Bye Bye Beautiful

Finally the hills are without eyes They are tired of painting a dead man's face red With their own blood They used to love having so much to lose Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Bye bye beautiful Jacob's ghost for the girl in white Blindfold for the blind Dead siblings walking the dying earth Noose around a choking heart Eternity torn apart Slow toll now the funeral bells I need to die to feel alive Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Bye bye beautiful It's not the tree that forsakes the flower But the flower that forsakes the tree Someday I'll learn to love these scars Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words ...How blind can you be, don't you see... ...that the gambler lost all he does not have... Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Bye bye beautiful

"Niaga dna niaga I wonk I lliw eid enola Ees ot hguone gnol Gnol hguone ot raeh eht sdnuos fo snug Gnitnuoc dna setunim eerht evah ylno I won Rof degnol syawla I htaed a em evig" The end The songwriter's dead The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white lands Of empathica Of innocence Empathica Innocence The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widowed writer torn apart by chains of Hell One last perfect verse Is still the same old song Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become Take me home Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world My home was there and then, those meadows of heaven Adventure-filled days One with every smiling face Please, no more words Thoughts from a severed head No more praise Tell me once my heart goes right Take me home Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world And one for God Save me I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world, a whore for the cold world, a whore for the cold world Sparkle my scenery With Turquoise waterfall With beauty underneath The ever free Tuck me in beneath the blue Beneath the Pain Beneath the rain Goodnight kiss for a child in time Swaying blade my lullaby On the shore we sat and hoped Under the same pale moon Whose guiding light chose you Chose you all "I'm afraid, I'm so afraid Being raped, again and again, and again I know I will die alone But loved You live long enough to hear the sounds of guns Long enough to find yourself screaming every night Live long enough to see your friends betray you For years I've been strapped unto this altar Now I only have three minutes and counting I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me A death I always longed for." 2nd robber to the right of Christ Cut in half - infanticide The world will rejoice today As the crows feast on the rotting poet Everyone must bury their own No pack to bury the heart of stone Now he's home in hell, serves him well Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell Next morning dawned upon his altar Remains of the dark passion play Performed by his friends without shame Spitting on his grave as they came Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world And one for God Save me I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world, a whore for the cold world, whore for the cold world "Today, in the year of our Lord, 2005 Tuomas was called from the cares of the world He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day The music he wrote had too long been without silence He was found naked and dead With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text." Save me Be still, my son You're home Oh when did you become so cold? The blade will keep on descending All you need is to feel my love Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end, I will always love you The beginning

Who's there knocking at my window? The owl and the dead boy This night whispers my name All the dying children Virgin snow beneath my feet Painting the world in white I tread the way To lose myself into a tale Come hell or high water My search will go on Clayborn Voyage Without an end A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone, bring me back to life A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light It all starts with a lullaby Journey homeward bound The sound of a dolphin calling Tearing off the mask of man The Tower my sole guide This is who I am Escapist, paradise seeker Farewell, time to fly Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone, bring me back to life A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light It all starts with a lullaby A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone, bring me back to life A nightingale (Come someone make my heavy heart light) (Come undone, bring me back to life) In a golden cage (Come someone make my heavy heart light) (Come undone, bring me back to life)
