So life, your gilded leafs have turned
From once upon a time to darkest hour Ember to inferno - the ending is stronger I burned myself for a page of rhymes Only the broken hearts make you beautiful And one has got to be mine Only a broken heart, turned cynical Lights my final rhyme Someone broke the frame and now my picture's gone Remember what I look like? You can keep my old umbrella I'll have my rainy day, thank you for all the pain That's all I wanted... Only the broken hearts make you beautiful And one has got to be mine Only a broken heart, turned cynical Love lost, a typical rhyme Only the broken hearts make you beautiful And one has got to be mine Only a broken heart, turned cynical Love lost, a typical rhyme Only the broken hearts make you beautiful And one has got to be mine Only a broken heart, turned cynical Love lost, a typical rhyme 02. Shitload Of Money
Yeah!
She got a shitload of money The night's a mile high deja vu Taking her wings and halo down to boom town, yeah She got a shitload of money When the night is over She walks away no wings, no halo There's an angel with no glory There's a book without a story Wings road stained will now descend Teary smile to rip your heart into two... It is an ordinary day dream To save an angel, be her plaything But now you know She got a shitload of money Shiny wings dark sky All chains only glorify freedom Nobody knows how she got it (what she's got) She got a shitload of money A fallen angel paid for her halo Underhanded, they are falling All the trump cards they are folding Oh, the greenback days are over now Lady Luck took off with her new love I'm never in for the penny, but always in for a Pounding when I'm playing Put your mouth where my money is, The world is now for sale, hon! So many open mouths, one silver spoon She got a shitload of money Shiny wings dark sky All chains only glorify freedom Nobody knows how she got it (what she's got) She got a shitload of money A fallen angel paid for her halo 03. Losing My Insanity
The siren's sounding, the screech is warning
All is ending Night of nights, I'm a child of the world Now derailed They found me crying in the dark I'm not accepting If I sleep I am there, yet I'm always too late Seems to me I can do in a dream Almost anything If only dreams were real Losing my insanity Would mean I'm losing everything The dream where I can fly I'm losing my insanity I'm not awake, I'm not asleep I'm filthy, dirty only in my dreams When you can't see me I'm standing on the hill and I'm the king Of this land in the palm of your hand Dreams are deceiving I arrive while I am leaving I'm the bird in the sky, you are aiming at me Seems to me I can do in a dream Almost anything If only dreams were real Losing my insanity Would mean I'm losing everything The dream where I can fly I'm losing my insanity Losing my insanity Would mean I'm losing everything The dream where I can fly I'm losing my insanity The imagination I feed every night To be able to fly in the deep, blue skies Up where the rivers are crystal clear Losing my insanity Would mean I'm losing everything The dream where I can fly I'm losing my insanity Losing my insanity Would mean I'm losing everything The dream where I can fly I'm losing my insanity Losing my insanity Would mean I'm losing everything The dream where I can fly I'm losing my insanity 04. Somewhere Close To You
Hold me when I'm standing
When I've fallen, we're disbanding You are so goddamn beautiful, but Unstable, your joke got old. Sick one trick pony You fed my fire, Now I'm rising ever higher And the red ripples multiply as Reflections rise from the sea From the sea Take away the pain inflected on me The hunger you're letting me feed I bleed my rust on the roses That once have chained us, me to you Your dying love is a rose I will bury somewhere close to you When we are dancing I hear worlds, you're still fading I feel safe, yet unsatisfied Soaked in trance and disgrace You are so jaded, keep me sedated With your nonsense, deeds and phrases And if suns still set in your eyes You get to see my face glow Take away the pain inflected on you The hunger you're letting me feed Bleed my rust on the roses That once have chained us, me to you Your dying love is a rose I will bury somewhere close to you You bleed your rust on the roses That once have chained us, me to you Your dying love is a rose I will bury somewhere close to you I bleed my rust on the roses That once have chained us, me to you Your dying love is a rose I will bury somewhere close to you 05.

Alone In Heaven
Welcome to heaven, left from the lights, the number seven
You have it all now, now that you've come to see the light Take it all in, an open mind Now you wonder: What if your heaven was someone else's hell? Heaven. What the hell would I do in that place without you? In heaven, alone in heaven, alone in heaven, alone in heaven... Welcome to heaven! Can you believe the things you see here?! Forever winter, summer of love, spring or fall It doesn't matter anymore Alone you wonder, Can this be heaven if my best friends burn in hell? Heaven. What the hell would I do in that place without you? In heaven, alone in heaven, alone in heaven, alone in heaven... I can't see you here. Where have you all gone now? Don't know, but it hurts, to be all alone On the field where the stones grow dead names I'll never leave you behind, It's one for all, and all for life Still I wonder, Why go to heaven, when my best friends burn in hell? Heaven. What the hell would I do in that place without you? In heaven, alone in heaven, alone in heaven, alone in heaven... Heaven. What the hell would I do in that place without you? In heaven, alone in heaven, alone in heaven, alone in heaven... I can't see you here. Where have you all gone now? Don't know, but it hurts, to be all alone On the field where the stones grow dead names Heaven, What the hell would I do in that place without you, now? What the hell would I do in that place without you? Heaven 07. The Day
Sea full of diamonds, good morning new day
I'll fix us breakfast, and the newspaper says The company will lay off 5000 souls today "I wish I was a child with no worries back then", I say "Kiss me and smile...", you reply, in your way You wake up the children for school... for the last time For suddenly our beautiful life blurs away and the world breaks into pieces 'Cause today the sea came in. The wave came and stole my loved ones I write these lines alone On the rooftop of my home I'm adrift on the vast oceans, can you feel me? I will not see you again, even if I live through The day when the sea came... Day when the sea came... Day when the sea came in... I trace the scenes our children once played Names carved in wood, all the words, bound to fade I believe, my love, your memory and dreams deserve to live again tomorrow My love... We built this world together, we lived in here together And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together My friend... We'll win the fight together, we'll lose the game together Greet the heroes all together, and forever, we'll remember My world... We built this world together, we lived in here together And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together And as long as we're together, in spirit, yet together, You're the air that I am kissing You will always be there... I can feel you in the wind... I can feel you in the wind... 08. Cinderblox
If I one day found my way back home
One more ride for the hell of it If I one day found my way back home I would tell you how I love you so One more time for the road tonight, honey One more try just for the hell of it Cinder blocks are keeping me inside Wall so thick, cold yet benign One more time for the road tonight, honey One more try just for the hell of it Can I stay away from you If I get out of here soon? Would the road be paved by my mistakes, By the law or by you? Every wall in here is blue, Every man here knows you too We have seen your every curve, The sole good purpose you serve Yeah! I'm safe, I'm safe in here from you, I know 'Cause you can't make me do things I would not otherwise do One more time for the road tonight, honey One more try just for the hell of it When you're done with your wining and dining You make a man do things that wind him up in jail 09. Don't Be Mean
I am lost with no key
And I worry there's no easy way out of this place I'm the pain that I cause. Must I let out all the evil to be healed? To be healed. Is it really what I want? Don't be mean now, you know how I feel. Give relief, don't be mean to me Just leave me the key For this once, it's my turn to be the strong one, You're in pain, I try to leave with grace Say hello to my tear, I have only one, I kept it safe for this moment To be healed, is that really what we want? Don't be mean, it's not what we need now Give relief, don't be mean to me That's not what we need. Believe in me, don't be mean to me Just leave me the key To be healed, is it really what we want Don't be mean, that's not what we need Be relieved, don't be mean to me Just do as you please. When you leave, don't be mean to me Just leave me the key So when you leave, don't be mean Leave in peace. 10. Wildfire, Part: II - One With The Mountain
"Hello"
So here I walk up the road back home, This place is me, my skin, blood and bones You'd have to remember in order to fear me "Your past will now burn down your town" There is a mountain, in the horizon Rebuilding the fire, the flames are arising I am the flint and the kindler they need This is where we used to live You were scared. You all were. You cast me out, all for one, family. You draw my blood, they will burn down your town There is a mountain, in the horizon Rebuilding the fire, the flames are arising Strong is the fear, and the anger it breeds I can take all the blame, for the sake of my name Our blood on your hands, running hot in my veins They say: "Do yourself well and stay away from your family" - what?! Build a wall on the hill and write a book out of fear Then aim a gun at your son to keep him safe from us You´re not foolish, you're insane. They would die for me. Twice. Build a wall on the hill, write a book out of fear You are out of your minds, blind; your love´s the killing kind? Children play, Your riddles and games Are hurtful, this pains me to know, they will teach them to fear. But if anything, they teach them to hate - The bells of my fate play my songs, But I don´t want to dance anymore But I don´t want to dance anymore Cause I don´t want to dance with fire! Love is the infinite power You´re gonna sing when the mountain tells you, Now, you'll sing, you'll bow, as we dance around you In a dream, you believe, you have seen our soul, You have seen our heart, You have seen through the wall, You have seen what we are, But what have you learned? I can take all the blame, for the sake of my name Our blood on your hands, running hot in the veins They say: "Do yourself well and stay away from your family" -what?! Build a wall on the hill, write a book out of fear Aim a gun at your son, keep him safe from us You're not foolish, you're insane. They will love me till death Build a wall on the hill, write a book out of fear Aim a gun at your sons, make them all read it You are out of your minds, your love is the killing kind? Write a book about us, family infamous Memorize every leaf, every word, every phrase See your name on the last page? Consumed by fire ...The bells of my fate play a song, but I don't want to dance anymore ...But I don't want to dance anymore ...'Cause I don't want to dance with fire! The innocence slain, the price you have paid So tonight, if you teach your own children to hate Remember to tell of both heaven and hell Never open those gates for the weak... Because we're up on the mountain... We are one with the mountain... Cause we are the mountain, one with the Mountain Wildfire Mountain... Wildfire... 11. Wildfire, Part: III - Wildfire Town, Population: 0
You didn't come in peace, wear a flower in your hair
Didn't mean to harm anyone of us in here You need what you take, like a candle needs a snowflake The roots are alive and the bodies will rise You can try the same, but you'll never have a dice Waging a war to a mountain; death, eruption Know that if Mountain wants you all begone, thou wilt be gone You bring in the machines... "fire in the hole!" Money is the power, morals gotta go Tomorrow comes and the law is not a problem. Corruption. On every standing nail a hammer is to fall No value in the oddities, evolution's gone Talk is cheap but the suits are not Thy will be done, thou wilt be dead You dig another hole in the one you're standing in Nothing is enough for Generation Greed Angels die for the cause, long live the faction If you have access, "it is fine to reave!" You only destroy to be able to leave This planet one day, what a perfect day! Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be done, thou wilt be dead. Fiat iustitia, Pereat Mundus Tulkoon oikeus, tuhoutukoon maailma Seen so many of you die, thy will be gone. Yay! You are wasting your life, use a pen as a knife Always wanna take more than you ask for All your promises reek, gluttony makes you weak. Our planet is ever so grateful, Grateful when your offspring´s gone: done! Gomorrah be gone, revolution, a new spin You don't wanna dance in the ballroom you're in Mountain gives no hope, line up to die now. You are in a battle you're not supposed to win Still you run to your death, face it with a grin Run home, kids, while you still have homes A place where you learn about harmony and peace These you never knew, wish you would, but never will It's in your blood, but your blood runs thin The Mountain still wants to believe, you can turn the page again You lose your hope here, one by one Listen to me, son, you've got nowhere to run You are not perfect at anything, least of all in things we were always good at Slow to learn, you are slow to learn, children grow and burn, 'cause you'll never learn... Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be done, Thy will be, Thy will be... ...Thou wilt be dead. Species, generations. Extinct? Evolved? What you call progress, must be put on hold To let you have your way is not an option "Using his burgeoning intelligence, this most successful of all mammals has exploited the environment to produce food for an ever increasing population. Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps it is time we control the population to allow the survival of the environment." 12. Tonight I Dance Alone
Sometimes we find things we're not looking for
And we lose the sense of reason Sometimes we lose what we are caring for And then face the day without them My life, my home, my you Sometimes we fail to say how hurt we are When the word we fear speaks treason Don't wanna be there when my Cupid dies From a wound by his own arrow Here's to life, my home, my you I raise a glass 'n drown my sorrow When I'm on my own I dry my eyes on a shoulder But it's not my own I cannot hold you, my tears are made of stone I feel a tap on my shoulder, but... tonight i dance alone 13. One-Two-Free-Fall
He said:
"Sit down and hear what I say, little prince" I've taught you to live by the book ever since you came here, one lifetime ago. Your brothers and sisters are gone, they all know?" They sang in both choirs, the sinners and saints I told you how twisted a picture it paints for us to behold, a disgrace. When a new morning dawns, it spits on my face One, two, free-fall, down in the well with them all I am not their slave anymore Cut my leash, I´m not gonna bow and adore I will rave and plunder Life in a dell, in my private little cell I can see one face everywhere Thank you for this hell. Somethings you see will never go away This is the shit I confront every day We huffed while they bluffed their way in The Good play fair even if the odds are thin One, two, free-fall, down in the well with it all I am not their slave anymore Cut my leash, I´m not gonna bow and adore I will let them drown there I light you a candle and carry you away from the walls of this little town today I will not see the Light, it's a blight, if I´m right so tonight I will fight my way out of their sight You think you built a fortress, that your life's a citadel. But at the same time now there's something wrong with you All your vivid dreams and nightmares will now fall down from the sky When it hits you, the painless jump and fall One, two, free-fall |
