[00:19.37] white lands of empathica
[00:28.44] the end
[00:32.89]
[00:33.49] the songwriter's dead
[00:39.90] the blade fell upon him
[00:45.21]
[00:45.81] taking him to the white lands
[00:52.31]
[00:52.82] of empathica
[00:55.67] of innocence
[01:05.43]
[01:06.53] empathica
[01:13.28] innocence
[01:27.39] home
[02:00.85] the dreamer and the wine
[02:03.35]
[02:04.21] poet without a rhyme
[02:06.81]
[02:07.56] a widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell
[02:13.37]
[02:13.91] one last perfect verse
[02:17.17] is still the same old song
[02:19.92]
[02:20.87] oh christ how i hate what i have become
[02:27.64]
[02:28.54] take me home
[02:30.94]
[02:33.09] getaway runaway flyaway
[02:35.84] lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
[02:39.05] i cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
[02:42.51] i cannot die i a whore for the cold world
[02:45.91] forgive me
[02:47.21] i have but two faces
[02:48.92] one for the world
[02:50.57] one for god
[02:51.68] save me
[02:52.33] i cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
[02:55.33] i cannot die i a whore for the cold world
[02:59.14]
[03:13.77] my home was there 'n then
[03:16.88] those meadows of heaven
[03:20.43] adventure-filled days
[03:23.58] one with every smiling face
[03:26.63] please no more words
[03:29.39]
[03:30.34] thoughts from a severed head
[03:32.44]
[03:33.70] no more praise
[03:36.76] tell me once my heart goes right
[03:39.26]
[03:41.31] take me home
[03:43.72]
[03:45.72] getaway runaway fly away
[03:48.93] lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
[03:51.88] i cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
[03:55.13] i cannot die i a whore for the cold world
[03:58.63] forgive me
[03:59.68] i have but two faces
[04:01.79] one for the world
[04:03.09] one for god
[04:04.44] save me
[04:05.09] i cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
[04:08.09] i cannot die i a whore for the cold world
[04:11.50]
[04:20.05] the pacific
[04:49.62] sparkle my scenery
[04:58.14] with turquoise waterfall
[05:03.05] with beauty underneath
[05:06.25] the ever free
[05:08.96]
[05:11.07] tuck me in beneath the blue
[05:19.84] beneath the pain beneath the rain
[05:26.56]
[05:28.61] goodnight kiss for a child in time
[05:35.93]
[05:37.13] swaying blade my lullaby
[05:42.73]
[05:52.00] On the shore we sat and hoped
[05:58.97]
[05:59.97] under the same pale moon
[06:03.87] whose guiding light chose you
[06:08.28] chose you all
[06:10.23]
[06:33.18] I`m afraid I`m so afraid
[06:34.98] Being raped again and again and again
[06:37.64] I know I will die alone
[06:39.44] But loved
[06:39.89] you live long enough to hear the sound of guns
[06:43.64] long enough to find yourself screaming every night
[06:46.65] long enough to see your friends betray you
[06:49.96] for eleven years i've been strapped unto this altar
[06:53.11] now i only have 3 minutes and counting
[06:57.07] i just wish the tide would catch me first
[07:00.02] and give me a death i always longed for
[07:09.48] dark passion play
[07:10.43]
[08:20.71] 2nd robber to the right of christ
[08:21.81] cut in half - infanticide
[08:22.61] the world will rejoice today
[08:22.81] as the crows feast on the rotting poet
[08:34.58] everyone must bury their own
[08:35.83] no pack to bury the heart of stone
[08:41.73] now he's home in hell serves him well
[08:44.53] slain by the bell tolling for his farewell
[08:48.45] the morning dawned upon his altar
[08:51.35] remains of the dark passion play
[08:54.46] performed by his friends without shame
[08:57.32] spitting on his grave as they came
[09:00.22] getaway runaway fly away
[09:03.48]
[09:04.19] lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
[09:07.44] i cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[09:10.89] i cannot die i a whore for the cold world
[09:14.14] forgive me
[09:15.44] i have but two faces
[09:17.44] one for the world
[09:19.04] one for god
[09:20.39] Save me
[09:20.89] I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[09:23.55] I cannot die I a whore for the cold world
[09:26.60] a whore for the cold world
[09:30.40] a whore for the cold world
[09:35.76] Today in the year of our Lord 2005
[09:38.86] Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
[09:42.02] He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day
[09:44.57] The music he wrote had too long been without silence
[09:48.02] He was found naked and dead
[09:50.82] With a smile in his face a pen and 1000 pages of erased text
[09:54.17] Save me
[10:01.79] MOTHER & FATHER
[10:03.34]
[10:56.85] Be still my son
[11:09.21]
[11:10.97] You`re home
[11:12.87]
[11:19.97] Oh when did you become so cold
[11:25.53]
[11:32.78] The blade will keep on descending
[11:37.54]
[11:45.14] All you need is to feel my love
[11:52.26]
[12:00.02] Search for beauty find your shore
[12:06.09]
[12:11.15] Try to save them all bleed no more
[12:18.65]
[12:25.02] You have such oceans within
[12:36.15]
[12:38.76] In the end
[12:40.86] I will always love you
[12:45.18]
[13:00.51] The beginning
