Stones Grow Her Name

So life, your gilded leafs have turned, from "once upon a time" to "darkest hour". Ember to inferno, the ending is stronger. I burned myself for a page of rhymes. Only the broken hearts make you beautiful, and one has got to be mine. Only a broken heart turned cynical, lights my final rhyme. Someone broke the frame, and now my picture's gone. Remember what I look like? You can keep my old umbrella, I'll have my rainy day. Thank you for all the pain, that's all i wanted! Only the broken hearts make you beautiful, and one has got to be mine. Only a broken heart turned cynical. Love lost, a typical rhyme!

The siren's sounding, the screech is warning. All is ending, night of nights. I'm a child of the world, now derailed! They found me crying in the dark, I'm not accepting. If I sleep I am there, yet I'm always too late. Seems to me, I can do in a dream almost anything. If only dreams were real! Losing my insanity, would mean I'm losing everything. The dream where I can fly! I'm losing my insanity. I'm not awake, I'm not asleep! I'm filthy, dirty only in my dreams. When you can't see me, I'm standing on the hill! I'm the king of this land, on the palm of your hand. Dreams are deceiving, I arrive while I am leaving. I'm the bird in the sky, you are aiming at me! Seems to me, I can do in a dream almost anything. If only dreams were real! Losing my insanity, would mean I'm losing everything. The dream where I can fly! I'm losing my insanity. Losing my insanity, would mean I'm losing everything. The dream where I can fly! I'm losing my insanity. The imagination I feed every night, to be able to fly in the deep blue skies. Up where the rivers are crystal clear. Losing my insanity, would mean I'm losing everything. The dream where I can fly! I'm losing my insanity.

Hold me when I'm standing! When I've fallen, we're disbanding. You are so goddamn beautiful, but unstable, your joke got old. Sick one trick pony, you fed my fire. Now I'm rising ever higher! And the red ripples multiply, as reflections rise from the sea. From the sea! Take away the pain inflected on me, the hunger you're letting me feed. Bleed my rust on the roses, that once have chained us, me to you! Your dying love is a rose, I will bury somewhere close to you! When we are dancing, I hear worlds, you're still fading. I feel safe, yet unsatisfied. Soaked in trance and disgrace. You are so jaded, keep me sedated, with your nonsense, deeds and phrases. And if suns still set in your eyes, you get to see my face glow. Take away the pain inflected on you, the hunger you're letting me feed. Bleed my rust on the roses, that once have chained us, me to you! Your dying love is a rose, I will bury somewhere close to you!

Sea full of diamonds, good morning new day I'll fix us breakfast and the newspaper says: "The company will lay off 5000 souls today." I wish I was a child with no worries back then. I say: "Kiss me and smile", you reply in your way. You wake up the children for school, for the last time. For suddenly our beautiful life blurs away, and the world breaks into pieces. Because today the sea came in, the wave came and stole my loved ones. I write these lines alone, on the rooftop of my home. I'm adrift on the vast oceans, can you feel me? I will not see you again, even if I live through. The day when the sea came... The day when the sea came... The day when the sea came in! I trace the scenes, our children once played. The names carved in wood, all the words bound to fade. I believe, my Love! your memory and dreams, deserve to live again tomorrow. My Love, we built this world together, we lived in here together. And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows all together. My friend, we'll win the fight together, we'll lose the game together. Greet the heroes all together, and forever we'll remember. My world, we built this world together, we lived in here together. and shared the fun together, bore the sorrows all together. And as long as we're together, in spirit, yet together. You're the air that I am kissing, you will always be there! I can feel you in the wind! I can feel you in the wind!

If I one day found my way back home, one more ride for the Hell of it. If I one day found my way back home, I would tell you how I love you so. One more time for the road tonight, Honey! One more try just for the Hell of it. Cinderblocks are keeping me inside. Wall so thick, cold yet benign. One more time for the road tonight, Honey! One more try just for the Hell of it. Can I stay away from you, if I get out of here soon? Would the road be paved by my mistakes, by the law or by you? Every wall in here is blue, every man here knows you too. We have seen your every curve, the sole good purpose you serve! Yeah! I'm safe, I'm safe in here from you, I know. Because you can't make me do things I would not otherwise do. One more time for the road tonight, Honey! One more try just for the Hell of it. Can I stay away from you, if I get out of here soon? Would the road be paved by my mistakes, by the law or by you? Every wall in here is blue, every man here knows you too. We have seen your every curve, the sole good purpose you serve! When you're done, with your wining and dining. You make a man do, things that wind him up in jail. Can I stay away from you, if I get out of here soon? Would the road be paved by my mistakes, by the law or by you? Every wall in here is blue, every man here knows you too. We have seen your every curve, the sole good purpose you serve! Yeah!

Years have passed since the family, was driven out of the village by force. The people had won, but as some of the old folks knew, this victory was not final. The unrest would not end but only cease for a while, as it had always done since the beginning of times. Hence, they taught their offspring to love and hate, respect and fear, thinking it would be the best way to avoid the inevitable. The last page of the book read: "Children, despite our best efforts, we have grown weak! One day when you least expect it, during a party or harvest festival, a man, not quite a man, yet not quite a beast will walk up the road, and join with his family, the nature. Unless humanity has found harmony before that... ...you all will perish." "Hello!" So here I walk up the road back home. This place is me: my skin, blood and bones. You'd have to remember in order to fear me: "Your past will now burn down your town". There is a mountain in the horizon. Rebuilding the fire, the flames are arising. I am the flint and the kindler they need. This is where we used to live, you were scared. "You all were!" You cast me out! All for one, family! You draw my blood, they will burn down your town! There is a mountain in the horizon. Rebuilding the fire, the flames are arising. Strong is the fear and the anger it breeds. I can take all the blame, for the sake of my name. Our blood on your hands, running hot in my veins. They say: "Do yourself well and stay away from your family!" Build a wall on the hill, and write a book out of fear. Then aim a gun at your son, to keep him safe from us. You're not foolish, you're insane. They would die for me, twice. Build a wall on the hill, write a book out of fear. You are out of your minds, blind and your love's the killing kind. Children play! Your riddles and games are hurtful. This pains me to know, they will teach them to fear. But if anything, they teach them to hate, the bells of my fate play my songs, but I don't want to dance anymore! But I don't want to dance anymore, cause I don´t want to dance with fire! Love is the infinite power, you're gonna sing when the mountain tells you. Now you'll sing, you'll bow, as we dance around you. In a dream, you believe, you have seen our soul. You have seen our heart, you have seen through the wall. You have seen what we are, but what have you learned? I can take all the blame, for the sake of my name. Our blood on your hands, running hot in my veins. They say: "Do yourself well and stay away from your family!" Build a wall on the hill, and write a book out of fear. Then aim a gun at your son, to keep him safe from us. You're not foolish, you're insane. They will love me till death! Build a wall on the hill, and write a book out of fear. Then aim a gun at your son, make them all read it! You are out of your minds, your love is the killing kind. Write a book about us, family infamous. Memorize every leaf, every word, every phrase. See your name on the last page, consumed by fire. The bells of my fate play my songs, but I don't want to dance anymore! But I don't want to dance anymore, cause I don´t want to dance with fire! Don't want to dance! The innocence slain, the price you have paid. So tonight, if you teach your own children to hate. Remember to tell of both Heaven and Hell. Never open those gates for the weak. Because we're up on the mountain, we are one with the mountain. Cause we are the mountain, one with the Mountain. Wildfire Mountain! Wildfire...

You didn't come in peace, wear a flower in your hair! Didn´t mean to harm, anyone of us in here. You need what you take, like a candle needs a snowflake. The roots are alive, and the bodies will rise. You can try the same, but you'll never have a dice. Waging a war to a mountain! Death, eruption. Know that mountain wants you all begone, thou wilt be gone! You bring in the machines: "Fire in the hole!" Money is the power, and morals gotta go. Tomorrow comes, and the law is not a problem. Corruption! On every standing nail, a hammer is to fall. No value in the oddities, evolution's gone. Talk is cheap, but the suits are not! Thy will be done, thou wilt be dead! You dig another hole, in the one you're standing in. Nothing is enough, for Generation Greed. Angels die for the cause, long live the faction! If you have access: "It is fine to reave!" You only destroy to be able to leave, this planet one day. What a perfect day! Thy will be done, thy will be done! Thy will be done, thou wilt be dead! "Fiat iustitia, Pereat Mundus." (Tulkoon oikeus, tuhoutukoon maailma) Seen so many of you die, thy will be gone! You are wasting your life, use a pen as a knife. Always wanna take more, than you ask for. All your promises reek, gluttony makes you weak. Our planet is ever so grateful, grateful when your offspring's gone. Done! Gomorrah be gone! revolution, a new spin! You don´t wanna dance, in the ballroom you're in. Mountain gives no hope, line up to die now. You are in a battle, you're not supposed to win. Still you run to your death, face it with a grin. Run home kids, while you still have homes. A place where you learn, about harmony and peace. These you never knew, wish you would but never will. It's in your blood, but your blood runs thin. The mountain still wants to believe, you can turn the page again. You lose your hope here, one by one. Listen to me, son, you've got nowhere to run. You are not perfect at anything, least of all in things, things we were always good at. Slow to learn, you are slow to learn. Children grow and burn, because you'll never learn. Thy will be done, thy will be done! Thy will be done, thy will be, thy will be... Thou wilt be dead! Species, generations. Extinct, evolved? What you call progress, must be put on hold! To let you have your way is not an option! "Using his burgeoning intelligence, this most successful of all mammals, has exploited the environment, to produce food for an ever increasing population. Instead of controlling the environment, for the benefit of the population, perhaps it is time we control the population, to allow the survival of the environment."

Sometimes we find things we're not looking for, and we lose the sense of reason. Sometimes we lose what we are caring for, and then face the day without them. My life, my home, my you! Sometimes we fail to say how hurt we are, when the word we fear speaks treason. Don't wanna be there when my cupid dies, from a wound by his own arrow. Here's to life, my home, my you! I raise a glass and drown my sorrow, when I'm on my own. I dry my eyes on a shoulder, but it's not my own. I cannot hold you, my tears are made of stone. I feel a tap on my shoulder, but tonight I dance alone.
