When the end is getting closer
And the Earth has burned the sky
Now repent cause it's all over
Just let me die!

Here's the massacre
A mausoleum fit for me
Lived a hundred years
A hundred years I didn't see
Gave all my hope away
Is there any left for me

Bombs are splittin' atoms
What can the future bring
We can fill a million choirs
And wait till the children sing
We can walk a million miles
And end up in the sea

And our lungs just keep on filling
And lying when we breathe
The world is filled with liars
Liars like me
And I look at my child
It's fine like this feeling
Eyes blue like the sky
I see all of this meaning
I reach up to God
And I ask if I'm dreaming

So sorry I don't have those things that you're needing
Darling a kiss
Kiss me I'm leaving

When the end is getting closer
And the Earth has burned the sky
Now repent cause it's all over
Just let me die!

As my body lies here broken
And I'm carried to the light
Now my heart is finally open
Just let me die!

Everybody says greetings and goodbyes
Everybody pays, no one knows the price
We know the price of sin
The sin of sacrifice

I know I'll sin again
But who can save me twice?
How much can we ask?
You'll get the answer first
How much can we kneel
With the air that chills the Earth
The air keeps getting colder
My knees keep hittin' dirt
The innocent can cry
Without the guilty getting hurt

You ask who you love
And you don't know
No? Do you?
The spirit of God
Just passes right through you
You gave away heaven
Handed right to you
And I can see it all
Tell me: Is it true?
Kiss me my darling
Darling, I need you

Where do we go?
We, go, oh
Lord, I don't know where we go
We go, no
I don't know!

Where do we go?
We, go, oh
Lord, I don't know where we go
We go, no

Lord I don't know!

When the end is getting closer
And the Earth has burned the sky
Now repent cause it's all over
Just let me die!

As my body lies here broken
And I'm carried to the light
Now my heart is finally open
Just let me die!

Nightmare
(Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged you down below
Down to the devil's show
To be his guest forever
(Peace of mind is less than never)
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
(Burn the world your last endeavor)

Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning, pull the trigger

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooooh
It's your ********' nightmare
(While your nightmare comes to life)

Can't wake up in sweat
'Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancin' with your demons
(Victim of your own creation)
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
(Loathing self-assassination)

You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions,
Help you with your complications"

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooooh
It's your ********' nightmare
Hahahaha

(Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha)

Fight (fight)
Not to fail (fail)
Not to fall (fall)
Or you'll end up like the others
Die (die)
Die again (die)
Drenched in sin (sin)
With no respect for another

Oh

Down (down)
Feel the fire (fire)
Feel the hate (hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (lost)
Hit the wall (wall)
Watch you crawl (crawl)
Such a replaceable liar

And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real
(These signals of love)
But our life's made up of choices
(Some without appeal)
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
(As your nightmare comes to life)

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooooh
It's your ********' nightmare

--------------------

Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are MUCH TOO LOUD
Take a look in the distance
Try and see it all

Chances are that ya might find
That we share a common DISCOMFORT NOW
I feel I'm walking a fine line
Tell me only if it's real

Still I'm on my way
On and on it goes
Vacant hope to take

HEY I CAN'T LIVE IN HERE FOR ANOTHER DAY
DARKNESS HAS KEPT THE LIGHT CONCEALED
GRIM AS EVER
HOLD ON TO FAITH AS I DIG ANOTHER GRAVE
MEANWHILE THE MICE ENDURE THE WHEEL
Real as ever
And it seems I've been BURIED ALIVE

I walked the fields through the fire
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher
Couldn't survive the fall
Much has changed since the last time
And I feel a little less certain now
You know I jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it's real

Memories seem to fade
On and on it goes
Wash my view away

HEY I CAN'T LIVE IN HERE FOR ANOTHER DAY
DARKNESS HAS KEPT THE LIGHT CONCEALED
GRIM AS EVER
HOLD ON TO FAITH AS I DIG ANOTHER GRAVE
MEANWHILE THE MICE ENDURE THE WHEEL
REAL AS EVER

And I'm chained like a slave
Trapped in the dark
Slammed all the locks
Death calls my name
And it seems I've been BURIED ALIVE

Take you down now
Burn it all out
Throw you all around
Get you're ********' HANDS OFF ME
What's it feel like?
Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart
Now you're knockin' AT THE WRONG GATE

For you to pay the toll
A price for you alone
The only deal you'll find
I'll gladly take your soul

While it seems sick
Sober up quick
Psycho lunatic
Crushing you with HANDS OF FATE
Shame to find out when it's too late
But you're all the same
Trapped inside INFERNO AWAITS

Evil thoughts can hide
I'll help release the mind
I'll peel away the skin
Release the dark within

THIS IS NOW YOUR LIFE
STRIKE YOU FROM THE LIGHT
THIS IS NOW YOUR LIFE
DIE BURIED ALIVE [X2]

THIS IS NOW YOUR LIFE
DIE BURIED ALIVE

-------------

Oh how this sickens me
This wretched fools affair
I can't erase this from me
And now it permeates
In every thought I feel
The anger burns in my soul

No damn her
Still I feel my stomach turn
Choke back hold my head high im strong

No damn her
Still I choke on her lies
Not reeling im strong

No damn her
Still I feel my stomach turn
choke back hold my head high im strong

No damn her
Still I choke on her lies
Not reeling im strong

I wish I was free of This

-----------------

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
That comes alive when you take off her clothes
There's no telling just where she's been
Ask around but no one seems to know

Late at night when your looking to sin
Call her up and she'll lay down the law
You can't trust her 'cause she'll lie to your face
But that's not why you gave her a call

Awaits deep inside
The lust and burning desire

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know

Another thing about this girl I know
She's more comfortable down on her knees
Went to school, got a job, and then she shot into hell
All 'cause she's born to please

Don't get her mixed up 'cause she knows what she likes
Can tell the difference between right and wrong
She knows you're watching every one of her moves
Just more reason to string you along, yeah

Awaits deep inside
The lust and burning desire

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know

The first times hard enough
But you made it through
The seconds time I see the changes in you
She's got you somehow
You're needing her now

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know

--------------

My sixteen locked and loaded
All fear has been avoided
You say the words and my weapon is drawn
This one could be my last time
Some people call it war crime
I may be staring down a lethal site... to die

Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I do this for my family
My daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don't know
With colors never faded
Reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all, I'll crawl

Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I know what you're thinking
I've been there before
So think of the times
The time we spent laughing away
So think of the times, at home.

Now I find myself in my own blood
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
But now I'm hoping someone's there

I never meant to leave this world alone
I never meant to hurt the ones who care
And all this time I thought we'd just grow old
You know, no one said it's fair
Tell my baby girl that it's alright
I've sung my last song today
Remind the Lord to leave his light on, for me
I'm free

--------------

Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Facing time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can stay
You can stay away forever

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Facing time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
The ones we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Facing time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away

I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough despite
But I'll see you
When it lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied

So far away
And I need you to know

So far away
And I need you to
I need you to know

----------------
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can?t destroy what isn?t there

Deliver me into my fate
If I?m alone I cannot hate
I don?t deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn?t face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn?t hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren?t my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself

And I won?t listen to your shame
You ran away, you?re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don?t ever let me know
If you still care don?t ever let me know

She said live young and leave a wake of beauty.
That's all I ever could have asked,
Should have asked from you.
And I won't forget to write you,
When I get there soon.
'Cause you'll be lying dead
From stab wounds to the neck and chest again.

They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood.
Face first in a tale of awkward love.
They found you covered up in blood,
She's bleeding, she's bleeding.

Gone with the stitching in her heart.
Left out a silhouette that just won't
Heal and dying in your arms tonight.

In my dreams, we die. (Locked away)
With this blood and this knife.
In my dreams, we die. (Locked away)
With this blood and this knife, now.

I know it's all just a bad dream now.

So now midnight's here.
You're all alone.
They use this fear.
It's all just a bad dream.
And I can't seem to...
Wake up from this.

Midnight's here.
You're all alone.
They use this fear.
It's all just a bad dream.
And I can't seem to...
Wake up from this.

In my dreams, we die.
With this blood and this knife.
In my dreams, we die.
With this blood and this knife now.

I know it's all just a bad dream now.
(I know it's all just a bad dream now.)
It's all just a bad dream now.
(I know it's all just a bad dream now.)
It's all just a bad dream now.
(I know it's all just a bad dream now.)
I say...

This is the last time,
That I'll ever get to see your face alive.
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood.
And I know that every day's a new day.
And my dreams will never die.
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood.

She said live young and leave a wake of beauty.
That's all I ever could have asked,
Should have asked from you.
And I won't forget to write you,
When I get there soon.
'Cause you'll be lying dead from dreaming (nightmares).

So now midnight's here.
You're all alone.
They use this fear.
It's all just a bad dream.
And I can't seem to...
Wake up from this.

Midnight's here.
You're all alone.
They use this fear.
It's all just a bad dream.
And I can't seem to...
Wake up from this.

Midnight's here.
You're all alone.
They use this fear.
It's all just a bad dream.
And I can't seem to...
Wake up from this nightmare.

-------------------


A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there, back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
?Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
?Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again

Well, some search never finding a way
Before long they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade

A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
?Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again
