The Murder Of My Sweet - Bye Bye Lullaby lyrics



Tracks



01. Armageddon

The clouds are getting darker
My heart goes tick tock
They say the light will strike tonight, it's time

Our world is going under
Are you prepared to fight?
Bring all your monsters now
It's time we face the fire

This means war
Reload your gun
It's time to run
Armageddon baby
This means war
We'll fight as one
Bring down the sun
Armageddon baby
This means war
This means war

Last night on earth, it's alright
Let's make it, worth while
Come close and feel my body, don't let go

Our world is going under
Are you prepared to fight?
Bring all your monsters now
It's time we face the fire

This means war
Reload your gun
It's time to run
Armageddon baby
This means war
We'll fight as one
Bring down the sun
Armageddon baby
This means war
This means war

The clouds are getting darker
It's time to face the fire now
I need your arms around me baby
Stay close tonight
Stay close tonight

Our world is going under
Are you prepared to fight?

This means war
This means war
'Cause this means war
This means war
Reload your gun
It's time to run
Armageddon baby
This means war
We'll fight as one
Bring down the sun
Armageddon baby
This means war
This means war

No more false predictions
Never liked your visions
Get ready 'cause this means war
Get ready 'cause this means war

02. Fallen

Tainted eyes confess
That I'm not perfect
I try, but fail, I'm stuck out here

Damn the wolves of fear
I hide my restless tears in shame
No one, can taste my hunger

So hard to fight in this wind
When falling

I don't know how to mend my wings I'm falling
I've fallen from the sky
I dream of how it is to fly so high without fear
The weight is on my shoulders while I'm calling
I'm calling out your name
White butterfly
Has fallen
Fallen

Such a tangled web
Sticky lace on led
In your command, but you
You don't want it!

So tired of fightinng this wind

I don't know how to mend my wings I'm falling
I've fallen from the sky
I dream of how it is to fly so high without fear
The weight is on my shoulders while I'm calling
I'm calling out your name
White butterfly
Has fallen
Fallen

The moon is out of worry
By feeling loved again
The shackles around my heart begin to melt away

I'm learning how to mend my wings, I'm learning
how to reach the sky
No worries now
To fly around the world today
Oh I'm flying high
I'm rising

I don't know how to mend my wings I'm falling
I'm falling from the sky
I dream of how it is to fly high without fear
The weight is on my shoulders while I'm calling
I'm calling out your name
White butterfly has fallen, fallen, fallen

03. Unbreakable

Lately I
I've started to doubt my self
I blame it on someone else
So typical
Truth is I
I can't really comprehend
Why nothing has gone my way
But I won't let it break me

There's a light
That's hidden deep within us
And it shines
It's right there when we need it
Search your heart
You've got it I can see it

For every bet that you've lost
For every dream that you lived
Whatever they tell you we are not weak at all
Baby we're unbreakable

For every hirt that it cost
For every tear that you weep
Whatever they tell you we are not weak at all
Baby we're unbreakable

Times are rough
But baby you know you're tough
Cause we are untouchable
Unstoppable
Touch the sky
The limit is in your mind
You fall and get up again
Again until you reach it

There's a light
That's hidden deep within us
Search your heart
You've got it I can see it

For every bet that you've lost
For every dream that you lived
Whatever they tell you we are not weak at all
Baby we're unbreakable

For every hirt that it cost
For every tear that you weep
Whatever they tell you we are not weak at all
Baby we're unbreakable

Soon enough
Your true colours will shine bright
Down they go
All the walls come tumbling down
Like a rock
We're unbreakable

For every bet that you've lost
For every dream that you lived
Whatever they tell you we are not weak at all
Baby we're unbreakable

For every hirt that it cost
For every tear that you weep
Whatever they tell you we are not weak at all
Baby we're unbreakable

04. I Dare You

Are you some one who needs to have control and
never work in doubt?
A little person in this big,
big world who thinks he's got it planned?

Just take a second, try to read between the lines
Have you ever wandered off this static line?
Well, do you listen to your heart or to your mind?
Poor judgment seeds the crime

Cause I found gold,
Where no one else would search for fear of trying
I fought the cold,
When no one dared to speak unless their told
I had to know
It's easier to walk the given road but I want more
I dare you to let go

Are you someone who needs to have it all and
measure wealth in things?
A greedy millionaire who thinks
his only pleasure lies in sin?

Just take a second, try to read between the lines
Have you ever wandered off this static line?
Well, do you listen to your heart or to your mind?
Poor judgement seeds the crime

Cause I found gold,
Where no one else would search for fear of trying
I fought the cold,
When no one dared to speak unless their told
I had to know
It's easier to walk the given road but I want more
I dare you to let go

Dare to live like no tomorrow
Dare to lead on, don't just follow

Where only eagles dare to fly
Do we outgrow our curious minds?
So stop the hourglass
Freeze all the space and time
Can't change the past but you have learned

You can not change, you can not change the past,
you can not change
You can not change, you can not change the past

Cause I found gold,
Where no one else would search for fear of trying
I fought the cold,
When no one dared to speak unless their told
I had to know
It's easier to walk the given road but I want more
I dare you to let go

05. Violently Peaceful

Faking ways to pay the bills
Making headlines, what a thrill
Oh take a pill
In reality you are just as messed up as a lunatic
Sustained, insane

Be honest with me hand on heart
Before it's going to tear you apart
Will it ever be enough?
Will you go too far?

In the corner of my eye
Invading private lives
A penny for your pity thoughts
Always two steps behind
In the corner of my eye
There's a flash in the night
Smiling happy for the lens
Will you sleep well tonight?
You swore you'd never sell your soul
How could you make a choice so poor?
Kiss me violently peaceful

Selling out, an easy sin
Until the devil comes collecting in
Ashamed you'll pay

Be honest with me, hand on heart
Before it's going to tear you apart
Will it ever be enough?
Will you go too far?

In the corner of my eye
Invading private lives
A penny for your pity thoughts
Always two steps behind
In the corner of my eye
Ther's a flash in the night
Smiling happy for the lens
Will you sleep well tonight?
You swore you'd never sell your soul
How could you make a choice so poor?
Kiss me violently peaceful

Show me
Tell me what you want to see
Tease me
Tell me what you want to read
Bring me headlines
Tell me sweet lies
Show me
Everything you haven't seen
Tease me
The cover or the centrefold
Bring me headlines
Tell me sweet lies

Kiss me violently peaceful
Violently peaceful
Will you sleep well tonight?

In the corner of my eye
Invading private lives
A penny for your pity thoughts
Always two steps behind
In the corner of my eye
Ther's a flash in the night
Smiling happy for the lens
Will you sleep well tonight?
You swore you'd never sell your soul
How could you make a choice so poor?
Kiss me violently peaceful

06. Meant To Last Forever

A thousand voices in my head
Keep me silent in this bed
You're lying near me
But do you feel me?
We're together, I'm alone
When did lies become our song?
We messed up badly
Can we save this?

You know I can't be less than everything
for you my love, oh no

Do your worst,
Go on
Come let it out on me
Crazy calm and out of reach
Starring back at me
Get it over with
Our love was meant to last forever
Forever

Off by dawn not back 'til late
We drift apart, we drift away
Did we stop caring?
Why are we changing?
That's the way of the world
It was us against the world
Now we barely say a word
We messed up badly
Can save this?
That's the way love goes

You know you're never less than
Everything for me you're all I know

Do your worst,
Go on
Come let it out on me
Crazy calm and out of reach
While you're staring back at me
Do your worst
It doesn't hurt
I can take much more than this
Get it over with
Our love was meant to last forever

Stop the world from turning, I'm out of breath
Take us back to the first time we met
Don't waste our last dance
Take me by the hand and let's run away
Don't let another morning just fade away

Do your worst,
Go on
Come let it out on me
Crazy calm and out of reach
While you're staring back at me
Do your worst
It doesn't hurt
I can take much more than this
Get it over with
Our love was meant to last forever
I can take much more than this
Get it over with
You promised
Our love was meant to last forever
Meant to last forever
Our love was meant to last forever

07. Idolize

I'm lost
I am weak
But I'm not surrendering
You say
You know
I'm not enough
I won't give in
My knees hurt
From all the begging

Idolize
Idolize like all the rest
Idolize
It's easier than to love your self, you're scared
You worship on
Pretend that nothing's wrong
Ohh poor you

Each call
Not one
To my expectations
Pressure
Pleasure
How will it be?
My dreams so fragile
In your hands
Why am I still here?

Idolize
Idolize like all the rest
Idolize
It's easier than to love your self, you're scared
You worship on
Pretend that nothing's wrong
Ohh poor you

Time to wake up
Time to wake up honey
Little girls dream other girls don't worry
It's a big world, it's a cruel world face the facts
It's the last stand it will last 5 seconds
Easier read than a Shakespeare lesson
Time to wake up it's a plastic way of life
But still you idolize

I know, you know
I'm right

Idolize
Idolize like all the rest
Idolize
It's easier than to love your self, you're scared
You worship on
Pretend that nothing's wrong
Ohh poor you

I'm lost
I'm weak
But I'm not surrendering

08. Kind Of Lousy

Have you until tonight meet someone quite as I
Felt the magic
Though I'm not your kind
Are you sure you don't mind walking another line
Break the rules and make the wrong sound right

I never meant to cut you loose
But you don't seem to mind me sing the blues
Ironically, here's me

I'm kind of lousy
I'm kind of crazy
But without that I would come for you
Maybe I'm clumsy
Maybe I'm hasty
But you know I'll always do
I'm kind of lousy
I'm kind of crazy
9 of 10 I'm a fool to you
I can't believe you would let me
Win you over

Do you ever look back
Wondering if you could find
Just to wake up
Filled with satisfy
Will you ever regret
Leaving your fancy lies
For a chance to walk by my side

I never meant to cut you loose
But you don't seem to mind me sing the blues
Ironically, here's me

I'm kind of lousy
I'm kind of crazy
But without that I would come for you
Maybe I'm clumsy
Maybe I'm hasty
But you know I'll always do
I'm kind of lousy
I'm kind of crazy
9 of 10 I'm a fool to you
I can't believe you would let me
Win you over

I'm kind of lousy
I'm kind of crazy
I'm a fool to you
Maybe I'm clumsy
Maybe I'm hasty
But I won't let you down
(There ain't nothing that will keep me down)
(Now that I won you over)
(There ain't nothing that makes me so high)
And you know the way I am
I'm kind of lousy
I'm kind of crazy
9 of 10 I'm a fool to you
I can't believe you would let me
Win you over

Have you until tonight met someone quite as I

09. The One

For you are the one

Monday, stuck on the highway
Can't stand the sunlight
Burning my pale skin, slowly
Can't wait to go, let tension grow
My V8 knows I want to escape

Taking the fast lane
Living on the edge
Breaking the law again

You light my fire, burning me up
Enough to wake up the woman I am
For thousand hours, taming my thunder
Making me hunger
For you are the one

Tuesday, just me and the horizon
I miss your kisses
Like yesterday
My V8 pumps my blood again

Taking the fast lane
Living on the edge
Breaking the law again

You light my fire, burning me up
Enough to wake up the woman I am
For thousand hours, taming my thunder
Making me hunger
For you are the one

The road is getting longer and longer
It's like I'll never reach the end
I'm on the road that leads to nowhere
I'm driving to get home to you
I long to see your face

You light my fire
Burning me up
Enough to wake up the woman I am
For thousand hours, taming my thunder
Making me hunger
For you are the one
You light, you light my fire, you light,
you light my fire
You light my fire, burning me up
For you are the one
For you are the one
You light my fire, you light my fire
For you are the one

10. Resurrection

You're asking for reasons, don't understand
My choice my decisions, why do I rush to decide?
You can't revive a heart that's died and turned to stone
Make it undone
I wish I could tell you that I'll be alright

Forgive me for leaving, not to be found
I'll watch from a distance, you'll never know I'm around
I wish I could spare you from hurting inside

Seconds turn to minutes, turn to hours, turn too late
Got to figure out the riddle, give it one more day

Don't blame me forever
The choice is my own
Don't hate me, tomorrow
When I'm gone
Here it comes
My resurrection

Would you recognize me if I returned here?
Been gone for a decade, frozen in time it appears
You'll carry the memories, I'll carry your pain

Seconds turn to minutes, turn to hours, turn too late
Got to figure out the riddle, give it one more day

Don't blame me forever
The choice is my own
Don't hate me, tomorrow
When I'm gone
Here it comes
My resurrection

I am ready now for the first time in my life
Got a second chance but the time is running out
Don't cry
I'm fine
There's so many things left undone

Don't blame me forever
The choice is my own
Don't hate me, tomorrow
When I'm gone
Here it comes
My resurrection

You're asking for reasons don't understand
Resurrection
Resurrection
Resurrection
My resurrection

11. Waiting For The 27th (Booh Prologue)

I stumble through cracks
The heat on my feet is unbearable
These poor souls condemned
Bleeding and pleading for mercy
I can't stand them
I can't stay here
The master of me
Won't let me out of this hell hole
You're condemned
He rules and he gluts
Feeds of our sorrows until the end of time

Oh well what's a royal ball?
Completely wonderful or dull?
But sadly not for me
Arches made of golden vows
And cotton candy looking clouds
How sweet that nectar seems

While the heavens are waiting
I'll be here in the dark
While the angels are sleeping
No one cares for my heart oh no
Waiting for the 27th
Waiting for the 27th

I sneak pass the guards
Gently as I brush my hair doll
Down in Hell
Now here is this man
Making my knees tremble storm clouds
No way out
Dance with me hun'
Laugh with me hun'
Michael kissed my hand
Now we are bound to eternity

I deceived you but my heart
Speak the language, twisted love
It's different from everything I've ever known
Would the angels arm for war
Down in hell the lava boils
If only they knew

While the heavens are waiting
I'll be here in the dark
While the angels are sleeping
No one cares for my heart but you
You

12. Black September

You can't kill my heart, it's dead
Oh don't try to guess my name
It's way more than trick or treat
I'm from hell no damn picnic

They say evil leads nowhere
But see there it got me here
I bet you can fall for me
Just as easy as pretty please

I must fight you with me the strengths
of hundred thousand gods
I'm afraid if I look at you I might turn to stone

Look straight in my eyes
We cannot linger this black September
I'm tired of lusting cause of you
We can not prevail
Come down November, December
I'm telling you now
We cannot continue this charade no
So much to loose, nothing to win
Unless, unless we're both cut

So they lived ever happily
But that's not written for me
Kings and Queens should always be
Like the fairytales we read

Its ironic how forbidden fruit
Always grows in knowledge trees
Just a bite won't hurt a bit
We will share like lions will

I must fight you with the strengths
of hundred thousand gods
Oh sometimes when you loose, you win
I'm afraid if I look at you I might turn to stone

Look straight in my eyes
We cannot linger this black September
I'm tired of lusting cause of you
We can not prevail
Come down November, December
I'm telling you now
We cannot continue this charade no
So much to loose, nothing to win
Unless, unless we're both cut

The cut is so deep
It feels like a winter always grows inside of me
My lips are dry shut
But yet your soft kiss bitterly liberating me
My hands are so cold
I can't wait until you will be holding them again
The cut is so deep
It's feeding my hunger for your skin against my skin
I can't let you go

Look straight in my eyes
We cannot linger this black September
I'm tired of lusting cause of you
We can not prevail
Come down November, December
I'm telling you now
We cannot continue this charade no
So much to loose, nothing to win
Unless, unless we're both cut

Monday always starts up with a bang
Tuesday always ends up with an accident
Waiting for the black September
Hope that my body does not dismember

13. Phantom Pain

He's the warmth
I must feed on
Hand some warrior
Fair monster

Sleeping while awake laughing when I'm sad
Forbidden to breathe forbidden to feel
My freedom, my freedom
Turn me inside out, turn my outside in
Would you let me go,
would you let me win my wings back?

Tell me how to grow old here without you
There's something missing, phantom pain
It's like salt on my wounds to remind me
My black heart never beat again
May this selfish deed wake up the dead
Forgive my sweet but reckless care
How am I to be strong when it's raining?
My eyes are pouring in phantom pain

Mercy me
Hear my prayer
Evil slumbers
No fool's gold

Turn me inside out, turn my outside in
Would you let me go,
would you let me win my wings back?

Tell me how to grow old here without you
There's something missing, phantom pain
It's like salt on my wounds to remind me
My black heart never beat again
May this selfish deed wake up the dead
Forgive my sweet but reckless care
How am I to be strong when it's raining?
My eyes are pouring in phantom pain

Carrying a ball and a chain
We're kept in our worlds with no pardon
Carefully going insane
Like a prisoner
Kept in a bottle
I break these devil chains

Where's the silver?
Your fee paid
Charon takes you to earth
Don't tell Hade
Styx is waiting
Row faster
You can never return
Who cares
He's waiting, my warrior

Tell me how to grow old here without you
There's something missing, phantom pain
It's like salt on my wounds to remind me
My black heart never beat again
May this selfish deed wake up the dead
Forgive my sweet but reckless care
How am I to be strong when it's raining?
My eyes are pouring in phantom pain

I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming back for you

Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it's gone right my head

Shh! Bye, bye, lullaby
