Idle Hands - Mana lyrics



Tracks



01. Nightfall

Energy, running free, you know not that you come to me
In your eyes the fear is wild, you carry forth your precious child
Far away and far beyond, the furthest that you've ever gone
... and now you're lost, in the dying day, I will help you find your way

Ghouls, in the night, the judge is out there

Nightfall, the devils deed, give the child to me
Oh, Nightfall, he came to me, set the spirit free
Nightfall, beyond the gates, you will come to me
Give me the night, I feel the time ...and the devil's by my side

God is gone, dagger drawn, seconds now it won't be long
Fickle faith in a false lord, and now you get your just reward
Ecstasy, cut the risks, I cut the veins inside your wrists
Trinits, the wild hunt, to claim the child inside your cunt

So cold, next to me, your skin is cold

I see the knife (I see the knife)
Such precious life (the precious life)
You came to me (come to me)
Am I believe this (do you believe?)
A gift of mine (you'll be mine)
I kiss time (together)
The child dies

02. Jackie

I feel the summer breeze
I feel you touching me
Your loving face, just a memory
In a room behind my eyes
I wish you would go away
Give me your love I need you to stay
Quit your wicked ways

Oh Jackie, I miss when you were younger
Jackie, when I was younger too
Oh Jackie, to be with you forever
Jackie you, so beautiful to me

You're in my winter dreams
Alone on cold dark streets
Your frightened face staring back at me
...and we don't say a word
I lend you a helping hand
I lift you up and take you back
I tell you I understand
You turn to me and smile then you disappear

Oh Jackie, I miss when you were younger
Jackie, when I was younger too
Oh Jackie, to be with you forever
Jackie you, so beautiful to me but time passes on
And now you're gone

03. Cosmic Overdrive

When I find the highway, will you be there?
Are you waiting for me?
If I could bleed the vital octane, would you give your heart to me?
Out beyond the sun I see you shining

Machine! Take me out there!

I will drive, my whole life
Through desert plains, forbidden ancient highways
For an answer to this mystery
Across the sands of space and time
I push my cosmic engine into overdrive
I won't be the last alive

Another set of planets
Nothing here but endless desolation
I'm catching a connection
I've seen this place before
Frantically I check on my coordinate

But it can't be...
Going in circles again!

I opened my mind, and tried to find
But still denied, at least I tried
I'm too far behind, I can't survive
There's no one alive
And now I die

04. Don't Waste Your Time

A marker is lain on the space, you've chosen to place your grave
Saving your pennis, you're planning for death, why are you living?
You pray to a man above, to trade your confessions for love
There is no forgiveness you don't understand, you receive nothing

...and no one will hold you on the night
You're waiting to die
If you're looking for some peace of mind
Don't waste your time

You desperately want to see me, that you're doing better thanme
You want respect but I'll warrant you none. You deserve nothing
And please can you answer me why, you're not even willing to try?
Quitting again and you don't seem to care, absolute failure

You sit through the seasons of your life
Out of your mind
If you expect me to care when you're dying
Don't waste your time

On and on you live but you don't feel
Let the current take you where it will
You want me to speak but have not words to say
If we are equal why aren't we the same?

05. Give Me To The Night

Such a life without the light, do you fear to lose your sight?
Well it doesn't bother me, cause you don't see what I see
There's a devil in my mind and the mysteries of time revealed
In the dark I'm running free, give to me your energy

Oh, give me to the night, give me to the ages, take me away
Give me to the night, give me to the ages, the darkness is calling

I don't think of all the things that I will never be
I don't think of all the places that I will never see
And I won't get on my knees, for all the people I can't please
But it seems to be so easy for you, so do it by yourself!

Oh, give me to the night, give me to the ages, take me away
Give me to the night, give me to the ages, the darkness is calling my name
?again and again and again!

06. Blade And The Will

Wandering in darkness I can't help but feel I'm running out of time
and I don't want to fail again.
Seems to me that I'm the last man standing here, but I'm still alone, and there is no direction for me.

My idle hands hold on,
can't hold on, no.

Give me your blessing ancient fire,
give me the courage lift me higher,
give me the strength that I desire,
give me the knife.

Looking at the faceless aging faces all the dreams that dreamed to be,so suddenly familiar.
Running out of options I have no one and there's no need to explain, your foolish optimism to me.

My idle hands hold on,
can't hold on, no.

Give me your blessing ancient fire,
give me the courage lift me higher,
give me the strength that I desire,
give me the power.

07. Dragon, Why Do You Cry?

I searched for you, for a thousand years
in my heart, I find you here
Look at me, with your ancient eyes
Dragon, why do you cry?

I know you're getting older, you feel/fell behind but you're forgetting
The world is make-believe, you're still alive, you must keep dreaming

I dream of you, I dream of dragons
I'll make you real

I've cried these tears, for a thousand years
And no one cares, no one hears me
If you were me, you'd understand
Young man, I am not real

I know my time is over, the fantasy has all but faded
The world is moving on and they won't miss a lonely dragon

I don't believe, believe in dragons
I don't believe

No one cried on that fateful day
No holidays or grand parades
And why he came, it's hard to say
?but no one cared as he flew away

I dream of you I dream of dragons
I dream of you, I still believe
I still believe, believe in dragons
I'm flying free

08. Double Negative

Born to die, dead inside
I suffer through the hopeless hours and I can't reason why
Ice cold air, dark despair
Another year has passed me by and I just don't care

What if I could die? Would you be alright?
Would you suffer here without me?
Give me some time and I'll be fine
I don't want to die, but I'm going to try
'Cause I'm getting tired of counting hours

Death and pain, I missed the vein
And I just can't seem to get it right
I've got to try again
No love for me, just fantasy
Indifferent to your way of life, no difference to me

What if I could die? Would you be alright?
Would you suffer here without me?
Give me some time and I'll be fine
I don't want to die, but I'm going to try
'Cause I'm getting tired of living
Suicide, Suicide
I don't want to die, but I'm going to try
Get used to life without me
I don't want to be alive
You will be alright if you give it some time
But either way it doesn't matter

Let's see if I can fly

09. It'll Be Over Before You Know It

Ringing I hear the church bells, soft from miles away
Walking in the mire by our home again
Dreaming just yesterday, like lovers sometimes do
How can I dream without you, all alone?

Ashes in the water
Precious friend of mine
Peace without possession
For all time

Don't cry for me now, that I'm on my own
I'll be with you sooner than you know
Don't care for me now that I have to go
I'll be with you sooner than you know

10. A Single Solemn Rose

Give me some time I told you
means nothing to me now
I don't know why I thought you
would ever come around

Out beyond the tracks
A moments hesitation
How could I not see
I was only 17!

Can we cut the back and forth, it doesn't matter anymore
A gift for what its worth, alone, a single solemn rose
Before you go, know I don't love you anymore
Be careful what you wish for

When I give you a chance you use it
Yeah, you make things clear
You beat it and abuse it
I can tell that you don't care

Desperate with fear
Gripping tight to fantasy
I hate it when you're here
Sitting next to me

Can we cut the back and forth, it doesn't matter anymore
A gift for what its worth, alone, a single solemn rose
Before you go, know I don't love you anymore
Be careful what you wish for, just like me!

Just a waste of time
And I think you knew
But I'll be fine
Just like you

11. Mana

I see the mirror in your eyes again
Do I exist in it's reflection?
Is what I see, what I should believe?
You look at me, and you don't see at all

Fauna in the valley
or the eagle on the mountain
Sunset on the ocean
I'll miss you
For even seven days I try
On the seventh day I sigh
Cause heavens in my mind

Mana

Don't worry son I know you're sorry
I see the needle in your vein
I touch the cold heart of an innocent child
Into the lifeless eyes, only here a while

I see the sunshine, far away
I feel the days go by
I see the stars shine, far away
I feel the time
