Why can't you see that it's not cool?
To wait in handing (?) after school
Tell you what I'll do
I'll leave it up to you
Messenger, messenger
I wanna be your boy, your messenger
Messenger, messenger
I wanna be your boy, your messenger
I know it gets so hard to choose
I'll be the one to break the news
Tell you what I'll do
Friend of mine
Spare the time
With your skill and symmetry
Over land, over sea
Spread you wings, deliver me.
Don't bring me bad news
Don't bring me sad news.
Messenger, take my heart and fly away
Find my love, tell her I'm alone today
Still dreamin' of the love we used to share
Just let her know I care.
When the world is asleep
And dreams are flowin' free
Will you fly through the night
And send her back to me?
Don't bring me bad news
Don't bring me sad news.
Messenger, take my heart and fly away
Find my love, tell her I'm alone today
Still dreamin' of the love we used to share
Just let her know I care.
INSTRUMENTAL
How I envy your position reaching for the sun
Perfect in your aim, cryin' for no one
Not for you the wishin' or the things that can't be done
Flyin' through the darkness to the dawn.
Messenger, take my heart and fly away
Find my love, tell her I'm alone today
Still dreamin' of the love we used to share
Just let her know I care
Just let her know I care
I'm glad that you came down with me
I'm glad we recalled our history well
Didn't we know the same
God, I hope
We're not safe for evil
So when does the message come
And when do they tear my sweet dreams down
I need you there to help me crawl
I am not safe for evil
So when does the message come
And when do they tear my sweet dreams down
I need you there to help me crawl
See the footprints in the sand
They will soon disappear
Made by the messenger from the other world
Crossing deserts and seas
Valleys and mountains
Carrying his burden without a world
You never wanted me to know
You never wanted me to feel all your pain
Now you're bringing me the answer
Master lead me to your
Messenger! I'm waiting for your sign
Messenger! You got something that is mine
He's getting closer
With every step he takes
He won't stop and rest before his mission is complete
He knows that you are waiting
He has known for many years
Don't be scared he'll find you he will hear your call
You never wanted me to know
You never wanted me to feel all your pain
Now you're bringing me the answer
Master lead me to your
Messenger! I'm waiting for your sign
Stay still, be still
No wonder you are always lost
If a messenger you must be known
Then messages you must return
To be seen by demanding hands
And touches of jealous men
Invisible and forgivable
To all their secret hands
Be it so be quick
Don't run just walk and walk and walk
Don't loose yourself to decorate
Somewhere on your wall
Cause somewhere in your mind
You know you are doing fine
Holding secret hair locks
You'll pluck before you hide
So how can I keep anything to myself
So how can I keep anything to myself
So how can I keep anything to myself
Behind those clouds
music by Unicorn, lyrics by Dan Swano
Deep in the dead of the night,
silhouettoes on my window, why?
I guess I will never know.
The themes will always come and go.
And I'm never gonna be the same.
Never gonna be the same again.
I know, you show the mage coming from a distant age.
Messenger of fear and pain, messenger of love.
Messenger of fear and pain, messenger of time.
Messenger of fear and pain, messenger of love.
Messenger of fear and pain, messenger.
I stand on a wave in time,
always searching for the clouded space.
I guess it will never show,
The theme will always be the glow.
And I'm never gonna be the same again,
Never gonna be the same again.
I show, you throw the page stolen from the human race.
Messenger of fear and pain...
Face the face of heaven (Face the face)
Caught within a spell.
Dreaming dreams if heaven (Dreaming dreams)
Dreaming dreams of hell.
February its all so clear.
Our lives wrote itself into a history of you and me.
But now you're asking me to leave and swear to forget everything.
Just promise me you won't regret this.
Why'd you have to go away and do me so wrong.
And everyday I have to say that it's tearin' me apart.
Your true colors won't be as bright as I saw that night.
I thought I took away all the malice from your life
but instead you took the one good thing out of mine.
You said you didn't need the time but now you fucking need the time to think.
"Should I choose a boy or a man?"
My God!
I can't believe we're down to this.
"Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?" she said then left.
"Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are tonight?"
Well I don't know but I can tell you who you're not.
I've since then,
washed you away from all of this yet asking for your forgiveness.
But honey I, I never meant to hurt you dear oh no.
Later doubting everything I said.
You know I'll always be your first but still the pain is gettin' worse tonight.
It's gonna end soon enough and then we'll have nothing left to say.
"Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?" she said then left.
"Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are tonight?"
Well I don't know but I can tell you who you're not.
You said this to me once or twice but I can tell you you aren't
Just promise me you won't regret this.
Tell me how I can learn from you,
when I'm racing through your pulsing heart?
And I believe that we are here for just one reason.
I think I know just a little better
than to test the sea's and find my way back home.
Nobody really has to know.
Another lie with all this room to grow.
Why don't we leave our hearts at the door,
and act upon what we've been waiting for.
We both know how this wrong feels right.
Who's telling who'll tell the truth tonight.
I come home late and I can not see a twinkle left in her two eyes.
I can't sleep and it's been three days
since I have felt her sinless skin to mine.
How can I even take my own pride.
How will she ever even live this lie.
I will overcome,
and as for you...you will never see my face again.
I will overcome,
and as for you...you will never see my face again.
Why don't we leave our hearts at the door,
and act upon what we've been waiting for.
We both know how this wrong feels right.
Make me guess what your thinking
Make it hard for me to figure you out
The rush of love and you together
Are making me fall so quickly
So don't forget me.
Will you fall asleep in my arms tonight?

These white sheets that dance over and under us
are whispering stories of where other lovers have been.
And I'll tell you romantic things in order to seduce you and unwind you.
I'll fulfill your fantasy because undressing is the best thing.
I know I don't look like a sex symbol, but I am pretty close.
I still got my eyes wide open for the next best thing.
You threw yourself at me so we had an anytime state of mind.
I'll teach you things that you'd thought you'd never do.
They'll be ready for the guy you think means everything to you.
I know a way how to keep you up all night
do you want me to make you feel alright?
yeah! yeah!
Is it just for tonight?
yeah! yeah!
Well that's alright. [x2]
I still got my eyes wide open for the next best thing.
You threw yourself at me so we had an anytime state of mind.
I'll teach you things that you'd thought you'd never do.
They'll be ready for the guy you think means everything to you.
Well hey there baby! I think you know exactly what I've done.
But I ain't trying to fool anyone.
It's time for you to get on home cause I ain't that kinda man.
I've done it once, and i'll do it again.
Forget your name and you'll regret you ever met me.
I still got my eyes wide open for the next best thing.
You threw yourself at me so we had an anytime state of mind.
I'll teach you things that you'd thought you'd never do.
Hey vanity did you get lost on your way home?
It very well may seem
that there is something new out there for you.
Another glitch
Another glance
remakes you all new chances
to get what you deserve.
You've crossed the line this time.
I've always wondered what it feels like
to live in your parody of lies.
glamour has become your god,
but that dosen't mean that you've got some.
embellish yourself of your foul intentions.
The irony of these things
is that all of those who have lasted are in it now for the long run.
Are in it now for the long run
Hey vanity did you get lost on your way home?
It very well may seem
that there is something new out there for you.
Another glitch
Another glance
remakes you all new chances
to get what you deserve.
Your luxuries which are so cheap to me will only get you so far, get you so far
The girl behind the mask had my heart but now even her face is falling apart.
Where was she when I was sitting here waiting around for
waiting around for her to come abound
This is my blues baby
Yeah, she makes herself up to go out at night
To go out at night
While I'm waiting around for her, for her to come abound.
I'm sitting around for her to come abound
Scream all you want until we lie across the floor
I made you your new face and now you can't walk out that door
I know you can't walk out that door.
I know you can't walk out that door.
The irony of of these things
is that all of those who have lasted are in it now for the long run.
Hey vanity did you get lost on your way home?
It very well may seem
that there is something new out there for you.
Another glitch
Another glance
remakes you all new chances
to get what you deserve.
Scream all you want until we lie across the floor
Why don't you try taking lives for fun?
I never heard of such a thing.
I got reasons for what I do my reason to, my reason is you.
Let's walk the straight wood plank into our worst nightmares.
The ambience is set to blood red as our arms protect our heads.
And we are left up here to die but if I could just save one more life
I would say goodbye to thee, and kill the one next to me.
When you call my name the words don't mean anything.
A killing spree is born and I can't explain.
My armor has been downed so lower yours as well.
Makes for a faster kill.
This godforsaken chase of black and white has wheels.
There's nowhere else to run when blood treads from your heels.
So open up your pretty eyes cause honey I am a cut above the rest.
Move back people side to side.
Make way for the genocide.
Meet me when we both decide.
To meet when both these worlds collide.
I can't believe that this is it.
The worst is here to stay.
I'd rather die than live alone for God will take all
His sons home.
Front row seats for everyone to view this amazing event.
The headlines tonight:
A wanted man has died.
He took a knife to his neck.
When you call my name the words don't mean anything.
A killing spree is born and I can't explain.
My armor has been downed so lower yours as well.
Makes for a faster kill.
Makes for a faster kill.
Makes for a faster kill.
Makes for a faster kill.
Makes for a faster kill.
This godforsaken chase of black and white has wheels.
There's nowhere else to run when blood treads from your heels.
Watch your back!!!
I'm starting up again
Just to keep us from coming back
Don't act like you're surprised
We couldn't save it if we tried
I'm tired of all the lies and so are you
We were never a real thing,
all were was just two figures in the crowd
and that's all
and we'll say we'll change
but hey, it's bad news baby c'mon
Let's face the facts.
Should I wait up for you every single night
It doesn't even matter
Cause I'm singing oh oh oh oh oh
You're in a situation you can't control
Should I wait up for you every single night
It doesn't even matter
Cause I'm singing oh oh oh oh oh
You're in a situation you can't control
Tell me how bad does it hurt
when I'm inside of her
Tell me how bad does it feel
I forgot.
You don't feel
Go home and cry
Go home and cry
Take it all back
I don't have the time
The lips of our fate will become the ones of your loss and my relief.
I'll taunt em right in your face
and show you how it's done
Cause now my lips belong to another someone
I am dying just to tell you I'm in love (x4)
Watch your back!
I'm starting up again just to keep us from losing it come on!!
I know that you were surprised
but I am leaving all the lies behind
I know that you were surprised
but I am leaving all the lies behind
A second chance for a brand new life
and I wait here for you every single night
Well it doesn't even matter
Cause I am singing oh oh oh oh oh
The writings of the walls (*2)
and i wait up for you every single night
it doesn't even mater
oh im singing oh oh oh oh oh

Let's take things in our own hands and dance the night away.
Dance the night away.
As I saw you walking down the street
I knew, I knew that you'd be with me.
As I saw you walking down the street.
I knew, I knew that you'd be with me.
When real lovers meet you can tell by the way in their body heat
and the motions on the dance floor.
Accordions playing.
Tambourines making ourselves dance to this beat
of your Latina heat.
Now that we've found love,
let's give it a shot, yeah.
What do we got to lose?
Only fate will choose.
Only fate will choose.
What do we got to lose?
Unless it's up to you,
let's take things in our own hands and dance the night away.
As I saw you walking down the street
I knew, I knew
She va-va-vooms her way through everything and she's only seventeen.
Only seventeen.
Sometimes to believe is just to open your eyes.
So won't you open mine.
Now that we've found love let's give it a shot, yeah.
What do we got to lose?
Only fate will choose.
Only fate will choose.
What do we got to lose?
Unless it's up to you,
let's take things in our own hand and dance the night away.
When real lovers meet for the first time
you can tell by the body heat and the motions on the dance floor.
What do we got to lose?
Only fate will choose.
Only fate will choose.
What do we got to lose?
Unless it's up to you.
Let's take things in our own hands and dance the night away.
Feat. Jeff Loomis
I'm the one you call the liar
I'm the lamb who slayed the lion
Crawl upon your cross again
Play the victim till the end
What you've gained is nothingness
What you've learned is useless
You play the Martyr, crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
Dark are those that lie to lovers
Your fathers past, the weakest cover
Perched upon your soiled throne
Cast your sticks, I'll throw stones
Envy and Lust will drown you
Just look around you
You play the Martyr, crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
Remembering days we felt we were chosen
Those were the days when the hunger was all that we had
Can't take back the past, can't heal the wounds
No one can rescue your faded ideals
All that remains are scars of a wasted youth
You play the Martyr, crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
When will you ever learn to trust another, my friend
We owe it to ourselves to break the mold of what is normal.
We were better off before you came.
You showed up late to crash the party.
Well I'm so sorry and so are you.
I'll meet you outside soon to settle this.
Let's take ten paces from this spot.
Turn around and see who's got...
See who's got the better shot.
But you were a step behind so I shot mine,
and now you're on the ground.
That'll teach you to leave my town.
Well you know that I ain't messin',
or even second guessin'.
I think I might have taught you boys a lesson.
Well you know that I ain't messin',
or even second guessin'
I think I might have taught you boys
You say you wanna be the first to do something they've never seen
but now you're someone that you've never been
Let's take ten paces from this spot.
Turn around and see who's got...
See who's got the better shot.
But you were a step behind so I shot mine,
and now you're on the ground.
So let me say that this is my town
My kingdom
My crown
No one is allowed
So turn yourself around
You say you wanna be the first to do something they've never seen
but now you're becoming someone that you've never been
Let's take ten paces from this spot.
Turn around and see who's got...
See who's got the better shot.
But you were a step behind so I shot mine,
and now you're on the ground.
I'll meet you at the top my friend.
You know this story will never end.
And that's the way it goes.
They say it's time for us to fall back in line.
Between you and me we both know we've heard this about a thousand times.
We're running for our lives now because we couldn't prove a thing.
I hear voices all around me.
This is an ever lasting dream.
Wake me when it's over or right before I die.
We'll contemplate when both our minds are fading in and out of time.
Don't preach to me about the past that you once called a life we had.
But let's focus on the now.
We've got a clueless map and we've gotta find an exit out of here somehow.
Why'd you'd have to end up in this with me.
I can see no further hope in this situation.
Try and tell me everything before you die.
It doesn't even matter now we're doomed as hell.
Shouldn't I be buried by now.
The doctor says I'll just live again and that just goes to show.
They say my name is The Messenger, I bring news of death
for those who cross my path and that's the way it goes.
I couldn't help you if I tried but I can stand here
and pretend to die here with you.
Why'd you'd have to end up in this with me.
I can see no further hope in this situation.
Try and tell me everything before you die.
It doesn't even matter now we're doomed as hell.
It just goes to show how we were shot down here at the peak of our own road.
It just goes to show how we were shot down here at the peak of our own road.
Carnage will separate us into a million pieces.
Why'd you'd have to end up in this with me.
I can see no further hope in this situation.
Try and tell me everything before you die.
When we finally awake from all the stupid little games we've played
It reminds myself, was it worth it?
To look back on what we've wanted in the end
Any open invitation that you extend to me, from now on disregard
Where's the pulse inside your heart? Your every secret lovers frown.
Sit up straight and listen to me girl, pride comes before the fall in this world.
Sit up straight and pay attention please, and find yourself some meaning.
And I see so clearly now, the things that you've done to me
Did you think that this was just a game to me? I guess it was to you
You're like a dangerous gamble, all I know is where the chips are laying.
So roll the dice and start the playing. It's anyone's game to you.
Sit up straight and listen to me girl, pride comes before the fall in this world.
Sit up straight and pay attention please, and find yourself some meaning.
Well you've got me here now, so let me see what you've got tonight.
Oh yeah, the way you dance, the way you move, the way you shake
the way you groove, it doesn't do a thing to me.
Watch me, see me, leaving in disgust.
Sit up straight and listen to me girl, pride comes before the fall in this world.
Sit up straight and pay attention please, and find yourself some meaning.
The courage I have built up to around the current situation
evolved within the time it takes to say.
I'm tired now so leave us alone.
I just want to go home.
I'll say anything to be with you again.
The lights are off, but my eyes aren't shut.
You're sound asleep and that's just the way that I love you Bailey.
And the dirty streets that we've both seen,
on a Brazilian beach on New Year's Eve.
We drink all night,
and it rains all day.
But I am with you baby, so what else more is there to say.
In your perfect dress they'll teach you how to dance.
I'll still love you dear even if you can't.
The lights are off, but my eyes aren't shut.
You're sound asleep and that's just the way that I love you Bailey.
And the dirty streets that we've both seen,
on a Brazilian beach on New Year's Eve.
Eu...eu ja achei meu amor. [x7]
I've already found my love, I've already found my love,
I've already found my love but now you're gone. [x3]
Let's take our lives tonight.
That's what she said to me.
We don't need anyone to tell us what to do.
Cause baby, it's just me and you.
We'll take our lives tonight
I'll go if you, if you will go first
She slashed the blade across her wrist
I'm seeing blood drip everywhere
Oh my god, I think she's dead
Too bad she didn't know I wasn't gonna take my life tonight
I'll see you in hell
Your words are weapons so use them wisely
Shooting down yah brothers with your lyrical bullets
Teaching the children to go to war
Don't you know?
Life or death comes from your tongue
It's poison or pleasure which side are you on?
Cut down yah sister with your piercing melodies.
[Chorus:]
I am not the writer
I am just the messenger
The end is nigh, don't close your eyes
I've got something to say but will you hear
I've got a burden to bear
Who will hear let him hear
Who will fight let him go to war
Who will dare to step out of line and
Live for truth withheld from all?
Who will speak let him speak
Who will sing let them say a word
Who will challenge the life we live
By trying to forgive?
Now everyday on the news the same
Somebody's dying and someone's to blame
They only tell you what they want you to hear
They speak of justice but nobody lives there.
We need a miracle to stay alive,
Cause breathing don't count no more we got to try
You woke this morning thinking that you're free
Or is that what you're controlled to believe?
[Chorus:]
I am not the writer
I am just the messenger
The end is nigh, don't close your eyes
I've got something to say but will you hear
I've got a burden to bear.
I am not the writer
I am just the messenger
The end is nigh, don't close your eyes
I've got something to say but will you hear
I've got a burden to bear.
Now I am not pretending
Freedom is in ending
It's an illusion that you're fighting for
You're a slave to the system don't let them feed you lies no more
Messenger...
Always bring's bad news
Just a trick of fate
Am I the one you abuse?
You got me all choked up
Riding in the wind
Don't get left behind
So easy to see
Oh I can't complain
What's this trick up your sleeve?
Am I the one you'll blame?
You got me all messed up
Riding through the wind
Don't get left behind
Messenger!
Always bring's bad new's
Just a trick of fate
Am I the one you abuse?
You got me all messed up
Riding through the wind
I was just looking on Myspace
And then I saw your message
I was surprised to see you there
We had a conversation
But I lost the connection
You know where to find me again
Wherever you are
Whenever you want
I will be on Messenger
Wherever you are
Whenever you want
I will be connected too
Wherever you are
Whenever you want
I will be on Messenger
Wherever you are
Whenever you want
I'm on Messenger for you
You're far away from my side
But we can talk each other
Or send me an email: I love you
We have great conversations
That bring me inspiration
You know where to find me again
Wherever you are
Whenever you want
I will be on Messenger
Wherever you are
Whenever you want
I will be connected too
Wherever you are
Whenever you want
I will be on Messenger
Wherever you are
Whenever you want
Silence those who protest
Opponents of the government
Use the courts to extend
Powers to repress dissent
Dig up their past... KILL
Discredit their name... KILL
Divide their cause... KILL
Stifle debate... KILL! KILL
Single out those who speak
Who question your authority
Target those who resist
And lavel them all terrorists
Smear them with lies... KILL
Accuse them of hate... KILL
To justify all the horrors
Wrought in your name
Kill the MESSENGER
YOU MUST KILL THE MESSENGER
To shield all consequence of the lie
The agenda you should never engage
YOU MUST KILL THE MESSENGER
Thje mortal enemy of the lie
