Poets of the fall

The reaper's kneeling at your field taking in what you've sown (Can't help feeling apprehension) No point in waiting for a rating for what you have grown (Look for liquid consolation) If I act accordingly will it save my humanity You're either you or a loyalty...

Oooooh More than you know it, i'm aware Of this connection that we share Yeah I know it seems like sometimes I don't care But you are the colours that I wear It's been a few hours, nearly dawn You've been real quiet all along Now I cannot help but think there...

Seems to matter what I do, so I'm saving this 4 U Cos it seems to be the last piece there is And you haven't had a chance yet to taste this Fragments of a life you shouldn't miss Seems to matter what I say, so I'll hold my tongue at bay And rather use my mout...

I'm not looking for words I’m not running from hurt I just want you by my side In this moment in time Feels I'm crossing a line I'm not looking to set things right This tear I cry Falls like healing rain Softly soothes my pain This surrender it feels...

I'm in way too deep like a poser And falling for the dream's just the ground getting closer I guess it’s how our lives get painted in scars With everything riding on a joker With the paradise syndrome strap on for spurs Regret is the skin you shed just t...

Hiding deep within, doors cry opening Lead into the light of love deep like the sea Rich in variety, heartfelt and open, wide like a life, unique, yet so alike Can you hear me, I know I'm just a whisper Can you hear me, brother mine, sweet sister Love wi...

[Verse 1] Do you breathe the name of your saviour in your hour of need And taste the blame if the flavor should remind you of greed? Of implication, insinuation and ill will, 'til you cannot lie still In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil come clos...

When you leave the world behind Lock the doors and turn the lights down Whispers, schemes, resigned N’ you haven’t got the will to try and fight Do you see how it’s your thoughts come conjuring Emotions show the world you keep within So weave the world a...

You say you feel a chill in the season Like something is falling apart You say you can't hold it together much longer And I should look after your heart But I feel a change coming on Rolling out of the blue like a storm And it's bending your will like a w...

Warriors, torchbearers, come redeem our dreams Shine a light upon this night of otherworldly fiends Odin's might be your guide, divorce you from the sane Hammer's way will have its say, rise up in their name Oh, Memory and Thought Jet black and clawed...

Parallel to life, there’s wisdom that seems out of reach like a figure of speech in a maze of white lies, so elusive it’s hard to recognise with naivety’s eyes It’s like running with a knife The thought steals away with your peace and high on that trapeze...

Cars in the night, cut through the mist Baby suns for eyes, diamonds on your wrist Twist in the scheme, a permeating theme A violin crescendo Dark violet skies over seas of lead Hard violent fights, red sun will set Like a rivulet, like a tear beget A...

It's the season of dust trailing old pick up trucks Seashells washed ashore down by the docks So baby pull on your blue jeans turn the radio loud Don’t wait for the hour to give birth to doubt In the peak harvest of snakebites and wasted hindsight When t...

I want to feel the sun shine On my face like a new day's just begun And I'll steal a moment's fun And reflect on all those days long dead and gone The memories still rock my cradle Yesterdays sing me a lullaby I can't fight it It takes me back To the...

Looking at the road that rises up ahead I thought I'd learned a thing or two But this is where it's all made new N' I gotta throw my hands up I can't go on if I can't stop Look the leaves are dead The moments gone, there's no surrender Forever now unsa...

You had the blue note sapphire eyes, To back up all those gazes To pierce my guard and to take my soul off to faraway places Told me I'll never be alone, 'Cus you're right there We took a gamble with this love, Like sailing to the storm With the waves...

I ain’t so pure of heart myself that I can go and say how you should be But I know the temptation The meaning you will give your life is up to you no safety guaranteed But it will be amazing Spectres of suspicion hone in on your love Hungry inquisition...

[Verse 1] This place a palace of light drawn with shade Of silence and pretence a token of our trade And here you and I lie wreathed in flames All over a life lived by making up new games Of gazes and whispers [Chorus] I want you to know I still love y...

When darkness is no less than everything you've built become undone There's no fight and no flight, disaster leaves your passion overrun It's time to let go, it's time to carry on with the show don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn n' I will be standing...

Rolling down the freeway, master to the speed of light, Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night No rest, I've stayed here too long, It's time to move on Reality's a three way, a scenery defined By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just bl...

I hear a sigh, longing for loving in this life The how and the why, that keeps us running through the night Touching divine, for me it has only your face I'm looking to find pieces of wisdom I've misplaced I don't make the rules dear You don't hear the sympho...

"Desire" Fatal velocity, comes on with a rush, overpowering, gives the final push What never moves, is never still, who has the final word It holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial, but can...

In these days of manmade wonders we still bicker over flies When you come seeking for forgiveness, I'll be forced to choose my side If I deny you what you're searching, do I do it out of fear Am I ruling out my reason, killing that which I hold dear Out of m...

Sometimes I know there is nothing to say So do I pick up my puzzle and just walk away? Do I follow my conscience? Am I mock sincere? I don't know what i'm doing here I have a knack for perceving things I can see how it sounds I can feel how it sings When you...

I've got this madman in my mind This prolific designer And he's working overtime And he gets all wired up Higher and higher as we fly We're Poets of the Fall Perfect near fatal headlong dive A blueprint for live, blueprint your life Aggressively prima...

Too late The melody is over The joke seems to be on me cos I'm the one not laughing Down here on the floor Deflate The mystery of living In the most heartless fashion I could ever imagine No pretense of decor Another place and time, without a great divide...

Tell me this, would you miss it, trying on another face again to see if it's you N' wondering where you've been And where you're gonna find yourself before the night is through I know the way you go cos I've been the same for too long Like I'm fearful that m...

Silly thoughts of small deeds Everything that once answered to your needs The thoughtless but kind The caring but blind Everything fades away Everything fades away, come turning of the tide For your love i'm sorry For your pain, don't worry Everything fades a...

[Verse 1] Getting lost singing their song Caught up in all I've done It's all I know, but not what I need Cut by my love, cut till I bleed [Chorus] So I want to run to your shelter tonight Run to the shelter tonight United in silent resistance Of bow...

It's a bit like a trip, but you hit it with a slip of a tongue, like a whip, and we're sinking, it ain't cool to be cool, though you may think it a laudable tool of self evaluation, of ego cultivation, n' I'm rolling my eyes like the stones for the lies, is it...

I remember laughter My rollercoaster emotions Oh, how they echo in my mind Like counterfeit excitement This happy pandemonium Of zooming in on our next high And it feels like flying It's a fool's paradise And here we go denying That there's always a...

You’ve been biting bullets all these years, I know There beside yourself, choking on tears And you aced avoiding possibility When you placed your bets on bittersweet Now don’t you worry No need to be sorry Time to step lightly Cos the love you used to...

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder Which way to the years I've let go by Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear For yesteryear Oh to see the sun's eclipse on the horizon like ships sailing...

"Gravity" Here at the station, standing in the rain, lost in my train of thought Looking around for a better time again, but yesterday ain't running on this track Unpredictable fortune, my past, lights up my future, at last, ending my torture Like gravity l...

Oh my lord, I'm way gone busting knucklebone day in day out, breaking my back for a way out, but it never pays And we're down and dirty we're the underdogs, hurting for the numbers in the captain's logs, and his evil ways And if the man he don't tell,...

I burn to make you understand One wrong word and it all may come crashing down For the fates are devious by heart They envy you your dreams, so they'll let you drown And there is no why, there is no how, it's like the sky, just one free flow But you're h...

A single kiss for your treasure There just left at your door Life has shown you no pleasure before Double cross for a symbol Name your rosary beads You will nurture the fable till it bleeds Bleeds for your love No more tragic love for sale in the croo...

Look in my eyes i'll make you see We're drifting aimlessly Blind in a world of make believe Hear them sing their songs off key n' nod like they agree Buying the needs to be discreet I've got no hand in matters worldly I hardly care at all What's going...

Baby, I've been feeling a bit on edge Lately, I've been careless at making bets Living in a world where it's always Monday One AM and dark, and it's always pouring Where you can feel the weight of a new day rising By the neon furies of advertising But b...

Can you feel the void between us Nothing there but light, yet it seems like the weight of the world Keeping us here in the dark If I allow our blessings define us Bearing the scars of our loss like it's all we deserve When passions we hold will depart I...

Here I go again Rushin’ head long Without a second thought Our reality awaits I choose to fantasize And I build myself another piece of this memory estate But I can’t find the key to walk inside My own lies are The way you walked in I would kiss the...

"King Of Fools" I worry that I can't give you what you need That you'll find nothing underneath the peel That I can't undo the times we disagreed That I can't ignore the way I feel Cos what I feel is the only truth I know And I get by on this naivete of yout...

In our headlights, staring, bleak Beer cans, deer's eyes. On the asphalt, underneath Our crushed plans and my lies. Lonely street signs, powerlines, They keep on flashing, flashing by... And we keep driving into the night; It's a late goodbye, such a l...

Times when I just can't bring myself to say it loud Afraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry That is when it seems we move in circles day to day Twist the drama of the play to get us by And it feels like fear, like I'll disappear Gets so hard to...

They're locking up the sun, the light of reason gone, n' hope has been succesfully undone The question's burning on, where is it coming from, no-one seems to know the monster born It's a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible Scapegoat...

Hey, what's going on? Whatcha doin' here? Is there something wrong tonight? Do you remember who I chose to be? My best friend in this life Life doesn't run a clear course It flows through from within It's supposed to take you places and leave markings on...

I'd stay the hand of god, but the war is on your lips How can I brace myself for razor blades on whips When everything with meaning is shattered, broken, screaming And I'm lost inside this darkness and I fear I won't survive I could pray and trick with a doub...

She can see about four satellites every minute of the hour And find a four leaf clover where you never saw a flower She's habitually paradoxical, a parallel perpendicular Barefoot in nightgowns, that's how she dances in the rain Sundown to sundown, like she w...

I will close my eyes to see your face again Let the love I feel rebuild my faith through pain, I remain Defenses down Heart in my mouth I still hear your voice, calling my name And like every new choice, it carries the promise That we'll find our love,...

I see shadow and light Stroking the mist And I hear voices take flight And send out our wish Of peaceful dreams on a night Moonlight kissed Tendrils of smoke lash the street And shamelessly court Sisguised honey sweet To cater all sorts And hush...

Yeah decency, she done left our home On her rollerskates, so I guess she's pretty far gone Left me with my greed, to answer for my own For how could a deadened sense tell right from wrong So thanks for nothing I ain't feeling the magic Kinda comic how I...

Rise with me now And we’ll walk to the shore We’ll look over the waves To the break of day I’ll hold your hand I’ll hold you close I’ll wipe away your tears And no one will know I’m the morning tide We’ll hoist the sails to break the crushing waves...

Night, the world, it's mine, with nobody else out here It's time, run wild and royally cavalier To burn, ignite, I'd do it for so much less When all is made clear there is nothing else And here we stand, the sweet arresting duality And I come to, it's res...

We can't seem to let go The thread's so thin it just doesn't show anymore It seems like we're playing charades Playing like we're afraid to live And this is one sacrifice I don't want to make If there's no end There can be no beginning, there can be no...

I’ve talked to the ladies down the walk I've drunk in tattoos that have brought the world to my eyes Understanding opens doors to the intricate weave of how good tomorrow could be Been doused in elixir to numb my pains And black and white thoughts have a...

Hello old lovers of mine, my little boy wishes of fortune’s kisses Now dreams cast aside In the fading light your crown of thorns becomes a halo of branching horns And yet so beautiful I see you gently swaying in a sea of seesaws Slumming in the shack T...

I see you crying and it rains Washing away the bad days Washing away the pain loss brings yeah And then you smile though it aches Cos you don't believe in mistakes Just that we made a mess of things When the deal that you made with love is now a one way stree...

This is my toothpaste moment, oh, I'll need to flash a smile I'll be the super-absorbent-man, watch them flock to me in single file And I'll need to do it with style, I need to keep me up to date Swallowing the sun run another mile, it's overrated how we un...

"Psychosis" Well it's a different man in your face And so out of place That you can see anything there that you wish Kiss my bliss It's like I'm a welcoming freakshow doormat Held in awe while growing fat in the head This is where we all should see red A big...

What is beauty compared to grief What is joy in league with sorrow A dead rushes' fleet drifting on a quiet tide N' does a sunset know its worth Making yesterday tomorrow Is there a silence on this earth before every tear's been cried For you, for you...

"Revolution Roulette" If this machine doesn't stop, what will you do if it never goes out Never goes out of season It never stops as it turns, there ain't no passion, yet it burns Introducing my prison Losing myself in this place, soon I'm gone without...

What do we have but illusions Where one man's absolute is another's choice Giving in to confusion Till love and hate both tempt with the same voice Won't you take me to a higher ground I need to see again the way I'm bound N' choose the uneasy redemption Run b...

I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go at what i thought i knew was real, held no appeal i've been to places, i've seen the tidings, i bought a book of rules for every coin that i could steal and so i came to gaze upon the sta...

Like whispered hot secrets your restless dreams will fade away In still life like motion slow through the frantic rush of the day With lackeys of lust crowding the streets N' I know they would steal your heart to see my love tortured Render trust a hosta...

Gotta get a hold of myself I see them gathering around And they need me to do their will It's like I'm standing again On the same window sill Am I happy on the pill If I wanna be the man Should I open my wrist again Would that make it excellent, yeah...

Never said you'd promise anything Never told trust you blindly Never thought you'd hurt me either Never had a chance now aint that so Never should've wept when you let go Never thought you'd push me away Sad as it may be I'm glad it's over finally Sp...

I can feel it in the air, I can feel it young and strong Like an intoxicating dare For some residue of joy, simple pleasures and delights Would you buy that ruthless ploy, would you buy that ploy Mark my words it’s not quite what you thought Shadow play...

More in my face than is my taste I grow so weary i'll surrender to what they say Let them lead the way Till' I can no longer remember my darling dreams Prewritten scenes, whatever felt my own So to save face i'll take my place Where I may safely feel alone Gl...

I'm just looking to live to learn how to live Slowly starting to see it's me I will need to forgive Cos it seems like I'm stuck here between What I know and what I cannot know now With too many choices of which way to go Insight's a no show I don't need...

She stands by the corner shop At the edge of a rainbow she thought the solution Someone painted on the wall He writes in his daily journal Eyes blindfolded, gathering pieces With no direction to go anymore When whats real becomes Just another source o...

We made ourselves a home out of our dreams Brought with us this love, now bitter sweet And maybe I could say now that I always thought of you Are you wrong to walk with me your whole life through And I know, we go deeper than skin But what lies within?...

Hear your heartbeat Beat a frantic pace, and it's not even seven AM You're feeling the rush, of anguish settling You cannot help showing them in Hurry up then or you'll fall behind and they will take control of you And you need to heal, the hurt behind y...

I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth But there was no harmony there No reason for coexistence Nothing to span the distance, now Do we even know who we are Living like all life is forfeit Like we c...

Flies with a broken wing, she's ever so graceful, so like an angel, but I see, tears flow quietly. The struggle she's seen this spring, when nothing comes dancing, paying a handsome fee, and still she smiles at me. And I can't take it, no I can't help but...

[Verse 1] Some people never Settle for the one One love forever Searching for the sun Heat-blasted faces Promises at dawn A constant flux of stages Before they're gone [Chorus] How do you live so gracefully? (And would you show me) How can I save...

Down on your knees to find your way  Through this labyrinth of whys Time and again, rig and replay When nothing justifies Or leaves a trace to tell  A way out of your shell  To sample life Time is a wraith at the point of no return A memory of the ligh...

Do you remember standing on a broken field White crippled wings beating the sky The harbingers of war with their nature revealed And our chances flowing by If I can let the memory heal I will remember you with me on that field When I thought that I fou...

On your palm an endless wonder, Lines that speak the truth without a sound. In your eyes awaits the tireless hunger Already looks for prey to run down. So why do we keep up this charade? How do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait? Wha...
