The weight of truth
Heavy like a rock
The stain of lie
Steady as a drop

So lets go down
Delirium, delirium dive
The hardest run
Sharp like a knife

Where the shadows reach
In the movement of fall
We will see it all.

Where the shadows reach
for the darkness we call
'til we feel it all

Let's stop pretend
And take what it needs
A scar will show
Short after the bleed

So lets go down
Delirium, delirium dive
Leave all ropes behind

Where the shadows reach
In the movement of fall
We will see it all.

Where the shadows reach
For the darkness we call
'til we feel it all

Seek and bleed
Oh, for one another we will care
For one another we will bear

Seek and bleed
Oh, for one another we will try
For one another we will die.

4 - 3 - 2 - 1
We have become
What we came to be

1 - 2 - 3 - 4
We still want more
More than we can give

As we're traveling and traveling out through the night
As we're traveling to enlighten.

You just keep, just keep on turning
While we keep burning to the ground.
You just keep, just keep you silence
While we're asking for guidance to be saved.
By the ruler of the golden age.

1 - 2 - 3 - 4
No more encore
No more stage to take

4 - 3 - 2 - 1
No need to run
No more rule to break

As we're traveling…..

You don't know what I long for
Know what I care for
Know what I look for in a debate.
You don't know where to go, where to find me
And whenever you're there
You're too late

Look where you took me
Look where you left me
All the poor doubts you try to instill
Noone will get me
Noone will find me
In this dark house up on the hill

Caught in a circle
Caught in a line
Tamed by the old fear
Folding the blinds.

Who says, Who says, Who says I can't
Who says, Who says, Who says I can't

You are one for a good time
No need for bad Wine
Leaving the dope and taking the key
Who is the taker, who is the breaker
Who's the weak one and who is the free.

Look where you took me
Look where you left me
Tying the knot and keeping me still
Noone will get me
Noone will find me
In this dark house up on the hill.

Wrapped up in phrases
Fooled by a word
Some things are better
Left and unheard.

Who says, Who says, Who says I can't
Who says, Who says, Who says I can't

You never look behind just keeping your cool
You go and cover up your face
You took some golden parts that cannot be replaced.

Who says, Who says, Who says I can't
Who says, Who says, Who says I can't

I leave these moments behind
just the road and some time
I leave these worries behind
all the doubts on my mind.

Oh, far from home the tide is highthe sails are set
Far from home the wind blows strong carries me away
Far from home the tide is high the pain so low
Oh oh oh oh

I leave these bad days behind
Only good ones to find
I leave these mean words behind
None of them being worth to rewind

Oh, far from home the tide is high the sails are set
Far from home the wind blows strong carries me away
Far from home the tide is high the pain so low
Oh oh oh oh

Let it go…

All the feelings far behind
Hope they never come, never come
All the demons on my mind.
Hope they never come, never come back.

Oh oh oh oh…

My heavy heart is a loaded gun
My heavy heart is on the run
My heavy heart is a fearful eye
My heavy heart is running dry.

My heavy heart is a bitter pill
My heavy heart is love that kills
My heavy heart is a dying man
My heavy heart won't understand.

My heavy heart is a frozen lake
My heavy heart so cold it breaks
My heavy heart is a lonely friend
My heavy heart will never mend.

My heavy heart is an empty room
My heavy heart so full of doom
My heavy heart so full of rain.
My heavy heart's a woman's pain.

A dark cold night, my fallen friend
We fell into the deepest end.
Another wishful fairytale,
That soon enough will be unveiled

But I'd rather go sleep in hell
Than eat the crap you tell
Oh, I'd rather be poor but brave
Than being your mindless slave.

Cause all I wanna do is stand here by the riverside
And watch the river going by
All you wanna do is catch another wave to ride
On the riverside.

Who longs for you, my lonely friend
And waits for you until the end
I'll burry you beside the rocks
Where the waves crash in the docks.

So keep on trying to plant the seed
Infect me with your greed
But it's too hard to believe
That you really care about me

Cause all I wanna do is stand here by the riverside
And watch the river going by
All you wanna do is catch another wave to ride
On the riverside.

I'm running, oh, I'm running
This whole life is a running game
Of catching planes and running trains
A better life, a better place

My whole world's living in a bag
Unfolding every single day
In catching planes and running trains
Over and over again.

And when I'm gone, I long for home
And when I'm home I wanna go 
And when I'm lost, I wanna be found
And when I'm save, I will turn around.
To a different life a different place.
A different world, a different case, that makes me feel alive.

I'm running, oh, I'm running
This whole life is a running game
Of taking chances, placing bets
For better luck, for bigger fame.

The whole world's running for a place
That noone's ever seen
Still catching planes and running trains
Over and over again.

I keep pushing and pushing myself to show
I keep pushing and pushing myself to know
I keep pushing and pushing myself to be
Another bigger and better me.

One truth might have promised 'an eye for an eye'
Another one 'turning the cheek'
For the keeper of glory writing our story
Taking the whip till we shriek.

Who'll be our saviour? Who is our god?
Who wants to pick up the mess?
Our sins and confusions, our lies and illusions
All revealed and undressed.

I keep pushing and pushing myself to show
I keep pushing and pushing myself to know
I keep pushing and pushing myself to be
Another bigger and better me.

When fear is the patron still asking for more
The soldier will keep up the pace
Choosing the winner by marking the sinner
Like truth was a question of race.

We're twisting and turning our ankles, ourselves
Until all our ideals match
Calling "We are the people" down from the steeple
like faith was a matter of fact.

It's so damn hard losing control
Let myself fall into you
It's so damn hard to just let loose
Into the blue.

It's so damn hard to just give up
All the dreams you held so high
It's so damn hard to let them drop
Into the blue

Although the highest risk of all
Is never fall, never fall

It's so damn hard to loose it all
Watch myself fall on the ground
It's so damn hard to let it go
Into the blue
