Crimson

(music: Laihiala & SENTENCED, lyrics: Laihiala) No, you don't want me to be there… To kiss your eyes, caress your hair… or kill that pain away As pain is my companion, solitude my guide Your sweet affection solely offers me a threat I cannot abide Yet you'll lose yourself in me… in me Bleed in my arms wounds within Fall from grace as I offer you sin Sacrifice yourself so frail… This pseudo-love is as good as betrayal So place your love in the palm of my hand… where temptation lies within… that something you've yet to feel And as I close my fist and awake your sleeping fears Without forbearance I will quench my thirst of your crimson tears You've lost yourself in me… in me Bleed in my arms wounds within Fall from grace as I offer you sin Sacrifice yourself so frail… This pseudo-love is as good as betrayal Weep for promises which all died A drop of tear for every lie Love forever torn away… I am only to cherish your pain …I am only to cherish your pain…

(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka) Again the sky has fallen down on me Once more a world has crumbled down and over me And yet in some twisted way I enjoy my misery And in some strange way I have grown together with my agony I feel home in despair for I dwell in grief and I feel home when the air's too thick to breathe and I feel home anywhere human lives are going down the drain For as long as I remember life has been hard I guess they have "misery" written somewhere in my stars For I have mourned for so damn long… that I've forgotten what it was for Everything has gone so wrong that I really couldn't think of anything more I feel home in despair for I dwell in grief and I feel home when the air's too thick to breathe and I feel home anywhere human lives are flowing down the drain I feel home in despair for I dwell in grief and I feel home when the air's too thick to breathe and I feel home anywhere the light of day is drowned in heavy rain Yet I know the worst is still to come

(music: Lopakka, Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka) So many times I have brought you down that I have already lost all count and I seem to be doing it again No matter how hard I have tried I have crumbled time after time and kept failing in the end Sometimes it feels it would be better for you all If I ceased to exist or was never born at all So many times I have let you down shadowed the shine of our sun and drowned you in tears and misery that it is hard for me to see how you can after all these years still be standing by me Sometimes it feels it would be better for us all If I ceased to exist or was never born at all Sometimes it feels it would be easier to fall than to flutter in the air with these wings so weak and torn

(music: Laihiala & SENTENCED, lyrics: Laihiala) She was no longer precious to me… I guess my hate grew much stronger than my love for her ever did (I was) so tired of chasing that person who made me feel loved and as we were embracing I cut and spilt the dearest blood I'm praying for her soul as this blood on my hands stains me whole… You were my life, from you I fed of And now parted by knife - the suicide of our love So callous and frigid was that stillborn soul… yet no other half could ever make me whole You promised: "…'til death do us part", and then you made a stone of my heart And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame Gone are the times when I felt alive Gone are those nights with you by my side And now here I stand as the shadows grow deep… With the death on my hand at your grave I weep We were one yet not the same… Once passion abundant, now pain And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame …Love laved with stillness like the grave in my heart and all the reasons huddled in your seeping blood… And with the last rays of the setting sun the loveless pulse fades away No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame And with the last rays of the setting sun she bled her love away No more beating as one, no longer burns the flame

(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka) I have come a long way where I started from but I'm still not even close to where I'm going (and now) I can no longer see the shine that has been lighting up my way I cannot feel its glowing The fire in my heart is dying and the zeal I had is gone This path that I've chosen's a rocky one Long, hard and frozen it has become Each turn that I've taken on the way has only led me back to Hell I am dying down… growing weaker now It could seem that I'm doing fine but I'm broken to little pieces deep inside Why did I ever choose to go this way The question I keep asking myself all the time I guess it was my instinct for self-destruction that pointed me down this way The fire in my eyes is dying and the dream I had is gone This path that I've chosen's a rocky one Long, hard and frozen it has become Each turn that I've taken on the way has only led me back to Hell I am dying down… growing weaker now It could seem that I'm doing fine but I'm broken to little pieces deep inside

(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka) Baby, have you seen, there is a snake in our paradise A serpent that's wriggling between us and freezing our feelings to ice And with each drop of blood we bleed because of this something so precious dies and it feels it really is... Killing Me Killing You Killing all we have As our loves wither away Burning Me Burning You Burning us to ash Drowning us in a sea of flames Darling, do you feel, there is a storm coming our way The burning light between us is already starting to fade The fire in our hearts is smothered by the rain and the crimson flame of passion turns into something gray And with each drop of blood our shattered hearts ever bleed something so precious dies and is lost eternally Killing Me Killing You Killing all we have As our loves wither away Burning Me Burning You Burning us to ash Drowning us in a sea of flames Each teardrop from your eyes makes something inside me die Each of these days that draws us part takes a piece from my heart Kill me kill me kill me again with your love and chase the storm away Bring me bring me bring me the end with your love and haunt the demons away Killing Me Killing You Killing all we have As our loves wither away Burning Me Burning You Burning us to ash Drowning us in a sea of flames Kill me kill me kill me again with your love and chase the snake away Bring me bring me bring me the end with your love and haunt the serpent away

(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka) Yet another morning that feels like this Yet another life's bitter kiss It has been like this for… I don't know how long I only know that at some point it all went wrong I don't remember much from last night but still far more than I would like to I'm floating downstream that damned river again What can I do now except continue and open a bottle once more What can I do now except see this through and float with the stream, off the shore - see where the river will take me When I needed you, you weren't there… now I need booze like I need the air that I breathe With each drink I'm drifting further away from your world the further off I get the harder it will be to return It has been like this for… I don't know how long I only know that at some point it all went wrong Floating downstream that damned river again The river that's distilled from premium grain What can I do now except continue and open a bottle once more What can I do now except see this through and float with the stream, off the shore - see where the river will take me - see where the river will take me

(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka) It has now spread itself all over inside me all the way to the brain and down to my knees My time comes closer with each day it lets me see - with each night the pain keeps me from sleep Life has given me much - maybe taken more but those good times were always worth waiting for When it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relieved with bitterness and joy Pleasure and pain; Heaven and Hell - my memories What a long and strange trip this has been for me What a short and strange life this has been It has given me much - maybe taken more but those good times were always worth waiting for When it's time to take leave of this world I will leave with bitterness and joy What a long and strange trip this has been for me What a short and strange life this has been It has given me much - maybe taken more but those good times were always worth waiting for When it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relieved with bitterness and joy Life has given me much - maybe taken more but those good times were always worth waiting for When it's time to take leave of this world I will leave with bitterness and joy

(music: Tenkula & SENTENCED, lyrics: Lopakka) I gave and gave - gave all I had I took and took - all I could grab I had it all and I had none Now the game is over and it's all gone My heart is worn out to keep beating My lungs exhausted by all this breathing My mind's too tired to keep grieving I was against and I was for I wanted less and wanted more I won I lost, I lost and won Now it's all over and I am done My throat is too sore for more screaming My eyes too swollen for more weeping My wounds are too dry for more bleeding My blood too drained for more streaming My heart is slowing down Long short is life is short and long Strong weak am I am weak and strong My crop is ready for the Reaping My being ready for releasing My heart is slowing down
