
I will, I will
I will watch over your sleep
Lead me
Please guide me
Unchain me
Untie me
I see your shadow
Shake on the wall
But I cannot hear you voice when it calls
Can you tell dreams from reality
Can you tell sense from insanity
Sometimes it all melts down
And mix into half-lies
Half-lies
But you must not fear the dark
I will watch over you sleep
Until the morning comes
All wounds have to fade
I will, I will
I will watch over your sleep
But you must not fear the dark
I will watch over you sleep
Until the morning comes
All wounds have to fade
I will, I will
I will watch over your sleep
09 Sacrilege
There'll be no-one left in doubt
When your soul be cast aground [?? maybe soul son]
And Jesus will heal our sins
And Jesus will let us in
Stay down on your knees
Stay down on your knees
Millions crusading against mocking heresy
Man race [...]
[...]
(Stay down on your knees)
Talk to the razor blades
Teach us divinest deeds
(Stay down on your knees)
God bless the guilt
To make us stay down on our knees
And now the war is over and their pain is all gone
Each wound has been healing whilst eager to move on
Talk to the razor blades
God bless the guilt
To make us stay down on our knees
10 In the wake
Never knew quite when it stopped
Nor when it began
Just a chain of happenings
Years floating
Days passing by
Falling in and out of madness
Walking on the edge
Pretending
Faking strength
Hiding behind smiles
Never knew quite when it died
Nor when it was torn
Just a chain of bad ideas
Years floating
Days passing by
You may think time stands still, it does not
It disappears
In the wake
Whatever sense it makes
We never learn from our mistakes
Whatever comfort it might bring
Nothingness embraces everything
11 Deadlands
I fail to impress you, and you
Feel free to abuse me
All has been in vain
We're through
So please stop pretending
As I spent a wasteland on you
Words have been spoken
My chains have been broken
This street has an end
I have failed
Never will again
My life was invaded by you
This image of straws that break against the wind
We're through
But the world keeps spinning endlessly [...]
Get off my shoulders
Unleashed
On my dreams
In deadlands wasting
Words have been spoken
My chains have been broken
This street has an end
I have failed
Never will again
On your own
[...]
Dead and gone
Carved in stone
Words have been spoken
My chains have been broken
This street has an end
I have failed
Never will again
