I'm a doorman at my death row, you faceless foe of heart. An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow, white feather in the tar. A tearstain on your frozen face! A life in black and white. You slaughtered my soul again, tried my best to be worth your two realities. You're breaking my heart again, to squeeze out a rhyme, I bid you farewell. Stupidity, ignorance, leave a light on for the blind. Now I will hit you where it hurts. Take what is rightfully mine, I need a sign that you're worth fighting for. Winning or losing alone, I am only a pawn. I'm tired of pleasing you! Discolored this emptiness, wrapped in a scheme I delayed my dreams to see. Who blinded your eyes, from things that are real? For me, I believe in the taste of bitter sweet. Dying fountains full of stories untold. After a history of losses, attained the victory where it occurred. Lips so cold, the final testing ground, for beautiful words. Diving in the seas of sin, without knowing where lies the bottom. Idle moments spawned you idle people, no morality, no soul. Sabotage or a fatal mistake? Scandal born, a new race! Unauthorized use, not stealing? We've no rights, just passion and rage. People you know on your side, touching concern. Stand on a chair and scream as the tables turn. Take a bow and take the blame, soon you'll wake up screaming your nightmare's name. Now I will hit you where it hurts. Take what is rightfully mine, I need a sign that you're worth fighting for. Winning or losing alone, I am only a pawn. People you know on your side, touching concern. Stand on a chair and scream as the tables turn. Always a minute too late, now feel the burn. Wake up friend, you're screaming the name of the... Doorman at my death row, you faceless foe of heart. An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow, white feather in the tar. A tearstain on my frozen face, follow the wicked trail. If you wish you see the sum, of all my fears in many shades of gray. You'll see your dreams in black and white. Nightmares in black and white. Sweet dreams in black and white. Your life is black and white.

We have been stuck in here a day, seeking answers for all eternity or something. Hear the meaning, speaking in me. Have faith in me, have faith in me! I cannot say that I am fine, and take all you say at face value. I've talked to you more than I have. Have faith in me, have faith in me. I've talked too much today, you don't trust me. So I keep on talking in every way. Across the sea, I hear you calling me. For the sake of revenge you command me. This ain't over, it's never over, ´till the fat lady sings, you love me. I'm tired, yet I am swimming. You will not let go of me, you are drowning, as you're quietly pulling me under. We will never make it unless you let go. There's no crime, yet I stand accused, and I see the solution naked before me. You reduced me to a weapon, unlike you. Have faith in me, have faith in me. I cannot hear, though I incline my ear. Why do I even try? I've told you all 'bout what I am. Have faith in me, have faith in me. I'm feeling weak today. Please, don't crush me! I keep on walking far away. I keep on crawling, all in vain. I am feeling slow today. So don't rush me! We live this wretched serenade. You keep me playing, anyway. Across the sea, I hear you calling me. For the sake of revenge you command me. This ain't over, it's never over, ´till the fat lady sings, you love me. I'm tired, yet I am swimming. You will not let go of me, you are drowning, now you're quietly pulling me under. Oh, so quietly pulling me under.

You borrow the moment, betray your own heavens. The darkness is thickening, breathing gets harder. The balance is off, some take more than give back. The attitude, ignorance, proved to be fatal. For that tiny spark that led our way. You poisoned the air, should you stay away, hence. Wish to be one of us, follow the trail. Take the time offered, don't toss it away. Travesty, no trial, defendant is guilty, and we are the judges and sentence the jury. To pay for forgiveness with silent contentment. Stand in the line with the rest of us! We cannot carry you further today. hear what you don't say, thus help in any way. Need you to learn how to cry without darkness, face like the others the pain that is harmless. Feel the world has let you down! Somehow, we cannot see this. Have to bear the winterburn. You can only wait, if it will fade with time. Secrecy, silence, a stench of treason. The glow of the darkness, you brought in the daylight. The cure will not kill you, there's no such mercy. Rules of the nature are fair and cruel. We cannot wait for you, for limbo, forever! Don't make us walk away, packs stay together. Fear would be justified, will be there soon. The things that you do will infect us too. Feel the world has let you down! Somehow, we cannot see this. Have to bear the winterburn. You can only wait, if it will fade with time. Where's your trust? Where's your heart? Where's your soul? Who's your friend? Who'll be there in the end? Who do you call a friend, should we start to bewail? A lot of things are changing, and re-arranging. I have to say I saw it coming, yet did nothing. In the darkest of times, B.o.B's earn the right for the name. Not all shared the idea to give you, the chance to fail us again, to bite off the feeding hand. Counting one, two...see? Odds defying the gravity. We'll move along, well fed puppy. You are too confident and careless to cut it. Had no rules, that is to change, or you'll forever run alone. You never will, the little child of the wild. You've got a skin, gray coat, they hate. No, you cannot hide behind your glowing eyes. You bear the sign and it won't fade! Feel the world has let you down! Somehow, we cannot see this. Have to bear the winterburn. You can only wait, if it will fade with time. It won't fade!

The leaves they fall, upon the day that makes a memory. Those pleading eyes, echoing silently in me. The final night, I guard her sleep, I can do without the fear's down deep. There's nothing good in this morning. Oh, and I know invested feelings, in the one I would outlast. My little friend is getting tired, fading fast. Did not want to see, the signs of the dimming flame. I need to have more time. No, I don't want to let you go! Tonight I fear I'll say goodbye, to my little friend. Don't want to let you go! The warmest heart I've found, I lower into the ground. My tears are forever with you, resting under your tree. You have always loved this place, it now belongs to you. I need to set you free, and go on alone. One day in my feeble timeline, you gave me your heart and stole mine. Tomorrow's came too fast for me, to hear your slow, silent goodbye. The kindest heart I've found, I lowered into the ground. Your smile kept me alive, back when the skies were still. You always liked this place, now sleep under the tree, I planted here the day, when you were born. I should've been ready, seen the nearing end. My little old friend, a child! No, I don't want to let you go! That day I had to say goodbye, and turn the bend. But I'll never let go!

"There is a man in this world, who has never smiled. You may know his tragedy, the later years by heart. In the beginning there was, a mother, a father, and a child. A troubled little silent boy, whose life they worked to destroy. Known to us from this day on, by his father, Caleb." His mother came up with such a clever way, to save the day with a little white lie. He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it in a way. Father said: "I'm sorry only once, as I remember. The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son." One person can make, a difference, sometimes. Just turn his head, when the kid is still and has a weak neck. Smiled at his funeral: "Happy, you're dead." All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise. Glueing on his drinkin´ face, got ready to erase another day. Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight. Taught her son: At the end of every tunnel's, a little light. It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day. "He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not." "I hate it and fear can't face it. The child is not right, he's my greatest shame. Go out, create thunder, and stand right under that old apple tree, where dead snakes let him feed on those..." Lost hopes, all those kind words, could hurt him even more now. Somehow, lost one more way back home. Out on the lake he rows towards a monster, he should've been running away from, years ago. The past had made him blind to the way, he'd turned the pain into a way of life. Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade. He's the portrait of a man, his mother drew to hate forever. She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways. Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together. Over the hills, under the sea. Fighting the will, whole universe. Why does a man driving a hearse? Live in fear, gift and a curse. Taking 'em out, taking 'em all. Shooting the wall, over and out. When nothing moves, all's well, a decision he can find a way to live with... ...and dried up flowers are so beautiful. And it applies to all things living, and dead. For that I serve my time in my suite in Hell. "Now I ring the bell to tell the world, I'm ready when they bring out, the soon to be dead against the wall." This necessary evil has no heart. Flowers and people he will now enlace. A price he must pay serving a cold... ...Whatever God.

Number nine out of eleven little littermates, rotten apples all the way. Littermates, all with different fates, taught them almost all I knew. And now, the best, the primus! Number Nine of eleven little littermates. Feeling almighty, is after my throne. In the bright daylight, little Number Nine dressed to kill much like me. Takes a look at the free world behind the gate, of a castle and escapes. I leave the baits, the night awaits, snare well hidden for the littermate. Evaded all but one, one by one. Eleven little littermates, annihilate. Only Number Nine's not in sight. Hiding, for the moonlight eats the day. Kisses burn the paperthin wings away. Hate me, hate me if they want you to break me. Love is for the weak! And the restless, relief in the end. A broken lock and a twisted's dream. For an early tomb, destiny's overruled. Trailed it back, to the pagan cathedral. Don´t love me, don´t you dare! I lie, I cheat and I don´t care. Don't you go telling me tales about fidelity. Truth ain't safe with me. Insane, in pain, ran into a needle! Eye love, eye hate, don´t need anyone! Lights on, lights out, read it loud and clear, and hear the lion roar. Without my eyes, they failed me, knots untied. I turned my weakness, into a fine profession. More I hear and more I see, I can feel the path I choose. What I did was a must! Faced the music, away from the light. Alone, without a view. Someone thought to know me well, drowned me in a wishing well. Making mistakes, we all do, Worst of mine was trusting in a stranger. For now I'm feeling fine! Drank poison, liked the sign. Now touch the greatest fear, impaired to look sincere. One step behind you, turn around, and I am gone with what I need. The essence of timely death: cold and dark, loveless, hard.

My painted face, I'm a clown! And I'm laughing while, my dream turns into a nightmare. Fade away, I'm asleep, not too deep. The walls of night have left me scarred, the broken glass I stepped on twice. The ardent spirits' rusty edge decapitate me. I can't sleep, fear darkness! Go through the motions, did I fall asleep? I'm bowling, the old nine pin, a sign unwanted. Now I'm a target, I'm hot and frozen. Stormy rain, I'm stuck in an elevator. Breathing hot air, winds convey me. The number talks, and I cry in my own Hell. Wide awake, I'm asleep, see a friend as a ghost. I'm skating with a seal, the tarantula, the fly, the broken ring. The dusty little flea, an ugly giant, a disappointed child. Here comes the rabid snake, the broken violin, a wild ballet. Shakespeare and company, refuse to kill the kitten scratching me. I'm falling! I'm falling! I'm falling, I'm falling! I'm falling, I'm falling! Awake! You know, if you believe the dreams, the nightly visions, worlds entwined. Then you also fear your shadow! Paranoia, part two! All the good things, in my life dwell in my mind. Took a wrong lane every day, I hear myself say. Sickening's this feeling! My life, my hopes, my dream's, but a drop of fuel for a nightmare. They all turn out the same. My destiny, my flame! believing is control? No! The painting comes alive, takes me inside a world without a name. A place beyond compare! Believe the dreams that let you sleep! The broken glass you need to sweep, the book you read... If you found an explanation, to help you in any way. You are your own prison! Woke up today! The good and the bad, and the ugly dreams are gone! Jumped off the carousel!

The weight of days on me The corn is burning under my feet The words like circles And I’m waiting for someone to catch my fall In the deepest void of all Haven’t seen you in weeks No clouds in the sky to rain me a drop Loving touch I need! And I am killing time by the lake Diving off the cliff, many times Scarring myself, colliding on the lake bed so dry The world’s without virginity And souls have no integrity The word of grave old danger: Love! It’s all I’m after, I am done The ground’s not shaking under my feet The world’s not turning anymore Wind is a thief, lonelier than me! And it does not want me in here Plant a flower of love Care for it, water it Lounge in the shade of the stale champagne Take a look at a flower! So fatal, yet beautiful Showed the bee where to fly and then let it die The world’s without virginity and souls have no integrity The word of grave old danger: Love! It’s all I’m after, I am done Bring me to recovery Give it to me I’m after tranquility I somehow lost my line of sight Before I cast the final die Once planted plastic grapes! The harvest of a lifetime: real bad wine! The sum of false virginity And my lost integrity The word of grave old danger: Love! For you I’m after, I am done The world’s without virginity A souls with no integrity The word of grave old danger: Love! Bring me to recovery (oh...) Give it to me I’m after tranquility I somehow lost my line of sight Before I cast the final die Once planted plastic grapes! The harvest of a lifetime: real bad wine! The ground is shaking under my feet The world is turning And the wind has a friend in misery! But I know she only loves me!

They've decided to own the world tonight, create the standard, now roll the reel. Ambush the poor, take what they have, to create a warlike feel. Turn the page! One vision, resolution. Friends and allies, easy come. The golden moments, our lifestyle, depends on your children. We're doomed if the war is over, all is lost. Down the drain, keep fingers crossed. Hope the world forgets or the world forgives. Charm their minds and hearts once more, for me. Use the time in the public eye! "How we love you so!" Now people, you should know, who's your foe. Who's your friend, your enemy? The enemy! "Yes, you are needed, so badly wanted. If we wish to live in peace, we need to fight, it demands a sacrifice." New blood is gathered, donations needed. Every day, one soul away of your fulfillment, the necessity. Unplug the damaged toys, all amputated souls. For everything is over for them, we cannot. Use a man who's lost a hand, the education paid in full, as planned. Did you hear, they say! The ground they walk's always been holier than mine. Oiling the wheels with fire! The only, the righteous, the privileged ones, the law and the almighty power. Burning the fields for one flower. What was black is now blue, nothing much is really new. On the eve of Hell on Earth you walk the reddish snow. A chain of command lacks the balls to right the wrong, you proclaim. They always only change the cadency, the song remains the same. Kaikkivoipaiselta itsevaltiaalta avaimet elämään. Kahlehdimme ainoamme oikeudesta turvaan pysyvään. You made our babies go where no parent can follow. The song remains the same! For die we must, our heirs say. Drowning in sorrow forever left hollow. Itsevaltiaamme ääni korvissamme, lainan lunastamme, äideillemme muiston marmoriin. The bullets you created, shall be used against you by the people. All the things you buried, will be excavated and re-animated. Fear the future and fear the creed, we all can see what's been concealed. Together we stand alone behind the lines, with our bare bones. One, two, three, four. What the hell're we fighting for now? Five, six (six, six), lucky seven. Stripmine your private road to Hell. Had we known how this ends in our defeat? I wonder, would we still have given you, all the children you would ever need. Always washed their minds, clean and white like papers you have signed. And people, a single mind, you feed the beast, thus create a warlike feel.

If you were my child, I'd carry you away. I'd travel through time, before silence was born. No hope for the child, this world has gone bad. When, when's today, the machines say what is a man to do? No light, only suffocating dark. Deep burning pain. I'm losing everything I am, remember nothing of my past. Now it's all gone, and I fear the game is over. Save me, save me, save me! Take me away, away from this time, back where lies my home. Where is my home? Where is my home? Where is my home? My grass isn't green, my sky isn't blue. The river runs dry, my flower has died. This isn't my home! I follow the moon to find a path, away from the scorching sun. I follow the stars to my abode, it's burning! I seize the moment to hear a story, no one's telling anymore. the worlds forgotten, the words forbidden. I follow the moon to find a path, away from the scorching sun. I follow the stars to my abode, it's burning! I seize the moment to hear a story, no one's telling anymore. the worlds forgotten, the words forbidden.

Cry for help! Once I got caught in an avalanche, I must have died! When a black swan, flew to the rescue and cried. An offer I could not refuse, now I'm working on the other side. Well, I flew with the bird then, we flew all night! I got to see my prison, from a thousand feet high. Buy me a drink, and I tell you 'bout the black swan. Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal, a soul from, to buy more time. Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive, I buy my time. Need you to fly on the black swan. The date is set, we all must face it. Door to door, seeking salvation. I must, for die I wish not! My hopes stay afloat when you give in to the... Silver lining, sharp and so cold. Anger fades into a vague smile. You see, I'm ready to do it for everyone. I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now? Don't worry, I've done this before, it'll hurt like Hell and leave you sore. No use escaping, hold on to your ticket of gold, and close your eyes. One day I know you will sell your soul, and trade all you are for silver and gold. You'll gets an odd advice from a stranger. Take it from me, with love. Once I was in love with someone like you, engaged to be whole. Got torn out of your memories, covered in snow. I need to find a way, to pass on the gift I once received. I'm ready to face it, I'll take my chances. If I am returning to the deep dark snow grave, so be it. I should not rest now, but forever! I'll feed the ferryman's creed, with an empty promise for my lost soul. Must keep those black wings folded, until the darkest night. I steal a soul from you to buy me some time. Pouring boiling water on a solid frozen flower. Black nailed finger of the creator. Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal, a soul from, to buy more time. Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive, I serve my time. Need you to fly with the black swan.

It was not hard to choose all the words, that I should put in your mouth, in my own play of shadows. Between lines, word for word, Honey. See who I am, out where nothing's forgiven. A small yet very loud part of me, is still screaming after you. Good enough was good enough for me, as it should always be. You broke my heart when it was weak, guess you were not meant for me. I had a dream, you broke with your twisted ways. Still leaving me? Please take your time, but go away. Don't flash that light anymore, Honey. The seasons change, I was the summer to your heart. The winter lured you away more than once, now I know I am free. Good enough was good enough for me, as it should always be. You broke my heart and still I grieve. How can you be over me? I always thought we'd made it, found a way to live together. You saved the best for last, and now it's too late. I count the hours of the day, that seems to last forever. Words through the door, a glance from a broken window. I found your key from the floor, and my heart, suddenly, cut off clean. Good enough was good enough for me, as it should always be. You broke my heart and still I grieve. How can you be over me? Good enough was good enough for me, as it should always be. You spread a tale of lies about me, and I believed it, my heart's got a leak.
