Crime is done, I'm alone in the night
There's no one to save and there's no one to fight
Now you're gone and I'm just looking around
Chasin' the shadows and traces in the sky, on the ground

I pray for a miracle
Father, don't take him away
Rise up for a miracle
Save him or don't let me stay

Such a shame now you're out of my reach
And it hurts, I don't know should I curse, should I preach?
Play the game - put a gun to your head
Smile - give me a shot - pull the trigger - you're dead

Goin' down, you're goin' down all the way
Down to the needle park
Goin' down, you're goin' down like a little child
Lost in the dark

Last, last goodbye - you'll take yours and I'll take mine
Dane around the candle like a butterfly
Can you tell me why?
Last, last goodbye - bitter as a silent cry
Blowin' out the chance to do a second try
Just another try

Day by day crossin' oceans of pain
God I wish I could stop this old runaway train
Far away like a shadow - a ghost
Now the magic is gone and the spirit is lost

Goin' down, you're goin' down all the way
Down to the needle park
Goin' down, you're goin' down like a little child
Lost in the dark

Last, last goodbye - you'll take yours and I'll take mine
Dane around the candle like a butterfly
Can you tell me why?
Last, last goodbye - bitter as a silent cry
Blowin' out the chance to do a second try
Just another try

Future's comin' from the past
Who's first and who's last

Fire's risin' off the ground
Fear's the king, Entire town
Lookin' up across the sky
Which one's turn to die
All are one and worlds apart
Undertaker's working hard
You'll remember the loss of fate
December '48

Devil's mark is on your face
Black Death's all around the place
Rotten bodies is were it's at
Friends are gone and rats get fat
Cross on fire fights the night
Who will ever see the light
Crowd in front of heaven's gate
December '48

I was raised in a faraway land
Tryin' to be number one
Dad used to tell me - "Whatever you do
never let go 'till you're done"

I was fighting as anyone
I was twisted around
I was broke just as anyone
On the way - way down

Never ever settle for less
Raise your hand it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs a crown when your head's on the ground
Let me out I'm just makin' a mess

Chip on my shoulder and look on my face
Changin' my life on the fly
Too late to make it and too late to stop
Too late to figure out why

I can make you as anyone
I can twist you around
I can break you as anyone
on the way - way down

Never ever settle for less
Raise your hand it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs a crown when your head's on the ground
Let me out I'm just makin' a mess

The wind of sadness can shade the heart of gold
I'm gonna leave it all behind
I'm prayin' for a break - if I could face the world
Without sadness on my mind

Never ever settle for less
Raise your hand it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs a crown when your head's on the ground
Let me out I'm just makin' a mess

In the misty morning after the darkest night
I feel the heat, I do, and I remember
Promises are broken now when you're gone
Don't turn me down
I'm lost and I surrender

Give me just a sign
Help to cross the line
We'll turn back time and start again

Far away - I can hear you're callin'
Far away - callin' up my name
Far away - and the tears are fallin'
Far away - no one is to blame

Some feelings won't come easy,
you have to hit them hard
You've burned the bridge and
I fell in a sea of sorrow
Can you hear my prayer,
just bring back yesterday
I feel the pain, it makes me hate tomorrow

Take me for a while
Just to make me smile
I wish I'll never ever cry again

Far away - I can hear you're callin'
Far away - callin' up my name
Far away - and the tears are fallin'
Far away - no one is to blame

Switch blade dance
And your friend goes down
I'm gonna hit you once and you'll kiss the ground
It's a sweet romance
No good and clown
Boy listen there's a new kid comin' and he's gonna
rock this town - he's gonna rock it

I see the writing on the wall
No one's to blame, nobody's fault

Step by step - I got lost and never found
Step by step - can't find my way aorund
Step by step - take break, don't you put me down
Step by step - hands down - I'm busted to the ground

Kids gettin' tough
It's like a civil war, a proper war
You better keep your ass behind that solid door
Looks like it's never enough
Somebody tell me why and what we're fighting for

I'm standin' back against the wall
Which one of us is gonna fall

Step by step - I got lost and never found
Step by step - can't find my way aorund
Step by step - take break, don't you put me down
Step by step - hands down - I'm busted to the ground

[Instrumental]

They have promised you the world
And left you on your own
Now all your life is build on fear
Lies and hearts of stone

And now I realize
The promises were lies
I'm walkin' endless miles
I can't believe my eyes

Are you fightin' to survive?
It's a lousy way to live
A wish to make it through the night
And nothing else to give

And now I realize
The promises were lies
I'm walkin' endless miles
I can't believe my eyes

Stay down - low down
Nobody cares if you're still hangin' around
Stay down - low down
Who will you run to and who will you pray to
When you're down on the ground

Who will help you when you fall
Who will pull you up
When you're prayin' for revenge
Who'll make you stop

Stay down - low down
Nobody cares if you're still hangin' around
Stay down - low down
Who will you run to and who will you pray to
When you're down on the ground

And now I realize
The promises were lies
I'm walkin' endless miles
I can't believe my eyes

Give it up just let it flow
Killer's runnin' TV-show
Razor blade in action - everything's "live"
Scandal makes a paper hot
You may like it, you may not
Marrige, rape, divorce, somebody's butchered wife

Empire rise, they're built on lies
In the childrens eyes, I'll never

Give it up, never give it up

Little kid some place abroad
Shot dead by the terror squad
Only one? Just enough to ring the bell
TV-preacher'll love to tell you
Pay a dime and God's for sale
Don't get scared it's just another day in hell

Empire's turn - they're built to burn
We'll never learn - I'll never

Give it up, never give it up

Time, how long it's gonna last?
I'm livin' in the past and runnin' out of time

I keep runnin' 'round in circles
I keep walkin' in the dark
I keep tryin' to wash away the devil's mark

I have my reasons to remember
I have my reasons to forget
I have my reasons to eject a safety net

'Coz we'll all fall down on the cold, cold ground
Don't you turn around - who's crime?

Time - I'm runnin' out of
Time - I've wasted all my
Time - I'm gonna need some
I'm runnin' out of time

I'm gonna finish off confusions
I'm gonna leave it all for good
I'm gonna quit bein' left misunderstood

I'm gettin' rid of my illusions
I'm gettin' tired of the crowd
I'm gettin' out, I'm checkin' out, I'm gettin' out

'Coz we'll all fall down on the cold, cold ground
Don't you turn around - who's crime?

Time - I'm runnin' out of
Time - I've wasted all my
Time - I'm gonna need some
I'm runnin' out of time
