My Favourite Lyrics

Kent

Den Döda Vinkeln

Jag var länge ensam, enda barnet
ett monster underst i en hembyggd våningssäng
och på håll såg jag ljusen dö i dimman
precis när mörkret tändes upp igen

Och jag såg dig springa över skaren
i jakten på din sagolika vy
du lärde mig att fullständigt försvinna
in i dina tankar, i ditt huvud står jag fri

Ge mig en vinterdrog
ge mig allt du har
kom nu jag är kroniskt låg
bara mörkret hörs
i ditt öga var en storm jag såg
som sommarsnö
i döda vinkeln ser jag allt du gör

Där kommer dom, jag ser dom mellan tränden
snälla kan du hjälpa mig att fly
deras ögon är som mareld över världen
jag kryper där i askan, fågel fenix född som ny

Ge mig en vinterdrog
ge mig allt du har
kom nu jag är kroniskt låg
bara mörkret hörs
i ditt öga var en storm jag såg
blåsa sommarsnö
i döda vinkeln ser jag allt du gör

Ge mig en vinterdrog
ge mig sommarsnö
kom nu jag är kroniskt låg
bara mörkret hörs
i ditt öga dansar stormar små
med det är du som för
i döda vinkeln ser jag allt du gör

Järnspöken

Dom brände ner grönan
och skolan står där
ensam nu
cykelställen står tomma än
trots att loven är slut

Dom fäller kastanjeträn i alléen
framför skolgården
jag rör mig tyst
hör inte hemma här
jag är vålnaden

Jag vet inte varför
men kanske är det därför
jag minns det så väl
dina stora ögon
dina bruna händer
dina vassa knän

Var det dig jag såg
som en skugga ur mina drömmar
var det dig jag såg
dig jag svor att aldrig glömma

Dom gräver i parken
och frosten i marken
blir ett försvar
vid hörnet av kyrkan
där järnvägen går
har dom spärrat av

Någon ligger i gräset
med frostiga kläder
så stilla och vit
blåljusen blinkar
tänk vad man kan göra
med en liten kniv
jag vet inte varför
men jag återvänder alltid hit
det var väl
något vi gjorde
något vi sa här
som förändrade mitt liv

Var det dig jag såg
som en skugga ur mina drömmar
var det dig jag såg
dig jag svor att aldrig glömma
var det dig jag såg
som ett spöke från döda drömmar
var det dig jag såg
har jag äntligen lyckats glömma?

400 Slag

Domen föll på en morgonflight till London
tysta steg på väg mot dig
domen föll trots att du alltid använt kondom
med lien på svaj väntar din gamle vän

Och som ni lekte när ni var barn
du stod givakt med din rygg rak och tog
fyrahundra slag

Sömnen kom och du som låg så rätt i tiden
domen föll som tårar mot din skärm
sömnen kom som en åsikt högervriden
men mot dollar & yen blir döden lätt ett skämt

Och som ni lekte när ni var barn
du förlorade ditt krig
du står ensam kvar
och ingen kommer till ditt försvar
så du står givakt med din rygg rak och tar
fyrahundra slag

Rosor & Palmblad

Väntan, alltid denna väntan
från vitt till grått till svart
detta år var svart
och liljorna faller från ett fönster
i Västerås i natt
jag hör ditt skratt

Över plymerna, palmbladen och korsen
som skallrar där i vinden
som lät som hesa röster
från dom som gör reklamen
jagar zombies upp ur graven
ge mig nåt som känns
längtan, alltid denna längtan
härifrån långt bort
långt långt bort
och rosorna fäller alla kronbladen igen
som grät dom blod
för att livet är så kort

Och männinskor i de låsta tysta husen
gläntar på gardinen
och stirrar ut på gatan
med ögon som är rädda
för allting som kan hända
fast det redan hänt

Delerium

Innocente

You can't see my eyes
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
Hear me when I say
I don't mind at all

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear, drops to the ground
In silence, when my love is near.
Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did you fall? When was it over?

It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and then my lonesome song begins
It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song begins

Darling, when did you cry? I couldn't hear you
Darling when? When did you cry? I couldn't hear you

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I suppose it is the price of falling in love

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger, not a ghost
Of the quiet of a storm approaching
That i fear the most
It's the pain that i hear coming

The slightest crystal tear drops to the ground
In silence when my love is near
It's marching through my door now the stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song will end

Darling when did we fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did we fall? When was it over?

I suppose it is the price of falling in love.
I fear that it's the price of falling in love.

Lacrimosa

Einsamkeit

Ich schreibe meine eigene Geschichte
Und lebe nur noch nebenbei
Ich bin der einzige der mich bemerkt
Und all die Stimmen die zu mir sprechen
Sind nur die Echos meiner Sehnsucht
Machtlos begegne ich der Einsamkeit
Und machtlos zeige ich ihr mein Gesicht

Zerfallen in tausend Stücke
Krieche ich in tausend Richtungen
Und halte deine Hand nicht fest genug
In falsche Träume mich geflüchtet
Auf besetzte Plätze mich gesetzt
Suchte ich die Herrlichkeit der Zweisamkeit
Und fand nur die lächerliche Einsamkeit

Bresso

Meine letzte Zigarette klebt in meiner Lunge
Meine Worte zittern Dir entgegen
Gedrängt mit Hoffnung und Angst
Wie versteinert siehst du mich nun sitzen
Ausgeliebt - leer und krank
Ausgeblutet - ausgesaugt
Doch deine Liebe fliesst durch meine Adern
Ich bin nicht tot - nein - ich bin nicht tot
Noch immer höre ich deine Stimme zu mir sprechen
Noch immer spüre ich deine Lippen auf meiner Haut
Noch immer brennt in mir dein Licht
Noch immer liebe ich dich
Noch immer will ich dich erleben
Will von deinem Geist mich nähren
Will in dir mich ganz verlieren
All deine Schönheit all dein Glanz
Die Strafe dich zu lieben - Die Strafe meiner Liebe
Jetzt frag ich dich - wo bist du ?
Wo bist du jetzt ?
Hoffnung in meiner Haut zerquetscht
Verzweiflung in mein Herz geschlossen
Liebe in mir verspürt
Lügen und zarte Worte von dir gehört
Meine Lebensuhr verstellt - zerschlagen
Die Erinnerung verdammt
Und dich stets geliebt
Noch immer höre ich deine Stimme zu mir sprechen
Noch immer spüre ich deine Lippen auf meiner Haut
Noch immer brennt in mir dein Licht
Noch immer liebe ich dich
Bitte komm zurück
Bitte...

Am ende stehen wir zwei

Keine Kompromisse, keine stillen Tränen,

keine Küsse deren Geschmack mich zu Dir führt

Keine Wiederholung, keine Täuschung, keine
schmerzliche Berührung aus der Vergangenheit

Nur die Hoffnung einer zweiten Chance, das ist alles was uns bleibt

Eine zweite Chance für dich und mich, eine zweite Chance für uns zwei

Du brauchst jetzt nichts zu sagen, brauchst mich nicht zu lieben

Ich habe Hoffnung für uns beide, denn am Ende stehen wir zwei

Die Musik dringt von weit her an mich fremd

Ich erkenne dich nicht mehr

Deine Liebe bleibt mir heilig, dein Leben ist entflohen ein Abschied ohne Ende,

ein Kreuzgang in dein Herz. Eine Liebe ohne Grenzen, eine Wärme ohne Licht

So liegst du kalt und regungslos und wärmst noch immer mein Herz

Meine Hoffnung soll mich leiten durch die Tage ohne Dich

und die Liebe soll mich tragen wenn der Schmerz die Hoffnung bricht.

Theatre of Tragedy

... a Distance there is ...

Come in out of the rain thou sayest - but thou ne'er step'st aside;
And I am trapp'd -
A distance there is...
None, save me and the bodkin - pitter-patter on the roof:
Behold! - 'tis not the rain; thence me it has to be -
I will not drink thy vintage wine, my dear;
Thou hast heed'd that I am of innocence, yet thou let'st thy lass into peril
Thou let'st me be parched;
My heart is of frailty, my pale skin is hued damask.
When thou thy tears hast hidden, "Come back!", thou sayest -
There I soon am to be - but how am I to run when my bones, my heart!
Thou hast me bereaft! -
But run thou sayest; I run -
And there and then I behold that a time will come when I again dead will be.
Thou tell'st me to leave without delay -
I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands;
Lo! - the shadows, the sky - descending;
So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together with dusk.
In my mind in which is this event,
But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?!
After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths -
The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me,
Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world:
All the beatiful moments shared, deliberatlely push'd aside -
...a distance there is...

Lorelei

Ferie dearest, was it loe soothfast or a façade;
A serenade siren'd to lure - Zounds! not to court me?
A menad, yet the sweetest colleen -
Certes didst thou me unveil meekly life pristine.

Lorelei,
A poet of tragedies, scribe I lauds to Death,
Yet who the hell was I to dare?
Lorelei,
Canst thou not see thou to me needful art?
Canst thou not see the loss of loe painful is?

Dedally didst thou perform the tragic pasquinade,
For all years a damndest and driegh'd accolade -
Caus'd for all eyes mazed to behold a mêlee;
In the midst did I swainly cast thee my bouquet:
The one and sole faggot that feedeth the fire,
Bellow'd bidingly by my heart's quailing quire.

Lorelei,
A poet of tragedies, scribe I lauds to Death,
Yet who the hell was I to dare?
Lorelei,
Canst thou not see thou to me needful art?
Canst thou not see the loss of loe painful is?

Perchance author I thee this ikon'd apologue for aught,
Doth the wecht burthen thee?, then bethink thine afterthought:
'Tween Aether and 'Nether art thou the peerless phoenix -
Prithee, darlingmost! - court me rather than the peevish prolix

Angelique

Thou dawdl'd not bringing me fro Aether to Nether,
Still, duringly cling I on to this heather -
Dew-scented blossom; thou wast pristine,
The sweven of thee ne'er will I cede, my colleen.
Drat this creature of memories ill,
Foolhardy and fey I may be, yet him I shall quell.

'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
Daunt - sinsyne thence,
Ta'en as a dint, Angelique?

Perforce and grinningly shall I maim in the vie -
Alas dastard! - hanging by the noose die.

'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
Daunt - sinsyne thence,
Ta'en as a dint, Angelique?

'Come not wont to this uncouth Devil!,
Lest to a Devil thou wilt translate...my Angel.

'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
Daunt - sinsyne thence,
Ta'en as a dint, Angelique?

Aoede

Parch'd of words, parch'd of lauds,
Lorn and tyned fro my wame -
'Seech I more perforce indeed:
Lap I of thee: Thou art want.

With dulcet gust thine floret,
Which I yet would not do -
Pray I thee for thine avail -
Lave me in it; I want more!

For my loe, not be adust.

Come see as the wind: Chant -
I let thee come in -
Come see as the wind, Aoede.

As of lote - upon thee dote,
Lowing 'tis, true forsooth,
Tisn't a tongue, nay merely mote,
Thou art grandly mae than couth':
Eft and e'er doth it eke -
I am what I do behold.

For my loe, not be adust.

Come see as the wind: Chant -
I let thee come in -
Come see as the wind, Aoede.

Nine while nine

And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
Killing time but it's
Better than living in what will come and I've
Still got some of your letters with me and I
Thought sometimes or I read too much
And I think you know let's
Drink to the dead lying under the water and the
Cost of the blood on the driven snow and the
Lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the window pane
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train.....

She said do you remember a time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here she said
When days had no beginning
While days had no end when
Shadows grew no longer I
Knew no other friend but you
Were wild
You were wild.....

Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the window pane and I've
Lost all sense of the world outside but I
Can't forget so I call your name and I'm
Looking for a life for me and I'm
Looking for a life for you and I'm
Talking to myself again and it's
So damn cold it's just not true and I'm
Walking through the rain
Trying to hold on waiting for the train and I'm
Only looking for what you want but it's
Lonely here and I think you knew and I'm
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train.....

Some kind of Stranger

And yes I believe in what we had
But words got in the way
And only yesterday
As I was leaving
Lord knows I've tried to say but I've
Heard a million conversations
Going where they've been before
Seen the way that careful lingers
Undecided at the door

Chorus:
And all I know for sure
All I know for real
Is knowing doesn't mean so much
When placed against the feeling
The heat inside
When bodies meet
When fingers touch

All my words are secondhand and
Useless in the face of this
Rationale and rhyme and reason
Pale beside a single kiss
And I've heard so many things I
Fail to understand at all
I'd settle anytime for
Unknown footsteps
In the hall outside

Chorus

Because the world is cruel and
Promises are broken
Don't try to tell me
Anything don't try to tell me
You'll be true to me you know the
Real truth is never spoken

And I know the world is cold but
If you hold on tight to what you
Find you might not mind too much though
Even this must pass away and
Memories may last for years but
Names are just for souvenirs
Some kind of angel let me
Look into your eyes

Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason or surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong
And I don't care what you're called
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long long time
Before I hear another love song

Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside

Alice

Alice pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers crawl and
Crush the petals on the floor

Alice in her party dress
She thanks you kindly
So serene
She needs you like she needs her tranqs
To tell her that the world is clean
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Pass the crystal spread the Tarot
In illusion comfort lies
The safest way the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise

Alice in her party dressed to kill
She the thanks you turns away
She needs you like she needs her pills
To tell her that the world's okay
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Alice
Don't give it away

Marian

In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....

I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the 
Grave...
Marian 

Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me

I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the 
Grave...
Marian 

Was ich kann und was ich konnte
Weiss ich gar nicht mehr 
Gib mir wieder etwas schones 
Zieh mich aus dem meer
Ich hore dich rufen Marian
Kannst du mich schreien horen
Ich bin hier allien
Ich hore dich rufen Marian
Ohne diene hilfe verliere ich mich in diessem ort

Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me

The Cure

Lullaby

on candystripe legs spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly! a movement in the corner of the room!
and there is nothing I can do when I
realise with freight that the spiderman is having
me for dinner tonight

quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
closer now closer to the foot of the bed 
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies 
his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes 
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious
boy don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
 for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"


and I feel like I'm being eaten by a thousand
million shivering furry holes and I  know that 
in the morning I will wake up in the shivering cold
and the spiderman is always hungry...

A Forest

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
If you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees

Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again

Charlotte Sometimes

All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes
Into the night
With Charlotte sometimes

Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But Charlotte sometimes did not cry
The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed so close
So close
So many
Other names

Sometimes I'm dreaming
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Charlotte Sometimes
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Expressionless the trance
Sometimes I'm dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes I'm dreaming
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming
She hopes to open shadowed eyes
On a different world
Come to me 
Scared princess
Charlotte sometimes

On that bleak track
(See the sun is gone again)
The tears were pouring down her face
She was crying and crying for a girl
Who died so many years before...

Sometimes I dream
Where all the people dance
Sometimes I dream
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I dream
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming
There are so many different names
Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I dream...

Charlotte sometimes crying for herself
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself
But it's always with love
With so much love it looks like
Everything else
Of Charlotte sometimes
So far away
Glass sealed and pretty
Charlotte sometimes

Pictures of You

I've been looking so long at these pictures of
you that I almost beleive that they're real 
I'vebeen living so long with my pictures of you
that I almost believe that the pictures are all I can
feel

Temembering you standing quiet in the rain 
as I ran to your heart to be near 
and we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close 
how I always held close in your fear 
Remembering you running soft through the night 
you were bigger and brigther than the snow and
screamed at the make-beleive 
screamed at the sky

and you finally found all your courage to
let it all go

Remembering you fallen into my arms 
crying for the death of your heart 
you were stone white so delicate lost in the cold 
you were always so lost in the dark 
Remembering you how you used to be 
slow drowned you were angels so much more than everything 
oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly 
open my eyes but i never see anything

if only I had thought of the right words 
I could have hold on to your heart 
if only I'd thought of the right words 
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you 
but I never hold on to your heart 
looking so long for the words to be true 
but always just breaking apart my pictures of you

There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
 than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
 than to never feel the breaking apart 
all my pictures of you

Joy Division

Love will tear us apart

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

You cry out in your sleep, all my feelings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Diary of Dreams

Butterfly: Dance!

Is this your true world definition?
you cannot help, where help is not wanted!
You cannot escape from your reality
Give me more of your salvation

Hello? ...are you listening to me?
Hello? ...why don't you speak a word to me?

I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past

Let me feel your recognition
I can taste the way you look
I guess it was the right decision!
My thoughts are my bible, that's by what I live

You live your life between these worlds
Color twists around your body
You and I got lost in rainbows
Our dreams were never made to last

She and her Darkness

My heart weights minimum a tone
An army's feet pounding on my head
Maybe I'll wake up one day to notice
that all my life was just a dream...

And maybe I'll be better off without you
You left me here with all my thoughts
I'd write a zillion words or walk a million miles
I'd sleep on broken glass just not to lose your smiles

I travel for you around the world
Collecting moments, o how absurd
To bring you beauty, to bring you joy
I wish I'd be a little boy

Where is that silence you primised me?
Why is that distance so close to me?
Why is your violence still hurting me?
Why are your eyes avoiding me?

Let me say thank you for all that you have given me.
Thank you for everything you've done.
Forgive me for saying one last thing:
I miss you and I hope you hear this song!

I travel for you around the world
Collecting moments, o how absurd
To bring you beauty, to bring you joy
I wish I'd be a little boy

I'm dying for you, can't you see?
I'm lying for you to be free!
I hunger for you, 'cause I can't eat!
I'd vanish for you in defeat!

Nightwish

Wanderlust

I want to see where the sirens sing
Hear how the wolves howl
Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific

Dance in the fields of coral
Be blinded by the white
Discover the deepest jungle

I want to find The Secret Path
A bird delivered into my heart, so

It's not the end
Not the kingdom come
It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever forever
Wanderlust

I want to love by the Blue Lagoon
Kiss under the waning moon
Straying, claiming my place in this mortal coil

Riding the dolphins
Asking the mountains
Dreaming Alaska
The Earth can have but Earth

I want to find The Secret Path
A bird delivered into my heart, so

It's not the end
Not the kingdom come
It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever forever
Wanderlust

Look into my eyes and see the wanderer
See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder

The Crüxshadows

Walk away

In this fading image
we'll carve our destiny
sometimes life is a cruel friend
sometimes that's what we need

I'll hold my eyes when the light comes in
I'll sell my silence for a song
now I won't die if you walk away
but I may not live

Now I watch as the rain comes down
to purify this pain
when mountains crumble and stars collide
I am what remains

There are lessons that sadness
can only teach
there are things that we must learn
now I won't die if you walk away
but I may not live

Orphean Wing

The doubt that madness breeds
feeds this eternity
perhaps the promises were not intended
to endure
The scars that life has carved
fell deepest on your heart
and the strength to overcome
has left you waiting here.

But though the phantoms of this place
want to steal away your grace
I'll sleep beside you through the cold
i will not leave you here
And in this silence I can hear
all the fury and the fear
but i promise you my love
I will not leave you here
For I will bury you
Where they bury me

But the emptiness is filled
and the hatred reconciled
with a daily struggle
to forget.
Beyond frustration and contempt
is the pain of heaven spent
by those ignorant and cold;
at your expense.

But though the phantoms of this place
want to steal away your grace
I'll sleep beside you through the cold
i will not leave you here
And in this silence I can hear
all the fury and the fear
but i promise you my love
I will not leave you here
For I will bury you
Where they bury me

I see, I see, I see we move with the water
I feel, I feel, I feel this darkness receding
I see, I see, I see we flow like the ocean
I feel, I feel, oh god I don't think I'm breathing

Even Angels fall

Serial Killer

In a face a view, through eyes this world collides.
I am voiceless in my angst and nothing can take us back
to innocence.
Short, sharp, bloodlust reality.
In despair I reach for night,
in water purity reigns to be resolute.
As a land we clean our minds, reap our belongings,
sow our angers and our strengths.
All to obsessed by weakness
we have brought ourselves to meaninglessness.
So easy to control, bring to harm.
A gathering of fools unjustified, on a mountain.
I collect my thoughts
and I rise above all that despises me.
Comprehend the ways of man
and under a flag we salute or burn
there is blood on both shores.
With hardened mind I travelled,
with hardened heart I conquered
a freedom so ironic, so despicable, so hypocritical.

There is anger resolute.
Rears its familiar head on the TV screen.
In a dozen bags a life was placed.
In a breath he smiled and waved.
Five minutes at a time the power held true.
Without consternation our laws are lost.
Lost to butchers, lost to child killers, lost to narcotic ritual.
Another tag, another headline.
Another smiling face shall stay 10 winters long forever.
And where are the angels to guard?
Where is the God of men and children?
He is stalking the minds of dark poor souls.
I know it's right and I know it's time for freedom:
to kill another and to kill another and to kill another child
of the flag till there are none left.
another and to kill another and to kill another...

Legion

Enveloped in a sentiment, 

A sound that rushes over me. 

Engage an impulse to pretend I have a faith as pure. 

Not forgetting what it means to dream. 

Indulging everything. 

Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength 

Of those I yearn to be. 

Cheers and tribute greet the saviours. 

Reckless thoughts survive. 

Anachronistic and impulsive. 

And what will happen? Will I dream?

 I am too scared to close my eyes.

 For a second please hold me. 

None can change in me these things that I believe. 

But I don't know what happens now.

 I am too scared to close my eyes

Darkangel

In your dream you see me clear
I have no restraint, no fear
powerless I watched from faces I'd assumed.
My purpose set. My will defined.
Caress the air. Embrace the skies.
Escape the sorrow and restraint of mortal cities.
Give me time I will be clear. Given time you'll understand.
What posseses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn. I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.
So many years I stood among
the thoughts and tears of those i served.
Among my own I was alone through my own doing.
All the years i walked unknown behind the faces I assumed.
Powerless to clear your mind of what you'd suffered.
They fall again.
They fall again.
Give me time I will be clear.
Given time you'll understand
What posseses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.
There is no faith in which to hide.
Even truth is filled with lies.
Doubting angels fall to walk among the living.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.
I'd only come here seeking peace.
I'd only come here seeking me.
It seems I came to leave.

Way to fall

Son
You've got a way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Son
You'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't show

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Son
You've got a way to kill
They're picking on you still
But they don't know

Son
You'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they'll take mine

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer
Long

Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer

Son
You've got to wait to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

Coming down

If you don't mind
Could we not fight?
I see you're close woman
In the night
I'm sober
Still alive

Waste your days
On your own
Getting drunk
getting stoned
I'm sober
Still alone

Must I always take a back seat?
Must I always be your clown?
Did you ever really love me?
Were you always coming down?

See your face
See your eyes
Shouldn't have left
Shouldn't have lied
I'm sober
Spirit's died

Must I always take a back seat?
Must I always be your clown?
Did you ever really love me?
Were you always coming down?

Must I always take a back seat?
Must I always be your clown?
Did you ever really love me?
Were you always coming down?

Indefinetely

Everyday in every way I'm falling
Everything that everyone says turns me on/off
Shine a light on me
So that everyone can see
That I want to stay here
Indefinitely

Time exists but just on your wrists
So don't panic
Moments last and lifetimes are lost in a day
So wind your watches down, please
Cos there is no time to lose
And I'm going to stay here
Indefinitely
And I'm going to stay here
Indefinitely
And I want to stay here
So just let me be

Now I can see the light
Circling around your reflection
And I'm going to stay here
Indefinitely
And I'm going to stay here
So just let me be
Indefinitely
