[Instrumental]

Quiet peaceful scene of chaos
A drifter's crying hopeful tears
Is this the place where I can rest?
And try to clear my dark clouded mind
(clouded mind)
What used to be an empty soul
In need of shelter from the cold
Has found serenity, and from day one he was told...

Unconditional love remains our burning flame
Hope our guiding light
And whenever you're breaking
Or if you feel misunderstood
We'll stand together and fight
Won't you read the sign boy!

No matter where you're from
This is your home
We're tearing down all the walls brother
It doesn't matter how far you've gone
Welcome to Mercy Falls
Where nobody's leaving

Heavy hearts from rain sometimes
But it's alright cause bear in mind
In the eye of Ike all safe and sound
Soon the sun will shine
Well... don't you stay... a broken man
Spread the word...enlighten them
Go find yourself in the crowd
We all have faith in you

Unconditional love remains our burning flame
Hope our guiding light
And whenever you're breaking
Or if you feel misunderstood
We'll stand together and fight
Won't you read the sign boy!

No matter where you're from
This is your home
We're tearing down all the walls brother
It doesn't matter how far you've gone
Welcome to Mercy Falls
A chance to find inner peace

No matter where you're from
This is your home
We're tearing down all the walls
Brother, stay here 'til your dying day
We invite you to Mercy Falls
Where the light keeps changing

Among us all who live inside the town's eyes
Oh - tell me what's the catch?
We harbor dark in the light...
I can see young ones in the park
With smiles they're playing
(high on dreams)
I need to feel real - just like that
How good you are!
We live in paradise...

The park lies by the high-rise
Casting shadows cold and dark
A lonely face in the window
Seeks to cloud their dreams
She envies the light of his ways

How can I stand in peace and watch as
The will to smile has gone
How can it be?
Merges as darkness
Will follow and enter the light
Or is it just the way
The human nature fails to keep up high
And lets the shadow break the un breakable

Everyone tells you:
'bout this place where sun shines
Where all the children play
Oh - how it pleases my heart
Everyone there knows not to go inside
The tall house
(that children fear)
Inside a darkened mind
Whose lust for life has left for paradise

Watching every single daybreak without hope
Looking back in time
To find something real
To hold close to her heart
There are places in her memory
She just cannot reach
Tears from a lady
Hit the ground as she is crying out his name

She's taking her own life
Breath by breath prepares for death
All alone in the world
She's trapped without her dreams
Imagine the pain she must feel

How can I stand in peace and watch as
The will to smile has gone
How can it be?
Merges as darkness
Will follow and enter the light
Or is it just the way
The human nature fails to keep up high
And lets the shadow break the un breakable

What's going on inside of you...
Still wondering
If my voice is reaching through to you...
First day of school today
And I was late
Cause of the glass
My mamas bed
I think she's missing you

Miss Angel told us
Write some lines
About your families
I finish first...
I turned in blank...

Don't want to play
Another day without you
Oh - daddy
Open up your tired eyes
Want you to watch my games
And say you're proud of me
Want you to do what ever fathers do...

Today my best friend Tim and me
Stole apples from the Millhouse tree
Please don't tell...
I know you won't tell

If she finds out that I've been bad
She gets so sad and when she does
The muddy water helps her smile...
A while

But I won't cry
No I won't
I'll be strong, goodnight dad
I will turn the radio on

Great fun!
Climb up way higher than the sun!
The ripe ones so far out but
If you fall... I will call you a looser
On drop of blood brother
I'll mix with yours!

Poor child! Clean yourself
Hurry off to your room, now go
The wrong I've done
I guess I'll never know!

A day away from the playground
Far from every dream
This ain't the life of a hero...
Wrong or right, in the air tonight
Come daylight!

We'll sneak out...
Careful don't wake my mother up
I'll be back before daybreak cause
"Desperate times
call for desperate measures!"
Exicing adventures now lies ahead

Let's go! Inside I hear the warnings
Please don't let me down
It's so dangerous on the darker side of town

So stay away from the playground
Far from broken dreams
Behind the blinds in that window
I am right! Now turn off the light and
Sleep! Goodnight!

I've been dreaming forever and ever
Take may hand let's go another...
Place where we can lose ourselves in games
And we don't have to be...

One day away from the playground
Far from every dream
This ain't the life of a hero
Wrong or right, in the air tonight
Come daylight!

I've been wasting many years
On the side of your bed
Watching her take care of junior
This ain't the life I wished for
To see my son living his life an empty shell
While I am living hell

My back hurts
And ruins my sleep
The man next door
Plays evil music he's such a creep

The mask I carry on the outside
Prevents the inside from shining through
The pain of missing you...

Now...
One last try
No I won't let my son die
Heaven tends to help
[The] believing ones
Let us hope for light
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Spare us a day of sorrow and decay

Wasted life I'm tired
Breathe life in to mine, Father
My spirit caught in this hell
The blood in my veins
Oh - wanna escape me
Desperation come
Wanting me to fall, Father...

The weight of my words denied
Despise me and loath my face
Will you force another year for us in paradise?
Another tear in "paradise"...

They say the world is an open road
"Just let go and you will see"

I won't care anyway
Turn the lights
I will never be free again
Turn away baby
Forever I am gone

"Face all, climb up higher"
I smell their little lies, Father
You cannot turn me around,
My life and my ways
Oh - tell me the white lie
Vindication
For never wanting
To be a part of...

... a world made of
Empty words
No chance for the
Honest man
I will feast on all
Your tears
Above your paradise
A lonely face will terrorize...

So tell the world of this horrible dame
And how she let go of her life

I won't care anyway
Turn the lights
I will never be free again
Turn away baby
Forever I am gone
I won't care anyway
Turn the lights
I will never be free again
Turn away baby
Forever I am gone

I have read the signs and the warnings
I'm telling you our destiny is here, destination nowhere
Pain will follow (it will follow) destination known
Mercy Falls is in its way

We need to run for cover what will you do?

Come! We must unite to save our town
Raise a shelter! Where?
Well, look at your way, did you find
Did you find an opening here?
Look everywhere, wrap their arms around your neck
Shelter them!

Won't let you die my love
My heart is pumping harder every beat
Don't worry - I will keep you safe and warm

So stand!
The storm is on the way, united we all stay
Every able man must fall in line
It's true... - every man!

Come - we all must go down to the square
Something big is up!
I've realized that the Evening Post was right!
The storm is coming, oh - God save our town
- Just like that everyone in the town was there
You better believe my words
When I say that the men were in fear
And every woman and child

And we will dry your tears
My arms will carry you
Regardless of what's coming next
We will escape the pain

So stand!
The storm is on the way, united we all stay
Every able man must fall in line
It's true... - every man!

Hear! The steps of fate grow clear
The town will stand its ground
Hold tight and make your plight - and stand!

The storm is on the way, united we all stay
Every single able man has fallen in line to prepare...
- Yes every man

I think about love and the things that I've done...
A heart open wide and I stabbed a knife
How could I feel, the way that I felt?
I'd swear it was love and was heaven sent

You set me free, never cared for me...
I needed love, a touch from your hand
I need to feel you care

Then there he was, made me feel whole inside...
This burden of guilt tears me up
You must believe I tried

Is everyone here?
There is no need to feel any fear
We're handing our rations
Food and water, clothing, shelter...

- Bring all those left to me!
- Please understand in this cold wind
that blows that it's heavy

That lazy boy can help
(there's no way you could make it through...)
I will not be patronized by you!
But my back may hurt so OK - bring it away!

I don't want to stray
Make sure you stay in front of me!
(the rascal will steal...)
Sheer desperation in her voice
Let the music play!
Let it go all the way...

Join me - watching two souls seek for fire,
In a world beyond the one we know
Yin and yang, black and white
The colors fading
We're gonna break the silence
The fort, for the fire...

As they were walking somehow
They got into talking
Brings her own mind back to times
When fire burned inside

- What could he offer me?
Don't understand it
It's crazy, this old primadonna
But the face in my mind is it her?
Can't shake these feelings within me

- We are close to home now any way
Thanks for the help, here's a dime
- Now off you go!

Now I gotta run
But something calls me back again
(something draws me near)
Sheer desperation in my mind
Need to find out why
Have to get back again

Join me - watching two souls seek for fire,
In a world beyond the one we know
Yin and yang, black and white
The colors fading
We're gonna break the silence
The fort, for the fire...

Beyond true common sense
A silhouette of all they know
A riddle on the kitchen table
Alone yet in the best of company
This game is not for everyone
Like hide and seek but not as fun
Two hearts in the search for
What? God only knows...
Will it finally show?

So confusing... Am I insane?
This old widow plays tricks with my brain
I can feel her pain, running through my veins
A feeling I cannot explain...

I wanna know about the fire
And every time I look at her
I see myself somehow
In my heart a strong desire
What's really going on?
I wanna know!

Behind the polished barrier
The pending storm draws near
Although it's an inferno
You can not step back for your fears
Hurry son I need to rest
finish the puzzle you do it best
I'll do what I can
But I am telling you
It can't be done without you!

So confusing is this for real?
Not a clue of what it is I feel
I can sense the joy
From this little boy
The hole in my soul starts to heal

I wanna know about the fire
And every time I look at her
I see myself somehow
In my heart a strong desire
What's really going on?
I wanna know!

I wonder... is my blood still mine
Can't see if this life's still mine
I fear I'm going under, I don't know
If my soul's still mine, I wanna know
Just got to know
The closure is near...

I wanna know about the fire
And every time I look at her
I see myself somehow
In my heart a strong desire
What's really going on?
I wanna know!

(That's the last piece...)

Falling forsaken trough the dark
Tic-tock time is ticking backwards
Can't deny
Watching a man spawned from a kiss
Settle a coin toss for this odd loss

It's alright now they cannot hold me down
Blinded eyes open before us
- I just don't know why
That the two were gone forever in time
Open up my mind tonight
Open up my eyes

When destiny calls I'm a man
Who will rise above the fire
Paradise - waits forever
I won't apologize - from the shadows
I rise to her warm embrace

When love hurts...
I will always find a way to carry you
Since we have the truth

Bothering visions I can see
Left all alone inside this house
Of fear and night
Crying in the hallway on my knees...
Battling a stranger who will change her

I'm alright now but I can't figure out
The things I am feeling inside me

- I just had to cry
And the love survived
Through oceans of time
Not one of us will leave tonight
But only one will stay

When destiny calls I'm a man
Who will rise above the fire
In her eyes - destiny calls
I went beyond all lies - from the shadows
I rise to her loving face

Is there someone there I feel so scared
Playtime's over now
I open the door and sit by the age-old mirror

Raise my head and stare into
broken eyes of another

I have found myself
locked in the both of them
Hear me now,
I'm throwing my bonds away!
Throwing all my bonds away!

Don't want you to go, is there no other way?
I'll cherish this last kiss goodbye
I will care for all you leave behind
We won't let you go alone
But we have made a tragic decision,
because your wounds won't heal
It's the final solution

[Chorus:]
When every day hurts
And tears keep on falling, we're letting you go
The shadows are calling
One last goodbye
We're all here beside you
Your soul will fade like a rose in the dark, but your memory remains

Night after night, living a dream
Finally feeling my blood again
The notes in that song
Kept my heart beating strong all the way
I can see clearly now
I'm tired of constantly sleeping
I will open my eyes again
So ready to live now

[Chorus]

[Doctor:] We have done everything to the human possible, but after all this time.

[Wife:] Are you sure? How can you be sure? You said that the surgery will..

[Doctor:]
Yes, I have hoped so.
But this condition is severe enough to itself, and in a coma case patient, he simply can't fight it off, and frankly his brain hasn't been acting for a long time.
The bone marrow from your son was our last chance to break the coma.
And I have no any idea why his body rejected the transplant.
It should have worked, but it didn't.
But, anastress this, the final decision will be yours, and yours alone.

[Son:] Mommy, will Daddy rest now?

[Wife:] Yes honey, Daddy has to sleep now.... [to the doctor]) Do it.

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

Don't you be your enemy
Set your heart and spirit free
Hard to see behind a wall of darkness
Let your open eyes for the first time
search and find the light
Hold on tight and never let go - don't let go

'Cause when time runs out
All your fears will be in vain
Love the ocean
The sun and the rain may dry out

So much more than meets the eye
Live your life until you die
Why waste one more day

Have the child's open minded spirit
Watching with blue eyes
Ready to take on the world
'Cause in time fate calls out to us:
Take your place in the black parade

You believe that you're free
Dance the devil's waltz and see...
All that evil needs to win,
Is for the good to do nothing
If we just sit idly by
The dark will rule the light
Being isn't living, brother
So don't let go...

'Cause when time runs out
All your fears will be in vain
Love the ocean
The sun and the rain may dry out

So much more than meets the eye
Live your life until you die
Don't you waste one more day in your life
Not one more day!

Have the child's open minded spirit
Watching with blue eyes
Ready to take on the world
'Cause in time fate calls out to us:
Take your place in the black parade
