[Instrumental]

From our backyard we heard them shout
And ran like kids to the sea
crying faces were all around
I knew before I could see

JOIN US WE'RE LOOSENING THE ROPES AND
SAIL TO NEW SHORES OF SADNESS

In the silence of the night
we knew that they'd never come back
to the place where we still feel home
A story so silent and sad

Sometimes there is a voice in the wind
Listen and you will hear them sing

JOIN US WE'RE LOOSENING THE ROPES AND
SAIL TO NEW SHORES OF SADNESS

We'll break the waves and blind the eye of the storm
The sea will be our grave cause the price may be our life

Sometimes there is a voice in the wind
Listen and you will hear them sing

JOIN US WE'RE LOOSENING THE ROPES AND
SAIL TO NEW SHORES OF SADNESS

We'll break the waves and blind the eye of the storm
The sea will be our grave cause the price may be our life

Going under side by side
Persisting is what keeps us alive
Sinking deeper night by night
Just the misery is what now thrives

WHO TAKES CARE
CARE'S TO SPARE

WAIT FOR THE DAY WHEN WE'RE REACHING THE END OF THE WAY
ALONG WITH THE DECISIONS WE'VE MADE
LIKE THE SANDS BLOWN AWAY FROM THE TRAIL
BY THE WINDS OF VALE

Death is hanging noose by noose
Every step on our way to the light
But this is what we choose
And what awaits us may be just eternal night

WHO TAKES CARE
CARE'S TO SPARE

WAIT FOR THE DAY WHEN WE'RE REACHING THE END OF THE WAY
ALONG WITH THE DECISIONS WE'VE MADE
LIKE THE SANDS BLOWN AWAY FROM THE TRAIL
BY THE WINDS OF VALE

It is the mirror that looks at all the fake
It is the bed that sleeps while you're awake
Living in darkness though the sun shines in your face
Watching the time while the clock counts your last days

IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE BELIEVES
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE CAN LEAVE

It is the phone that is silent when you keep calling
It is the rain that stands still while you keep falling
Living in darkness though the sun shines in your face
Watching the time while the clock counts your last days

IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE BELIEVES
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE CAN LEAVE

....In the darkness, effacing the warmth
slightly embracing the harm

IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE BELIEVES
IS IT LOVE? WHEN A FAREWELL IS ALL SHE CAN LEAVE

....In the darkness, effacing the warmth
slightly embracing the harm
Oh, I wanna know
(Is it love?)

They don't mind - are these things surreal - just in their heads
And if they knew how madness feels would it let them rest
Insane - I'm just dying - the world's gone mad
Stain - unable to wash it away like the smell of a rat

I WAS THE ONE THAT KEPT FAITH WHEN IT DIED
I WAS THE ONE THAT FOUND TRUTH IN THE LIES
SMASH ME DOWN TO THE DIRT AND I'LL BRAY
FOR THERE'S ONE MORE STORY TO SELL ON MY HAWKER'S TRAY
ONE MORE TIME
REALITY LOST

And I don't mind - for there are things so real coming just out of our heads
And if I knew - how madness feels - with a smile on my face I'd lay to rest

I WAS THE ONE THAT KEPT FAITH WHEN IT DIED
I WAS THE ONE THAT FOUND TRUTH IN THE LIES
SMASH ME DOWN TO THE DIRT AND I'LL BRAY
FOR THERE'S ONE MORE STORY TO SELL ON MY HAWKER'S TRAY
ONE MORE TIME
REALITY LOST

Don't say we'd have seen it coming
Don't say we'd have faced the change
In the end we'll be brothers in anguish
In our blood dying face to face

I WAS THE ONE THAT KEPT FAITH WHEN IT DIED
I WAS THE ONE THAT FOUND TRUTH IN THE LIES
SMASH ME DOWN TO THE DIRT AND I'LL BRAY
FOR THERE'S ONE MORE STORY TO SELL ON MY HAWKER'S TRAY
ONE MORE TIME
REALITY LOST

These are my hidden feelings
This is myself anyway
This is me - The darkest being
I have discovered these days

AND I SHOULD DO WHAT THEY DO
CUT THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU

This is my back soul's river
This is my current out to sea
They make me be the unbeliever
This is their gift to me

AND I SHOULD DO WHAT THEY DO
CUT THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU

They are bringing me down
Smash me hard on the ground

AND YOU SHOULD DO LIKE THEY DO
CUT THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU

They surely'll get you down
'Till you die on the ground

[Instrumental]

There's something pretending
Keeps following our whole life
There are some things descending
Into the deepest abyss of our minds

Near to far and skin to scar
Rise and descend - Where life begins and ends

There are some ones defending
Keep fighting all their lives
There's something avenging
For things we don't even know this time

LIKE AN EVERLASTING SLIDE
TO THE DAY WE DIE
IT'S A RAINDROP WE CALL LIFE
DOWNWARD ALL THE TIME

There's something pretending
No face, just a hilarious disguise
There's nothing ascending
From the depths where we're all going to die

LIKE AN EVERLASTING SLIDE
TO THE DAY WE DIE
IT'S A RAINDROP WE CALL LIFE
DOWNWARD ALL THE TIME

So we cry it out
Smash it to the ground
This seems to be just like Adams fall
So we cry it out
Scream and shriek and shout
It makes no change to it after all

LIKE AN EVERLASTING SLIDE
TO THE DAY WE DIE
IT'S A RAINDROP WE CALL LIFE
DOWNWARD ALL THE TIME

What exciting slight around you
It all goes down the drain
There's no need to move it all
Until you feel the pain

This is the play of your ruin
All actors on their knees
Pay with your life, take a seat and
choose the end you please

You are still
Waiting for someone who could ease your pain
It's your hand that can break the chains

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE CHANGE IT WILL BRING
THE PASSION; THE WILL
NOT THE CROWN MAKES THE KING
SO RAISE YOUR THRONE IN THIS WORLD FULL OF LIES
ON THE GRAVES OF THE LEADERS
THE LORDS OF THE FLIES

Generations devastations
Firm belief in rules
Feeling free from domination
You're a bunch of fools

You are still
Waiting for someone who could ease your pain
It's your hand that can break the chains

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE CHANGE IT WILL BRING
THE PASSION; THE WILL
NOT THE CROWN MAKES THE KING
SO RAISE YOUR THRONE IN THIS WORLD FULL OF LIES
ON THE GRAVES OF THE LEADERS
THE LORDS OF THE FLIES

It is one of those that make you
carry the light inside your heart
Listen to it and if you do right
You'll hide it from the world outside
No escaping, I am breaking
Can't stand all the things they do
No awaking, I can't take it
Living this maddening nightmare so

You own the lore, own the word, own the charge
You walk this way but one day it'll be away

IF THIS IS FOR REAL; MY KIN - MY KIND
I WISH I WAS BORN DUMB; DEAF AND BLIND
KICKDOWN ON A ROAD TO NOWHERE
IF THERE'S PARADISE I WILL WAIT THERE

And when you think it's on a safe place
There will be one who sees it though
Rips it right out - Out of your chest
Takes it to where no-one knows so

You own the lore, own the word, own the charge
You walk this way but one day it'll be away

IF THIS IS FOR REAL; MY KIN - MY KIND
I WISH I WAS BORN DUMB; DEAF AND BLIND
KICKDOWN ON A ROAD TO NOWHERE
IF THERE'S PARADISE I WILL WAIT THERE

It is my world you see outside
It is my day - It is my night
It is the odour of delight

It is the face inside the pond
It is the monster we've all become
It is the things still undone
What I'm recalling

It is the ill - It is the lure
It is the pain I knew for sure
It is the life I didn't want to lead
What I'm recalling

It is the news on TV
It is the picture hurting me
It is the truth - we want to flee
What I'm recalling

It is the duty we all discharge
It is the burden that is too large
It is the empty words we adore
What I'm recalling

It is the puppets guiding us
It is the lies which we trust
It is the fate we've never had
What I'm recalling

He called himself a friend of mine
All he did was digging in the dirt
He called himself a friend all the time
I didn't believe in any word

ALL OF THE LIES AND THE SPITE YOU BELIEVE IN
POISONS YOUR MIND MAKES YOU BLIND FOR THE TRUE RELIEF

He called himself a man of the mind
All he did was waste all of our time
Truly he was the blindest of the blind
Another sample of a growing kind

ALL OF THE LIES AND THE SPITE YOU BELIEVE IN
POISONS YOUR MIND MAKES YOU BLIND FOR THE TRUE RELIEF

And as he fell he lordly closes his eyes
As always waiting for the one
Some helping hand - a friend of his lies
But this time there was another outcome
When he got up on his knees again
Crying for help like a little child
He raised his head and took around
Completely alone but still running wild

ALL OF THE LIES AND THE SPITE YOU BELIEVE IN
POISONS YOUR MIND MAKES YOU BLIND FOR THE TRUE RELIEF

A CANDLE LIGHTS MY WAY BACK HOME
BACK THROUGH ALL THE TIMES AND THE PLACES I HAVE ROAMED
THE LIGHT THAT SHINES KILLS THE SHADOWS OF THE PAST
THE MISFORTUNES I AM LEAVING YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE LAST

A change is coming, I promise
It has taken a while to prepare for all this
Well, I'm not afraid of what the future holds
Cause it surely leads me out of my own cold

A CANDLE LIGHTS MY WAY BACK HOME
BACK THROUGH ALL THE TIMES AND THE PLACES I HAVE ROAMED
THE LIGHT THAT SHINES KILLS THE SHADOWS OF THE PAST
THE MISFORTUNES I AM LEAVING YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE LAST

I know it's hard to understand though
I've made up my mind and it's time for me to go
I thank you for the time we've had
As you read these lines I'm already dead

A CANDLE LIGHTS MY WAY BACK HOME
BACK THROUGH ALL THE TIMES AND THE PLACES I HAVE ROAMED
THE LIGHT THAT SHINES KILLS THE SHADOWS OF THE PAST
THE MISFORTUNES I AM LEAVING YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE LAST
