Suzdal (Russian: Су́здаль) is a town in Vladimir Oblast, Russia, situated northeast of Moscow, 26 kilometers (16 mi) from the city of Vladimir, on the Kamenka River. Population: 10,535 (2010 Census preliminary results); 11,357 (2002 Census); 12,063 (1989 Census).
The history of the town dates back to at least the year 1024. It is called Sursdalar or Sudrdala (the southern valley) in the Norse Sagas - which probably also is the origin of the town's name. For centuries it functioned as the capital of several Russian principalities. It forms part of the Golden Ring. It was granted city status in 1777.
After a decline in political importance, the town rose in prominence as a religious center with numerous monasteries and a remarkable ratio of churches to citizens: at one point, forty churches for four hundred families. Today, the town operates as an important tourist center, featuring many fine examples of old Russian architecture — most of them churches and monasteries. Walking through the town one might get the feeling that every third building is a church. Although having over ten thousand residents, Suzdal still retains the look and feel of a small village with streams and meadows everywhere nearby, and chicken and livestock a common sight on the city streets, some of which are unpaved. This juxtaposition of stunning medieval architecture with its pastoral setting lends Suzdal a picturesque charm, and in the summer artists and easels are a common sight.
I'm going down to suicide alley
'Cos the air that I breathe tastes better down there
I'm going down to suicide alley
'Cos it seems as if, as if it's the only place for me
And I'm going down to suicide alley
Where you can't get at me
And I'm going down to suicide alley
Where I can be what I want to be
I'm going down to suicide alley
'Cos the air that I breathe tastes better down there
I'm going down to suicide alley
'Cos it seems as if, as if it's the only place for me
And I'm going down to suicide alley
Where you can't get at me
And I'm going down to suicide alley
Where I can be what I want to be
You won't eat away at my mind with your ideas of decency
I'll be in suicide alley being who and what I want to be
You won't eat away at my mind with your ideas of decency
[Chorus:] they're very bored and they're suicidal. they're very bored and they're suicidal. they're very bored and they're suicidal. livin in the swamps of jersey. toxic dumps and poison skies. they think they got nothin' to live for so they fo and take their lives. [Chorus] in a teenage depression ya never see things very clear. don't get burned by the bullshit. ya gotta get your life in gear. [Chorus] it doesn't matter what you got. it doesn't matter who you are. ya gotta break the chains on you. an' slit the wrists of the hand of doom. no more suicides, no more suicides, no more suicides, no more suicides
Wait for me by the banshee tree
Let me be your wailing companion
And pass 'em on by, don't look 'em in the eye
Suicide Alley is callin'
And you thought you were dreaming
But you could wake up dead and you'll never ever know what's real
All this damage is runnin' loose in your head
And it really matters to me
Oh, no, baby don't go
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
Oh, no, baby don't go
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
Downtown baby, it's a million to one
You might as well name your poison
And stand in line by the exit sign
Suicide Alley is waiting
You're a loose cannonball on a sinking ship
From the belly of the beast, shot from the hip
But you don't have to be going down the dark hall
You're not tied to the chair, you're not nailed to the wall
Oh, no, baby don't go
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
Oh, no, baby don't go
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
Sitting naked by the window in the middle of the night
I can see you wearing your halo
If only in the daybreak of the dirty street light
I know baby wasn't born to follow
You know I wasn't born, I was spat out at the wall
And nobody even knew my name
The sun hatched me out, cradle and all
On the corner of first and insane
For the souls of the departed and the renegades of love
You and me we gotta be all we dreamed of
In the ruins of mischief through the ravages of time
You got a place in this world of mine
Oh, no, baby don't go
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
Oh, no, baby don't go
Walkin' down Suicide Alley
It's late again I'm finishing up and going to bed
Completely drained my body is like a plant before the
rain
No life sparks left suicidal I'm crawling near the edge
Nothing seems nice anymore I'm so fucked up
So sorry for the world
Suicidal that's what I am
I have no feelings left for life itself
My monotonous life will disappear
Bring down Jesus and let him slave before my god
What have I done so wrong I try to live my life the way
I was taught come kick me hard kick me until I wake up
No life sparks left suicidal I'm crawling near the edge
Nothing seems so right anymore I'm so fucked up
So sorry for the world
Suicidal that's what I am
I have no feelings left for life itself
My monotonous life will disappear
I can't close my eyes
Staring straight into the empty sky
Feeling trapped an overfilled with lies
I can't deny
These lovely thoughts of death has crossed my mind
I can't deny
Death is on my mind
I can't close my eyes
I'm feeling trapped inside a world of lies
I can't see what's real it's all disguised
I can't deny
These lovely thoughts of death has crossed my mind
I hate this world
I hate this life
I focus on the strength
The strength I'm building up inside
I feel it growing stronger every day
Strong enough to take my life away
I can't close my eyes
My final rest saved me from all those lies
It's over, I'm free from this pain called life
I can't deny
I'm dead, I'm cold, I'm six feet under ground
I can't deny
I'm dead, I'm cold, it ain't no lie
I focus on the strength
The strength I'm building up inside
I feel it growing stronger every day
Strong enough to take my life away
Here I am, no longer on my own
Going through things, makes me a little stronger
Wiser than before, yes I am
Older plans still feel young
I don't wanna hide, I just wanna lie here a little more
I don't want to move from this place
I don't want to fight, I just want lie here with you
Lie so still
Everything might change when you go away
So we have to use our songs melodies
And here we are much further then we were before
Moving on will only make us a little stronger
I don't want to fight, I just want to lie here a little more
I don't want to move unless I have to
I dont want to hide. I just want to lie here with you
I don't wanna move, just wanna lie here so still
Lie here so still
Never my change
But I'm willing to take the risk again
Never my change
Verse 1:
You wanna know, what's driven me down, to the bottom of this pit.
Well, I took my time in dealing with your love.
And all the pain I tried to forget. Well it hurts to say that.
Pre-Chorus:
I'm afraid.
From the grave I made, now you push me in,
And you're leaving me to die.
Chorus:
Well, you are the same as me.
Don't tell me it's over, it's over.
Verse 2:
Well, I took a chance, and drifted back into your world.
All the memories we made, the wonders that we shared.
The night we gave it all away.
Well, it's sad to say.
(Pre-Chorus)
Break:
I'm suicidal
I will never try to hide this way you look at me.
Feel that
In the deepest
Darkness
Of Despair
Feel
Somewhere deep inside
I'm gonna end up what I've tried
Visions
Dark suicidal visions
Can't regain
Balance
How can I
Stay alive
When my brain is trying to kill me?
Visions
Dark suicidal visions
Walk in the dark
Cry for help
One more time...
Memory of Loss
Through your tears
I watch you bled all alone
Through your eyes
I cut your wrists so long
Through your tears
I speak for you my unborn
Through your mind
Circle the ground
Footwork spinning about
Slowly lift the ground
Souls burning bright and loud
I have so much to offer
And yet know how
All locked up in my head
I won't let it out
CHORUS
For is there a chance to survive
In this life on a suicide hill
For is there a chance to survive
In this life on a suicide hill
Realized what I've done
All bones cracking
Twisting my eyes around
My love's raging
Charging down the hill
Eternity wait for me
I feel like flying away
Taking from space
Borrowing from time
Living on the cue
Forgetting sometimes
Making mistakes
Chasing the sun
Asking the crystal ball to tell
Who has won
Setting the pace
That brings you down
Thinking illusion
Can't figure it out
Taking the prey
Not making the sound
Seeking to find
A higher ground
So still, beauty is found
So still, silence: no sound
So still, Heaven's around
So still, taking you down
Chancing a hand
At making a grand
Losing it all
Confusion abounds
Placing a stake
On what's guaranteed
Losing it all
Feeling deceived
Looking around
Seasons on end
Where it's all gone
Reason commends
Children have grown
Left all alone
We're all on our own
We're all on our own
So still, beauty is found
So still, silence: no sound (making no sound)
So still, Heaven's around
So still, taking you down (taking you down)
