アンダーワールド
Could you live with the silence? Could you live with the truth? All the things that we wanted Disappeared with our youth Could you live with the promise Of an imminent death? When your daydreams are haunted By your last dying breath Somehow we end up summerburned and winterblown Somehow we end up losing everything we've known Even though you split my armour open wide Do you really want to see what dwells inside? Could you handle the sweetness? Could you live with the pain? To bring all that we wanted To the surface again Would you care for the outside Or just make this our own? It's a level of nearness That they'll never have known Somehow we end up summerburned and winterblown Somehow we end up losing everything we've known Even though you split my armour open wide I would never dare to dream of all I wanted All that I needed All that was always you I would never dare to dream of all I wanted All that I needed All that was always you Somehow we end up summerburned and winterblown Somehow we end up losing everything we've known Even though you split my armour open wide (Armour open wide) Do you really want to see what dwells inside? Could you live with the silence? Could you live with the truth? All the things that we wanted Disappeared with our youth

I live with the last of the silence I gave away all my hope I managed to turn my laughter Into a wall made of stone I left on a foggy morning I reached my goal at night Fires burning and hollow eyes We have all made our silent goodbyes In this heartless, meaningless shelter Below the fields of our spirited past Cold as ice and with wings of disaster We'll make sure that our moment will last We all knew it was a calling And we thought we'd escaped the rain Growing closer to our dark fate In this master's tale Water's rising as we desperately reach out for the sun Deal is broken and our souls have now moved on If you ever cared for what you had, it's already gone Leave it all behind, pick up the pieces and run One flew from the other side, got caught in the cold My son, this is war, come and join the fold Don't you ever look back, put it all to rest Take your chances but that burden won't ever leave your chest 'Cause I see nothing but a deadly sign Our shallow hearts in a well of wine Setting our minds straight Time to open the gates We are the dead, short days ago We've lived, felt dawn, saw sunsets glow We are the keepers of the wisdom below Neither enemies, friends or ghosts Take up our quarrel with the foe To you from failing hands we throw The torch be yours to hold it high If you break faith with us who die In this heartless, meaningless shelter Below the fields of our spirited past Cold as ice and with wings of disaster We'll make sure that our moment will last We all knew it was a calling And we thought we'd escaped the rain Growing closer to our dark fate In this master's tale Water's rising as we desperately reach out for the sun Deal is broken and our souls have now moved on If you ever cared for what you had, it's already gone Leave it all behind, pick up the pieces and run One flew from the other side, got caught in the cold My son, this is war, come and join the fold Don't you ever look back, put it all to rest Take your chances but that burden won't ever leave your chest 'Cause I see nothing but a deadly sign Our shallow hearts in a well of wine Setting our minds straight Time to open the gates Time to open the gates

Deprived of the fundamentals Those animalistic needs Became ever more essential And so it began to feed Please don't tell me what you're thinking Let fire rush to my head We're trapped in a stare, unblinking A hive mind of nearly dead Still locked to the generator A current without a spark My mind was the instigator My flesh longing for the dark Finally There's a trembling light that's fading over me Silently We avert our empty gazes from the sky And the undying eye Deprived of the fundamentals Those animalistic needs Please don't tell me what you're thinking Let fire rush to my head We're trapped in a stare, unblinking A hive mind of nearly dead Still locked to the generator A current without a spark Finally There's a trembling light that's fading over me Silently We avert our empty gazes from the sky And the undying eye Finally There's a trembling light that's fading over me Silently We avert our empty gazes from the sky And the undying eye

Sentinel of the retribution Summoner of the dying light Guardian of the grand delusion Phosphorus and apatite She's observed you From the other world She has heard you Every world unfurled Soon she is coming Soon she'll descend First we're devolving Then we'll ascend And I know it's the only way out of here that lies ahead And I know that she will get us off this planet of the dead Oversight of the ever-watching Vigilance of the seldom seen Sulphurous dawn is soon approaching Promises of what might have been Unshed tears Cascading from her interstellar space Disconnected from the earth And all that we embraced She's observed you From the other world She has heard you Every world unfurled Soon she is coming Soon she'll descend First we're devolving Then we'll ascend And I know it's the only way out of here that lies ahead And I know that she will get us off this planet of the dead She's observed you From the other world She has heard you Every world unfurled Soon she is coming Soon she'll descend First we're devolving Then we'll ascend And I know it's the only way out of here That lies ahead And I know that she will get us off this planet of the dead
