Plot
Ambitious but thwarted, Rae Smith meets handsome Marine Paul Saxon, (of the Saxon department store chain), as he passes through Lincoln, Nebraska, on his way home from World War II. There's a definite spark between them but circumstances intervene and he leaves town without her. Later she learns he's married. Determined to make it as a fashion designer, Rae moves to New York and becomes a great success. One day she happens to meet Paul again and again there's that spark but he's still married so, as a form of escape, Rae moves to Rome to set up shop. Once again she meets Paul and finally they begin an actual affair since Paul's shrewish, drunken wife, Liz, won't give him a divorce. Time passes, the affair continues whenever time and place permit, but then, Paul's young son finds out about Rae and Rae's back-street world begins to crumble.

April Rain
How does it feel when all you're counting on is scatterbrained
Every wind that you have sailed upon, a hurricane
Every summer you have seen was filled with April rain
It doesn't get easy, don't you know
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, create your own fate
Count your blessings and prepare to change your point of view
All those days that you spend waiting won't come back to you
Take off the glasses that have treated your world black and grey
It doesn't get easy, don't you know
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, create your own fate
Keep raining
'Cause we are blind, 'cause we are tired, 'cause we are blind to fortune's guidance now
It keeps raining, 'cause we are blind, it will keep raining, 'cause we are tired
It keeps raining, 'cause we are blind oh, it will keep raining 'cause we are tired
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you
Intro:
The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring,
Eternal life, The Gathering
I see a world in anger
I see a world in pain
Each day a different story
But still the message is the same
Hard news I set beside me
Sweet dreams is what I need
What daylight wants to show me
At night, appears to be insane
May I ask you in?
Shall I...
Shall I persuade you?
Chorus:
The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring,
Eternal life, The Gathering
My cards, the ones to choose from
The role they play tonight
Which ones embrace the loved ones?
Which ones will summon for a fight
Show me your precious darling
And I will crush them all
Wave with your blooded sword and
I'll kiss to show I'm not afraid
May I ask you in?
Shall I...
Shall I persuade you?
Repeat chorus
Stay Forever
Silence in the living room
Hours feel like days
Silence when I speak to you
Your thoughts seem miles away
My Euphoria yes your worth the price
Because when my mind gets clouded
I forget about our fights
[Refrein:]
Stay forever, it's never again
our words have been spoken,
It will come to an end
Stay forever, it's never again
our words have been spoken,
It will come to an end
Artificial energy
Running through my veins
Chemical the love I feel
For faces without names
My Euphoria, yes your worth the price
Because when my mind gets clouded
I forget about our fights
[Refrein]
This empty house is not a home
find the will to stand alone
Without your armor
Flesh and blood have turned to stone
find the will to stand alone
too late to turn away
[Refrein:]
Stay forever, its never again
Our words have been spoken, it will come to an end
Stay forever, its never again
Start Swimming
I'm waiting for another day
I'm waiting for the clock to reach the six and twelve
I'm waiting for a holiday
I'm waiting for myself
I'm waiting for another day
I'm waiting for the clock to reach the six and twelve
I'm waiting for a holiday
I'm waiting for myself
And all I seem to hear is: Stop, Stop
I'm catching up on you
Don't leave me behind
I can't see a soul out here
It's Dark, Dark
I'm catching up on you
And all I wonder is: Why?
Why do i try to start running
What am I running for?
Do you remember why we started running?
Do you remember why we're running at all?
If I dared I'd choose to swim
But it's safer on the shore
Do you remember why we started running?
Do you remember why we're running at all?
I would die to get away
But I fear to even more
I'm waiting for another day
The last one was so desperately disappointing
I can't seem to focus on what I've done
Or where I 've been
I can't see
Nobody here
And all I seem to hear is: Stop, Stop
I'm catching up on you
Don't leave me behind
I can't see a soul out here
It's Dark, Dark
I'm catching up on you
And all I wonder is: Why?
Why do i try to start running
What am I running for?
Do you remember why we started running?
Do you remember why we're running at all?
If i dared I'd choose to swim
But it's safer on the shore
Do you remember why we started running?
Do you remember why we're running at all?
I would die to get away
But I fear to even more
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
Then close my eyes
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
Then close my eyes and start swimming
I would rather stay he re the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
I would rather stay here the rest of my life
Then close my eyes and start swimming
Close my eyes and start swimming
No one is getting near
And every time I say,
They say that I’m not a mirror,
But you must play this game.
Within your deepest thoughts
I sense affection for real.
No matter how hard I try,
You don’t know how I feel.
Lead me to sun before it’s too late,
Reach out, don’t let me suffocate,
Come on, make my melodies time passes by.
Tell me now we used truth you say
Little witch come over restied a play
Ray guy for your love for me now is a pay.
On no! My feelings are sense
And circle me with heavenly feelings,
The three midles calling me.
No time for evolution,
My heart is cold as ice.
Surrender on your feelings
I will give you paradise.
Heaven have my face by and heart,
No follow way a blood cause it human being.
Heaven, the sky turns blue again,
On The Other Side
Will you wait?
I'm on the other side
The other side
Will you wait?
I'm on the other side
It's too late to tell you what I'm about
But god, I'm proud
A giant in the sky
A light flooded horizon
a silent peaceful cry
And the sun that is rising
Warms me up
Warms me up
Wears me out
Will you wait?
I'm on the other side
The other side
Will you wait?
I'm on the other side
It's too late to tell you what I'm about
But God, I'm proud
But God, I'm proud...
A different kind of quiet
A different kind of warning
You've said your last goodbyes
And left your daughters mourning
Breathing in
Breathing now
Breathing out
Will you wait?
I'm on the other side
The other side
Will you wait?
I'm on the other side
It's too late to tell you what I'm about
But God, I'm proud
My achievements seem so humble
While you're making wine from water
While my hands work the cold soil
All you touch turns into gold
And I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I don't want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
All the heroes in the gutter
Finally get their ever after
As they lay their final glance
Upon your ever shining armor
And I don't want to be like you
And I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I don't want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind
Looking from a distance,
the difference seems so small
Has the grass been greener
on the other side at all?
I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I don't want to be you
Trees of green, all I can see
On my way through the forest.
I kneel down on my knees,
I stare into the face of a little man
Showing me his fear,
The humans are coming near.
Take me home deep into the forest,
Show me your life
Or the ruins that are left.
Creatures around me
No telling what they want,
They're looking upon their greatest fear,
Their greatest fear.
Spirits of the forest,
Prevent us from being taken.
Lords from above (above),
Please let them awaken.
The beauty of the trees
And all the things they stand for,
Oxygen turns into a breeze.
Mankind can't take their breath away,
'Cos when the morning comes
Its up to the spirits, the spirits to say.
Now I owe this little man a promise:
Reveal the precious gift of nature,
And I will be the memory,
For I can tell nothing has changed.
The little man disappeared without a trace,
I can't forget the faces
I can't forget the sounds
I can't forget, can't get the fever down
I guess imagination
It makes it come around
Whenever lightning strikes
And thunder sounds
We shared nothing
But storm, but wind
One rains wept moment stuck within
Day by day
I walk the distance alone
Walk the distance alone
Day by day
I fight the fever alone
Fight the fever alone
I can't forget the shaking
Your hands over my own
Both hot with fever
To our very bones
I do regret the feeling
That we will never know
What might have happened
Had we not let go
Day by day
I walk the distance alone
Walk the distance alone
Day by day
I fight the fever alone
Fight the fever alone
I can't forget the faces
I can't forget the sounds
Daylight lucidity
Streams through me
Let me dream
Out of this world, out of this world
Chorus:
I cannot sleep
Sedate me
Wide awake
Animate this soul
I'm still following the pain
Daylight lucidity
Beam on me
Come to me
Into my sleep, into my sleep
Repeat chorus
Don't try to wake what is unreal
The secrest only you must seal
You hold the key of what I need
Unlock the door that will reveal
Repeat chorus
The livelong day there's a voice in my cry
Growing like fire, (it brings) scorn to my smile
Time lengthens the night, and shortens the day,
The ghosts I host don't seem to go away
Chorus:
I've got my reasons
To burn the world
Reasons all my own
A stitch by which I'm attached
to this world of bone 2x
A day for ghosts 4x
Laws dissolve to reveal wonder
As they open up to pull me under
And I will put my terms to the test
To put the ghosts to rest
Judgement is easy
You pick a side and a comfortable lie
Heavy the burden
When every victim is self-defined
Try to understand it's harder to apologize
When all committed crimes
They're just in our minds
It's not enough
How hard I try
It's not enough
To clear my mind
It's not enough
I'm the jury, I'm the judge
And I committed all the crimes
How hard I try
It's not enough
I walked away, and left you bleeding
As I kicked the mud off my feet
I lay on the ground and watched you leaving
My heart fights for every beat
Try to understand it's harder to apologize
When all committed crimes
They're just in our minds
It's not enough
How hard I try
It's not enough
To clear my mind
It's not enough
I'm the jury, I'm the judge
And I committed all the crimes
How hard I try
It feels so dangerous
I don't know where you are
You can't control my every move
Although you try so hard
Accept it, leave it
Your wisdom doesn't make me wise
Accept it, leave it
Your tears don't make me cry
Drifting apart, lay me to waste
I know your fears, I feel your pain
Running away, through a spinning maze
Running away, to a safe escape
No compliance, your boundaries suffocate
My lungs are filled with poison in your cage
Bruises and stains, no power left to stand
You held me down, help me rise again
It feels so dangerous
I don't know where you are
You can't control my every move
Although you try so hard
Accept it, leave it
Your wisdom doesn't make me wise
Accept it, leave it
Your tears don't make me cry
No compliance, your boundaries suffocate
My lungs are filled with poison in your cage
Bruises and stains, no power left to stand
Incomplete, cast in the concrete
Walk the city streets
Granite sky
My machine built the factories
Feeds the worker bees
Get in line
Chrous:
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
The pounding sounds
Round and round and round
The wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
Intensify it all
Little girl in a concrete world
Artificial hurt
In your eyes
You won't see any living trees
Any flower fields in my time
Chorus
I like the plastic people paper world
The silver moon, the iron sun
I'll fold you paper flowers little girl
For you'll never see a real one
The sun was golden flame,
The air was sweet like honey;
The grass was soft we made
A pledge to keep on running.
The clouds were shied away,
The air was warm and damp;
Oh on this golden day,
You ripped my heart away.
It was the dawn of may,
A lonely blackbird singing,
Now the same melody,
Brings back the pain...
[Chorus]:
(Brings back the pain)
You'll get it, regret it
Take my advice!
(Brings back the pain)
You'll get it, regret it
If you are wise!
As long as you forget it all
Entwines
The moon was silver light,
The air was sweet like honey.
We said our last goodbyes,
Now what are we becoming?
Outside the blackbirds sing,
But you keep down the blinds,
'Cause each time you kiss her lips
They'll sing my lullaby.
[Chorus]
Always entwines?
[Bridge]:
Not so long ago,
Now we are sober and cold
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
(You played with my heart,
Maniken, be with us today.
Should we sacrifice more smaller?
Free word of prayers
Certain is our withering.
Many kinds of life they're watching,
We tell the height, the right through howling.
Many strike behold the people,
Evil and skilled.
For now the eyes are watching
And they say to me: comment the lie.
Down the mountain they are coming
With death in their heads.
The strenght lights our belief.
Every common says:
Behold your opponers,
And never, never say die!
Maniken, lower people,
Sheked for not known call.
Ruled by armed people
Getting even within.
Many kinds of life they're watching,
We tell the height, they right through howling.
Many strike behold the people,
Evil and skilled.
For now the eyes are watching
And they say to me: comment the lie.
Down the mountain they are coming
With death in their heads.
You'll soon know the power that is within you.
And when it is unleashed
You'll turn this world into a hollow, hollow hell:
Lost
It seems we have lost
Lay down your arrows
It won't cause flaming hearts
It seems we have lost
We keep on running in different directions
Never again
The way you're turning all my wrongs to right
Never again
This one you can't deny
Never again
I wanted to reveal a softer side
Never again
Forgive me if I tried to do what's right
I was only holding on
To everything we had so far
Thought I was ready but
I can't and I'm not
I was only holding on
To everything we had so far
Thought I was ready but
Now it seems, yes now it seems
It seems we have lost
Lay down your arrows
It won't cause flaming hearts
It seems we have lost
Forget about your pride
Forger everything
Everything you're taught
The way you're turning all my wrongs to right
Never again
This one you can't deny
Never again
I wanted to reveal a softer side
Never again
Forgive me if I tried to do what's right
I was only holding on
To everything we had so far
Thought I was ready but
I'll Reach You
Remember when you walked out into the rain
The railroad and the sky were calling your name
Can you hear them whisper:
"Come and get lost with us"
You've been chasing shadows in your hometown
You searched for answers that refused ever to be found
So you compromised and found a new horizon
Ever since you left you're always on my mind
So here's to you if you care to listen
Here's to you, let me cross the distance
Even if you're not here
I'll reach you, I'll reach you
Even though you're away, I'm near
We'll forgive and forget
I'll reach you
Seven years and seven days you've been gone
Seven years of changing faith and opinion
Would you recognize me
If you walked beside me?
I would keep on waiting
It's been to long
Here's to you if you care to listen
Here's to you, let me cross the distance
Even if you're not here
I'll reach you, I'll reach you
Even though you're away, I'm near
We'll forgive and forget
I'll reach you
Even if you're not here
I'll reach you, I'll reach you
Even though you're away, I'm near
We'll forgive and forget
I'll reach you
Been trying to deny it
Oh what to do
When I'm such a fool for you
I want you
So bad I want you
I want to hold you babe you look away what did I say?
I want you
For better or for worse
I will make you mine
Each warm heart gets cold in time
No follow like a shadow
You won't get through
The web I have spun for you
I want you
So bad I want you
I want to hold you babe you look away what did I say?
I want you
So bad I want you
I want each step you take I will not bend I will not break
I want you bad
I want your innocence
I want your bitterness your loneliness
I want you (I want you)
I want you bad
I want your innocence
I want your every breath in life or death I want you
No-one could see it coming
A tragic day (a tragic day)
How did that car get in your way?
I got you
At last I got you
She'll never see your face forever bound in my embrace
I got you
At last I got you
Hit me with your best shot
Give me all that you've got
Hit me til I'm down and out
And black and blue
Now for the love of God
Hit me with your best shot
It was the last thing on my mind
Well could it be, could it be,
At the wrong place, the right time
Bittersweet surrender
I let the face of concrete meet with mine
Way to kick me when I'm the ground
Way to kick me when I'm already down
When you thought I'd turn around
I turned the other cheek
Hit me with your best shot
Give me all that you've got
Hit me til I'm down and out
And black and blue
Now for the love of God
Hit me with your best shot
You made my peaceful bubble burst
Well you don't just leave me
Destroy me first
Bittersweet surrender
I let you mark the spot
Hit me with your best shot
Give me all that you've got
Hit me til I'm down and out
And black and blue
Now for the love of God
Hit me with your best shot
Give me all that you've got
Hit me til I'm down and out
And black and blue
Now for the love of God
Hit me with your best shot
We're falling to pieces
One by one we're going down
We pick up the pieces
Or leave them scattered on the ground
This will be your final chance
To fight for what we've got
Hit me with your best shot
Give me all that you've got
Hit me til I'm down and out
And black and blue
Now for the love of God
Hit me with your best shot
Give me all that you've got
Hit me til I'm down and out
And black and blue
Now for the love of God
Go Away
Understand, you'll never be
What they expect;
It's out of reach
You're not the kind
To reach that high
It's nothing like you had in mind
Another act
Another show you play
Realize, it will not make your problems go away
You cannot act your way out of your daily demise
Get real today
To hell, just go away
Understand, the road ahead
Is full of gaps
Gets harder yet
You're not the kind
To lead us blind
It's nothing like you had in mind
Another act
Another show you play
Realize, it will not make your problems go away
You cannot act your way out of your daily demise
Get real today
I don't know what to feel, I don't know what to say
Ooh, I don't know what to do, what makes me treat you this way
Oh I get nerve in my bones or I get nerve in my heart
Why don't you leave me alone before I tear you apart?
I'm no Jesus Christ, I'm the one mistake that you love to hate
I apologize, it's your destiny to get the devil out of me
Oh I don't know what to do, it always ends the same way
Though I've been here before, I know the rules to this game
And though I try not to lose, in the end I will fall
Better to have you in tears than not to have you at all
I'm no Jesus Christ, I'm the one mistake that you love to hate (2x)
I apologize, it's your destiny to get the devil out of me
If you think I'm hard to handle (you give up so easily)
I just need a good example (to be what I used to be)
Get the devil out of me
I'm no Jesus Christ, I'm the one mistake that you love to hate
Here I am in all my majesty
And there is nothing you won't get to see
Come along and I'll give you my world
In one-hundred-forty characters
Don't you try to analyse
We are just ways to reach the stars
Can't you see it's generation me
I don't need anyone or anything
I'll make it alone
Can't you see it's generation me
We don't need anyone or anything
Just leave me alone
On and off? I spend my time in vain
In getting everyone to know my name
All I know is my face looks fuckin right
From this certain angle certain light
Don't you try to criticise
No crime a product of our time
So here I am x3
Can't you see it's generation me
I don't need anyone or anything
I'll make it alone
Can't you see it's generation me
We don't need anyone or anything
Misty windows hide your empty eyes
Every moment, every whisper
Seperates you from me
I've been screaming, won't you let me in?
Let me see a trace of the places
Hidden under your skin
Chorus:
Answer me
Until the day that you do
I'll be one step behind you
Answer me
Until the day that you do
I'll be waiting here for you
Needles stick me when you look away
And your silence sounds like
Deafening screams to me
I've been waiting, won't you open your heart?
And let me in
Please let me in
Chorus
Free your mind from doubts
All you have is now*
Free your mind from shame
It will only bring you pain
Control The Storm
I can feel it grow
Starting like a little storm
Itching in my toes
But it's will to take over
Ain't quite that small
I can feel it grow
I can hear it moan
I can hear it's bitter cries
In my veins it crawls
Underneath my tongue it hides
I'm in control
An error in my genesis
The reason why I started this
Where did we go wrong?
Don't you know
In the end you're no stronger of hand
You are no stronger of heart
Don't you know
In the end, we'll be tragically torn apart
If we can't control the storm
Does it get to you?
Fury in your fingertips
It doesn't get me too
Turning hands to angry fists
In rageful bliss
Oh does it get to you?
Crying all your lullabies
Do you lick your wounds
Wondering how we could try to stop this useless fight
An error in my genesis
The reason why I started this
Where did we go wrong?
Don't you know
In the end you're no stronger of hand
You are no stronger of heart
Don't you know
In the end, we'll be tragically torn apart
Come Closer
[Bonus track]
I want to lay my head down
Come close, come closer
What's that uncomfortable sound
Of your key in the door - I hear you walking out
Walking out again
Why didn't you stay a while
To say goodbye, my friend
I want to lay my head down
Come closer, come closer
I thought you'd turn me
But you were turning around
I think I'm losing you
Losing you again
Why didn't you stay a while
To say goodbye, my friend
My friend
Winter shadow cools you
White before your eyes
Summer shadow soothes
Nothing on your mind
Winter shadow cools you
White before your eyes
Summer shadow suits you
Tonight
I want to lay my head down
Come closer, come closer
Trying not to remember
Our most precious of times
Remember winters cold
And summers by my side
Please tell me I do leave
A void of any kind
(Say goobye now)
Winter shadow cools you
White before your eyes
Summer shadow soothes
Nothing o n your mind
Winter shadow cools you
White before your eyes
Easy now
We don't need this
Take a breath
And believe it's
Just a phase
That we're going through
I try to shout
But my words go in and out
Did you even hear me say
That I still love you
We are losing our way
Can't you hear what I say
Like a child, calling out
In the night
We're lost in Babylon, Babylon
Time is slipping away
Holding on, it won't be long
Until the dawn of the day
Lost in Babylon, Babylon
Still we need to believe
When love is gone
We're moving on
Not a long, long way from home
Back to back
We're to proud to face the facts
Though we sleep in the same bed
There's no coming though
Face to face
I can see you through a maze
Of the words we spoke in vain
You know this will go out of hand
If we don't understand
This confusion of tongue
Feels so wrong
We're lost in Babylon, Babylon
Time is slipping away
Holding on, it won't be long
Until the dawn of the day
Lost in Babylon, Babylon
Still we need to believe
When love is gone
We're moving on
Not a long, long way from home
Lost in Babylon
There's a right to your wrongs
There's a truth in my lies
I can't hear from your words
But I see in your eyes
This city drinks and roars
Each word so meaningless
Each word, especially yours, echoes inside my head
Bridge:
Why can't you see
I won't let you get your way
Let you get the best of me
I just need to know
Are you done with me?
Chorus:
So are you done with me
And if you won't you just let me be
I'm trying to understand you keep me believing?
I cannot believe it
This city drinks and screams
This appum? never end
This city made of dreams
My dreams have turned to sand
Bridge + Chrous
So are you done with me
Now you wanna sleep?
Did you realize that I can't be all you need
Are you done with me
Now you wanna sleep
Love is gonna die and die again
Chrous x2
Virtue And Vice
Whatever the prophecy...
Whatever prosperity...
Heaven denied us it's kingdom
Tell me where we've gone wrong
Oh, fortitude, I do like you
But I only speak when spoken to
Heaven forgive, the mess I meant
Temperance, why do I cast
Your prudence to the wind?
Whatever the prophecy
Let it be, Let it be
We'll live all there is to live
Be it pleasure, be it sorrow
Whatever prosperity
Lies in me, lies in me
I'll be all that i can be
My forever starts tomorrow
I am a nightmare haunting you
I steal away your sleep
A poison running through your veins
A wound, that always bleeds
Call it love, call it lust
Luxuria, my enemy,
you get the best of me
Whatever the prophecy
Let it be, Let it be
We'll live all there is to live
Be it pleasure, be it sorrow
Whatever prosperity
Lies in me, lies in me
I'll be all that i can be
God of Amenity?
More like rules the world.
But tonight she may fall,
Demon of insanity.
Will her strength last until
The end of days,
The end of days?
I shed wine
Staring evolution.
The stupids ignorant,
They must be choked by wine.
You must be a loving god
Who taste it out of time.
Should I drown in all your sense,
A world of mental demise?
While she falls on her knees
The angel flies,
But the people don't scatter,
They reunite.
After periods of firing
Insanity, the fires stop.
Then therefore you will rule, monarch.
Feel the strenght enter your soul, Maniken melt.
Stop the Demon and start
God of Amenity?
More like rules the world.
But tonight she may fall,
Demon of insanity.
Will her strength last until
The end of days,
The end of days?
I shed wine
Staring evolution.
The stupids ignorant,
They must be choked by wine.
You must be a loving god
Who taste it out of time.
Should I drown in all your sense,
A world of mental demise?
While she falls on her knees
The angel flies,
But the people don't scatter,
They reunite.
After periods of firing
Insanity, the fires stop.
Then therefore you will rule, monarch.
Feel the strenght enter your soul, Maniken melt.
Stop the Demon and start
Once you ruled my mind I thought you'd always be there
And I'll always hold on to your face
But everything changes in time and the answers are not always fair
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell, time will tell, they say that you've pa*sed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell, they say that you've pa*sed away
And I know that you've gone to a better place
Cordell, Cordell, Cordell, Cordell, Cordell, Cordell, Cordell
Your lover and baby will cry but your presence will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be?
You meant something more to me than what many people would see
And to Hell with the endless dream
Cordell, time will tell, they say that you've pa*sed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell, we all will depart and decay
And we all will return to a better place
Cordell, Cordell, Cordell, Cordell, Cordell, Cordell, Cordell
Na, na
Na, na
Na, na
Trying so hard to get by
To be the next big thing alive
But all the same
Every color I see, a pale shade of grey
Trying so hard and they say
"You're just a signature away
Just one handshake"
Well here's to collars and suits
And things that they say
"Once more it's your chance, just take it
Once more, don't be so blind
For all I care you fake it
It's your chance to shine"
And it's all
All that I dream of
There's nothing I want more
There's nothing I would trade it for
All I dream of
(My mistake if I'm not taking it)
It's all I really want
(All at stake if I'm not making it)
There's nothing I want more
My big break if I'm not braking it)
There's nothing else
(My problem if I can't take it)
It's my problem if I can't take it
Why would we change our own game
These are the rules by which we play
I've heard it all before
"Try to make up your mind
And make up your face"
I don't believe in a way
To skip a chapter and be great
There's no such thing
Where all traumas and flaws are gently erased
Here's to the collars and suits
And the things they say
You've got bring something better to the
Table to tempt me
Here's to the collars and suits
And the things they say
to believe in escape.
'A life on every face'
But that's a change,
until I'm finally left with an '8'.
Tell me to relax - I just stare.
Maybe I don't know
if I should change
a feeling that we share.
It's a shame
(such a shame)
Number me with rage
It's a shame (such a shame)
Number me in haste (such a shame)
This eagerness to change
It's a shame
The dice decide my fate
that's a shame (that's a shame)
In these trembling hands my faith
tells me to react
"I don't care"
Maybe it's unkind if I should change
a feeling that we share.
It's a shame
(such a shame)
Number me with rage...
(Number me with the rage)
(Write across my name)
It's a shame (such a shame)
Number me with rage
It's a shame (such a shame)
Number me in haste (such a shame)
Breath on Me [8x]
The strangest place that I have never seen
But Im photographs
But Im devious dreams
These songs of Romans ringing in my ear
You are all I see
You are all I hear
Yet I smack my
Just one split second and I knew tonight
Yes you can
Be my song the cherry man
Ill be your girl named Joyce
Ill be all you need and more
Breath on me
Breath on me
Ah, my way
Bring me back to life
Breath on me
Breath on me
Fill me ever made me feel like
What is black my soul is bleeding
Give me something to believe in
Breath on me
Tonight
Breath on Me [4x]
Trying to stay cool as Im approaching you
Hitchin up my skirt
As I start to flirt
My mouth is breathing when Im close to you
I cant help but being
Breathless over you
Release the stars
You are my only star tonight
Who needs the moon?
When you are my lover man
Until the bitter end
Ill do all I can and more
Breath on me
Breath on me
Ah, my way
Bring me back to life
Breath on me
Breath on me
Fill me ever made me feel like
What is black my soul is bleeding
Give me something to believe in
Breath on me
Tonight
You call me the wild rose [3x]
Breath on me
Breath on me
Ah, my way
Bring me back to life
Breath on me
Breath on me
Fill me ever made me feel like
What is black my soul is bleeding
Give me something to believe in
Breath on me
Carved and gave you my heart
Love will tear us apart
Unavoidable the break
Carved and gave you my heart
Love will tear us apart
We both realised from the start
Bridge:
All my expectations are sane
So why do I take the blame?
You yourself were king of them game
So why do I pay for your pain?
Chorus:
If I hurt you so much
Then where is the blood, where is the blood?
If I hurt you so much
Then where is the blood?
If I hurt you so much
Then where is the blood, where is the blood?
If I hurt you so much
Then where is the blood?
Undeniably yours,
I'm forever and more
Do you buy these lies you said?
Undeniably yours,
I'm forever and more
When I caught you in the act
Bridge + Chorus
Can you believe
I still think of you
Can you believe
I still dream we could turn around
But I forgave forgot too many times
Can you believe
I still think of you
Can you believe
I still dream we could turn around
But I forgave forgot too many times
If I hurt you so much
If I hurt you so much
If I hurt you so much
Then where is the blood, where is the blood?
If I hurt you so much
I'm walking with Sophie tonight,
She lives in the air that I breathe;
I can't get it out of my mind
How you were left to bleed...
Was it how you dressed?
Or how you act?
I can't believe
How they could act so violently,
Without regret,
We will not forget...
[Chorus]:
We are the others,
We are the cast-outs,
We're the outsiders
But you can't hide us,
We are the others,
We are the cast-outs,
You're no longer on your own
If you feel mistreated,
Torn and cheated,
You're not alone,
We are the others
(We are the others)
As simple as air in your lungs,
As simple as words on your lips,
And no one should take that away,
No one should argue this,
Now with our heads up high,
We'll carry on,
And carry out,
And we won't let them get us down,
Wear us out,
'Cause we are not alone...
[Chorus]
[Bridge]:
Normal is not the norm,
It's just the uniform...
(We are the others)
Forget about the norms,
(We're the outsiders)
Take off your uniform,
(We are the others)
We are beautiful,
(We are the others)
[Chorus]
We are the others,
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soul
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Cry , boy, cry...
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Close your eyes
For the night is falling
Fear no dark
For it's warm and safe
And looks familiar
As it comes approaching
Come with me
And I will take you
Chorus:
A world beyond your sleep
Beyond what's real
An in safety hidden sphere
Away from our daily reality
Truth lies out there 2x
As the innocent
Lay their heads down
As the night chants it's
Luring call
Cross the borders of
Sense and foresight
Come with me
And I will take you
You don't have to be afraid
Chorus2:
A tear is only water
A sigh is only air
Whenever you feel haunted
The truth lies out there 2x
My skin still burns
At all the places you've touched
So aware
You leave no place for hiding
Not last night
Not this time
Chorus:
I close my eyes, so the world can't see me
And draw the silhouette of a dancer in my head
I can't look through your eyes
But my mind betrays mine
Should I starve unmarked?
Or confess to my blindness
My eyes still hurt
Fighting chasing lights
as they form
Silhouettes behind me
Let them go
This time
Waiting for a change
I can't fight these chains
Every day,
I bleed to avoid the pain
Every Day
I fade a little more
Engaged in a memory
Engaged in a prison of guilt
Surrounded by reproach
And everybody knows
[Chorus:]
She flies over town in white shades
But you're left behind
With a thousand troubled minds
You cannot speak; you're blinded by your grief
She flies over town in white shades
And guides every step
But still you feel alone
Cause angels don't come home
As the sky is clearing
You clear your mind
Hide all mirrors not to see
What the morphine couldn't hide
Shattered faces on the floor
Your broken mask serves you no more
[Chorus:]
She flies over town in white shades
But you're left behind
With a thousand troubled minds
You cannot speak; you're blinded by your grief
She flies over town in white shades
And guides every step
But still you feel alone
Cause angels don't come home
[Chorus:]
She flies over town in white shades
But you're left behind
With a thousand troubled minds
You cannot speak; you're blinded by your grief
She flies over town in white shades
And guides every step
But still you feel alone
Things that I thought I had put far behind
Find the mind, connect to sever
I felt deeply how my feelings combined
That it's like, they'll never sever
In a way I started today
To weave garlands for the grave
It will break me till my knees bend
It will leave me with nothing in the end
In a blatant mind, my thoughts have entwined
But if you feel the real they will divide
From beyond within, the heart plays its part
The real and fake forever sever
Standing in the shadow of our lies
To hide our imperfections
Doing anything we can to hide
Eyes wide open but still blind
To see what really matters
And insecurity won't go
See me in shadow
Standing by the ruins of your soul
That cries for some more meaning
Wondering when you have
Become so cold
Chorus:
So cold
And all the pictures of your past are gone
So cold, so cold
Forget yourself
And who you are
Another life is not that far
Standing by the paintings of your dreams
But you have awoken
And all the purples and the greens
Have turned to black
And the ruins of your soul
Have died, no more meaning
I wonder when you have Become so cold
Repeat chorus
Not that far
Once upon the dawn
Day will break
It begins on time
Flowing while it's glowing
It arrives on time
Subjected to origin
Is to know that nothing
Becomes of the contemptible
Waiting for the dawn
Hope to find
I'll cling to my pride
Clearest form
Closest to pure perfection
The essence yet unfolds itself
The chain of strength it holds
Waiting for the dawn
Hope to find
I'll cling to my pride
Reaching from the inside
All I know, night must go
Open the dawn
Behold the purest form
The essence unfolds
The chain of strength you held
As a distant dream I hover
I call all the stars
As a distant dream I hover
Nothing Left
Nothing left to make you feel high
Nothing left to turn you on
Laughing in your childish disguise
You rule the night
Follow me back home
'Cause the night is young
And I'm tired of being alone
Follow me back home
Give me just one more
To send shivers
To the bone
Nothing left, The magic is gone
Pallor face in morning light
Someone, close the curtains
Oh, how it hurts your eyes
Follow me back home
'Cause the night is young
And I'm tired of being alone
Follow me back home
Give me just one more
To bring shivers
To the bone
Nothing left
It's time to leave
Can you make it on your own?
Nothing left
It's time to breathe
Can you follow me back home?
Nothing left to make you feel high
Nothing left to turn you on
Dwelling in your dreams every day
Disturbs your night
Nothing left
It's time to leave
Can you make it on your own?
Nothing left
It's time to breath e
A scream breaks the still of the night
The time has now come
No time for talk or for change
The damage is done
Try as they might to deceive
The knew it would fall
The ones that we trusted
They lied to us all
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Rulers of nations
See the world's in decline
Time for the leveler, the reaper
Who now will preside
It isn't for me or for you
The ones to decide
What man has the right to dictate
The fate of mankind
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Death, persecution, unholy retribution
We hide from the future, we search to the past
For some kind of answer
To the scene that is cast
This unstoppable force
This relentless remorse
What is the solution
To this mad mad world
Total autonomy
Is the way for me
Why must it be
How long before we see
The futility of it all
The hammer will fall
Screamin'
Darkness descends
No more shall the sun ever shine
Intense searing heat
Winds strip the earth of it's life
Now we're all gone
It's time for you to arrive
To make a brave new world
A divine afterlife
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
In the dead of night, I slipped away
I left my home, my own country
For political views, they persecuted me
Freedom for all, democracy
To set my people free
Got to find a way
From the grip of tyranny
Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary
Give to me, sanctuary
As dusk casts a shadow, my fate had dawned
In this holy shrine, I pray to the Lord
Within these walls, to fulfill my plight
For what I believe, I must fight the good fight
To set my people free
Got to find a way
From the grip of tyranny
Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary
Give to me, sanctuary
Prisoners of conscience, see the country's shame
Faceless politicians, playing power games
Out of light comes darkness, out of pleasure comes pain
We must fight against oppression, time and time again
The sands of time are running low
This holy sanctuary, my home no more
Now I'll die, your soul bleeds to death
Now I await, my passing breath
To set my people free
Got to find a way
From the grip of tyranny
Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary
Give to me, sanctuary
Give to me, sanctuary
When I try to sleep at night
Premonitions haunt my sight
Visions flash before my eyes
Swear to God I tell no lies
People say that I'm insane
Premonitions on my brain
Illusions, visions that ain't there
Prisoner in my own nightmare
Premonition, premonition
Pass before my eyes
Premonition, premonition
Swear to God I tell no lies
Fear of dying, I'm so afraid
I wake up screamin' in the night
Endless darkness, strange cries
Feel my body slowly die
So caught up in doubt, confusion
Bad dreams, strange illusions
Slowly going around the bend
I can see my life's end
Premonition, premonition
Pass before my eyes
Premonition, premonition
Swear to God I tell no lies
Unseen hand lifts the veil
To the things that are to be
As no into the future
Man is allowed to see
When I try to sleep at night
Premonitions haunt my sight
Visions flash before my eyes
Swear to God I tell no lies
People say that I'm insane
Premonitions on my brain
Illusions, visions that ain't there
Prisoner in my own nightmare
Premonition, premonition
Pass before my eyes
Premonition, premonition
Motiveless killer out of control
Dagger poised to take your soul
Your days are numbered, you don't stand a chance
A stab to the heart, you're in permanent trance
Adrenaline high, prepare to die
Soon to draw your last breath
Your time has come, there's nowhere to run
Fear will last forever
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Ultimate sinner hours remain
A silence looms, it's the end of the game
You fall to your death in a frenzied attack
Shot to ribbons, burning black
Twisted and torn, since the day you were born
The pain, the sorrow, the sadness
For those who died, it burns inside
It will last forever
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
You gambled your way through life in a feverish desperation
Your own demise was just a matter of time
Trapped in mind, no fear of dying
If you had lived, you'd have crucified us all
Into the fire, eternal flame
Burn in hell, again and again
Shrouded in darkness, you pray for light
Your soul awaits the second sight
Twisted and torn, since the day you were born
The pain, the sorrow, the sadness
For those who died, it burns inside
It will last forever
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
A dormant force emerging
The power that it holds is rising
A mass of energy is now accumulating
Born again, a new chapter has begun
Fight, only the strong survive
Strike, before it's too late
Fight for the right to survive
You must never say die
Pursue your aims
Chase them while you can
Laws of retaliation, now in command
Take your second strike
Take it while you can
Laws of retaliation, now in command
All those hungry ears, to feed
From obscurity, now destined to succeed
Second rays of light are growing stronger
All expectations have now been surpassed
Fight, do what you need to survive
Strike, before it's too late
Fight for the right to survive
You must never say die
Pursue your aims
Chase them while you can
Laws of retaliation, now in command
Take your second strike
Take it while you can
Laws of retaliation are now at your command
Those wasted years have not deterred us
Rejuvenated, forget the past
At the point of no return
That same old dream now reality
Reality
Now we return to our own domain
All our hopes remain the same
Stand and fight, stand and fight
Believe in yourself until the end
Until the end
Like a lightning war, we've been through it all
This time we shall stand, we shall not fall
Soaring on a vision, higher and higher
With heart and soul, it burns like fire
On what does the future hold
Only time will tell
On what does the future hold
Only time will tell
Fight!
With a burning passion surging through our veins
To win not to lose, it's the aim of the game
The right to succeed you can't deny
With adrenaline pounding, a natural high
On what does the future hold
Only time will tell
On what does the future hold
Only time will tell
Now it seems to me that the powers that be
Were locked in a deadly game
Mistakes were made and lessons were learned
But no one bared the blame
Now we laugh at those who doubt us
Now our dream is reality
It personifies our determination
It's plain for all to see
A dormant force, emerging
The power that it holds is rising
A mass of energy is now accumulating
Born again, a new chapter has begun
Fight, do what you need to survive
Strike, before it's too late
Fight for the right to survive
You must never say die
Pursue your aims
Chase them while you can
Laws of retaliation, now in command
Take your second strike
Take it while you can
Laws of Talion, now in command
Fight
Fight
Fight
Fight
