Oh oh oh oh
If you fall into my arms
I will keep you falling
And if you break down in my doorway
I will sleep with you there
And if you cry out in the dark
I will hear you calling
And if you are cold and wounded
I will shiver at your side
At your side
I could be yours if you write me a letter
I could be yours if you see me in the street
I could be sometime always or never
I could be all of the things you'd ask of me
You'd ask of me
If you are tired and trembling
I will hold you in your bed
And if you're consumed by a red rage
I will stroke your matted head
And if you are chased by a nightmare
I will dive into your dreams
And if you are followed by old ghosts
I will watch them till they leave, till they leave
I could be yours if you write me a letter
I could be yours if you see me in the street
I could be sometime always or never
I could be all of the things you'd ask of me
But how, how do I go
If your heart, won't let me know
And how, how can I be
If your eyes still let me see
And where, where can I run
If your legs still hold me up
And who, who can I be
If your hugs still help me breath
I could be yours if you write me a letter
I could be yours if you see me in the street
I could be sometime always or never
I could be all of the things you'd ask of me
You'd ask of me
Ashes to ashes
and dust to dust
that's what has become
of our love and trust
Love has no direction
cause love has no aim
love can leave you
as fast as she came
Meeting is such sweet sorrow
cause someday we may have to part
hush don't you make a sound
you're gonna let me down
Good things come
to those who wait
but good things are gone
from those who are late
All that I am
is all I can give
but with or without you
my life I must live
Meeting is such sweet sorrow
cause someday we may have to part
hush don't you make a sound
you're gonna let me down
Living ain't easy
since you've been gone
no one else can please me
or make me feel home
Forgetting ain't easy
you stay on my mind
thoughts of us haunt me
there's a blood stain on the floor by the door where your whole world fell and died. there's a silent chair in the corner of the room where you sat alone and cried. well she got something to say to you, but the words never mean a thing, so she took that needle to her pain and set herself free. burn! burn it to the ground. when times got tough you got a little tougher then you slowly fell behind. running to catch the things you could not see, running to catch what you could not find. well i never wanted to need you, now it's time for you to see, this forgotten pain that you tried to hide, buried in your apathy. burn! burn all to the ground...
Someone told me
What doesn't kill you only
Makes you stronger, sets you free
From all that held you down
With all my heart, I believed
The ember burning
Was a dream deep in me
When everything went up in flames
I still walked away
Turn around and see what love's done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes
I was broken
A million pieces left to hold
I was frozen
My heart left out in the cold
Looking back I can see
How the voice of reason
Kept reminding me
I was never good enough somehow
Try and remind me now
Turn around and see what love's done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes
Send it up in flames
Let it light the sky
Now that I know pain...I'm more alive
I'm more alive
Turn around and see what love's done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
I KNEW they could not keep You there
Welcome home
Now we are Stronger than EVER,
We are One
I prayed the Lords of Darkness
It did work, like always
Now it is time for Us
To Get Even
They put You to Six feet under
Nothing I despite more
Than those stones of weakness
So, We must Destroy them...
...and all what they represent.
Side by side We are walking
Until The End
Side by side We meet Our Lord,
Who reigns in...
FIRE.
WE STAND PROUD..
AND KILL...
And the burning of the embers
Slowly down inside
I will keep you warm this darkness
As the ashes die
I will call your soul in winter
I will keep you mine
I will call your soul and winter
As the ashes die
I will keep you broke and splintered
I will keep you tight
I will keep you cold and dark
Till the end of time
And the soul is slowly seeping
As the years go by
Will you keep me cold and darkened
Till the end of time
I will keep you safe from summer
I will be entwined
I will keep you cold and darkened
Till the end of time
I will kiss your burning embers
I will watch them die
I will watch your soul escaping
It's been so long; it's hard to breathe
When the trust is gone,
And you face of steel just melts away in the weather.
You got a lot to weigh, so weigh it
You got a lot to say, just say it.
Aren't you tired of wasting fuel?
So, now I'll hand the fuse to you!
Burn it all, let's burn it all;
Let fire fall, let fire fall,
What's done is done, it's in the past, it's ashes.
I'm tired of you; you're tired of me;
I hate the things you said to me,
Now, here's your chance to take it back, It's ashes...
Maybe I should drive home...far from sober?
And maybe I should sleep alone,
'Cause I don't have a rubber?
You got a lot to weigh, so weigh it.
You got a lot to say, just say it.
Aren't you tired of wasting fuel?
Now I'll hand the fuse to you!
I wonder when you'll see
How much you really mean to me,
Oh, my god, who in the hell has been washing your brain,
Just loose the girl and start again!
Maybe then, Maybe then...Maybe then, Maybe then...
Burn it all, let's burn it all;
Let fire fall, let fire fall,
What's done is done, It's in the past, it's ashes.
I'm tired of you; you're tired of me;
I hate the things you said to me,
Now, here's your chance to take it back, It's ashes...
Ashes, it's ashes...Ashes, it's ashes...Ashes, it's ashes...Ashes...
Here we stand and face the world
Renegades of consternation
Innocent in thought and word
Ready for a new sensation
Block up the dam
close up the well
to stop it flowing
Your memory is not preferred
For that is not the way we're going
Sliding away from liberty
to lethargy we fall
Subsiding again
collapsing from the burden of it all
But time after time
We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a
March of progress
From ashes we rise
to ashes we fall
Our hand in it all
Here we stand and take the blame
We thought that this could last forever
We turned our backs on God again
But everybody longs for heaven
Sliding away from vision
to deficiency we fall
Subsiding again
collapsing from the burden of it all
But time after time
We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a
March of progress
Here we stand and face the end
Apathy alive and growing
On independence we depend
But that is not the way we're going
Sliding away from plenty
to dependency we fall
Subsiding again
collapsing from the burden of it all
But time after time
We belive in better
Never let a chance pass us by
and we're sure we'll never fail to notice
Sign after sign
That a change is coming
time is running out like a tide
but we think we're on a
March of progress
but we think we're on a
You don?t understand me
And you probably never will
Got a tendency to self destruct
And a soft spot for the filth
A hair trigger temperament
A switchblade for a tongue
Walking one man genocide
Black belt in corrupt
Everything I touch turns to ashes
Falls away, falls away
Everything I touch turns to ashes
Slips right through my hands
Love me, hate me, isolate me
Everyday that I'm alive
Strait up, mentally unstable
You don?t have to like my life
I'm a jinx, a curse, some say the worst
I'm a savage, rabid beast
Been called so many fucking things
It doesn?t affect me in the least
I've stolen, lied, been crucified
But I don?t regret a thing
I'm an egocentric masochist
With a sadist's point of bleak
Everything I touch turns to ashes
Falls away, it falls away
Everything I touch turns to ashes
Slips right through my hands
Love me, hate me, isolate me
Everyday that I'm alive
We live to prove you wrong, it?s easy
When your heart is filled with ice
Chapters in my life define me
Changed me into this deprived
Strait up, mentally unstable
You don?t have to like my life
Everything I touch turns to ashes
Falls away, falls away
Everything I touch turns to ashes
Slips right through my hands
Rising only now and then
'Cause you're worlds away
Nothing stands to reason when
You're believing all they say
Because I'm not, I'm not the one
To talk to now
CHORUS:
And she said, I'll never be
A part of all you'd like to see
So take your time 'cause summer's over now
Drive away the days
That I would never understand
Nothing brings you from the cold
Like emptiness of hand
And I'm waiting, waiting for
The final hour
Repeat Chorus
And it's over now...
Distance shining
Ashes for the dying
Heaven help the face that's crying now
And if I wanted more
Would I dream it up somehow
Into the heat
Swallowed into that hole
Melted down
[Chorus:]
Burned to ashes
And the ashes flew
In the wind
Taken by breath
As I breathe on
Shadows in my head
When I'm too high to think
Give me my view
[Chorus:]
Ease my whirlwind
You thought so
These aren't your concerns
They're ours
This is not what we wanted in the first place
But it's ok
After all
It's been called
The fate of a dreamer
[Chorus:]
Loved by only you
It is all I allow
It has been called
I am afraid of how fast things change,
Seems yesterday, you were singing my name.
Now that you're gone, I'm not the same
Just half of a heart, taking the blame.
I miss your eyes and I miss the way
You made me believe, we would be okay.
And I miss the hope, I had for the day
You would be mine, and love would stay.
I am afraid of what I could do,
Afraid of myself when it comes to you.
To watch your parade, and after all we’ve been through
Kissing the cheek of somebody new.
And miss you eyes and I miss the way,
You made me believe we would be okay.
And I miss the hope I had for the day
hen you would be mine and love would stay
And love would stay
When it gets cold, don’t be alone,
Take that new girl and build her a home.
Be what she needs,
Maybe you'll see
Your more than the man, you used to be
Dance toe to toe, never let go
Of all that you feel
And all that you know
Darling, I hope
You'll wake up one day
In every way hers, and love will stay.
Bending bone avoiding arrows
Acting like the day we found you
Holding back as they push forward
Beg and steal but say you borrowed
Why did you care if they
Dont know why you did what you did
Doesnt matter in the end
When will you understand
You burned so bright
Despite their reactions
Cant get around
The sight of your ashes
We stopped counting
long ago
Holding on to their tomorrows
Cant connect just cant follow
Played it out but not quite bleeding
Standing, kicking you go screaming
How do you know that we
Dont care why you did what you did
Doesnt help when you pretend
When will you understand
You burned so bright
Despite their reactions
Cant get around
The sight of your ashes
Certified
In modern day fashions
Gave you away
In spite of the acting
We stopped counting
long ago
You burned so bright
Despite their advances
Cant get around
The sight of your ashes
Certified
In modern day fashions
Sent you away
A chorus of laughter
We stopped counting
dont you know
We stopped counting
dont you know
We stopped counting
I am a pain in your ass
And I'm wondering how long it's gonna last
Be my mirror, be my friend,
Be the workhouse of the energy
I twist your arm to spin
Everyday, like a power station
You know it isn't good
I know you're burning too much wood
Oh, when you burn out
The twisted irony is
Your ashes come home to me
Come home to me
So we take a walk
To make some sense
And I'm wondering if you fancy my defence
I have pushed you
Way too far
And you say "fuck you little princess
Who the hell do you think you are?"
Everyday, like a power station
You know it isn't good
You know you're burning too much wood
But I said if you burn out
The twisted irony is
Your ashes come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Yeah well your ashes come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
'Cause no other sucker's gonna have you
on the fucking mantelpiece
The mantelpiece
Sick, black despair, a depression monologue
Black storm weather, crippling mental fog
On forges descent, through bleakest sorrow
Deeper she went...
As darkness is, cloud mental disruption
Cold feeling overcome
Only for a moment she walks alone
Beyond the tumult
Life and death!
Scars and flesh... virus life consume
Sickness scars the surface
She knew she was rotting
Even before she slipped away
As shadows coalesce
And sunlight recedes
Slowly... slowly...
Guess we came up in a ghost town.
Now all those buildings have burned down.
Another price to be paid for being free.
It's getting harder to see now that the lights have all gone out.
Can't pay for the electricity.
And all along they've been saying nothing new to me.
Lately, seems right is wrong and wrong is everything we need maybe.
And still the beds are burning, burning in our sleep.
Take me away from everything I see.
There' gunshots on the dancefloor.
Please tell me what do we die for?
And by the way, yesterday, bet you were me.
Seen hard days, probably see more.
There's police at the front door saying
"by the way, yesterday, heard you were free."
And all along they've been saying nothing new to me.
Lately, seems right is wrong and wrong is everything we need maybe.
And still the beds are burning, burning in our sleep.
Take me away from everything I see.
And we'll dance on the ashes of what's left,
as long as these hearts beat in our chests.
And we fell through the railings and pavements,
while I wondered if they get what I get.
And I promise you I won't be leaving,
without taking you where I go.
See the price of belief's in believing.
Anywhere that we go we'll be share this same old song.
And we'll be standing singing.
As if it's life we're living.
As if it's blood we're spilling.
Our evils now are ending
we were actors, we were spirit
melted into air
now i left my spell.
Forgivness i embrace
heaven send hell away
all my life as a dream with open minds i'll restart.
I was blind and deaf until the day
of wave became.
I have faith in evil, in his balance of the blame
all this world around did i created on my own
and now it's time to free this island and be gone.
All my life, like ashes in my hand
now forgive me prosper 'till the end
the magic of storms i'll feel in my heart
like a blames.
Time, now it's time
feels like ashes
all my life
how the stars.
I was blind and deaf until the day
of wave became
I have faith in evil, in his balance of the blame
all this world around did i created on my own
now it's time to free this island and be gone.
Lay a mercy on my enemy
i'll forgive them even across the sea
we are such a stuff, as dreams are made on
set me free.
I'll carry on, carry on
tell me, is my start ?
we are such a stuff, as dreams are made on
There will be brand new faces
There will be brand new cities
There will be brand new statues
But the people we'll pray to
There will be new love
This is the final warning
Leave this disgusting shell
Now we know that this is it
Your body, your soul's hell
Here we are close to your eyes
Or are you too blind to see
Don't stay, release your blood
Cut yourself free
I have seen the war, the third and the last
The final act of the gods, they are fighting
Where there's no glory to win
Let the mayhem begin
Nothing but a big black hole
Reflection of a forgotten world cast shadows of unseen beauty
And a land once full of knowledge now lies in oblivion
Slaughter extermination and total destruction
That is the third war's introduction
By earthquake and thunder they ensemble
The gods' army is beginning to tremble
Terror spread across the world
Chaos came shortly after
To destroy the world so fine
Nothing but a big black hole
Reflection of a forgotten world cast shadows of unseen beauty
And a land once full of knowledge now lies in oblivion
Now it's just you and I
Playing our little game
Now one of us has to die
So the other can keep it's fame
This is the final warning
Leave this disgusting shell
Now we know that this is it
Your body, your soul's hell
Here we are close to your eyes
Or are you too blind to see
Don't stay, release your blood
Cut yourself free
Terror spread across the world
Chaos came shortly after
One sign of seven for the day of malice
The time has come for us to pay our depths
Seek now try to find salvation for your soul
The final sign is soon to be seen
The son of mourning came
And stillness sang it's song
The birds have fallen down
And the desert froze to ice
The rivers will be filled with blood
And the sun will turn black
These are the signs you son
Son of mourning spawned
A stillborn child will soon arrive
The final sign is here
Your flesh, your blood
Is burnt, you're dead
The son of mourning came
And stillness sang it's song
The birds have fallen down
And the desert froze to ice
The rivers will be filled with blood
And the sun will turn black
These are the signs you son
Son of mourning spawned
In the eye of the beholder
I stirred in blindness
I look for evil
Searching for what's not there
What will it be
Go ahead and cry you have done yours
Don't bother to come back here anymore
Do it, Crawl up and die
We are here, to wave you goodbye
See the Light of God
Now it will be destroyed
Hear the songs of Angels
It will disappear forever
Feel the lust of love
The lust has now vanished
Can you feel the trust
As you are betrayed
The destruction of the human race
The earth is just a memory
Nothing left here at all
What is this, this is Armageddon
See the light of god
Now it will be destroyed
Hear the songs of angels
It will disappear forever
Feel the lust of love
The lust has now vanished
Can you feel the trust
A thing have woken in your heart
The lust for hate the lust for blood
Your can not hide from things you feel
You're stuck eternal feelings
It came to you a dusk like this
It twist and turned like fire
In the realms of broken faith
You're stuck eternal feelings
What is going on, it's from another dimention
I'm the one I live inside your soul
Beware your soul keeps turning
Fade away like in a twilight zone
A distance not to be for real
The things you feel the things you know
They are from me and they are real
I am the one that turns you faith
Around and round eternaly
Eternal feelings! Eternal feelings!
What's going on, it's from another dimension
A thing have woken in your heart
The lust for hate and lust of blood
You can not hide from the things you feel
You're stuck eternal feelings
It came to you a dusk like this
It twist and turned like fire
In the realms of broken faith
You're stuck eternal feelings
Have tried to get rid of this
For a thousand years or so
There's nothing you can do
You're stuck eternal feelings
When you can't stop for death
He kindly stops for you
Don't try to run
Cold is my yell
As cold as sites of ancient fires
Like hell
My mind is burning with recollections of great days
My spirit's just the fierce force of northern gales
It seeks to break away like hell
The flame within my soul is flaring up again
There's no more doubt in my heart no chains
Strength is my nature firm will to win has been collected
I feel approach of last and fatal battle
The sky is lightened with queer crimson dashes
I will pour out my hate and threaten
My foes my wrath my hate will turn them into ashes
The shadows gather round and
Fill my soul with gloom
They never would compound
You claim I don't know you, but I know you well
I read in those ash eyes we've been through hell
I've walked with the weakest just to feel strong
You've given your body just to belong
Let's burn together
Let's burn together
This pain will never end
These scars will never mend
I taste your sorrow and you taste my pain
Drawn to each other for every stain
Licking the layers of soot from your skin
Your tears work my crust to let yourself in
Touching you harder
Touching you harder now
As we walk through the ashes
I whisper your name
A taste of pain to cling to
As we walk through the ashes
You whisper my name
Who's the one with the sickest mind...
now?
This pain will never end
Our scars will never mend
Cleansing sweat
We are just using each other
Too depraved to stay alive
But too young to die
And we hurt
Thus we hurt
Scrubbing it harder
Too late to back out now
Scrubbing it even harder
As these two broken barren desolate disordered words collide
As we walk through the ashes
I whisper your name
A taste of pain to cling to
As we walk through the ashes
You whisper my name
Who's the one with the sickest mind...
now?
This pain will never end
These scars will never mend
Damn this dirty bed
It's hard to admit I'm wrong sometimes
But even harder to admit I'm right
Compromise as the sun rises and falls
Just trying to avoid the fight
Thinking I'm upholding my purpose from God
While my soul and spirit fall apart
I smile and play along with everything
As I lie to my own heart
The things I think Satan wants torn apart
Maybe it's him holding them together
His hand not behind the malfunctions
But the tensions that ensue with others
It's all a game I play along with
Close your eyes and bow your head
I get home and I ponder my lies
And I know that I am dead
Each Christian life in the balance
More important than any charade
Who's purpose only delays the inevitable
And ultimately sends it into the flames
With foundation in place I must stand
The compromise must end
Or God will walk me through the ashes
Suicidal sacrifice
For the unhallowed Christ
The red shall flow in pain
Slowly slicing up your vein
Betrayed by the Christianizer
You will burn in hell's fire
Step forth the creator
You are our traitor
You're the one that's not him
The unborn son of a fake he is
You should sit on the throne
The throne of grace
Your bride, she cried tears of love
The lust for love she couldn't have
Her wings are gone by lust in pain
And the angels wept
You will pay for your lies
Can you hear the cries?
Cries from your angels
Your work is done in vein
No more god will reign
Crush the holy spirit
Hate now control's your mind
Killing makes you blind
Soo you will die
Death, nothing will remain
They are dead or insane
Your kingdom is gone
You're the one that's not him
The unborn son of a fake he is
You should sit on the throne
The throne of grace
Your bride, she cried tears of love
The lust for love she couldn't have
Her wings are gone by lust in pain
And the angels wept
Suicidal sacrifice
For the unhallowed Christ
The red shall flow in pain
Slowly slicing up your vein
Betrayed by the Christianizer
You will burn in hell's fire
Step forth the creator
You are our traitor
You're the one that's not him
The unborn son of a fake he is
You should sit on the throne
The throne of grace
Your bride, she cried tears of love
The lust for love she couldn't have
Her wings are gone by lust in pain
And the angels wept
They wept tears in blood
Black blood of pain
They wept tears of love
As your eyes start to bleed, you realize it's too late
And as your sky starts to fall, you realize you're standing alone
The time has come for this to bleed
The opening of what you've always known is growing near
All you've feared here
Looks you in the eyes
We all fall down
Skies are falling tonight
As you run and hide
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
The wrath of your hate has returned
The plague is reaping back
Three-fold of what you've already sown
All you've feared here
Looks you in the eyes
We all fall down
Skies are falling tonight
As you run and hide
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It is said hail and fire mixed with blood
Will be thrown down upon the earth
Darkness fills a third of the lands
And the angels cry woe
A star from heaven is thrown from the sky
Destroying a third of our seas
Not only these things but more will come
It is our fate, it is the end
Apocalypse
We die here tonight
You die here tonight
We all die here tonight
Skies are falling tonight
As you run and hide
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Little needle on my skin. Your injection counts me in. 1, 2, 3, 4. Like it was for free. Come and take what you want from me, we can run at the open fields. You can have it - tonights mistery.
Look around, I'm your Stella. If you're not mine, but I want you to be. Standig here, beauty side. I could be yours, but do you want me?
For my hart there's a simple code: Push it hard and it will explode. Give it to me, more than I can ought.
My lips are pink and my skin is white. Take me with you and we leave tonight. Listen to me, I will make it right.
Look around, I'm your Stella. If you're not mine, but I want you to be. Standig here, beauty side. I could be yours, but do you want me?
The ashes of burning love. Come on hurry and take me with you. The ashes of burning love. Come on hurry and take me with you.
Look around, I'm your Stella. If you're not mine, but I want you to be. Standig here, beauty side. I could be yours, but do you want me? But do you want me?
(Ashes, ashes. Ashes to gold)
I've waited, and given the chance again,
I'd do it all the same, but either way
I'm always outplayed, up on your down days
I left it the right way, to start again
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long I've agreed
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long I've agreed
Out of place, like a gem on a coalface
Lost on the right way, it's all the same
'Cause I've had my hopes raised, riding the wrong waves
Scared when you feel safe to start again
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, look how wrong I could be
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Awaaaaaaay
Ashes
I can feel your anger
I can see your pain
As time will slowly fade away
far beyond in silence
Who's the guide when you are blind?
I can hear your distressed breath
Pretending the nightmares are gone
Slowly you wither away
From the ashes of the old
A new dawn will rise
Time to sacrifice
Open your eyes and
Reach up to the skies
Tell me do you feel
Anything at all...
Deep inside you are lost
Falling into darkness
From the ashes of the old
A new dawn will rise
Time to sacrifice
Open your eyes and
Reach up to the skies
From the ashes of the old
A new dawn will rise
Time to sacrifice
Open your eyes and
Reach up to the skies
I smell something burning... it's us
Sausage lips and greasy tips
It's that sweet fried pork
Spitting on the spit, spitting on the spit
You can't stem the blood and fire
By squeezing it in your hand
I've got the desire, I've got the desire
My hair is on fire
Ashes to ashes
My blood is boiling
I've got the stiff stand straight up my ass
Smell the gas, smell the sewer gas
You can't stoke the coals
Without a couple of third degree burns
Her the wheels of industry turn, turn, turn
My ass is burning
Ashes to ashes
Fire burn low, down we go
This little piggy went to the market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roasted beef
This little piggy had none
Break out the fire arms, let's do some harm
Rake the pit for the remnants, get it all
Back up the truck, we've got to get our ashes hauled
Ashes to ashes
I fell and watched it get away from me
And I know every reason I was left behind
The easy part was knowing
The hardest part was saying it out loud
I let you down
Ashes to ashes
You broke down
And I picked up the pieces you left here
And now there's nothing left here
To remind me of you
It's all true
Far from the place I used to call my home
I celebrate
This is my holiday from you
Where every thought's a moment
And every moment finds a way to fade
A mistake
Ashes to ashes
You broke down
And I picked up the pieces you left here
And now there's nothing left here
To remind me
Ashes to ashes
You broke down
And you left me to pick up the pieces
And now there's nothing left here
To remind me of you
It's all true
I'm done with you
This darkened world it has become my being inside I dwell within it's
realm the one's in the once brighter place pass me by without a
glance alone I am without a single human touch only the demons
hunting me and I can no longer be kill me slowly and let me die
without death I have no more life living to me has no meaning I may
God beat me down with sticks and with stones
But you took me in, ugly as I was.
When I just drowned silent
You put bright lights everywhere
And now I don't feel the same.
I want to dust myself down and throw the weight,
To laugh at how I'm inside out
Because you put bright lights everywhere
And now I don't feel the same.
You watched over me,
A shell wrapped around me
It was the strangest most beautiful you could be.
Come back, Take your place,
Don't leave me in this space.
I am the strangest most beautiful I could be.
Don't need angels to show me truth or uncover these eyes.
Don't need teachers to point fingers because all I want is you.
Beautiful you are.
Beautiful to me.
Beautiful and you're mine.
You're way out of line,
but where was the line drawn last time,
We laughed last night, but today it's all so wrong
and we're all the same
so why would you cause me so much pain
well end this fight and pass over the blame
When the ashes clear away, when the clouds move from the sun,
don't be afraid dont be afraid, and don't turn away
when they dig up what you burried here,
when they find your dirty jewels
Don't turn away, don't turn away, and don't be afraid
Your cutting me down
Your cutting me down, your beating me sensless to the ground
regaining counciousness without a sound
I'm taking you out
removing the kill the lies the doubt
I'm taking your clothes, your shoes, your robe, your crown
When the ashes clear away, when the clouds move from the sun,
don't be afraid dont be afraid, and don't turn away
when they dig up what you burried here,
when they find your dirty jewels
Don't turn away, don't turn away, and don't be afraid
Did it reach down from the sky
did it push up from the ground
did it turn your life around
did it reach down from the sky
did it crawl up from the ground
Here I sit
Waiting for you with a cold cup of coffee
And a burnt cigarette
That has fallen like ashes
Slowly from me
I search myself alone
Here I sit
Waiting for you with a suitcase packed
And an eight by ten
That reminds me of ashes
It's grey and faded
I search myself alone
Cause there's always somebody
Who's out there waiting for someone to take them away
If I search long enough I might find that someone
Waiting to take me away:::..yeah but not today
Here I sit
Waiting for you the sun has gone down
On a perfect day
Oh I've waited for hours
Please send someone
Glittering on the skyline, the sun began to rise
Raging in its glory, illuminating the world
All I could see, was despair and bitterness
Well, what struck me this time was loneliness
Through all these years of agony and suffering
I've seen the beauty of Paradise, and horrors of Hell
But yesterday, oh, a most miserable and cold day
Fire and wrath took your souls away
All this pain bleeds from your last words
They went through my flesh like a burning arrow
Leaving no place to hide to my frozen heart
My blood gushes out and my tears run dry
Crying into a dark pool of water and blood
Unanswered questions appear from nowhere
Hearing the wind whispering sadness
How will I live without you by my side?
Condemned to wander in eternity
Shrouded by regret and remorse
Forever the prisoner of my pitiful fate
Death will be the ultimate price to pay
Sacred Angel please forgive me
Trap in your prison of flesh
Listening, watching the dazzling sun
Waiting for an answer that will never come
I should have sacrificed my life to save yours
But cowardice was my demise
How can I ever redeem myself?
I'm no Rasputin, you ain't no Rapunzel
I have willingly fallen, and you have cut your own hair
Thought we needed motion, at least until the war kicks in
I go out in the world with you the last night of the burning flare
Trains will follow trains under the dun, under the moon
And I do believe that all that I can do is croon
And I do believe that there was a morning that I saw your true love
burning
next to me
But now there's ashes, from exquisite eyelashes
So far away, past the border, past the turnstyle
And even I know, and I do believe, and I do believe that there was a morning
I saw your true love burning next to me
But now there's ashes, from exquisite eyelashes
So far away, past the border, past the turnstyle
Sometimes I wonder if it is true humility
For this humiliation
Walking in the twilight, walking in the crows of day
From this station of passion, I go
We'll erase what you've created
We'll take back the breath you stole
What you call civilization
Swiftly turned to dust
The ashes of your nations
Paint the sky
And as it all falls down...
From above - No answers
Useless civilization
Swiftly turned to dust
The ashes of your nations
Paint the sky
You have no purpose here
There is no law
We are what you most fear
reason-who needs it anyway
when feelings are the only things that count where nobody
knows where it can be found
indecision - gets you nowhere
changes are made, they dont come around
silence- gets you nowhere baby
who needs to hear when you dont make a sound
well there must be urges which you cant deny
( see through the veil of smoke
ashes tell you to go )
go and find the flames
(i know that you have cried)
but i know you?re gonna find a light
someday
someday
speak - the words that alleviate
the hurt thats almost choking you
speak - the words that illustrate
that the fire inside is burning anew
torch - light the darkest way
to the place where every word is true
burn - until the very day
And the burning of the embers
Slowly down inside
I will keep you warn this darkness
As the ashes die
I will call your soul in winter
I will keep you mine
I will call your soul and winter
As the ashes die
I will keep you broke and splintered
I will keep you tight
I will keep you cold and dark
Till the end of time
And the soul is slowly seeping
As the years go by
Will you keep me cold and darkened
Till the end of time
I will keep you safe from summer
I will be entwined
I will keep you cold and darkened
[Music by Claudio May 2001]
Try to forget what I did
Guilt beginning to settle in
Let's not pretend that it's alright
I could not stay to watch us fall apart
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth
Save us both from the heartache
Was it so hard to walk away?
You are innocence at it's best
I do not deserve what you offer
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth
Nothing but ashes (x2)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh) (x4)
Nothing but ashes
(Solo)
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now, now, now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth (x2)
From right here, I can see your future is bleak
You wanna charge into the game but it was usually free
Keep your high hope bound tight and glued to the weak
You alright when you quiet, but you will loose when you speak
Jaw blessed, fond of the progress
The way that I'm pursuing this perfection
You would think that I'm obsessed
I will not rest, till your heart it's in my palm
Protect you from the non sense, they put in the songs
I run on, all my ...track, records got me scooping up all the lost minds
They finish with
My girl pin it should we call it till it cover...
What I represent is truly limitless
2 sides to every story told,
don't know just ask Tray Barn and George Zimmerman
Double for I'm giving in,
Deliver this my destiny
I'm Manchild but you can call me Gregory
[Hook] x 2
Stand and deliver this, just hold your interest
Speak with the infinite, voice to move masses
Path walking this uphill is rigorous
Burn with the passion
And then back to ashes
This ember glows, see remember the flow
We walk tall with the few rollie willing to go
My ... cause it's official, now we live inside a militant post
It's ...to give it up attention much longer
Fist to the heavens and it becomes our motto
...with double on ...so they can escape if they wanna
So I warned them... eyes to the screen
When I rain down on ya
Flip those channels...
Wise to the residents, ...
That's the reason I'm the opposite of hazard
And I only got a limited time here to get it in
We all heard that death is a must, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
We all know that death is a must, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
We all heard that death is a must, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
We all know that death is a must, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
[Hook] x 2
Stnd and deliver this, just hold your interest
Speak with the infinite, voice to move masses
Path walking this uphill is rigorous
Burn with the passion
He shut up like a rose, the scar of my belly
How I wanted him to rise up with the clouds
How I asked for love, received the wounds on cheek,
the nights empty sleep,
hopeless words I can't keep
He searched just like a magnet, Oh the metal is me
How I needed him to draw it in, protect me from belief
How I pleaded then to end again, heal my rotting skin,
pleaded then, asked for sin,
something I can keep
Soul of my soul, do you feel me?
Touch the beating, heart of my heart
Flesh of my flesh
Mouth of my mouth
Soul of my soul, do you feel me?
Touch the beating, heart of my heart
He shuned me like disease, the feathers in my eyes
How I need his light to purify the darkness deep inside
How I asked for warmth, received snow and sleet,
the burns on my feet,
white and unsoiled sheets
He reached for all desire, kept his hands far from me
How my mind built high could rectify such pain and deceit
How the sorrow plunged, concrete and ashen weeps
The porous bed it reeks with unresolved peeks
Soul of my soul, do you feel me?
Touch the beating, heart of my heart
Flesh of my flesh
Mouth of my mouth
Soul of my soul, do you feel me?
Touch the beating, heart of my heart
And now I sleep on ladders
A day like this
Never to be seen
A raised fist
Right up your ass!
Burning leather
And bloody spikes
Wrath and thunder
Right up your ass
This is the day of revenge
This is the day of rock n' roll
Face the truth
We're here to stay
Within burning tunes
ASHES WILL BURN YOU DOWN
We show no mercy
We play it loud
Hard as hell
ASHES WILL BURN YOU DOWN
Don't try to stop us
We need no rights
This is our style
Rock n' roll to the bone
[Solo:] Play for us priest of the mountain king
This is the day of revenge
This is the day of rock n' roll
This is the day of revenge
This is the day of rock n' roll
Do you dare to face this, asshole?
Are you man enough for this?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I am the bringer pain
I taste the cremated flesh
call the heavens above
"strike mine enemies" bzzzzzz
feel the fury of fire
its firey furiousness
scorch the innocent
sear the flesh from bone!
see how they burn?
smoldering embers
see their eyes begin to melt?
blistering skin encases
boiling human flesh
feel the cosy, warm glow of humanities firey firey
fires
burn, i want to
burn, i need to
burn, i love it
vicious epiphany carrot
vigorous firey grating
the previous vocal flame
is senseless like my mind
lightning! "forking hell"
shards of splintered brain
penetrate my profile
with your burning stare
see how they burn?
smoldering embers
see their eyes begin to melt?
blistering skin encases
boiling human flesh
feel the cosy, warm glow of humanities firey firey
fires
burn, i want to
burn, i need to
burn, i love it
the earth is a black barren wasteland
I open my eyes, I feel no remorse
I am king of this land laid before
of charcoal and ashes and barbecued corpse
I stand filthy and naked and grinning
My eyes cry new tears from the sulphurous smoke
no life now remains in my kingdom
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Ooooooooo...
On that evening
No later than nine
You called out for me
And heard no reply
You found me under the willow tree
Cut me down and tried to catch me
But I fell into the river deep
Ain't nothing more to do
But just let things be
I know you want to scatter my ashes
I know you want to scatter them far and wide
Don't scatter my ashes
I want to walk by the seaside
My lonely body washed ashore
Red ring around my leg shows I can't take it no more
Don't ask no one my soul to keep
Ain't nothing more to do but just let things be
I know you want to scatter my ashes
I know you want to scatter them far and wide
Don't scatter my ashes
I want to walk by the seaside
And you might cover me with
Sand and empty rocks
That might mean if you must
She won't wake up words
That come to rest, for you are still breathing
You...
You might get second thoughts
And want to throw me to the sky
That's okay, people you're wrong
'Cause you know that what's left of me
Is already gone
Is already gone
Its already gone...
I know you want to scatter my ashes
I know you want to scatter them far and wite
Don't scatter my ashes
I want to walk by the seaside
Ashes like a veil of black have lifted to the sky
With the frightened face of death revealed
The last ones left alive find they've nothing now
Not even the vaguest memories
Of what they've all been fighting for
What they've to receive
Find another way they say, it's over
Nothing can make not a man out of so much less
His eager taste for victory
I'm short of impressed
Where would we-be standing now if never stood we here
Had we never been reborn we'd never disappear
Along with all the damages we've done through all these years
I wonder now
There's power in her smile
The light sneeks in her eyes
She doesn't even notice she's been laughing all the time
With ever word she mutters
Is a curse and then some more
I can see between
I can see between the words
Your not dirty
You havn't done anything wrong
Your not hurting everyone
Your just hunting
Hunting love down
There freedom when she's walking
To buy her cigarettes
All the troubles are slowing
She must be used to that
The day is gray and trampling
There's are ashes everywhere
The ashes of december
The ashes in her hair
Your not dirty
You havn't done anything wrong
Your not hurting everyone
Your just hunting
Hunting love down
All in All she wants to do is slip away
I said stay
Your not dirty
You havn't done anything wrong
Your not hurting everyone
Your just hunting
Hunting love down
The days gray and trampling
There's ashes everywhere
Ashes in her lipstick
Across the eerie waters
Misty covered glass I spied
A sad procession sneaking down
The dry and deathly trail
And as my telescopic eye
Focused on the marching line
It settled on the fallen crown
Now covered with a veil
The heavy weight of mourning
Drew each head to face the ground
Muscles tight on bearers arms
Each body cold and frail
And through the muslin mist
The beating drums the only sound
Twenty boats out in the bay
All ready to set sail
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
My bones soaked in the icy cold
And fixed me where I lay
Until each vessel left the shore
And made a line for me
There never was a breeze
The leaves were silent all that day
They say the sails were ghosts
That stole the wind to set them free
I lay transfixed
Felt nothing but the beating of my fear
As flames rose up and swallowed whole
The greatest of the fleet
The others circled round
And I heard chanting fill the air
The ashes, lifted high
Were falling back into the sea
Ashes take me back to earth
Water quench my human thirst
Ashes take me back to earth
A lot of things were not said
And others were left behind
The circle was closed too fast
A half cut line rests
Conflicts were not resolved
Delights were not divided
All that remains to me
Is your face under the darkness
To ashes, the light fades away
So that memories our heart will keep
Hours were hours
But seconds seemed to go by
Like a blink of an eye fades away
Mysteries that obscure my mind
This confusing spiral cannot explain
This confused spiral cannot explain what life is
Secrets... So far away...
At a damned night
He left me alone
The darkest face of life
Still walking around my soul
Nothing will be forgotten
Or pass as waves and wind
The pain that will remain
By my side forever
A shadow, too much rage
Cause you’re not here with me
A shadow, too much rage
Cause you’re not here with me always
Just silence around me
Your whisper in my dreams
Time didn’t matter for us
We forgot the days
Twenty years rust in the past
There are no words
[Words: John Brenner]
Lonely spirits hide behind my sight
They search the ruins of a dying mind
Dredging deeply for my will and courage
To face the future cleansing of my dreams
Piles of ashes sifting through my fingers
Wailing to the winds of remorse and regret
The only remnant of the Past and of tomorrow
A shriveled life, a withered destiny
Upon a pyre, the ruins of my vision
Are burned away, freeing them of sin
Who cares to resurrect the unremembered and unknown
When even the ashes are just a memory
Ashes fall from the crimson sky:
A time and a place for the elder gods to die.
Rise up, my friends of forgotten name.
This death has been promised,
This life shall be claimed.
“Would you pity me,
Ye who butchered be?
Punished for my sin,
Bleeding from within...
Now, my soul is dying.”
See the smoke of bodies burning,
Open your eyes!
See the ashes of the face
That you so despised.
We helped you to grow, we helped you to be;
But you cast us aside for the flames of iniquity.
Condemned of the flesh and of phantasmagoria,
We promise revenge for the fallen inamorata.
See the smoke of bodies burning,
Open your eyes!
Did you have no shred of pity
As you watched her die?
“I’m dying here.
I can’t escape this fear.
I will not survive,
And so I breathe one final
Word to those alive as I burn away.”
Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No love remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
I saw your face when
He waltzed in here
But those old embers
Haven't burned for years
The light that's shining
In my eyes
Is for the one that
I'm with tonight
Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No love remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
No I don't blame you
For having some doubts
But when he left me
That fire burned out
So don't be thinking
There's still a spark
'Cause he could never
Tear us apart
Oh ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No love remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
He's nothing but ashes
Have you ever heard ‘bout the people who burned
Somehow immediately down with no reason at all,
They didn't play with fire, they had no deathwish and it
happened in a few minutes, it destroyed them completely
Just like Dr. Bentley, when they found him there was no smoke
nor a spell but the ceiling was burned,
They found his right leg and the morning gown,
It was still intact but the doctor had gone
What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires
There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
Noone could explain,
Noone would believe it.
It's a phenomenon that's not often been seen,
Like an inner heat burns the body complete.
This is still a riddle that cuts us down to size
We are still quite helpless in our modern days.
What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires
There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
Noone could explain,
Noone would believe it.
There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
In this cdase it seems that our rules are not worth a dime.
No way to run and hide
The Wretched
Welcome, my friend
(Now) It's you and I
Do you sense the eye that watches you?
Can you feel her muted scream?
This is our very own horrid dream
Can you hear her hollow cry?
From the other side
You can't see her - you can't reach her
But you feel her watching you
Now she sings her lullaby
The sun has died
This is the voyage that never ends
A black light
The lost souls are craving
Clinging to their last glimpse of hope
The restless won't leave you alone
You cannot set them free
The blood flows
Your fear grows
Awaiting an accident
Veiled eyes
See right through your darkened mind
You cannot set them free
The song of demons plays on the wind
Can you hear the wretched's call?
Their shuffling feet
Your pounding heart
Now you know you're falling
Chanting words you do not catch
Their cries for help you never sensed
An organic mass of despair
This nightly mare
They cry your name, which is silence
They play their game, which is violence
Unsound.
