[Sehr-i Metal]

Album : Hall Of The Mountain King


Behind the wheel just went along
I'm tired of hearing the same old song
Look
I rule the night
No end in sight
I think I'm going insane, oh yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Got to escape
Can't take any more
I grabbed my suitcase
And kicked down the door
Yeah

I've got blood shot eyes
Hypnotized
I feel no pain
Oh yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Twenty four hours ago
Yeah




A Little Too Far
Album : Streets

Do you remember
Look at me
And all the things we'd said we'd be
We'd beat the house
We'd push the odds
We'd take it all we had the cards

With years to burn
And years to trash
Living lies based on flash
But somehow reaching for the stars
I think we went a bit too far

Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far

When everything you touch turns gold
Can weigh you down
Can make you old
When metal doesn't ring the same
Reaction from inside your brain
And all those years we offered up
To gods who couldn't get enough
And though we still stay up all night
The mornings aren't quite as bright

Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far

And all those things we thought we'd learned
As we watched our bridges burn
While standing in the afterglow
I guess we gave them quite a show

When John Wayne caught the last train out
And Spock and Kirk have had enough
And no one's left to beam me up
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far




Agony And Ecstasy
Album : Streets


Listen to me
From deep down inside
I'm the madness that just
Will not die
With no regrets
Of what I'll do to you

Before the night is over
You'll be crawling to me

You call me when you're weak
For me you'll lie and cheat
You'll never get away
With me you're here to stay
Listen D.T. can't you see
Stay with me and you'll be free
Even as I soothe your soul
I tear you down and make you old
You just keep on coming back
To buy another nickel sack
Twelve o'clock time to greet
Agony and ecstasy
Ecstasy
I'm the cry from within
From when your day begins
You'll follow me like sheep
This shepherd never sleeps

So tell me what's your price
Came skate on my ice
My blades they never rust
I'm asking you to trust

Listen now the time is right
And what a way to start the night
Spend your money endlessly
Another grand insanity
So D.T. here is the plan
I'll make your brain a rubber band
Time to stretch it out and see
Agony and Ecstasy
Ecstasy
Feel my whisper through your haze of pain
Feel the calling of a neon vein
I'm the name upon your soul's marquee
I am agony and ecstasy

And just remember
If you ever need me I'm here




All That I Bleed
Album : Edge Of Thorns


Someone
Got themselves a letter
In the mail the other day
It's already worn and tattered
And I guess
It gives away

All the things we keep inside
All the things that really matter
The face puts on its best disguise
And all is well
Until the heart
Betrays

She knows
As she reads the letter
That things were bound to stray
Winds blow
She pulls her coat tighter
And the letter flies away

With all the things she keeps inside
All the things that really matter
The face puts on its best disguise
And all is well
Until the heart betrays

Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed

And I'll fly away
Yeah I'll fly away
Yeah I'll fly away
Watch me

Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed

I bleed




Alone You Breathe
Album : Handful Of Rain


You were never one for waiting
Still I always thought you'd wait for me
Have you from your dream awakened
And from where you are what do you see

Which of us is now in exile
Which in need of amnesty
Are you now but an illusion
In my mind alone you breathe

You believed in things that I will never know
You were out there drowning but it never showed
ŒTill inside a rain swept night you just let go

You're thrown it all away
And now we'll never see
The ending of the play
The grand design
The final line
And what was meant to be

In the dark a distant runner
Now has disappeared into the night
Leaving us to stand and wonder
Staring from this end into your life

You believed in things that I will never know
You were out there drowning but it never showed
ŒTill inside a rain swept night you just let go

You've thrown it all away
And now we'll never see
The ending of the play
The grand design
The final line
And what was meant to be

And if this is all illusion
Nothing more than pure delusion
Clinging to a fading fantasy

Like Icarus who heeds the calling
Of a sun but now is falling
As the feathers of his life fall free
Can you see
See

Tomorrow
And after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand here
Believing
That in the dark
There is a clue

Perhaps inside
This midnight sky
Perhaps tomorrow's new born eyes
Or then again
We'll never know
And after all
This was the show

What am I to do

Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back

What am I to do

Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back

What am I to do

Standing on a dream
Isn't what it seems
Could we then reclaim a dream refused
Knowing what we know
Could we let it go
Realizing that all the years are used

Tomorrow and after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand here believing
That in the dark there is a clue
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams

Tomorrow and after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand here believing
That in the dark there is a clue




Another Way
Album : The Wake Of Magellan


Times were changing
Eighteen years and fading
Ain't a lot of time left to be a star

On an island

All alone and dying

Walk upon the water
But you won't get far

Dreams and visions
Tied into decisions
Saw you on a postcard
From the other side

Hope and glitter

Never feeling bitter

Walk upon the water

Just to be your bride

Don't tell me now
That there is nothing more
There is a how
Just like there is a door
And if there's not to be another way
You tell me why

Why

Why

Stay and follow
If the words are hollow
Gotta' go along
Cause it's all you got

Each day earn them
Turn around and burn them
Think your fitting in
But you hope you're not

Neatly drowning

Every drink your downing
If you drink enough

You'll forget the game

Each illusion

Wrapped in absolution
Live your life in weekends
But it's not the same

Don't tell me now
That there is nothing more
There is a how
Just like there is a door
And if there's not to be another way
You tell me why

Why

Why

Why

And as he stood there cursing fate
For making life so hard
It seemed that fate had listened
For she dealt another card

For arriving in the harbour
Silhouetted against the sky
Was a ship bound for america
And her name, 'maersk dubai'

And so when no one else was looking
And the ship was safely moored
He waited for his moment
Then he quickly snuck on board

Then he found himself a hiding place
Between two crates of iron ware
And as for distant america
In his mind he was already there

But what he was unaware of
As they sailed away from shore
Was that there were other stowaways
And he was one of four

And meanwhile the old sailor
Had walked right past that pier
While still conversing with the ocean
On the strengths of his idea

And as he walked he came upon
A youth he thought asleep
But the ocean said that he was not
And brushed a wave against his feet

And when the young man didn't stir
But lay quite still instead
The sailor took a closer look
And saw that he was dead

And all around the body
Was something he had never seen
Little cellophane packages
Marked 'blackjack guillotine'

And so he asked the ocean
What these strange packets were

And she answered they held the heroin

That in his blood the youth had stirred

And it is certainly a sign
That things have gotten out of hand
When one can purchase ones own death
And choose it by the brand




Anymore
Album : The Wake Of Magellan


It never did, it never will
But I'll be out there waiting still

You're moving fast but leaving tracks
A compromise to your attacks
There comes a time you want to take it back
Back

Back

Back
But can't think of nothing I
Can't think of nothing I
Can't think of nothing I
Lack

Junkie

Credit card
Gotta vein
Goes for yards
Hypnotised
You decide
Every neuron's changing its view
Changing its view

Gentlemen

Summarize
Every lie
Well disguised
Don't forget

Neuron death
In the mind awaiting its cue
Awaiting its cue

And so we found it very mod
The worshiping of lesser gods
And lie they do
For lie they must
For they know it's the lie we trust

And so we're out there laying tracks
Wherever there's a vein to pack
There comes a time you want to take it back
Back
Back
Back
Back
But I can't think of nothing
I can't think of nothing
I can't think of nothing
I lack

The sailor asked how so young a man
Could have fallen into such a trap
And the ocean said the first time was with a friend
Who now can't take it back

It was a friendly gesture
As they all claim at the time
When that friend or kindly stranger
Free of charge gave him his first line

To harm this boy they're sure to say
Was never our intent
And we were as shocked as anyone
With just how far he went

He never thought it dangerous
As he stuck it in his vein
That a needle that had seemed so short

Could reach straight into his brain

It was upon this very beach
That his first line was tried
And who'd have thought way back then
That here is where he'd die

If these words seem repetitious
And the subject beaten dead
The reason that I still say it
Is it still needs to be said




Awaken
Album : Poets And Madmen


And he looks and he laughs at the sight
And he asks what has happened to me
And i blame it all on the lights
But he smiles and says i'm mistaken

And there is no use in disguising
What the eye can so clearly see
That i've spent my whole life denying
That the man in the mirror is me

Give me one second chance
Give me one final dance
Give me one magic line
Take a minute off my time

Give me one final bow
If the moment allows
While he stares at the scars
Saying just who you are
Just who you are
Just who you are

In a child like illusion of life
He imagined the things yet to be
But they all disappeared on this night
Carry on among the foresaken

For there is no use in denying
What the eye can so clearly see
That one day i too will be dying
And the man in the mirror agrees

Give me one second chance
Give me one final dance
Give me one magic line
Take a minute off my time

Give me one final bow
If the moment allows
While he stares at the scars
Saying just who you are
Just who you are
Just who you are
Just who you ...

Back To Reason
Album : Poets And Madmen


Time
Standing all alone
I bled for you
I wanted to
Each drop my own

Slowly they depart
But fall in vain
Like desert rain
And still they fall on and on and on

Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason i once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view

So
Drifting through the dark
The sympathy
Of night's mercy
Inside my heart
Is your life the same
Do ghosts cry tears
Do they feel years
As time just goes on and on and on

Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason i once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view

Years come around
Men can be found
Following orders
Years come around
Planning is sound
Promises made
Years come around
Tears on the ground
Blood stains the borders
Leaders abound
Chances are down
No one's been saved

Give me one reason
For this dark treason
Every chance unsaid
Turn around
All dead
What went wrong

[various international news reports]

Give me one reason
For this dark treason
Every chance unsaid
Turn around
All dead
What went wrong

Drink until you drown
What else can i say
When you're falling down
You seek the ground
It's never far away

Can you live your life
Completely in a fall
Until you're found
Well underground
Your marker very small

As my world it keeps on spinning round

Have to get away
Have to ease the pain
I embrace the morphine child
And pump it in my veins

Burning through my heart
Fills in every hole
Makes my mind so blissful numb
And replaces my soul

Every moment drags me further
Down down down down down down ...

Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason i once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view
The only reason i have left ...
Is you




Believe
Album : Streets


Don't believe in talk show stars
Never follow trends if they turn on your friends
Just to be sure you know who your friends are

And if you're running blind
On a refueled mind
Better watch the time
And careful you don't go too far

Never burn the bridges before you
If you've burned the bridges behind
And never burn the one that you're walking upon
Or you're sure to hit the water in time

Don't believe in expectations
Don't believe in shooting stars
And if you make a stand on a dead empty hand
Never let them see your cards

And if you're running blind
On a refueled mind
Better watch the time
And careful you don't go too far




Beyond The Doors Of The Dark
Album : Hall Of The Mountain King


Listen to me children of the night
Beyond the doors of darkness you will find
A thousand worlds for you to see here
Take my hand and follow me, oh

Beyond the doors of the dark
Demon in your heart
Scream and thrash your head
Turn around now you're dead
Under the darkened haze
Lost here in glaze
Are you looking to be free
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside

Another day's begun
Under the moon and sun
Circle has been drawn
Life has been prolonged
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside

Oh, beyond the doors of the dark yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah

It's time to meet your fate
Heaven can wait
All the walls are closing in
Things crawl on your skin
He's grabbing down at you
There's nothing you can do
No place to run and hide

A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside

He wants to take your soul
You know you're dreaming
Call your precious little life under my knife
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die

Never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
No no




Blackjack Guillotine
Album : The Wake Of Magellan


And so he asked the ocean
What these strange packets were

And she answered they held the heroin

That in his blood the youth had stirred

And it is certainly a sign
That things have gotten out of hand
When one can purchase ones own death
And choose it by the brand




By The Grace Of The Witch
Album : The Dungeons Are Calling


alone in the darkness
lonely and scared
you're in fear of your life
deadly witch's crystal
sensing your fears
my spell is cast on you
my little dear

do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch
do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch

look into my eyes
i'm poisoning you
i watch as you
grovel in my stew
i'm bastardized
cursed by sin
come on down to hell
watch the flames begin

i've got evil on my mind
my power so divine
my spells cannot be broke
until i hang the rope
i am not alive or dead
i'm a spirit dressed in red
i come from the grave
your soul i plan to take

do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch
do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch

look into my eyes
i'm poisoning you
i watch as you
grovel in my stew
i'm bastardized
cursed by sin
come on down to hell
watch the flames begin

do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch
do you feel you're captured by the grace of the witch




Can You Hear Me Now?
Album : Streets


If I closed my eyes
Would it all subside
To an echo in the night
Of a distant fading light
Then a stranger's silhouette
A burning cigarette
And somewhere in the haze
A passage through the maze

And can you hear me now
Or are there just too many doors
Between then and now
For me to ever reach on through
And pull you back somehow
But that can't happen anymore
Still still in the night
I think I hear you calling

I have walked this stage
As the music played
They knew every word
But they never heard
For they never changed
It's all very strange
As I'm standing here
Contemplating years

And can you hear me now
Or are there just too many doors
Between then and now
For me to ever reach on through
And pull you back somehow
But that don't happen anymore
Still in the dark
I'd swear I hear you calling




Castles Burning
Album : Handful Of Rain


In the dark and bleeding
With the shadows seething
There he stands alone

Fools and faith conspire
Questions of desire
That they never owned

Kings without their armor
Men without their honor
Spit out desecration
Pieces of a nation
Buried in the ground
Screams without a sound
Burn the castle down

In the end the children cried
That the jackal surely lied
When he said please listen all
Do not look behind these walls

Coffins drowned in roses
And the war he chose is
Fought inside the mind
Death becomes compelling
When the soul's for selling
And the world is blind

In the maze he wanders
Looks about and ponders
Shadows mock and taunt him
And the ghosts that haunt him
Chain him to the ground
Screams without a sound
Burn the castle down

In the end the children cried
That the jackal surely lied
When said please listen all
Do not look behind these walls

And does the pendulum toll
Against the side of he soul
When if feels the final moment is near

Do you rage against the dark
Try to re-write the part
Turn around and face what you fear
What you fear

He's seen it all before
Close your eyes and close the door
And the dreams that nights embrace
Slowly leave behind a trace




Chance
Album : Handful Of Rain


Pull that string they gotta dance

Parallel addiction is a double crucifixion
When your always out there feeding your head
Always channel surfing cause your brain it isn't working
When you're looking at that moment just remember

Don't look
Don't stray
Don't talk it over
No time
No way
Listen to me I'm cold sober
You're just out there taunting Cobras

Hey you
Who's gonna warn you
When it's something you don't want to know
Don't think
It won't deform you
Twist your mind then let it go

Boy you ain't seen nothin' yet
It's a long train of regret
Puppets get no second chance
Pull that strings they gotta dance

Welcome to the prison
Let me tell ya what you're missing
I've been coming here for nearly a year
Out there was my corner
ŒTill I came in for a water
Mixed with Whiskey
And a chaser of sideway glances

Don't look
Don't stray
Don't talk it over
No time
No way
Listen to me I'm cold sober
You're just out there taunting Cobras




City Beneath The Surface
Album : The Dungeons Are Calling


hi- welcome to hell
you are all here
for this where you must dwell
sinners and cheats
sit here with Satan
and have all your spirits meet

oh city beneath the surface above
how you survive on evil and blood
you breathers in this space
you never can leave this place

die-we all must die
how will you face it
when you bend to your knees and cry
burn-like witches burn
when will you sinners believe
that it's your time to learn?

oh city beneath the surface above
how you survive on evil and blood
you breathers in this space
you never can leave this place

you breathers in this space
you never can leave this place

punished for the way that you lived
raping and stealing
but never one thought to give
here forever-not a trail or a trace
total illusions of tales
of the unholy place




Commissar
Album : Poets And Madmen


Do you see commissar
The night is darker
Do you think commissar
Their dreams are starker
Do you hear commissar
The night is breathing
Could it be commissar
We should be leaving
Now before the curtain
Does comes crashing down

Do you hear commissar
The night is silent
Do you think commissar
It is defiance
Do you see commissar
The mob has faces
Could it be commissar
The dark embraces
All as darkness will
And in that dark we'll drown

Cities, towns
We've torn them down
And all we've found
Are relics in a cemetery

But never fear
I will stay near
And to the dark
I will be your emissary

Knights on horseback
Bishops pacing
All are losing ground

The pawn is now a queen
He's moved across the board unseen
The move is down

I believe
That we've intrigued for far too long
But now i think the plot has ended

A quick retreat
Into the street
Admit defeat
And hope our moves will be defended

Across their throats
The blade does wander
They die without a sound

Who'd have thought we'd meet
As bones beneath the dragons feet
The wall is down




Complaint In The System
Album : The Wake Of Magellan


Welcome to the system
Here's the situation
It's a bit confusing
Welcome to the maze
Everybody sees what

Everybody wants to
Everyone avoids
Every other gaze

I will be your mentor
I'll be your advisor
I'll do what I do
And you will look away
Forgetting what you see
Has always been much wiser
But someone in the back is missing what I say

Got a complaint in the system
Got a complaint in the system

Welcome to the park now
We supply amusements
Everybody rides
But everybody pays

What good's causing problems
When no one's complaining
What good is a martyr
If no one is saved

Everybody knows us
Everybody sees us

Every single child

Can tell you where we are

Every politician
Says that we are leaving
But in all this time

We haven't gone too far

Got a complaint in the system
Got a complaint in the system

You should understand it
It's not underhanded
It's really quite simple you see

The right and the wrong of it
Long and the short of it
Black and the white of it
Forget the sight of it
It is so much cheaper

To be no one's keeper

Trust me

In the dead of the night
You can stab with a knife
But it's rare you'll ever get anywhere

So we laugh in delight
Till you turn on a light
And we scatter for the darkness
Or the corners filled with blackness
And we're
There
There

Where
Where
There

Then the sailor turned around
And walked back along the beach
Towards the boat anchored offshore
For his decision had been reached

He then sat down on the sand
Thinking of all he & #146; d seen that day
And then decided in his mind
It was time to sail away

For the world that I was born to

Clearly no longer exists
And the feeling I should leave it
I can no longer resist

And as he sat there thinking
A mother and her child walked by
And the old sailor's hourglass
Had caught the young boy's eye

So he walked up to the stranger
As only a young child will do
To ask if he could see the hourglass
But then he noticed something new

That the old man he was crying
Though he tried to wipe his eyes
So the child forgot the hourglass
And instead asked the old man why

But before the sailor could answer
The mother said to leave the man alone
And taking the child by the hand
She gently led him home

And as they left the beach

The sand recorded both their tracks
Until they reached the final dune
When the young child he looked back

Then he saw the sailor standing up
The glass falling from his hand
When it hit the ground the top broke off
And spilled out all its sand

Then the sailor walked up to the sea
And waded to the boat
But instead of pulling up the anchor
He simply cut the rope

And the last thing that the child saw
As they walked out of sight
Was the sailor and his sailboat
Sailing out into the night

[Sehr-i Metal]

Conversation Piece
Album : Edge Of Thorns


I haven't thought about you for a while
It seemed so far away
I keep your pictures hidden in a file
Of favorite one act plays

Like pieces of myself
Cut off in desperation
As offerings to thee
I keep them on a shelf
They're good for conversation
Over a cup of tea

I put it all down in a letter once
A letter I don't send
It made me feel much better at the time
I thought it helped me mend

The pieces of myself
Cut off in desperation
As offerings to thee
I keep them on a shelf
They're good for conversation
Over a cup of tea




Crying For Love
Album : Fight For The Rock


Never thought you'd go away
Did not believe the things you'd say
Now you're gone
I don't understand why you'd leave for some distant land
Could you ever feel the same
I'm calling out your name
I still feel the pain

Crying, crying for your love
I'm crying, crying for your love

Still I look all over for you
There's nothing left that I can do, yeah babe
You're on the streets
You know it's wrong
It's not where a woman belongs
Better run while you can
I'm calling out your name
I still feel the pain

Crying, crying for your love
I'm crying, crying for your love

Why'd you lead me to the door
Can I see you anymore

Crying, crying for your love
I'm crying, crying for your love




Damien
Album : Edge Of Thorns


In this city of raw emotion
What's this message you bring to me
In my world of blind devotion
You were there
But I could never see

Damien
Is your heart harder
What inside your head
Damien
Does the night go farther
When all your years are bled

In my world I have watched and wondered
Safely here from behind these walls
And your tears could they mean nothing
If from this disgrace
No one sees them fall

Damien
Is your heart harder
What inside your head
Damien
Is the dark your father
When all your years are bled

Sometimes late at night
When I'm there in bed
I lie there wondering
Where do you lay your head
And do you say your prayers any more?
Do you say your prayers?

Damien
Is your heart harder
Do you still feel pain
Damien
Does the night go farther
When you're sleeping in the rain

In the dark I have heard a calling
Broken wings that beg to fly
Is there time or is it too late
Is the cut flower no longer alive

Damien
Is your heart harder
What inside your head
Damien
Does the night go farther
When all your years are bled




Day After Day
Album : Fight For The Rock


I remember finding out about you
Every day my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember holding you while you sleep
Everyday I feel the tears that you'd weep
Looking out from my lonely gloom
Day after day
Bring it home, baby make it soon
I give my love to you

Looking out of my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember finding out about you
Everyday my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby make it soon
I give my love to you

Day after day Day after day Day after day




Dead Winter Dead
Album : Dead Winter Dead


Feel the rush, feel the rush in the back of your head
'Breathe it in, breathe it in,' isn't that what they said
As you stood in the night 'neath the glow of the fires?
Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it reach through the night
Feel the heat, feel the heat as you bask in its light
As the puppets hang upon their wires

[chorus]
I've lost my way, kneel down and pray
It all decays, it takes me down, down, down
Like the minister said, like the minister said
Where this all has led...dead winter dead

Can you hear what I hear in the back of your mind
As you stand on the stage when they tell you it's time
To read words from a past you can't remember?
Gotta keep what you have, tell me what is it for
If it made sense my friend well then not anymore
Every dream I'm told has its December

[chorus]
I've lost my way, kneel down and pray
It all decays, it takes me down, down, down
Like the minister said, like the minister said
Where this all has led...dead winter dead

[lead break]

Degrees Of Sanity
Album : Edge Of Thorns


And so I sit here in the dark
You made the rules I played the part
I never rushed or pushed my fate
When time was tight I knew to wait
And circumstance
So well disguised
Within a gathering of lies
And in the dark I lie awake
So I can watch you drive your stake

What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in your sights

And in the dark it all unwinds
I pray for change
The kiss of time
And in my thoughts
I sit and dwell
The labyrinth's there
I know it well

What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in your sights

And all the things you never heard
While in my mind I search for words
But time was lost
The curtain fell
I take my bows and wish you well

What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in your sights




Devastation
Album : Hall Of The Mountain King


Waiting for disaster
Blackness in the night
I roam the world
To hear the cry
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
2000 brings
The untimely end
Of all living things

The Four Horsemen have started their ride
Can you see them in the sky
Glaring down at the ground
Smile on their face
As they commence
The end of the human race

Total devastation
Prepare yourself for death
This world's insane

Start your fields afire
Watching them burn
Tomorrow will be
Another world's turn
To win is the end
To be a part of judgment day
We should have listened
To what Christ had to say

Total devastation
Prepare yourself for death
This world's insane

What do you say

We all have our chances of living in peace
Now I'm afraid you're in too deep
What can you do when you're a fool
It all goes this way
You should have listened
To what Christ had to say

Total devastation
Prepare yourself to die
This world's insane

No no no no
This world's insane
Oh yeah
No no no no
Stop it




Doesn't Matter Anyway
Album : Dead Winter Dead


It don't matter what you said
In the mind of someone, you are now dead
What makes it bad is they're living next door
So you'll need some weapons? That's what I'm here for!
Seems you got us a war

AK-47, Tomcat, F-11 hardly ever used, tell me what am I bid?
You on the back wall, this is it last call
Better buy 'em now or you'll wish that you did
You'll wish that you did

[chorus]
I know, you know, in this world you gotta pay
It's all for sale, what's your side? You couldn't say...
No...doesn't matter anyway

Claymore land mines, anti-personnel kind
Good for lining borders and they're easy to hide
Bury 'em in the ground, only one way they're found
Another fine product we deliver with pride
Swing a deal on the side

M-1's, ammo too - Stinger missiles got a few
Better get 'em now, while we got 'em in store
Good for a last stand, straight out of Afghanistan
If you never use 'em, you can save 'em till your next civil war
Cause that's what they're for

[chorus]
I know, you know, in this world you gotta pay
It's all for sale, what's your side? You couldn't say...
Hmmm, doesn't matter anyway

[solo]

Whoa, yeah!

[chorus]
I know, you know, in this world you gotta pay
It's all for sale, what's your side? You couldn't say...
No...doesn't matter anyway

[laugh]

Ow!

[lead break]

No!
Doesn't matter anyway
Doesn't matter anyway
No! No! No! No! No! Ow!

[chorus]
I know, you know, in this world you gotta pay
It's all for sale, what's your side? You couldn't say...
Aaaaah...doesn't matter anyway




Drive
Album : Poets And Madmen


Wheels keep turning
Blind desires
Core ambition
Never tires

Got an engine
Got intentions
No dissensions
Nothing to hide

Gotta' mission
Street munitions

Any road block
I believe
And i believe
And i believe
And i believe
I'll run it

You'll know i'll run it

Road side tyrants
Revolution
Speed is silent
Absolution

Got reactions
Got attractions
Each infraction
We're gonna' die

Got redemption
Fools intentions

Any road block
I believe
And i believe
And i believe
And i believe
I'll run it




Edge Of Thorns
Album : Edge Of Thorns


An offering of reasons
We put them all in play
A covering of treasons
That one by one we let slip away

A solitary dancer
So lost upon her stage

I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore

A study made from winter
Of summers long ago
And dreams that used to glitter
Safely now hidden under snow

And so we end the chapter
And let the stage lights fade

I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore





Fight For The Rock
Album : Fight For The Rock


Warriors of the night
You're here in force tonight
Stand up, raise your fist 'cause you believe
You will never fade away
Rock is here to stay
That's why you're gathered here tonight
Pledge allegiance to the rock
Together you are strong

Fight for the rock
You know you better fight for the rock
Fight for the rock 'n roll

Stand up, be counted child
Don't slip away
Don't ever let it get you down, no
Don't live your life in frustration
Get rock dedication

That's why you're gathered here tonight.

Piercing sound the thunder clouds explode into the night.

Fight for the rock
You know you better fight for the rock
Fight for the rock 'n roll

Warriors of the fight soldiers of the night
Stand up, raise your fist because you believe
We will never fade away
Rock is here to stay.
Let the torches light the sky

Fight for the rock
You know you better fight for the rock
Fight for the rock 'n roll

Fight for the rock
You know you better fight for the rock
Fight for the rock 'n roll




Follow Me
Album : Edge Of Thorns


I really want to know
What you had in store
I couldn't really tell
Perhaps was just as well
I came here with a dream
And I just had to see
If my dream would soar
I knocked on every door

His whole life was written
Written there inside
His new weekly bible
The modern T.V. Guide
Every night he stares back at the screen

A man only sees what he wants to see
When he's in his mind
Where he is what he wants to be
Living in a world where he's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night child
and follow me

Don't need no super heroes
Don't need no movie stars
Don't need no politicians
In big black shiny cars
Don't need no cowboys
Smokin' Marlboro cigarettes

A man only sees what he wants to see
When he's in his mind
Where he is what he wants to be
Living in a world where he's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night
And follow
Me

Once was a broken hero
The kind that we all know
The kind that hides inside us
The kind we never show
The kind we say that could never be me

His whole life was written
Written there inside
His new weekly bible
The modern T.V. Guide
Stare back at that screen

A man only see what he wants to see




Fountain Of Youth
Album : Power Of The Night


Do you suffer
From the fears of growing old
Do you wonder
What might happen to your soul

There is a magic place
That just might solve your case
And it's just a mystery to the mind

The fountain of youth
That's where we might find the truth
It's gonna put your
Head in a rush
And the science is working on us

Ponce DeLeon
In the search for the gold
Indian tales
Never growing old
By the walls and the springs
Hear a voice of yesterday sing
It's just a mystery to the mind, yeah

The fountain of youth
That's where we might find the truth
It's gonna put your
Head in a rush
And the science is working on us

It is part of the power
Power of the night
It's where the sun beats down on the ?
As they're trying to get it right
In tales a magic place
I saw the vision of a face
It solved the mysteries in my mind
Yeah

The fountain of youth
That's where we might find the truth
It's gonna put your
Head in a rush
And the science is working on us

[Sehr-i Metal]

Ghost In The Ruins
Album : Streets


Got a limousine
I wanna show it
Future's looking good
I'll probably blow it
Had some parents once
But you'd never know it
Bank roll oversize
So what if they stole it

But who am I foolin'
I'm the king of the ruins

But I'm doin' well tonight
I got dreams to sell tonight

Got to belong
Try to hang on
Got to belong

Ghost in the ruins
I'm runnin' the street scene
Ghost in the ruins
Burnin' like gasoline
Ghost in the ruins
I'm takin' you in deep
East Side West Side playin' for keeps

See the runaway there on the corner
Just a throw away but somebody's daughter
Had a pretty face so somebody bought her
Sellin' her soul away so put in your order

She knows what she's doin'
She's a ghost in the ruins
She's doin' it well tonight
Got dreams to sell tonight
She wants to belong
Knows what to do
She's got to hang on
Ghost in the ruins
I'm running the street scene
Ghost in the ruins
Burning like gasoline
Ghost in the ruins
I'm takin' you in deep
East Side West Side
Playin' for keeps

I know
I know you know
I know
I know you know
I know
I know you know
I don't know anymore
I'm tellin' you
I don't know anymore
I'm tellin' you
I don't know anymore




Gutter Ballet
Album : Gutter Ballet


Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise
Sirens screaming in the heat
Neon cuts the eye
As the jester sighs
At the world beneath his feet

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light

Balanced on their knives
Little parts of lives
Such a strange reality
Kill the unicorn
Just to have its horn
Soon he's just a fantasy

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light

The jester takes his bows
Slips into the crowd
As the actors fade away
Another death to mourn
Another child is born
Another chapter in the play

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light




Hall Of The Mountain King
Album : Hall Of The Mountain King


Far away
In a land caught between
Time and space
Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah

His deep
Dark eyes
Keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the Mountain King calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge(?) here but I was forever on the run

Madness reigns
(my friends)
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah





Handful Of Rain
Album : Handful Of Rain


The night is growing dark
From somewhere deep within
It shelters like an ark
That always takes you in

The barmaid walks on over
And pours another round
For a lost soul at the corner
Who prays he's never found

And the mind goes numb
Until it's feeling no pain
And the soul cries out
For a handful of rain

Wash your women
In your Whiskey
When your future's
In the past
And your staring
Up at heaven
From the bottom
Of a glass
And you need some insulation
From the years you've
Had and lost
And you feel the perspiration
As you're adding up the cost

And the night rolls on
Like a slow moving train
And the soul cries out

There's a land beyond the living
There's a land beyond the dead
If it's true that God's forgiving
Of the lives that we had led
In the distance there's a thunder
And the air is thick and warm
And the patrons watch with wonder
The approaching of the storm

And the night rolls on
Like a slow moving train
And the soul cries out
For a handful of rain

There's an old man in the corner
And he's smoking all the time
An the smoke is drifting upward and it's
Twisting in my
Twisting in my
Mind
In my mind

The whiskey's getting deeper
And I use it like a moat
There's a blues man in the distance and he's
Lost inside his
Note
His note

The night is growing dark
From somewhere deep within
It shelters like an ark
That always takes you in

And the night rolls on
Like a slow moving train
And the soul cries out
For an handful of rain




Hard For Love

He Carves His Stone
Album : Edge Of Thorns


Among the images of dear departed
Here with memories so closely guarded
There's an old man standing all alone

As he waits among the unforgiven
Here among the souls no longer living
Lost in chains of sin still un-atoned

He carves his stone

Well a man's got to do what a man's got to do
But I'll never give my soul to you
No fallen angel's prophecy
Will ever take hold of the man you see

So here I stand all alone
With chisel in hand I work my stone
And leave a message for all to see
And contemplate mortality

And carve that stone

And on that final night
You know I dream of you
And in a flash of light
I carve that stone right through
Yeah I carved that stone right through




Heal My Soul
Album : Streets


I've been waiting
Long forgotten
Shipwrecked on
A distant shore
Am I drifting
No more wanted
Floating outward
Evermore

All the dreams
That I've harbored
In the labyrinths
Of my soul

Gone forever
Not discarded
Only sleeping
Till they're whole

In the graveyard
Of my heart now
Sleep the years
That I've long sold

For their markers
Is there nothing
Only ghost
I can not hold

Father hear me
I am tired
Shall I waken
In thy home

Hold me closer
I am trying
Sweet Lord Jesus
Heal my soul




Holocaust
Album : Sirens


what will 2000 bring?
the war of a billion things
when darkness seizes the lords
and darkness sends his judgement sword
they march through the battle fields
start the destruction wheels
a scream of terror through the night
the armies do their final fight

holocaust
final loss
holocaust

what will the end bring
to my life?
are you poisoned by?
are you for the night?
are you by the night?

holocaust
final loss
holocaust

listen to what i say
we are coming upon the day
when toxic gas fills the air
and life on earth can't
be found anywhere
you run, but where can you hide?
from the shelters i hear you cry
the bombs bursting in air
God help me i'm so scared!

holocaust
final loss
holocaust

what will the end bring
to my life?
are you poisoned by?
are you for the night?
are you by the night?

holocaust
final loss
holocaust




Hounds
Album : Gutter Ballet


Sun sets on the moon
The cry of the hounds live forevermore
Stalking the night
They roam the countryside till morning's light

Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hung you down
Hunt you down

They run wild and free
Across the fields and valleys of their native land
Nature's beasts derranged
Beyond belief no one understands

Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hung you down
Hunt you down

Can you hear them in the night
They got you in their sight

Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down




Hyde
Album : Fight For The Rock


A solitude of horror in his hours off guard
Nature took her hideous revenge
Out of the black abyss came
the creeping madness that was his other self

Hyde, Hyde

A good man to evil
From the potion on the table
Sampled by mistake
But now it's far too late
A cause for alarm
He can do you harm,
Man into beast Prepares for his feast

Hyde,Hyde

Stalking the neon city
Standing in the shadow's
Crimes of wrong nature on the twisted mind
Black satin cape
Eyes of insane fire
Lurking in the darkness
A killer on permanent hire

For some he's but a tale
For others just a legend
Madness, myth and magic
Worth a warning mention
The change has taken place
Running from mankind
He may be after you
In his other state of mind

Standing in the shadows
Stalking the neon city
Crimes of wrong nature on the twisted mind

So if you care to wander
In a chemical adventure
It might be a mistake
The one you shouldn't make.




I Am
Album : Dead Winter Dead


I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
If over his little plot he might be king
And he finds his present world a little boring

There's no land that is so small that it cannot divide
So come, I'll draw the line and you just pick your side
Ignoring anyone who gives a warning

[chorus]
For I am the answer you seek, the dream in your sleep
You never wanted to awaken
I have the plan that won't fail, a crime without trail
And all I really need right now is you!

[laugh]

I see a little man, thinking that he might need more
And so his eyes are drifting to the house next door
He wonders if his neighbors might be leaving

So he makes a little offer that they'll understand
There is no point in letting things get out of hand
For no one wants to see their widows grieving

[chorus]
For I am the answer you seek, the dream in your sleep
You never wanted to awaken
I have the plan that won't fail, a crime without trail
And all I really need is you!

[laugh]

[middle 8]

I am the word without deeds, the lie that exceeds
For lies are always most impatient
I am the guide for the lost, who never counts cost
And all I really need right now is you!
All I really need right now is you!
All I really need right now is you!
All I really need right now is you!
I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
All I really need right now is you!
I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
All I really need right now is you!
I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
All I really need right now is you!
I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
All I really need right now is you!
I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
All I really need right now is you!
I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
All I really need right now is you!
You! You! You! You! You!




I Seek Power
Album : Poets And Madmen


As the steam from the street starts to rise
The gutter whispers
That the moon like a child has arrived
The dark has missed her

And the light that she lends is a guide
Among her shadows
Like the ghost from the past that survive

And you ask me now
What is my intent
Here among the ruins
Cloaked in false pretence
And how do i belong

I seek power
Where the power remains
I seek power
In the back of your brain

How will you see me
If you don't know where i hide
How will you bleed me
If i am somewhere inside

In the ashes of empires lost
A distant warning
On the danger of ignoring cost
and children mourning
As the memories cloud in our mind
The past can glitter
And so it has been designed

I know every lie
That the mind invents
Though they're well disguised
And cloaked in innocence
And how do i belong

I seek power
Where the power remains
I seek power
Like the kiss of cocaine
I seek power
As the darkness descends
I seek power
And i'll have it again

I seek power
Where the power remains
I seek power
Like the kiss of cocaine
I seek power
When it's not always wise
I seek power
For the power survives




If I Go Away
Album : Streets


Somewhere on that long empty road
We all stand lone
Searching for clues
From our different views

In the dark I call out your name
It echoes in vain
Over again
In an empty room

[Chorus]

And if I go away
What would still remain of me
The ghost within your eyes
The whisper in your sighs
You see
Believe
And I'm always there

Staring down a long empty hall
Pictures on walls
All with your name
But it's not the same

Searching for a chord I can't hear
Been searching for years
It's somewhere inside
But it's well disguised

And if I go away
What would still remain of me
The ghost within your eyes
The whisper in your sighs
You see
Believe
And I'm always there

[Sehr-i Metal]

Jesus Saves
Album : Streets


Jesus was a talker
Out of place New Yorker
Hung out on the boulevard
Sellin' nickel candies
Saving all his quarters
Bought himself a cheap guitar
Started playing' bars
The kids came in their cars
You'd hear them shouting at the stage

[Chorus]

Jesus saves
Jesus saves

Jesus started changin'
Things got really strange
He saw his tee shirts everywhere
Started missing shows
The band came down to blows
But Jesus He no longer cared

Things got out of hand
And so he quit the band
But still the critics they would rave

Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Her him cut through the night
On your late night radio waves

So the dice were cast
Today became the past
And Jesus He just disappeared
Headed for New York
Or so his label thought
And there he gave away the years

Last seen drinking wine
Beneath a flashing sign
Promising salvation to strays

Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Her Him cut through the night
On your late night radio waves




Lady In Disguise
Album : Fight For The Rock


She's not what she seems
Just a vision in my dreams
I wonder why
Face to face she appears quite strange
Never ever got her name
I'm a fool inside

Her eyes cried lady in disguise
Lady in disguise

I knew from the moment I saw her face
To the edge of the world I would chase her again
And when I'm out walking the town
There's never a doubt that she'll be around with another guy

Her eyes sighed, lady in disguise
Lady in disguise

I was captured from the start
Bodies touching heart to heart
I was holding her for long
Then I woke and she was gone
Then a voice called from the night
I'm still into the night

I sat up in my bed
Sweat was running off my head
This must have been a dream
It took me a while, then I realized
I still could feel her crystal eyes haunting me

I died, lady in disguise
Lady in disguise

Lady in disguise
Why, why




Mentally Yours
Album : Gutter Ballet


Timmy went out to play
With the friends he made
Why did they send him away
He drove his mommy mad
His daddy he ran
They didn't understand
Now he gazes his cold nights through
Reliving all of the things he's do
If he only had another chance
If that was all he had

His tension life
He beats the wife
Doused the cat with gasoline
He's rather try
The other side
He just has to get away
That's when it all began
Timmy lost his mind
Was just a matter of time
Before he went crazy

Mentally yours [8 times]

Running wild
Cause that's his style
Can't be held by any cage
Crossed the line
The final time
Cause tonight he takes his stage

Mentally yours [8 times]




Lights Out
Album : Edge Of Thorns


Squirmin', like a live wire
Vaporizing hard tire
Gonna take her down
Yeah I'm really gonna let this motor run

No brakes can't stop
In a ditch to the top
Just another junkie
Looking for a rush

Lights out
Runnin' 'gainst the devil
Shouldn't gamble with your soul
Lights out
Tables lookin' level
And you know you got to roll

Look (yeah look)
Yeah she really makes your blood cook
Got you in a corner
Where you're doing things you never have done

You (yeah you)
Yeah she's got you like a big fool
Keeps you in a collar
Till it's time to watch you run

Lights out
Runnin' 'gainst the devil
Shouldn't gamble with your soul
Lights out
Never on the level
Still you know you've gotta roll




Miles Away
Album : Edge Of Thorns

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And a cool, cool rain comes down
On a world burned by the sun
And the moon arises like a child
And the moment is undone
And the stars never say what they see
As the moon flirts with shadows it makes
Through the fallen trees
Some would wait for the morning light
But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe
In the arms of night

Let the darkness roll in
Let it wipe the light away
In the distance
Always calling
Morpheus
He beckons play

Still the morning is pre-ordained
But I believe light is the source of all of our pain
It reveals our smallest sins
But dark covers all and will always take you

Armed and gunning
I've been running
Always just before the day
In the distance
Day is dawning
But I'm already miles away

In the night there's wonder
Always there for you to see
In the light of morning
Visions fade
And dreams can flee

With the darkness the night forgives
Covers our scars and lets
The lost souls live
And the morning's a distant fear
But if we move fast they'll never find us

Armed and gunning
I've been running
Through a world that's in decay
Let them thunder stare and wonder
Cause I'm already miles away

And the rain comes down




New York City Don't Mean Nothing
Album : Streets

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been here since eighty-one
That's a long time
And I've seen
All there is here to see

Had a space on Astor place
Had it all once
Now there streets
Are my reality

You see
New York City
Don't mean nothing
Just a good place when you're running
Light that cut so bright they make you bleed

Neon children live their lives there
Mad magicians tinsel nightmares
Still you know I'm never gonna leave

Never sleep alone on the subways
Never walk alone on the tracks
Never take a ride to the edge of your mind
Not unless you have a ticket back
Don't believe in T.V. preachers
Don't believe in talk show stars
Never follow trends if they turn on your friends
Just to be sure you know who your friends are

And if you're running blind
On a refueled mind
Better watch the time
And careful you don't go too far

Never burn the bridges before you
If you've burned the bridges behind
And never burn the one that you're walking upon
Or you're sure to hit the water in time

Don't believe in expectations
Don't believe in shooting stars
And if you make a stand on a dead empty hand
Never let them see your cards

And if you're running blind
On a refueled mind
Better watch the time
And careful you don't go too far




Nothing's Going On
Album : Handful Of Rain


Cheshire cat
Done rip your soul
Don't turn your back
Don't turn your back

Car rolls by
Move real slow
Fade it to black
Fade it to black

But nothings going on
Nothings going on

Twisted nerves
On shifting feet
Taking up slack
Taking up slack

Gone too far
Can't retreat
Cover you tracks
Cover you tracks

Nothings going on

She's no queen of hearts
But she's good to me
Bring her coffin roses
Brush her thorns
Let it bleed

Just a hardcore dancer
Puppet on a string
One crippled romancer
Strung so tight
Gotta watch her swing

Nothings going on




Ocean
Album : The Wake Of Magellan


When the night will gather darkness
And black clouds unadorned
Only poets, dreams and madmen
Will sail out into the storm




Out On The Streets
Album : Fight For The Rock


Far, far away I'd like to touch you
But you're not here today
And now's the time I need you most
I think about the days we were close
Baby I need you here.

I'm out on the streets alone tonight,
Looking for you it don't seem right
Baby don't you know I'm falling apart
How could you break my heart?

Walking down the avenues
The ones I would walk with you
It's funny how the nights last so long
And with the dawn comes another day
Why won't you call me babe,
You see I can't hold on

I'm out on the streets alone tonight
Looking for you it don't seem right
Baby don't you know I'm falling apart
How could you break my heart?




Of Rage And War
Album : Gutter Ballet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You got Lybia you got the Russians
You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans
Airports full of terrorists
Nagi skins anarchists
When are they gonna learn

Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch
You have no goddamn right to do the things you do
The world would be a better place if we were rid of you
Of rage and war [4 times]

Every country's got the bomb
The scientists are working on
Chemical weapons to melt the flesh
With no source of defense
Shoot me I'll shoot you
Like there's nothing better to do
Who's the loser in the end

Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch
You have no goddamn right to do the things you do
The world would be a better place if we were rid of you
Of rage and war [4 times]

War broods in foreign lands
Missiles launch upon command
Islam Lebanon what the hell is going on
Ambassadors who say they try
Negotiating suicide
Are they prepared to face the end
Of rage and war [4 times]




Paragons Of Innocence
Album : The Wake Of Magellan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day

Into night

Into day
Into I don't know you anymore

But I stand
Where you say
Thinking all the time you planned it

You've been gone away too long
Leaving us to carry on
Though in truth you never tried
Just stepped back and watched the slide

Paragons of innocence
Questioning of your intent
Never quite sure what you meant
From the other side

Moments on the carousel
Must admit we ride it well
And the horses never tell
All throughout the ride

That no one leaves
No one leaves
No one leaves...
Alive

Time

On my hands

Slips away
Till I just don't feel it anymore

Thinking back

When I can
To the time when it began with
Bits of dreams all in a line
And somehow we missed the signs
That it all was never real
And in truth a fatal deal

Paragons of innocence
Questioning of your intent
Never quite sure what you meant
From the other side

Moments on the carousel

Must admit we ride it well
And the horses never tell
All throughout the ride

No one leaves

No one leaves
No one leaves...
Alive

There always comes a time
When you do what you want to do
You know you shouldn't do it
But you do it anyway
And when he had that time
When he knew what he wanted to
He quickly placed his order
Though he never thought he'd pay

But the lines turned to lies
And the lies turned to tangles
And you're pale as a cadaver
Though you think it doesn't show
So you live with the lies
And the friends that it gathers
But somewhere in your heart you know you
Got to let it
Got to let it
Go

Paragons of innocence
Questioning of your intent
Never quite sure what you meant
From the other side

Moments on the carousel

Must admit we ride it well
And the horses never tell
All throughout the ride

No one leaves

No one leaves
No one leaves...
Alive

Then the sailor picked a coat up
That had been laying there
And placed it over the body
And then he said a little prayer

And the ocean brought in on a wave

An old waterlogged wreath
And pushed it up along the sand
Till it touched the dead man's feet

And written on that wreath

In letters of gold foil
Was the name veronica guerin
But the letters were bent and soiled

The sailor said I see these flowers
That you so kindly gave
Are obviously from far away
And from another's grave

And I cannot help but to think
The sailor gently said
That it's unwise in god eyes
To steal flowers from the dead

The ocean said please trust me friend
This gift will cause no pain
And the person to whom they once belonged
Would surely say the same

You see this wreath was from the funeral
Of a woman who showed no fear
Of men who lived in mansions
Bought with other people's tears

Of men who lived in mansions
Bought with bits of others lives
Who at night still hugged their children
And brought gifts home to their wives

With money made from heroin
And packets of cocaine
And if a buyer overdosed
They never felt the pain

There were many flowers at her funeral
But none for this boy I fear
So the wind has blown this wreath to me
And I have brought it here

She gave her life to stop the spread
Of drugs among her kind
And if we leave these flowers for this boy

I'm sure she wouldn't mind





You're Alive
Album : Streets


So D.T. returned
To the ground he had burned in his past
And the press they all laughed
And they said it never lasts

But the crowds they came in
Just to see a man back from the dead
As he stood on the stage
The world echoed in his head

When you're skating on ice too thin to take it
You got to move fast or else you break it
So throw back your hair and feel the wind rush by

So people take care when you're chasing a dream in the night
That the walls of the past don't interrupt your flight
Never stop never turn
Never look never learn
So they say
But somewhere in time we all pay
For yesterday

When you're skating on ice too thin to take it
You got to move fast or else you break it
So throw back your hair and feel the wind rush by
And you're alive




This Isn't What We Meant
Album : Dead Winter Dead


We dared to ask for more
But that was long before the nights began to burn
You would have thought we'd learned
You can't make promises all based upon tomorrow
Happiness, security are words we only borrowed
For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent?
Please understand this isn't what we meant

The future couldn't last, we nailed it to the past
With every word a trap that no one can take
Bac
