There is no saviour
Just the presence of your love
There is no saviour
Just a target for my grief
Miss you naked sleeping
Jesus be my man
I'll mirror in your eyes
Guess it's all I can
I'll cross deserts
To be with you
I'll climb mountains
To be with you
Wrote my name on the rocks
For you to see
What is your price?
There is no saviour
Just confinement within the words
There is no saviour
Just a target for my grief
I know you're out there somewhere
Want to be found
Can you see me out there?
Want to be found
I'll cross deserts...
[solo]
There is no saviour
Just the presence of your love
There is no saviour
Just a target for m y grief
Miss you naked sleeping...
I'll cross deserts...
So sad to be leaving
A bitter loss to stay
Your smile is so mysterious
As night at last eat this day
I heard it on the radio
And I heard it from your mouth
Through the walls you told me
That we were heading south
Getting nowhere fast
Escaping in high speed
Don't forget my love
Your demons to feed
I had it here
Until you came
The final structure
A broken frame
Though the flesh to the soul
Nobody else to blame
A cancer of the mind
If you promise to stay here
I'm happy to go blind
Cold - like silver pennies on the eyes
As I rise with the sun
I know I won't
Come home or down
a parasite in my veins an
insect in a
storm your fall becomes my
gain
pathetic fuckin creep you
justify your own little
shattered self through
the way you play yourself
just like a fool the way
youd die for respect
when youre just a fool
your words are falling
like flies to shit man
and that is
why each mans hell
is in a different place
yours are
behind that ruined broken
face
I want to see you fall
apart your end shall be
my existence the godless above
your twisted values I
breathe released from
the chains the indoctrine
of my brain
the seeds of man
misplaced its all inside
me spit forth this feeling
in me expelled from my
within the fields
you walk in you die in
weakened man cries out for god to help him
find his way, searching led astray
until his his dying day
living life on the esasy path
sucking air you never had
not meant to serve your
breed the wait for
heaven ill never need
the air we share has too many worlds
life hypnotized since birth
your existence the shackled
inside your hopeless world
you breathe never free from your
Turn out the lights, but slow
In ice-cold cars we're waiting still
Waiting for the flow
I do my best within the given time
Maybe I'll get there within the given time
Maybe I'll get there without the given time
I see you, king of dirty streets
I'll wait for you, king of dirty sheets
The first love that I ever met
You're the end
The gun to my head
Sticks like burning rubber
Smells like lust and fear
It's pure unspoiled power
A beloved but rusty spear
Maybe I'll get there within the given time...
Sunrise
I'll die in and outside here
Sunrise
Burn my skin my smile
I know you'll take me here
[solo]
Grinds like sand between the teeth
Like sand between the mind
You tried so hard, but got so slow
Long lost friend, you'll end up blind
Maybe I'll get there within the given time...
Turn around, look at me
I'll tell you what's bothering me!
Where's responsibility?
Do we have the same ideas?
The abject sense of humour
That you're trying forcing through
Exceed my patience and I'll might
Point you own gun right at you!
[Chorus:]
Pursuit of a rising necessity
The feelings that nobody believes
Errors in the ways of humanity
Collision of the topics never needed
The intractable attitude
Shows the clear diffidence
Needless talk I can't take
All your so-called friends
Vilification is the symbol of
Your own stupidity
So feel a lot more sensible
When you think you're arguing with me!
[Chorus]
[Lead: Hansen, Schultz]
Take your stupid money
Go to hell, turn my back, I don't care
As long as I'm alive
You'll soon be aware of me
Your way to behave
Show a clear affinity to the scum
So just insult me while you can
I think you'll surely regret your mistake!
manipulated history altered
values built
your tyranny nature waas
your biggest fear
not living ife while its
here
human instinct natures
guilt, 2000 years our
bloods been spilled
the resurrection ethernal life
pointless exsistence
your bible made life serve
the purpose
of living for no reason
I wonder how much. human
waste it took
and still will take before
you realize the deception
of the holy
book that love is real and
and god is telling lies
truth aint spoken
he went lost
the jews. themselves put
jesus on the cross
I give praise to life
itself and nothing else
Instrumental
no time for taking shit
from anyone my day is now
tomorrows still to come
all I have all I trust
is right here right now
no matter how fucked up
things will ever get
there's always one fact
I shall not forget
this is my only chance
all that is real all that I
feel
right here right now
still can we share the gift
what you see is not me
see only what you
wanna see
what I like you despise just
like everything thats not
like you
king in a world of fools
I wonder whats behind that
shell you wear
not that I care it just
seems strange to
me that there's a
scared little fuck inside
the one who tries to
frighten me
you sicken me
and all this time you spent on
hurting me you've
only been killing yourself
for me thank you bitch
jokes on you nothing new
just you never noticed
did you
in a one way make you're
running high blind never
stopped to reality wonder why
the key is yours in the palm of your
hand but where would you go
if you never understand
no one can tell
destiny forms itself with
or without your help
no one can know the pain in
your soul you choose to
live down that hole
weak in spirit waek in mind
in the maze you're running
scared forever blind
to all the things in life
you'd never find
I see myself in you frightened
by the view I can't save you
the demons got you
death unfolds beneath this sun
wasted breedings expire in one
causing lasting delusion
in forsaken relations left behind
(chorus)
deterioate the abject existence...
which incapacitates...
the wonderful soul to last...
when insanity tears our ways apart...
time increases...
forsaken ones...
abusing the prospect to live in sanity...
moribund state...
reminder of my vanity...
turns to selfdestructive haze...
forsaken ones...
devoid seeking human quality
that seems lacking in our excursion
burning waters, fervent pain
mirrors screaming, dark reproach
words that you speak
leave a trembling fear in me
emersion of shallows sympathy
forsaken souls now will fall as one
dementia
never saw the sun
black is filling all sights out there
plaguesome spots, blinding fear
writing r.i.p. after everyone
empty eyes, swallowed death insane
(repeat chorus)
haunting the substantial healthy remains
rampageously fading away
resistance so hopelessly, experience fate
harvest, unending decay
taste forbidden fruits
live out your rampant desire
covered with symptoms confirming end
a thousand questions strap a
leash around your neck
restricting your every move
assuring you no regrets
if I can't be me
release myself I would
choose not to be
im just dying to live
were all just dying to live
I see reason why
what do you think
dedication to the world that
they spoke wich took
all and never gave you
anything but
hope
you reject my hand think you
earned some pride
think you understand just
when time is right
passion supreme
as we collide the moment
rolling with the flow but I
don't know just where the fuck the heading to
no I seek no forgiveness the sins were on
my chest take all the blame myself
been led astray again
I thought I had a friend
alone I whisper the words
I never got to say
I know there's never
gonna be a way no things
aint always that they used to be
the tears of yesterday are filling me
life is a holiday cannot change
my ways this one way
trip to reality what I love
today I might hate the next
love those who deserve and
fuck the rest
no I wont ever let you keep me
down no longer
pushing me the fuck around
I wont let you lead
The second before jumping
The final weight on the trigger
It's the imp of the perverse
The moment before leaving
I was on my way
All strings were gone
I saw you there... didn't speak
I saw you there
So come on
Flick it on, flick it off
The inner switch
The ill switch
The killswitch
Flick it on, flick it off
The rush in red
Pushing, deafening
Don't try to reach what you can't grab
Don't try to hold what you can't trap
Just before leaving you
A little before dying
I heard somebody silently laugh
Near the bed where I was lying
So come on...
Don't try to hold what you can't grab!
[solo]
Eyes wide open
Lost the smile that fits
Afraid to know the name
Of the emptiness behind the lids
With blood comes truth
I tell you fire cleanses all
How am I supposed to speak?
When I can't hear at all
Slippery
Are the rocks of perfection
And lonely the my hands
Shaking
Oh awake me from this trance
With blood comes truth...
I'm here
In panic
In pain
In command
Out inside in here
I'm here
Out of control
Out of body
Out of mind
Desperately in need for someone
Beyond the steel
Anxiously awaiting
Someone behind the wheel
back in the days of misleading thoughts
hopelessly lost
try to refuse it, but it's no use
with emotions tossed
(lead: Hansen)
enfold your double standard ways
that i have observed
just stop your masquerade, 'cause it's all too late
my contempt serves
(chorus)
can't live with this...
absurd temptation...
break free from this...
self condemnation...
such extreme emotions generate hate
and expelled naivety
extinguish the light
i've seen in this bitch
it somewhat blackens explicitly
conceiving myself
that the open wings
were a trustful sign of hope
desperately seeking some kind of confident
but with such things it's hard to cope
left with this dishartening sensation
that with time leads to selfdisdain
another part of my soul is conquered by the desert
which leaves only bitterness to remain
slowly executed are the hopes
as this hibernation seems eternal
staring at the light above
searching for the stairs with the access
(lead: Schultz)
robbed by anxiety
emotions so battered untold
festered my destiny
eternal disgust fills my mocking soul
(lead: Hansen)
consume the tempters hidden world
that cleanse so fake
realize the mess
that oneself made
o, tempt his ways
(repeat chorus)
know you would hate this if
you were here
told me about it while
you were here
all you had you gave while
you were here
id have a chance to repay
if you'd been here
just when you think
you're there the most you
find out then your
doors are closed
I could have been there I
could have been there I
could have died girl with you there
one thing that I learned
don't expect a thing so you
won't get burned
leaving something
loveed you in life
hate you in death the
Is poverty the plague of the new generation?
Economical corruption caused by leaders of oppression
Cheating you with words false and meaningless to them
Fascism and hate is the law they're living for!
Rottenness revealed in the higher men's places
Greed and corruption are shattering the weak
Giving all illusions to their own necessity
If you will survive you must fight on your own!
[Chorus:]
Putridity revealed - interminable destitution
Occurrence concealed - solicitudes expiration
Putridity revealed - interminable destitution
Occurrence concealed - solicitudes expiration
Ruling governments are taking every chance
To destroy, dispose and none will live it through
Shattered ideas, the population is betrayed
Deceived and displeased, criminal reinforcement!
Born to poverty, is this what you expect
From a government of brains to which we all pay?
All tyrannical leaders are chosen by their own
So you'll never live to see a life without greed!
[Chorus]
[Lead: Schultz, Hansen, Schultz, Hansen]
The conditions of life become difficult to see
Will this ever stop or is it just meant to be?
Raging and hating grow fast among the poor
Insurrection of hunger is now a waste of time
Unemployment rises
in the lower social life
A scaring, dreadful subject
which all are talking about
But who will have the strength
and possess the guts it needs
To change this putrid plague
and destroy it for lifetime
[Chorus]
Behind this painted surface the decay is clear to see
Destroying what they can, no nature left behind
Exploitation, greed, corruption, aren't them an end?
Defalcation, need, oppression, this will never change!
The militant development is wasting big amounts
And you know that your money has gone there too
Leave us in the dirt and take all our bucks
Buy more weapons, is this where it lacks?
losing power hating
gaining power loving gaining
power loving
losing power hating
love is what makes us all
keep carrying on what
frees us from all our
sorrows later on it throws
everything back
to you and builds up your
hate for tomorrow
here today gone tomorrow
you heal the wounds I carrry
and make me feel alive
you help me find the spirit
for a while
you possess the power you
possess the power you possess
I find myself struggling for
confidence alone with
batterd feelings this
love was bound to turn to
hate seems our only defence
if you know how will you
show how to beeing you
would leave now if
you cared enough for me
lost your power lost it gave
it all away lost your power
lost it gave it all away
you can't balieve the words I
say somehow you heard it all
before you lost your faith
long time ago you don't
really care no more
I heal the wounds you carry
and make you feel alive I
help you find the spirit
Taste the descending
Moments of amusement and joy
Pulsating nightmares exaggerate
Strikes in pain in the hours of day
Demolish
Now everything is distorted in my mind
Can’t help it now that it’s gone too far
No distinguish between wrong and right
To watch…
The silence without eyes…
To chase time…
In the echoes of my cries…
Taste the descending
Light as the room turns black
My fear just grows enormous
And from confidence I lack
Obfuscate
The preventive ways to go
Invoke the dying sleep
As I’m sinking slow
To watch…
The silence without eyes…
To chase time…
In the echoes of my cries…
Take a look into my world of obfuscation
Beyond insufferable dormancy
A frightened soul so terrified
Where confidence means poverty
Beyond insufferable dormancy
Close in the heavens before me
I wish for a life beyond this dormant point
Taste the descending
Sense to steal our souls
This winter freezing sorrow
Brings death to take it’s toll
To watch…
The silence without eyes…
To chase time…
Back in the days of laughter and fun
We were the perfect to prevent any tears to come
Promising that nothing could ever fail
You weren't ready to receive the final nail
The tiny loss of health would drive someone insane
Fading fast away could only leave some remains
So you meet the fate in which you've never believed
Are you happy now for the things you've achieved?
Now in my mind there's only despair
Could I just go on or did I even care?
Decaying to a world so far from yourself
You're gone by now that's what the rumors tell
The instant kind of pain would drive another insane
Resulted in sending you "The Dying Day"
So you meet the fate in which you've never believed
Are you happy now for the things you've achieved?
The immaterial things you did for me
Reflected in underserved sympathy
Were you certain in the way you acted?
I'm sure it is a brain you lack!
The incessant missing person drove me more insane
Stupidly protecting you from a world of hate
So you meet the fate in which you've never believed
Are you happy now for the things you've achieved?
So my doubt grew fast and more each day
Could I miss one so much or was it meant this way?
Sometimes the chasm of my soul came close
Where were you when I needed you most?
The careless kind of world drove my void insane
But from where should I know that I'd wait in vain?
So I met the fate in which I've never believed
Am I happy now for the things I've achieved?
The anachronism in my carnal thoughts
Gives more depreciation to the dying force
Anxious I prepare the final call
Captious words in my anterior form
[Lead: Schultz]
The cauterized minds of the ethereal need
Makes me forget how much I for you feel
Inveracity hides in your nicest deeds
The persistence of memorial chasm!!!
[Lead: Hansen, Schultz, Hansen]
gaining life in the darkest corners
that no one sees
infinite powers chopping souls in two
falls out from the draining increasing seed
distant traces leading us into temptation
a fainted hidden concious killing inspiration
(pre-chorus):
in a world where the exit can't be found
where the walls close in forcing us forever down
schismatic symptoms
growing strong within our minds
(chorus):
floating hopelessy
breeding endelssly
schismatic injective therapy
survival
a sarcastic hope
suffer massive insanity
changing all from white to black
(lead: Hansen)
extinct ourselves in this selfmade war
where no one learns
the process slow, but yet so effective
leave behind a dying world
twisted faces breathing death in massive doses
as life fades away in giant airy decomposion
(repeat pre-chorus)
(repeat chorus)
(lead: Schultz)
(lead: Hansen)
(bridge)
population joining death
in their crownded tombs
let my whisper end in thunder
as i no longer can't ignore our doom
distant traces leading us into temptation
a fainted hidden concious killing inspiration
(repeat pre-chorus)
(repeat chorus)
drained
left alone in the deepest ocean
defeat
the final 'cause this never ends
(lead: Schultz)
thoughts
a thing that only causes devastation
travel
through schismatic injective therapy
As the silence looms before us
tears are flowing out from our eyes
detatching our frantic desperation
as our stagnant bodies arise
on the haunted path of existence
assuring my severe fate
twisted eyes crying for the end
forever in my mind desolates
(chorus):
memories i lock you up
on the sheets the act was done
now dwells in me
devours me from within
but you can't see
memories paint you black
never to stand in my mind again
but in my sleep control is lost
you're back again
memories i disgust you
because you're in me
you're in me
'til the end of time
excursion demise
a place where time stands still
feel the sickening disgrace
abandonment of humanity
hateful flames pumping inner rain
filling me as i go insane
no salvation just a hopeless spite
excursion demise
lives are taken tasting gruesome plight
excursion demise
for sick passions paying brutal death
in torment you fly
excursion demise
on the haunted path of existence
assuring my severe fate
twisted eyes crying for the end
forever in my mind desolates
You've got this weird feeling of fear
That someone's watching you close
You must demean yourself to calm it
Down with some stuff of sickening chill
But an explicit, deceptive effect
Forces you to take more
It's the fictitious world you're dying in
So death is condign!
[Chorus:]
Please point out the way that's right
Please bring me a nice dream this night
One that can relief my questions
The one of life alterations!
It seems like I am the only one to care
But I'm not the one to blame
Are you just careless concerning your own health?
Or have you just lost your sense?
How can I hide that I'm so tired of
The carefree deaf humanity
When the punishment, decay and disease
Are beyond all your beliefs!
[Chorus]
[Lead: Schultz, Hansen, Schultz, Hansen]
Why do I have so many questions
And not one single answer to them?
I am so helpless alone here
And yet it's crowded up
Nobody to call my inner self
And make me wake up
I am dying slowly from deep within
Do you have a space for me?
[Chorus]
Why haven't anyone told me all
And everything about life?
Just about the womb from where I was born
Is there anyone to blame?
Is heaven a place for those who prey
And not for some like me?
Why not entomb me in a hole
And I'll just rot in peace?
[Chorus]
Everywhere I see it
It's in every lost and dirty room
In every sparkling city
Beyond the lust and gloom
We all writhe in spit
To the sound of cracking whips
Like water to the thirsty
I lick the lies from your lips
I'll shine for you
I'll writhe for you
If you want me to
I'll die for you
As the sun sets
I know I'll be there somehow
Writhing in spit
Bleeding
Writhing in spit
Momentarily so delightful
With a scent of early fall
This self-induced slavery
Will mute your every call
We all writhe in spit
With the taste of sweet defeat
Like water to the thirsty
I lick the lies from your lips
I'll shine for you...
We all writhe in spit
[solo]
Horizons, I seek thee
Bring forth my ecstasy
The tempters touch too strong for me
As I flow into the ocean
That brings to life emotions
Far beyond control of mine
... Embraced the curse...
Passion... Come to me
Attraction... My motivation, grace
Like skies collide, two souls will writhe
In the ultimate harmony
Upon my skin, unable to give in
For his almighty ecstasy
[Chorus:]
To stare into the face of death
Set the animal inside me free
To experience the unknown
I shall be doomed to be
As I sank into the ocean
Distinct from my emotions
I lost my life down in the sands
Breeding sin, blossom within
You chose my lethal fate
Countin days to my breathings end
Dark winter enters me
... Revenge!!!
[Chorus]
And on this last day
I cry for release from my
Dormant of pain
Tice blue pearls
The terror of the kiss
You're the reason I'm high
Presence of guilt, the meaning of bliss
Forever enmeshed
So sweet this is
It's the chemistry of restlessness
A dream in bone white
Cyanide to the soul
This instant hunger
It's the chemistry of restlessness
All bound to the soil
The soil of the heart
I'll be there waiting for you
Will you come? Breathing you
I'm flying, searching...
It's a matter of seconds
A matter of years
I am, if just for now
A better man for your priceless smile
If not this what will make me last?
I take all the blame, after all I invited it in
Cyanide to the soul...
I'm falling, searching
[solo]
Inside these walls of sleep I rest
for ages now I must have failed my quest
perpetual roads I travelled
circulated in the sphere of evermore
too many sights I saw
the wasteland I inhaled of nevermore
in rain or fire I flew on through blackened skies
how could I stop this lonely journey now
it has only just begun
someday I know I'll meet, the company I seek
to join the last and only one
through the nether to the sun
something appears, my view is paralyzed
friend or foe I know I need them pacified
this obstacle before me I must pass
come too far now, I can't go back
the infirmity of it just make me laugh
so undisturbed I practiced my trespass
inside these walls of sleep
eternal isolation manifests
I fear the next trespass
The words you hear me speak,
in streams out from my eyes
the state of mind I seek,
in bitterness I reply
I've seen it all, the rotting face
of a world that once was
who am I to betray myself
when just to hope seems absurd
breed of sin, man's final creation
embrace the fact of the world's cremation
why pray for better days...
the peace they'll never raise
I was born in a house
Of glass and silver floors
There were so many people
Wearing masks
One question with two answers
I asked...
I was born in a house
Of glass and silver floors
There were so many people
Wearing masks
One question with two answers
I asked...
Anywhere is better than here
Away from you
Breed me, breed me
Give me away
Lie to me, lie to me
Give me away
What do you say?
Just you and I
South on the five
For a couple of days?
You take your car
I'll take my bag
You take the wheel
I'll gather money
For gas
Anywhere is better than here
Away from you
Breed me, breed me
Give me away
Lie to me, lie to me
Give me away
Danny...
Oh Danny [x4]
I was born to be given away...
Breed me, breed me
Give me away
Lie to me, lie to me
Give me away
They told me...
A little boy who had been wearing my face
[solo]
I'm sorry for bringing you here
My voice just a futile sound
I'm the ceramic man
Who will love me when you're not around?
It's the fuel of the lonely hearts, and my stone cold
hands
For days for hours, it's all right
It's under the skin, but it's all right
As long as I'm here
Who will love me when you're not around?
As long as I am here
Hard to come, hell to go
Under the skin it is - under the skin
It's under the sin - for you it's waiting
All made of clay, just try not to worry
Hollowed for the glory of today
If I don't make it back there...
Lift me up and take me home
Forgive me the things that I have done
I'm the ceramic man
Who will love me when you're not around?
Could not help it, I just want you
Under the skin it is - under the skin...
If I don't make it back there
I am sure you will understand
[solo]
Under the skin it is - under the skin...
All made of clay, just try not to worry
Hollowed for the glory of today
If I don't make it back there
I am sure you will understand
Now in my hand it lies, a faith that slowly dies
I can only observe and cry
and hope for better days
I can't cope with the shit I walk in everyday
I feel it coming, I see the tendency
of things that weren't meant to be
I see a man by my side, commiting suicide
and it's only just begun as we start to run
...and I've had it up to here...
inside it's burning strong,
seems like I've swallowed the heat of the sun
but I can't shine, I try to smile but I fail
doesn't work in this social hell
where the weed of existence grow
as no one seems to care we just let it go
while a parasite's getting fat on another's death
they will grow until nothing's left
slipping into the eternal fall
we've reached the end for all
can't you see the panic in yourselves?
as I look outside I'm scared of what I see
helplessly we watch this become our destiny
Soon the invocation calls,
The angels bring forth locust swarms
To a world in chaos, sent to terminate
Those who do not bear his sign
They will not be there
After apocalypse dai it's all too late
[Chorus]
Doomsday... I'll penetrate the war,
A penchant lurks in obscure
To save them from themselves
Will cause a greater fear
Yet known to the world,
They don't see their time is near
Spoken prophecy, repent; to the land beyond
We shall transhend
For the final gathering of the end
Yes take my hand, we'll all make it through
To the secret land
...So short of hope...
falling through the mist,
my collision with the walls of eternity
in the mountain's hazy dephts, I slip onto thee
In the distance I wept, my presence discended
that night I lost something
inside I felt nothing
from my skull it rains in red
never knew what the signs said
burns into my hands and feet , the air
please God, let not my destiny be theirs
close my eyes again,
praying for this nightmare to end
only further I fall
this dormant suffering that could not be awakened
the pain they were to cause,
for they had been forsaken
and so their presence faded as I saw them fly away
somehow I wished that I was one of them
search my soul in distraction,
I can't help it I am drowning in myself
glide so easily between my eyes into my skull
I know now I shall be lost forever
Distortion
I'm twisting and turning wash off all my sins
Contortion
Forgive me, though I bear the cross on my wings
I loved and lied to be forgiven
Threw away the chance of being released by you
A fatal step - the words of desperation
So please forgive me, I'm on my knees
So heal me father
Though I don't deserve your grace
"...all is forgiven"
"Forgiven is not forgotten, Ill return your sins as an evil deed..."
Deception
I breathe in the guilt, I myself is to blame
Redemption
You're bound to forgive me again and again
My life reflects: It's misery
I'll have to end this failure of life I am
A giant step, though small for you
So please forgive me, I'm on my knees
I'm begging please
So heal me father...
Heal me father for I have sinned
Please forgive me - I'm on my knees
Heal me

Culmination
So there I went into the hands of fate
Frustration
I trusted in you to take away the pain
There is no saviour
Just the presence of your love
There is no saviour
Just a target for my grief
Miss you naked sleeping
Jesus be my man
I'll mirror in your eyes
Guess it's all I can
I'll cross deserts
To be with you
I'll climb mountains
To be with you
Wrote my name on the rocks
For you to see
What is your price?
There is no saviour
Just confinement within the words
There is no saviour
Just a target for my grief
I know you're out there somewhere
Want to be found
Can you see me out there?
Want to be found
I'll cross deserts...
[solo]
There is no saviour
Just the presence of your love
There is no saviour
Just a target for m y grief
Miss you naked sleeping...
Your lips are violent, no one will win
I can tell it from the look in your eyes
From the smell of leather on your skin
Here it comes, sparkling, I'm on my knees
I guess you know lust from greed
Sadly it's in empty rooms that we all bleed
Speak to me!
In the language of the lovers
Speak to me!
The language of the dead
I'm silver spit, I'm a sitting target
You can tell it from the look in my eyes
Have you ever heard the sound of disappointment?
Here it comes
Infatuation is my only crime
I guess you know lust from greed...
Speak to me!
In the language of the lovers
Speak to me!
The language of the head
Who's gonna take me home but you?
Will there ever be another time?
