Another day is passing by
But I'm still standing, you might ask me "Why? How many heartaches can you take, How many wounds until your heart will break?" I'm moving on, I'm pushing on Have no direction, but I'm going strong Just like a ship without a sail With a hurricane right on it's tail I can't allow myself to fail One more day - if you can give me one more day Just one day - before you leave me - one more day. The ones I met, the ones I lost Became a single - kind of scary - ghost It keeps on knocking on my door I tell you. I can't take it anymore Entire life - a bloody mess But at this point I couldn't care less Whoever stayed, whoever fled: You sort it out while I'm - instead - Will keep on moving straight ahead The race is on... I kneel and pray: "Just give me one more day." 02. Another Man Down Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Hey, how've you been? Dreamed 'bout you lately...
Whom have you seen? Miss you all... miss you greatly I saw you smile... when? Last december? Yeah, it's been awhile since you left. I remember Pain... as we're saying goodbye... pouring rain Me? I don't know... lost all my senses - Facing the war makes you strong yet defenseless Hell's all around, all that dying and screaming Where's no way out - you are next... so I'm dreaming I close my eyes and hear: "Another man down." But far behind me - I'm flying - Somebody else's body hits the ground I'm moving away... or just trying? I spread my wings and hear: "Another man down." more screaming, cursing and Crying Somebody else's body hitting the ground... I open my eyes... and I am this "another man down" Hey, it's getting colder... oh no, time to go 03. An Empty Shell Music & lyrics by André Andersen
I saw you all around the place
a sure and solid bet: no heart, no soul... a common face, as cold as you can get Without a clue, without a cause it's in your blood, cuz otherwise you're just an empty shell Behind that almost perfect mask no feelings, no remorse Remember: time is running fast, the sound of closing doors is getting louder every day. you never had a real name, you're just an empty shell The end is near so unavoidable and rude I guess you're dwelling on the past Whatever happens here is easy understood: you're never meant to last, you're never gonna last. Without a clue, without a cause it's in your blood, cuz otherwise you're just an empty shell 04. Hard Rain's Coming Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Tell me how do you sleep at night and help me
To understand your twisted mind: Living off someone's misery and giving Away the pain... and feeling fine? You're waiting for a miracle to wash your sins away? Sorry, but I can't change your pity story... There's nothing I can do at all Too late, the only thing that's left is to wait A little for that final call... your fall Still praying for a miracle to wash your sins away? Whoever you betrayed, whatever price you've paid - It all'll be washed away... a hard rain is coming Whoever's on the run, whatever's left undone - It will be over soon... a hard rain is coming No sorrow and no fear and all your sins will disappear Whoever's path you've crossed, whatever's hurting most - It all'll be washed away... a hard rain is coming You're on your own, whatever you have done - It's time to pay Just walk alone and settle all your depths - Here, right away A heart of stone is breaking quickly... man, It's not your day But either way - you can't stop dreaming, Well... keep on dreaming 05. Half Past Loneliness Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Life's not the same without you
All this time around you's been a dream. And you'd never guess: Still I can hear your laughter even ages after You've been gone. and I confess: Half past loneliness... I'm waiting for All my dreams to show up at my door The clock has stopped at Half past loneliness... I'm wide awake How much more a wounded, Broken heart can take? Wait just a minute longer - Pain is getting stronger every time You're on my mind Now all I do is trying to forget, denying A sense of time of any kind 06. Show Me How to Live Music & lyrics by André Andersen
In the midnight hour I'm sitting by the fire,
Running out of memories to burn Look, I'm in your power - beaten down and tired, Waiting for the last thing left to learn So show me how to live You can leave me waiting by this dying fire... Just a single question, anyway: What's the point - creating life but no desire To hang on and face another day? So show me how to live, cuz all I do is trying To honestly forgive, but patience's running dry So show me how to live: you can't keep denying What all you've had to give - a thousand ways to die Now show me how to live 07. Angel's Gone Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Can't go on without knowing
How to make it through another day Can't be blind yet keep on going Tell me why you've left me here to stay All alone... on my own... it goes on and on Lift me up and bring me straight to heaven Burn my past and everything I've done Take my sins - I piled them up, all seven ... now I see - my guarding angel's gone I don't know where did you come from. Fallen angel from a dream... you see: I don't care, and if it's such a turn on - Tear apart the very rest of me Lose the key... let it be... set me free However... forever... my guarding angel's gone |
