”WHITE LANDS OF EMPATHICA” | |
The end. | |
The songwriter`s dead. | |
The blade fell upon him | |
Taking him to the white lands | |
Of Empathica | |
Of Innocence | |
Empathica | |
Innocence | |
”HOME” | |
The dreamer and the wine | |
Poet without a rhyme | |
A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell | |
One last perfect verse | |
Is still the same old song | |
Oh Christ how I hate what I have become | |
Take me home | |
Getaway, runaway, fly away | |
Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway | |
I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more | |
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world | |
Forgive me | |
I have but two faces | |
One for the world | |
One for God | |
Save me | |
I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more | |
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world | |
My home was there `n then | |
Those meadows of heaven | |
Adventure-filled days | |
One with every smiling face | |
Please, no more words | |
Thoughts from a severed head | |
No more praise | |
Tell me once my heart goes right | |
Take me home | |
Getaway, runaway, fly away | |
Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway | |
I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more | |
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world | |
Forgive me | |
I have but two faces | |
One for the world | |
One for God | |
Save me | |
I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more | |
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world | |
”THE PACIFIC” | |
Sparkle my scenery | |
With turquoise waterfall | |
With beauty underneath | |
The Ever Free | |
Tuck me in beneath the blue | |
Beneath the pain, beneath the rain | |
Goodnight kiss for a child in time | |
Swaying blade my lullaby | |
On the shore we sat and hoped | |
Under the same pale moon | |
Whose guiding light chose you | |
Chose you all | |
” I`m afraid. I`m so afraid. | |
Being raped again, and again, and again | |
I know I will die alone. | |
But loved. | |
You live long enough to hear the sound of guns, | |
long enough to find yourself screaming every night, | |
long enough to see your friends betray you. | |
For years I`ve been strapped unto this altar. | |
Now I only have 3 minutes and counting. | |
I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always | |
longed for ”. | |
”DARK PASSION PLAY” | |
2nd robber to the right of Christ | |
Cut in half - infanticide | |
The world will rejoice today | |
As the crows feast on the rotting poet | |
Everyone must bury their own | |
No pack to bury the heart of stone | |
Now he`s home in hell, serves him well | |
Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell | |
The morning dawned, upon his altar | |
Remains of the dark passion play | |
Performed by his friends without shame | |
Spitting on his grave as they came | |
Getaway, runaway, fly away | |
Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway | |
I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more | |
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world | |
Forgive me | |
I have but two faces | |
One for the world | |
One for God | |
Save me | |
I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more | |
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world | |
Today, in the year of our Lord 2005, | |
Tuomas was called from the cares of the world. | |
He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day. | |
The music he wrote had too long been without silence. | |
He was found naked and dead, | |
With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.” | |
Save me | |
”MOTHER & FATHER” | |
Be still, my son | |
You`re home | |
Oh when did you become so cold? | |
The blade will keep on descending | |
All you need is to feel my love | |
Search for beauty, find your shore | |
Try to save them all, bleed no more | |
You have such oceans within | |
In the end | |
I will always love you | |
The beginning. |
