Sonata Arctica : The Days of Grays
Letras
1. EVERYTHING FADES TO GRAY
(Instrumental)
2. DEATHAURA
The premonition
Remember when i told you know my
Kin is different in some ways?
And how you should not fall in love
With someone like me, anyway
Between the lines, people see signs
When they feel the sear, every day's fear
And one night their torches
Find the girl without a name
And the one who has her
Love is no more safe
And until i get my peace i'm but a shade
The witch-hunt
The sun lit the white mountain's snow covered peaks,
There i see you, amongst the good people, suffering
"she is the one, the unwanted, decidedly so,
'Cause she makes our children cry.
It's a fact, she is exactly that!
A hardbringer of death from the world of witchcraft,
And she's feeding them cakes and her ale to this innocent boy,
And her magic brings dismay
Exposing the heathen
I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town
Come with me, father, i'm to expose a heathen
In my home town
No one's safe now
Young love's been forbidden
For five-fold kisses, my only love had to die
Envy
Your crops are all flourishing, so what's the catch?
I know what you are, the new evil unhatched
As sure as the dawn, they will hear what i know,
And recognize you, and you'll be cleansed too
The fear
For the good, trusting people in town,
In their fear stricken hearts,
Seeing skyclad's a sign like the deathaura,
Every night, so painful's the memory of love in the dark.
One wheel of the year ends their short lives in fear
I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town.
Come with me, oh, father the heathen is exposed.
The grudge
In the age of burning times, you saved my life
The blaze grew ever higher.
I was your cunning man... Hiding in the light,
Now your land shall go sour...
Your own fear will destroy everything
Envy consumes all, and "thou shall not
Though it hurts, i must tell you
I am truly the one
Behind it all
The curse
In the hands of time we all will die
The dead of night will devour your child...
The creation o' beliefs you've been fed
The fear, the unknown, the poison loved by death.
The flames
In the cold of the night air
Flames purify minds, where
Almost anyone could by the next...
Unless morning finds all of the somehow hexed
Endless inquisition
(Instrumental)
Together, today, for all eternity
I remember how you told me,
Your kin's different, on that sunny day?
You made me smile,'
Cause i was just about to say the same thing
So deeply entwined, love of a lifetime
But they paid someone to say their torment has a name
And after all these years we get to be together for all eternity
3. THE LAST AMAZING GRAYS
The mystery of death before us...
Soon every night can bring the light, and close my eyes.
Sometimes life in here is too limited
Sometimes we don't care at all.
Sometimes...
Time will change the familiar face.
Brightest colors fade to gray
The fear is real, one winter's day brings the clarity.
I feel the time is catching up with us
How many days until its hunger is satisfied?
Leaving the final golden days
We are the last amazing grays
Hoping the young will lead the pack now.
I can feel my heart is beating still
I can see you with my eyes, i still see.
But i can't run the way my children can
Can't accept the helping hand, leave me
You are the strong one, trust in me
You must lead instead of me, now
There's no time, don't hesitate
Or you will also find your fate.
I feel the time is catching up with us
How many days until its hunger is satisfied?
Leaving the final golden days
We are the last amazing grays
Hoping the young will lead the pack now.
In the eyes of every newborn, i see the future
Life is just a phase.
I close my eyes and see them all here beside me.
The last amazing grays
In the eyes of every newborn, i see the past times
A familiar face
I close my eyes and see them, waiting for me
Amongst the amazing grays
Mountain seems to befall this last time, marking the moment
I have found my place
I closed my eyes and joined them, guarding the young
Amongst the amazing grays
4. FLAG IN THE GROUND
In the days when lands were few, and man sometimes had no chance but sell his soul to his landlord to make a living...
In far and away country, they gave acres of land away for free, to all able to claim it...
Ships sailed across the great seas, fortunes were made and dreams shattered...
Sometimes couples were torn apart, for all they could Afford...was one ticket.
Leaving my life behind
My young love and the unborn
Only have a lock of her hair
And burning love inside
After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights,
The sails are lit by the lights of boston
And here we go
Off the ship! Towards the adventure, the one to define our lives.
Daily grind and a tiny room.
I got here safe, love.
I have an address, until spring, then i shall race for the land, hope to hear from you soon
Her letter reads
Please let me know everything's alright
Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight every night, when i'm turning in, my tears find me.
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me
Now that i have made the dollars we need for the dream.
The best horse i've ever seen, a carriage and everything i need...
I will make my way to the great unknown
Every moment i wish you were here with me now
Please let me know everything's alright
No, i'm not a stranger, among the people in here
Yet i have never felt so alone
At high noon the sound will boom, and i will start racing for the land we can call home.
I stuck my flag in the ground, screaming 'n shouting,
I've never felt so proud, love!
We are free from eternal serfdom!
I'm gonna bring you home, my light!
Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. Solo!
Five, four, three, two, together forever! Solo!
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
I am the land and the land is me
Freedom is everything and we are free
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
Every night, when i'm looking at the full moon rising
I hold you and know that we are free
5. BREATHING
I take my hat off, bow before the greatness
You're so much braver i give credit for
Somehow the grays create a harmony
And no color can add a flavor
I've started to feel like
Know the face, familiar stranger
I'm not a child, i feel misunderstood
I built a bridge, you use the tunnel... Now...
The rope we are pulling is slipping away from me
All this wasted time is killing me... And i've started to feel like
I can not control my life anymore
Feel a need to leave and breathe on my own
I remember all the broken songs of our life
Maybe one more wrong will make it all right...
I just really need to be alone now...
I can not control my life anymore
Feel a need to leave and breathe on my own
I remember all the broken songs of our life
Maybe one more wrong will make it all right...
I just really need to be alone now...
6. ZEROES
Dancing on the borderline
4-3-2-1
Hello, although i'm a static zero.
I'm fighting all your wars,
While you dwell in your hypocrisy
You think the world is fine,
When all the evil's overlined
Before you wake up this morning
Well, hello there, you're the local superhero?
Your stronghold's but a paper bag,
We suffer for your promised land
Excuse is really thin,
Hide your revealed achilles heel
Before a new brave morning
All you little superheroes,
Fall short without all them zeroes
A pie in the sky is your brave new world,
And so powerless are thy miracles
Ones, they walk before the rows of 0s,
And soon it dawns on them, how to make billions
Dream up a world, oh how powerless are thy miracles
I'm so tired to fight you
The sun is, oh, so desperate to set tonight,
Ashamed to light a lie
all you little superheroes,
fall short without all them zeroes
the pie in the sky's your brave new world
Your homestead's not yours much longer
These people win elections, empowered by you!
These wars are never ending, acceptance just mind-bending
It's a conspiracy and as always the end is here
We were born that day
This destiny wrote us a life we now waste away
Waste it away, do it today
My life is fine, so why would i care
Because it's not my ass, per se, on the line.
all you little superheroes
Dancing on the borderline
4-3-2-1-do it today!
7. THE DEAD SKIN
It's me i hate, not you at all
I am my own medicine,
Turned into a poison
I think i gave you a lot,
And not enough... I know
Tortured myself, same as you,
Without losing my sanity.
Where's my applause?
I see no reason to live in hell.
How can life make me feel so incomplete?
I had a weakness and my walls came down
My tears won't reach the ground,
Burn my new wound
I know i cannot feel regret for anything
If i was numb, i'd end this once and for all
But i feel the wound, still
I cannot face this day, my guards are down
I cannot love myself, weak, sad clown
I see myself, my fading color
I see no hope there where i always used to
I fear your words, the thing they mirror
Maybe that is all i am, just a reflection. Please help.
I see no reason to live in hell
When you smile, you make me feel incomplete
But it's all ending, the clock's rewinding
We don't mean anything to me. You think?
I killed this silence for us to make things right
The words are loaded.
Once connected,
One torso, one head
One solid reason, the pain
If love's the neck, kept us together, and apart
Now it's broken
There is no cast, no real salvation
When it is broken, it will stay that way
Believe me when i say this
I would not if i did not care
Tears don't mean anything
If we don't know when we're sorry
No one will win today we can't play this... This way.
We cannot soar and still stay on the ground
Don't wanna see me, hear me, hate me
Hate, hate, hate
Jealousy's a phantom,
Something what was never, ever meant to find me
But now its pale green eyes have destroyed everything
You know how it must hurt, and i know,
There is nothing you've done to deserve this.
Apology's a policy,
Sometimes it really has to be, it's kept me afloat thus far
This sho nuf's one nice
Loose noose, perfect times
Are we happy in this hell?
Is there someone who can measure
Whose pain is bigger?
It all has ended, the clock's rewinded.
We don't mean anything to me. You think?
I killed this silence for you to end the night
The worlds are loaded the wounds are open
Unprotected, one torso, no head
One valid reason, the life's suspended
If love's the neck that kept us together, and apart
Now it's broken
There in no cast, no real solution
When it is broken, it will stay that way
Believe me when i say this
I would not if i did no care
Who needs who, when and what the hell for?
Who wants to suffer and be hardcore?
And who's strong enough to pee off the dead skin
I cannot face this day, my guards are down.
8. JULIET
These are my final lines, i've lived all my nine lives,
My nights are over, cannot feel your heart anymore
I lived only through you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
I don not want to die,
But no more can i love you
Now hard is it to understand
My wish to die hand in hand?
This night's like a dream,
You will be the last thing i will see
I hold your head, close my eyes all i love finally dies
Drank the poison most foul with you
But why do you smile ?
Don't smile.
Don't you smile.
You're supposed to wither away with me, so, juliette
Please, don't smile
I'm paralyzed and you are still alive.
Life is but a long, sad game
Lifeless souls, avoiding shame
Two dead swans is all what we need
To pave the winding memory lane.
No hellos, no bad goodbyes
Wailing, distant, silent cries
You can live with my pain,
It's your own you cannot take?
You played the game and lost,
I wonder how you can,
Hold the cards for a dead man
The light and the clarity
Welcome change for the life in the darkness,
Sea of my sanity
Lost in the vanity
All i ever wanted to be lost in you,
My burden, the hatred
My own reality
Mirros and smoke
The final truth unfolds
Your reality
Mirrors my hopes,
Where you will need me
They never find us again once the trail has gone cold
They never find us again once the trail has gone cold
I'm a restless soul, i'll make the best ghost
All things good end into a...
Minute of silence!
- i get myself in line
One minute of silence!
- to face my own demise
One minute of silence!
- this is not what i signed for
One minute of silence,
- you double-crossing, filthy whore
I sit with someone in the dark
I'm so afraid to see it's me again
You had a change of hearts,
Now we're all getting hurt
Ladies and gentleman,
Welcome to my life again
Walk with me, every curve, every bend
This promenade that seems to come to an end
You know what you meant to me,
Empried the room in you life that i paid for
What i lost my sanity
I made a mess now I am here to clean
It is too late to regret anything tonight
After what has come to light
...you have played me for a fool, for all this time?
The story may rewrite itself after i'm gone
One more breath, the day will dawn
How hard is it to understand
My wish to die hand in hand?
These wounds stay open all night long,
You are the last thing i will see
I lived only by you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
My sole reason to die... For
There's no life without you
These are my final lines, i've used all my nine lives,
My life is over, cannot feel your heart anymore
I lived only by you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
Have no reason to live,
I can't feel the love anymore
This is... The end... Why...?
You're closing my eyes...
9. NO DREAM CAN HEAL A BROKEN HEART
My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings
My one and only aim
I hear You breathe I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel Something on my lips i should not
one too many poisoned kisses
and i'm drowning in your deepest sea
i found my destination, what i'm here for
i'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, i lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And i'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something i'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleeping wishes
Is hidden where i cannot see
When i'm awake, i need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
"so repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek
Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lasts for a lifetime
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, i need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, i want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always, somehow
Goodbye love
10. AS IF THE WORLD WASN'T ENDING
Started a dangerous game that's not won by
The person who made the first move
Chose to be targeted by all those eyes
And now, some of you think i'm a fool
I guess i am guilty, i'm only a man
But this world is imperfect too,
And that just has to do
I chose not to hear what the smart people said.
And instead played my cards like a fool
Every day took a chance to het caught in the fire,
These flames do not burn like i do
I wait in line to be hung by the neck,
Until everyone sees i'm right
I need to have my chains
Removed and hide here
While the spotlight's seeking me
Forget the world now, my love,
And live these days with me
As if the world wasn't ending
...cheers...
Masks removed we hide here
While the spotlight's seeking me
Forget the world now, my love,
And live these days with me
As if the world wasn't ending
Take me where i cannot hear
The people calling me
Pour whisky, brandy, vodka
Come and live this night with me
As if the world wasn't ending
11. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
Now i am crawling in (my crawling skin)
I can't wake up anymore (can't find the door)
I try to make a deal (with myself)
To avoid the blinding door (once again...)
The party's over, the flies are back,
Unexpected. Mean and bad.
The deepest wound, still no scab.
Full hd sci-fi scream,
The time is out, mind is clean, it's blank
I'm missing a little time
I found a truth beneath the lie
Buried deep, explain me why
The world is upside down
I do not know a soul in here,
But i can remember the faces,
And the truth is in their eyes
Everything's mixed with gray
Say g'nite and welcome the day
Cannot see hues,
So that is why the grays wear green?
I don't like this state of mind
I can see, but i can't find it,
Horrified to see what the following two days will bring
Can i trust my own eyes?
Is that me in disguise?
Is this bliss or am i insane?
Found the thin red line of madness
Far from the skyland mountain
I found a truth beneath the lie
Buried deep, explain me why
The world is upside down
I do not know a soul in here,
But i can remember the faces,
The truth is in their eyes
Don't really want to know
Don't want to go out there
I feel hypnotized
The truth is somewhere
Wake up, i only want to wake up,
Don't wanna fall asleep, but
I'm already dreaming
I feel my skin is peeling off.
What i've been concealing??
Something underneath
My crawling skin (my crawling skin)
I can't wake up anymore (not anymore)
I've seen how this will end... (oh it will end)
Don't want to soak anymore
The truth is out there,
Somewhere between two fairy tales,
Caught somewhere deep between someone's truth and a lie
Another really rainy morning, it's a perfect day
I'm too tired to be hypnotized now
It's all too real for me anyway
Wake up, i only want to wake up,
Don't wanna fall asleep, but
I'm already dreaming
I feel my skin is peeling off.
What i've been concealing??
Something underneath my crawling skin
12. EVERYTHING FADES TO GRAY
Tonight my life will lack it's meaning
One final step before we're seeing
For once i am happy my little friend
Cannot comprehend what we are seeing
No words are needed, only a gaze, embrace
Contact the living, remember the dead
There is always something to learn,
Repetition proves it's worth
Without those moments, we would not remember
It's not fair, it's not fair, there was time now
Kneeling down, take in the moment when
Everything becomes finally clear.
It's not fair to lose it,
And how... There was time now
But death is cheating us somehow
Come here now
Can't walk away, nothing to say
No need to feel so afraid,
Colors last a lifetime 'n fade to gray
It's not fair, it's not fair, there was time now
Kneeling down, take in the moment when
Everything becomes finally clear.
It's not fair to lose it,
And how... There was time now
But death is cheating us somehow
...and he's already here.
When it all ends
When everything fades to gray,
We dive into the darkness
Some things are needless to say
Some thing are needless to say,
We dive into the darkness
When everything fades to gray
13. IN THE DARK (BONUS)
I'm from where the magic is...
I give you what I cannot take away with me..
Have my sunlit day and moon...
I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking, how...
Can´t leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...
You come from where the fire is...
You give me what you could not burn the last time..
One sunless day and moon...
I want to be so close to you
to see whatever scars you carry
within your broken heart,
Mine´s your missing part...
Come with me where the magic is...
There's more than time we can share
We could join the sun and moon
If you want to...
be my lifeline for this lifetime
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever I'd like to see how
the walls around your heart will fall apart
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.
Let me take you where the magic is...
Back in time, remember the light
of the cold December moon...
I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking,
You can´t leave me now...
Stay with me, somehow...
Come with me where the magic is...
There is more than life that we can share
We could own the sun and moon
be my lifeline for this lifetime...
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever I'd like to see how
the walls around your heart will fall apart
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.
be my lifeline for this lifetime
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.
I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark
I'll take you where the magic is
I'll give you everything I only can offer
You can have my broken midnight moon
If you give me your broken heart
and I will give you something real and golden.
We can make this life the finest art...
I come from where the magic is...
I give you what I could take away with me..
Have a sunlit day and moon...
I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking, how...
Can´t leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...
I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark
13. NOTHING MORE (BONUS)
Day-break, I should have walked away
drowning, the past without a name
rising, my execution day
empty, like drops we fade away
life has now dealt me the final card
soon we are done and the hourglass is empty so now
there's nothing more to say...
all the regrets,all the mistakes have been washed away,
right now there's nothing to
save me, decisions made to last
somehow our moment, it has passed
finally, my last seconds decay
lifeless, your face I see again
soon we are done and the...
cast down these chains our story ends, in pain
it is farewell, what once was there is dead
soon we are done and the...
13. IN MY EYES YOU'RE A GIANT (BONUS)
In my eyes you´re a giant,
The keeper of all the keys,
Different but compliant
A God for someone like me
Learned to read what you´re thinking...
suffering every moment left alone...
Tamed the beast deep within me...
Sleep in peace friend, cause I am guarding...
When I´m not howling at the bright new moon
The burning flame within, my own kin, and
every night I hear something out there calling me
Reminding me, friend, to know, that I´m not your child...
I follow when you lead, and do what you command,
but there is something that is out of my hand
It´s my own nature, appetite, I am a creature of the night
I am howling at the bright new moon...
Bright new moon, brings the light in my life
One more day and you must let me go...
Here I am howling at the bright new moon
The burning flame within, my own kin, and
every night I heard something out here calling me
Reminding me, friend, to know, I´m not your child...
I am howling out there
at the bright new burning flame, within my heart
every night I hear something out there,
telling me I'm not your child
(Instrumental)
2. DEATHAURA
The premonition
Remember when i told you know my
Kin is different in some ways?
And how you should not fall in love
With someone like me, anyway
Between the lines, people see signs
When they feel the sear, every day's fear
And one night their torches
Find the girl without a name
And the one who has her
Love is no more safe
And until i get my peace i'm but a shade
The witch-hunt
The sun lit the white mountain's snow covered peaks,
There i see you, amongst the good people, suffering
"she is the one, the unwanted, decidedly so,
'Cause she makes our children cry.
It's a fact, she is exactly that!
A hardbringer of death from the world of witchcraft,
And she's feeding them cakes and her ale to this innocent boy,
And her magic brings dismay
Exposing the heathen
I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town
Come with me, father, i'm to expose a heathen
In my home town
No one's safe now
Young love's been forbidden
For five-fold kisses, my only love had to die
Envy
Your crops are all flourishing, so what's the catch?
I know what you are, the new evil unhatched
As sure as the dawn, they will hear what i know,
And recognize you, and you'll be cleansed too
The fear
For the good, trusting people in town,
In their fear stricken hearts,
Seeing skyclad's a sign like the deathaura,
Every night, so painful's the memory of love in the dark.
One wheel of the year ends their short lives in fear
I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town.
Come with me, oh, father the heathen is exposed.
The grudge
In the age of burning times, you saved my life
The blaze grew ever higher.
I was your cunning man... Hiding in the light,
Now your land shall go sour...
Your own fear will destroy everything
Envy consumes all, and "thou shall not
Though it hurts, i must tell you
I am truly the one
Behind it all
The curse
In the hands of time we all will die
The dead of night will devour your child...
The creation o' beliefs you've been fed
The fear, the unknown, the poison loved by death.
The flames
In the cold of the night air
Flames purify minds, where
Almost anyone could by the next...
Unless morning finds all of the somehow hexed
Endless inquisition
(Instrumental)
Together, today, for all eternity
I remember how you told me,
Your kin's different, on that sunny day?
You made me smile,'
Cause i was just about to say the same thing
So deeply entwined, love of a lifetime
But they paid someone to say their torment has a name
And after all these years we get to be together for all eternity
3. THE LAST AMAZING GRAYS
The mystery of death before us...
Soon every night can bring the light, and close my eyes.
Sometimes life in here is too limited
Sometimes we don't care at all.
Sometimes...
Time will change the familiar face.
Brightest colors fade to gray
The fear is real, one winter's day brings the clarity.
I feel the time is catching up with us
How many days until its hunger is satisfied?
Leaving the final golden days
We are the last amazing grays
Hoping the young will lead the pack now.
I can feel my heart is beating still
I can see you with my eyes, i still see.
But i can't run the way my children can
Can't accept the helping hand, leave me
You are the strong one, trust in me
You must lead instead of me, now
There's no time, don't hesitate
Or you will also find your fate.
I feel the time is catching up with us
How many days until its hunger is satisfied?
Leaving the final golden days
We are the last amazing grays
Hoping the young will lead the pack now.
In the eyes of every newborn, i see the future
Life is just a phase.
I close my eyes and see them all here beside me.
The last amazing grays
In the eyes of every newborn, i see the past times
A familiar face
I close my eyes and see them, waiting for me
Amongst the amazing grays
Mountain seems to befall this last time, marking the moment
I have found my place
I closed my eyes and joined them, guarding the young
Amongst the amazing grays
4. FLAG IN THE GROUND
In the days when lands were few, and man sometimes had no chance but sell his soul to his landlord to make a living...
In far and away country, they gave acres of land away for free, to all able to claim it...
Ships sailed across the great seas, fortunes were made and dreams shattered...
Sometimes couples were torn apart, for all they could Afford...was one ticket.
Leaving my life behind
My young love and the unborn
Only have a lock of her hair
And burning love inside
After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights,
The sails are lit by the lights of boston
And here we go
Off the ship! Towards the adventure, the one to define our lives.
Daily grind and a tiny room.
I got here safe, love.
I have an address, until spring, then i shall race for the land, hope to hear from you soon
Her letter reads
Please let me know everything's alright
Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight every night, when i'm turning in, my tears find me.
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me
Now that i have made the dollars we need for the dream.
The best horse i've ever seen, a carriage and everything i need...
I will make my way to the great unknown
Every moment i wish you were here with me now
Please let me know everything's alright
No, i'm not a stranger, among the people in here
Yet i have never felt so alone
At high noon the sound will boom, and i will start racing for the land we can call home.
I stuck my flag in the ground, screaming 'n shouting,
I've never felt so proud, love!
We are free from eternal serfdom!
I'm gonna bring you home, my light!
Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. Solo!
Five, four, three, two, together forever! Solo!
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
I am the land and the land is me
Freedom is everything and we are free
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
Every night, when i'm looking at the full moon rising
I hold you and know that we are free
5. BREATHING
I take my hat off, bow before the greatness
You're so much braver i give credit for
Somehow the grays create a harmony
And no color can add a flavor
I've started to feel like
Know the face, familiar stranger
I'm not a child, i feel misunderstood
I built a bridge, you use the tunnel... Now...
The rope we are pulling is slipping away from me
All this wasted time is killing me... And i've started to feel like
I can not control my life anymore
Feel a need to leave and breathe on my own
I remember all the broken songs of our life
Maybe one more wrong will make it all right...
I just really need to be alone now...
I can not control my life anymore
Feel a need to leave and breathe on my own
I remember all the broken songs of our life
Maybe one more wrong will make it all right...
I just really need to be alone now...
6. ZEROES
Dancing on the borderline
4-3-2-1
Hello, although i'm a static zero.
I'm fighting all your wars,
While you dwell in your hypocrisy
You think the world is fine,
When all the evil's overlined
Before you wake up this morning
Well, hello there, you're the local superhero?
Your stronghold's but a paper bag,
We suffer for your promised land
Excuse is really thin,
Hide your revealed achilles heel
Before a new brave morning
All you little superheroes,
Fall short without all them zeroes
A pie in the sky is your brave new world,
And so powerless are thy miracles
Ones, they walk before the rows of 0s,
And soon it dawns on them, how to make billions
Dream up a world, oh how powerless are thy miracles
I'm so tired to fight you
The sun is, oh, so desperate to set tonight,
Ashamed to light a lie
all you little superheroes,
fall short without all them zeroes
the pie in the sky's your brave new world
Your homestead's not yours much longer
These people win elections, empowered by you!
These wars are never ending, acceptance just mind-bending
It's a conspiracy and as always the end is here
We were born that day
This destiny wrote us a life we now waste away
Waste it away, do it today
My life is fine, so why would i care
Because it's not my ass, per se, on the line.
all you little superheroes
Dancing on the borderline
4-3-2-1-do it today!
7. THE DEAD SKIN
It's me i hate, not you at all
I am my own medicine,
Turned into a poison
I think i gave you a lot,
And not enough... I know
Tortured myself, same as you,
Without losing my sanity.
Where's my applause?
I see no reason to live in hell.
How can life make me feel so incomplete?
I had a weakness and my walls came down
My tears won't reach the ground,
Burn my new wound
I know i cannot feel regret for anything
If i was numb, i'd end this once and for all
But i feel the wound, still
I cannot face this day, my guards are down
I cannot love myself, weak, sad clown
I see myself, my fading color
I see no hope there where i always used to
I fear your words, the thing they mirror
Maybe that is all i am, just a reflection. Please help.
I see no reason to live in hell
When you smile, you make me feel incomplete
But it's all ending, the clock's rewinding
We don't mean anything to me. You think?
I killed this silence for us to make things right
The words are loaded.
Once connected,
One torso, one head
One solid reason, the pain
If love's the neck, kept us together, and apart
Now it's broken
There is no cast, no real salvation
When it is broken, it will stay that way
Believe me when i say this
I would not if i did not care
Tears don't mean anything
If we don't know when we're sorry
No one will win today we can't play this... This way.
We cannot soar and still stay on the ground
Don't wanna see me, hear me, hate me
Hate, hate, hate
Jealousy's a phantom,
Something what was never, ever meant to find me
But now its pale green eyes have destroyed everything
You know how it must hurt, and i know,
There is nothing you've done to deserve this.
Apology's a policy,
Sometimes it really has to be, it's kept me afloat thus far
This sho nuf's one nice
Loose noose, perfect times
Are we happy in this hell?
Is there someone who can measure
Whose pain is bigger?
It all has ended, the clock's rewinded.
We don't mean anything to me. You think?
I killed this silence for you to end the night
The worlds are loaded the wounds are open
Unprotected, one torso, no head
One valid reason, the life's suspended
If love's the neck that kept us together, and apart
Now it's broken
There in no cast, no real solution
When it is broken, it will stay that way
Believe me when i say this
I would not if i did no care
Who needs who, when and what the hell for?
Who wants to suffer and be hardcore?
And who's strong enough to pee off the dead skin
I cannot face this day, my guards are down.
8. JULIET
These are my final lines, i've lived all my nine lives,
My nights are over, cannot feel your heart anymore
I lived only through you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
I don not want to die,
But no more can i love you
Now hard is it to understand
My wish to die hand in hand?
This night's like a dream,
You will be the last thing i will see
I hold your head, close my eyes all i love finally dies
Drank the poison most foul with you
But why do you smile ?
Don't smile.
Don't you smile.
You're supposed to wither away with me, so, juliette
Please, don't smile
I'm paralyzed and you are still alive.
Life is but a long, sad game
Lifeless souls, avoiding shame
Two dead swans is all what we need
To pave the winding memory lane.
No hellos, no bad goodbyes
Wailing, distant, silent cries
You can live with my pain,
It's your own you cannot take?
You played the game and lost,
I wonder how you can,
Hold the cards for a dead man
The light and the clarity
Welcome change for the life in the darkness,
Sea of my sanity
Lost in the vanity
All i ever wanted to be lost in you,
My burden, the hatred
My own reality
Mirros and smoke
The final truth unfolds
Your reality
Mirrors my hopes,
Where you will need me
They never find us again once the trail has gone cold
They never find us again once the trail has gone cold
I'm a restless soul, i'll make the best ghost
All things good end into a...
Minute of silence!
- i get myself in line
One minute of silence!
- to face my own demise
One minute of silence!
- this is not what i signed for
One minute of silence,
- you double-crossing, filthy whore
I sit with someone in the dark
I'm so afraid to see it's me again
You had a change of hearts,
Now we're all getting hurt
Ladies and gentleman,
Welcome to my life again
Walk with me, every curve, every bend
This promenade that seems to come to an end
You know what you meant to me,
Empried the room in you life that i paid for
What i lost my sanity
I made a mess now I am here to clean
It is too late to regret anything tonight
After what has come to light
...you have played me for a fool, for all this time?
The story may rewrite itself after i'm gone
One more breath, the day will dawn
How hard is it to understand
My wish to die hand in hand?
These wounds stay open all night long,
You are the last thing i will see
I lived only by you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
My sole reason to die... For
There's no life without you
These are my final lines, i've used all my nine lives,
My life is over, cannot feel your heart anymore
I lived only by you,
My scar, my heart, my truth,
Have no reason to live,
I can't feel the love anymore
This is... The end... Why...?
You're closing my eyes...
9. NO DREAM CAN HEAL A BROKEN HEART
My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings
My one and only aim
I hear You breathe I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel Something on my lips i should not
one too many poisoned kisses
and i'm drowning in your deepest sea
i found my destination, what i'm here for
i'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, i lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And i'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something i'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleeping wishes
Is hidden where i cannot see
When i'm awake, i need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
"so repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek
Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lasts for a lifetime
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, i need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, i want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always, somehow
Goodbye love
10. AS IF THE WORLD WASN'T ENDING
Started a dangerous game that's not won by
The person who made the first move
Chose to be targeted by all those eyes
And now, some of you think i'm a fool
I guess i am guilty, i'm only a man
But this world is imperfect too,
And that just has to do
I chose not to hear what the smart people said.
And instead played my cards like a fool
Every day took a chance to het caught in the fire,
These flames do not burn like i do
I wait in line to be hung by the neck,
Until everyone sees i'm right
I need to have my chains
Removed and hide here
While the spotlight's seeking me
Forget the world now, my love,
And live these days with me
As if the world wasn't ending
...cheers...
Masks removed we hide here
While the spotlight's seeking me
Forget the world now, my love,
And live these days with me
As if the world wasn't ending
Take me where i cannot hear
The people calling me
Pour whisky, brandy, vodka
Come and live this night with me
As if the world wasn't ending
11. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
Now i am crawling in (my crawling skin)
I can't wake up anymore (can't find the door)
I try to make a deal (with myself)
To avoid the blinding door (once again...)
The party's over, the flies are back,
Unexpected. Mean and bad.
The deepest wound, still no scab.
Full hd sci-fi scream,
The time is out, mind is clean, it's blank
I'm missing a little time
I found a truth beneath the lie
Buried deep, explain me why
The world is upside down
I do not know a soul in here,
But i can remember the faces,
And the truth is in their eyes
Everything's mixed with gray
Say g'nite and welcome the day
Cannot see hues,
So that is why the grays wear green?
I don't like this state of mind
I can see, but i can't find it,
Horrified to see what the following two days will bring
Can i trust my own eyes?
Is that me in disguise?
Is this bliss or am i insane?
Found the thin red line of madness
Far from the skyland mountain
I found a truth beneath the lie
Buried deep, explain me why
The world is upside down
I do not know a soul in here,
But i can remember the faces,
The truth is in their eyes
Don't really want to know
Don't want to go out there
I feel hypnotized
The truth is somewhere
Wake up, i only want to wake up,
Don't wanna fall asleep, but
I'm already dreaming
I feel my skin is peeling off.
What i've been concealing??
Something underneath
My crawling skin (my crawling skin)
I can't wake up anymore (not anymore)
I've seen how this will end... (oh it will end)
Don't want to soak anymore
The truth is out there,
Somewhere between two fairy tales,
Caught somewhere deep between someone's truth and a lie
Another really rainy morning, it's a perfect day
I'm too tired to be hypnotized now
It's all too real for me anyway
Wake up, i only want to wake up,
Don't wanna fall asleep, but
I'm already dreaming
I feel my skin is peeling off.
What i've been concealing??
Something underneath my crawling skin
12. EVERYTHING FADES TO GRAY
Tonight my life will lack it's meaning
One final step before we're seeing
For once i am happy my little friend
Cannot comprehend what we are seeing
No words are needed, only a gaze, embrace
Contact the living, remember the dead
There is always something to learn,
Repetition proves it's worth
Without those moments, we would not remember
It's not fair, it's not fair, there was time now
Kneeling down, take in the moment when
Everything becomes finally clear.
It's not fair to lose it,
And how... There was time now
But death is cheating us somehow
Come here now
Can't walk away, nothing to say
No need to feel so afraid,
Colors last a lifetime 'n fade to gray
It's not fair, it's not fair, there was time now
Kneeling down, take in the moment when
Everything becomes finally clear.
It's not fair to lose it,
And how... There was time now
But death is cheating us somehow
...and he's already here.
When it all ends
When everything fades to gray,
We dive into the darkness
Some things are needless to say
Some thing are needless to say,
We dive into the darkness
When everything fades to gray
13. IN THE DARK (BONUS)
I'm from where the magic is...
I give you what I cannot take away with me..
Have my sunlit day and moon...
I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking, how...
Can´t leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...
You come from where the fire is...
You give me what you could not burn the last time..
One sunless day and moon...
I want to be so close to you
to see whatever scars you carry
within your broken heart,
Mine´s your missing part...
Come with me where the magic is...
There's more than time we can share
We could join the sun and moon
If you want to...
be my lifeline for this lifetime
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever I'd like to see how
the walls around your heart will fall apart
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.
Let me take you where the magic is...
Back in time, remember the light
of the cold December moon...
I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking,
You can´t leave me now...
Stay with me, somehow...
Come with me where the magic is...
There is more than life that we can share
We could own the sun and moon
be my lifeline for this lifetime...
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever I'd like to see how
the walls around your heart will fall apart
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.
be my lifeline for this lifetime
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
this one lifetime.
I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark
I'll take you where the magic is
I'll give you everything I only can offer
You can have my broken midnight moon
If you give me your broken heart
and I will give you something real and golden.
We can make this life the finest art...
I come from where the magic is...
I give you what I could take away with me..
Have a sunlit day and moon...
I want to have a silent kiss
I want to make you mine, I´m thinking, how...
Can´t leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...
I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark
13. NOTHING MORE (BONUS)
Day-break, I should have walked away
drowning, the past without a name
rising, my execution day
empty, like drops we fade away
life has now dealt me the final card
soon we are done and the hourglass is empty so now
there's nothing more to say...
all the regrets,all the mistakes have been washed away,
right now there's nothing to
save me, decisions made to last
somehow our moment, it has passed
finally, my last seconds decay
lifeless, your face I see again
soon we are done and the...
cast down these chains our story ends, in pain
it is farewell, what once was there is dead
soon we are done and the...
13. IN MY EYES YOU'RE A GIANT (BONUS)
In my eyes you´re a giant,
The keeper of all the keys,
Different but compliant
A God for someone like me
Learned to read what you´re thinking...
suffering every moment left alone...
Tamed the beast deep within me...
Sleep in peace friend, cause I am guarding...
When I´m not howling at the bright new moon
The burning flame within, my own kin, and
every night I hear something out there calling me
Reminding me, friend, to know, that I´m not your child...
I follow when you lead, and do what you command,
but there is something that is out of my hand
It´s my own nature, appetite, I am a creature of the night
I am howling at the bright new moon...
Bright new moon, brings the light in my life
One more day and you must let me go...
Here I am howling at the bright new moon
The burning flame within, my own kin, and
every night I heard something out here calling me
Reminding me, friend, to know, I´m not your child...
I am howling out there
at the bright new burning flame, within my heart
every night I hear something out there,
telling me I'm not your child
