Sunset

I should have never left you here alone In these times of trouble we should have see, The dark times ahead of us. I hope you won't inherit our hateful mind Don't walk the dark paths we left behind Just stay on the bright side. You may all be praying, encouraged by light It was only a wall to hide behind You fought for us to save our lives. In this time, in this time we can see, you wanted us to know. I saw them coming, they were right on time, To witness the fall of all good we had in mind, How did it come this far? A flash and all was lost, the flames did come, and they were bitter cold, we did this to ourselves... You may all be fighting, encouraged by the light That's all you had to hide behind, You fought for us to save our life. In this time, in this time we could be, the ones you have set free. I should have never left you here alone In these times of trouble we should have see, The dark wars were coming. I hope you won't inherit our hateful mind Remember the fire we left behind, We did it to ourselves... You may all be fighting, encouraged by the light That's all you had to hide behind, You fought for us to save our life. In this time, in this time we can see, that none of us were free...

Love, birth and other wonders, The gifts we share each life... This world where I found it all, Does take children away from life. This battle could not be won, Each soldier left someone behind, And I fear for the next Christmas, without you... Paradise was brought down on it's knees today, Close the curtains, turn out the lights... Cause this play is over, Let us drift into the night, I would only be sitting here by myself, without you... For each life that died, a falling angel, God must be shaken on his knees... For all he took away that day, My faith could not be saved... I believed in you, And I miss you... I still miss you, I still believe in you... I believed in you, And I love you... I still love you, I still believe in you... I still do....

The ghost that guarded my soul has fled from me, And left me here alone... left me here alone... What was once my tunnel of light became a stinking hole. A rotting conclusion of my life, And at my grave a priest for remembrance should have prayed, Under heroic flags I should have lain... And it makes me want to follow, The way you had in mind. I would hail you for your wisdom, If you would lay your hand in mine... Every minute that I've waited, Every hour that I've lived, No war would stop me from following you, Even peace can't keep me here... The shrunken should doesn't fit me no more, I have betrayed my honesty. I cry in shame... This shrunken veil doesn't fit me no more, Unrecognizable to my loved once, I walk alone... This shrunken veil doesn't fit me no more, Unrecognizable to myself I walk alone... Where are the flowers, where is the light? Where is the grave that remembers my life? Where is the glory, where are the priests? Now raise your hands and let us get over with.... This life i lived... Was it your knife? Did it end my life? Was it your knife? Did it finish my life? Was it your knife? Did you end my life? Was it your knife?

The silence, the coldness, It's the monster that we feared. When we felt down, into silence, It was the moment that we heard it.... I remember what you told me, What you told me when we danced It was your last words, It was the last dance that we had... I feel you still, you're holding me, I remember how you felt. How you promised, to hold me, To hold me until death... I remember what you told me, What you told me when we danced I'm alive still, I'm still, without you... You could bring upon me tears of joy, You raise me into the light, I still see you in my dreams sometimes, The dreams in which we hide... I remember what you told me, What you said to me that night, You could fight no more, you were dancing into light... In silence... In silence... In silence we will dance...

What the hell do you want from me? Is it this you want to see? That I will flee from all that is inside of me, Is it this what you want, man? Is it this what you want to be? A childhood's grave, that's what I'll be... What do you want from me? My faith is in the hands of destiny You escape, I escape from what I'll be I dream about the peace In which we together should have been... And I laugh, a little lie for a bit of sympathy, And all I've done, another lie for a bit more sympathy... Yes, I will wear this... What the fuck do you want from me? Is it this what you want to see? The child is dead in me, And it's grave is what I'll be... So what do I want now, Is it this what I will be... Can someone save me? Can someone save me from me?... Can someone save me, save me from me? Can I save you from me?...

Collateral so to speak, suppressed by aggression, We couldn't reach those walls, We couldn't break these walls... And when help came along, what did it do for us? Hope and screams, dope and dreams... We used to hide... We used to hide... We used to hide... We used to hide... Reading between the scars, some could see the pain... House of crows, the darkest grows And as we all moved on, we never really lived, We couldn't walk away, we would have walked away... We used to hide... We used to hide... We used to hide... We used to hide... We never really lived, we never talked... All the dreams we had, drowned in fear And we never held hands, we never spoke... There is so much we have lost, so much to forgive... We used to hide... We used to hide... We used to hide... We used to hide...

Frail angels, came across but couldn't reach me so they left... I'm too much stuck, in the creature... in this zombie that I became But I see what is gone and I wish to find again that what I need The wars we fought, they made me hate you, But all I need is you to see me with your eyes... Yet you're gone... You have left me forever more... Always trying to push you a little further more into this maze, I've killed my fear with alcohol, but the pain did never go... All these words you say are building bridges in my anger, So just stop playing me, No I won't go any further, just forget me... I'll be another name in your diary, Please shut up and just tell me where to go... Just tell me where to go, Tell me where to leave.... Bury me deep into the grounds of your life, Put me behind all the walls of your past... Forget all I've said and never remember a word, But don't forget what we had in these years... It was better over worse... It was better over worse... I'll bet it will never get any worse, Than this...

I met my fellow warriors in this great war The good ones thought me how to grief right, the bad ones showed me how to hate... And in a way we all feared the same I think, Grief, faith and fear maybe hate, They were all the same to me... They took me to a place when I could see, The truth in you and me... When we thought we could change the world, For the good within you and me... Glory feeds on tragedies that we hide away in the subjective truth of time, Never to be told, for heroes we need to cover our wrongs, But in time they will burn just the same, When the smoke has cleared only death and dust... and pain! And they never really told us until years after this, Looking back... Evil wasn't evil for real... But just a bad choice... That wasn't really a choice... With blood red hate they wrote our names, We were fighting on the wrong side... They took me to a place where I could see, The truth in you and me, when we were young and full of greed... We thought that we could chance the world, Did we trust to much on reason and buried away our dreams? The world however couldn't see, That there was no honesty, And we did never really see, The truth for you and me... It died with you and me...

We're older... We're elders of all those to come, From fathers to sons to new fathers... To teach them the future by seeing the past of all those before us, We raise them... We raise them what we saw, we must fear it, Cause we have been drawing their future, We need to fear all we teach them, Or they all fall down... I'm an outcome... Of the fears of the fathers before me, Subjective the truth that we stand for... These cultural matters we die for... With hope I pray, that I can make a difference in this dark world, To make up the hurts that I spread once, To end with my crosses forgiven... In my children's arms... And I feel time is not on our side now, Yet all those I wish for are with me... Afraid I'll be a thought left forgotten, Removed from the hearts of my loved ones... I live in submission... Of the fear to leave my children, Left to be forgotten... I don't want to die!... An outcome... Of fears of the fathers we are now, Subjective, the truth that we fought for, Man made, the truth that we've killed for... In silence I dream that we did make a difference for the new world, To make up the hurts that we spread once... To end with our crosses forgiven, in our children's arms... When silenced, we left them only ruins, We left them a past without answers... We were the lessons the never learned... We may all fall down...
