He worries no more than he
Necessarily needs to fill his void As big as space never ending thrill He meets his will by choosing hate Why choosing? Need us to smile too? Alright Struggling to prevail Foretaste The aftermath Which will be black As black as waste We'll throw in an extra dance For just a little over 5 pence Need us to smile too? You'll turn our limo into a hearse Weighing just enough to run it over your curse Need us to smile too? You lie, you lie, you lie 02. Even The Spirits Are Afraid Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
You think you were earning
Burning the church of your god You were yearning Learning the birth of your dirt Did you think you earned it Burning your god That you thought messed up your life? You spill red On my cloudy carpet You think you were earning Burning the church of your god You were yearning Learning the birth of your dirt Did you think you earned it Burning your god That you thought messed up your life? You spill red On my cloudy carpet Your skin turns dust On my cloudy carpet You think You were earning Burning Your skin turns dust No more you were yearning Burning Burning Your skin turns dust Your skin turns to dust When holding it close to the sun And it burns the skin from you your precious sun It burns the skin It burns the skin It burns the skin 03. Broken Glass Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Strange vibe
circles round Tries to comfort buzzing sounds Form an arrow point at us We the target are the one Place your bet on the best The fastest horse you can find Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don't fall down Breathe the air trough the water Form an arrow point at us We the target are the center Find the key lock the door Close your eyes for encore Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don't you fall down Breathe the air trough the water Find your peace turn inside You the target you the center Find the key lock the door Close your eyes for encore Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don't you fall down Breathe the air trough the water 04. You Learn About It Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Now that we're through
the hell with you We dont mind We just give it a sigh We hardly knew what you were capable of doing But why don't you give it a try Oh, you learn about it Oh, you harvest [untill you can make no more] All that's eating inside All that's eating inside We hardly knew what you were capable of doing But why don't you give it a try Oh, you learn about it Oh, you harvest [untill you can make no more] All that's eating inside All that's eating inside Can't take no more.. Oh, you learn about it Oh, you harvest [untill you can make no more] All that's eating inside All that's eating inside Can't take no more... 05. Souvenirs Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Jump in heat
Plunge to your truth Agree with your youth Consider defeat Part and part And separate We will Brand new paths In ways to soothe Never disagree with your youth Part of your heart Will separate It will The gift of your life All what was concealed No skin-deep a dive Your childhood revealed You jump in heat Plunge to your start Don't underestimate You're own point of view Don't part your art Or hesitate Your will The gift of your life All what was concealed No skin-deep a dive Your childhood revealed You peel all the layers of forever You start the beginning of the end Breathing is bridging the gap Between black and light And now you feel alive! And now you learn to dive you know! Breathing is bridging the gap Between black and light 06. We Just Stopped Breathing Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Zlaya Hadzich
Lying - down on
Sidewalk - lying Running - tears down His ears - lying Lying - brought us fear Where do we go from here? One day - sixteen Woke up - sixty Gasping - hurry Hurry Where do we go from here? 07. Monsters Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Zlaya Hadzich
All you need
All you need All you need Is all is now All you need All you need All you need Is not what you're getting All you live all you give All you live Fits in a teardrop If you come closer I'll show you how it feels All you need All you need All you need Is all is now All you live all you give All you live Fits in a teardrop Give what's worth remembering Give what's worth dying Give it all Oh, back for more You just give it all Oh, back for more If you come closer I'll show you how it feels High is high Low is low Love is gone The best ones are the first to bury If you come closer I'll show you how it feels High is high Low is low Love is gone 08. Golden Grounds Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
As the sand
spreads wide open and the glow of the sun pearls the skin All hope is craving fluids and the yearning to where we've been Golden grounds so absorbing When the heat of the sun boils the skin We have to stand the test of nature to return to where we've been Hold on my saviour Keep my heart in holy dimensions Drag me on your back for one more day One more day One more day You give You learn You live You learn I guess what ever you may find It's all right to eat a piece of your mind 09. Jelena Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
My friend
She tipped over Out of childhood into sadness She's always shining But nevertheless Her beautiful heart is drowned in grief Sugar horse, lives inside Like a friend In need Far and wide she'll gaze Upon the flowers bloom Jaded, her mind in a daze From the medicine gloom They leave her with her friend A force of nature filled with strength Sugar horse, lives inside Like a friend In need 10. A Life All Mine Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen, Trickster G.
Razor sharp I cut
The bull from my life Too blunt your knife To slay this dreamer We might be dogs astray No running line will hold us So rather kick and kill me I'll be butchered all the same No words are spoken But the world is broken 'Cause I want something Something all wrong done A life instead of mere living Folding crumbling withering oh hell What difference when working the way The crown of my work Is what I shall gain At the end of my days Daylight awake to a puppet world No strings attach to this body of mine Folding crumbling withering oh well The punished pushed along the line All my actions, all my moves A life all mine to lose The crown of my work A life all mine to lose A life all mine Is what I choose At the end of my days |
