Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' true,
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn.
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico
Or maybe the coast of Californ.
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
We'll meet another day, another time.
It ain't the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
But my true love who's bound to stay behind.
Oh the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail.
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west,
Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail.
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
We'll meet another day, another time.
It ain't the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
But my true love who's bound to stay behind.
I will write you a letter from time to time,
As I'm ramblin' you can travel with me too.
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love,
I will send what I learn back home to you.
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
We'll meet another day, another time.
It ain't the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
But my true love who's bound to stay behind.
I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles,
Be them somebody else's or my own.
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high,
I will travel unnoticed and unknown.
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
We'll meet another day, another time.
It ain't the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
But my true love who's bound to stay behind.
I've heard tell of a town where I might as well be
bound,
It's down around the old Mexican plains.
They say that the people are all friendly there
And all they ask of you is your name.
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
We'll meet another day, another time.
It ain't the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
Fare thee well, my brother, please don't stand in my way
I'm goin' down to that dirty town no matter what you say
You fooled me and you ruled me and you played in every part
I gotta go it's no use me stayin' home
Goodbye, my sister, please don't let me see you cry
Gonna be a star some day no matter what they say
And when you hear the crowd's all callin' and shoutin' out my name
'Til then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied
So long sweet Melinda, don't forget that you're, my girl
Gonna dress you fine and if you give me time
Make you proud like I said, I would
If the Champs Elysees is no fallacy
If I find the world looks like it should
Candy cars, movie stars, street bars then I could stay a while
Well, I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
And I'll miss you all
Even though you're tryin' to hold me back
Farewell, all my family, don't you know I mean you so well
Please appreciate I must make a break just to see what I can do
The stage is set so understand I can't hide in the wings no more
I've got to go now it's no use me stayin' home
All I can say is I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
And I think I'm always gonna miss you
And I love you always I think I'm always gonna miss you
Even though you're tryin' to hold me back
And I love you and I miss you
You don't get no mail you know I'm in jail
You don't get no mail you know I'm in jail
Bob Dylan
Fare thee well, my own true love. I'm leavin' the first hour of the morn.
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico and maybe the coast of Californ.
Chorus:
So, fare thee well, my own true love. We'll meet another day, another time.
It's not the leavin' that's grievin' me, but my true love who's bound to stay behind.
The weather is against me and the wind blows hard and the rain, she's a-turnin' into hail,
But I still might strike it lucky on a highway going West or ridin' on a fast movin' train.
I'll write you a letter from time to time. As I ramble you can travel with me, too.
With my hands in my head and my heart, my love, I will send what I know back home to you.
This line above doesn't seem to make much sense
(Chorus)
There's a place I've heard of where I might as well go. It's down in the heart of Mexico.
They say that the people are all friendly down there. All they ask of you is your name.
I'll tell you of the laughter and the troubles be their somebody else's or my own.
With my hands in my pocket and my coat collar high, I will travel unnoticed and unknown.
"I now will tell you all a story,
That no one ever heard before.
It is the tale about the fury,
Remember wisdom is your strength.
It said you're such a fool
Just let my evil rule
*Chorus*
No, it's burning like a flame,
Now nothing seems the same.
I've lost control of mind and body
My soul is in its hand
It's wish is my command.
Enslaved forever by the fury,
By the fury, no!
At first it came to me in visions,
And that was filling me with pain
And when my fear became desire,
To let the demon burn my soul.
It said "Don't fight in vain,"
"I'll make you love the pain."
*Chorus*
No, it's burning like a flame,
Now nothing seems the same.
I've lost control of mind and body
My soul is in its hand
It's wish is my command.
Enslaved forever by the fury,
By the fury, no!
I now have told you all my story
And still for you its not too late.
Don't draw your sword
Just use your wisdom
And never let this be your fate.
Oh, no it's here again,
This demon loves the pain.
*Chorus*
No, it's burning like a flame,
Now nothing seems the same.
I've lost control of mind and body
My soul is in its hand
It's wish is my command.
Enslaved forever by the fury,
By the fury, no!
[Rihanna]
Wherever you're going
I wanna go
Wherever you're heading
Can you let me know
I don't mind catching up
I'm on my way
Just can't take the thought of you miles away
And I know you’re going somewhere to make a better life
I hope that you find it on the first try
And even though it kills me
That you have to go
I know it'll be sadder
If you never hit the road
So farewell!
[Chorus]
Somebody is gonna miss you
Farewell
Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
That somebody is me
[Rihanna]
I will write to tell you what's going on
But you won't miss nothing but the same old song
If you don't mind catching up
I'll spend the day telling you stories about a land far away
But I know
And I know you’re going somewhere to make a better life
I hope that you find it on the first try
And even though it kills me
That you have to go
I know it'll be sadder
If you never hit the road
So farewell!
[Chorus]
Somebody is gonna miss you
Farewell
Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
Farewell
Somebody is gonna miss you
Farewell
Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
That somebody is me
[Bridge]
And I'm gon' try to hold it all in
Try to hold back my tears
So it don't make you stay here
I'mma try to be a big girl now
Cause I don't wanna be the reason you don't leave
Farewell
[Chorus]
Somebody is gonna miss you
Farewell
Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
Farewell
Somebody is gonna miss you
Farewell
Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
Farewell
Winter's close...and the mountain high
I'll start my journey now
On this planet we call Earth we belong
I want to know
Why did god make me feel
There is more to be answered
Maybe god cannot remedy
Our souls is he tried
I seek piece of mind at least
And to know I did my best
I will pray for those I have loved
I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away
No one holds the only truth in his hand
So who am I
To defy even god
In quest for a reason
There's no time to waste I'm afraid
I must take your farewell
Carried by destiny
Bound to obey
I must take your farewell
Trails of discovery
Lead me an ocean away
So far away
When the tide is high
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so very much... We've got one really nice tip we'd like to belong(?) to you, if it's at all possible, anything you can do to give us a hand to leave this area somewhat the way we found it, I don't think it'll ever be quite the same. But somewhat the way we found it certainly would be appreciated. It's been a delight seeing you. May we wish you anything that the person next to you wishes for you. Good wishes, good day and a good life... Thank You.
All these helpless fallen angels
Evading commonplace
Dreading a thousand nameless evils
In the dark shimmering rays
The one with all the intuition
Knows now there's nothing gained
This cycle needs no repetition
I simply move away
Farewell affectionate brothers,
you won't see me again
Farewell affectionate brothers,
you won't hear me again
All in all , it's all forgotten
there's beauty in decay
Like the sun's tears in heaven
Calls back the castaway
Farewell affectionate brothers,
I won't see you again
Farewell affectionate brothers,
I cast my cares away Farewell
affectionate brothers,
I won't see you again
Farewell affectionate brothers,
We used to be frightened and scared to try
Of things we don't really understand why
We laugh for a moment and start to cry
We were crazy
Now that the end is already here
We reminisce 'bout old yells and cheers
Even if our last hurrahs were never clear
[Chorus:]
Farewell to you, my friends
We'll see each other again
Don't cry 'cause it's not the end of everything
I may be miles away
But here is where my heart will stay
With you
My friends, with you
Yesterday's treasure, today is here
Tomorrow on its way, the sky is clear
Thank you for the memories
Of all the laughter and tears
And not to mention our doubts and our fears
The hypertension we gave to our peers
It's really funny to look back
After all of these years
Farewell to you, my friends
We'll see each other again
Don't cry 'cause it's not the end of everything
I may be miles away
But here is where my heart will stay
With you
My friends, with you
[Chorus 2:]
Farewell to you, my friends
We'll see each other again
Don't worry 'cause it's not the end of everything
I may be oceans away
But here is where my heart will stay
With you
My friends, with you
With you, my friends
Music / Lyrics: Schlchter
Do you remember
How we used to play like kids in the sun
Nowadays, there's no light to see
And we're feeling cold
So the time has come
To say farewell my friends
My fate is calling loud
Now I know - it can get tough
And I don't you know where I'll be tomorrow
Do you - do you wanna know it
I don't care about it
Somebody said that we could never ever die
Oh what a lie
You will see the light again
We'll all be free someday:
I know - 'cause united we stand
Goodbye my friends, I'm leaving you today
My quest is hard, but I must be on my way
Now, don't ask why
Goodbye dear friends
Solo: Dirk
Don't you try and stop me
All I know is: I have to go!
There'll be no sense in my life at all
If I stay
You will never see it - you will never find it
Oh yes I will!
Someone will take my place if I DIE!
An old man said:
Some years ago; they've tried it all before
Some men of honour left
And searched for that land
They did not return. Now it's up to you
To play a better game - remember
When you're out there
Don't look back at all
Goodbye my firends, I'm leaving you today
The quest is hard,
I hope I'll find a way home one day
Good my friends, I'm leaving you today
The quest is hard
I know I find a way home one day
You will see the light of day
We'll all be free again
All that's left to say is FAREWELL
(music: Laihiala & Sentenced, Lyrics: Laihiala)
I've dragged myself through the blood and mud
and with burning eyes pushed the love away...
No I'm not the kind of man who'd play for keeps...
The enchantment lies in the moment of goodbyes
For eternity...
My sun has set down
I dream to flee...
As I suffer "the black" bleed in me
I regret every single day I've ever lived in my life
I gave all I had in me... so it's time to say Goodbye
The breath of wind beneath my beating wings
is slowly dying down...
Yet raging its final blow!
As it crumbles down... my castle in the air
The relieving words of farewell end my earthly Hell
For eternity...
My sun has set down
It has ceased to be...
The lightning that once burned in me
I regret every single day I've ever lived in my life
One dark and stormy winters night
The snow lay on the ground
The sailor boy strode on the wharf
And the ship was eastward bound
His sweetheart standing by his side
Shed many a bitter tear
And as he pressed her to his breast
He whispered in her ear
Was any fail the ship set sail
His love was standing by
She watched the vessel out of sight
And the tears bedimmed her eye
She prayed to him and heaven above
To guide him on his way
And all the parting words that night
Still echoed loud round the bay
Farewell Farewell my own true love
May this grief for me till sore
And you will be my guiding light
Till I return once more
My thoughts will be with you my love
When the storm is raging high
So farewell, farewell, remember me
Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boy
So farewell farewell my own true love
On earth we live no longer
patiently tell heaven above
I'll be back to tell you sure
I hope to meet you in the land
From far beyond the sky
Where you know what the parts are from
Thy faithful sailor boy
This grief it makes me sore
And you will be my guiding light
Till I return once more
My thoughts will be with you my love
When the storm is raging high
So farewell, farewell, remember me
My faithful sailor boy, my faithful sailor boy
[Gabriel]
Days had come, winters had gone,
and we gamboled like siblings in Paradise.
I was your knight, holding you tight
as a brother when I saw your crying eyes.
Time went by and we had to say goodbye.
Staring up to the clouds above
Children - so little and sad.
Hoping the saints could help one day
Lead us together again.
Holding the key to the alley of dreams
still in hands.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
[Anna]
Stepbrother tell me where have you been
when they brought me to this godforsaken place.
Sign of the cross - they took me away
for healing with herbs by the way of grace.
Now I wait for the day to feed the flames.
[Gabriel]
I have been caught in a cage of despair.
My heart as a monk's cell so empty and bare.
But no holy water can make me
forget you again...
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
[Lugaid]
No farewell could be the last one.
Together we march in time
Forever for the kingdom
Farewell to everyone
Brothers we are wild on the run
Riding high the final Race
We' ve never done before
Challenging our destiny
Brothers we are wild on the run
We carry on to make our way
Make our dreams come true
Gliding into another day
The world is our home
Welcome to the dome of pleasure
Welcome to the hall of fame
Farewell to everyone
Farewell again
Fly to survive, right to the sky
Believe in the spell of the dawning day
Fly to survive, right to the sky
High on the wings of insanity
Living in our wonderland
We never had before
We return to fantasy
Farewell to Tarwathie
Adieu Mormond Hill
And the dear land of Crimmond
I bid you farewell
I'm bound off for Greenland
And ready to sail
In hopes to find riches
In hunting the whale
Farewell to my comrades
For a while we must part
And likewise the dear lass
Who first won my heart
The cold coast of Greenland
My love will not chill
And the longer my absence
More loving she'll feel
Our ship is well rigged
And she's ready to sail
The crew they are anxious
To follow the whale
Where the icebergs do float
And the stormy winds blow
Where the land and the ocean
Is covered with snow
The cold coast of Greenland
Is barren and bare
No see time nor harvest
Is ever known there
And the birds here sing sweetly
In mountain and dale
But there's no bird in Greenland
To sing to the whale
There is no habitation
For a man to live there
And the king of that country
Is the fierce Greenland bear
And there'll be no temptation
To tarry long there
With our ship under full
We will homeward repair
Farewell to Tarwathie
Adieu Mormond Hill
And the dear land of Crimmond
I bid you farewell
I'm bound off for Greenland
And ready to sail
In hopes to find riches
I'm telling myself so I'll know
I speak to my heart like a daughter
Sometimes it's hard to let go
And sometimes the staying is harder
So farewell broken heart
This is where we must part
Fare thee well cloudy days
Moods of blue, shades of gray
I thought I've heard love loud and clear
It said it would be mine if only
I learn to let go of my fear
And cradle the hope of what could be
So farewell broken heart
This is where we must part
Fare thee well cloudy days
Moods of blue, shades of gray
Rain go away
Don't come again
So farewell broken heart
This is where we must part
And fare thee well cloudy days
Moods of blue, shades of gray
So farewell broken heart
This is where we must part
And fare thee well cloudy days
Moods of blue, shades of gray
I'm telling myself so I'll know
Party over here, party over here
Party
Party over here, party over here
Party
Party over here, party over here
Party
Party over here, party over here
Party
Party over here, party over here
Party
Party over here, party over here
Party
Party over here, party over here
Party
Party over here, party over here
(Chris Dreja / Jim McCarty / Jeff Beck / Keith Relf / Paul Samwell-Smith)
Looking at the world around,
For the very first time.
Never seen it all before,
Hope it's not all mine.
On Monday morning all alone,
I woke within my house of stone.
I ventured forth unto the day,
These things I saw upon my way.
Trees and flowers were wrapped around,
With people's castoffs on the ground.
Roads and noise of glass and steel,
And people snared within the wheel.
Tuesday looked into the sky,
Where birds in peace were left to fly.
Thunder rolled and lightning flashed,
I watched the world as people dashed.
Friday's sadness began to creep,
Upon me like the deepest sleep.
It seemed that only I could see,
Just what my world would finally be.
On Sunday back inside my room,
I draw the blinds, 'tis afternoon.
I let my mind find its own ways,
Farewell to future days.
you've been hurt so many times
you always seemed to buy their lies
but that's all gone
forget your past
go on and dry those tears
now come with me
I'll take you someplace safe
the world is cold and so alone
we've got no place to call our own
but I don't care
come run with me
and we will find a way
believe me now
I'll take you someplace safe
will you take my hand
'cause nothing never ever lasts
I'll seal our love for eternity
but I don't care
come run with me
and we will find a way
believe me now
I'll take you someplace safe
will you take my hand
'cause nothing never ever lasts

Lugaid:
No farewell could be the last one.
There was a time when I was satisfied
There was a time when everything felt right
But now's the time for me to decide
And I've only got one solution in sight
Don't know where I'm going
But I know it feels right
And though my feelings are showing
I'm not afraid, it's alright
So long, farewell, I've got to go, yeah
Be strong, be well, I want you to know
That maybe we'll meet someday
Should I stay or should I go?
It was not easy to decide
But you told me, I already know
I guess you wondered why I lied
Don't know where I'm going
But I know it feels right
And though my feelings are showing
I'm not afraid, it's alright
So long, farewell, I've got to go, yeah
Be strong, be well, I want you to know
That maybe we'll meet someday
Meet someday
I don't know where I'm going
But I know it feels right
And though my feelings are showing
I'm not afraid, it's alright
So long, farewell, I've got to go, yeah
Be strong, be well, I want you to know
So long, farewell, I've got to go, yeah
Be strong, be well, I want you to know
So long, farewell, I've got to go, yeah
Be strong, be well, I want you to know
So long, farewell, I've got to go, yeah
Be strong, be well, I want you to know
So long, farewell, I've got to go, yeah
Be strong, be well, I want you to know
One more kiss, dear
One more sigh
Only this, dear
It's goodbye
For our love is such pain
And such pleasure
And I'll treasure till I die
So for now, dear
Aurevoir, madame
But I'm how-d'ye, not farewell
For in time we may have a love's glory
Our love story to tell
Just as every autumn
Leaves fall from the tree
Tumble to the ground and die
So in the springtime
Like sweet memories
They will return as will I
Like the sun, dear
Upon high
We'll return, dear
To the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow goodbye
One more kiss, dear
One more sigh
Only this, dear
Is goodbye
For our love is such passion
And such pleasure
And I'll treasure till I die
Like the sun, dear
Upon high
We'll return, dear
To the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
was i bewitched by the thin red line
and let it snip the silver twine
i stare in silence
that is mine
discomfort of my silent fear, so icy cold,
yet somehow seems to sear my soul
until the ache's too much to bear,
as mortal life now disappears
to steal sweet youth before it turned to gold.
existence now is not what i was told;
wastelands of sorrow, i welcome all i receive
blood before tears, you will see
cold and redundant, i deserve everything i get
what joy, want for nothing
sweet rapture for i am nothing
[Chorus:]
Farewell i'll miss you
Never forget you
Someday we'll meet again and
Farewell will be no more
[Verse 1:]
Reaching the lost
No matter the cost
Is my hearts desire
Time soon will come
When all work is done
And i'll have to say
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Now i hope you have learnd
That love can't be earned
But shared amongst each other
In your hearts i will stay
Until that great day
When i shall return
But until then
[Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
Farewell for now my love
I have to go away
Don't be afraid my love
I'm near, i'm always there
[Words: Makinen]
[Music: Keranen]
Shadow lies bloodless on the hill
Frozen in the night of forgiven
Ceased to exist, in one life
As only the memory that remains
In the woods, where's eternity?
I sit in the valley of greed and daylight
Love to the stars and my Elven-dryad
My own savior, angel of night, my betrothed
For aeons I was with you, my friends
Amongst the mortals in their dreams
Burned out in the one star's end
Among enlightened thousands shining
[Chorus:]
Gazing from the sky, night in my eyes
As Elf I watch you, in my memories
So bright, doomed to die in starlight
Eternally I walk in the twilight
And bright are the stars that smile on me
And great is the joy I had with you
And remember me as the wolf that stares
With love, in the forest of dreams
With yellow eyes, all wise with color of Grey
So many times I was a stranger with you
Just a tiny little shadow that frightened
All days and nights, ran away in the rain
Where the trees are living and flowers are blue
It's long gone, gone away
Words were almost lost and gone
I felt it was far away; even if it was near
I felt I could reach at least
Ready made answers are here,
sitting like a gu deposit
And always tries to deliver
I turn away from those kind of things
Get up and go, my will
Just wave a good-bye
There is a voice deep inside, and it’s telling me to go
Far too long I have tried to heal, but I know it’s time
for a change
Hold on to your dreams, don’t ever let them fade away
Because you only got one life
Even though I'm leaving here today, I won’t forget about
yesterday
And you will always be in my heart
But this is farewell
All the years I spent with you, is something I will never
regret
Your memory will never die, but now it’s time to say
Lucifer & Him
Him:
"Lucifer race whispers in silence
Condemned to stand on the gallows of violence"
Lucifer:
"The heroes die with a smile upon their face and why'd you call my golden rays Horns?"
Bless the night hear my cryin'
All the days in your life
Lust of mind Heavens dying
Son of my dark dawn
Where's my life? Here in my arms
Where's my blame? Here in my soul
Help me to hate you while I'm goin' away from you...
Him:
"Lucifer race whispers in silence
Condemned to fight and leave the world insane"
Lucifer:
"I'll be the one that carries faith in life and lead in the dark of our upcoming lives"
Blasted mind sinful lies
Can becloud our life light,
Lord of disgrace
Sacrificed and
Melodies delight
Where's my life? Here in my arms
Where's my blame? Here in my soul
Farewell so long
'Cause I was wrong I guess
Farewell so long
'Cause I was wrong I confess
I miss the way you
I miss the way you danced with me
I miss the way you
I miss the way you danced with me
So farewell my love
'Cause I was wrong I guess
Farewell so long
'Cause I was wrong I confess
I miss the way you
I miss the way you sing with me
I miss the way you
I miss the way you sing with me
I never asked you for sailboat in the yard
That fancy dress to wear
Ceiling made of stars
And all I got was just this broken heart from you
Grey stars loose their light before I turned
The present to the past
Screaming children make me wonder
Where all expressions laid
A preacher's fairy-tale that makes me cry
And there''s no easy way out to flee the pain
Still hold a place for you in my heart
I''ll go somewhere on my own
Just somewhere I belong
Somewhere out there for me
I sometimes felt that my life was a misery
I couldn''t find my place here ending my destiny
Don''t say a word, don''t try to step me
So do you realize that I am already damned
Towards the land of far away
Lighting up the sky
There''s nothing here to celebrate
Silence''s reigning in the wild
So I am a vagabond riding the universe
Diving into eternity
I am biding you farewell
Cause I will never back again
And if the night belongs to lovers
The twilight belongs to me
I carry on all alone but my soul still remains
Singing loud to save my honour
Delivery is near
Passing through the stars forever we are free
And there''s no easy way out to flee the pain
Still hold a place for you in my heart
I''ll go somewhere on my own
Just somewhere I belong
Somewhere out the for me
Solo: Corbiaux / Lapauze
And there''s no easy way out to flee the pain
Still hold a place for you in my heart
I''ll go somewhere on my own
Just somewhere I belong
Who can find you clear springs of waters, but I can!
Who can tell you the age of the moon, but I can!
Who can call the fish from the depths of the see, yes I can!
Who can change the shapes of the hills and the headlands, I can!
I have been a sword in the hand,
I have been a shield in a fight,
I have been the string of a harp,
I can shift my shape like a god.
Farewell, leave the shore to an ocean wide and untamed
Hold your shield high, let the wind bring your enemy your nightmare
By the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and
Far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain.
"This is my hour. Do you not know death when you see it? Die now!"
Whatever this becomes
Whatever words I say
We are the fortunate ones...
And when the days are done
I won't forget
All I see in you and me
Is a light in the dark of humanity
And when the days are done
I won't forget
Timid steps - come walk with me
And with your useless words
Come talk to me
There are broken hearts
Now on your stereo
But the broken beats are just too slow
You'll cry - it doesn't change a thing
Kill the lights - and let the rain fall
Recall - the memories
Of yesterdays and better ways
And know - the innocence is gone...
Move on - from this day on
We'll never be the same...
The saddest songs
Make sense to me...
So with your sunken eyes
Come talk to me
Two hour drives
Are two hours alone
But two hour drives
Are better than home
You'll die - it doesn't change a thing
You will - kill the lights
And let the rain fall - recall
The memories of yesterdays
And better ways
And know - the innocence is gone...
Move on - from this day on
We'll never be the same...
Faster words - and faster kids
Faster songs - and faster ends
The one thing that's stayed the same...
I've lived through days
I've lived through nights
I've had my loves
I've had my fights
I close my eyes to yesterday
All the memories start to play
And oh, the skies were so blue
And it?s me and it?s you
Growing older and older
But now you?re gone and I must be strong
And find a way to carry on
Farewell, this is the end
But I?ll remember you
I know we?ll meet again
And our days will be all brand new
You haunt my dreams and come to me
To tell me now that your soul is free
Oh, the skies are so blue
And I?m watching over you
Growing older and older
So hold me close and always know
My hands will lead you as you go
Farewell, this is the end
But I?ll remember you
I know we?ll meet again
And our days will be all brand new
Cross my heart, hope to die
I will see you on the other side, Allelu, Allelu
Cross my heart, hope to die
I will see you on the other side, Allelu, Allelu
Cross my heart, hope to die
I will see you on the other side
Cross my heart, hope to die
I will see you on the other side
Farewell, this is the end
But I?ll remember you
I know we?ll meet again
Our days will be all brand new
Farewell, this is the end
But I?ll remember you
I know we?ll meet again
Our days will be all brand new
Farewell, this is the end
But I?ll remember you
I know we?ll meet again
Our days will be all brand new
you've been hurt so many times
you always seemed to buy their lies
but that's all gone
forget your past
go on and dry those tears
now come with me
I'll take you someplace safe
the world is cold and so alone
we've got no place to call our own
but I don't care
come run with me
and we will find a way
believe me now
I'll take you someplace safe
will you take my hand
'cause nothing never ever lasts
I'll seal our love for eternity
but I don't care
come run with me
and we will find a way
believe me now
I'll take you someplace safe
will you take my hand
'cause nothing never ever lasts
I'll seal our love for eternity
I won't kneel everytime you call
I can feel that you crawl
I won't back everytime you cry
Misery
Time won't heal everything you do
You got me in your claw
Why do you bringing me down
Help me
With a smile on my face I leave this race
Fear for my resurrection
Fear for my resurrection
I don't want to relive my life
I have felt everything before
Dark in mind and in my soul
I feel pain sweeping me cold
Release me
Time will take everything away
Close your eyes and forget
They are now ending my life
Farewell
With a smile on my face I leave this race
Fear for my resurrection
We were so close together
Like being born again
Now everything is withered
My dream is gone
Farewell, my love
I will no longer hide
This constant fear inside
I will no longer hide
This constant pain inside
Whispers from below
Darkness fills my eyes
My dream is forsaken
A victim of your demise
I thought we were close together
How could I be so naive
Now everything is withered
Strange way it goes
Unable, to change
Hurt, hurt is the bare truth
My life outliving yours
Reminder of time
Your life too short
Despair, the bare truth
Your life before mine
Strange way it must go
Your life too short
Holding and keeping
Forever to be
Holding and keeping
Stay with me
Strange way it is gone
Unable, to believe
Hurt, hurt is the bare truth
My life outliving yours
Reminder of time
Your life too short
Despair, the bare truth
Your life before mine
Strange way it must go
Your life too short
Holding and keeping
Forever to be
Holding and keeping
Strange way it goes
Unable, to change
Hurt, hurt is the bare truth
My life outliving yours
Reminder of time
Your life too short
Despair, the bare truth
Your life before mine
Strange way it must go
Your life too short
Holding and keeping
Forever to be
Holding and keeping
Stay with me
Strange way it is gone
Unable, to believe
Hurt, hurt is the bare truth
My life outliving yours
Reminder of time
Your life too short
Despair, the bare truth
Your life before mine
Strange way it must go
Your life too short
Holding and keeping
Forever to be
Holding and keeping
Look how free I am
I won't let them catch me
All your banal worries are strange to me
All your petty interests seem so shallow
I don't understand why you'd waste words on this
Don't you know
That Im free from the problems
That plague you
Thats why I can't understand them
I had a feeling we had a lot in common
Now I'm coming to realize
How distant we were
And I'm not surprised at all
I wanted to offer you a sightseeing flight
Show you how to relish freedom
And give you a piece of my mind
Now I'm coming to realize
That you are stark blind
And your narrow-mindedness
Fills you with contentment
Looking at the world around
For the very first time
Never seen it all before
Hope it's not all mine
On Monday morning all alone
I woke within my house of stone
I ventured forth unto the day
These things I saw upon my way
Trees and flowers were wrapped around
With people's castoffs on the ground
Roads and noise of glass and steel
And people snared within the wheel
Tuesday looked into the sky
Where birds in peace were left to fly
Thunder rolled and lightning flashed
I watched the world as people dashed
Friday's sadness began to creep
Upon me like the deepest sleep
It seemed that only I could see
Just what my world would finally be
On Sunday back inside my room
I draw the blinds, 'tis afternoon
I let my mind find its own ways
it's late at night and i'm drunk again
i think about the times we spent
i thought you were the only one
but now i'm glad that you are gone
i remember days you hated me
i remember nights when you were weak
i remember times but now i see
in the end i treated you like shit
so the time has come to finally quit
so here i sit
my glass is almost empty now
i'm watching all the nice girls in the crowd
but i don't care
so i swear i'll never come back
and i'm sure you're feeling better on your own
by the way your friends are stupid
'cause they told me that you'd never ever stay
with a guy like me
so i finally found my way back home
and it feels so good to be alone
i'm on my own
in the end i treated you like shit
so the time has come to finally quit
so here i sit
i know it's hard to get over this
so please forgive
and please try to understand
i'm still your friend
Sometimes I think of what you said
And it's sad but true for you, it's gone to your head
Because I'm laughing at my thought of you and your way of life
What it amounts to
You may think I'm wrong, but you'll see it's true
I'm leaving this place
There have been changes in my life with no regrets, and I'll be alright
And if you see me again, I hope that I will have changed too
Because there's more to me that you can see
And more to you than I could ever see
So give up on me
Because there's more to me than you could ever match,
you'll see
It's always hard to say good-bye
But in a case like this with not much to miss, I'll be alright
And to those who stayed right by my side,
With them I share a special pride
Feel my hands
Touch my pale face
My touch is vulnerable like a dust
It brings you lust
He came on wings of the wind
His vision in mortal mistress dream
He returned from the Shadow's Land
He was waiting for his bride
She was floating on the ware of delight
In his eyes she saw the depth of might
His kisses like wild wine
She saw candles of boundless right
Hold me tight
The sun is falling away
This fear every night
Every night I die
You can feel the body's heat
You don't know what it is
The frost of death
Hidden inside my vains
Hold me tight
Stop the time
Fly before it's not too late
I will be waiting till the End
When the clock struck midnight hour
They were dancing with desire
Those cursed words he said
His whispers: "Keep the faith"
In vain, it was too late
She forgot the love they've made
Fallen angel dying with teh starry night
Mystic preparation to eternal sleep
It is the mirror that looks at all the fake
It is the bed that sleeps while you're awake
Living in darkness though the sun shines in your face
Watching the time while the clock counts your last days
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE BELIEVES
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE CAN LEAVE
It is the phone that is silent when you keep calling
It is the rain that stands still while you keep falling
Living in darkness though the sun shines in your face
Watching the time while the clock counts your last days
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE BELIEVES
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE CAN LEAVE
....In the darkness, effacing the warmth
slightly embracing the harm
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE BELIEVES
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE CAN LEAVE
....In the darkness, effacing the warmth
slightly embracing the harm
Oh, I wanna know
you've been hurt so many times
you always seemed to buy their lies
but that's all gone
forget your past
go on and dry those tears
now come with me
I'll take you someplace safe
the world is cold and so alone
we've got no place to call our own
but I don't care
come run with me
and we will find a way
believe me now
I'll take you someplace safe
will you take my hand
'cause nothing never ever lasts
I'll seal our love for eternity
but I don't care
come run with me
and we will find a way
believe me now
I'll take you someplace safe
will you take my hand
'cause nothing never ever lasts
[Instrumental]
Farewell to all, I'm in arms of eternal sleep
In mourning hall your sorrow for me is too deep
No feeble thought, you gaze into the void
Think what you are before the eternity
Staring with awe yet unbelieving
The vision before your eyes - the bloodstained flowers...
An everlasting torment
Moaning, crying, in flowers body lying
Rain of tears is pouring from your mourning eyes
Depression, sorrow, for me there's no tomorrow
Now you take all pain and grief for my demise
My coat is shroud and the coffin is my only home
Don't moan so loud, let me rest, don't make my soul roam
Blessed are the strong, the strong with spirit
And grief is supressed by fierce impact
The flash of insight reveals desire
To join me within my grave - the godless craving...
An act of desperation
Don't cry for me, can't you see - I feel better now
My soul is free so get near and kiss my cold brow
And no tears last - the chalice is empty
Extict the feelings, fear's gone and forgotten
And in your dream I beckon to follow Come share my afterlife...
Time truly slips away, from a minute to a thousand days
We'll never say if we only knew, every moment was something new.
This is Farewell and not goodbye, we'll meet again in time
Until then whatever your heart desires is what I hope you'll find
And when you're done, giving the world hell
The round's on us for all the stories you'll tell
Until then, our hearts go with you.
THIS IS FAREWELL AND NOT GOODBYE!!!
Though we're parting and you go alone, what the future holds but no one knows
May the memories keep you warm, our hearts go out with you.
Although I may not understand now
What prompting you to leave
One day I'm sure I'll see This is your life, this is your path!
This is your journey and this is your fight!
And I know you'll give it all you got
This fight is nothing to the wars we've fought
Now raise a glass to the journey and the path you tread
Through time and space
My rebel spirit travel
Following by hope to find
Your neverdying soul
But where, I don't know
It seems that once I beheld you
For a moment
But as fallen star
Thou hidden from me
Beyond the horisont
Just saying' me: "Farewell"
Six thousand years had gone away
My flesh decayed
And rustless Chronos
Turned our bodies to dust
And our names became a remembrance
Enrised by hate and despair
I'd been resurrected
To be a shadow abroad life
To be eternal prisoner
In the City of Dead
Where is no mean in good and evil
Where is no neither good nor bad
Where is the clocks forever stop
Anmd winds never disturb
A silence of this walls
And only gore of perished souls
That turned to final graven dusk
Break endless grey moveless fog
There is no memory about past
There is no hopes ahead
And only my sorrow scream
A call of quivering fetus,
Sealed in the sarcoffag
A song you never hear
Will fill the air and disappear:
-Farewell!
Farewell life, obsolete thing of my existance
Farewell God, you refused me, between us
there is abyss of unreachable distance
Farewell Satan, when I beg you to burn my soul
you turned back from me
...But in this grim place
Strange detail I remarked
Oh, if you look into the sky
You'll see the stars so brightly shine
Forever!
And never die and fall never...
On a cold dark winter night
When the moon light owns the night
A mighty steamer born on Ireland
Came to see its end
With the speed of twenty one knots
As they go through the night
There was no time to escape its destiny
See now when the moon hits their eyes
As the only light they have
[Chorus:]
Out in the night you hear them crying
No time to say farewell
There was nothing we could do
More than enough were bound
To haunt the sea when the night was done
In the morning all was gone
Ancient stories tell of curse
And damnation on the ship
The voyage of their dreams
Turned into the nightmares
As they tried to lean to starboard side
They were hit by the ice
There was no time to escape its destiny
So see now when the deepest of sea
Come to claim the ship to its fate
[Chorus]
Someone is screaming
Fear not you'll be dreaming
More than fifteen hundred
People in that water died
[Solo]
[Chorus]
you make, me feel, like hell
so long, my friend, farewell
enough is enough, i'm falling off the rails
invisible walls collapse in this cell,
my life betrayed, by the forces at play,
the way of the state of the nations decay
its my curse, and i'll eat a healthy serving
but all along, there's a massive hole a burning
another needle in this voodoo doll deserving
a brand new day
you make, me feel, like hell
so long, my friend, farewell
i'm down in the dumps again
what the fuck happened man
if i try to stay away, i keep on getting chased
this blackened cloud that follows me the blackest sheep erased
at the same time, i try to keep a positive mind
its better to be a master of destiny,
than a sad clown all the time
but each and every day its getting tougher
no need to get a rougher,
more love for one another
chameleon passage into the night
insatiable thirst, this parasite
sucks the life of her bleeding host,
her rite he fights, tonight
he always beats her to a pulp
this vacant man, he is unknown
pathetic x-y chromosomes, all alone
in a sea of despair, not once did they care
for the boy, in the back of their life, this sad pair
does not know, what they've done to expose this poor son,
to a life so surreal, now he lives by the gun
his back to the wall, there's no comfort in him
he's scared as can be, by the truth of the sins
of the man that he is, in the face of demons,
he runs ..... he tears himself to shreds again
you make, me feel, like hell
so long, my friend, farewell
your
time
my life
lines
are getting cut tonight
and so this song i'll write
yes were through alright
thanks for ruining my life
here we´re standing at the end holding memories in our
hands
still we hear the final call then it´s quiet after all
empty places, empty streets, empty glasses, empty
sheets
all what we´ve been longing for we don´t see it anymore
all comes to an end we understand
so much more we´d liked to see places where we planned
to be
stories that had just begun at the end for everyone
all the good and all the bad often funny, sometimes sad
preparations for the show seems like many years ago
scenes of any kind stay on our mind
all dressed up in different styles travelling many
thousand miles
to enjoy and to compete where a hundred nations meet
when the best are at the start they light up a million
hearts
what they want is all the same be an actor in the game
immortality for you and me
time for heroes, time for tears, time for courage, time
for fears
time for those who earned the fame and the losers of
the game
joy and music in the air play of colours everywhere
dreams of glory and hooray now have left for yesterday
voices of the play now die away
different worlds are shining bright all together, side
by side
nothing´s holding us apart keep the spirit in your
heart
peace and friendship all above an illusion that we love
now there´s nothing like before may this last for
evermore
I'm starting a new quest
Because my knowledge is not enough
I must leave you here alone
But I surely will return
It's only for a year
I'll be waiting here for you
You are always in my heart
And I'll love you for all time
My brother is informed
He'll keep an eye on you
His heart is strong and pure
And his sword will protect you
With him I have no fear
But it doesn't comfort me
My heart belongs to you
For you I'll save my tears
... don't take this farewell so hard [2x]
When the evil will awake
Don't make a fatal mistake
You can't defeat them all
Send me a sign to come
I'll reach you everywhere
My heart will find the way
But now it's time to go
For the last time I feel you
Our hopes (our hopes) were a little to high for me
Our dreams (our dreams) too close to reality
And our screams (and our screams) not loud enough for us
Enjoyed our lives (our lives) and now it’s time to pay the price
And now it’s time to pay
Wherever you are,
Whatever you do
I wish you now,
Better luck than in the past
No word of farewell,
And no word was spoken
Now I am broken
Coz you were gone so fast
Ourselves (ourselves) so far away, but so close to us
Our lifelines (our lifelines) we’re drifting away, (we’re drifting away)
We’re drifting away from us
Wherever you are,
Whatever you do
I wish you now,
Better luck than in the past
No word of farewell,
And no word was spoken
Now I am broken
Coz you were gone so fast
And I try
I try to smile
But I know I’ll never be the same again
And I try
I try to smile
But I know I’ll never be the same again
The same again
Now word of farewell
And no word was spoken,
Now I am broken
No word of farewell
And no word was spoken,
Now I am broken
Coz you were gone so fast
Wherever you are,
Whatever you do
I wish you now,
Better luck than in the past
No word of farewell,
And no word was spoken
Now I am broken
Coz you were gone so fast
Wherever you are,
Whatever you do
I wish you now,
Better luck than in the past
No word of farewell,
And no word was spoken
Now I am broken
Coz you were gone so fast
He said, "I'm sorry for a sad farewell." My heart is weak; it sways between the cynical and proud. I have to turn my back on you and all of this. This was a daytime promise and the sunlight bids adieu. Through virgin screams and guitar strings we bore the loudest son. His day has yet come. Screaming idly has never been my thing or sweating for fruit that labor does not bring. This is all for you my dear cynical son, the man who lit the match that burnt the whole world down. Farewell, to that basement noise the virgin games of girls and boys. Five men stand at the end of a long hard road facing a land where young hearts rule old heads, "farewell" we said, as our feet wrap around the edge. Dear Friend, "I'll count my blessings when we hit the ground.
Back at you babe
Back at you babe
Hey lil mama
Glanced at you when I walked away lil mama
Thinking you and me should spend the day lil mama
I know it sound good watcha say lil mama
She like back at you babe
Roll roll up with a ceaser
Hat to the back
Partin up one sleeve up
No jewels on but of course still gd up
Buzz to my phone I be home later on
I get, back at you babe
Known as a charmer
But I play smarter
Gotta stay honest
Im on em like garmets
Walk with a lean
Try to mack to a chick no convo
She said I get back at you babe
I get back at you babe
I said I get back at you babe
What, about a year later
Buzz grew even though I still had haters
Focus on the right things
Getting at the paper
Same girl want me I aint even gonna chase her
I get back at you babe
When the funds got lower
Knee deep in it feelin like it was over
Let me hold nuttin he gave me the cold shoulder
Now im getting money actin like I don’t know ya
To get back a you babe
that’s word to the wise
Showin true colors aint livin in disguise
Sayin what is real with a real cool vibe
Messages that I leave when I breeze in the ride
I get back at you babe
I get back at you babe
A cheek was beckoned
By a tear
A hand on a sword
And a whispering to hear
A word never spoken
A deed never done
Time now is near
Farewell my son...
Hail to thee
Great Valkyries
Lead my son to
Where he belongs...
Guide his way while
Crossing the rainbow
Bid him welcome there
Where he belongs...
"Riding on horseback
Winged like the ravens
Eyes of the one eyed god..."
"Sun now shines golden
Through the leaves of the old oaks
Up to the mountain
Now I ride..."
A glorious dream
That was never dreamt
A death never died
And a life never lived
The last words where spoken
While the rising of sun
Time now is near
Farewell my son...
[Ref.]
"Passing the frontier
Of Asgard and Midgard
Of heavens and grounds below"
"Allfather Wuotan's
Ravens my guidance
Leading me high above"
A cheek was beckoned
By a tear
A hand on a sword
And a whispering to hear
The last words where spoken
While the rising of sun
Time now is near
Farewell my son...
[Ref.]
"From beyond the horizon
Glorious rising
The hall of the bronzen shield"
Portals now opened
Bidding me welcome
I just can't be it
leave me behind
I don't want to go with you
unless they go
but they won't
they're far too inwards to understand
situations out of hand
but they know
there's no answer
I can't do what they all
want you to do
so now
we'll lose
everything we start to keep
for our lives
their hands
I don't see that
they will change for you
and your good will
they take what they can
for themselves own ends
believe
a victim
a last farewell and we shall run
and we shall run
and we shall run
and we shall run
and we shall run
I've got this whole thing figured out
I was lost in the middle of a stupid town
where everything just seems to repeat
over and over again
and then it hit me like a spear right through my chest
I realized then
that this life is only a test
to make us feel, to make us break,
to make us want to give up (but we can't give up)
[Chorus:]
Here's farewell
to everything I've ever known
and here's goodbye
to everyone I've ever known
as of tonight I'm gone
I'm moving on, I've won
and I don't want to stand
in this moment here forever
so goodbye
Sometimes I think that I determine the ending
of everything
and every day I'm still thinking about her
it's just a blur
I had one chance to make it right
to make it work and
I blew it all away
it feels like I'm running around in a race
and the cold wind keeps smacking me right in the face
but this doesn't make any sense
the road keeps on going
[Chorus]
So goodbye time to go
I'm driving through these state lines
finally made up my mind
is it wrong to want something more?
I'm on a crash course headed
for a New York setting
and I hope it turns out just right
maybe then I can feel alive
for the first time
My friends: the time has come for us!
Are you ready to leave your certainties?
Say your farewells
And don't look back
We'll sail across the wine-dark sea
To reach new shores and new horizons
Don't be scared
We won't fail
And through the gates of space and time
We will survive, we'll touch the fire
Of a thousand burning dreams
That shine for us
With the blessing of the gods we'll start
Our journey through raging waves
By the stars
We'll be guided
From wind and rain we'll have no shelter
We'll patiently wait for blue skies
We'll go to where
No one dares
And through the gates of space and time
We will survive, we'll touch the fire
Of a thousand burning dreams
That shine for us
And through the gates of space and time
We will survive, we'll touch the fire
Of a thousand burning dreams
After thousand liesI´m free of all desires
Without anyone that can
Remember me I´m alone
Even so I´m betterthan you
Cause I´m waiting for someone
Who holdsthe true spell
To kill all my sacred fears
Loved by false innocence
So much to forgive
There´s so much tears in vain
And the sword stays inside stone
I´ve been searching
For this moment
Rain beats my face
Cold drops on my skin
Suffering screams to the cloudy sky
Each one of them dying on my throat
I fall head into the mud
Blood gorging the burial ground
With my last forces I creep to rest under the tree
The one where you which thou hast detached
I gaze towards the nocturnal landscape
I leave your world behind
Life-sentence spent in my head
Skirting around the obvious
Bread-dead and gone
At least my mom thinks I'm a catch
Three square meals served up in bed
Too far ashamed for an audience
A self medicated mess
I'm the poster boy for abstinence
Up and out of my mind
I'm the butt of a joke
And the last one in line
Pull the cord and put me out of my misery
Just a matter of time
Grab a seat up in front and watch the decline of me
Girl you don't know who you're messing with
Keep running away
Wake up calls in a cold sweat
Treading water with lead in my life vest
Lost cause for concern
Crying wolf out on the ledge
Half-hearted half-wit
But still a few nickels shy of an idiot
Fucked upside down and out
(I got side effects of impotence)
This is a song for the last picked
For all the kids that shot and missed
Get off the bench if you're sick of it
Follow us
My love I cannot stay
My love I am running late
My love all
Has not been a waste
In a life that you have
Brought upon me
So farewell
Love this is goodbye
Let's not take our time
So farewell
Love this isn't getting
Any easier
And you let go to
What the end will show
Ba ba da ba da da da
My love I cannot stay
My love all
Has not been a waste
My love I am running late
From the life that you have
Brought upon me
So farewell
Love this is goodbye
Let's not take our time
So farewell
Love this
Isn't getting any easier
And you let go
To what the end will show
Ba ba da ba da da da
So farewell
Love this is goodbye
Let's not take our time
So farewell love
This isn't getting
Any easier
And you let go but
To what end will show
Ba ba da ba da da da
I'm gonna sing
This for you
I'm gonna sing
This for you
I'm gonna sing
This for you
So farewell
Love this is goodbye
Let's not take our time
So farewell love this
Isn't getting any easier
And you let go
To what the end will show
disappointment comes
priority mail these days
marked by the scent of a stamp
a smell so familiar but mixed
with the taste of your lips
A hand written letter
so static yet louder
than any cross words we've shouted
These formalities have to stop
cause I've had it
Pen and Ink are so permanent
lasting and longer
leaving scars like a blade
I guess we'll see which one is stranger
Outlined in black and white
with the verdict delivered
I'm sure I'll never get this right
each sentence strikes deeper
than six feet I have dug for or was it that I buried
You say the distance doesn't matter
Your straged sympathy shows through this script
With your las words sealed Manila
and sent with malicious intent
Such and obvious gesture to things
in my life that would never fit
Abandonment was never the issue now
Was It?
Pen and Ink are so permanent
lasting and longer
leaving scars like a blade
I guess we'll see which one is stranger
Outlined in black and white
You said you didn't want this
but now you're gonna miss this
I really need this
my heart will cry
a thousand tears tonight
to a black sky
and my friend
prepare me a place
by your side
the blood falls from my fingers
onto your headstone
tracing the letters
and i am left alone
the angels will sing us
a requiem
to announce your arrival
this is my reply
as the heavens ring in harmony
we cry
goodbye Eric
farewell friend
my open wounds will heal
scarring over
to fill a void
Counting the raindrops as they fall to the ground
Blue as the gray skies opening downwards
Sighing my hand trembling my chest heaving
Your picture standing by the window all alone
Grass is greener no more
what is the reason of the death
the weakness of the strengh.
The light won't be brigther again
lake waters are rotten
theres is no life of wonders.
And I will close my eyes
when you ear the cry of souls
I will be there.
Red flow release me
where blood laments seems to dwell.
Trapped in a see of pain.
Frost heart turned into stone
joy in sadness forever lost.
I will close my eyes
when you ear the cry of souls
I will be there.
Red flow release me
where blood laments seems to dwell.
And I will close my eyes
when you ear the cry of souls
I will be there.
Red flow release me
where blood laments dwell
and I will close my eyes
when you ear the cry of souls
I will be there.
Red flow release me
where blood laments seems to dwell.
Lied while darkness embrace me
never trusted in the wheels of life.
Last drop of blood be spilled
Holding on, to this dream we had
Holding on, To our life and friends
The times we shared, the moments that last
My eyes well up, it's farewell at last
(chorus)
Holding ground, until our last playing day
My Life Surrounds, saying farewell to the crowd
This pain hurts more, than it should be
My suffer hurts more, Why did it have to be me
You all were so well, and close to me
The stress we took, higher than it should be
(chorus)
(Break)
(Repeat First Verse)
F.Guccini
. E sorridevi e sapevi sorridere coi tuoi vent'anni portati così,
come si porta un maglione sformato su un paio di jeans;
come si sente la voglia di vivere che scoppia un giorno e non spieghi il
perché:
un pensiero cullato o un amore che è nato e non sai che cos'è.
Giorni lunghi tra ieri e domani, giorni strani,
giorni a chiedersi tutto cos'era, vedersi ogni sera;
ogni sera passare su a prenderti con quel mio buffo montone orientale,
ogni sera là, a passo di danza, salire le scale
e sentire i tuoi passi che arrivano, il ticchettare del tuo buonumore,
quando aprivi la porta il sorriso ogni volta mi entrava nel cuore.
Poi giù al bar dove ci si ritrova, nostra alcova,
era tanto potere parlarci, giocare a guardarci,
tra gli amici che ridono e suonano attorno ai tavoli pieni di vino,
religione del tirare tardi e aspettare mattino:
e una notte lasciasti portarti via, solo la nebbia e noi due in
sentinella,
la città addormentata non era mai stata così tanto bella.
Era facile vivere allora, ogni ora, chitarre e lampi di storie fugaci,
di amori rapaci,
e ogni notte inventarsi una fantasia da bravi figli dell'epoca nuova,
ogni notte sembravi chiamare la vita a una prova.
Ma stupiti e felici scoprimmo che era nato qualcosa più in fondo,
ci sembrava d'avere trovato la chiave segreta del mondo.
Non fu facile volersi bene, restare assieme
e pensare d'avere un domani, restare lontani;
tutti e due a immaginarsi: "con chi sarà?" In ogni cosa un pensiero
costante,
un ricordo lucente e durissimo come il diamante
e a ogni passo lasciare portarci via da un'emozione non piena, non
colta:
rivedersi era come rinascere ancora una volta.
Ma ogni storia la stessa illusione, sua conclusione,
e il peccato fu creder speciale una storia normale.
Ora il tempo ci usura e ci stritola in ogni giorno che passa correndo,
sembra quasi che ironico scruti e ci guardi irridendo.
E davvero non siamo più quegli eroi pronti assieme a affrontare ogni
impresa;
siamo come due foglie aggrappate su un ramo in attesa.
"The Triangle tingles"... farewell, non pensarci e perdonami
se ti ho portato via un poco d'estate con qualcosa di fragile come le
storie passate.
Forse un tempo poteva commuoverti ma ora è inutile credo, perché
Please don't deny everything, even just a bit.
Even though I have something to say to you,
you should not hear me and I want you not to hear me.
It's too boring to wait for tomorrow in the dark room.
you don't have to change at all.
robbing my freedom, you only mix up a worry and relief.
Myself is just same as the one peace you've lost.
the blank is never completed.
I recommend you to buy a new set of puzzle.
My thought is only one of many.
I'm going to pour it into this wine bottle and smash it
I'll show you my face reflected in the fragment.
how can you see my face ?
It's too boring to wait for tomorrow in the dark room.
you don't have to change at all.
robbing my freedom, you only mix up a worry and relief.
It's too boring to wait for tomorrow in the dark room.
you don't have to change at all.
Down on your luck
These days are numbered one by one
Feeding the masses with their pacifying thumb
Too important to listen
They've got us pinned against the wall and so we say
You're one-in-a-million, baby
Well that's just how it goes
I've got a familiar feeling that everybody knows
Crooked minds and timeless binds have rotted out the core
Subconscious leading to precarious trap doors
Two times they glisten (?)
They've got us poised to take the fall and so we say
You're one-in-a-million, baby
Well that's just how it goes
I've got a familiar feeling that everybody knows
Climbing rooftops and the suits you're living in can't save your skin
So I sing this song to you
(You're my one and only)
You're one-in-a-million, baby
Well that's just how it goes
I've got a familiar feeling that everybody knows
You're one of a million dead-beats washed up on the shore
I died like a poet
and sincerely wished
to be blessed by the fate
but was left alone to learn
to live to love the likes of you
Cause we fought like soldiers
but lacking valiancy, we died like flies
I swear your heart's bleeding regret
dripping from my mouth
collected on the sidewalk to spell:
Get out while you can
Get out while there's time
cause there's little left now
for a graceful bowing out
It's times like these that make me think
to hell with sobriety
It's times like these that make me think
to hell with everything
So come on baby
give me the best shit-faced smile
you can muster up
Cause you know you're beautiful
with you eyes glazed like that
Battled it out
Dropped anchors like sailors too
tried to hang on
To be continued in the morning
Such an invitation to sleep
I swear the sunlight hits like steak
knives on glazy eyes
What you've got are - two starving
wrist carving for attention
What you've got are - sent from sharpened blades
So what's left are two open wounds
bound with electrical tape
and it's too bad you can't hide
yourself from reductant monotony
burn scars can't be covered up with smiles
and choking is like sleeping in
only this way you don't have
to wake up so disappointed
What you've got are - two starving
wrist carving for attention
What you've got are - sent from sharpened blades
You'd be so fucking beautiful
with your throat slit
cut off oxygen
release blood flow
Out in the starless darkness
the city smiled on itself.
Traffic signals switched from green to red;
I searched your body for evidence,
under a dogwood canopy.
Your hand in mine, frozen in time.
Who would've guessed life as we knew was ending?
So don't cry, we'll be alright.
Once I get you cleaned up, babe, we'll run away.
But if you die before I wake,
have my heart, it's yours to take.
A sacrifice for our sake;
I'd give my whole life for you any day.
Daylight drew the sickness,
I brush the bangs from your face
while watching your eyes turn from green to red.
Back in our old apartment,
collecting dust on a shelf,
the memories of you and me
incinerate from under?
So don't cry, we'll be alright.
Once we get you picked up, babe, we'll run away.
But if you die before I wake,
have my heart, it's yours to take.
A sacrifice for our sake;
I'd give my whole life for you any day.
Love of mine,
call out if it eats you from the inside.
Out of time,
but be sure I'll be all yours, I'll be on the side.
Sometimes, it's harder to stay alive.
But if you die before I wake,
have my heart, it's yours to take.
A sacrifice for our sake;
Swells are churning overboard at midnight
(Lover, help is on the way)
I watch you sink into Atlantic waters
(All alone, on your own, throw me a?)
My love in the arms of a sailor
Sturdy, substantial, and true
I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
So please believe in me
Show me a map
Where is the compass I packed?
batten the hatch before darling gets deeper
Give me a sign before I run out of time
hoping to god that the darkness won't keep her
Sunsets and skylines
You're something that I'll never forget
No, I'll never forget you
I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
So please believe in me
Holding on with open arms
I'll carry you away, girl
I love you
I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
And I know you're out there
And I won't be long
I said I'd save you
Well, you've been living a lie by your own admission
My patience has been hard enough to fake
And the secrets you save for your new physician
Are leaving me with one ear on the safe
And the holes in your story increase suspicion
Your witnesses have all been on the take
And we can give it a gamble under one condition
You'll have to take your foot off the, foot off the brake
So give up and give in and start over again
But be honest, cause you're all I need
It's pathetic
Why can't we get it straight?
Well, you've been compromised by your new position
They're looking up your skirt, for heavens sake
And your army of fakes that refuse to listen
Will end up in designer, shallow graves
It's true
The torture and tears have become tradition
But the something on the side is what takes the cake
And the surplus of uppers and apparitions
Are the only things that keep me up, keep me awake
So give up and give in and start over again
But be honest, cause you're all I need
It's pathetic
Why can't we get it straight?
So stay up and stay in
Yeah, I'll say it again
Look beyond this
There's a big picture that you're missing
Framed by the first mistake
By the bags under your eyes
I can see that you've packed for the week
So hang up this shit for the neighbors to see
Writing won't save the world
So you best stay pretty, girl
So give up and give in and start over again
But be honest, cause you're all I need
It's pathetic
Why can't we get it straight?
So stay up and stay in
Yeah, I'll say it again
Look beyond this
There's a big picture that you're missing
Framed by the first mistake
By the first mistake
By the first mistake
Left a Post-It on a wall
But September, yeah, she brought the fall
And with every corporate
She'll be catching her death before long
Before long
So comtemptable at the card table
Watching her cut the limes
I'm so cynical, fucking miserable
Deconstruct by design
She was only a lonely accomplice
It was all for the best in the end
But I died to make her realize
I'm only trying to get through
It's long overdue
I hope you're happy now
Distance all around me
To build bridges to you
It's kind of funny how
You're all over town
Like it's the right thing to do
It's despicable how this criminal
Gets away with the crimes
She's so pitterful, often critical
Watching others scrape by
She was only a lonely accomplice
It was all for the best in the end
But I died to make her realize
I'm only trying to get through
It's long overdue
You better look out if you
Fall in love with a liar
Cause, boy, she'll tear you apart
She'll blow all the smoke in your eyes
Better watch out for you
Falling dumb into desire
Cause, boy, she'll tap out your heart
And leave you with nothing inside
She was only a lonely accomplice
It was all for the best in the end
But I died to make her realize
I'm only trying to get through
Words from a drunk and numbers in code - I've got the pride of the irish
On the phone - keep sending postcards from chicago - pressures building up
I think I might explode - hold tight - I wish that you could see through my eyes
I've never really been good with goodbyes, so keep holding on
I'm holding on - so what'll it be? clothes in the trunk - I guess I should
Have known - looks like the queen of confusion's got her throne
Save a white russian for the drive home - mint and hazelnut,
I can't forget how you taste - windows boarded up,
But were they ever really open in the first place?
One day can lead to decay - what in the hell happened
I can't take these fights anymore
I've got too much at stake
I swear I've spent too many nights on the floor
I've set myself up to blow it
I'm such an ass and I know it
This time I'm falling faster
Than I'm blowing with broken wings
With other to contrust her
They always leave me feeling
Calloused, broken, alone
Hey Heather, I'm lost in the letters
Together we can find something better
So that's it, you're not coming back
I locked the door
But just in case
I think I left a spare under the mat
I know it makes it tougher
I can't help it
I love her
Try to avoid disaster
When her reply meant everything
This chance is hard to master
Most when it leaves you feeling
Tired, exhausted, overblown
Hey Heather, I'm lost in the letters
Together we can find something better
Cause when December comes
I hope you'll see how you've been missing out
Then call me up to confess
That it's me you're thinking about
How 'bout you give me the day?
I'll set off in a second
I need you here with me
Hey Heather, I'm lost in the letters
Together we can find something better
Hey Heather, I think I'm lost in the letters
(This time I'm falling faster)
Together we can find something better
I've got a picture of you and me and it's taped to the mirror so you can
See your eyes
I'm not sure exactly how i feel about it
Stay all night
There's one last chance to hold each other tight
We're gonna say goodbye
We're gonna say goodnight
I wish there was more time
Because we're giving it up
I will be just fine
We're gonna go go go to the next state line
And we're living it up
Leave it all behind
And I say "goodnight" to a closing skyline
I'm alright
I'm absolutely sure I'll get through all of this
Up all night
There's one last shot to get the ending right
We're gonna say goodbye
We're gonna say goodnight
I wish there was more time
Because we're giving it up
I will be just fine
We're gonna go go go to the next state line
And we're living it up
Leave it all behind
And I say "goodnight" to a closing skyline
around this town
And the weeks and the miles and the street clowns, yeah
We gotta get out somehow
Yeah we gotta get somehow
All the tough bars and rockstars who've plagued this place
And the thugs and the bums that get in your face
And all the bullshit and drama that can't be erased yet
We gotta get out somehow
Because we're giving it up
I will be just fine
We're gonna go go go to the next state line
And we're living it up
Leave it all behind
And I say "goodnight" to a closing sky
Because we're giving it up
I will be just fine
We're gonna go go go to the next state line
And we're living it up
Leave it all behind
If you wanted to, you could just settle down
But you'd rather just waste away
Button up, shut up, and turn your life around
What would it take to get this started?
If you wanted to, you could just settle down
But you'd rather just waste away
Button up, shut up, and turn your life around
What will it take to get this started?

I? d say I? m drunk enough to hate you now
Or at least enough to take a little drive around the block
Crashing through the windshield can? t be half as bad as crashing parties
Unintended for you
You presence isn? t needed here
It isn? t needed
And at the hospital, the waiting room will not be crowded
The paramedics will not stand the sight of this
Instead there will be lovely flower patterned chairs
And a blank television
Will not be filled
With closest friends and next of kin
Instead the bottles will be empty
And the bellies will be full
This solemn day
Has been quite intriguing to say the least
I? ve mixed a wonderful concoction
A miracle of sorts
It contains
So tonight ill either be fighting or lying in my own vomit but
Either way the morning will be lonely
And at your funereal
I? m sure the guests will sit and stare
With lovely words from people
Who all knew your parents
Harry:

Rhonda:

Harry:
I have nothing to be ashamed of! i have a lovely body. everyone will understand! i've-i've accom- plished something tonight! i really believe that! i've found a sort of fulfilment other men only dream about!
Rhonda: (naked, re-stuffing the briefcase)
You've accomplished nothing! nothing at all! you're a mere worm... less than that... you're a useless all-american 'man-worm'! the most disgusting creature on the face of the earth. phooey on you! worms like you would be nothing without me and my kind! we are the future, harry! not you! we don't need you and your kind, because our kind is the best kind!
Man-kind is shit, harry! our kind will get rid of your kind, just like wiping off this fountain pen, harry! smell it quick, you submissive little cocksucker, 'cause i'm wiping it off... any minute now!
This is symbolism, harry! really deep, intense, thought-provoking broadway symbolism! this isn't 'dream girls', harry! this is the way it really is... i'm talking to you, harry! we hate you! we are modern, harry! you are not 'modern'! worms are not modern!
While you became lawyers and accountants, and read playboy and bought a pipe, we planned and dreamed and fucked our briefcases while you weren't looking! yes, harry! that's right! and we've actually been able to reproduce ourselves that way... for years, harry, but you never knew! did you? you worm.
We had special atomic glasses made... by women optometrists who promised never to tell!
We learned how to hide secret stuff, wrapped up in the middle of those severe terminal buns we wear! little transmitters, harry! little receivers! oh... don't pretend to be surprised, harry! we even had room left over in there for all of our most favorite little embroidered delicate secretly feminine child-like helpless pathetic sentimental totally useless personal 'girl-things' that smell like the stuff they put in the toilet paper. you played golf! you watched football! you drank beer! we evolved! we only look like wandas and rhondas! we are superb, harry! we are sublime! we are perfect in every way! and you? what are you? you are the all-american cocksucker... jizzing all over your leather cocksucker costume after beating the snot out of yourself with a rubber mammy!
I think you know we're running out of time
You've started dressing up
The mood is ruined by the cheapest wine
That's spilling on your skirt
She's dressed to kill
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
Moved north from New York
But the city life is tugging at her soul
Served whisky to the drunks that haunt the night
Her life is getting old
She's dressed to kill
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
She wanted more than he could pay
But I was standing beside her
Trading the life she loved for something less
The guilt is setting in
Paying thebills by taking off her dress
The pressure's worn her thin
Pop in the pills to nullify the stress
It's showing through her skin
She's dressed to kill
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
She wanted more than he could pay
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
Soft as the petal
Tough as the thorn
She wanted more than he could pay
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
Fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
She wanted more than he could pay
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
(She wanted more)
Fed to the fire
(She wanted more)
A silhouette, framed in cold air
makes her way out the front door screaming
Eighteen degrees left in his room,
a chill so sharp that cracks my eyes
It never had to be this way in the first place
set in stone with our last words screaming
Footprints in snow head down this road
it was the only trace of you
You say you want it all I just say you can just let it go
You just cant see through the swelling waves
Sink through the salt and the silence
Now the winter weather's warmer
and we both watch moments turn to May
Footprints head toward different places
but the outlook stays the same
As I stand in the sand
Faded pictures in my hand wondering if you feel the same as me
You say you want it all
I say you just cant let go
The tide went out on February fourteen
Just let it go
Why cant you let it go
Way back in high school,
he was a big fat mess
that couldn't pass a joint enough
to pass a piss test.
We never knew he was twice as smart as the rest of us.
Well he must've done something right,
twenty-one with a house and hit on top forty.
When your world changes upside down,
wait your turn because karma comes around.
Think of all that you've got
So find the power you have within,
and live up to the life you're livin' in.
Hey, but take the longshot.
Well, as a freshmen,
nobody looked her way.
She walked the hall for years
but no one even knew her name.
A legal pad and a ballpoint pen were her only friends.
Well, she must've done something right.
Saw her face on TV selling her success story.
When your world changes upside down,
wait your turn because karma comes around.
Think of all that you've got.
So find the power you have within,
and live up to the life you're livin' in.
Hey, but take the longshot.
You never know what you're gonna get, do ya?
No way to tell if you'll ever rise to the top.
You'll never know if you never try, will ya?
So get up, and show 'em all what you got.
When your world changes upside down,
wait your turn 'cause karma comes around.
Think of all that you've got.
So find the power you have within
and live up to the life you're livin' in.
Our story starts when I was fourteen years old:
My friends and I snuck out for our first punk show.
We stuffed our beds and stole my sister's car,
And spent the whole way there playing our air guitars.
I had no clue what I was getting myself into.
A few years later, met some guys in a rock band,
Picked up a keyboard and I started singing.
We wrote some songs and played our local bars
But never would've guessed that we would ever make it this far.
Now and then, I still remember it sinking in.
I called my mom on the way from NC to LA
'Cause it helped me to feel close to home.
I told her not to worry, got my best friends with me,
Now I'm livin' my life on the road.
Brought back some stories from the places we'd been to
And learned a lot from all the drama we went through.
Then cut a record, started building a name,
Got a real fanbase and our first taste of fame.
It's funny how life has a way of just working out.
I called my mom on the way from NC to LA
'Cause it helped me to feel close to home.
I told her not to worry, got my best friends with me,
Now I'm livin' my life on the road.
We've come a long way since the old days,
And I'm proud to say I wouldn't change anything at all.
'Cause once this road comes to an end,
I'll have the memories of when:
I found it so hard to see but mom tried to believe
That life on the road isn't bad,
'Cause sooner or later, we all have to leave,
But I'll never forget my way back.
I called my mom on the way from NC to LA
'Cause it helped me to feel close to home.
I told her not to worry, got my best friends with me,
I can see your smiling faces
watching others check the time
but that's ok cause I wouldn't have
you see me this way
I know it's not your style to care
you wear your status well
apathetic wax poetic
but they can hear you
Well, the rope wasn't long enough
to hang us both
but the view from here
is so much clearer
You didn't have to be so tough
You and me both know
there's no such thing as fitting in
(there's no such thing as fitting in)
I took my complaints to the afterlife
but they were shot down
I guess it's not my time to argue
with the angels and the saints
This may sound out of context
out of focus, out of control
But baby should this be any
different than those times before?
Well, the rope wasn't long enough
to hang us both
but the view from here
is so much clearer
You didn't have to be so tough
You and me both know
there's no such thing as fitting in
I open up my mouth to speak
you paint the picture of my tongue
I choke until I bleed
I open up my eyes to see
you mask my face to see the tears
I sob until I sleep
This masterpiece has been
covered up with paint
so thick that you can't see
the mess you've made
So here I stand
paralyzed by the cast
you've chiseled away around me
I open up my my hands to feel
you break each finger and each wrist
but broken arms can't hold
I open up my heart to heal
you take your brush and paint it green
A jealous heart can't beat
This masterpiece has been
covered up with paint
so thick that you can't see
the mess you've made
So here I stand
paralyzed by the cast
you've chiseled away around me
Renovation hurts
I'm rubble and dirt
so let's see what you think
you can make from this [2x]
Well, you said you wanted war
But nobody wants to fail the future
If you say it's too late
It's not too late, it's not too late, whoa
I wanna wake up on the day I found you
I wanna wrap these shaky arms around you
I wanna find a decent way to tell you
I need to spend some time alone
I wanna take this in the wrong direction
I wanna say this to my own reflection
I wanna find a decent way to tell you
I need to spend some time alone
Right now, it was the words that you were gunning for
All I wanted was to let you know
Just wait a second
And I'll give you what you're waiting for
I'll make a promise and refuse to show
Things fall apart
Well, you said you wanted more
(You said you wanted more)
But nobody wants to wait forever
If you say it's too late
It's not too late, it's not too late, whoa
I wanna show you all the things I promised
I wanna give away the things I won't miss
I wanna find a decent way to tell you
I need to spend some time alone
I wanna write down all the things you say
I wanna have you in you my life today
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
Cause I'm tired of being alone
Right now, it was the words that you were gunning for
All I wanted was to let you know
Just wait a second
And I'll give you what you're waiting for
I'll make a promise and refuse to show (x2)
Our heads down in the back of the van
Our heads down in the back of the van
Our heads down in the back of the van, whoa
Our heads down in the back of the van
Our heads down in the back of the van
Our heads down in the back of the van, whoa
Not too late
Don't have to wait
You want it all
Not too late
(Our heads down in the back of the van)
Don't have to wait
(Our heads down in the back of the van)
You want it all
(Our heads down in the back of the van)
Right now you know
Everything that you said
Just forget about it
Right now you know, whoa
Right now you know
Everything that you said
Just forget about it
Right now you know
Right now you know
Everything that you said
Just forget about it
I think i might have cracked my wishbone
In the fall
Aspirations all gone wrong
Now my mouth's off the leash
And its armed to release
Got my target set on all of y'all
I can't believe the lines they fed you
All along
Congregations have been conned
Well I've come here to teach,
Infiltrate and impeach,
With this sweet sarcastic sing-a-long
So take it from me
And watch what you say
To me its much more than a business,
A trend
Or just hangin' with my friends
Cause it comes from the heart
Power chord, work of art
You know we'll be here til the bitter end
We'll find our way
With dissension on display
Business stays the same
When no one takes the blame
Here it's in repeat
Your mistakes
So take it from me
If you don't learn you're doomed to repeat
And watch what you say
Take a look at yourself, do you like what you're becoming?
What do you really have to lose
The choice is yours
And you have no excuse (no excuse)
Team up and set the record straight
We'll show them all
We'll start today
So take it from me
If you don't learn you're doomed to repeat
And watch what you say
Not waiting for the words to come around
In this small tobacco town
And I'm hating every second of this shit
I'm far too involved to quit
But the radio keeps playing on and on
On and on and on
What in the world were you thinking?
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're drinking on
Too much to bail, too much to bail out
Captain, captain!
Please save me, save me!
The neatest _ire up for hire
And the drunken liars make me want to scream
And I'm jaded by the ones who mean the most
But I'm talking to your ghost
And I'm fading like all the lies you put up with
And the table starts to shift
But the one I love is moving on and on
What in the world were you thinking?
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're drinking on
Too much to bail, too much to bail out
Captain, captain!
Please save me, save me!
Down to the wire I admire
This talk is tired
It makes me want to see inside her, smoke and fire
What in the world were you thinking?
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're drinking on
Too much to bail, too much to bail out
What in the world were you thinking?
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're drinking on
Too much to bail, too much to bail out
I'm sitting on the sidelines
Waiting for the right time
For someone to come and carry me home
I'm sitting on the sidelines
Waiting for the right time
For someone to come and carry me home
I'm sitting on the sidelines
Waiting for the right time
For someone to come and carry me home
I'm sitting on the sidelines
Waiting for the right time
For someone to come and carry me home
(The radio keeps playing on and on
On and on and on
The radio keeps playing on
Smoke and mirrors on a vanity stage,
Assembled for one function.
A cookie cutter caffeinated teen,
Deployed for mass consumption.
Have you ever wanted something more?
Something different from the same old sad display?
Your voice is too loud to ignore.
I remember when the song was all we had.
So when did rock-n-roll become this fucking fashion show?
You talk so much but you don't understand.
That's what I think about it!
A million ankles grabbing knuckles white,
Await a public fisting.
They push the product, shoveled down your throat
Just to show you nothings missing.
Have you ever wanted something real?
Somehow sounding different starts to sound the same.
So when did rock-n-roll become this fucking fashion show?
You talk so much but you don't understand.
I'll smash my radio devoid of any heart and soul,
So now you know exactly how I feel.
That's what I think about it!
Is there anyone who's tired of being used?
Is there anyone who's sick of the abuse?
So don't apologize for what you can't excuse.
Don't throw this all away.
So when did rock-n-roll become this fucking fashion show?
It's all so wrong. Why don't you understand?
I'll smash my radio devoid of any heart and soul,
So now you know exactly how I feel.
That's what I think about it.
Turn off the TV
Turn up the Stereo
Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead
I can't believe I missed the punchline
Completely unaware that anything was said
(Give me) Any kind of compliment
I'll take anything I can get
(Show me) just one sign of intelligence
I'll write it down so I don't forget
Expect the worst, and I'll fall like a star
Self-destructive, burnt myself up on the way down now
Take back the words on the tip of my tongue
Idiotic masterpiece for all the world to see
Drowned out by the voices in my head
Meet me at loveline, I'll see you next time
Cock-sucker motherfucker is all she said...
Textbook head-case, I plead incopetence
Oh, I can't wait to wrap my hands around your neck
Demanding sympathy, accepting apathy
I'll take anything I can get (I'll take anything I can get)
Expect the worst, and I'll fall like a star
Self-destructive, burnt myself up on the way down now
Take back the words on the tip of my tongue, and smoke until my brain goes numb
I'll take anything I can get
(Show me) just one sign of intelligence
I'll write it down so I don't forget
Expect the worst, and I'll fall like a star
Self-destructive, burnt myself up on the way down now
Take back the words on the tip of my tongue, and smoke until my brain goes numb
Expect the worst, and I'll fall like a star(Expect the worst, and I'll fall like a star)
If you keep running your mouth
I'm gonna cut you a new smile
Bring those teeth to the front
So I can knock 'em out, knock 'em out
Gimme a break
this is the schoolyard shit you all know
grow, another weak attept to waste my time
so ante up, and call my bluff
or put the cigarette down and hop the first train out of town
Cause I'm done trying to shake you
I'm dying to take you down
you know i'd love to make you cause more than a mess this time
This is a common affair I tried to let go
Was even willing to erase this time
So knuckle up, I'm gonna leave you face down
I've had enough, yeah that'll teach you not to mess around
Yeah, my father tried to tell me
That there are bigger things to worry about
No, there's not a decent explanation
For this altercation
Bottom line, you wear me out
(Chorus)
You can't shut me up
Another victim of the childhood runaround
You can't shut us down
This time we'll set the record straight
Head trips grasping for something to say
Make your move before it's too late
Because we all fall down
Left for dead
Decaying in your grave
Daily routine future filed away
Flash-backwards thinking everyday
It's time for you to wake up tonight
I'm sick of you running my life
And these hang ups are getting harder to deal with
every time
It's time for you to wake up tonight
You know I'll be just fine
(You might catch me saying)
Step on the gas and get out while you can
Strike up a match and burn the master plan
I saw you waste your youth
You never wanted to go
Up in a ball of flames
So I'll be waiting right here without a sound
It's time for you to burn out tonight
And keep your dreams locked up inside
And these hangovers are getting harder each and every time
It's time for you to wake up tonight
You know I'll be just fine
Keep heading straight down to your grave
I swear I saw you waste your youth
You never wanted to go
Up in a ball of flames
So I'll be waiting right here without a sound
And I just though you should know
Lost hopes and plastic egos
Won't save your soul this time around
Step on the gas and get out while you can
Strike up a match and burn the master plan
Run your tank dry and see where you land
I saw you waste your youth
You never wanted to go
Up in a ball of flames
So I'll be waiting right here without a sound
(I'll tell you why)
And I just thought you should know
Lost hopes and plastic egos
Won't save your soul this time around
Pack up the Van, fill in the tank. I'll call you from the road
Restless and ready to wave goodbye to GSO
No Back up plan, but work won't miss me when I go
Gate City, you got me down for far too long (I know)
So We sing... Gettin by the only way we know
And we live for the dreams we started long ago
I wake up every morning with a smile on my face,
Satisfied by my life and the decisions I made
So far, we're making our way
Playing hard, and living our life today
I understand we're out here on our own
All reservations left us long ago, so listen up...
Like it or not, middle fingers up-
We're the guys that the scene forgot
Better believe you haven't hear the last of us
So We sing... Gettin by the only way we know
And we live for the dreams we started long ago
I wake up every morning with a smile on my face,
Satisfied by my life and the decisions I made
So far, we're making our way
Playing hard, and living our life today
Well, I may not be the brightest, but I know who I am
And I hope the message here is one that you understand
Rough start, but we'll be okay
Played it smart, now we're loving our live everyday
Stop wasting time
Your're facing the wrong direction now
Fall out of the line
You can be who you wanna be
(You can be whoever you want to be! )
You're facing the wrong direction...
I wake up every morning with a smile on my face,
Satisfied by my life and the decisions I made
So far, we're making our way
Playing hard, and living our life today
Well, I may not be the brightest, but I know who I am
And I hope the message here is one that you understand
Rough start, but we'll be okay
Played it smart, now we're loving our live everyday
I wake up every morning with a smile on my face,
Satisfied by my life and the decisions I made
So far, we're making our way
Playing hard, and living our life today
Well, I may not be the brightest, but I know who I am
And I hope the message here is one that you understand
Rough start, but we'll be okay
Played it smart, now we're loving our live everyday
Pardon my friend, he's not from here
He's got a knack for speaking with his hands
Got a short fuse, like a time bomb set to explode
I hope you understand we're even now
So just get on with your life
So take a bow
Cause you know that I will never be the same
Well, your cover has been blown
Gonna teach you that you reap what you sow
Gonna take you for everything you own
While your girlfriend's slipping in through the back door
And if you mess with me
Then you will have to answer to my friends
Just a warning for the masses
Not that hard to comprehend
Fight for what you believe in
Stand your ground and stay proud
Shout at the top of your lungs now
Raise your voices up and join the crowd
Your cover has been blown
Gonna teach you that you reap what you sow
Gonna take you for everything you own
While your girlfriend's slipping in through the back door
And if you mess with me
Then you will have to answer to my friends
Just a warning for the masses
Not that hard to comprehend
If you mess with me
Then you will have to face the consequence
Words of wisdom for the weary
See who gets it in the end
Now look who's setting the pace
You said that we'd never make it
So wipe that grin off your face
You're far too phony to fake it
And if you mess with me
Then you will have to answer to my friends
Just a warning for the masses
Not that hard to comprehend
If you mess with me
Then you will have to face the consequence
Words of wisdom for the weary
See who gets it in the end
So let me be the first one on the blog to say it
Let me be the guy to carry all the blame
And when it's too much to bear
You know your friends will be there
So hang on
was i bewitched by the thin red line
and let it snip the silver twine
i stare in silence
that is mine
discomfort of my silent fear, so icy cold,
yet somehow seems to sear my soul
until the ache's too much to bear,
as mortal life now disappears
to steal sweet youth before it turned to gold.
existence now is not what i was told;
wastelands of sorrow, i welcome all i receive
blood before tears, you will see
cold and redundant, i deserve everything i get
what joy, want for nothing
sweet rapture for i am nothing
