THE SHOWDOWN LYRICS
"Temptation Come My Way" (2006 Single)
1. Death Finds Us Breathing
2. Temptation Come My Way
3. We Die Young
1. Death Finds Us Breathing
I would sleep without dreams
And know everything
As death finds us breathing
And all but believing
We sleep and we dream
In the arms of the sea
Drowning in days
Ungrateful, the lifeless, the ocean held in sway
Torrential, a creature but for faith
As we breathe in and lash out, a juggernaut of days
Release us unto death, oh release us this age
Plunge us into the deep
Left anchored with dreams
As death finds us pleading
For all we believed in
We breathe in the sea
And our lungs feel deceived
Cause the drowning can�t leave
Count our lungs deceived (plunge us into the deep)
The drowning cannot leave (and take our breath away)
2. Temptation Come My Way
I�m torn and I�m ripped in temptations wake
I�ve lived half a life I�m desires slave
Of love and of lust and of life he speaks
In thrall I�m the victim until it sleeps
I�m bound to this Medusa blind or stone
I�m held at the mercy of the unknown
Can�t shake the black hearted, still I roam
Can�t change how it started, the beast comes home
You choke like smoke
And define like a stain
You reign and the flood
Washes all but my name away
Temptation come my way
Temptation takes the day
Hey hey this is the lid to my coffin case
You lay six feet of deep just to separate
Pine tar and pitch and a rusted hinge
What�s left of a life that temptation spent
Hey hey you are the way that you let me down
And if I ever strut bring me right back down
Remind me today that temptations still I town
3. We Die Young
Move in circle and unwind
Feel the rhythm and the lines
Are you satisfied?
Feel the need and just collide
Swear your best intent and ride
Into the edge of night
And run
Live so fast you come undone
Cause we die young
Bright as stars we fade as one
So run
Talk in circles and entwine
Tell your breath carry your mind
Are you satisfied?
Doe you feel alive
Tired tongue and aching chest
What it takes outdoes your best
Death redraws the line
Do you feel alive?
Or run live so fast you come undone
Cause we die young
Bright as stars we fade as one
You�ll always run
Live so fast you come undone
And we die young
Bright stars we fade as one
