Ashes Fall
04:25
|
|||
Take a breath and take my hand,
and watch the city burn and turn to sand
A long time coming but we're here,
and we've manufactured our deepest fears
Hold tight to me,
the end we didn't see
It only takes a minute of your life,
to hear the call
her Ashes Fall
There's a greed that kills,
it fills our minds
No longer blind
It's time to survive
A fire burns inside our eyes
An image of the end, blackened out skies
A phoenix rises from the flames
A new beginning to clean our shame
Hold tight to me,
the end we didn't see
It only takes a little time
to hear the call
her Ashes Fall
When we roll the dice,
smile at the world's demise
I'm feeling so alive
It's time to, survive

Dance with the Devil
03:20
|

Your eyes, defy -
my sweet scent of lies
Forked tongue invites -
lust and fire
Oh, oh I am overcome -
you enslave me
You make me want to die
I, I better hold on tight
I'm going to spend it all tonight
When you dance with the devil
When you dance with the devil,
you'll get burnt
Smooth lines
Shape time
One song and i belong
Spread wide, divide
You're my demise
Oh, oh I am overcome -
you enslave me
You make me want to die
I, I better hold on tight
I'm going to spend it all tonight
When you dance with the devil
When you dance with the devil,
you'll get burnt

Rule of 9
03:29
|
|||
There's a time to contemplate,
that certain kind of love and hate
which keeps us alive
When the penny drops -
love changes its face, changes shape
and now there's just hate,
so much hate
With a Rule of 9,
you've taken my life
Taken my, taken my all - my all
And it leaves me blind, blind to the facts
with the challenge of mending my life, my life
Down to round three,
some people are just not meant to be,
believe you and me
A change in the tune,
you've sold me out,
without a doubt this sickening feeling throughout
With a Rule of 9,
you've taken my life
Taken my, taken my all - my all
And it leaves me blind, blind to the facts
with the challenge of mending my life, my life
I feel the burn inside
I reach for something more
Go save yourself, till the end
With a Rule of 9,
you've taken my life
Taken my, taken my all - my all
And it leaves me blind, blind to the facts
with the challenge of mending my life, my life
With a Rule of 9…

Leaving a Lie
02:26
|
|||
Where is your patience,
for all the time I’ve spent,
overcoming these obstacles met?
Trying harder to become that ideal you never were
Oh - and they decide
when do we hide our demons
Away from this hell
Hate all those
who break the doors of caring,
they cause this outrage
I'll be leaving a lie
Obey my son
You're not the only one
‘cause it's a revolution
Force your will
on those with no decisions,
and decide on their path
Take all that
I hold deep inside me,
then serve to the pigs
I'll be leaving a lie
Obey my son
You're not the only one
‘cause it's a revolution
My faith - it leads me forward
and guides me through dark days
My path to discover
I'll be leaving a lie
Obey my son
You're not the only one
‘cause it's a revolution

Deadeye
03:22

Nothing's all that remains in a life
filled with no gain, see me die
Don't look to the future,
don't look to the past
Everything else seems to come last
Your haste is shy, save this high
Shadows whisper with fright
Come a little bit closer,
and turn on the light
Staring at your dead eyes,
there's no else to blame
Staring at your dead eyes,
you're my little piece of shame
Where we belong
Where we went wrong
The dark prevails,
over pieces of joy
My remorse, change my course
set things right, fill the gaps, feed the light
Help me notice you moving forward,
in your wicked plight
And flood it over,
rivers of lonely lies
Staring at your dead eyes,
there's no else to blame
Staring at your dead eyes,
you're my little piece of shame
Where we belong
Where we went wrong
Why? It dwindles gently
Why? The end of the line
Why? Set it tonight
Staying out of sight
Staring at your dead eyes,
there's no else to blame
Staring at your dead eyes,
you're my little piece of shame
Where we belong
Where we went wrong
Where we belong
What are we looking for?

Shape of my Heart
04:39
|
|||
He deals the cards as a meditation
and those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins,
he don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer,
the sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome,
the numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art,
but that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the Jack of diamonds
He may lay the Queen of spades
He may conceal a King in his hand,
while the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art,
but that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you,
you'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces -
the mask I wear is one
But those who speak know nothing,
and find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places,
and those who fear a loss
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art,
but that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

Madman
02:41

When he walks away in the distance,
and the night is erased from existence
I wonder where he’s coming from,
wonder if he truly belongs
A face that has lived, has lived a…
Sun blisters his hard wrinkled face as,
he moves without any traces
Showing everyone that it's possible,
a fall from grace is never impossible
A face that has lived, has lived a…
Madman!
Where’re you going, pioneer the way
Madman!
Off the edge and nothing left to say
Man with a past filled with happiness
sent plunging into the darkness
Drink, being a favourite past time,
never exclude the white line
A face that has lived, has lived a…
Madman!
Where’re you going, pioneer the way
Madman!
Off the edge and nothing left to say
Shout out
You break me
I feel doubt
Shaking
We start to build,
these broken walls
Do what we can,
to build a man
Madman!
Where’re you going, pioneer the way
Madman!
Off the edge and nothing left to say

Stand
04:21
|

Hey, leaving today
so far away, so far away
Been coming my way
here to stay, here to stay
Look to the words, see reactions
not mine, but those in question
Can never understand what makes them bent,
fueled by a dark intent
I am standing above the ground,
see a crowd that will never sing and never shout
I'm fading here on my own again
Drunken nights, set out to brawl
Mouthing it off and just making a fool
One emotion that creates destruction -
with one small opinion
Piss on the system of lies,
I am drinking to the desolation inside
I am listening to, but I feel it through
may I always be true to you
And I build on the things that I’m told,
and they take all the things that I hold
I am just a breaking down, I'm down
Taken hard, for all to see
No one cares, so why do I bleed?
Dragged through the trenches, called out to play
I am standing above the ground,
see a crowd that will never sing and never shout
I'm fading here on my own again
Never let it break you down, never let it take your sound
With all these feelings sitting lonely and I'm always drowned
Sell my soul - staying broke for free,
I cannot break these chains that tie
Longing to be free, I know I'll never be
I am standing above the ground,
see a crowd that will never sing and never shout
I'm fading here on my own again
I am standing here again
See a crowd that isn't there

Saving Hate
03:03
|
|||
When fear wakes up
The darkness steps a little closer to me
Strangling all the cold merciless signs of an enemy
Slowly, dealing, the pain so clear to see
This hate is sinking me deeper
I lost a friend called denial
Choked in, whole and defiled
This faith is not my favourite friend
Its call leads me to descend
I cannot be the only one
Killing something I have never won
On my own again
Saving Hate
I am lonesome and scared,
I am
Cold, hard, icy
It's just something we find in the night
Moving ahead, hear me scream
The cost is leaving it behind
Head and my heart work intent
Changing a hard fought defense
All this weight has got me beat
A hard fought fight in defeat
On my own again
Saving Hate
I am lonesome and scared,
I am
Walk alone in the dark
And never fear
That you are lost
And grow to something
I have never seen you
On my own again
Saving Hate
I am lonesome and scared,
I am

Fail to Claim
05:06
|

It’s just your waiting mind it calls
Oh we're here, we will not fear
It's creeping just ever so near
Fail!
Send it home
I will kill for you,
we would all
Feeling alive
Take it tonight,
and push it over the edge
Fail, fail to claim
We will lead you to open your minds again, my friend
Face somewhere warm, it pleases us
Oh it can wait, just one last time
Turn over new and leave it be
My waking eyes are burnt to see
Fail, fail to claim
We will lead you to open your minds again, my friend
I will break, I hear you screaming out
Find the time, where you will die
Make me high, I'm broken and blind
Fight my kind. when the darkness tries
Time to shine, in this essence defined
Destroy the signs, of the long white…you can believe
Fail, fail to claim
We will lead you to open your minds again, my friend
Fail, fail to claim
We will feel you fall off the edge far too easily
Life, take my life
I can feel your heaven dying in
the palm of my hand, I take the blame
Snuff out your living wish away, with my fail to claim
