Furious Angels
Like a sentence to death
I've got no options left
I've got nothing to show now
I'm down on the ground
I've got seconds to live
And you can't go now
Cause love, like an invisible bullet has shot me down and I'm bleeding - yeah, I'm bleeding
And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me
You're a dirty needle
You're in my blood and there's no curing me
And I want to run
(like the blood from a wound)
To a place you can't see me
Cause love, like a blow to the head, has left me stunned and i'm reeling - yeah, I'm reeling
And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me
You're a cold piece of steel between my ribs and there's no saving me
And I can't get up from this wet crimson bed that you made for me
Cause love, like a knife in the back, has cut me down and I'm bleeding - yeah, I'm bleeding
And if you go, angels will run to defend me - to defend me
Cause i can't get up
I'm as cold as a stove
I can feel the life fade from me
I'm down on the ground
I've got seconds to live
Then what's there that waits for me?
Cause love, like a sentence of death has left me stunned, and i'm reeling - yeah, i'm reeling
And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me
Left Me For Dead
You didn't stop to look round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on you're way
And no prayer was said
You left me for dead
You didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
You left me for dead
And I say I won't stop no 'till hell is your home
There's no where to hide (no nowhere)
You'll feel the cold of my gun at you're head
Ah you left me for dead
And it's not like you stayed by my side or you called me a priest
You searched through my mouth to check for gold teeth
you were pawning my shoes as i bled
You left me for, left me for, left me, for
Dead
You kept on taking your time
Until it was certain i couldn't survive
Judas remained, you turned and fled
You left me for dead
And it didn't trouble your mind
It did not disturb you to see me decline
You turned out my lights
You put me to bed
You left me for dead
(And i say) that I won't rest my head until hell is your home
You'll think that you're safe but oh no
You'll feel the cold of my gun hit your head
Ah you left me for dead
And you didn't stay close to me didn't stay by my side
I was choking in blood as delight filled your eyes
You're gonna burn for each word that you said
Cause you
Left me for, left me for, left me me for
Dead
But I don't want to search no more
There's nowhere to hide
So why don't you come quietly my love
I wanted to say, to say that you sure proved the death of me
Now i've reached a dead end, and i can't go back
But if i'm going down you'll come with me...
You didn't stop to look round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on you're way
And no prayer was said
‘Cause you left me for dead
You didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
You left me for dead
I'm Not Driving Anymore
You tell me I can't slow down
You tell me where I've gotta be
I speed into the darkness
But I swear that I can't see a thing in front of me
You know it's true
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
You're closing in behind me
I've got headlights in my eyes
Don't you get too close to me
Can't you see that we'll collide and end up casualties
There's just no room
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
So leave me on my own
Run me down and race away from me
I've got nowhere to go to
I don't think I can get back on my feet, back on my feet
You came right out of nowhere
Eyes wide and terrified
And I can't put my brakes on
I can't swerve to save your life cause then I'll lose control
And I can't choose
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
So leave me on my own
Run me down and race away from me
I've got nowhere to go to
I don't think I can get back on my feet, back on my feet
Get me out of harm's way
Can't you see I'm paralyzed
I wanna fade out gracefully
But you keep keeping me alive to face another day
Can't you see I'm through
I'm not driving anymore, I can't keep up with you, can't keep away
Tell me how long have I got, I wanna to end this earthly toil -'Till this
diet life expires
I wanna go swimming in the soil and not come up for breath - Sit in God's
room
I'm not driving anymore - I can't keep up with you
I'm unfit for consumption
I don't know how to play my part
I swear I'm alone in this thing, I'm a blind man driving my car
Into oblivion, let it come soon, I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
There's Only Me
You're all I want
All I need
You're all I've got
All I see
It won't be long
'Til suddenly
You find he's gone
And you turn around and see
There's only me
For whom there's silence in your heart
There's only me
Waiting patient to the last
You wait and see
One day your love will surely start
You'll turn around
You'll find when everyone departs, there's only me
You walk in the room
You take your seat
You don't turn around
You don't see me
I'll make him go
You'll find one day he'll disappear
You'll turn around
And find that not a soul is here
There's only me
For whom there's silence in your heart
There's only me
Waiting patient to the last
You wait and see
One day your love will surely start
You'll turn around
You'll find when everyone departs, there's only me
Only me
Only me
only me
only me
only me
only me
only me
only me
only me
only me
only me
there's only me
you wait and see
you'll turn around
you'll find when everyone departs
there's only me
Nothing At All
I wanna be still
I wanna walk into your grave
Where I can settle in peace
‘Till all our cares are blown away
Yeaaaah…
Let the whole world fall away
And fall into my arms
Stay with me
I don't know how long we've got left
And so I'm asking you
To forgive me
I learn as I go
To float far away
Into silence
And just watch your face
And find some kind of grace
In that quiet bliss
Can I stay and say nothing at all. Work each day, all for nothing at all…
Where will we go when we get old
When the bustle and the noise
Get too frightening
When each and every angry word
Is banished to the past
That’s when I think...
We'll learn as we go
To float far away
Into silence
And I'll watch your face
And find of patience and grace
In each line there
I can stay for nothing at all….at all…
And the words I say…they mean nothing…
Will you walk into the grave with me
Will you leave this empty world
Soft and wistful
To sink into the dark, dank earth
And never reappear would be blissful
To float far away
Into eternal space
And God's silence
Where I'll watch your face
And find patience and grace
In each line there
Drift away…into nothing at all..at all..
Find the grace to be nothing at all…at all
Fade away and end up nothing at all.
At all, at all, at all
Born Yesterday
moj favorit
She thinks that I was born yesterday
She thinks that I go out with the tide and fade at the end of the day
She thinks that my hairs aren't numbered
And when pricked I don't cry in pain
Just cause I smile like a child born yesterday
And she thinks that I was born in another age
She thinks I get up with the sun and dream my life away
And she thinks that I cause I'm saying nothing that I've got nothing to say
Just cause I smile like a child born yesterday …
Born yesterday…
Born yesterday…
Born yesterday…
Born yesterday…
And she thinks that I was born yesterday
She thinks that I came into this world (born without a name)
And she thinks that I’m going nowhere cause I stay in one place
And cause I smile like a child born yesterday…
Born yesterday…
Born yesterday…
Born yesterday…
Born yesterday…
Born yesterday…
Speed Me Towards Death
Speed me towards death
Cause I just can't wait for her
I want her to come
I want to embrace her
I've decided it's life
That I don't like - that I don't like
Speed me towards death
Cause I think she'd go for me
They say time is the killer
I can't wait he's too slow for me
I've tried all the rest
Now I want to try the best
And I'd die for some company
I'd die for some company
I don't want to die slowly
I don't want to decay
I want to be chosen
I want to be made
I don't want to die lonely and weary of life
I will not be earthbound
I'm gonna fly
So speed me towards death
Cause I want her to taste me
You know my senses are dead
I want her to awaken me
I've realised that this world (at it's best)
Is just a prelude to the next
And it's not one I want to hear
It's not one I want to read
I don't want to die slowly
I don't want to decay
I want to be chosen
I want to be made
I don't want to die lonely and weary of life
I will not be earthbound
I 'm gonna fly
For life is a game fit only for fools
It's a horse that can't win
In a race rigged to lose
So speed me towards death
Drinking Song
I want to weave a musical spell
That leaves you unwell and thinking of me everyday
I want to play you a tune that leaves you marooned and troubled
Each time I'm away
Is there a melody - that could lead you to me - like a lullabied child lead to sleep?
So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine
And softly i'd kiss you and weep
I want to write a simple song thats so frequently sung
That you call me to have the thing banned
Who's sound so endears that whole nations cheer and sigh
When you you take my hand
Is there a melody - that could lead you to me - like a lullabied child lead to sleep?
So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine
And softly I'd kiss you and weep
For i'm a gambler that just wants to lose and be allowed to leave
I'm a traveller - with one last mile my journey is complete
I'm like a swallow that wants one long last look before flying east
Last on my list - and then i quit - to kiss your lips and weep
I want to play a silver note that fills you with hope
And tames you to feed from my hand
A turquoise chord that invites you to soar
And fly to a faraway land
A symphony that gently leads you to sit and be still with me
And grief doesn't frighten me
At it's worst it delights me
Cause I want to kiss you and weep
For I'm a gambler that just wants to lose and be allowed to leave
I'm a traveller - with one last mile my journey is complete
I'm like a swallow that wants one long last look before flying east
Last on my list - and then I quit - to kiss your lips and weep
Is there a melody - that could lead you to me - like a lullubied child lead to sleep?
So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine
And softly I'd kiss you and weep
So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine
And softly I'd kiss you and weep
One And The Same
Well I
Keep on waiting
For you to say
That your wait is over
And you've woken up in clover
Yeah
We're one and the same
Seems like
It's never ending
But good lights the way
Let's keep believing
That we're one
That we're one and the same
One and the same
Salvation, see it lights the way
Each time we see heaven
It slips away
So keep believing
Don't come undone
Keep on dreaming
Our day will come
We're one and the same
Two birds adrift on the wind
As life slips away
Let's keep believing
That we're one and the same
One and the same
Let's start living
Seize the day
Can't miss heaven
It's a step away
Let's keep persisting
Another day
Let's keep believing
Come what may
We're one and the same
Two hopeless dreamers
Wasting away
God has an order
We'll find a way
One and the same
One and the same
