01. Broken

I was raised from a broken seed,
I grew up to be an unwanted weed.
Ever faster the time exceeds me, little harder again to remember...you.

Held a torch for you, when lightning struck me, once again,
Hope I died for the last time.
Only one I have a thing greater than you, little light on the sky every night.

Morning dew on the field, where I met you.
I was frozen a year, couldn't get through.
Got a sign, not a scar, on my shoulder,
I am not quite the man you take me for...

Fell in love with the weakness within me.
Tried to force me the Ring and own me.
Guess you found what you'd think would oblige me,
Little version of me to consume you...
I'd give my everything to you, follow you through
The garden of oblivion.
If only I could tell you everything,
The little things you'll never dare to ask me...

Do you really know me? I might be a God.
Show me that you care and have a cry.
How do you see me?... as the one?
Can you see my blood when I'm bleeding.
How can you love this exile, and how could I desire you.
When my pain is my pain and yours is too...

On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child.
Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear...

Seven lifes of a man, passed before me.
Seven graves, one for every love I've had.
Only once I have broken my so called heart.
Only one made me see why they cry.

Will I learn how to be one of you someday?
Will I still feel the eyes that behold me.
Will I hear what you think, when you see me?
Will it tear me apart if you feel for me...

I 'd give my everything to you, follow you through the garden of oblivion.
If only I could tell you everything,
The little things you'll never dare to ask me...

Do you really know me? I might be a God.
Show me that you care and have a cry.
How do you see me?... as the one?
Can you see my blood when I'm bleeding.
How can you love this exile, and how could I desire you.
When my pain is my pain and your is too...

On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child.
Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear...

Little broken , always been, a part of you belongs to me.
You were never mine to love, but this all has made it easy for me...

Burning feathers, not an angel, Heaven's closed , Hell's sold out.
So I walk on the earth, behind the curtains, hidden from everyone,
until I find a new life to ruin again

On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child.
Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear...

On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child.
Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear...

03. Dream Thieves

Welcome, come in, yes this is me
I gave once too much and now
I can't get rid of thee
I can't be subtle, I can't be kind
Why should I be there for you
Fuck off and get a life!!

Read a book unwritten,
Kill the poet's dream unhidden
I wonder did I love too much, cross the final line?
Rip my life and spread the news
Cut my wings and make me choose
I leave the fuckin' sword in the rock
Feel hurt? Why should I give a damn?

I know I'm easy target,
I'm sold on black market
How would you feel if I stole what you need?
I give everything to you, what will you do?

What makes you think you won't burn in Hell?
You see a life but not mine
Read me a line from your torture guide
Download new lies on your scythe

This is my vision, this is one man's decision
Wise thinking from a fool
For twisted minds I'm a fool
I could be independent, but I can take the heat
Variety of thieves make my illusions obsolete

I know I'm easy target,
I'm sold on black market
How would you feel if I stole what you need?
I give everything to you, what will you do?

What makes you think you won't burn in Hell?
You see a life but not mine
Read me a line from your torture guide
Download new lies on your scythe

What makes you think my words burn in hell?
I have a life, read me a line
Your diary lies...please get a life

..burn in Hell
You see a life but not mine
Read me a line from your torture guide
Download new lies on your scythe

What makes you think...
What makes you think you won't burn in Hell?
You see a life but not mine
Read me a line from your torture giude
Download new lies on your scythe

What makes you think,
Won't burn in Hell?
You see a life,
Read me a line,
Your torture guide,
Download new lies

04. The Gun

Back then it was only fun, something we'd always done
Smash it up, and then you run, all that without a gun
Bu something came up one day, some bills you couldn't pay
And you got carried away, oh so far away

They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya
They make your Father singing "Hallelujah"
I wanna help ya, so let me help ya
I gotta ask you, buddy,
Where did you find the gun?
:
I ask everybody have they seen ya
You tell 'em you're fine and they believe ya
Gimme a call & I see through ya
You wasted your life, where did you find the gun?

Holy Man's only son, your mother on ironlung
No money from anyone, but now you've got the gun
Stick up on 2nd Street, I heard you running feet
Lay down, get a seat and beg them for mercy

They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya
They make your Father singing "Hallelujah"
I wanna help ya, so let me help ya
I gotta ask you, buddy, where did you find the gun?

I ask everybody have they seen ya
You tell 'em you're fine and they believe ya
Gimme a call & I see through ya
You wasted your life, where did you find the gun?

By an accident you find yourself
>From the slammer with too much friends
You shot an officer, you shot him down
Now your young life is gone
You're older than you are, you're gone
Because you had the gun

I ask everybody have they seen ya
You tell 'em you're fine and they believe ya
Gimme a call & I see through ya
You wasted your life, where did you find the gun?

Try to make you pay & they will find ya
You try to hide away but they have seen ya
Rest while you can, believe me now
You gotta run for your life
Where did you find the gun?

Where did you find the gun?
Find the gun?
