01. Watching The Night Sky

LYRICS01. Watching The Night Sky  I only regret chances I did not take And decisions that I waited too long to make There comes a time when you just realise Who and what really matters to you in this life Always connected but so far away The suffering and passion that we have each day Feeling the pain of the absence of you Each night we look up at the same sky Watching the night sky However far I am away from you now I swear that there is nothing that I won't get through Stars in the night sky can guide us both home To our hope and our truth and to where we belong Always connected but so far away The suffering and passion that we have each day Feeling the pain of the absence of you Each night we look up at the same sky Watching the night sky Always connected but so far away The suffering and passion that we have each day Feeling the pain of the absence of you Each night we look up at the same sky Watching the night sky 02. Madness And Sorrow Through madness and sorrow Walking hell for a mile I vow to myself I'll always look back and smile When inside I'm burning This can always be said Here and now I stand with my Head held high 'til I'm dead I won't Take More Madness and Sorrow Back to the wall Feeling hell in my head Holding a hand Of the devil's own deck Deal back the cards And now I'll take my turn Throw back three sixes and watch the world burn There's a malignant feeling That's born in my head With all this black inertia Could we be seen as dead Through the storms and the battles Of my life I have found My primal born instinct is never to be held down I won't Take More Madness and Sorrow Back to the wall Feeling hell in my head Holding a hand Of the devil's own deck Deal back the cards And now I'll take my turn Throw back three sixes and watch the world burn 03. 1633 What is the reason God blessed me with sight? And shows me these signs in the sky Where my observations are now leading me I am just so afraid to describe My certainty The centre of the universe is the earth The Holy Father has decreed But I believe this heliocentric truth Will they burn me for what I believe? In holy flame be purified In holy flame How can all this be offensive to God? Who created all that I see How can I deny what I know to be real? Will they burn me for what I believe? In holy flame be purified Injuring the holy faith with my blasphemy I will face torment, and I will taste pain I will be purified in holy flames I pray for my salvation Offending the Holy Church with my heresy Before this court and before Holy God I beg for mercy please forgive my sin I pray for salvation This fact cannot be disputed The centre of all creation is here No debating and no discovery Pray for my salvation I abjure curse and detest all my errors They are contrary to the Holy Scriptures I recant for everything I have said Pray for my salvation And so we turn And so we turn Turning in a circle in a circle round the sun 04. God Of Speed Twisting the grip of the beast you've created Alive in the seconds that you burn away You taste the fear and you're feeling the danger Danger inside that you know is the spice of your life 25 years you have dreamt of a moment A moment that puts you in this place on earth Heroes make legends on this holy ground To race against legends you traveled halfway round the world Your face in the wind You give this offering To the god of speed This is what you need To live your life Living your lifetime When you ride You're living your life You live your life Living your lifetime When you ride You live your life in the wind All of your life you thought that you'd do something Do something big and not just fade away You are too old, your machine is outdated You won't let that stop you following through on your dream Your face in the wind You give this offering To the god of speed This is what you need To live your life Living your lifetime When you ride You're living your life You live your life Living your lifetime When you ride You live your life in the wind Living each day like it could be your last You regret nothing, it's all in the past You just don't know if tomorrow will come So everything you want to do you get done You make no excuse or try to justify Anything that you have done in your life Living more in five minutes when you ride Than some people do in the whole of their life Living your lifetime When you ride You're living your life You live your life Living your lifetime When you ride You live your life in the wind 05. City Of Bones The flood of death all around But from your soul is the sound The sound of defiance and pride To prove your spirit's alive The seventh symphony calls To beyond city walls Surrounded for 900 days But you will never give way You fight You stand and fight Fight for your life Stand and fight, stand and fight, for your life Frozen so hard is the ground The fallen lay all around A great patriotic war Starvation taking you all Eat anything to survive Because you refuse to die Dying and dead everywhere But you refuse to dispair You fight You stand and fight Fight for your life Stand and fight, stand and fight, for your life Don't take a single step back While you are under attack You stand against tyranny With just your humanity You stand, your backs to the wall Forsaken ready to fall You won't surrender your pride Your pride is holding the line You fight You stand and fight Fight for your life Stand and fight, stand and fight, for your life 06. Faceless Can you spend your life, a man that no-one ever hates? Can you just fit in with everything, another face? Never challenging or disturbing the status quo You try to fit in and you just keep your status low If you think you're beaten You will be beaten down If you think you're losing You have lost it all If you think you're beaten You will be beaten down Why do you try to be a man A man that no-one hates You just accept that where you are is where you'll always be Always being, there's a madness of its own you see In quiet desperation you live, no-one ever knows The suffering you bear so you can be a tortured soul If you think you're beaten You will be beaten down If you think you're losing You have lost it all If you think you're beaten You will be beaten down Why do you try to be a man A man that no-one hates Oh oh oh oh No-one knows your name A faceless man Just yourself to blame Oh oh oh oh You're suffering again A faceless man A man that no-one hates When you are not there you wonder what it is they say They despise your unobtrusive humble, subtle ways From contempt to loathing into hatred it's too late By trying to fit in you failed to be a man that no-one hates If you think you're beaten You will be beaten down If you think you're losing You have lost it all If you think you're beaten You will be beaten down Why do you try to be a man A man that no-one hates Oh oh oh oh No-one knows your name A faceless man Just yourself to blame Oh oh oh oh You're suffering again A faceless man A man that no-one hates Oh oh oh oh No-one knows your name A faceless man Just yourself to blame Oh oh oh oh You're suffering again A faceless man A man that no-one hates 07. Time To Dare Something is happening that I can't explain I can feel myself changing but I don't know why Something familiar that I've never seen A confusing sensation inside Beneath the human kingdom From the realm of dreams What does it mean? Dangerous messengers start to appear They are threatening everything I think I have Threatening destruction of the world I made With desire to know my true self Beneath the human kingdom From the realm of dreams What does it mean? Time to dare Face the end of all that I thought I was Face the change Signs of the mystery living in me Time to dare Face the end of all that I thought I was Face the change A long asleep giants slowly awakes in me Dreams Night after night I wonder what they mean Night after night I wonder what I'm seeing Night after night there's something haunting me Terror Now in daylight The terror I now see is real Terror The terror of leaving all that I know behind The promise and terror of everything is revealed The terror of leaving all that I know Face the change A long asleep giants slowly awakes in me 08. Surrounded By Sadness Forsaking every other thing Leaving uncertainties behind From the loneliness and the dark I came into your light No more sadness surrounding me My heart is beating its last beat As I am breathing my last breath For what I could not live without Has gone and will not come again Surrounded by sadness 09. The Trace Of Things That Have No Words Nothing can numb this pain, nothing can fill this void Nothing can heal this wound, nothing can hide this scar Nothing is what I have, nothing is all that's left Nothing is what I am, if I am without you Looking down at my feet, why do they move at all? Looking down at my hands, why do they work at all? I hear the words I speak, why can I speak at all? If I can't speak to you, why can I speak at all? I won't give up this pain, the pain of what I lost I don't want to be healed, why do they even try? Pain is all I have left to tell me this was real Pain is the only thing left I can feel My scars I show you know, my scars They prove my life was real, my scars Here on my face, here on my arms Lines from a play, you were the star You see them now, you see my truth The way I lived, I lived for you These scars proved my life was real Now you can see my face, now you can hear my words Now can you understand how I traced out my world? Why must I face this life? Why am I here alone? Where did the future go? Why am I here alone? My scars I show you know, my scars They prove my life was real, my scars Here on my face, here on my arms Lines from a play, you were the star You see them now, you see my truth The way I lived, I lived for you These scars proved my life was real 10. Letting Go Of The World Everything I love has been taken I wonder what reason I have to live Desperately I have searched for a meaning Is it now time for me to let go of the world Letting go of the world The future that I began to believe in Seemed so certain, I thought it was mine That was where and how I would be living A complete human being with a soul That was only a dream in a nightmare And the nightmare is where I now live Empty life, empty hours without meaning Hours of madness that make me let go of the world Letting go of the world The revelation of my transformation Is both a shock and a comfort to me Leaving behind their conventional wisdom Their rules that govern the way I should be The narcissist and the father believing That they should be worshipped and obeyed By the lost overwhelmed and bewildered But for me it is time to let go of the world Letting go of the world Why should I live by rules that I did not make? So that people I don't know will accept me I don't care who they are, I don't care These hypocrites preaching all of this nonsense Reject me, they don't know who or what I am I don't care who they are, I don't care Fight, kill, fuck eat, fight, kill, fuck eat I just don't care who they are Fight, kill, fuck eat, fight, kill, fuck eat I just don't care who they are Letting go of the world Letting go of the world Letting go of the world Letting go of the world Letting go of the world Letting go of the world 11. Comfortable In Darkness I let go of the world I let go of the light Then I fell towards memories of the dead To the blackness I fell I was lost, I was scared And alone with the memories of the dead Every single step I fear to take No light at all and no end in sight I must find my way I must find my way Now that I'm living here And there's nowhere to go Speaking to me are memories of the dead How to cope and endure And survive all of this I must listen to memories of the dead And if that's true, is all of this in my head? If it is I can choose What I think, what I feel These things I fear are only real in my head Now I found the choices I can take I choose to rule my fear and not to break I will master my own darkness There is no step that I now fear to take The world within me, is mine to create My fate is in my own hands Now I understand How it can be, how I can see, how I can find a way To be comfortable in darkness To be comfortable in darkness Victory of myself, by myself over me To be comfortable in darkness In darkness |
