1. THE PRICE WE PAY

Every war has its casualties
The reward for participating is suffering
While you’re pointing out the mistakes I’ve made
Like in this whole mess I’m the only one to blame

Fought for my…
Bled for my…
Came back as a mess, got nothing back
Blaming, accusing
For recklessness, while you leaned back

[Chorus]
It’s the price we pay

It’s easy to relax and enjoy the show
Observe from far away and pretend that you know
And when things are looking bad you find a scapegoat
Hand out a few punishments and swear another oath

Fought for my…
Bled for my…
Came back as a mess, got nothing back
Blaming, accusing
For recklessness, while you leaned back

[Chorus]

Nothing but a coward and a liar
Who could walk over corpses to fulfil his own desires

Fought for my…
Bled for my…
Came back as a mess, got nothing back
Blaming, accusing
For recklessness, while you leaned back


2. THE RUTHLESS AND THE RECKLESS

All the dark thoughts inside me
Suppressed for years and now they’re bursting out
Tried to stay the way you wanted me to be
Mostly out of fear and hope for it to end, but now

You managed to make an animal
The man inside is no more
Through the pain made primeval

[Chorus]
While the ruthless takes the fall
The life of the reckless goes on
On and on

Every demon has to be faced
Each victory with its own reward
As time passes by things change
The price is high when you go too far

Can’t control the animal anymore
In time it will consume your soul
There’s no turning back now, you should have known

[Chorus]

Reached a point of no return
When hate’s overwhelming there’s no turning back
At least you got what you deserved
Too bad your legacy is a shattered waste of a human being

Is this really how it should be ?
The artist in this play is set free
While his works of art gets locked in

[Chorus]


3. UNFAIR

The joy I once felt was indescribable
And the warmth from the caring, so enjoyable
Comparable to heaven
There was no question how to play my part
Every second pure joy, it really wasn’t too hard
Couldn’t be happier, until that day I lost it all

Every day I loved you, every day I cared
With a knife in your back, face your greatest fear

Realised that the whole thing was planned from the start
Really hard to accept, when stabbed right through the heart
Hell must feel ok now
Right or wrong, can’t sit still and watch this go on
Expected to fall apart and slowly just be gone
Since it lasted quite some time, you should know better

Every day I loved you, every day I cared
With a knife in your back, face your greatest fear
When you loose it all you never think ahead
And in this case it was worth it, although it feels unfair

My life is gone, and yours will be too

Every day I loved you, every day I cared
With a knife in your back, face your greatest fear

My life is gone, and yours will be too
