Torn In Two

Don't know where to start.
Don't know where to begin.
There's so much to lose,
so little to win.
As I think of you,
I'm torn in two.
As the trumpets fade.
As the violence sets in.
Will a war ignite,
Between my scars within?
As the banner betrays.
As the venom kicks in.
There's no love lost...
Between, me and you.
Only so much that we can do.
Cause you split my heart open, torn in two.
With a single act, a stab in my back.
As a matter of fact, a deceitful attack.
You've carved my heart into a hollow crater.
And yet you have the guts to call me a traitor.
Some time later, you beg me to forgive,
you beg me to forget, as if my pain does not exist.
Though I tried so hard, I couldn't dare to trust,
as you wield the knive, which through my blood came to rust.
Don't know how to fault.
Don't know how to give in.
Am I a feeble child,
to have forgiven your sins?
As I think of you,
I'm torn in two.
Through the eye of the storm.
Through the aegir's heart..
I will find a way,
To see us apart.
Through the hatred's fool.
Through the desolate blue.
There's no love lost...
Between, me and you.
Only so much that we can do.
Cause you split my heart open, torn in two.
With a single act, a stab in my back.
As a matter of fact, a deceitful attack.
You've carved my heart into a hollow crater.
And yet you have the guts to call me a traitor.
Some time later, you beg me to forgive,
you beg me to forget, as if my pain does not exist.
Though I tried so hard, I couldn't dare to trust,
as you wield the knive, which through my blood came to rust.
Give me a reason, you owe me the truth.
Years my shoulders spent lifting you.
Was it the fear, of destroying my dreams?
Or was it the moment when I showed you a tear?
Was it anger, resentment, jealousy, hate?
Come on weakling, give it a name.
Don't think me a fool, no matter how or when.
Once a dog has bitten, it`ll bite again.
Between, me and you.
Only so much that we can do.
Cause you split my heart open, torn in two.
There's no love lost...
between, me and you.
Only so much that we can do.
Cause you split my heart open, torn in two.
yeah!

Iron Giant
03:57
|
|

|
One too many times I've been replaced.
Scrapped to parts, body disgraced.
Take whatever you need from me.
My core's beyond broken.
Oh help me god, or I'll detonate.
Protecting ye of little faith.
you threw the guilt and I caught the blame.
My valves are smoking.
You underestimate.
I'm the fire, I'm the flame.
Through the battles that I've faced.
I'm a giant, an iron giant.
One too many times, I shielded you.
Kept up a smile, nothing to lose.
Why is the past the only truth?
My frame is cripling.
Oh witness, don't you hear my cry?
Or do you fear these blood red eyes?
Hidden veiled by an unwanted disguise.
My gears are shifting.
You underestimate.
I'm the fire, I'm the flame.
Through the battles that I've faced.
I'm a giant, an iron giant.
You overestimate.
Burned by fire, Scorched by flames.
Through the battles that I've faced.
I'm a giant, an iron giant. Iron giant.
Dented by disaster, yet I won't crawl away.
Despite my tarnished metal, my armor will sustain.
You and me, you and me, we were always meant to be.
two sides of a coin, different, yet inseperably.
Cause I'm a robot, indestructible, master of war.
Those missles you launch, they but leave scratches and scars.
Every doubt, every blame, I'll tear them apart.
Either nemesis or confidant, you're home in my heart.
You underestimate.
I'm the fire, I'm the flame.
Through the battles that I've faced.
I'm a giant, an iron giant.
You overestimate.
Burned by fire, Scorched by flames.
Through the battles that I've faced.
I'm a giant, an iron giant. Iron giant.

Countdown, three, two, one.
You missed your chance and now its gone.
Don't shout at me, just move along.
I'm sure you`re not the only one.
Break a leg, or better break two

No more sorrow, no more pain.

Wounded trust may never return.

No more doubts, no more fear,
No longer you`ll drain my eyes of tears.

Sinner
03:27
|
|

I'm a sinner, rotten inside.
I feed from the darkness and abandoned the light.
I'm a sinner, Judgement awaits.
Throwing a tantrum at Sint Peter's gate.
Beyond the waterfall, another star will fall.
It got burdened by blame.
Have we, forgotten our names?
Forgotten our sins, and forgotten our shame?
Have we, forsaken our place.
I'm human, you're human, we're guilty all the same.
I'm a sinner, a shattered heart.
I scratch up the pieces as they fall apart.
I'm a sinner, admittingly true.
I may be the devil, but so are you.
Beyond the waterfall, another star will fall.
It got burdened by blame.
Have we, forgotten our names?
Forgotten our sins, and forgotten our shame?
Have we, forsaken our place.
I'm human, you're human, we're guilty all the same.
I'm a sinner, Judgement awaits.
Throwing a tantrum at Sint Peter's gate.
Beyond the waterfall, another star will fall.
It got burdened by blame.
Have we, forgotten our names?
Forgotten our sins, and forgotten our shame?
Have we, forsaken our place.
I'm human, you're human, we're guilty all the same.
Have we, forgotten our names?
Forgotten our sins, and forgotten our shame?
Have we, forsaken our place.
I'm human, you're human, we're guilty all the same.

Not My Name
04:18

You call me a loser.
You call me a fool.
As baneful acuser,
You're both smart as you are cruel.
You call me insecure.
A man without a spine.
Yet when I try to speak my mind, My head's upon a pike.
But you know it's not alright,
you questioned why.
Did we pretend, are we no friends, was all of it a lie?
Yeah, you know it's not okay,
that word you said.
That's not my name, that's not my name, that's not my name!
Not my name! Not my name! Not my name!
You call me a liar.
You call me a fake.
On fables you inspire,
The claptrap you propagate.
You call me miserable,
A pawn that's out of play.
Yet through those eyes of hatred, I recognize your face.
But you know it's not alright,
you questioned why.
Did we pretend, are we no friends, was all of it a lie?
Yeah, you know it's not okay,
that word you said.
That's not my name, that's not my name, that's not my name!
Not my name! Not my name! Not my name!
That's not my name! Not my name! Not my name!
I`ve, been back and forth through hell for you.
And I, burned my hands to save you.
Still I am the devil in your eyes.
Your not a bad guy,
Yet another sad guy!
I`ve, been back and forth through hell for you.
And I, burned my hands to save you.
Still I am the devil in your eyes.
Your not a bad guy,
Your but a sad guy!
Not my name! Not my name! Not my name!
That's not my name! Not my name! Not my name!

A Siren's Song
03:54

Wise men say,
Her voice will fade away.
Yet he don't understand,
my heart is shattered misrably!
I come forth,
Her lash has pulled me overboard.
Now I am of the sea,
Of tears I shed in agony!
Hear the song of a siren,
and fall into the deep below,
Such a woeful tone.
Hear the song of a siren,
and fall into the deep below,
in a lover's boat.
Come what may,
live to love another day.
Yet I'm taken by the storm.
My sail is drenched with chloroform!
Farewell, goobye,
The sharks will have their fill tonight.
Cause I was not alone,
There wa another, being torn.
Hear the song of a siren,
And step upon a lonely road.
Hear the song of a siren,
Head the lovely, bloody, deadly siren's song.

Strays

Unlike you I`m not so favored by the dice.
I roll tem, tumble them, throw them,
Yet still I get zero in life.
You don`t know, you don`t know, you don`t know the pain.
You don`t know, you don`t know, you don`t know the weight,
We took upon our shoulders.
We took upon our shoulders.
We took upon our shoulders.
We are the strays
worth less than sewer waste
And our future gets detirmined by the taxes we pay
We are the strays!
Strays strays strays.
We are the strays!
Strays strays strays.
Unlike you, I`m not a king of anything.
I`m a loner, I`m a creep,
I`m no man`s land`s freak.
As barbed wire, I`ll be your pariah.
You don`t know, you don`t know, you don`t know the pain.
You don`t know, you don`t know, you don`t know the weight,
We took upon our shoulders.
We took upon our shoulders.
We took upon our shoulders.
We are the strays
worth less than sewer waste
And our future gets detirmined by the taxes we pay
We are the strays!
Strays strays strays.
We are the strays!
Strays strays strays.
We are the strays
worth less than sewer waste
And our future gets detirmined by the taxes we pay
We are the strays!
Strays strays strays.
We are the strays!
Strays strays strays.
We are the strays!
You don`t know, you don`t know, you don`t know the pain.
You don`t know, you don`t know, you don`t know the weight,

Better Days
04:30

I`ve had some better days.
Today I feel like, the world could break.
And as the ground gives away, roughly shakes.
I've had some better days.
But no, I'm not alone.
There`s a light waiting home.
She's waiting home, she's waiting home.
Through the dark, hard to see.
There's a light left in me.
She's waiting home, she's waiting home.
I`ve had some better days.
Not as hurtful, as yesterday.
When an old wound opened up, the dark in me.
I've had some better days.
But no, I'm not alone.
There`s a light waiting home.
She's waiting home, she's waiting home.
Through the dark, hard to see.
There's a light left in me.
She's waiting home, she's waiting home.
Why do good things come to an end?
Why do we bother to pretend.
It's all a distraction from the truth.
My mysery loves company, that is you.
No, I'm not alone.
There`s a light waiting home.
She's waiting home, she's waiting home.
Through the dark, hard to see.
There's a light left in me.
She's waiting home, she's waiting home
No, I'm not alone.
There`s a light waiting home.
She's waiting home, she's waiting home.
Through the dark, hard to see.
My girl has always guided me.
She's waiting home, she's waiting, she's waiting home.

Under A Crimson Sky
04:30

Imagination turn to dust.
Motivation, love or lust.
In echoes, I take no pleasure.
I'm on to you.
Hey, didn't you know? Didn't you know?
That scars are beautiful.
Hey, didn't you know? Didn't you know?
How long? How long? How long?
Howls of dismay, t'is a sing of the times.
Is it love we hide!? Did we leave it behind!?
Face to face. Eye to eye.
All shall die under a crimson sky.
Fractured by fear, did we learn how to shoot.
If the bullet is red, can the message be any good!?
Face to face. Eye to eye.
All shall die under a crimson sky.
( Deny, There`s a world of peace we left behind.
We fly, As we dance beneath the crimson sky.)
Abhorrence, a flavour sweet.
one's a void, incomplete.
As the jester, wears a crown,
He points at you.
Hey, didn't you know? Didn't you know?
That scars are beautiful.
Hey, didn't you know? Didn't you know?
How long? How long? How long?
Howls of dismay, t'is a sing of the times.
Is it love we hide!? Did we leave it behind!?
Face to face. Eye to eye.
All shall die under a crimson sky.
Fractured by fear, did we learn how to shoot.
If the bullet is red, can the message be any good!?
Face to face. Eye to eye.
All shall die under a crimson sky.
( Deny, There`s a world of peace we left behind.
We fly, As we dance beneath the crimson sky.)
Hear the voice of reaon.
Hear the vocie of faith.
Here I stand, shadows of a desperate man.
Here I stand, must suffer to understand.
Here I stand, alone, all over again.
Here I stand.
Temptation's gravity.
Pulls the weight of insanity.
No strings, the doll consumes.
It's all over you.
Hey, didn't you know? Didn't you know?
That scars are beautiful.
Hey, didn't you know? Didn't you know?
How long? How long? How long?
Howls of dismay, t'is a sing of the times.
Is it love we hide!? Did we leave it behind!?
Face to face. Eye to eye.
All shall die under a crimson sky.
Fractured by fear, did we learn how to shoot.
If the bullet is red, can the message be any good!?
Face to face. Eye to eye.
All shall die under a crimson sky.
( Deny, There`s a world of peace we left behind.
We fly, As we dance beneath the crimson sky.)
