Elegy is a 2008 drama film directed by Spanish director Isabel Coixet and based on a Philip Roth novel, The Dying Animal. Starring Penélope Cruz, Ben Kingsley, and Dennis Hopper, the film is set in New York City, but was filmed in Vancouver.
David Kepesh is a cultural critic and professor, in a state of 'emancipated manhood'. Previously married, he has a son who has never forgiven him for leaving his mother. His relationships with women are usually casual, brief and sexual in nature. His Pulitzer Prize-winning friend, George O'Hearn, suggests that he "bifurcate" his life: have conversations and enjoy art with a wife, and "keep the sex just for sex".
Believing himself to be an independent and self-actualized individual, he encounters Consuela Castillo, a beautiful and confident student who attends one of his lectures. She captures his attention like no other woman, and they begin a serious relationship. David is also in a casual 20-year relationship with Caroline, another former student.
Over dinner, Consuela invites David to her graduation party. George advises him to leave her before she leaves him. Consuela waits for an answer, but David only promises, "I'll have to check my schedule." Consuela is frustrated. In the end, he agrees to attend. On the day of the event, David phones Consuela and claims he has blown a tire and is stuck in bad traffic and it will be unavoidably delayed. In reality, he is sitting in his car, anxious about meeting Consuela's family. Heartbroken and annoyed, Consuela hangs up. Sometime over the course of the next two years, David introduces his friend, George at a poetry conference; George collapses on the stage and later passes away. David's son Kenny is embroiled in an affair.
[Instrumental]
He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails
He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view
An amen in his due
He is gazing at the skies
Without yearning in his eyes
And he will follow the invisible trace
When the sirens sing again...
The spring is in the air, the silence in the skies
The wind is in his hair, the moon is in his eyes
The bats play on but he'll be gone
Before the world has left the night
...the birds sing on but he has gone
Summer breeze, kisses me
Autumn leaves retire
Apathy, breaking free
Still waiting for the sun
See me as I wait
See me wait
I can't see another
See me wait
Forever
Reach a plea, honey feed
Open, feel like fire
Turning red, above my head
Reaching to recover
See me as I wait
See me wait
I can't see another
See me wait
I can't end another
Open your arms (See me wait)
Just see how it is (Another)
Open your arms (See me wait)
Just see how it is, see how it is (Another)
Open your arms
Just see how it is (Another)
Reaching again (See me wait)
Long evenings full of longing
Low-spirited my mornings
Full of longing too my nights
And all the time the bitterest.
'Tis my lovely I long for
It is my darling I miss
My black-browed one I grieve for.
There's no hearing my treasure
No seeing my marten-breast
No hearing her in the lane
Driving below the window
Chopping the wood by the stack
Clinking outside the cook-house:
In the earth my berry lies
In the soil she's mouldering
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my trasure
Please don't look at me this way
I am from the same seed as you
Take me back to the womb
I am weary of this life
Don't believe in my eyes
Don't believe in my mind
Don't believe in right or wrong
Don't believe in cruel or kind
But all this talk is only poetry
Only as true as we would believe
We must live to fight the negative
Not to court the self in defeat oh oh oh oh
In defeat oh oh oh oh
Oh the pain of life is sweet
Is it wrong to long for death?
Must I cling to the thrills of life
Ash to ash and dust to dust
But all this talk is only poetry
Only as true as we would believe
We must live to fight the negative
Not court the self in defeat oh oh oh oh
In defeat oh oh oh oh
You have looked at me this way
We are all from the same seed
Take us forward through the tomb
There's no finish to a life
Crying. The anger and sorrow in your eyes is shining
thru your disguise, you can not hide all youer lies!
Falling. The abyss you enter is so deep, it doesn't
matter how much you will weep, you will never reach
the ground again. You're draining your emotions,
the poison is your God. Injection for depression. The
needle is your rod. Your heart will never feel. The
love that it will steal.
[Chorus:] NEXT TIME YOU SEE THE STARS ALIGHT,
LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE WINTER NIGHT. DO THINK
OF ME, REMEMBER ME. SO READS MY ELEGY. NEXT TIME I
SEE THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT LIKE WHITE EYES IN THE
DARKENED LIGHT, I'M FREE NO CHAINS ARE HOLDING ME.
BUT STILL I LIVE BY YOUR ELEGY.
Leaving. The world I leave will never know. But below
you will see my glow and the fire shall be eternal.
Weeping. The tears you cry, I know the taste. Can't
you see they're such a waste. You can never bring
me back again. You'll never know what happened but I
couldn't go on. It felt like I was running a race
that no man ever won. My soul will always love the
ones I am far above...
[Chorus]
Tears are falling... Tears are falling in the dark.
Your fears are calling. I've left my mark.
Burning. The flames that rise will be my end. So on for
now I will pretend that I am back on earth again.
Lonely. The shadows haunt me as I burn. Now I know
there is no return. My soul will slowly turn to dust.
I'm passing thru dimensions where noone's ever been.
I'm heading for the secrets that no man's ever seen.
What lies below will I ever know?(!?)
So finally here we are,
I'm walking on her path.
Soon my shade will melt with the night,
setting up my trap.
And like on a spider's web
you'll get trapped by me!
Oh, no. Please don't be afraid,
I'll surely take care of you...
We are victims or hunters,
this is our life (just our life... )
and with a face like yours,
you are the nicest prize...
Once I asked to myself
how far I went for his lust,
but your finest features
really pay me off.
You've been my challenge,
but now I will set your free.
We are victims or hunters,
this is our life (just our life... )
and with a face like yours,
Elegies are to be sung
Winds of Armageddon come
Ignorance within your bliss
Soon you will atone for this
In your carcinogenic haze
Baneful of a newer age
Flowers of a different scent
Poisons of the Earth's lament
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her, oh
Take another deeper breath
Inhale invisible death
Pollution fills the land and sky
Forever you justify
Take a deeper look and see
Nothing's left to future seeds
Icicles melt into blood
Ashes where there once was wood, oh
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her
Pain of life has pulled you under
Left you there to bleed and wonder
Open heart is torn asunder
Wrong the wrongs that you've been suffered
Kill we scream in roaring thunder
Destroy all, leave all things plundered
Acid rain cries her pain
Full bloom, a world gone insane
Her anger, the flower
Plays God with all of our lives
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her, oh
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Did you ever see me
Or could you even see at all?
I looked at your cold white face
So still, so empty
Yet I knew you were at rest
Much more comforted than I
What else could I find
To replace who you were?
It was the carefree unrestricted love
That you never meant to give
You never had the choice
It was your innocence
It was part of who you were
The pathetic sight of your sunken eyes
The angular lines of your hips and waist
The light and the dark
Of your vallied ribs
The skeletal draw
Of your temples and cheeks
Your breath but a wisp
From your string thin lips
The acrid stink of your face and mouth
Unsound unsure...your shaky legs
Just when you're about to
Learn to smile again
I'm going to be the one to
Elegy
Teardrop on a fragile eyelash
She's looking like a dream
Hoping for some understanding
And answer or at least
Cunning word a single sentence
To restore her heart
Aching since the day I left her
Crossing lonely seas
Silent tears of a woman
Make a warrior cry
Heaven, I beg you
Please release hopes from fears
This is my elegy
Do you know what I feel?
This is my elegy
Do you believe it's real?
Will I hold you in my arms again?
Dewdrops on a single rosebud
This purity of rain
Reminds me of the moment I left her
Kisses filled with pain
And if I should leave her waiting
For another year
Will she ever know the answer?
Will she follow me?
Silent tears of a woman
Make her warrior cry
Heaven, I beg you
Please release hopes from fears
This is my elegy
Do you know what I feel?
This is my elegy
Do you believe it's real?
Will I hold you in my arms..
Hold you in my arms again?
Cunning word, a single sentence
To restore her heart
Aching since the day I left her
a rose of sigh
is fading on my knees
of thorns incised when
i broke her down the trees
a shout so quiet
is shivering in me
and from the far
an elegy
passing hurts
like fragrance in a breeze
is still nourish
my elegy
sowed the sorrow
on my skin
and broken vows
in endless silence
but the try
to repass
were a sigh
just drowned in me
carry me
in due course
Who is this hurting mother?
I don't want to be her now
Who in the hell's that sad reflection?
How did I lose myself?
How many time I walk the river, wondering what life's for
Sobbing beneath a staid performance
Too scared to let it out
Duty calls...duty calls...
Who is that hurting daughter,
going down the rabbit hole?
Falling into a crushing darkness.
Shedding the skins of the soul
How many times I walk the river
wanting to lose myself
Weight of an overcoat of sorrow
Too sensitive for this world
Duty calls...duty calls...
Time to do the drop off
Time to make the meals
Time to greet the neighbors
Be a perfect ten
Smiling exterior, but nervous and distressed
Plodding on this treadmill, take another pill
Start another morning, wake to the alarm
Rise up in the darkness, get inside the car
Join the rank and file, thousands in the flow
Minnows on the freeway, on and on it goes
I don't want to go, I don't want to live this
I don't want this life, there is more than this
Who is that serious child, the one left alone?
Mother's in the kitchen crying again, no use to ask for help
I am the stopwatch on a bomb.
I have no the strength to carry on.
My valediction waits for me.
It makes me scared to go to sleep.
My destination can't be far.
I'm In the backseat of this car.
My belt is buckled, locked and clasped.
And I'm not sure how long this ride will last.
I've seen so much. And I've had dreams
But I can't tell you what they mean
And I've been far. Too far to see.
And where I've been is part of me
And if my life goes flashing by
Like they all say I hope that I
See my entire family.
It's so much bigger than you'd ever thought it to be.
And I've heard songs and harmonies.
I've kept them here inside of me.
And I've had friends-The best indeed.
And who I've loved is part of me.
I can't tell you how much you meant to me.
Never had any opportunity
You're not here to accept apologies
Conceptual imaginary, it seems so real which world do you live in
I sense the emptiness inside the brain no apparent function, it has no name
nor does it see reality an existance in an endless masquerade
People adoptpeculiar ways interpretation caught in the maze
instinct the essence of life somehow changed effecting the inside
My life is a world in a visual vortex
where reality and thought drift through time
I'm a millionmiles from anywhere a solitary isolation bare
where fantasies are real as can be a world within a world no sense of reality
My life is a world in a visual vortex where reality and thought
go spinning through time a parralax world in a visual vortex
[Music: Henk van der Laars]
[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]
In a dangerous environment, a single mother fights against tradition.
Protecting her son from the corrupt influences surrounding them both.
She tries to raise him as a good and honest person.
Year after year, many sacrifices have to be made,
but the white lies and tales she tells each Christmas,
cause the child to develop a warped perception of life.
[Verse]
Danger lurks in every place
A mother fights to protect her child
Tradition stipulates its way
It's easy for them to say
Influences all around
Hard to change, creatures of habit
Sacrifices must be made
A few white lies she must tell
[Bridge]
The pressure lay on her shoulders
Decisions unfair
Desperately seeking comfort
Searching for strength not there
[Chorus]
Have no fear
Unorthodox ways, unorthodox methods
Alone and afraid, different from others
All alone
She carries the strain, the future uncovers
Hide your tears
[Verse]
Years of hardship and of pain
Corruption lingers in all the dark corners
Her efforts are in vain
His perception of life has changed
Don't waste your time
He's lost, it's time to pray
[Bridge]
Stupid to point a finger, she isn't to blame
Believing that life will bring him strength
The courage to find his way
(Music, lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry)
Growing up in extreme poverty,
and living in a town filled with empty promises,
the young boy is filled with scepticism.
He battles between right and wrong.
Facing a horrifying decision, which no child should have to make,
his whole life could be turned upside down.
Does he listen to the wishes of his kind, but stressful mother,
to remain living in poverty, and be persecuted by many?
The alternative is to take a road into crime and deception,
with his so called friends.
Either way he'll suffer the consequences.
(Verse)
His mother sad, now she's left alone
No shoulder to cry on, no hand to hold
To stay alive, worked her fingers to the bone
Guilt nor shame, her child must have a home
She tried to teach him right from wrong
A town without vision, they don't belong
Eternal friends, persuasive lies
Tainted images, through sorry eyes
(Bridge)
Don't be shy, pull up a stool, stick with us
You'll do okay
Money talks, that's their rule,
Once you join, you're here to stay
you can't walk away
(Chorus)
Lord knows she tried hard to save him
The angel without wings
(Verse)
Stigmatised, the poor, the few
Opportunities given, but not to you
He searched along the corridors of power
A fruitless journey, his darkest hour
(Bridge)
By any rule he doesn't play,
Now he's the keeper, no-one's fool
Who said crime doesn't pay
All his fears have disappeared
(Chorus)
Lord knows she tried so hard, to save him
Lord knows she tried so hard, to save him
(Middle-8)
The angel without wings
Time, will it tell, a choice of heaven or hell
(Repeat chorus)
(Outro)
The years have passed by, the leaves have fallen
Influental called themselves friends gifts they gave some kind of trend
A small town girl who never asked why easy access cum' don't be shy
For no apparent reason when the stakes were so high
She started to play the losers game
Common sense had... no place in their lives we're not so bad is it a crime
Cheap solution for the rich to get high no restitution livin' a lie
They should have known better not to turn a blind eye
Instead they just left her to die
Fly, children in the sky no escape unless you're willing to die
A price you'll pay, no other way so why do ya wanna play it's losers game
The dealer always wins
Such potential could have gone far her real firends cried
Don't know who you are they never got through to save her in time
(Music: Henk van der Laars & Dirk Bruinenberg)
(Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry)
Captivated by his addiction for over indulgence,
his abuse of people touches the very core
of what mankind perceives as being uncivilised.
Hatred, like an infection, spreads from one victim to another.
The resulting factor is a broken spirit; a shadow of his former self.
Suffocating in his own remorse, he fears the unexpected.
His nervousness takes a form of it's own.
It manifests and takes control.
To him it's real.
He's unaware that his mind has shut out his surroundings.
Isolated and alone, he starts to fear, fear itself.
(Verse)
You know what they say, your many victims
What comes around, goes around
Over indulgence, uncivilized
Uncertainty, created your discontentment
(Bridge)
His spirit is broken, lives in a world unreal
An infectious hatred
See how it feels
Now look at you
(Chorus)
Manifestation of fear
Man's own creation
Manifestation of fear
The mind's exaggeration
(Verse)
First the unexpected, then the unexplained
Being a victim, that makes him so afraid
The resulting factor, his fear's coming alive
Silently, he's slowly suffocating
(Bridge)
His spirit is broken, lives in a world unreal
Suffer gods children, see how it feels
Now look at you
(Repeat chorus)
(Middle-8)
Locked away, all alone
He doesn't know what to expect
Afraid of fear, fear itself
(Music: Chris Allister & Henk van der Laars)
(Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry)
Gradually he no longer hates the world, nor himself.
Once the epitome of all that's evil, now is a guiding light.
His reformation, to put right his wrong doings.
Thus he is able, together with the strength from a kind heart,
to search out the damaged souls from his wicked past.
Not only to repay them in money,
but also to give the reassurance and belief,
that mankind has the ability to change for the good.
(Verse)
Infantile dillusion, played the biggest part
Anger caused confusion
A childhood fear, of fear itself
Mere mortals playing god
It's time to stop, feel the yearning
Mother Nature's calling you, a metamorphosis working
(Bridge)
Your body's aching all the time
A shadow lurking
Your saviour's waiting in the wings
(Verse)
Night turns to day, only shame remains real
Take their misery away, redeem
Heal the pain they feel
(Bridge)
A chance to turn it all around, a time for sharing
Bury your fears into the ground
(Chorus)
Met-a-morphosis
Put your hatred aside, hear the calling
Metamorphosis
A transformation of kind forming, a season of good is dawning
(Middle-8)
Put away those evil thoughts
Open up your heart and breathe
(Chorus)
Met-a-morphosis
Put your hatred aside, hear the calling
Metamorphosis
A transformation of kind, a season of good is dawning
Hear the calling, have no fear!
(Outro)
The cries of tomorrow, was all you could hear
But the road you have chosen, has wiped away the tears
(Music: Henk van der Laars & Dirk Bruinenberg)
(Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry)
Having taken a path of no return, he develops a personality of power,
and turns supreme manipulation into an art form.
On the surface he portrays a person being of caring and consideration,
while his dark side hides calmly, until the moment of truth can appear.
(Verse)
Full of charm, so open minded
Lets you talk 'till you're blue in the face
Compassion sincere
His own portrayal, the proud example to others
When in fact, a covenant he's made
With the dark side of hell
(Bridge)
Wait! Don't be fooled by him
Stop! don't go near him
His appearance can change, like the chameleon
(Chorus)
We're all his helpless subjects
And like his damaged toys
Once they're of no importance
With savage grace destroys
(Verse)
So supreme, a master to many
An' acts like a friend, offers comfort to all
Patiently, telling wild fabrications
Gaining your trust the thrill, the thrill of it all
(Repeat bridge & chorus)
[Parry]
On the surface things look different
What's underneath you cannot tell
For years it seems that everything is going well
Behind the laughter hides a mystery
Shrouded in a friendly veil
The moment when you're making progress
All things fail
A challenge to be solved, they can't resist
The chase
Their masquerade
This dangerous path you're on, what if your instinct's wrong
Beware the wrath of a patient man
Danger, danger
Danger Lies
Close beside, close beside you
Danger, danger, close beside
Waiting to take you away
What we perceive as being normal
A twisted mind won't stipulate
To occupy their genius a masquerade
Way down a no-where road you're drifting
Into a no-where place you'll stay
[Rondat/Parry]
Hiding in fear
Such abnormality
Close your eyes now, say a prayer
Memories, a punishment so real
They played their cold and isolated games
Games, that wicked children played
They made you feel afraid
Paralysed, a child's imagination
Lost
You're caught inside a spell
Subconsciously afraid
The answer lies, behind the tears
Fight
Don't hide away you're strong
Enough to face the truth
Which hides behind, behind the tears
Reality, it comes in shapes and forms
Concentration, chase those fears away
Thought a power, the power to be free
[Van der Laars/Parry]
Wait a minute, hold your horses there
What's the rush now, take your time
Easy does it, the hours the seconds they
They last forever, an infinity of time
Each day and forever, endlessly the same
Nothing ever happens worth, mentioning again
Significantly quiet as always
It's all we wanna do, we're killing time
Killing time
There's nothing else we'd rather do
Rather do
Than killing time (Just Killing Time)
Late a minute, an hour a perfect time
It doesn't matter now, take a while
Easy does it, don't have a heart attack
The brain keeps warning us, messages of kind
Patience is virtue, at least that's what they say
What's the point in hurrying, take it day by day
[Van der Laars/Bruinenberg/Parry]
Watch out... I feel the strain
Arms in the air, pointing at me
No doubt... am I to blame
I swear it's the truth, my life's not a game
Against the wall...
Waiting for someone to come, and crucify me
I'll take it all...
If humiliation is worse, than all the pain
Sweet revenge is all they seek
Never smile, they never speak
But pretend to be your friend
Then strike you down
Sweet revenge, hatred deep
Say a prayer, then watch you weep
Strong, the mighty, one and all
Each one will fall
Too late, the chase has begun
My every move, they're right behind me
It's never fate, when damage is done
To the bitter sweet end
'Til the battle is won
I'm standing tall...
Freedom and justice have gone, they stripped it from me
I'll take 'em all...
The courage to fight everyone
[Van der Laars/Parry]
Known well and favoured
There's no limit to his charm
This illusive adversary, unforeseeable consequences
Absurd behaviour, a macabre like frame of mind
Living for the moment, not a care in the world
Excuses one and more... proclamations he'll make
You must, beware... a hand and arm he'll take
...He'll disregard us all
Though in thee we trust
Lead us not to temptation
Help us one and all
In the company of a force majeure
Lead us, lead us not... beyond the realms of our salvation
No sacrifice is more... than following a force majeure
Each vow is broken, it's a total waste of life
An urge to lead us on, irresistible strange compulsions
Euphoric notions, superior in kind
Under a moonless sky, I stood, I laughed, I cry
seasons turned to tears, as I fought the years
This shattered soul of mine, has got a thousend sides
Remind me to win when the morning rings
Don't hope...
[Chorus]
Should I take it on my knees?
In waves it comes...
It washes over me, it carries me along
Will it leave me when I'm gone?
I'm so young, I'm too young... help me...
Now when I close my eyes,
I see the eyes of faith
They burn in my face
A thousend lies, oh why...
Leave my soul to bleed
Won't you erase me?
Go where the sceptre sways
It rules it's reign, I pray for the end of time,
now I've crossed the line, don't hope...
don't hope...
[Chorus]
Now when I close my eyes, I realize the truth
No more lies, look at the sun for the last time
my friends
The final parade
After you my dear,
in mutial use we're one, you see
You will know, how it feels to sing along,
with angelsongs, and ride the glory winds
Rule the tide
lose all thats you, all you can memorize
It's to bad, you're stuck in your stupidity
Use your head, it's just a game of give and take
Make your choice, it's joy versus reality
In a dream a woman cried from high above
Telling me In heaven they don't have enough
Can't you see, weOre messengers of higher breed
You and me,
We're all that's left of men's supremacy
[Chorus]
Eyes behold; one of these days all my dreams'll enfold
Lies scream; It's over... over...
In return; for 'all the faith' that you had in me
You all may dig your holes
So in love my dear
By my side, while I'm inside of you
Yes it seems IOm seeing others down the side
Don't blame me I'm far to sick to realize
Seventeen, virginity on hand and knees
Stick with me
The needle shows just what you mean to me
[Rondat/Parry]
Crystal drops of rain
I make a wish and hope... to die
Is such a feeling very strange
I'm living my life
On borrowed time
In this weird existence
I'm not afraid
I'm gettin' ready to stand in line
An' I believe, there's no disgrace
In wanting more, than just this plain old life
An' I believe, beyond this time and space
Well it's crystal clear, what life is all about
As futile as it seems
I'm never losing sight
Of how important life can be
So I embrace the test of time
And gaze up to the stars
Waiting for my turn to come... my other life
I believe, there's no disgrace
In wanting more, than just a plain old life
In wanting more, than just an ordinary life
An' I believe, beyond this time and space
I believe, time and space
[Helmantel/Bruinenberg/Parry]
D'you ever get the feeling that, you're never welcome
You walked into a place feel the atmosphere change
My body's trembling, I sense a presence strange within
A ghostly silence, a place for the living dead
Icehouse... a sanctuary for strangers
Where evil's waiting
Icehouse... your darkest secrets are known
In this icehouse... a pure demoralization
A cold frustration
Icehouse... darkness glows
No sign of life, the air you breathe is thick and frozen
A shallow grave awaits, a home for the living dead
Don't venture in, you'll just regret this sight appalling
Verse:
(Drake)
I'm Tryin To Do It All Tonight, I Got Plans
I Got A Certain Lust For Life, And As It Stands
Everything Is Goin' As Right, As It Can
They Tryna Shoot Down My Flight,
Before It Lands... Before It Lands
But You Can Miss Me With All That,
Diss Me Then Crawl Back,
I Really Wish Ya'll Would Fall Back,
But Gettin' Rich Suppose To Solve That,
And These Days Women Make Offers,
And Who The Hell Am I To Say (No, No, No),
My Ex Send Late Night Text,
Cause She Don't Know How To Let (Go, Go, Go),
She In Love,
And As For Them Pretty Light Skinned Models Standin' In The Cold,
Aw Yah They With Us,
Let Them Girls In For A Drink,
And I'm All, In They Ear,
Saying She Should Be The One I See,
Everytime, That I'm Here,
But When Am I Really Even Here,
Black Surburban With The Tint On It,
Fresher Than A Pillow With A Mint On It,
The Game Got These Old Hand Prints On It,
But Imma Be The One To Pour Cement On It,
Uh, And Start Over,
And Show Up In A Mars Yellow Tux,
I Don't Really Give A fuck And We Only Gettin' Older,
So What I Tend To Do, Is To Think Of Today As The Past,
It's Funny When You're Coming In First,
But You Hope That You Last (You Just Hope That It Lasts)
Throw Your One's Up In The Air
Throw Your One's Up In The Air For Her
Throw Your One's Up In The Air
[Van der Laars/Parry]
Responsibility and blame, tall orders made
Affecting the lives of your friends, for whom you care
Serious doubts within
A nightmarish tale look what you've done
A sacrifice means many things
Determined you won't give in
The answer is loud and clear
Against all the odds you're determined to win
A simple solution exists
Such loyalty and trust you gave
To all your friends
Impossibilities, this task you face
Solutions for everyone
The perfect resolve can it be found
Loyalty and trust, both you gave
Simplicity a saving grace, as clear as day
Don't be cruel to be kind, just change your ways
Searching your soul inside
[Parry]
What you see you must not touch, what you see
What you want you cannot have, what you want
As Adam plucked the apple from the tree he never realised
A chemical and biological attraction, came to be
Consummate, your one desire
Physically connect as one
To copulate, will quench the fire
Burning fiercely in the soul and mind
What you want
You know you can't touch
What you see
You know you can't have
What you need
It's just what you feel
What you can't have
You want more and more
Once you've had a taste you're hypnotized
Forbidden fruit resist the call
An appetite, to self-indulge
Keep's growing stronger by the day
Your self-control, you're bound to lose
If you continue in this feverish way
Once you've had a taste you're hypnotized
Forbidden fruit resist the call
Don't be drawn into it's sweet desires
Forbidden fruit can change it's form
Everything is spiritual, everything has a spirit, everything is brought to
you by the creator
As Adam plucked the apple from the tree he never realised
A chemical and biological attraction, came to be
I gave you freedom, don't hand me your pain
A loversheart burning, now has vanished in the flames
Our kind of love was to strange to comprehend
It's beauty as fragile as circles in the sand
Maybe one morning comes,
and I can see it clearly in the sky
Shining in my eyes
Your soul is a temple, all secrets retained
and why share your feelings when you have the world
to blame
Surrounded by water, your problems are oh so deep
You're swimming a lifetime,
but there ain't no land to see
Maybe one morning comes
and you can see it clearly in the sky
Shining in your eyes
[Chorus]
I can see, but can you see
I can hear reality, knocking upon my door
Can't take it anymore,
words left unspoken, not to return
The mind is a weapon, a way to suppress
But how can I blame you, for you had no place to crash
Keep hope for the future and hold the strawend tight
Defeat isn't final when there's still a way to fight
And then the morning comes
and you can see it clearly in the sky
Shining in your eyes
[Van der Laars/Parry]
An' through the mist I see, an image standing there
But do my eyes deceive me
I'm seeing what I see, what is reality
It's just a game
The great charade, which we play
Are we here, to pick out the clues
Opposites they always meet... try to focus try to see
Nothing here is what it seems.. in this world, nothing's real
Try to focus try to see... where opposites always meet
Nothing in this world is real... nothing here is what it seems
A concept so surreal, this abstract world in view
With no beginning or ending
Our rationality, we think therefore we are
If it's a game, who makes the rules
An' now the mist has cleared, thyn eyes the truth they see
Beneath the mysteries, the magic
Our future is in our hands, if we are who we are
There's a sleepy hollow tale
'bout the two who perished, gone forever
Their house was a blaze
A crime was committed a fire did rage
Jealousy played it's part
Suspicious lies, pointing fingers
Missing persons
Disappeared together
Missing persons
Are they gone forever
Tales of two young newly weds
Happily they built their house together
Little did they know
A plot was conceived
To get rid of them both
A friend with a jealous heart
The perfect crime, they'd all believe
Missing persons
Disappeared together
Missing persons
Are they gone forever
Missing persons
Not a trace left to be found
Missing persons
Will the guilty ones be exposed
Nobody knows
No... one... knows... no-one knows
I lay alone, wrapped in chains and lost in visions
Searching for reasons why I feel the pain of the world
To my dismay the visions increased, the rage grew stronger
I'm burning the food of the ones who are skin to the bone
Who are you, projecting my crimes and dealing in pain
I need to go...
In vision two, a bloodred sky, well known intentions
I'm carving a name in the bullet, it gives me the eye
He's so alone, desperate he walks the streets of ashes,
removing the bricks from the ruins as he screamed for his girl
Where are you, projecting the grief,
a world gone insane
I need to go...
[Chorus]
Under in body and soul,
take me under in a sea of love
Hiding behind the windows of the world
Under under your wings,
take me under and fly me away
Thunder, out the windows of the world
She's daddies girl, he loves her so, he'd like to touch her
Showes her the nature of men, it's the way of the world
A winters night, the writing stopped, the words are written
'Show me the freedom' she cries as she picks up the gun
Who are you, projecting the grief, a world gone insane
I need to go...
[Rondat/Parry]
Immortal souls always and forever
A bond between us, a passion real
Complete devotion 'til the passing comes
Unending love, my queen is she
I'll be by your side, time and again
In each of our lives
I'll wait until you return, though it may take
'Til eternity and beyond... waiting 'til eternity
The bringer of hope, the flame within my soul
My Cleopatra, my goddess from the seven seas
Her spirit lies
Asleep within me
Her soul survives
Waiting... to be discovered
Through the centuries far and wide
Beyond this life, the otherside
Into another time I came
An' still I search for you again
Devoted 'til the day I die
Kindred spirits, no goodbyes
Together one day we will be
I'll love you 'til eternity
Our love was a power, a power so divine
It's greatest secret, eternal youth to stay alive
The body dies
The soul continues, the body dies
Her spirit lies
Asleep, waiting to be given life
'Til eternity, I'll love you always, waiting 'til eternity
The morning winds carries the guild of the night
Hands it out and sighs, angel like faces conseal
Masters and slaves, driven by the same
Caught in a world built on lies, left to rhyme
Given place and time, to fill up the gaps in your life
Silence bears the shame
Can you remember the time life was worth
The beauty of the word
No diamonds could steal it away
It was your life you see,
Forced into history, pushed back in time
I am your destiny
I feed you, disease you, I am your world
Capture the spirit, so open your mind
Listen to reason before you decide,
Money won't buy all the things you desire
The future lies wide open
WAR Greed and illusions, all caught in the fight
Darkness faces light
Can you remember the time life was worth
The struggle of a birth
No demons could steal it away
It was your life you see
Forced into history, pushed back in time
I am your destiny
I feed you, decease you, I am your world
Chorus
Build your walls up high
For angels grace you cry
Capture the spirit, so open your mind
Listen to reasons before you decide
Money won't buy all the things you desire
The future lies wide open
FIGHT Fight of the fever
The capitol guide
It's not your life you see
Let it be history, way back in time
Love is your destiny
It greeds you, it feeds you
This is your world
Just had to take a chance,
a shot for new romance.
All burned out to the ground.
An icy madam stare, a hotel room to share.
I guess it's time to make the sound.
The whole wide world walked my way,
all wanting me to play.
But on my one way ride,
there ain't no place to hide,
in case the monster grows too big.
But when the sound of a broken heart,
fades into early morning roar...
HAD ENOUGH, take my love
I don't need it anymore
HAD ENOUGH, take my love tonight
A wolf with angel ayes, she - devil in disguise,
and blew the party off.
No daring love affair or hidden guilt to bear.
I'm selling my place in love.
The whole wide world walked my way,
all wanting me to play.
But on my one way ride,
there ain't no place to hide,
A promise spoken, spoken never kept
Love's not important, to you
How I foolishly believed
At first, you seemed so genuine
That's how it started
'til she strips you, emotionally within
She's just your walking nightmare
Those empty promises she tells
Think hard, before you trust her
An 'break your spirit, mind and soul
Then leave you all alone
Your vision blurred it's hard to see
The anguish she's caused you
Love, that's her game essentially
Seduction is the obstacle she'll place
Laid out before you
Defenceless, she'll have you on your knees
She's just your walking nightmare
Those empty promises she tells
Think hard, before you trust her
An 'break your spirit, mind and soul
Then leave you all alone
All alone, she's leave you all alone
She's just your walking nightmare
Those empty promises she tells
Think hard, before you trust her
An 'break your spirit, mind and soul
She's just your walking nightmare
Those empty promises she tells
Think hard, before you trust her
An 'break your spirit, mind and soul
Then leave you all alone
Where shall I begin
It's hard to explain, what makes a person anxious
Eyes, all under my skin
Analyse before their Diagnosis
Take a seat tell us when it started
Clear your thoughts
Time for mind, probing
Suddenly first the rush
Pressure in my brain
Molecules explode, like drops of rain
Blinded I can't see, their reality
Trapped in my hell, will I ever break this spell
My blood, boils under my skin
Nervously, scratching the first reaction
How, how shall it end
It's driving me, totally 'round the bend
Mystified by their own conclusions
Given time they'll start, mind probing
He sees no more reason, to find the inner strength to
carry on.
'Cause there's nothing left.
There are no more answers.
No more fire in her heart, it all turned black.
No tears left to cry, the river's run dry.
Under gods naked eye.
A frozen horizon, he needs a shining star to melt it
down,
And color his view.
She needs a new vision, 'cause the one she thought was
real,
Came tumbling down and shattered the ground of love she
had found.
Under gods naked eye.
[Chorus:]
Save me,from the thunder roaming in my brain.
The chilly chimes, the bell of pain keeps calling me
Until you....
Save me, 'cause my whole wide world comes tumbling
down,
My feet can't seem to touch the ground.
You're the only one to save me now....
He sees no more reason, to find the inner strength to
carry on.
'Cause there's nothing left.
A frozen horizon, she needs a shining star to melt it
down
And color the sky,
And answer the whys.
Watch her walk, down the streets of yesterday.
Unborn child kicking its way out.
Why is it your life has been shattered,
and banned from the game.
Someone put her back on line.
Lost in mass confusion.
Can't you see the writings on the wall,
build a bridge to love.
Sometimes you feel just like dying,
but you never give in.
Just hold on, you'll have your time.
Lost in the illusion.
Can't you see the writings on the wall,
build a bridge to love.
There is trouble in paradise,
(more than meets the eye)
I can hear your desperate cries,
See a life end before it's time.
Feed your heart with lies.
TROUBLE PARADISE
TROUBLE PARADISE
Angels of mercy they're coming,
and they'll show you the way.
The inner room
Was where the game was played
At first I never saw her
The light was shining, in my eyes
Like a goddess she walked towards me
My heart's beating fast
I fell for her in a single moment
Who cares, what she's done
Deep inside the inner room
Their your fantasies are made
A pharaoh's tomb, full of beautiful slaves
The inner room, a dangerous place to play
Where false illusions linger
You can look, but you can't have your way
Words of caution I've heard so many's
But my heart was in flames
She's not worth all the endless sorrow
I've got to have her, come what may
She is the one for me
No matter what they all say
Now it doesn't matter
She is the woman for me
Falt on my face in the pool of desire,
she was walking dynamite.
Tricked by tentation, a blinding sensation,
she set my soul on fire.
Tease me, please me, anyway you want.
Hold me back, I'm gonna blow.
One with intuition, hit and run.
She won't loose, till loss has won.
Turn the wheel of passion, shoot at sight.
Fortune is her guiding light.
Out of her Vet, right into my bed,
And I thought OOH lord she's mine.
But she had been fakin', my money was taken,
Money your life you say,
it holds off your dying day.
No questions, resistance can't silence the cries,
the hunger you feel
They're pulling the strings out there,
Fatmen in golden chairs.
Their castles come thumbling down from the sky,
if we now unite.
Now, look what they are doing.
Open your eyes, don't you see that you're treated like
slaves.
It's time to stand tall.
Religion and lethal sin, look more like a synonym.
Stand up and fight it, that part that they play,
is the system we fear.
They promised equality, the perfect society.
The trainload of power is moving our way,
and freedom is here.
The time has come to do or die, to laugh or cry.
This is your chance to become who you are,
not what they want.
Dismay and fear, obeyed commands,
but now it's near.
Bring up the courage you showed in the past,
It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get back, let me get back,
Let me get back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
time.
Yes it has.
It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't stand the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
Woah oo oh oo oh oh
Its been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
time.
Waaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
(guitar solo)
Oohhh
It's been a long time since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, open your arms,
Open your arms, baby let my love come in, oh oh, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
time.
yeah hey, yeah hey
yeah hey, yeah hey
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah,
ooh yeah, ooh yeah,
Been a long time, a long time,
What it really, no-one really knows
They poke inside your head
An 'still they cannot diagnose
Simple memories, can change the way we feel
Without us knowing from, one minute to the next
I feel naked when they probe inside my brain
If a had a choice I'd put, a moratorium on pain
Unpredictable what kind of mood I'm in
I thought I made it clear, from the start
So don't begin
Through this emptiness
There hides the sorrow and blame
Lies are dangerous
Finish what you've started
Where do we go from here
If we bury the past soon the pain will show
Tortured mind, body and soul
These are the principles of pain
We all fear!
With tragedy comes pain, we cannot cheat the truth
Nor come to terms with it
Staring back at you
Darkest secrets all, hidden behind the fear
Time to face the music now
Another vicious plan made my blood run cold,
I am the man with the thousand face.
I raise my head and speak, like echoes I repeat,
the words will fill up all the empty spaces,
In your head there's nothing left.
Hoist the sails 'cause I'll be coming home,
back to my throne.
It's just like bigamy, it's for the world to see
But no one really knows, no one really knows
There is no need for gns,
such battles can't be won.
Hand me your arms and show
that you're behind me.
Cause those who cheat and lie,
will not be crucified,
I will only close the door before their hollow faces,
reflections of pains.
I don't give a damn, I felt the same.
But never again.
The is on, my life's begon,
Your quest has begun, to find the answers
A modern day tale
A search for peace, friendship and laughter
Everlasting dreams
Will you walk beside us
If we stretch out our hands
We can solve the mysteries
In the land of the brave
Walk...
Walk in the pilgrims parade
The challenge of life you can face
Walk in the pilgrims parade
Here in the land of the brave
Year after year, endless searching
An 'still you don't know
How to solve, all your anguish
Discover your dreams
Seems like yesterday, you walked into my life and swept
my heart away.
Way out of line,
I couldn't hear you lie it's like a trick of the mind.
Let me tell you mama, the best things in life
suppose to be fare and you ought to be mine.
Down here on my knees, begging you please,
please go after someone who you really need.
You're out of my world, but you go where ever
I try to make a new start with life.
Baby haven't you heard, you're over and out
over and out
Like the day before, you opened up my heart
now it won't close no more.
Day after day,
looking at the future in a devious way.
I'm not heartless guy,
cause mine did some healing.
I don't care if you cry.
So listen to me honey, to my innercall,
This cruel game, my whole life you have played
Still tears you shed
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me
All these years, our friendship you faked
Freely this way
Now there's no absolution
This pleasure you've freely taken
Unashamedly all forsaken, lies
No code no honour
A deadly disguise full of false intentions
No code no honour
Surrounded by lies see that look in your eyes
For too many years, secrets undisclosed
Sharing with others than me
Was it all for nothing
You're engaged, in a world of intrigue
I sense apprehension
With no real solution
A mystery tour of pleasure
The ending unknown if ever, why!
No code no honour
A deadly disguise full of false intentions
No code no honour
Surrounded by lies see that look in your eyes
No code no honour
Secrecy wrapped in a strange dimension
No code no honour
A bond without trust, is living a lie
An alliance we made, our friendship was real
Good morning my son, watch the sun topping your dream.
In the future a future to see.
Morning or not, it's always too late.
Why do we live in the past?
A moment is just long enough for the next to erase.
[Bridge:]
A fading dimension, with a link to the soul.
It feels like, no freedom, but life to go.
[Chorus:]
I - Hide the poet in silence.
AM - Where the whisper still screams.
LOST - Like a storm on the ocean.
FIND ME
SON - To my inner emotions.
TO - Kill the time on its way.
ME - Bringing lies to the notion.
[Bridge:]
You're blessed with the power of seeing,
What for others remains.
The violence, the torment, with who to blame?
Take a look at my life,
Encounter the ways protected by time.
It's buying, supplying and taking lives.
Take a look at this face,
The present disgust, tomorrows disgrace.
The thoughts you have given, a spiritual song
I enter the day, it's the first of your voyage
Through logic and time
I'm here by your side
My kiss on your forehead
Your skin is so cold, yet you crack a smile
Without moving you reach out and cling to my hand
Are you happy again?
Ooh, we're crossing the rainbow
Skin ti skin we make love in the sand
Ooh, we go through the pages of life
As we live it again
I'm reading my conscience, why always too late
When fortune is lost
Is it part of the lecture, the lessons of life
Will I learn in the end?
I taste your existence, I feel you are near yet I turn my
head
And I cry like a baby so helpless and scared, to meet you
I'm a stranger, even to myself.
Living in this masquerade.
As time passed by, all that remained is pain.
More than i can cope with.
In my dreams I hear you say,
"Please come running to me baby"
If I could turn back time.
It's hard to live another day. Witout you.
You seemed so young and touch and so strong.
It's a long and lonely road in the labyrinth of dreams.
Caught in the labyrinth of dreams.
Isolation, now there's no one there,
to wipe away my bitter tears.
It rules my mind, your spirit haunts me time and time
again.
More than I can live with.
They say that time will ease the pain,
but I'll keep running to you bay.
I I could turn back time.
It's hard to live another day. Witout you.
You seemed so young and touch and so strong.
It's a long and lonely road in the labyrinth of dreams.
solo
It's hard to live another day. Witout you.
You seemed so young and touch and so strong.
It's a long and lonely road in the labyrinth of dreams.
According to you, just a matter of time,
me falling on my knees.
Make place in the end of the line.
You've got the tools I wanted to steal,
guaranteed a steamy night.
I heard it from too many guys.
Why anticipate, hiding in the shade.
Watching the big love pass by.
I'm no fool, I'm no fool for you.
I've waited too long, had to go on,
so don't say I've left you behind.
I'm no fool, I'm no fool for you.
Reaching for a new horizon,
leaving past in silent shame,
Out of this world of fantasy.
I watched you move, night and day,
breaking through my walls of pain.
ooh now I'll break away.
GET OUT first you lead me on,
now you throw me away.
Theories are made
There's a reason they should be
Hidden far away, until someone can see
Many teachers said
There's a world inside your head
So step outside yourself, look an' see
Slipping away
Opportunities, connections never made
God given chances, can all disappear
Make it happen
Work it out
Hypothetic alone, won't make it work
Get it right
So make it happen
Make it count
Actions speak bigger that a million words
Ignoring the signs
Is your life filled with empty spaces
Theoretically, assumptions can be made
Don't wait around to see, if only now
No more words anymore
No more words, no more words make it work
No more words
Theoretically, assumptions can be made
The moment has come for the undertakers.
Don't look at the faces now,
Chances are renewed by our loss.
Vultures appeared out of vivid friendship.
Gliding the wind, dying to win,
What the other lost must be found.
If only yesterday would shape up to the words.
I'd like to say, then in a way
I'd be beside you...
[Bridge:]
I walk the decisions, gpt forced into life.
Can't live by a vision when love is a lie.
Rage without reason, a spell on mankind.
With rain comes a season, cach drop is a cry.
Why, I don't know why, I'll never know.
[Chorus:]
I should have known better, to let you walk out all
alone.
You walked out on everything.
You should have known better, to let me wait here all
alone.
You're everything.
Carried by time makes the world look bigger.
I see many faces now,
They may have even seen my unknown.
Licking my wounds makes me so perceptive.
All that I lost, taken by pain,
In the end I gained just the same.
I'd love to put a pistol to the day.
Shoot, and run the other way, then in my way.
I'd be beside you.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
All my life, wandering around in a strange kind of motion
Square one, back at the end
So strong, I always though it's a scaled way of living
Out of the blue, there she was
Love on the rescue
I crossed the line, to end my...
False vision, submission to passion crime
I crossed the line, to find my...
My angel, my Eden, my place in time
In my life, the story of love had the worst kind of
ending
But now it feels so right (love showed its light)
All my life, wandered around in a strange kind of motion
Square one, there is no end...
An' just like she said you would
Suddenly there you stand
Knocking on hell's own door
Innocently, your eyes open wide
Unlike creatures of habit
We can act very strange
While dealing with emotions
And matters close to the heart
To be so arrogant, yet na?ve
Expecting to be welcomed back
Gone are those happy days
A distant past, out of love came deceit
Close to the heart...
Matters close to the heart
I walked this road a million times.
Each time a new direction.
Who's the one that's pushed aside?
Who needs you anyway,
It's not like you make things happen.
You decisive sting decides.
You ran my face into a wall of endlessly denial.
Tell me what you're living for.
You'll bleed, not me.
So when your heart is falling don't come knocking on my
door.
[Bridge:]
You.Mind is defeat.
You.Mind is defeat.
Well not for me.
[Chorus:]
If the time should come,grow some scene.
Clean up your act.
With the axe about to fall, down on as all.
You spoke of love a million times,
But one thing is better.
Cut me from your line.
Who needs you anyway,
It's not like you make things happen.
I watched your face a million times.
It showes the invitation that I can't refuse.
Win or loose.
Head in noose.
Trapped each day.
bridge:
I looked for possibilities to change course of destiny.
Not one thing I tried, fill me up inside.
So now I say..
chorus:
I will always be with you.
Close be hand,day by day.
I'll be always beside you.
Till the morning comes, till the morning comes our way.
I watched you grow from balck to white.
Enlightened by your message inside.
Only fools,
play by rules.
To look upon one's self I see
How into this life I came
Knowing nothing so afraid
A child's breath my first I'd take
Oh what a lovely baby
The lord has given you a boy
So into the world I came
A child's step my first I'd take
Go into the world, be anyone you please
Try and find your strength, inside yourself
Can you see the things you see
Can you feel the things you feel
Don't throw away this chance
As short as life to all may seem
Looking down I see myself
Growing older, children, wealth
Generations pass on by
Waiting for my life to die
...like generations all before
Go into the world, be anyone you please
Try and find your strength, inside yourself
Can you see the things you see
Can you feel the things you feel
Don't throw it all away
Have pride in yourself
We came into this world, we all to succeed
Search inside your soul
Feel the air you breathe
Step outside yourself
Beyond what you believe
Try and make some sense
As short as life to all may seem
You gotta believe, it doesn't take much at all
Yes you've gotta believe
The day the war was over, so the story goes
You could hear the churchbells ring hear the laughter
But with hope and glory, lingers memories
In the dark a girl would dance with her shadows
First she lose her father in the burning debris
Sorrow took her mother so castly so she was
Brought up in a house of strangers
Many years went by so her torment grew a place where children mustn't cry
Not a soul to talk too she created her friends through a roomlit view
Hand in hand but never shy, the silent few
Locked in a room the walls were closing in
It shocked her system from within so she lies staring at the images inside
Shadow dancer in the dark it's O.K. to she'd a tear
Remember time to forget shadow dancer in the dark
In your mind I am free, I AM
Using you to tell, I CAN
When you touch yourself
From the spot where new life gets born
Right down to the places you don't want to show
Try and find me baby, I'm all over you
In a way I am just your darkest fantasy
I call tell exactly what you want and need
I can't keep your soul from falling
You can't keep your motor running
But release is on it's way...
Spirits watching every motion, day by day
What will be your faith?
Spirits, born to our devotion
On our way
To what will be our faith
I'm the stain on your wall. I AM
Watching you when you craw. I CAN
Won't you touch yourself?
I'm in your bed when you're not alone
Watch you make the faces when he makes you come
I'm on top of the world, enjoying the fruits of decision
Conquered the lame feeling brought on by your Spanish
inquisition
Hey you cannot beat a religion such as mine
In a way I'm a relic of a god forsaken time
Sure business is tough and we've got to make a living
So never mind the people you loot and consume your glory
days
I hardly can wait for the day the tables turn
I will be there to spit on your grave
When your soul for ever burns
Look for the writings on the wall
This one's for you but from us all
Look at your mirrors ugly face
King of the scum of human race
Near sweet liberty sing it's a song with a truthful
origin
Lip up the sky dance and drink wine to the tune of
judgement day
Hey clouds start to pack, could this be your waiting
sign?
Don't think I care I'll take my share and my chain to
I lie awake in bed
Wondering why, I can't hear a thing
The world outside, seems unusually quiet
I listen, but I can't hear I noise
Oh, it's not possible
A world full of people all content
No rich or poor, just a fairytale
Try to imagine
How wonderful, life could feel
I sense a presence in the air
I can feel it all around
A kind of silence in the wind
A peaceful energy to share
I can almost touch it seems so real
The sound of silence in the wind
I'm not too old, just an ordinary chap
Who wants to make a wish
A special dream come true
Call me naive, call it innocence
But I bet that's just the way you're feeling to
The sound of silence in the...
You took the step and slipped away
Enchanted by a friendly face
You thought it was love
It took your life out of your hands
You never dreamt that it would ever and never end
Bought and sold
Should have seen it from the start
He stole your love and broke your heart
Love out on display
Among your shattered dreams you stand
Make a reason out of hollow words
What's it worth
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh YouOll never be the same
Put your trust on love
You're not alone
Oh oh oh I'll lighten up your darkest night
Close your eyes
I will be your day
Seasons come and seasons go
A miracle about to show
Love will come around
Put yourself back in the light
Lose the shadows of your darkest night
You'll be fine
Close your eyes, love will come your way
Close your eyes tonight
The night that the eye of heaven shines
Down mountains of hope and joy we glide
The best wasn't good enough, all had to greed for more
Took our hand and our soul as well; dwell in the dark
Intrigued by a ghostly light divine
Engaged in our bodily delight
But we had to sail along, to where the story ends
Took the time, just to find that there ain't no way back
[Chorus]
Who believes in reason, age of common sence
Poisened hearts of black and white
It's grey we are drowning in
While chocking in tiny bits of life
It's flashing in memories through our minds
Why we had to sing the song, we knew was wrong inside
Out of tune, there's no key to those who pray for you
[Chorus]
All our dreams, we left them for...
Mysteries with velvet claws
All that seemed right to need,
I can't imagine any other way than simply saying why I really feel this way
it's mystifying in each and every sense so nothing ventured nothing new to gain
Slowly life keeps moving on before you know it's gone
the chance to say what's on your mind
My lips are drying up because of guilt
no point in crying once the blood is spilt
no good denying what is wrong or right
time has a way of healing everything in sight
Don't forsake the broken hearted wishful thoughts and proud ideals
finish what you've already started and one day you'll blessed with the
power to reach the ones you trust
Who ever listens every word in vain family connections goes against the grain
takes some persuasion trying to break through advice worth delaying
When I look at myself frustration I try to hide
when it cries cries out in vain then I can't resist or hide
My state of mind state of mind
Now the feelings from within tell the tale a life of sin
an' a cold journey through time
I don't recall memories hard to focus hard to please
am I losing my mind
A psychological impulse twisting around inside
My state of mind an out of body experience my state of mind
a separation between the soul and mind to be as one with each other
a state of mind in control of my helpless
The weirdest things always happen could it be my penance
a mnemonic phase that I resist
Now the feelings dark within me my sins will never ever be free
On and on and on we go we live our lives but never show
Do you feel the way I feel can you see things I see
does your body sometimes feel so cold and empty
Cum take my hand we'll go far away to a wonderland called Aladdins Cave
have no fear now, walk across the waves abd discover how, how to be so brave
so brave
Don't be afraid, have no fear you're not alone
mysterious ways, salvation is near taking you home
Staring at the sun makes you wild with rage
feel it urge you on, to Aladdin's Cave
Roaming far and wide, search into tomorrow
pilgrims seeking pride stead of endless sorrow oh no!
Come, I can help you!
[Music: Henk van der Laars & Dirk Bruinenberg]
[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]
Ignored and hated by many, he can't stand the very sight of himself.
Believing only that people wish him harm,
while all the time there is a sympathetic eye from an admiring lady.
As the years pass, she slowly gains his trust,
but not without incident.
Being of a passive and loving nature,
she helps to transform his anger with regression.
Eventually his fears are changed into a positive belief
in the goodness we all possess.
[Verse]
Ignored by the many, adored by the chosen few
Friends he hasn't any, just his own point of view
[Bridge]
There stands a lady inbetween the shadows
Waiting patiently for you
Holding out her hand she whispers
Together we'll pull through
She transforms his anger
Helps him wipe away the tears
[Chorus]
I'll be there, standing next to you
I'll be there I will pray, I will pray for you
'Cos you're one of the forgotten children
[Outro]
One of the, one of those forgotten children
One of the forgotten friends
Cast away those sins forgiven
Fight on, fight on to the end
Music: Chris Allister & Henk van der Laars
All his devious actions escalate into an atmosphere of absolute mistrust.
Paranoia slowly starts to take effect.
His huge fortune has created many enemies.
In haste he searches for solitude.
Secluded from the outside world, he lives in a fragile sense of security.
Locked away he hopes to find peace of mind,
But instead he's haunted by the terrifying images in his dreams.
Images of those whose lives he so mercilessly helped to destroy.
[Verse]
All of that money you've made
From all of those souls with their lives they've paid now
Lost your pride, locked inside
Where's the light at the end of the road
[Bridge]
Blame and sorrow
No more day, just, tomorrow
Close the door, turn the key
Lock the misery away!
You're living in an ivory tower
[Verse]
All of the guilt you should feel when all of the torment you caused was real
Truth you've found, changed your made
At the end of the road there's a light
[Bridge]
So many places, hidden lies, saddened faces
Close the door take the key, try and throw it away far, far away
[Chorus]
In a solitary day
There's a solitary point of view
Hide the fear away!
That's the price you have to pay
[Middle-8]
They're coming to get you, put boards on your windows
It won't take 'em long 'till they find out a way
Don't sleep stay awake now, look over your shoulder
Your enemy's coming to take you away!
[Chorus]
In a solitary day, there's a solitary point of view
Hide your fear away, it strips away the good in you
[Music: Henk van der Laars]
[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]
Four walls, a ceiling, and a constant fear of the unknown.
Driven by a mother's instinct to protect her child,
her worst nightmares materialise before her very eyes.
[Verse]
A constant fear she has
A mother's instinct to protect
His innocence her child, must not be influenced
Surreal nightmares they appear
Before her very eyes
The walls start closing in, then the madness begins
[Bridge]
The consequences of her actions
Into a life of stress he came
[Chorus]
Frenzy, frenzy
On the edge of a nervous breakdown
A living hell, going crazy Frenzy, frenzy
The unknown, eats your soul alive
Your heart pounds, your blood is boiling
[Verse]
In her chaotic mind
The darkest secrets she would tell
And smothered them with tales,
Not for others
A psychological affect, she'd created
Caused the child to change, he was never the same
[Repeat bridge & chorus]
[Ad-libs]
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Sadly his mother watches helplessly,
as her child demolishes the very fabric she believes in.
Catching an occasional glimpse, she remembers with great pain,
the anguish she felt, as the memories from her past re-appear.
Frustration turns to confused anger.
She still can't come to terms with the fact
that her husband took his own life.
"Why", she asks herself, "why didn't he tell me?
Why couldn't anybody lend him a helping hand?"
All the while her son is silently crying out for help.
Intro
Looking back in time,
Without consent.
two lovers ran away
A tragic tale, so often made
So sad and destined to fail
They're in and out of every place
Searchin' hard a sad disgrace
At best a darkened room, without a view
Those memories, still remain
Never once did she complain
Now time repeats itself, all over again
What he did, was insane
Sadly his own life he'd take
And you've been left to face the guilt, alone
Just try to remember
He was a victim of circumstance
Close your eyes, try to recall
The strength you felt
Now, is the time to be stronger
Than you've ever been before
Bury all your anguish and fear, you're not to blame
Don't analyze, come to terms
Face the truth, don't turn away
Where there's a will, there has to be a way
Into the world, your child came
Responsibility or shame
He backed away from you, don't lose him again
You're not alone! you've got to be stronger
Don't you worry he won't be back here anymore
Try a little harder go as far as you can go
a state of tolerance something which you'll never know
The mind has a way of playing games and twisting your reality
you're hooked like a fish and deep inside lies the pain
He's longing for reality no more abnormality
So sad to say you're no one's child reflection is a part of you
an' come what may your nations wild are killing you
More and more like a drug you're longing for who's it for
for pity sake, god knows who
Nowhere to turn too no one here that wants you
stay far away now way beyond normality
no one to talk too, talkin' cannot help you stay far away now
you've stepped beyond reality
Where limitations have no place the more extreme the more you do
you most certainly won't stand a chance of pulling through
My memories clear as ever of a little boy
I can see myself so full of wander a child so full of joy
In a field oh way up yonder not so far from home
lived a sweet old man called Mr.Wonder because of dreams he told
He once so philosophically explained
there's a reason we're brought into this world
I wish he was with us today pray hear me say I understand now
No matter how how hard we try we never listen when destiny's calling
we still keep changing our lives stop, look and listen
it's destiny calling you (when destiny's calling you)
Looking back remissing changes long gone by
opportunities I keep on missing I've stared 'em in the eye
The gravity of all my actions I try hard to disguise
it became crystal clear we change the future affecting all our lives
An old man philosophically explained
there's a reason we're brought into this world
Funny those words that he said will always be true forever and ever
Each promise we break the choice is yours and mine
each wrong move that we make we're missing chances
each step with each day will get harder, harder if we go our own way
Obsessed with dominance,
he crushes each person who innocently crosses his path.
His adrenalin thrives on a need to destroy basis.
His skill to deceive gains him vast wealth and fortune.
However any trace of his original character
or identity vanishes into oblivion.
No compromise, no words can make him see
He's elevated to a higher level
To feed a need, let the adrenalin flow
A warped sensation, deceit is blissful
Mystified by lies, demoralizing
No second glance, face to face
Thru' those naked eyes, captivating
He'll suck you dry, and leave no trace
Once inside your head, the captive mind his game
Manipulates his way, terrorizing
Secrets kept alive, subconscious thoughts awake
Watch him take control, hypnotizing
A master of, pure deception
His testimony that, that he's a freak of nature
Take a look into those eyes
And I can tell you what you'll see
Take a good look around tell us a truth now what are they saying
they're out of all sight and sound while the hatred is growing
the guilty are praying
Though innocent eyes don't lie it's hopeless subscribing retaliation
enemies all must die is this the road to hell and damnation
Won't somebody help them anymore like a rock to the ground
they keep falling just when they found a real sense of Direction
We determine our own lives with the power the strength to change them
but when manipulation plays a big part then our future is gone
Suppression won't we bother suppression won't we show a little concern
repression won't we help each other only if we can find the time my dear
So what lessons if any can be learnt to help your sister to help your brother
or do we turn a blind eye cos no one we know ever gets hurt
The following tale depicts the life of a vulnerable child born into a
world of poverty and despair. The scene is set in a typical overcroweded
and run down industrial city. A haven for ranks of the unemployed. A young
and naive couple against all odds, ignore the advice of others and
secretly marry. Ignorance playing a major role in their futile lives,
their instincts sadly influenced, she is pregnant with their first
child, while he searches frantically for a means to support them. As time
grows shorter, and his chances slowly diminish, the pressure bears heavily
on his brittle shoulders. Desperately he battles against his own
weaknesses, trying to find strength within. No-longer can he smile, nor
will his conscience give him the freedom to lie or cheat. Exhausted, weak
and weary, he can't bear to face her. Passing a backstreet bar, he's
easily enticed inside, while a stranger sensing his vulnerabilty, helps to
alleviate him from the responsibilty for the couple's last savings. Dumped
in a drunken heap, and the stranger nowhere to be found, the father
struggles to his feet, as the alcohol suppresses his will to fight.
Momentarily he sees a way out. A vantage point high on an empty bridge,
peacefully he falls to his death. Frightened of exposing her identity, she
gives birth in a darkenend backroom. The innocent child free of pride or
prejudice, begins it's long journey discovering life's wonders, and
tragically life's many weaknesses.
I can see you in my dreams
you run away from me
I miss the time we did not have
but the rain keeps washing my sadness away
I know you'll still be in my mind
I know you'll still be in my heart
I close myself in my castle
never to come out
to give vent to my evil thoughts
to remain there in shadows in forgetfullness
I wander looking for the time
I am dreaming of
I make circles around old places
I discover things
I know you'll still be in my mind
[Part I: Deception]
Death reigns over the earth
Opressing justice and truth
Nations plagued by despair
Are collapsing hopelessly into themselves
We watch while sanity dies
Forever lost upon the Earth
Countless souls embracing condemnation
One by one marching to the grave
Into the Mouth of the ruin that feeds upon the Damned and the Deceived
And they will cry there is no life here only death
Deceived
Wide is the path that leads to destruction
Wide is that pathway down into the pit of despair
[Part II: Lament]
(Instrumental)
[Part III: Triumph]
Hold still
Don’t move I say
Wilt thou hear
My elegy
Head high
Preserve my pride
I shall defy the gallows
I and you and me
Well we just don’t know
What love can do
I pledge to you
That I won’t deceive
The heart that’s mine
As here I sit
I vow
Your history does not
Perish my love
The shame
Will be mine for a
Scarlet woman thou art
I and you and me
Well we just don’t know
What love can do
I pledge to you
That I won’t deceive
The heart that’s mine
Dead from the grave
We’re all slaves
To what we’ve got
Love
Is been through
The door
The pathetic sight of your sunken eyes
The angular lines of your hips and waist
The light and the dark
Of your vallied ribs
The skeletal draw
Of your temples and cheeks
Your breath but a wisp
From your string thin lips
The acrid stink of your face and mouth
Unsound unsure...your shaky legs
Just when you're about to
Learn to smile again
I'm going to be the one to
Teach you how to cry
All around the cradle, love
Feel the burning red lights
Fall my rain, the red wine
Underway to low, under knife for tone
What a fool to favor
Before I ever met you all the love caress you
Underway I was, it's so long ago
And I'm not going wait for you no more
More than love can never be
Before my hand is aching
Before my hands are shaking
And I know my call and I pray for all
More than life can never
Before my hands are moving
Tryin' to love the neighbour
And I won't deny and I pray for more
And I don't know where you're coming from
You fill my head, I'm only waitin' for the wall collapsing
And I smuther and I'm dreaming and no-one comes around
You hurt my head, I'm only screaming in the night, a maybe
You take me as a "I get over"-love
Something ripped me open
From my little death woken
Fading rhythm of lifeline
Is music for a dead child
I'm skirting the rim, skirting the rim
Of reality
Skirting the rim
Love don't pull me in
Somehow everything is broken
Hours past and never replayed
I see the sickness of a love that
Though it breathes, can never be made
There are cracks where the white light burns through
It seems I see everything but the truth
Once more to that sacred place
The dream that sucks me under
I'm skirting the rim, skirting the rim
Of reality
Skirting the rim
Love don't pull me in
Somehow everything is broken
Hours past and never replayed
I see the sickness of love that
Though it breathes, can never be made
Somehow everything is clearer now
Hours pass with never a relief
I see the sadness of a moment
Help me darling, please don't leave my side
I've got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Eyelids are now I see
Don't let go
Don't let go now
All ambition is dead
And i'm hanging on by a thread
Keep holding on every step of the way
You leave me right when i want you to stay
Darling don't run out of breath
I keep praying that this is not your last
Sleep now and watch over me
Don't let go
Don't let go now
All ambition is dead
And i'm hanging on by a thread
Keep holding on every step of the way
You leave me right when i want you to stay
Don't leave me right when i want you to stay
Hold me closer tonight
Hold me closer to you
Don't let go
Don't let go now
All ambition is dead
And i'm hanging on by a thread
Keep holding on every step of the way
You leave me right when i want you to stay
Don't leave me right when i want you to stay
Please don't look at me this way
I am from the same seed as you
Take me back to the womb
I am weary of this life
Don't believe in my eyes
Don't believe in my mind
Don't believe in right or wrong
Don't believe in cruel or kind
But all this talk is only poetry
Only as true as we would believe
We must live to fight the negative
Not to court the self in defeat oh oh oh oh
In defeat oh oh oh oh
Oh the pain of life is sweet
Is it wrong to long for death?
Must I cling to the thrills of life
Ash to ash and dust to dust
But all this talk is only poetry
Only as true as we would believe
We must live to fight the negative
Not court the self in defeat oh oh oh oh
In defeat oh oh oh oh
You have looked at me this way
We are all from the same seed
Take us forward through the tomb
One may think I'm still here , One may say I've given up,
But I'm flyin' even higher, Above the neverchanging sea,
I've seen it all with bare eyes, & I've made up my face,
No need to change my mind.
I CAN GO DOWN, I CAN GO HIGH, I CAN TAKE U BY MY SIDE.
Sunsgine, My head's exploding, & my eyes are burned,I
fall more then asleep, I know so much where I'm headed.
Baby, don't you leave me in this world alone
We'll go and see somebody
Who won't shake his head and moan
Doctors can do anything,
It is said, today
I'll do anything, I'll even pray
but don't you leave me alone like this
I couldn't stand it without your kiss
so don't go
Don't you go.
Well, there must be something
that will cure you true
Is there anything that I can do
I just can't stand it
without your living breath
but all that's left for us
Is your certain death
but baby don't you go
I couldn't face the world alone
so I'll follow you
I'll follow you.
To the ends of the mountains
I'll tread a path
just to hear once more
your fragrant laugh
I'll swim great rivers,
and I'll swim the seas
I'll do anything, anything to please
so well go together and face the things to come
I'm not afraid
Blink in your eye is shining now
And your look is searching around
Like my own
Your answer to my question's known
Cause your hope in me has long time gone
And I'm still just another abnormal form
Life is not dream at all
It is just a filthy war
It is just a pain of soul
So squeeze the beauties from the life
Cause life is just passing by
Another town in a cosmic tour
Like a mother to a child
You gave me the strength and you know I'll die
But I'm still just another abnormal form
Why all the questions leave the trace
Cause in my head your answers are pain
Please don't hesitate,
I know you don't believe in fate.
I believe in fate…
And I am not ashamed,
These things I feel they have no name.
Yeah, they have no name…
I just know!
You’re indefining love,
Just this truth,
Is enough,
And I can't believe it's all there for me.
I thought that life was an elegy!
This twist of fate,
Wouldn't take,
Underrate,
But I can’t believe it's all there for me.
Your love elates and rescues me.
And, no this is not a game,
This chance to meet won't come again.
You won't come again.
My mind,
Was frayed,
My hope,
Enslaved
My heart,
Is free,
You've res-cued me.
You’re indefining love,
Just this truth,
Is enough,
And I can't believe it's all there for me.
I thought that life was an elegy!
This twist of fate,
Wouldn't take,
Underrate,
But I can’t believe it's all there for me.
Your love elates and rescues me.
You don't know how much you mean to me.
My heart, my love, you've turned to melody.
My heart will always need your inspiration…
You’re indefining love,
Just this truth,
Is enough,
And I can't believe it's all there for me.
I thought that life was an elegy!
This twist of fate,
Wouldn't take,
Underrate,
But I can’t believe it's all there for me.
i was takin my pride to the edge of time to see you elegy,

chorus * 4
Such a pretty sight
What a glorious day
I think I'm alright
Just don't come here today
I'm taking all what's mine
There's just no time to waste
I know I'm doing fine
I'm letting go of hate
I'm right, I know I'm right
I'm right
You killed, you killed yourself
Yourself
And it's not my fault
It's not my fault
You gave up on me
Like you gave up your life
Now I'm finally free
Sifting through the refuse
The shell of what was once a human life
Mutilated, torn from the womb
Mankind's final solution
Innocent, yet callously butched
Murdered by demons in white
Mutilated, torn from the womb
Mankind's final solution
Lust is our god, a choice of pure evil
Systematic domination,
Perpetuated through the lie of freedom mother
Giver of life, deny this degradation mother
Strong and compassionate
Resist your destruction
Elegy, this war will wage on
Whether it be in fire or in blood
But the warning has been given
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
You never bent, you always stood
Could you plainly tell the trees from wood
You knew to part the wrong from right
To coax the darkness into light
You took me in when hope was lost
You paid with no regard for cost
You gave your time, you always found
A way to keep my feet on the ground
You never broke, you always healed
And favored need above appeal
You came, you saw, you mended foes
An altruistic dynamo
Now this endless elegy
It sings to you
My tormented memory
It yearns for
You never sold what can't be bought
Your majesty just can't be taught
You always stood on moral ground
Provided hope when none was found
You always gave with pure intent
Regardless of the money spent
You propped me up on broken feet
And spread my wings so they could beat
And now this endless elegy
It breaks my heart
Your eternal memory
Tears me apart
In your mourning
Feel my wind blowing down
My love shines
Through the light of your darkness
And now this endless elegy
It praises you, it sings for you
Never ending memory
It yearns for you, it lives for you
You soldier on, you don't give in
Keep pushing water up a hill
You brought this heart back from the brink
And gave this thirsty soul a drink
From dust to dust, we live, we die
Before we've grown we're out of time
And now you're gone while justice cries
I bury you with no goodbyes
God has let you down
God has let you down
God has let you down
And now this endless elegy
God has let you down
Never ending memory
And now this endless elegy
Elegy
Elegies are to be sung
Winds of armageddon come
Ignorance within your bliss
Soon you will atone for this
In your carcinogenic haze
Baneful of a newer age
Flowers of a different scent
Poisons of the earths lament
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her
Take another deeper breath
Inhale invisible death
Pollution fills the land and sky
Forever you justify
Take a deeper look and see
Nothing's left to future seeds
Icicles melt into blood
Ashes where there once was wood
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her
Pain of life has pulled you under
Left you there to bleed and wonder
Open heart left torn asunder
Wrong the wrongs that
You've been suffered
Kill we scream in roaring thunder
Destroy all, leave all things plundered
Acid rain cries her pain
Full bloom, a world gone insane
Her anger the flower
Plays God with all of our lives
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
We were all alone
He was lying prone
and his eyes were closed,
My Dear
and he wore a suit
and he looked like you
My Dear
But I knew it wasn't you
He looked like you but didn't sigh like you
or smile like you
No twinkle in his eye
He didn't even lie
like you
would lie
And his hands were clasped
Nothing in their grasp
My Dear
You were nowhere to be seen
Left me in my time of need
My Dear
which you will always be
forgiven for,
but not forgot
And you will always be
invincible, irascible
The water rushes against my front side.
It's coming up towards high tide.
I'll hold you steady while I can, while I still can.
But you never know what will come tonight,
and heaven knows I'm in its lights.
I'm the ticking clock, the set alarm
that you've so long relied upon.
Just stay right where you are.
Whoa, just come on home! Just come on home!
And the daylight is growing scarce,
but sunshine is in my head, and I'll shine it,
I'll shine it everywhere I go.
I can hear the angels calling me
and my father's voice across the sea.
The words float in on wisps of wind,
they settle and they start again.
They say, "Stay right where you are,
just stay right where you are."
Whoa, just come on home! Just come on home!
Stay right where you are my dear,
won't you watch me walk right off this pier
and go on and on up to the sun?
We'll leave all things behind.
Just follow me, you're doing great!
Just don't step out of time!
Down to, down to the watershed.
Down past the river bed,
where we used to wonder what lay beyond here.
And out past, out past the signals sent,
sent by the scientists from the largest satellite dishes.
I have been chosen to suffer
Life of pain
Sacred victim, I´m heavens breed?
Helpless part in the never-ending lie
Utilized
Betrayed by my own flesh and blood
To pay for others aims
It drives me mad
I feel alone
Now hear my elegy
Suffer eternally
Why don´t you just save me - oh my lord
They torture me, please help me - oh my god
Father, they are raping my flesh
They slash me until I pass out
Feels like drowning in my holy blood
But you don´t care of your breed
Hear my elegy
Suffer eternally
Why don´t you just save me - oh my lord
They torture me, please help me - oh my god
Father, they are nailing my hands
To the cross to expose my harm
God, they fumble around in my wounds
The Cherusker horde assembled
Unde the banner of the Teutonic Hammer
Beneath a vibrant storm
Teutoburg forest reddened with blood
And Valkyries made their descent
Laying their claim to the glorious dead
Barbarian forces engaged in the strife
Giving their lives for the sake of their trive
Three days of bloodshed
Three leigions crushed by the hammer of Donar
The spear of Wotan lent no mercy
And Varus fell upon his own sword
By the Hammer of Donar
By the Spear of Wotan
Arminius in triumph
I fight, when i have no choice I cry, so hard I lose my
voice
I tried, to just walk away
you lied, it can't be the same
god why, should i pay for this
not mine, the fault that lies in this
I died, inside for your mistake
but why, should i feel the pain
when i learn to fly, no i'm never coming back
all that's here is lies
nothing real can ever last
i thought that I had made it
to a place inside the truth
but you couldn't let me have it
with out giving some to you
Now i've, got nothing left
to lose, inside myself
I'll fight, do what I have to do
to try, and find love for you
I cry, myself to sleep
my eyes, can only see
the times, you lied and we
sat by, oh so foolishly
