ve him or don't let me stay

Such a shame! Now you're out of my reach
And it hurts, I don't know should I curse? Should I preach?
Play the game, put a gun to your head
Smile, give me a shot, pull the trigger - you're dead

Going down, you're going down all the way
Down to the needle park
Going down, you're going down like a little kid
Lost in the dark

Last, last goodbye
You'll take yours and I'll take mine
Dance around the candle like a butterfly
Can you tell me why?

Last, last goodbye
Bitter as the silent cry
Blowing out the chance to do a second try
Just another try

Day by day, crossing oceans of pain
God, I wish I could stop this old runaway train!
Far away like a shadow, a ghost
Now the magic is gone and the spirit is lost

Going down, you're going down all the way
Down to the needle park
Going down, you're going down like a little kid
Lost in the dark

Last, last goodbye
You'll take yours and I'll take mine
Dance around the candle like a butterfly
Can you tell me why?

Last, last goodbye
Bitter as the silent cry
Blowing out the chance to do a second try
Just another try



1348

(Andersen)

Future's coming from the past
Who is first and who is last?

Fire's rising off the ground
Fear's the king, entire town
Looking up across the sky
Which one's turn to die?

All are one and world's apart
Undertaker's working hard
You'll remember the loss of fate
December '48

Devil's mark is on your face
Black death's all around the place
Rotten bodies is where it's at
Friends are gone and rats get fat

Cross on fire fights the night
Who will ever see the light?
Crowd in front of the heaven's gate
December '48



Makin' a mess

(Andersen)

I was raised in a far away land
Trying to be number one
Dad use to tell me: Whatever you do
Never let go 'till you're done

I was fighting as anyone
I was twisted around
I was broke just as anyone
On the way, way down

Never ever settle for less
Raise you hand, it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs the crown when you're head's on the ground?

Let me out
I'm just makin' a mess

Chip on my shoulder and look on my face
Changing my life on the fly
Too late to make it and too late to stop
Too late to figure out why

I can make you as anyone
I can twist you around
I can break you as anyone
On the way, way down

Never ever settle for less
Raise you hand, it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs the crown when you're head's on the ground?

Let me out
I'm just makin' a mess

The wind of sadness can shade the heart of gold
I'm gonna leave it all behind
I'm praying for a break if I could face the world
Without the sadness on my mind

Never ever settle for less
Raise you hand, it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs the crown when you're head's on the ground?

Let me out
I'm just makin' a mess



Far away

(Andersen)

In the misty morning after darkest night
I feel the heat, I do and I remember
Promises are broken, now that you are gone
Don't turn me down, I'm lost and I surrender

Give me just a sign
Help to cross the line
We'll turn back the time and start again

Far away - I can hear you're calling out
Far away - calling up my name
Far away - while the tears keep falling down
Far away - no one is to blame

Some feelings won't come easy, you have to hit them hard
You've burned the bridge and I fall in a sea of sorrows
Can you hear my prayer? Just bring back yesterday
I feel the pain, it makes me hate tomorrow

Take me for a while
Just to see me smile
I wish I'll never ever cry again

Far away - I can hear you're calling out
Far away - calling up my name
Far away - while the tears keep falling down
Far away - no one is to blame



Step by step

(Andersen)

Switch blade dance
And your friend goes down
I'm gonna hit you once
And you will kiss the ground

It's a sweet romance
No good and clown
Boy, listen, there's a new kid coming
And he's gonna rock this town

He's gonna rock it

I see the writing on the wall
No one's to blame, nobody's fault

Step by step - I got lost and I never found
Step by step - can't find my way around
Step by step - take a break, don't you put me down
Step by step - hands down, I'm busted to the ground

Kid's getting tough
It's like a civil war, a proper war
You better keep your ass
Behind that solid door

Looks like it's never enough
You keep on coming for more
Somebody tells me why
And what we're fighting for?

I'm standing back against the wall
Which one of us is gonna fall?

Step by step - I got lost and I never found
Step by step - can't find my way around
Step by step - take a break, don't you put me down
Step by step - hands down, I'm busted to the ground

Stay down

(Andersen)

They have promised you the world
And left you on your own
All your life is built on fear
Lies and hearts of stone

And now I realize
The promises were lies
I'm walking endless miles
I can't believe my eyes

Are you fighting to survive?
It's a lousy way to live
A wish to make it through the night
And nothing else to give

And now I realize
The promises were lies
I'm walking endless miles
I can't believe my eyes

Stay down, low down
Nobody cares if you're still hanging around
Stay down, low down

Who will you run to and who will you pray to?
When you are down on the ground

Who will help you when you fall?
Who will pull you up?
When you're praying for revenge
Who will make you stop?

And now I realize
The promises were lies
I'm walking endless miles
I can't believe my eyes

Stay down, low down
Nobody cares if you're still hanging around
Stay down, low down

Who will you run to and who will you pray to?
When you are down on the ground



Give it up

(Andersen)

Give it up, just let it flow
Killer's running TV show
Razor blade in action
Everything is live

Scandal makes a paper hot
You may like it, you may not
Marriage, rape, divorce
Somebody's butchered wife

Empire rise, they're built on lies
In the children's eyes

I'll never give it up
Never ever give it up
Never give it up
Give it up

Little kid some place abroad
Shot dead by the terror squad
Only one?
Just not enough to ring a bell

TV preacher will love to tell you
Pay a dime and God's for sale
Don't get scared
It's just another day in hell

Empire's turn, they're built to burn
We'll never learn

I'll never give it up
Never ever give it up
Never give it up
Give it up



Time

(Andersen)

Time
How long it's gonna last?
I'm living in the past
And running out of time

I keep running around in circles
I keep walking in the dark
I keep trying to wash away the devil's mark

I have my reasons to remember
I have my reasons to forget
I have my reasons to eject a safety net

'Cause we'll all fall down
On the cold, cold ground
Don't you turn around
Who's crime?

I'm running out of time
I've wasted all my time
I'm gonna need some time
I'm running out of time

I'm gonna finish off confusions
I'm gonna leave it all for good
I'm gonna quit on being left misunderstood

I'm getting rid of my illusions
I'm getting tired of the crowd
I'm getting out, I'm checking out, I'm getting out

'Cause we'll all fall down
On the cold, cold ground
Don't you turn around
Who's crime?

I'm running out of time
I've wasted all my time
I'm gonna need some time
I'm running out of time
