Captivated by the Drama
01:50
|
|||
From tonight, we feel like giants
And we’ll rise through the ashes
While we all are high on hope
this might raise the question
Are we embracing danger
or is it better to die tonight?
We feel like giants for the rest of our lives

Wolves Among Us
03:31
|
|||
Should I believe the words that my poor eyes tell me?
And see what they see with these endless possibilities?
I know the road we still have to travel, along with our dreams
A roaming existence
A travel to the end of this misery
This moonless night is beneficial
Our time has not yet expired
One night is enough to make the legend come alive
Listen to the deep noise of a staggering thought
In the course of time our doubt is sown in the spirits among us
Chaos reigns over the ashes that’s in our dreams
Take advantage for the moment to come along with this scene
The wolves will devour us, the winter has come
but they won’t drink our blood, with the anger among us
They won’t get our flesh, we will keep our bodies
Because the flame of life will not be taken away from all of us
These wolves they cry as thunder and lightning
This creates the spoiled generation, the insane scum
Their greatest ambitions soon be left as nothing but dust

Circles
02:52
|
|||
I'm playing my records, over again
Keep spinning in circles, like I'm on top of them
That's what your friend said
Can we move on with our lives
now that we're half dead
and trying to survive
You got me on a cliff again
If not now, when?
I'm playing my records, over again
Keep spinning in circles, like I'm on top of them
I can't get no sleep
all I do is repeat
things over in my head
Untie the knot to cease what we've got
You got me on my knees again
If not now, when?

Dead Friend Cemetery
03:01
|
|||
Let’s dig up our dead friends
Let’s grieve about their innocence
Though I wouldn’t bet my life on it
What is left since they are gone?
Can someone tell me what went wrong?
Life is quiet as a grave
Seem they were rotten to the core
Time after time our hearts got sore
Love to get back to one of those days
Glory didn’t seem to fade
Now you’re dead we might need you
We cannot bear to die
Now you’re dead we might need you
For we feel you now
You might be glad you’re no longer around
Same bands, scars and this shitty town
Guess we’ll never get out of here
A graveyard full of memories
Long lost hope and sad stories
Rattling bones for us to keep
They haunt until daylight comes
Will they ever find their peace?
Back to better times
If they are not on our minds
Question all to see that we need to find
our dead friends’ cemetery

Moving Mountains
03:00
|
|||
Please start acting normal like you’re satisfied
I know you are sentimental
because you can’t seem to hide
You find it harder to resist
to use the arguments full of bitterness
We carved our names in wood
It’s a proper reminder of our wasted youth
Now that love will tear us apart
I know you won’t remember
that we were wild at heart
I guess time took its toll
It crushed our hearts and bruised our souls
We carved our names in wood
It’s a proper reminder of our wasted youth
In an age of growing older
We’re still moving mountains
To find our names back in the wood
But wood will hold its history more than it should
Strike a match and burn it down
Or we keep on moving mountains

Victory Song
02:53
|
|||
We are under heavy fire while the captain lost his tongue
We don’t know where it went but from the start it all seemed wrong
It took us days to call for arms
Pray for hope to stay because we won’t stand a chance
If we could end this fight with giving up on all that we love
With a final shake, a final shake of hands
Let’s celebrate the irony in our own victory
We won’t get away
No, we won’t get away this time
It’s time to decide on which side we are on
It’s becoming treason to survive
All of the efforts and all the waste of time
We are looking back on failure
So, we grab and hold on tight to the victory on our minds
With a final shake, a final shake of heads

Saltwater
02:29
|
|||
It carries your feet to the coast
Where you put them into the water
And your soul goes back and forth
It rises with the tide
And flows back to sea
If you could stop the flow
it means the world to me
Let the tidal wave wash you back to shore
Kissed by the waves, down to the ocean floor
Crushed by water and beaten by the wind
Back to earth, another life begins
Like a cold blanket loved warmly
Swallowed all the old sentiment
And the salt will wash your conscience
Fighting the flow whilst in the middle of it
So, dive right in and come up again
Breathing in and out again
Dive right in and come up again
Breathing in and out

The Borderlands
02:29
|
|||
We’ll sing to half-filled rooms
Burnt a lot of verses too
Shaking dust from the ground
Even though no one cares about
We scream and shout
If these goddamn words get out
Our dreams got lost
killed by the noise in the background
Welcome to the home of tragedy
A place where you feel miserably
These are the borderlands
Shitty venues and fucked up bands
These are the borderlands
Same old faces and dirty basements
These are the borderlands
It’s where we are born and where we stand
We’ll sing to half-filled rooms
Burnt a lot of bridges too
Another night and another floor
You might think our life’s a bore
Another mile in this terrible state
Why would you decide to stay
Our dreams got lost
and it never felt so great
Dismal country for the exile
These dead-end cities are the worst of them all
we are so fed up
with your conscious smiles
Dismal country for the exile
These dead-end cities are the worst of them all
we are so messed up
there’s no heart to be found

Cut Loose
03:02
|
|||
I’m about as bored as it gets and more
And it’s hard to pull up roots in this shit hole
The weight of this heap keeps me from falling asleep
I’m wasting my days away
And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to make it up to you
But take these shackles off my feet
I bet you will never allow for me to be quiet now
When it is said and done
And I guess this should probably hurt, but it’s alright
But I will let you know how far that I am willing to go
And I will say goodbye to my stuff, to these streets, to everything as it seems

Hospital Rides
03:15
|
|||
I want to thank you for the ride to the hospital
When you said you should have left me for dead
Isn’t it strange that we’ve never met before?
Tonight, I’m not quite sure anymore
There is the alcohol in moments
Where we argued songs of romance
When we sat and talked for hours
on the long ride back to home
I picture your sad face
The one that gives me chills on the bad days
Sorry that I need to say, but I like you in your worst way
We are nearly alive with all these people around
Out of balance with these words that combine
What would be original and what would cause a fight
So, thank you for the ride to the hospital
Now that we stumble and fall into the great unknown
Nothing seems forever, but it all seems to go

Restless Minds
03:27
|
|||
Passing by emotions on the inside
From fear and love, towards the edges of life
Can you hear the noise that echoes around?
At every place, we might be safe and sound
Lost in circles
This momentum will pass
Finally figured out
No place to call home
We share the burden of all the unknown
There is nothing wrong with letting people go
Once they’ve seen the spark
The one that rushes through our hearts
Let us listen to the restless minds
Before they leave for heaven, hell or alike
We share the burden of what’s been gone
The fire rises on and on
Finding meaning for all we’ve done
We are getting closer, so, carry on
Creating memories with every song
They tell us something about what went wrong
Once we’ve seen the spark
The one that rushes through our hearts
We are not listening, if you are not listening

I Will Never Die
02:51
|
|||
Look my body dissolves
There goes a foot
I think I’ve lost my leg
My body is falling apart
I guess this is the end
Unless you know how to stitch
my head back on to my neck
Wait, I don’t need it anymore
I can live without my brain
Never used it before
Who needs speech?
And I don’t need my goddamn smell
All things won’t be forever
Unless you know how to stitch
my head back on to my neck
My body feels like the enemy
I better run out of energy
This brings me nothing good
All that’s left is just a memory
From this day, I lost my memory
I can’t stay the same
With these bits and pieces
For anyone to take
Please don’t take my hands
For I need them to hold on to
I know these stiches will ache
I keep them as a reminder
For love to save my face

Embracing Danger
02:27
|
|||
The moment you lower your head at night, the day seemed all right
But when the morning comes there is blood or wine across your teeth
You sank in too deep
So please don’t talk and please don’t breathe
You woke up on the floor in the morning light, gasping for air
I’ve waited for this moment to come, to strike on us with fear
This is it my dear
So please don’t spill your blood all over my sleeve and please don’t breathe
Keep calm, let’s face it
We’re just embracing danger
Got to hold on for luck
Cause if not, we’re fucked!
Drag yourself from the pavement, while your heart is out to rest
The blood you’ve spilled made me only second-guess
If you hit the bottom
Now you got the chance to breath your final breath
You’ll know it’s real when it hurts
It’s the fear that will come first
We’re just embracing danger
For better, for worse
