2. Rule the World
When a new day reaches dawn
I feel it's worth the wait
But I tumble and I fall
I'm up against my fate
When the barricades come down
I'll build them up again
When I'm just about to drown
I still don't know the end
CHORUS:
Sometimes I tremble
Like a little child
Their faces mourning
With a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble
When they're chasing through
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world
When the morning come's alive
Release your love brigade
At the end of day it's night
To suck it up with hate
CHORUS:
Sometimes I tremble
Like a little child
Their faces mourning
With a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble
When they're chasing through
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world
Rule the world
[Solo]
CHORUS:
Sometimes I tremble
Like a little child
Their faces mourning
With a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble
When they're chasing through
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world
(Their faces mourning
With a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble
When they're chasing through
Sometimes I feel that
I could rule the world)
3. Ghost Opera
Once in a while
When your sorrows have a name
And day is dark as night
No remorse and no redemption
Close the door
Can you hear the crowd is waiting?
For the last encore
Screaming out for my attention
Chanting my name
CHORUS:
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rising from the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
This is my song
Like the dead
I am on the other side
There have it in my head
No remorse and no redemption
Hush my dear
Let the music fill the night
And soon it's all we hear
Screaming out for my attention
Chanting my name
Chanting my name
CHORUS:
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rising from the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
Don't wake me
Until it's over
I, I may be dreaming
And awake
solo.
Chanting my name
Chanting my name
CHORUS:
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rising from the orchestra
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rising from the orchestra
4. The Human Stain
See the cemetary sky
The problem red and deep
Watch the oceans rising high
It's the human stain
Talk about the growing hunger
Ask why we're deep concerned
Don't you think the human races
Sees ashly vain
CHORUS:
Well, it hurts to
A alive, my friend
In the summer time the drift
Will pass you by
Don't you wish you
We're a child again
Just for a minute
Just for a minute
Hear the ticking of a clock
The sound of life itself
No one really wants to die
To save the world
Tell me that your torn asunder
From how we fade to learn
And tell me if the Earth goes under
Where's your anger now
CHORUS:
So it hurts to
Be alive, my friend
In this masquerade where
All one day must die
Don't you wish you
We're a born again
Just for a minute
Just for a minute
solo.
Tick-Tack
The ticking at the tear asunder
The beating from a heart of stone
The lust of your devoidless sparity
CHORUS:
'Cause it costs to
Be alive, my friend
And this life fits someone
Many glee to you
Last to press your pain
Minute by minute
You beg for a minute
5. Blücher
Dim is the light of a war day
In the land of the undying sun
Hollow the silence around me
Distant the sound of a gun
Port side is close to the shore
I wonder where she is
Incoming shot cross the bow
Will she remember me
Vail my april moon
God forsaken soul
I remember you
Come with me tonight
Damned is the dawn of a war day
Revelations of dead and despair
Frost misty waters around me
Frantic and naked the fear
Port side is close to the shore
Incoming shot cross the bow
Say your prayers
Loud and clearly
All who still believe in god
6. Love You to Death
When they met she was fifteen
Like a black rose blooming wild
And she already knew she was gonna die
"What's tomorrow without you?
This is our last goodbye"
She got weaker every day
As the autumn leaves flew by
Until one day, she told him, "This is when I die"
"What was summer like for you?"
She asked him with a smile
"What's tomorrow without you?"
He silently replied
She said,
"I will always be with you
I'm the anchor of your sorrow
There's no end to what I'll do
Cause I love you, I love you to death"
But the sorrow went too deep
The mountain fell too steep
And the wounds would never heal
Cause the pain of the loss was more than he could feel
He said,
"I will always be with you
By the anchor of my sorrow
All I know, or ever knew,
Is I love you, I love you to death"
"What's tomorrow without you?
Is this our last goodbye?"
[Solo]
"I will always be with you
I'm the anchor of your sorrow
There's no end to what I'll do
Cause I love you"
7. Up Through the Ashes
So you can hear
They claim with conviction
You've got a crowd
So what's your appeal
Your voice, your predictions
They're getting loud
But if I let you die, you must forgive me
Raise me up, up through the ashes
Take me on, into the light
You want to die
Create a sensation
Be makin' the news
An eye for an eye
Mocking our creation
Can you reduce
Before I let you die, you must forgive me
Raise me up, up through the ashes
Take me on, into the light
[Solo]
Give a sign of remorse
(I don't need your blood)
You will hang on the cross
For playing god
You the people must decide
The self-proclaimed prophet, or the novice murderer
The king or the convict, it's up to you
So tell me which way to go
Raise me up, up through the ashes
Take me on, into the light
Raise me up, up through the ashes
Take me on, into the light
8. Mourning Star
Under fears you restore your beliefs,
Like an old man in church on a Sunday.
All the dirt on your elbows and knees,
Any minute you know you could die.
So come save us, turn water to wine,
Give me words, so that fact will go with them.
As I'm crossing the enemy's line,
Where the wounded and dead show the way.
(Show me the way)
Tell me when the man is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish beneath the mourning star.
How could there be a reason for war?
For the life of a human to suffer this?
I remember, I heard it before,
Tell me all when the new day begins.
(The new day begins)
Tell me when the man is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish beneath the mourning star.
When the victory is won,
The old cliché,
Underneath the same old mourning star.
(War, now tell me why)
(Cliché, you've heard all they say)
(Tell me why)
Tell me when the man is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish beneath the mourning star.
When the victory is won,
The old cliché,
Underneath the same old mourning star.
9. Silence of the Darkness
I don't dare to take it slowly,
Cause time may pass me by.
Restless like a newborn morning,
I am hard to satisfy.
Will you take me away?
In the silence of the darkness,
I can't pretend I'm wide awake,
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I scramble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.
I can paint the world with flowers,
Like war by heaven's gate.
Reckless like the stormy ocean,
I could cover them with hate.
But it all sounds the same.
In the silence of the darkness,
I can't pretend I'm wide awake,
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I scramble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.
In the silence of the darkness,
I can't pretend I'm wide awake,
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I scramble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.
10. Anthem
What's the miracle, if life itself is not?
Who am I to praise his worth within?
I may stumble over words that I forgot,
Just as life itself will slowly begin.
Sing me a song for the mountains to move,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life.
I'm sceptical, I like my glass of wine,
I don't know your name, or what I am to do.
One day you'll wonder why I read between the lines,
And you will sing for me, the way I sang for you.
Sing me a song for the ocean to part,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life.
So another page is turned,
Pray I understand what's happening,
But if anything, I do know this,
I'll be the best I can.
Sing me a song like the angels rejoice,
Sing me an anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem,
Sing me the anthem of life.
11. EdenEcho
First you said that you would never leave me
Merry were my days
Then you told me life is never easy
And left without a trace
But how come I want you
Like the soil yearns for the rain
Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white
You will never know how much I miss you
Or open to my fear
Find a place I make my way through
Enter if you dare
How come I want you
Like the soil yearns for the rain
Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white
Remember my name
And paint the darkness with your light
You'll sing your song for all broken hearted
Like Eden echoes in my head
The unforgiven gave you all
Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white
