I'm letting go
One thing is for certain I'm treading paths I've walked before I've reconsidered and I'm contemplating letting go I watched resentment steal into your Face like a thief (a thief) And the more you pull the more I push you away from me And I'm letting go I'm trying You're beautiful she said to me Then why do I feel so ugly? The freak inside (freak inside) I still believe (still believe) It must go more than skin deep Domination. Segregation. Infiltration. This life is mine and I'll be dead before you take it I try to fly but an invisible blade cuts me I hear that sound just before I hit the ground You're beautiful she said to me Then why do I feel so ugly? The freak inside (freak inside) I still believe (still believe) It must go more than skin deep You're beautiful she said to me Then why do I feel so ugly? I know it's hard I admit I'm scared this just how it has to be (has to be) The hurt will fade your heart remade Eventually we'll regret these days You're no stranger but you're strange to me (these days) Now when loneliness won't leave you alone (these days) You're beautiful she said to me Then why do I feel so ugly? You're beautiful she said to me Then why do I feel so ugly? The freak inside (freak inside) I still believe (still believe) It must go more than skin deep Skin deep Skin deep Skin deep My dead sense can't tell right from wrong That's why my words only inflicted pain on you I've picked the lock of a door I never wanted to go through I'm turning back I'm letting go 02. Revolution, Baby
Get the fuck up and do something
Inspire the crowd To set it off and make a difference Lock and load And then I tattoo on my skin the names and faces I have seen. So when I die there'll be memories left of my life. Have you ever thought that Maybe there's nothing wrong with you And it's the world that's dirty, scared and lonely Baby, I'm gonna show you what to do You have to shock the system revolution Always count on getting nothing When you are on your own But when we walk these streets together They are paved with gold And so I take the ink again and add your legend To my list 'cause when I die I want you to be on me With this energy take the system down Maybe there's nothing wrong with you And it's the world that's dirty, scared and lonely Baby, I'm gonna show you what to do You have to shock the system revolution And it all came to life when I thought outside the lines and it all came to life when i thought outside the lines Maybe there's nothing wrong with you And it's the world that's dirty, scared and lonely Baby, I'm gonna show you what to do You have to shock the system revolution [3x] Revolution [x4] [Rich screams in background] It's getting harder to stand And further to fall But if you take My hand We can take on the world 03. Turn It Up
Turning it up like you always do.
Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Sooner or later, you're gonna come loose. What the fuck you gonna do? Your body's swaying from side to side. I wanna catch you when you fall, But then you'll learn nothing at all. Still I'm ready to run, But you're so damn drunk An atomic bomb couldn't wake up you. What's that you hear, bass and lights from the club? I don't think so. I'm by your side and all I can hear. Is that your mom's starting to cry, screaming, "Help me, help me, help me!" The way that she looks. [Chorus:] Turning it up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Sooner or later, you're gonna come loose. What the fuck you gonna do? Turning up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Broken and she'll never be saved. Suck it up, you fucked it up. The way she walks, The way she talks, We all know The girl is halfway dead. Dead. Dead. You're selling your soul for whiskey and coke. And you're a suicide for tequila and lime. And I gotta admit, when I first saw you. Hit the dancefloor with your grind, You sent me outta my mind. But after watching you crawl in the door That it is getting old and sold and I told I don't know But you're screaming, "I don't care! I don't care!" Care. Care. Care. The way that she looks. [Chorus:] Turning it up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Sooner or later, you're gonna come loose. What the fuck you gonna do? Turning up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Broken and she'll never be saved. Suck it up, you fucked it up. Turning it up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Sooner or later, you're gonna come loose. What the fuck you gonna do? Turning up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Broken and she'll never be saved. Suck it up, you fucked it up. (The way she walks, The way she talks, We all know The girl is halfway dead. The way she died, The way she said, We all know The girl is halfway dead.) Dead. Dead. Halfway dead. Dead. Dead. Halfway dead. When I see you lately, I'm wondering on White roses, caskets, Your name on a stone. Turning it up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. [Chorus:] Turning it up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Sooner or later, you're gonna come loose. What the fuck you gonna do? Turning up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Broken and she'll never be saved. Suck it up, you fucked it up. Turning it up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Sooner or later, you're gonna come loose. What the fuck you gonna do? Turning up like you always do. Head to toe, covered in tattoos. Broken and she'll never be saved. Suck it up, you fucked it up. (The way she walks, The way she talks, We all know The girl is halfway dead. The way she died, The way she said, We all know The girl is halfway dead.) 04. My Own Life
My father said to load that gun,
And keep the devil from the door, Don't be tempted by the words he says, I found a way to break the cycle, Initiated something vital, But to the ocean, it was only rain. So rain on me (rain on me) So rain on me (rain on me) Bombs are going off in my mind, To ban the places I can hide, Quicker now, I better think twice, Start a new life. Fate is kicking down the door, But I don't live there anymore, Destiny, it needs your advice. I'm starting a new life. What you gonna do when you've taken my breath away, Maybe die young isn't all it's meant to be, Until then I could just rewind, My life back to the beginning, Pause, press forward, that's too easy, Push stop the moment I can see the smoke. Then rain on me (rain on me) Then rain on me (rain on me) Bombs are going off in my mind, To ban the places I can hide, Quicker now, I better think twice, Start a new life. Fate is kicking down the door, But I don't live there anymore, Destiny, it needs your advice. I'm starting a new life. My own life, it's my own life Bombs are going off in my mind, Take a deep look in my eyes, What you see, do I seem fine? I'll start anew. Fate is knocking at the door, But I don't live there anymore. Destiny, it needs some advice, What shall I do? I'm starting a new life, Bombs are going off in my mind, To ban the places I can hide, Quickly now, I better think twice, Start a new life Fate is kicking down the door, But I don't live there anymore. Destiny, it took your advice. I've started the new life It's my own life, it's my own life I've started the new life It's my own life, It's my own life I've started the new life. 05. Burn This City Music by Roger & Robin Sjunnesson Lyrics by Nathan J. Biggs & Richard Sjunnesson
Are we alive?
Because I heard a rumor That the day we died was yesterday So are we rotting now? Can't find our graves? Well they created a lie Built out of structure and routine by robots But this night we're taking the virus to them Burn this city to let them know we're here Burn this city to reinstall the fear Now i see the turning point is Right before my eyes Still they find another way to put a different gun to our heads And so i take a breath there's plenty time to sleep when im dead Is this the only way its never gonna be? Right before my eyes ...Don't wanna think about the end When this ride is just getting started Roads uncharted Or is this end of the line? (Line!) I'm not giving lessons Lessons how stars are forged I just keep my finger on the trigger And blow 'em away one by one So can we all scream? (Yeah!) Loud enough to awaken The zombies of society Who control these times Burn this city to let them know we're here Burn this city to reinstall the fear Now i see the turning point is Right before my eyes Still they find another way to put a different gun to our heads And so i take a breath there's plenty time to sleep when im dead Is this the only way its never gonna be? Right before my eyes And I still want to see the light (see the light) Shining in front of my eyes Running's easy Where will we go - Who knows? Don t look back as long as I've got you we ll make it Burn this city to let them know we're here Burn this city to reinstall the fear Now i see the turning point is Right before my eyes Still they find another way to put a different gun to our heads And so i take a breath there's plenty time to sleep when im dead Is this the only way its never gonna be? Right before my eyes 06. Black And Blue
Why did you want me to be there?
Yesterday you changed my destiny. Controlled by the moon. If I would have known, I would have been there For you, my baby, for you. [Chorus:] Black and blue, I bled for you. Still better tell me what to do. It's a dedication with a human heart. You dragged me down for one last time, We'll I'll be yours and you'll be mine. But after sunrise, I'll turn to stone. My proposition is unconditional And it ends tonight. Need a body to explore. I tried to keep my cool but your frozen skin is Magnetic to me. Hold on. [Chorus:] Black and blue, I bled for you. Still better tell me what to do. It's a dedication with a human heart. You dragged me down for one last time, We'll I'll be yours and you'll be mine. But after sunrise, I'll turn to stone. Yeah, yeah. And now, I'm caught in a web, Visions in my head. Truth is calling me, I'm searching for myself. And now, I'm caught in a web, Visions in my head. Truth is calling me, I'm searching for myself. Let go. [Chorus:] Black and blue, I bled for you. Still better tell me what to do. It's a dedication with a human heart. You dragged me down for one last time, We'll I'll be yours and you'll be mine. But after sunrise, I'll turn to stone. Black and blue, I bled for you. Still better tell me what to do. It's a dedication with a human heart. You dragged me down for one last time, We'll I'll be yours and you'll be mine. But after sunrise, I'll turn to stone. But after sunrise... But after sunrise... 07. Miles Apart
An honest crescendo
And by your words that rise like stars. That moment, I knew That I would bind myself to you. For calling, the demons, They can't wait to deny the truth. But they'll have to wait. I'm anxious 'cause right now I am loving you. [Chorus:] There is nothing that they can do. To stop me needing and yearning you. Even if we're a million miles apart, We're still joined right at the heart. Heart. Your memory, it warms my soul. So when I die, I won't be cold. Put here on earth, I got something to prove, And why love a lie if I got nothing to lose. So I take my chance and I make my move. I fought my evils, scaled the wall And backed the right horse, broke the rules. I'm risking everything I've got Just to get a shot with you. [Chorus:] There is nothing that they can do. To stop me needing and yearning you. Even if we're a million miles apart, We're still joined right at the heart. There is nothing that they can do. To stop me needing and yearning you. Even if we're a million miles apart, We're still joined right at the heart. Heart. I died inside when you were taken, And then I died some more. The daylight hurts my eyes 'Cause I'm a stranger to the sun. Some parts of me are gone forever, But the rest of me lives on. [Chorus:] There is nothing that they can do. To stop me needing and yearning you. Even if we're a million miles apart, We're still joined right at the heart. There is nothing that they can do. To stop me needing and yearning you. Even if we're a million miles apart, We're still joined right at the heart. Heart, heart. Heart, heart. Heart, heart. Heart, heart. 08. Plans Are For People
It's not enough
(It's not enough) To be yourself, (To be yourself) You have to be your best self. From the point of view There is no kingdom, There's no kingdom in the clouds. You keep preaching the words you receive, Receive from the maker. But what if God is not the sender? So what's it like to be put to sleep Because it keeps the sun imploding. The same old story, No way to find me Every time that you want me. [Chorus:] I try not to make plans, Plans are for people In control of their own life. It's good for the hunter, Bad for the hunted. See the world for what it is. Every day I searched (Every day I searched) Your face for clues, (Your face for clues,) Looking for a window To strike into you mind. When the chips are down, ... And that your heart is any stronger So what's it like to be put to sleep Because it keeps the sun imploding. The same old story, No way to find me Every time that you want me. [Chorus:] I try not to make plans, Plans are for people In control of their own life. It's good for the hunter, Bad for the hunted. See the world for what it is. As I walk the surface of the sun, It makes me feel alive, Alive again. [Chorus:] I try not to make plans, Plans are for people In control of their own life. It's good for the hunter, Bad for the hunted. See the world for what it is. I try not to make plans, Plans are for people In control of their own life. It's good for the hunter, Bad for the hunted. See the world for what it is. 09. Leave Me Alone
My dreams are always the same.
It flickers in my brain Over and over again. What is it I got That triggers you to follow me day and night? I can smell your scent all around. I don't know what your demons are telling you, But it ain't me you're looking for. [Chorus:] Why, (Why!) Why won't you leave me alone? And toss me aside. And why, (Why!) Why won't you just let me go? Stay out of my way. I slept with the enemy. They stole all that I've got. Faint, my lust has been out of control. I don't know what your demons are telling you, But it ain't me you're looking for. [Chorus:] Why, (Why!) Why won't you leave me alone? And toss me aside. And why, (Why!) Why won't you just let me go? Stay out of my way. Why, (Why!) Why won't you leave me alone? And toss me aside. And why, (Why!) Why won't you just let me go? Stay out of my way. And I'm locked in the yesterdays Of your cellular memories. But I'm cutting you out of the film to the floor. Little by little as I walk out the door, And you're gone. [Chorus:] Why, (Why!) Why won't you leave me alone? And toss me aside. And why, (Why!) Why won't you just let me go? Stay out of my way. Why, (Why!) Why won't you leave me alone? And toss me aside. And why, (Why!) Why won't you just let me go? Stay out of my way. Stay out of my way. 10. Break Of Day
The earth is large
Large enough that you think you can hide from anything From fate, from God, from pain As long as you get far enough away So you run (run) to the edge of the earth Where all is safe again and just for a moment You think you managed to escape You could never be more wrong [Chorus:] Sometimes when I look in the mirror I'm not sure it's me looking back from the other side What if the nightmares give chase? And they track me down even after the break of day We think we are We are agents of our own destiny In charge of when we rise or fall Capable of determining our own fate Couldn't be, no we couldn't be more wrong Cause you don't choose your destiny Your destiny it chooses you You cannot escape your fate [Chorus:] Sometimes when I look in the mirror I'm not sure it's me looking back from the other side What if the nightmares give chase? And they track me down even after the break of day First you show me You show me that I cannot be harmed By any weapon or blade they try to use on me Then you cut me You cut me deeper than Than any You cut me deeper than any sword could have done [Chorus:] Sometimes when I look in the mirror I'm not sure it's me looking back from the other side What if the nightmares give chase? And they track me down even after the break of day I turn deep into my soul to find the strength To stand against my fears There's nothing imprisoned in the looking glass I learnt to understand the silver only echoes what I think into it Don't need to wait for the break of day 11. We Rule The Night
My home is no longer a place where refuge can be found
"You dug far too deep..." What I stumbled upon "Was not for your eyes to see" I'm always on the run 'cause something's after me Cold shivers working its way down my very spine I'm far away from home I'm far from all I know "You can't run from me" My heart gives me away And there's no place left to hide "You will accept Caine's curse" Pay the price for your ignorance Discard all your mortal feelings [Chorus:] Until the end of time we are slaves to the dark He pulled me down, pulled me down to this world We emerge from the shadows and we rule the night We rule the night, rule the night together My body degrades organs failing Your blood runs like liquid fire in my veins "The masquerade unveils, share my burden child" Kill them all and then let god separate them Their pain shall be legendary [Chorus:] Until the end of time we are slaves to the dark He pulled me down, pulled me down to this world We emerge from the shadows and we rule the night We rule the night, rule the night together As my body dies tonight I see clearly who pulls the strings We broke our oath Used the forgotten keys of this world just too Eclipse the sun for you Black out the sun We buried it as deep as we could It wasn't deep enough We buried it as deep as we could But it wasn't deep enough [Chorus:] Until the end of time we are slaves to the dark He pulled me down, pulled me down to this world We emerge from the shadows and we rule the night We rule the night, rule the night together Until the end of time we are slaves to the dark He pulled me down, pulled me down to this world We emerge from the shadows and we rule the night We rule the night, rule the night together We rule the night, We rule the night 12. Dead And Gone Music by Roger & Robin Sjunnesson Lyrics by Nathan J. Biggs & Richard Sjunnesson
There is no shelter just the body god gave us
And all we can do is to hope that that's enough Well I know the rules, always did, they are written indside of my eyelids It's an imperfect world we live in, but it's the only world we have The less we get the more we want in this throwaway society Fading to the point of no return, we're at a crossroad Just follow the compass of your heart Until we all get torched Get torched by the undying sun [Chorus:] When we're dead and gone when our mistakes been done A celestial corpse will carry on And it will illustrate how we undermined our own existence When we're dead and gone and our mistakes been done Let's all just face the facts No matter how we bend or break it We make the ultimate sacrifice Out of all our human-crafted artifacts The longest lasting will be our redesigned atmosphere Now how does that make you fee that we're beyond repair? We sealed our fate in this slow-motion suicide The less we get the more we want In this throwaway society Fading to the point of no return We're at a crossroads Just follow the compass of your heart Until we all get torched Get torched by the undying sun [Chorus:] When we're dead and gone when our mistakes been done A celestial corpse will carry on And it will illustrate how we undermined our own existence When we're dead and gone and our mistakes been done Let's all just face the facts No matter how we bend or break it We make the ultimate sacrifice What we set in motion must play itself out So we can hand the earth over in better shape than we accepted it [Chorus:] When we're dead and gone when our mistakes been done A celestial corpse will carry on And it will illustrate how we undermined our own existence When we're dead and gone and our mistakes been done Let's all just face the facts No matter how we bend or break it We make the ultimate sacrifice When we're dead and gone when our mistakes been done A celestial corpse will carry on And it will illustrate how we undermined our own existence When we're dead and gone 13. Perfect Alibi Music by Roger & Robin Sjunnesson Lyrics by Nathan J. Biggs & Richard Sjunnesson
Are you listening?
Are you really there? I'm open to suggestions Do you even care? Because within I die the more and more we lie Hope seems to grow outside our reality of life There's a fragile part of me that needs some help to heal Hold a candlelight for me and don't let it go out Whispering those words you like We're lying here side by side Secrets dont say stay secret for long we'll write the perfect alibi and tell them all how we tried but in the end they'll find out anyway so let's make an honest mistake Tell me do you ever admit to it being more than just a dream Even you, the road that lead me here For you, the one who it clear For you I've been struck down And built back up pound by pound For you I would if I could But there's nothing left to do except keep... (Secrets don't stay secret for long) Whispering those words you like We're lying here side by side Secrets dont say stay secret for long we'll write the perfect alibi and tell them all how we tried but in the end they'll find out anyway so let's make an honest mistake Are you listening? Are you really there? |
