3. Shamandalie
4. Wildfire
1. Don't Say A Word
I am the voice that cant be found
The lamp that's meant to fade away
(I let go of the record)
Who's side im choking on this life?
I think I tollerate your hate
As long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you
( And suffer every day)
Under the moon I hold a Way
for a promise torn
Mortality wound, that feeling shelterred me
Once again, my shadow will enter your life
look I led you way down the night
Mother always said:
My son, do the noble thing
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now sit watch and learn
It is not how long you live
And what your moral say
Cant keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't Say A Word
It wont be long now love,
Black mist, I slowly feel the hate
I place the candle on your chest
The path of night has manifest
I never wanted us to end
I feel this scattered dying phase
It wasnt me who ran away
You made me stray
Open your blue eyes
Tell me that you love me whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made my angel lie
Settling the score
Think past the twilight
Mother always said:
My son, do the noble thing
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now sit watch and learn
It is not how long you live
And what your moral say
Cant keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't Say A Word
I'm very blind
you struggle on, but my heart is about to end
I somehow slide sometimes.
It doesn't go the way it was meant.
Though you never were a believer, (yet)
I will purify you.
You read the book now, (goodbye)
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
You never mean't the word, I know you lied
When there is life there is dispair you taught me, now
I see your alive this night
I promise you the end before the first light arrives
Mother always said:
My son, do the noble thing
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now sit watch and learn
It is not how long you live
And what your moral say
Cant keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't Say A Word
2. Misplaced
Sometimes I feel so out of time and place
Trapped in the maze
As if I was lost in someone else's life
The values I should keep, Deny
regard the name, nothing to me
Do you ever feel a need to go back in time, a dream of mine
To travel far away in one destined path, my life
In the end all I can do is to learn I live in a dreamland
This time was not made for me
I have nowhere to land,
No place to rest like a bird
Without a nest im gliding
Under the clouds for evermore
How much suffocated anxiety can be held within?
I was found guilty to the crime against myself
No need to hear the words again
I live and I die for my dreamland
This time was not made for me
I have nowhere to land,
No place to rest like a bird
Without a nest im gliding
Under the clouds for evermore
I never had a chance
I cant understand
I'm a misplaced man
How could this bad bird land?
Learn to understand my past
What it's like when every single smile hurts
I have never felt like home here
Always missing something
people are connecting
am i a misplaced soul?
I live in a perfect hell
I try finding my wish dream
Will when i drop my last tear
I have ascertained this life
Who's saint, that I am not
You have never seen me go
I have always been there
Standing by your side
I never had a chance,
I can't understand,
I'm a misplaced man.
How could this bad bird land?
Learn to understand my past
What it's like when
Every single moment pains me
Never felt like home here
I am missing something
My soul still (?)
3. Shamandalie
In good old times, remember my friend
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss?
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?
"Can we ever have what we had then?
Friendship unbreakable
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me"
One cloudy day we both lost the game?
We drifted so far and away
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes?
"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me now"
I was unable to cope with what you said
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
Child that I was, could not see the reason
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie?
I have never forgotten your smile
Your eyes, oh, Shamandalie
Time went by, many memories died
I'm writing this down to ease my pain
You saw us always clearer than me
How we were never meant to be
Love denied meant the friendship would die
Now I have seen the light
These memories make me cry
"Can I ever have what I had then?
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
And see the world with my wide open eyes
Friendship got broken
There's no other for me
Like the one of my childhood days
Can you forgive me?
The love got better off me,
On that one day back in old times"
4. Wildfire
(spoken)
Oh, why are we so sad?
Are we feeling hurt by their evil lies,
and all those empty words?
We are thirsty for PAYBACK?
What would we like to do with the town?
Would we like to make it... dance?
The animal?
Would we?... WOULD WE?!
Tell us what we like to do!
... burn it... burn it ALL....
(sung)
Burn, honey, burn
Let the fire eat away
I never liked the look of this town!
Burn it down now!
I run, they'll know what I've done
i fetch my gear and take my leave from this mountains
I never had a chance to prove i wasn't guilty
i always seemed to get blamed for
every little crime I didn't even have a name for...
Still running, still defeated in my mind
I never even tried to defend my own pride
The father, ain't always like the son
(We can't let people reigned)
I'm not the one
The story always goes:
When the anger within builds up for too long...
(IT) TAKES US OVER
And we are forced to obey!
It was a match made in hell, now the whole mountain burns
and everyone gets what noone deserves!
our will again
Never learned to fit in
Now I pay for my day
Live my life in sin
How much less can I ask from you people?
This town stays in disarray
'Till the rules are the same for us all! (Pain...)
I run off this mountain with no guilt of my own,
THE TREES AND THE ROCKS, EVERY CAVE, EVERY HOME
I've broken the line, beware
This mountain will go up in flames, my (?) race
Burn us all, all over the town
burn, burn, until it's all gone!
Game over, one motion
The joke is now a reality show!
Every hour I'm forced to obey!
(Every our I'm forced to obey!)
I've climbed up the mountain and
dug a grave for each day of pain
It's in the past, this moment so faint...
I am what you've made me.... with this shall I be someone!
it was a match made in hell, now the whole mountain burns
And everyone gets what noone deserves!
Our will again
Never learned to fit in
Now I pay for my day
Live my life in sin
How much less can I ask from you people?
This town stays in disarray
'Till the rules are the same for us all!
Our will again
Never learned to fit in
Now I pay for my day
Live my life in sin
How much less can I ask from you people?
I hereby declare a marshall law:
that you all, we all are forced to obey!
