walk with me, and see the world I see
it is our home - it's where we all belong

life is flair; a brittle dress we wear
A fleeting sigh, but though pointless it may seem;
live as death were but a dream

you don't have to walk their way
you don't have to watch the show
you don't have to play their game
and you don't have to die to leave entropia

all remains: forgotten smiles in frames
two fleeting lives cut down to pocket-size

walk with me and change the world we see
we'll cease to be just people passing by
home is where we all get by

you don't have to cry for more
you don't have to have it all
you don't have to win a war
if death is but a dream
then don't let me...
...fall asleep

I lie awake watching your shoulders
Move so softly as you breathe

With every breath you're growing older
But that is fine if you're with me

I pledge to wake you with a smile
I pledge to hold you when you cry
I pledge to love you till I die
Till I die...

The rays of dawn play on your eyelids
A sleeping beauty dressed in sun

This bed is all, this room eternal
A world persisting when we're long since gone

I will wake you with a smile
I will hold you when you cry
I will love you till I die
Till I die

this world is what we can give
scarred from the way we lived
all those dreams we shared for you
how I wish they could come true

we dreamed of a world in peace
but killed for a life of ease
now we leave the wounds for you
what else can the dying do?

(we were too weak protest or to care)
our ugly lies will outnumber by far
your beautiful dreams
you must close your eyes

(you'll pay in soul for the cutting of our loss)
will your eyes be mine the day when you regret
when you pay our debts to recover life
to recover life...

once there was a world
out on these fields
that was untouched
grateful for its love
we thanked the earth
that gave so much
and oh, I loved it so
once there was a pair of eyes
unbroken just like my heart
belonging to a father and his son
now torn apart
and oh, I loved him so

why, mommy, tell me why daddy
is walking away, leaving me

I remember birds of prey
dark shadows piercing the ground
faceless men came shouting
about a pride
to which we were bound
and oh, I searched for him so
faith darling, have faith my son
our daddy is winning a war...
...for you...

daddy need me, love and lead me
your superseding war won't feed me

watch fathers and sons pale cling to their guns
marching line by line leaving reason behind
Their eyes now tense with fear enemies are near
but all armies are only fathers and sons

earth bleeding through their proceeding
All greedy vultures are needing
WAR!
dad, who is winning a war?
and dad, who is it for?
I won't shed a tear, I won't show no fear
won't disappoint you dad
(all greedy voltures need war)
I won't miss you dad...

daddy need me, love and lead me
Your superseding war won't feed me...

I thought I'd seen hell
thought I knew it all
now I know too well
hell is to wake up
but it makes all the difference

tasting the tears in my mouth
taking the weight on my shoulders
the hours and days of your life
don't necessarily make you older

I'm sick of running away
along these blood stained streets
I'm sick of predators and prey
of being everybody's end

I've washed my hands
of your blood
thought it would leave me clean
but with time on my hands
it turned to mud
forming this crust of sin

now - to be truly free
I'll let it come to me
so - break me if you must
when you break this crust
freedom is to see

hear this voice, see this man
standing before you I'm just a child
just a man learning to yield

I hate these hands soaked in blood
I hate what these eyes have seen
up to my knees in filth and mud
how it hurts to become clean

I was always on my mind
but never on my side
so run - but if you run away
you'll always have to hide
so if you need to run
run for help

Instrumental

sleep is too quiet, dreams are too painful, truth is the bed of this ocean of lies
sinking through layers of untouched oblivion, soaking from spirits but still far too dry
losing all barbed fences - lucid, no defences

“where is my mother?” the child asked the soldier, the soldier was watching them both fade away
nine words create an oblivion ocean; “dad tell me, will I be dead very long?”
losing all I lived for - losing all I fought for

promised land...
when life is wearing thin we pray; the gods are close at hand when man is astray
but when it all is said and done, is he to thank the gods for just taking his son?

oh god if you save them
I swear I'll always hold them in my hand
oh god if you save them I'd take them west
we'd start again then

oh god if you save them
I swear I'll always hold them in my hand
oh god if you save them I'd take them west
we'd start again in...

...the promised land

let me go, let me go, let me seek the answers that I need to know,
let me find a way, let me walk away, through the Undertow, please let me go
let me fly, let me fly, let me rise against that blood-red velvet sky,
let me chase it all; break my wings and fall, probably survive, so let me fly, let me fly...
let me run, let me run, let me ride the crest of chance into the sun
you were always there, but you may lose me here, now love me if you dare, and let me run

I'm alive and I am true to my heart now - I am I, but why must truth always make me die?

let me break, let me bleed, let me tear myself apart I need to breathe!
let me lose my way, let me walk astray, maybe to proceed, just let me bleed
let me drain, let me die, let me break the things I love I need to cry!
let me burn it all, let me take my fall, through the cleansing fire, now let me die
let me die, let me out, let me fade into that pitch black velvet night...

“please let me be yours please never leave
please stay here close to me
all love we shared where is it now?
please let me be better than I was
please don't give up on us
the thought of leaving you
I do not know how”

“I can feel the pain you have inside
I see it in your eyes
those eyes that used to shine for me
I can feel the wildness in your heart
that's tearing us apart
my love how can I help
if you don't want me”

there is nothing you can do to help me now
I am lost within myself as so many times before
there's nothing you can do to ease my pain
I am so, so sorry but if you love me you must let go

two young souls in the dance of a chain sling
love once born from the ink of Solitude
bidding to dance in the swing of a rope end
walking their Remedy Lane through this
...interlude of pain

who will be there now? when I lose my one true love?
(when I lose my love)
I am falling now - darkness below and above

there is nothing you can do to help me now
I am lost within myself as so many times before
there's nothing you can do to ease my pain
I am so, so sorry but if you love me you must let go

two young souls in the dance of a chain sling
love once born from the ink of Solitude
bidding to dance in the swing of a rope end
walking their Remedy Lane through this
...interlude of pain

who will be there now? when I lose my one true love?
(I am falling now)
have I lost myself? to love someone else...

“please let me be yours please never leave
please stay here close to me
all love we shared where is it now?
please let me be better than I was
please don't give up on us
the thought of leaving you...”

...I DO NOT KNOW HOW

day after day, nothing's changed you're far away
but I want you to know I can't sleep anymore
by the nights
night after night the stars are shining so bright
though my pain is larger than Universe tonight

want you to know I can't sleep anymore
by the nights, by the nights
day after day I want you to say
that you're mine, you are mine

year after year, oh, tear after tear
it feels like my heart will break in two
you came like a wind, I couldn't defend
you cut my heart so deeply the scars won't mend

I'll never believe in love anymore, after this, after this
can never change or re-arrange what we lost, what we lost

time after time I am wasting my time
living in a past where I was strong
but now I am gone, I leave no shadow when I'm alone
I'll stay forever in my dreams where you are near

want you to know I can't sleep anymore
by the nights, by the nights
day after day I want you to say
that you're mine, you are mine
want you to know I can't sleep anymore
by the nights, by the nights
day after day I want you to say
that you're mine, you are mine

you claim I don't know you, but I know you well
I read in those ash eyes we've been through hell
I've walked with the weakest just to feel strong
you've given your body just to belong

let's burn together, let's burn together (baby)

this pain will never end
these scars will never mend

I taste your sorrow and you taste my pain
drawn to each other for every stain
licking the layers of soot from your skin
your tears work my crust to let yourself in

touching you harder, touching you harder now

as we walk through the ashes I whisper your name
a taste of pain to cling to
as we walk through the ashes you whisper my name
who's the one with the sickest mind... now?

this pain will never end
our s-s-s-scars will never mend
cleansing sweat
we are just using each other, too depraved to stay alive
but too young to die
and we hurt - thus we hurt

scrubbing it harder, too late to back out now
scrubbing it even harder
oh yeah, I'll be scrubbing

as we walk through the ashes I whisper your name
a taste of pain to cling to
as we walk through the ashes you whisper my name
who's the one with the sickest mind now?

this pain will never end
these scars will never mend
damn this dirty bed
damn this dirty head
