Holy Spirit
We Desire

[Verse 3:]
In Your presence

Awakening
[Verse 4:]
For this moment
For this hour
Awakening
[Bridge:]
Like the rising sun that shines
From the darkness comes a light
I hear Your voice say
This is my awakening
Like the rising sun that shines
Awake my soul
Awake my soul to sing
From the darkness comes a light
Awake my soul
Awake my soul to sing
Only You can raise a life
Awake my soul
Turn off that computer
for a while and feel and
hear what ive got to
say, your life and our
lives are much more
than a file on a disk
can't calculate that way
thereis no need to hide
behind that wall, to
keep your feelings inside
at all, to convert your
life into boring numbers
hey-ho! wake up from your slumbers
(while you sleep) i have my fun
(while you sleep) i feel and enjoy
(while you sllep) i see the sun
(while you slepp) im playing
with my toys
don't need any artificial
maturity when everybody
knows that there's a child
inside of me,i don't want
to be drecocious, don't
want to grow up,i want
to live my emotions!
(if you don't get the point then
a)perhaps you're too old and too
cold to
b)perhaps you don't understand
the english language
It's a tricky world we are born into
There?s a spiral down prepared for you
All you have to do is to sell your doubts
To the one who pays you the most
Damned into silence
Your heart starts to burn
And money won't soothe the pain
Caused by a lie
Through seeing a way down
Your chances grow
To find your way out of the plan
To make you feel alone
Do you see, they are all here
One by one, they open their eyes
And spread their wings, right beside you
They start the fight against the lies
Do you see, they are all here
One by one, they open their eyes
And spread their wings, right beside you
They start the fight against the lies
It's a tricky world we are born into
There?s a spiral down prepared for you
All you have to do is to sell your doubts
To the one who pays you the most
Through seeing a way down
Your chances grow
To find your way out of the plan
To make you feel alone
Do you see, they are all here
One by one, they open their eyes
And spread their wings, right beside you
They start the fight against the lies
Do you see, they are all here
One by one, they open their eyes
And spread their wings, right beside you
They start the fight against the lies
Do you see, they are all here
One by one, they open their eyes
And spread their wings, right beside you
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will shoulder my troubles and
harness my ride
In the awakening, in the awakening
I?ll roll nothin? but doubles,
sevens and nines
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will lick my wounds, I will kiss the sky
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will kick the shoulds, I will not ask why
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will pray for nothing,
I will stay up ?til the end
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will say what I want to,
I will not make amends
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will honor the mistaken,
I will honor the truth
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will honor the forsaken,
I will not mourn my youth
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will not mourn my losses,
I will not mourn the dead
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will have no bosses,
I will not bow my head
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will want for nothing, I will give you a gift
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will always love you,
[Instrumental]
Bottoms up tonight i drink to you and i
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass i will break the past
'cause with the morning i can open my eyes
I want this to be my awakening
I give this one to you an anthem full of truth
I tell you now an epic tail of what you put me through
And even though you don't deserve one of your own
A melody a song about the life that you let go
I can't believe that i still care enough to write
Bottoms up tonight i drink to you and i
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass i will break the past
'cause with the morning i can open my eyes
I want this to be my awakening
Yes i miss you still and probably always will
I'm living with a busted heart that i will have until
I find the streangth i know its somewhere in my bones
So pull the curtain up again and get on with this show
At least you know that i care enough to write
Bottoms up tonight i drink to you and i
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass i will break the past
'cause with the morning i can open my eyes
And maybe i will see a different destiny
Like maybe knowing you at all was only a bad dream
I want this to be my awakening
No rest for the wicked they say
Forgive me if i try to change
No rest for the wicked they say
Forgive me if i try to change
Bottoms up tonight i drink to you and i
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass i will break the past
'cause with the morning i can open my eyes
And maybe i will see a different destiny
Like maybe knowing you at all was only a bad dream
Face down with the L.A. curbside endings
In ones and zeros
Downtown was the perfect place to hide
The first star that I saw last night
Was a headlight of a man-made sky
But man-made never made our dreams collide, collide
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep about a dream
We're awakening
Last week saw me living for nothing but deadlines
With my dead beat sky
But this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And all my life I don't know
That I've ever felt so alive, alive
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
You've been talking in your sleep about a dream
We're awakening
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
I wanna know that my heart's still beating
It's beating, I'm bleeding
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
I wanna live like I know what I'm leaving
I wanna know that my heart's still beating
It's beating, it's beating, it's beating, I'm bleeding
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition
But you've been talk, talking in your sleep about a dream
We're awakening
You filled my heatt with love
It will never break apart
Miracle in my eyes
Time is running wild
You know I have lost my way
You know I have got to say
Days like barrIcades have come to an end
A new day has begun
A new day shines like the sun
You give me songs to sing
You give me dreams to dream
All I ever wanted I find here with you
Forget the world is the world
Forget the world is in pain
Somehow it got out of hand
Somehow I don't comprehend
A new day has begun
A new day shines like the sun
Your lips are sweet
It's all I need from life
Love makes angels of us all
I thought I would never meet a girl like you
I know I will never let you go
I will never let this go
A new day has begun
No more white line fever - no more counting change
Eternal slumber calling me
Awakening a bold new rage
Buried in the bottle - lost what I was thinking
A decade plus of hard abuse
A lonely man left weak and sinking
The truth won't always shine on you
Hapiness ain't money - happiness ain't greed
Have the strength to dig the hole
[Instrumental]
Dress down your pretty faith. Give me something real.
Leave out the thee and thou and speak to me now.
Speak to my pain and confusion.
Speak through my fears and my pride.
Speak to the part of me that knows I'm something deep down inside.
I know that I am not perfect, but compare me to most,
In a world of hurt and a world of anger I think I'm holding my own.
And I know that you said there is more to life.
And I know I am not satisfied.
But there are mornings I wake up and I'm just thankful to be alive.
I've known now, for quite a while, that I am not whole.
I've remembered the body and the mind,
But disected my soul.
Now something inside is awakening,
Like a dream I once had and forgot.
And it's something I'm scared of
And something I don't want to stop.
And I woke up this morning and realized that Jesus is not a portait.
Where stained glass windows or hymns or the tradition that surrounds us.
And I thought it would be hard to believe in
But it's not hard at all.
To believe I've sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.
And He's not asking me to change in my joy for martyrdom
He's asking to take my place.
To stand in the gap that I have formed
With His real, and His sweet, and His real amazing grace.
And it's not just a sign or a sacrament.
It's not just a metaphor for love.
The blood is real and it's not just a sybol of your faith.
So leave out the thee and thou and speak now.
When I close my eyes to this paradox place
I'll fly away, far away from here
I'll get away and dream, dream of you
When it's all said and done
And the night has come
I'll disappear, take flight on the wind of wishing you were here
Fading light, like a star whose life has been gone for years
And I'll fly, fly across the sky
And I'll leave, I'll leave it all behind
If you'll be here, here with me tonight
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I'll be fine
Awakening has taken place in me,
Breathe in the newness of life
Drink freely new wine
Awaken from stagnant,
Passiveness broke free
Constrictive casualness
The dawn has come,
We must move on
Steadfast, faithfulness,
Put off, laziness
Wake up, wake up
Awaken from sleep,
Open your eyes, receive
Healed of crippling lethargy
Our spirits no longer
Reek of sleep
Through prayer we've entered
In the throne room
The will of God
Awaken from stagnant broke free
The dawn has come,
We must move on
Steadfast putoff casual
Now when the world is shadowed and dark
Now when the sky is emptied of stars
Now when the world is rapped in sleep, in the quiet and listen deep
In the silence of the night
Far off in the distance a fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright, dancing with the light
Awakening the heavens and the earth
Far across the ocean a flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night, rising with light
Here to wake the heavens and the earth
Now when the light starts to rise
Now when the day opens wide
Now as your dream slips away, you wake to the day
You wake to the light
Feels as the dream falls, feels as the dark turns to day
Leave the shadows behind, and the dream cold and blind
Turn into the light
Far off in the distance, a fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the night
Burning soft and bright, dancing with the light
Awakening the heavens and the earth
Far across the ocean a flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night, rising with the light
Here to wake the heavens and the earth
Far off in the distance, a fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright, dancing with the light
Awakening the heavens and the earth
Far across the ocean, a flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night, rising with the light
Here to wake the heavens and the earth
SLOW MOTION WHEN MY FEET TOUCH THE GROUND
YOU STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT
WHEN YOU FACE THE WORLD, YOU'VE GOT TO PAY A CERTAIN PRICE
YOU ARE HORRIFIED, TRANQUILIZED
EVERY SECOND COUNTS
YOU CAN B WHO U WANNA B
JUST HOLD ON TO YOUR FANTASY
YOU CAN B WHO U WANNA B
JUST LET GO OF REALITY
IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE BLOCKED
BEGIN WITH YOURSELF, FACING UP
WHATEVER IT TAKES, LOOK INSIDE
NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES
BLANK OUT TIME AND SPACE AND FEEL
ALL CONNECTIONS FLOW INTO PLACE
YOU HAVE A CHOICE, A NEW BEGINNING
YOU CAN B WHO U WANNA B
JUST HOLD ON TO YOUR FANTASY
YOU CAN B WHO U WANNA B
JUST LET GO OF REALITY
THERE IS SAFETY IN DERISION
I TALK ABOUT MY VISION
THE TROUBLE OF DEFECTION
THE COMFORT OF AFFECTION
WIEGH ME DOWN AND NOT A DAY
EXPERIENCE RECALLED
MY MIND APPALLED
WHAT DO WE KNOW
WHAT DO WE SHOW
IS THERE SOMETHING TO BE SAID ?
HIT THE GROUND, NOT A SOUND
IS STRONG ENOUGH TO LIFT ME UP
PUT ME DOWN, FIX ME UP
LOVE WILL HOLD IT
LOVE WILL HOLD IT
DROPPING OUT OF SKY AND ROCK
DRUGGED BY LOVE, A SYSTEM SHOCK
CATCH ME UP, COS TIME WILL TELL
IF LOVE WILL HOLD IT
LOVE WILL HOLD IT
LOVE WILL HOLD IT
HUSH, I LOST MY THEME
OF ORIGINAL SIN
EXTREMITIES. REALITY
LEAVE THE THINGS THAT SEEM
DROPPING OUT OF SKY AND ROCK
DRUGGED BY LOVE, IN STATE OF SHOCK
DISTORTED DAYS, DISTORTED WAYS
NOT WORTH THINGING OF
DROPPING UOT OF SKY AND ROCK
DRUGGED BY LOVE IN A STATE OF SHOCK
LOVE WILL HOLD IT
LOVE WILL HOLD IT
Fall into the flood of your awakening
Drown. You're a trace of what I used to be
Waging the battle for the appreciation you'll never win
Behold the army that will harken with open souls
A tiny voice of pester softer than a drop of a pin
And so naive thinking you were
The source you told
I was composing the beginning before you had begun
Where did you sharpen such a tongue
For the sound you spill
I want the honor for the favor that I've already won
Without the ignorant deduction
That you reveal
Give me the pain of something real
No empty notion, I want to see the pressure rising
Give in a way that I can feel
When you disgrace me I want to see your eyes burn
Fall into the flood of your awakening
Drown. You're a trace of what I used to be
You wrote the words you couldn't
Stomach manifesting with breath
I read the thoughts you never
Questions would show me your face
If confrontation were to wake and
Rear it's ugly head
I get the feeling you'd be wanting it all erased
This simple gossip is your only definition of life
And what a vacant purpose taking it to your grave
There is no threat of loss in
Hearing the slant you cry
Oh what a fool to think you fell
On the mass you crave
Fall into the flood of your awakening
Drown. You're a trace of what I used to be
Awaken from the delusion of validity
Awaken into the truth of how it used to be
Wake up
Fall into the flood of your awakening
Drown. You're a trace of what I used to be
Awaken
In our hearts, Lord, in this nation
Awakening
Holy Spirit, we desire
Awakening
For You and You alone
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing
For the world You love
Your will be done, let Your will be done in me
In Your presence, in Your power
Awakening
For this moment, for this hour
Awakening
For You and You alone
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing
For the world You love
Your will be done, let Your will be done in me
For You and You alone
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing
For the world You love
Your will be done, let Your will be done in me
Like the rising sun that shines
From the darkness comes a light
I hear Your voice and this is my
Awakening
Like the rising sun that shines
From the darkness comes a light
I hear Your voice and this is my
Awakening
Like the rising sun that shines
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing
From the darkness comes a light
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing
Like the rising sun that shines
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing
Only You can raise a life
Sentimental runaway
Run away
From the screaming hearts
And the parts that your brother played
Leave those shells and ice-cloned bells behind
Sentimental Runaway
Obituary
Dead in a car
Rock stars on the other tray
Put the treasure chest to the silicone test and smile
It's in your mind
Screams in the hallway, runaway
Your conscience calls but you fall to lobotomy
What's inside?
The nations ride again
Dead in a car
The star's on the other tray
Infect to detect the rise of economy
Your silicon treasure chest is in your mind
It's in your mind
I've tried to before
But I just don't understand
What it is that goes on
Inside your head
Sentimental runaway
Destiny
In the path of the noose, be the guest of monotony
Time will tell
If the theory proved the lie
Sentimental runaway
Obituary
Dead little star just a fake-out for the tragedy
Talk about the test
While the rest remain sublime
It's in your mind
I've tried to before
But I just don't understand
What it is that goes on
oh holly was a roadside heretic
felt the weight of the circus town
all the fakers seemed to do was make her sick
now holly's got a shotgun frown
and underneath her smile's a bitterness
and a need to secure her faith
'cause all the self-belief is just emptiness
if she can never dominate
the question is not how far to push it
when you're forced out of control
we all could use some understanding
before we feel the whip come down
oh billy's got his trite philosophy
tucked away inside his chest
'cause daddy's into cars and pornography
oh and daddy always knows what's best
now underneath the tears of this bitterness
is a need to secure a faith
'cause all the books have left is an emptiness
and a growing sense of hate
the question is not...
roadside heretics
Let me live
Let me die
Let the world whisper goodbye
Whisper goodbye
And do you care?
And do you feel?
And do you know what is real?
Could not believe
That you had to steal
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dares
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools, said I, You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
I lay there watching her sleeping
A dream slipping from her brow
and I long to go where the air is clean
in her my evolution calls
But on another plane the voice call
Stirring the muscles in their weeping wall
In another time machines are built
in loving destruction they have made a place for me
And I stood befor the Judicial goat
My oaths tight against my martyrs coat
I was an imprisoned warden
Staring at the crumbs while the rats ignored them
And to fisrt I ask "How could this come to pass"
And to the past I look but have we really lost?
Are we awake?
But I´m hardened in my sleep
And my dreams are driven steel
For to see the heroes chanting is enough
But I´m hardened in my sleep
And my world seems to conceal
to chance to see the heroes chanting in my time
They bring the needless but my eyes are shut
My head is broken
I sense the demon but my eyes are shut
My head is broken
And to the first I ask "How could this come to paas?"
And to the past I look but have wwe really lost?
And to the first I ask "How could this come to pass?"
And to the past I gaze how is it I am last
to awake?
to rescurrect
awake
A vision of my angels bleeding
The sword on the Holy arm
and I long to go where dreams are clean again
Away from this Narcissistic Farm
But to where my love lies sleeping
Oblivious to those prison bells
and they´ve chained the ghosts of Herod´s brooding
The Jury´s trial descends to hell
Descends to hell
And to the first I ask "How could this come to paas?"
And to the past I look but have wwe really lost?
And to the first I ask "How could this come to pass?"
And to the past I gaze how is it I am last
Oh to awake
I want to go
Where roses grow
Feels like inside my mind
I long to go
Where the roses grow
Feels like it's in my mind
I need to go
The world must know
About the light inside
You like the show
But even so
I feel the burning tide
Burning tide
A new morning - wait for your time
But still we question why
A promise kept - throughout all time
But we question why
Bit I like the feeling I get
I'm so tired of wasting it
He broke the chains, saved my life
Now I think it's time to use it
I want to go
Where the roses grow
More than inside my mind
I want to go
Where roses grow
Feel life inside the Light
I feel the light
Feel the life
I'm right back where I belong
Mental attack forgone
What doesn't kill makes a man strong
And I will heal, I'll take them on
But maybe it's just a waste of a miracle
Maybe just a waste of time
I am complete, I am whole
I couldn't speak the fractured dome
They would oppress my very dreams
My writhing frame of lesser screams
But maybe it's just a waste of a miracle
Maybe just a waste of time
They'll bleed you dry if you give them a chance
You've got to ask yourself if that's what you want
But maybe it's a waste of a miracle
She falls down in the traffic
A little dream upon her knees
The melody she has is tragic
She tries to smile and turns to me
And now I can see
Oh and now I believe
She gets up for tomorrow
A little voice below the stream
Crucified for suggestion
Like a ghost she turns to me
And now I can see
Oh and now I believe
What a meaningless sensation
To be out here on your own
When it's all just devastation
Hold your breath and let it go
She falls down in the traffic
A little dream upon her knees
She falls down in the traffic
Tries to smile and turns to me
And now I can see
Tracey walks away
She doesn't think they'll find her if she
keeps herself occupied
It's easy to delay
When everyone is so obsessed with
reasons not to cry
And Tracey's near the end
She wonders if she takes her shirt off
Will he let her score for free
It's easy to pretend
Oh it's easy to just say, I love you
then push that needle in
And Tracey walks away
Another fix she had no cash for
but she knows she'll soon pay
and the men are past the gate
They're going through her every solace
Her mind is bleeding, bodied raped
and she says
I'm just a baby
I'm just a child
oh please don't hurt me again
I just need some time
And I'm outside her place
I'm banging on the door but no one
Seems to see my face
And so I climb the wall
I'm running up the stairs and feeling
The air escape my call
And that was when I
found her lying on the bathroom floor
she's gone
now she's gone
taken from me - my junky baby's gone
just a little line to start it
then just a little, little more
she broke her very self to feed it
oh tracey stole and whored
she's gone
Well I'm walking on forbidden knives
Break another frame 'cos you said so
Tilt and bow into your lives
Try a little more 'cos you said so
You don't know what this has done to me
You don't feel what this has done to me
Just to give, away
Spilling the light from an open grave
Time to get the enery moving
Pull and turn, the echoed slave
Feel the presence in me is burning
You don't know what this has done to me
You don't feel what this has done to me
Just to give, away
(This is not a rock song)
[repeat Verse 1]
You don't know what this has done to me
You can't judge what you can never see
Oh angel break this lucid strand
I´m shaking like a hologram
Just need me like you held me once before
I feel the fibres of your dreams
They shimmer sidewards and in between
the hurting hours I´m right back at the door
it´s insane
But Walls come down
I´m here waiting for my resurrection
You´re so clean yet so grey
Walls come down
like the Harmony of Imperfection
Breathe the moonlight in and pray
They chase me down the mountain face
with sabres drawn and eyes ablze
Awake again? but the night has lost it´s glow
It´s constant delibertaion
Is emotion mutilation?
The scalped falls, the only words are "No!"
But Walls come down
I´m here contemplating all creation
You´re so clean yet so grey
All I need
is a little more than confirmation
that "everything is better in the day"
Oh angel we could steal the morning
Keep it bound and gagged from
calling out the insults in it´s muted score
Is this only desperation?
to want to share this deprivation
What am I waiting for?
But Walls come down
I´m here waiting for my resurrection
You´re so clean yet so grey
I believe
in the Trinity and the great commission
Walk that rocky narrow way
Walls come down
like the Harmony of Imperfection
Breathe the moonlight and pray
All I need
is a little more than confirmation

I stepped away from the garden
so intent on covering my shame
the thoughts of all I had broken
building on the dirt of the day
inside the tomb of confusion
I have spent a lifetime away
from even dreams or allusions
by candle light I´ve witnessed decay
of all the men who´d chosen their wars
and all the men that had given up on fighting for the cause
to re-instate the the harmony that was given to us
when water was yet land and the sun bled with the stars
I´m leading for New Beginning
a path to walk free from disease
begging for a New Beginning
to put the earth right back on it´s knees
I´m waiting for the second coming
screaming out at the heaven above need the power of that love
praying for a New Beginning
It´s colder here without the touch
impatience went from oush
am i on the road
to there or back?
i just don't remember
i just can't remember
and i'm feeling slow
and the lines distract
the way i'm guessing
or just digressing
and where is the trust
when we exist in
a godless mind
a loveless time
and the walls are built
to match the ceiling
down to the wire
down to the wire
am i the one who's lost at sea
am i the slave to all i need
i heard seek and ye shall find
but they've unveiled the no-where mind

Burning silhouettes agains the wall
Fading cigarettes and empty halls
Breaking like I have someone to blame
But it's not me, oh it's not me here today
I was just a casualty of men
I was on the line of my descent
And I'm breaking like I have someone to blame
But it's not me, it's not me here today
The sedatives are swollen in my throat
The sedatives are swollen in my throat
And I'm breaking like I have someone to blame
But it's not me, it's not me
And I'm down before they even call my name
i've taken the wrong
and taken the dark
i'm left with but a sight
of missionary fields
and mercenary kills
and the prolific trite
i'm under a spell
and i'm under a cloak
of medicinal delight
i need to be sure
and i need a release
i need some other light some other life
like the Maker
He's holding on to (the) believers
i got no time for (the) deceivers
i only want a paradise
oh, the Maker
He's no critical faker
and i'm the one who's taken
away from al the nowhere lies
a decadent earth
in need of rebirth
is tiring out my bones
with all that i've seen
and all i've become
i need another home
the drugs and the hate
the idiot fate
of political incest
is getting me down
is letting me drown
but i'll get my rest
With the Maker...
We are the Dark Romantics
The Dark Romantics in our candle's glow
We are the Dark Romantics
and our dreams are where the poets go.
The photograph child
holds her head in shame
While the Crystal Wilde
fears a statue with no name
The velvet touch
of the warmest mystery
Is where our kind
welcomes serenity
We are the Dark Romantics
The Dark Romantics in our candle's glow
We are the Dark Romantics
and our dreams are where the poets go.
Your eyes are shut
to the world that we hold dear
You mock the way we paint ourselves
You mock our Theatre tears
We bow in love
I know the Angels smile
Drinking on emotion
Lighting altar fires
We are the Dark Romantics
The Dark Romantics in our candle's glow
We are the Dark Romantics
and our dreams are where the poets go.
Oh, we will be
Passionate, delicate
Oh we can see
all that God has given
It's surreal
Surreal
(surreal)
The photograph child
holds her head in shame
While the Crystal Wilde
fears a statue with no name
Oh, we are the Dark Romantics
The Dark Romantics in our candle's glow
We are the Dark Romantics
and our dreams are where the poets go.
Oh, we will be
Passionate, delicate
Oh, we can see
all that God has given
It's surreal
Oh, surreal
(surreal)
We are the Dark Romantics
The Dark Romantics in our candle's glow
We are the Dark Romantics
and our dreams are where the poets go.
The dark romantics
Step away, oh
Here they come like a new religion
All shiny black
On the blade of a new deception
No turning back
I get the feeling the message is fading
I get the feeling I just don't care
We're against the wall
We are the chosen people
Another media lie, lie
Up against the wall
We are the broken people
Pull the trigger and fire, fire
Here they come like the reformation
Of winter passed
Keep the flags of the nothing nation
Under powder and glass
They will not get away
There is no other way
There is no way to get ouf of here
Shadows wept across the floor as she made her way towards me
In Tamzin's hand the splintered rose, a symbol her purity
And I was struck for the thirteenth time that she hadn't seen me waiting
And reality rained cruel and fast from the wounds that she was hiding
Feel the world is wasting your time
I caught her arm and in her eyes, the first words of the inner reason
She held me close and in her mind I saw her paint that forbidden season
We can't just leave, I think I said but my words held scarce their meaning
The book is sealed, the motive read that Tamzin's words were healing
Feel the world is wasting your time
Tamzin said she's leaving
Tamzin said she's bleeding
Tamzin's just a touch away
Tamzin said she's leaving
Now she's stopped believing
Tamzin's just a touch away
Feel like I'm drowning but still I see the sun
Seems like the world has come undone
No air around me but still see the sun
Is that like me
the last frustration you have saved
Is that like me
the degeneration of the brave
Is that like me
to treat my brother as a salve
Is that like me
the final reason to go away
Is that like me
to choose your heros and then decide
to shoot them down
and hold exhibits on their pyre
Is that like me
am I the cloth that wipes your smile
Is that me
or is it the images on your trial
Do you know the place I go to when the beatings arrive
Do you know the strengh I call on when they scream "crucify"
Do you need another reason to belittle my love
The Stigma you cast is really not enough
Is that like me
to put illusion in my veins
and shoot it down
before the Icons you portray
Is that like me
Another victim of decay
This room´s so cold
You kissed me twice and then betrayed
my only wish
To hold you near me in the night
Oh is that like me
Sitting by myself again
Battered and alone
Wondering to myself again
Whether I have grown
Stand and be counted
Stand to be seen
Stand and be counted
I look into your eyes again
And memories unfold
I wonder about the time we spend
The place we call a home
Stand and be counted
Stand to be seen
Stand and be counted
You force my mind to run away
to your dreams of black and gold
A pain so sharp it bleeds the night
I give you my hand to hold
Stand and be counted
Stand to be seen
Stand and be counted
It's not long to go
And as the night drags out
Another hour waiting on a ghost
And as the walls turn black
The memories turn tight against your throat
Oh all the promises
Turn and raise their double sided smiles
And as your feelings show
You hide behind the words of a child
Burnt by the breaking of your heart
Torn down to where the hurting starts
Oh and the story books
Are nothing more than scratches on the glass
And as your eyes stay shut
You're holding on to all that should go past
Oh but the noise is cold
It's colder than the trust you laid to rest
And the room feels old
You keep the child inside your sunken chest
Burnt by the breaking of your heart
Am I on the side of oceans
or drowning in a field
Will I fight or will I yield
to the message he´s been sent with
older than my fears
Is there any point in giving in
to the harvest of black tears
Are we in the house of angels
Are we destined to survive
Is the medicine my flavour
Has morality just died
or is it in the end closet
or underneath my bed
with paranoia deceit
with letters yet unread
Will I prostitute my neighbour
Will I hold him to his vows
All thsese burdens of Babylon
leave such a hallow sound
And if you were offensive
would I even care
or would I turn and coldly say
"It´s not my cross to bear"
How long must it be?
How far must it be
How hard should it be?
Are we lost here in this kingdom
or safer in our cells
For every child a Judas
For every heart a hell
And will be remembered
for less than I am worth
And what does that amount to
And would you let me serve
On the underside of aging
when the Philistines come home
to rid us our dignity
to slit our leader´s throats
Is this the road to emptiness
Is this the prison call
Lying with our trinkets held
towards the coming storm
How long must it be?
How far should it be?
How hard must it be?
Where do we put our faith now
that Herod´s got the vote
Will the past regain it´s sweetness
Will the holes heaf in our coats
As martyrs gather ´round us
with screams of heresy
The basic fact remains that
His children are all free
How long must it be?
How far must it be?
How hard must it be - my friend
feeling like these photo-scenes
your world is black and in-between
the paradox you call your life
you stop to cry
i picked up where
they left off and
held you 'til you
were alive and
now the room is mirror-tricks and dappled light
and if you walk away - i won't understand
you were like a work of art - that
had its canvas torn apart and
found itself an icon
in its disarray
i was just an afterthought
who practised everything he taught
but innocence can sometimes
be an enemy
every phase is something new
with your eyes away from mine
oh this isn't living proof
it's only borrowed time
The first time we touched
I thought I'd died
And whe parted I felt
that burning inside
And when we pressed against the dark
Cerebral healing
would leave it's mark on me
Blessed by the virtue in your smile
Such child-like purity
so sensually entwined
And in your breath the flames will rise
That cleansing warmth
restores the colour in my eyes
I told myself to wait
But the greyness around me took a liking to me
I stood there against your gate
But the coldness was growing so I began walking
I began walking away
Inside I knew what I was leaving
But hey Maree
We belong together
Hey Maree
We belong together girl
Breathing the sour taste
Of indecision, of incompletion
Can't believe it's going to waste
The candle-lit passion, that honest sensation
Hey Maree...
I could not believe the deception in me
as I left you in rags of grey
I could not believe that I chose this bereavement
When with you is all I can be
You give to me
Everything I feel
You give to me
Everything, yet I bleed
(But that's you)
Dim the flame, change the tune
Inspiration
But the river runs
Over me
Options plague
My sanity
(It's a bitter taste)
You the gallows mask
To everything I ask
When nostalgia cries out
You fear to touch
The person inside
The one I loved
Dim the flame, change the tune
Desperation
Lift my head up to
Intervention
But the river runs
Over me
Options plague
My sanity
Options plague
I fall to my knees at the Throne
Then cover my eyes from the light, from the healing
Bury myself alone
Try to make a new start - be a part
of the church of the Holy Word
where I find my sins atoned
But in the other world flags unfurl
Feel the ever present sense of self
breaking my bones
In the unholy
No sanctuary
In the unholy
No-one to hold me
No-one to hold me
I fall to my knees at the walls of Jerricho
Seeking untruths and delights and darker pleasures
on the altar of bloodied stone
Never turn away only stray to the other side
The side of flesh and bone
Ever recommit - to submit to the Righteous call
from the hills of Evermore
In the unholy
No sanctuary
In the unholy
No-one to hold me
No arms around me
Was given all I needed, or ever tried to get
But easy to lust after, easy to forget
Easy to lust after easy to forget
Time for my repentance
Time for my repentance
From the unholy
No sanctuary
In the unholy
No-one to hold me
It's time for my introduction
You might not know me anymore
It's just a case of abduction
There's menace in Etherea
We're woven into absolution
We're tired of the falter call
Don't care much for some bland illusion
There's menace in Etherea
In desperation we are martyred
Screaming as the stones are cast
Drowning in rejected wisdom
Feel so alone
Beneath the scars
Another complication with a knife against the heart
The Siren screams
Your body aches
All along they march in time and lay our dreams to waste
And we die - to the world of the Machine
And we fall - as they tell us who to be
And we die - for the stolen memory
But Heaven waits for you and I
The colours fade
The rope is tight
Swollen medication from the men in shades of white
The altar burns
The hero's face
They call it evolution as they leave without a trace
And we die - to the world of the Machine
And we fall - as they tell us who to be
And we die - for the stolen memory
But Heaven waits for you and I
The message is wrong and we die for the light
The message is wrong
I need to know all the truths behind the lies
I need to show the guilt that is inside me
Try to grow, a little sun and rain to die
Try to grow, apart from this escaping
Actions for the words
Linear touche
Actions killed the first
Border on insane
So let it rain
Little child with war in her eyes
Little false summation
Little war taken for a slide
Time for lost salvation
I've had to go and leave the doubtful tears behind
Because the glow, well I could see it fading
Actions for the words
Linear touche
Actions killed the first
Border on insane
So let it rain...
Little child with war in her eyes
Little false summation
Little war taken for a slide
Time for lost salvation
Oh clouds are overhead
Oh sentimental shade
Oh why am I scared
Far away across the fields
Mortal men
regain the seal
Of those before the winds of pain
when the Hollow Men
staked their claim
And where the Word became flesh
was where the world
became cleansed
And in the streets the children ran
when heresy
would claim the hand
of the Prophet of man
And on their feet the Lame arose
And by his Grace
the lost came home
Yet through a frame of idolarty
we choose to ignore
we choose not to see
The Prophet of man
And in the darkness of chosen cell
I am awake but ever falling
And to listen with an honest heart
I know I´d always hear the calling
And where the Word consumes the flesh
is where the light
of life is blessed
The Prophet of man
The memories' to blame
The world is on its' way
But nothing seems the same to me
I've got stitches on my face
I've got a line of broken frames
And it doesn't feel the same to me
Will you answer when I call?
Will you need me at all?
Will you decide to let me bleed?
And I'm nervous on this floor
And these bruises always show
Get along, move away from the front line
sympathetic to the cause, so why try?
Holding on, don't belong to the new lie
had some hope, but it's buried inside
your head is in your hands again
and memories remain
You say you do what you do to stay alone
No feeling
just reeling
below the new affliction
misleading
deceiving
Is one more one more crucifixion
one more one more crucifixion
Got it all figured out and you won't try
see the shades pulling down the new light
got a blade like the tear in your eye
want to leave and just kiss it goodbye
your head is in your hands again
and memories remain
you say what you do to stay alone
no feeling...
you say it's only in the mind
but he's waiting at your side
The mallet's in your hand
We're all alive in here
Between the branches and the cold
The mask in splinters on the stone
Between the afterglow of pain
Our children's tears beneath the rain of Oblivion
We're all alive in here
Between the branches and the cold
The mask in splinters on the stone
Between the afterglow of pain
Our children's tears beneath the rain of Oblivion
Angel sighs, "Breathe the kiss of Oblivion"
Get up off the dirt my angel
We're going to leave this place
leave today
I'll clothe your slender form my angel
For we must leave this place
leave today
And I won't let them hurt you angel
So just take my hand
We'll show them how strong we are
And I won't let them break me down here
You belong with me
Not misery
In our naked love alone
We will remain
Remain
I won't let them hurt you angel
Keep your hand in mine
We'll show them just how strong we are
Beyond these walls, beyond existence
You belong with me
Not misery
In our naked love alone
We will remain
i turned my head to stop the light
you held a candle and a silver knife
the words were black the words were cold
i'd never given thought to your fools gold
in my world
constricted
by the hands of definition - here
i've taken
and beaten all the ways
they've complicated me
in my world i need rebirth
i turned my voice to another cause
they've sent morality to fight on distant shores
i've held the truth i've held despair
deep in my lungs dyed as black as my hair
in my world...
i need to be
someone with some worth
i've turned this water into blood
i've spent so many years lost in this flood
in my world
constricted
by the hands of definition - here
i've taken
and beaten
all the ways they've complicated
all the ways they've reinvented
all the ways they've devastated
I battle to see a way out of here
The world is so dark, the history so clear
And all you can be can bring you to tears
You pull it apart - surrender to fear
Surrender to fear
Surrender to fear
Halo of Lies
Can I free myself from myself
Broken inside
Can I bleed the poison from the vow
(and they talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)
I battle to see a glimmer of hope
We hold on so tight 'til they cut the rope
And all we can be can all end in tears
We tear it away - surrender to fear
Halo of Lies
Can I free myself from myself
Broken inside
Can I bleed the poison from the vow
Here comes illusion again
Here comes the heartbeat of sin
(and they talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)
Halo of Lies
Can I free myself from myself
Broken inside
Can I bleed the poison from the vow
Not dead - He is alive
It's just another gospel song
a simple verse when everything's undone
broken by deceit
by heresy and lies
the faithful still believe
not dead He is alive
It's just another gospel song
a simple verse when everything's undone
Torn against a tree
a perfect a sacrifice
a crown of sympathy
In retrospect - I would not expect
the mythical decline of the freak show
I've become and I've undone
The cause and effect of every other reject
and on the other side of tomorrow
I'm done and I've begun
to disinfect the mark of the hex
psychological decline of the freak show
of one over-run
the marionette of hekat's web
is on the other side of hollow
I'm done and I'm the one
you are the voice that breathes my name
you are my strength and legion
you're in my skin, you're in my veins
you are my frozen icon
I detect - I'll be their subject
the evolution of my sorrow
down to a son
I'll manifest - they won't expect me
not even try to swallow
the black icy gun
you are the voice...
take my arms and take my deviant devastations
take my clothes and wash the conscience from your holy nation
take my voice and give the lesser gods food to play with
take my blood and leave the essence of my instigation
everyone's awake again
just happy she's not home
they never think to ask her
of the things she won't condone
i wish she's go and find herself
a reason to get out
they never seem to realise
her many little doubts
but i hear her crying
as she hits the wall
and they keep denying
that once again she's fallen to the floor
oh, it's like the time she tried
and ended on her face
i wish she'd rather been a boy
and not such... such a waste
everyone is looking girl
oh can't you even dance?
how will you ever know
if you never break that bloody trance?
but i hear her crying...
and she says
take a moment just to take your voice below a shout,
take a moment, hold me close
i've always been left out
but i hear her crying...
she's on the floor
Deep below the surface
It's quite unreal now
I entered the room
But I don't have the need now
Need to compete, need to discuss
Need to develop trust and lust and thrust now
And flowers never needed sunshine
And my condition's on the cosine
And if you ever started calling
Would this be faith falling?
Between the blinds
I see your shadows
Warping the truth
To fit your straight and narrow
And I need to consume
And I need to constrict
And I need to develop feelings in my hands and feet
And flowers never needed sunshine...
It's not that far to go
To make no sense at all
And flowers never needed sunshine
And my condition's on the cosine
And if you ever started calling
Will this be faith falling?
But is this the evolution of art?
But is this just the 'seams falling apart' again?
And I can't decide what colour the paint should be
And this door is always shifting away from me
You put your dress away
with your feelings
I know the tears will be mine again
You take moment
to stop my breathing
an I know the tears will be mine
as I believe
I believe in you
It´s been some time now
and I´m still broken
My head is empty, my eyes ar swollen
And just behind me
the void is growing
And inside me I feel unwoven
and I believe
I believe in you
I´m on the surface
where wind is blowing
Eyes are shut to the weight of knowing
that everything I am
is forbidden
Through the hallways of doubt I´m driven
as I believe
I believe in you
Take a moment
crawl deeper under
Take this moment
Love, I'm taking you back and I'm giving you
Dreams of gold and white I'm giving you
But dreams are born in fire
But your dreams are born in, born in fire
Oh sweet one
There is ice on your wing tonight
Sweet one
I only live to join you in your flight
Your heart
Set the pace of our destiny
Sweet one
Why did the cold have to intervene
Oh sweet one
I've been here waiting for the hour
For you
To still the water's tide again
But there's fear in your heart
Fear in your heart
Love, I'm taking you back and I'm giving you
Dreams of gold and white I'm giving you
But dreams are born in, born in fire
Oh sweet one
An ancient trust keeps the dark away
Sweet one
Fly harder now the sky is looking grey
Your heart
A shining torch for those below to see
Sweet one
I call your name, I sense your victory
But there's fear in your heart
Fear in your heart
Is it time here for praying?
Is it time here to die?
And I wake up and it's raining
And you're leaving here tonight
Is it winter in the morning?
Is it over or a lie?
And I'm shaking but I'm breathing
I just need to close my eyes
Oh you never were to blame
The broken glass is everywhere
It's crawling through your veins
The memory won't disappear
Again - tonight
Even Fallen Angels cry
Fallen Angels cry
Is it time here for dreaming?
Is it time here to die?
And there's nothing to believe in
But the One who gave me life
Oh you never were to blame
The broken glass is everywhere
It's crawling through your veins
The memory won't disappear
Again - tonight
Even Fallen Angels cry
Fallen Angels cry
I can hear you falling, feel you breaking
See you calling me
I can taste you bleeding, feel you shaking
Know you're needing me
Fallen Angels Cry
Beauty was forsaken
And now she's on the ground
Broken by a patron
Of memory and sound
Were do we go?
When all of the world
Decides we're not worth anything
Wat do we feel?
When silence is cold and dark
And death says yes again
Is it all just medicine?
It's the first time again
Where do we go?
When all of the world
Decides we're not worth anything
My love
And we're waiting here
As death says yes again
pour yourself over me
heaven exists in your smile
we pretend it's not happening
but woman you're consuming my mind
you're beautiful perfection angel child
a fading glance and i lie awake
tearing and twisting the time
i need to be inside of your love
as woman you're consuming my mind
you're beautiful perfection angel child
woman lay your body over mine
cover all the voids in my life
and at every warning they're turning away
manifesting and torn into another decay
manifesting the pallid trite complexion of decay
and the tyrant's awaking from his sleep
all the servants are making his conscience weak
manifesting the sickly de-volution of decay
all rise for the resurrection
the art of nothing men
is just a bleak complexion
only formed within
and i consider the feelings i had before
when my freedom was beaten and sold and whored
to the mercenary pallid trite complexion of decay
you're afloat but you haven't found the sea
and i need to be colder - but it's not in me
Child Of The Moon you call me softly
In thunder red across the sky
Night's purple legion lingers across me
Like the darkness in your eye
Kiss of Oblivion, wind and shadow
Silhouetted here deep inside
Child Of The Moon walking softly
Always beyond the place I lie
My window wall and cage removes me
from the fields where you dwell alone
The Sharpened Claws of Nightfall leave me
Bleeding tears upon this bed of stone
Sitting up, just seeking blindly
To know your will, my questions drone
Child Of The Moon on a sheet of starlight
In a world of frozen icons
A Truth is buried deep
In a place of abandon
My love for You grows so weak
In a life where mornings aren't beginnings
My chance is erased
In a time where the killer is the victim
I see Belief laid to waste
But nothing stays the same
Life is just a mortal chain
No there's never room for change
In our definition of the Human Race
I look into a dark tomorrow
I feel the blade against my arm
But in a flash of Divinity's Brilliance
A certain death is undone
We're all - Social Commentators
We're all - Funeral Meditators
But we could be more
Our pain He has bore
But nothing stays the same
Life is just a mortal chain
No there's never room for change
In our definition of the Human Race
No nothing stays the same
But an empty life seems so insane
Yes Salvation made the change
You've taken me higher
Lift the veil of my synchronocity
You've taken me higher
And I lose all sense and sensibility
Next to the fire
Broken men are warmed with empathy
You take me higher
Now I know, I know I feel release
Release my heart from it's chains
You've taken me higher
But trust it built on the works of other men
Send back the liar
And in a stolen moment he'll be back again
Next to the fire
See the gods idle at your feet
You take me higher
Destroy my doubt, destroy defeat
The Carnival has just left town
The sideshow horror
on a switchblade circuit frown
She's in the back of the yellow van
Finding a new plate of tricks
in the master's hand
The Carnival hast just left town
The High-road High-life
beyond the wall of coloured sound
When it all comes down
She doesn't feel so in control
Like the years before
when the winter seemed so cold
He's on her back with a dirty smile
High-road High-life
feeling like a little child
When it all comes down
It isn't real
When it all comes down
She doesn't feel
The Carnival hast just left town
The sideshow horror on a
switchblade circuit frown
Breathe into my mouth
Breathe into my world
I was something else
And you are still unreal
Open up my sky
Open up my veins and burn
All the silence down
And you are still unreal
Breathe into my mouth
Bleed into my world
I was never here
But you are still unreal
You're still unreal
If I could only for a moment
If I could look before I leap
To test it out before diving
To test to see how deep
When I'm alone, dressed up in crayon
Pulling burdens from the weak
For just to look in her direction
To bear the cause or bear deceit
Oh but the night time is where it breeds
Feed on the night time, feelings bereaved
Oh but the night time is what I need
Thought I'd improve my concentration
A little more breathing space
But I'm suffocated by the ventilation
That circles 'round this hollow place
Oh but the night time...
It doesn't matter where the hurt is
It's only worse when it's dark
I see her face and then the burning
Tomorrows breathe into a spark
If I could learn from past disaster
That left my mind a riddled fuse
When eyes were turned to the hereafter
And life had seemed so far removed
you're the vision that has called me in the night
you're completion of the wonders in my mind
i'm not trying to sound surreal
this is only how i feel
when the rain comes in
i only need you here
'cause you are beautiful
and girl, i am obsessed
oh i can no longer fall
not for anything at all
you are the tourniquet that saved
my bleeding life
and i would die for you were it not
to be alive (with you)
i'm not usually too strong
but in you there is no wrong
when the day is cold
and heavy on my chest
you're still beautiful
and oh so heaven-sent
and i will no longer fall
your touch will keep me warm
oh like a message from a prophet
her voice has emptied my despair
oh Lord, i have trouble just believing
you've got hedonist isolation
you've got a blood-drip naked smile
and the last beat integration
has left your options wild
but the boys all call you edgy
and the girls just call you bitch
when it's down to aggravation
you call it a bitter twist
that you're away from home
so far away from home
you've got airbrushed disillusion
and a body clothed in ash
and you're down on desperation
and building for the crash
but the mysteries are fading
fading day by day
you're so tired of deprivation
and finding things to say
so tired of finding things to say, 'cause
Hid in the Asylum
Waiting on the Lord
Needle's at the front desk
But it never takes that long
Judas of confessions
Broken on my knees
Down on medication
Innocent but always losing sleep
I wait alone
All the lights are turned on
Scalpel in the hand
A minor indiscretion
I feel the harness tightening
Analyse my breathing
The company I keep
Prostitutes and Presidents
Are here in the Asylum losing sleep
I wait alone
Alone
I'm letting go
I'm coming home
Hid in the Asylum
Waiting on the Lord
Needle's at the front desk
But it never takes that long
In the Asylum
I'm letting go
I'm coming home
One more taste of submission
Found it on my television
Cut like you don't believe me
Fallen angel killed me deeply
I'm on that road to nowhere
Bought the suit of disenchantment
You've got the words to heal me
Fallen angel killed me deeply
Don't move, don't think, don't get off the floor
The fever greets me at the same back door
Don't write, don't speak, don't settle the score
You turn, you scream, "what are you down here for?"
I soak up this illusion
You're my new found institution
Thought you would never leave me
Fallen angel killed me deeply
Breathing this socialism
Tied beneath my exhibtion
You had to burn to keep me
Fold my thoughts and heal me sweetly
Don't move, don't think, don't get off the floor
The fever greets me at the same back door
Don't write, don't speak, don't settle the score
You turn, you scream,
"What are you for?"
Radiation like a new born cage
Annihilated on the centre stage
Feed the hungry amphetamines
Drive the lonely in death machines
Burning and turning and burning
Come on and take me
Bleeding, deceiving and bleeding
Come on and take me
Higher than fire for hire
Come on and watch me die
Armageddon style
Deviation like the passing time
Devastation of the one track mind
Lead the weak to needle dreams
It's a holocaust of beauty queens
Burning and turning and burning
Come on and take me
Bleeding, deceiving and bleeding
Come on and make me
Higher than fire for hire
Come on and watch me die
Armageddon style
Broken men have stories and illusions
Hallways seem much darker after loss
Broken men keep meaningless conclusions
Hidden from the rest at any cost
Pale shelter's uniform has never cut so deep
They've got the chloroform and soon they'll have the key
It's the procedure that I do not understand
I've got more time to kill I'll do it by my hand
That bleeding heart - it doesn't suit me
Don't let 'em in don't let 'em hit me
Like an animal animal animal
Animal
They track the steps I take and pick a place to fall
The books I've read just put the spikes above the wall
Public opinion left many good many men wrong
Another vote and all the sheep can sing along
That bleeding heart...
Pale shelter's uniform is nailed into the door
Low culture parasites are breeding on the floor
Angelyn
rise above the bitter end
angelyn
your smile won't let the winter in
I needed you
more than I thought I ever did
won't you just
bring your sweet touch back again
'cos I lied, I lied
angelyn
the morning sun won't rise again
everythig
belongs to where we started it
I'm falling down
more than I could ever stand
angelyn
won't you bring your healing hand
'cos I lied, I lied
kept your world inside
can't take back the years
Down on your fever with a Razor Burn
Can never tell you're a bleeder when you're innocent
And it's a new resolution for a miracle
You've got a poor constitution and you're letting go
Oh that's you
You're always needing proof
You're waiting for the dark
To watch me fall apart
And nothing gets you high
Oh you
You're waiting for the dark
You're down before the start
And everything's a sign
To you
Frozen believer with a Razor Burn
Oh just a casual deceiver and you'll never learn
That the one revolution is to know your name
And that the death of confusion is to see His face
Oh that's you
You're always needing proof
You're waiting for the dark...
And it's over
It's overdue again
Oh your dreams are all in vain
And you need more proof
You need more proof and pain
Down on your fever with a razor burn
Can never tell you're a bleeder when you're innocent
And it's a new resolution for a miracle
You've got a poor constitution and you're letting go
Oh you
Lord
won't you make it go away
i don't need it back some other day
i only think i'm tired
Lord
i am naked in these chains
don't let my doubt restrain me
i only think i'm tired
Lord
oh i once had bigger plans
i once held tender hands
but now the past just lies
Lord
oh i need to find a voice
i need to find a motivation
not to feel so tired
oh Lord!
angels
i see angels
falling at my side
angels
i see angels
falling at my side
and my eyes are open wide
and my arms no longer tied
an illusion has just died
Look away
My precious one
The weight of hurt was fed
to those you feared
Turn away
My only one
Trapped inside my head
you seem to be
Is life worth living
without your body against mine
Is the air worth breathing
without your tiny hand in mine
Is my life worth fighting for
without your arms within mine
Oh is the Amethyst
or is the weight of bliss
And the taste
of your tender skin
leaves my senses scattered
on the titles
And your touch
like compassion's interim
hold me when the dark
claws at my side
like your kiss
Now the last ten steps in silence
His cause upon His shoulders's strength
Feel the burning weight of darkness
Weight of Sacrificial Death
Lacerated, torn and jaded
Dressed in cloaks of mockery
The Jury's cries as Pilate turned and
washed his hands, set satan free
As the crown's blood stained His vision
The spears punctured His slender side
Nails of hatred driven deeply
The Lamb was tortured, sent to die
Now the last ten steps in silence
His cause upon His failing strength
Carried The Cross in silence
The weight of Sacrificial Death
As His throat, dry and forgiving
Of all inflicted unto Him
Limbs tore into suffocation
Spirit sinking, black with sin
Died for me
Died for me
The Lamb died for me
The Lamb died for me
They shall not know
What I have done
I must hide you
My beloved one
From my heart
The painful desire
From my hands
The grand design
From my soul
The life and the fire
Into your flawless eyes
Come to me my child
Come to me the first born
My work is done
Come to me my child
Come to me my first born
Learn and blaze from me
Live from me my son
Open your eyes
Wonder my world
Breathe and arise
It is your turn
Wake up my child
Cold as a stone
The warmth of life
Music: Parland/Sterner
Lyrics: Sterner
My prayers have been answered
I'm no longer a victim of God
I died for the right master
The one that I will serve
They'll believe my soul is resting
But how can they be so wrong
This is where life begins
Where it will be everlasting
As a reincarnated soul
I'm rising in this unholy kingdom
A paradise made for the immortals
Where your corpse shall be our feast
Underneath the blackened ground
An unholy ritual is soon to begin
Gathering for a black mass
As I speak the words of Satan
As darkness falls
Spirits are set free
As darkness falls
Awakening of the dead
From the chalice filled with blood
We drink and increase the immortal power
United in a dance of death
To cause damnation against the false
As you call upon your fake God
Devastation is filling the air
Rising through the gates of hell
Retaliation of the evil ones
As darkness falls *
Spirits are set free
As darkness falls *
Awakening of the dead
* Backing vocals by Tobias Sidegård
Got to find my way back to life
And get away from the decieving light
False promises, the word of god is broken
True believer, now forsaken
No angels Ive seen
Only lies and deceat
Born and raised with behold the glory
And I never questioned their stories
Now at last I have finally woken
From this sleep of holy persistence
So I close the book of Lies
And I see with newborn eyes
The children of the night
Rage flows inside of me
Mind and soul is finally free
Holy father thou who art in heaven
You feed my Hatred, you feed my Vengeance
Mind and soul is finally free
All I sacrificed was lies and deceat
So I Burn the book of lies
This is the day I've always been awaiting
A ray of sun comes into my room
The sleepless nights of former years are ending
And every day falls into a gloom
Where is the torment in my brain - it's so silent
Where is the screaming of my soul
I can't stand it anymore
I'm drowning
I'll be dancing with your soul - in our ancient way
I'll be kissing you today - and our hope is granted
Every minute I am wasting here is agonizing pain
Why should I hesitate to leave
I'm sick of escaping from that cold - I'm still running
The torn thoughts destroyed my mind
The emptiness causes fear and isolation
Transience seems to be a lie
I'll be dancing with your soul - in our ancient way
I'll be kissing you today - and our hope is granted
Every minute I am wasting here is agonizing pain
World is painting me
Crimson lips, chestnut hair
Ivory cheeks
Streaked by
Sapphire tears
Azure Eyes, reach my
Prismic soul
My heart yearns to be called
Well today is the day
I can definately say
That the view from here
Is remarkably clear
There's more to me
Than technology
My time in the shade
Is beginning to fade
As the light grows intense
I'm getting the sense
Took time to see
What's happened to me
It's gonna end right here
(I think I've found the answer)
I'm awakening
Both feet on the ground through the
Misguided fear
I've nothing to fear
It's unconditional
This freedom that I've found
The darkness is gone
And I'm moving on
Night turns into day
All the grays gone away
Heading my own way
When am I here to stay
There's a power in me
Now my spirit is free
I'm in lasting control
And I'm ready to roll
There's more to me
Than technology
My time in the shade
Is beginning to fade
As the light grows intense
I'm getting the sense
Took time to see
What's happened to me
It's gonna end right here
(I think I found the answer)
I'm awakening
Both feet on the ground through the
Misguided fear
I've nothing to fear
It's unconditional
This freedom that I've found
The darkness is gone
And I'm moving on
Nothing can stop me
Don't try to fight it
My heart is beating faster
The sky's the limit
I'm awakening
Both feet on the ground through the
Misguided fear
I've nothing to fear
It's unconditional
This freedom that I've found
The darkness is gone
And I'm moving on
I can't believe it's so hollow in here in this hole
I can't conceive this time is borrowed now
I can't go on anymore
Turn on the lights now, wake me up!
Is there a way to see tomorrow
Is there a picture left to frame
Is there a flower in your garden
Or on the headstone of your grave
I can't erase all of the sorrow the past is gone
But I can change and make tomorrow a vision now
I can hold on
Give me a sign and make me up
IŽ a grown up now
whatever it means
the older I get the more it seems
I›e given up to be afraid
It was a matter of time
just a Milky Way
Not a crisis more like a transformation
another stop on a higher station
and what- the most important part
IŽ standin' up for what I like
Awakening
from within a dream
shifting moments
endless stream
receiving and giving
golden beam
IŽ awake in the truth
I am a dream
IŽ a woman now
and by all means
the stronger I get the less I seem
to be a judge , to fool myself
to live in the now it- all it means
Stick
Like popcorn
every cell is awake
'what used to be real
was just a fake
Chorus
Our hope is fleeting, vanishing without a trace
The constant progressing of their ultimate goal; human enslavement and global control
Breaking down the barriers that define who we are, generalizing us as inferior
Fire is burning in the minds of the vigilant
The collective awakening of those willing to fight against an empire so malevolent
We will not be, slaves to our fate
Only to be labeled unpatriotic, an enemy of the state
This is only the land of the free, as long as it's the land of the brave
We are all born into slavery, but I refuse to die that way
I refuse to die!
Die!
I refuse to die!
Die!
I refuse!
The fires are spreading, they're fueled by our hate
I, I refuse to die
I, I refuse to die
Wild fires now scorch the land, leaving behind only ashes in our wake
Maybe now they'll understand, freedom lays in the choices that we make
I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to watch you fucking burn
I don't want to set the world on fire; I just want to watch you fucking burn
Fucking burn!
A pulse is beating inside the hearts of the brave
A common misunderstanding of the task at hand, reclaiming our rights as Americans
Breaking down the barriers that disguise who they are demonizing the "superior"
[Instrumental]
Jesus Christ our Savior who is the propitiation, the satisfaction if you would, for our sins,
And not just for our sins, but for the sins of the whole world. The blood of Jesus Christ flowed
From seven places. The first place He bleed from, the blood that poured from His head that day.
The blood from the thorns in His skull cleanse you from thoughts, the blood that was on His face
He has covered the things that you may not want to face up to because of what you've seen or
Heard. Know this, the blood fl owed for you. "Yeah, but Jon, you just don't know I've backed away
From the Lord, I've turned my back on him." Well they took a flagellum and they beat His back and
Blood flowed from His back, it reduced to hamburger meat that day, His back was beaten so
Brutally. And if you've turned your back on Him and walked away from Him, know this, the blood,
The blood that poured from His back, cleanses you sprinkles you. "Yeah but Jon, you just don't
Know what I've done with these hands." Those hands were pierced, those hands were pinned to the
Tree, spikes driven through those hands where He bled to cleanse you and cleanse me from the
Stuff that we've handled that we ought not to have handled, the stuff that we've done that we
Ought not to have done. Hey, understand, the blood flowed from His hand. "Yeah but it's stuff
That's inside of me Jon, It's just things that I feel in my gut, I have bitterness towards them,
And I'm angry with her." Jesus wants you to know that blood flowed from His side when they thrust
Th at spear into Him when He hung on the cross. "Feet that walked where I ought not to have
Walked." Blood flowed from His feet too, when the spike pinned Him through the feet, to the cross
Of calvary. And now I realize things that I can't face up to, thoughts that I've had that are not
Right, not good, not true, bitterness inside of me, stuff I've touched that I ought not to touch,
Places I've gone where I ought not to have walked. And I look and I realize the seven-fold
Flowing of the blood of Christ clean ses me in every area from all sin and I'm free, and I'm
Forgiven, by the blood. What can wash away my sin, nothing but the blood of Jesus. Seven times
Mother Earth awaken my sleeping world
open the gates to an unknown land
I spread my tired wings and fly away
and leave behind the weakness of man
Thousand of screams echoe behind
but wihtout fear I touch the sky
Lady of all my sleepless nights
We'll meet beyond the coulds
Now I step unto an other world
into the garden of silent oblivion
The tortured memories slowly fade
as I taste the serpent's poisoned lips
[Lead : Mike]
Weighed down with intuitions under waves of anguish and fear
Our future world is bequeathed a legacy of evil pressage to bear
We must gather our thoughts - Prepare to face a forthcoming fall
Death is life close at hand - A nessecary measury, unleash this call
Pay heed to premonitions - Reveal clear facts to save mankind
Mother earth we've inherited from ancestors time out of mind
Drems of love are shattered - Submission to folly has led us astray
The calm before the storm rearrange what makes man decay
Let's call the awakening
Let's call the awakening
[Lead : Mike & Marco]
We dwell within the measurable (distance of ruin)
Behold the hatred among us all
Twilight, descending from above (seek your shelter)
Beyond the horizon of time
Weighed down with intuitions - Reveal clear facts to save mankind
Our future world is bequeathed - From ancestors time out of mind
Dreams of love are shattered - Prepare to face a forthcoming fall
The calm before the storm - We ought to obey this exhortation
Let's call the awakening
In the hands of a child lies the age of tomorrow
A guidance to our future through sadness and sorrow
World is awaken open my eyes
Heaven above me garden inside
Apples an peaches smelling the air
Smoothing down my hair
There's way of living
Growing the seeds of grace
There's a life in beauty
Lost in a morning haze
There's a life in wisdom
Passion , hunger and fire
There's a way of diving
High above the ground
Like a grain of sand in the desert
I'm a tear in the pouring rain
I'm a willow , mountin above the plain
But I'm being
I'm a spark . I'm a breath of the wind
Ray of light flying up to the stars
I'm a moment trying to conquer the time
But I'm being
Devils and angels, Sun and the Moon
Never too late and never to soon
My hearts is my temple , doors open wide
No need to run and no need to hide
There's a way of living
Fooling the flying sweet precious time
There's a life in beauty
Matter beneath the mind
Like a grain of sand in the desert
I'm a tear in the pouring rain
I'm a willow , mountin above the plain
But I'm being
Shadow my sorrows
Anchor my dreams
Paint my horizon
Yellows and greens
Into the light
I'm winging my way
Never too soon
It's never too late
Like a grain of sand in the desert
I'm a tear in the pouring rain
I'm a willow , mountin above the plain
But I'm being
I'm a spark . I'm a breath of the wind
Ray of light flying up to the stars
I'm a moment trying to conquer the time
It's no use you don't understand
I thought I knew you I was wrong
This is my wale up call
Now that I'm backed against the wall
Nothing you do can take this away
You can't break what I've fucking made
Nothing you do I stare in defiance
Deny your malice surrender my silence
I can't help that you're stuck there
A victim of your abuse
Trapped in this realty
A few steps from the truth
Camouflaged by your lies corrupted
I never liked you in the first place
Your one step closer to crossing the line
It's time you learn some respect
I'm not even going waste my breath
Mother fucker you're a waste of time
Reflecting with anger before the moment gone
It's time to learn some respect
Nothing you can do can take this away
You can't break what I've fucking made
Trapping in reality a few steps from the truth
We are all withered away
In this suffered position
With the choke of truth
The long unseen, the short believed
If this is enough I'll distance my hands
From heaven's touch
I cannot believe my eyes are seeing
The breach of ours undone
Because the road to hell had become far too long
March through the darkest light
Destroy everything in sight
To the bane of our being
All eyes open
March through the darkest light
Destroy everything in sight
To the bane of our being
All eyes open for The Awakening
Decide now if you want in wrong
A shallowing grin is sure to become;
Lies that shift the storm
Become blankets to a man well worn
Ripe with stench and rot
Feeling the burst, awaken with pain
With all to the wayside now
We are destined to be below the freeze
Now that these pages turn
There is nothing but regrets gone distant
So now that these pages burn
It's one more thing that I won't forget
Now that these pages turn
There is nothing but regrets gone distant
So now that these pages burn
It's one more thing that I won't forget
March through the darkest light
Destroy everything in sight
To the bane of our being
All eyes open
March through the darkest light
Destroy everything in sight
To the bane of our being
All eyes open for The Awakening
The Awakening
March through the darkest light
Destroy everything in sight
To the bane of our being
(2:21)

Music: Anders Odden Carl-Michael Eide, Lyrics: Anders Odden
Dig your way to misery
Spark eternal hatred
Burn all bridges
Set it free
Your time here has been altered
Awakening
Free your mind
Insanity made you blind
Awakening
Free your soul
Let your cold winds unfold
See the storm on the horizon
One man against it all
Without fear
Mind control
You are ready for your quest
Awakening
Free your mind
Insanity made you blind
Awakening
Free your soul
Let your cold winds unfold
Bloodline from the Stone Age
Primitive and old
Eyes like reptiles let you see
Brain mass blurs the imagery
I cannot hide from life or death
I want to be alone
My eyes can’t see what you can see
I see no flesh or bones
Dig your way to misery
Spark eternal hatred
Burn all bridges
Set it free
Black Power open the graves,
Death is my killing slave.
Rising souls of Damned,
hide in my Baphomet.
Now I stand ! Now I stand !
In the Gates of Hell
my Fires again burn, my Pride is Great !
A mistery around me
Eminating from the land
Only true kindred spirits
May even hope to understand
A voice I hear which is calling out to me
A message all around when my mind is free
Speaking in whispers thrown from the wind
Out from my surroundings calling out to me
Haunted by the canopy of green
I blaze of blue and emerald fire
A finer sight I've rarely seen
And I dine on awe alone
Swirling ashadows
Dance upon the water still
And sky and cloud vie for prominence
On the surface calm
A lone deed
Creating ripples alike waves
And all along the surface
Now consequence in journey
I breathe I feel my lungs
I breathe I feel my soul
I breathe I fill alive
I am alive!
Green surrounds me
The wind in my hair
Fast flowing waters
The hills and the vales
Ignited by passion
Most purent by far
My life I now fashion
I live for his hour
Free to live
Free to roam
Free to think
Free as the wind
Elation I peel
So hard to comprehend
As i stand alone
Upon Anu's land
I have come home
I have been found
The way it once was
Out of control of a history untold
It begins with the father of sin
I walk alone in the garden of stones
I turn into the monster within
Life is too long for me
Life is too wrong for me
Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
Nothing Times
I lose control as the story unfolds
I have been like a knife to bare skin
I walk alone like a king with no throne
I burn up from the monster within
Life is too long for me
Life is too wrong for me
Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
Nothing Times
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
Cause I have come to need this
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
Cause I have come to need this
Shell
Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
I teach lies
That I miss being human
I teach lies
That I miss being human
I teach lies
Well, all my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
All my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound
Well, the doctor told me, Carl you need no pills.
Yes, the doctor told me, boy, you don't need no pills.
Just a handful of nickels, the juke box will cure your ills.
Well, all my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
All them cats are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound
Well, the old cat bug bit me, man, I don't feel no pain
Yeah, that jitterbug caught me, man, I don't feel no pain.
I still love you baby, but I'll never be the same.
I said, all my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
All my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound
Well, all my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
All them cats are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound
Well, grand-pa Don got rhythm and he threw his crutches down.
Oh the old boy Don got rhythm and blues and he threw that crutches down
Grand-ma, he ain't triflin', well the old boy's rhythm bound.
Well, all them cats are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
All my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound.
A rock bop, rhythm and blues.
A rock bop, rhythm and blues.
A rock rock, rhythm and blues.
A rock rock, rhythm and blues.
Rhythm and blues, it must be goin' round.
Into the night you fled
Betrayed me
Your hollow heart
And luring stare
My blood ran cold
Then I heard him
From far away
A lullaby
Out of my deep despair
My lover sang a melody
He sent a ray of light to me
And saved me from the darkness
'Cause when I heard his voice
It sparked a distant memory
A savior calling out to me
To set me free
How could it be the face
Of an angel
Could drag me down
And leave me blind
Out of my deep despair
My lover sang a melody
He sent a ray of light to me
And saved me from the darkness
'Cause when I heard his voice
It sparked a distant memory
A savior calling out to me
To set me free
I know my heart
Though weary
Must rise again
A new commence
Transcending antecedent
A fierce ascension
Resurrection from hibernation
Now is the time
For a transfer of power
Renascent yearning
Unstoppable ravenous desire
Tremendous outcry
Echoing proclamation
The moment for revolution has come
The time for revival has arrived
Initiating the reconstruction
Right here, right now
Regeneration
Right here, right now
Awakening
Here is the place
For a transfer of power
Hear the sound of masses, their isolated pains
No longer is the wisdom innocence betrays
Sleeping still I may not, visions that we share
Pace along this dark road, wetted by their tears
A prelude to all thoughts that last
Pass on to me all things long past
Watch their dancing silhouettes
Their sad song of what once was
Hear the sound of masses, I surely will prevail
Progressing into nothing, deafened by own will
A prelude to all thoughts they last
Pass on to me all things long past
Watch their dancing silhouettes
Their sad song of what once was
Help if you will, try to fill up my dreams
Please, all I have, hollow sounds, hollow schemes
Form me!
Shocked surprise, the plans you've drawn
Created me, an absurd form
Awakening in time to see
Your icy hands all over me
You're losing me, I will abort
A final scream, a last resort
I'll refuse, you'll stand astound
A your tears stain on the ground
A prelude to all thoughts they last
Pass on to me all things long past
Watch their dancing silhouettes
Listening to the voice coming from the past
Something once so fine, so inspiring
I'm looking back at ages once so vast
Revealing the sound of my soul to weep
Forgiving myself with the future at my feet
Awakwning me
To unleash purity
Leaving me reaching
Awakening me
Awakening me
Foundation strained by willful intentions
Needing to alter what remains
A different perspective reaching the essecne
Leaving me to question a creation
Never ending challenge of evolution
Awakwning me
To unleash purity
Leaving me reaching
Awakening me
Awakening me
At the end, the cycle will sadly regain
Awakwning me
To unleash purity
Leaving me reaching
Awakening me
The winter’s leaves they fall upon the ground,
showing the gray light of the day (awakening)
The view from where I stand begins to change
Something is happening to me
And as the wind blows around me,
her voice calls out to me
Awoke from a dream one cold winter’s day
I saw you there alone
We stood on a hill
The wind weaved through our hair
Came here to take me home
Flakes of snow are cast in symmetry
They say no two are the same (awakening)
Your breath is warm upon my smiling face
No longer a stranger to the truth
And as the wind blows around me,
her embrace protects me
Time keeps passing, people keep moving
The rain keeps falling, sun keeps shining
Permanent flux, continual motion
Rivers keep running into the ocean
Awakening
And as the wind blows around us,
A long time ago when the world was pretty
In a time and place when there were no cities
Life arose in a flash of brilliance
We've come so far but we haven't changed since
Humans have been killing since day one
Your borders change and your empires fall
Countless lives lost and what's been won?
This world was pure once, that time is gone now
Oh, awakening
Fear and destruction, we will be
Sleeping eyes awake to see the world as it is
Fear and destruction, we will be
Brainless tool commanders who sit upon the trigger
Spending money on puppets and guns
They don't hear the cries of anguish that echo
Throughout the hallways of ivory towers
Mankind's time is waning, we've passed up the warnings
Nothing will change the course we are on now
Oh, awakening
Fear and destruction, we will be
Sleeping eyes awake to see the world as it is
Fear and destruction, we will be
Such a paradise that we here enjoy now
Many fought to shape this brave new world
Angels and demons are tossing and turning
This world is full of many shades of gray
You be the judge now, are we doing all we can?
Ignore the signs, listen to the warnings
Oh, awakening
Fear and destruction, we will be
Sleeping eyes awake to see the world as it is
...and when you look around
you will hear an inner silence
you will see the roads you always looked for
in the shade of your fading soul
and when wanting to reach them
you will find the cold weight of the memories
preventing your steps
the supreme light will come,
when you look around
burning and tearing your skin...
I am the outcast in this desolate world,
Humanity has always been the source of this endless pain,
It will never change unless someone is heard.
This will begin with me...
I have control of a history untold
It begins with the father of sin
I walk alone in the garden of stone
I turn into the monster within
Life is too long for me
Life is too long for me
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
I lose control as the story unfolds
It has been like a knife to bare skin
I walk alone like a king with no throne
I burn up from the monster within
Life is too long for me
Life is too long for me
('Cause there's something that
)
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
I like going to pieces
I like going to pieces
I like going to pieces
'Cause I have tried to need this
I like going to pieces
I like going to pieces
'Cause I have tried to need this
*****
('Cause there's something that
)
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
That is life
That I miss being human
That is life
That I miss being human
Out of control of a history untold
It begins with the father of sin
I walk alone in the garden of stones
I turn into the monster within
Life is too long for me
Life is too wrong for me
Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
Nothing Times
I lose control as the story unfolds
I have been like a knife to bare skin
I walk alone like a king with no throne
I burn up from the monster within
Life is too long for me
Life is too wrong for me
Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
Nothing Times
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
Cause I have come to need this
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
Cause I have come to need this
Shell
Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
I teach lies
That I miss being human
I teach lies
That I miss being human
I teach lies
