Nothing Else Matters (Live - May 30, 2014 - Stockholm, Sweden)

Heard the name in a stranger’s song,
Some said he was here, then gone.
Built of fire and second chances,
Left behind a trail of dances.

They say he smiled through aching bones,
Gave his light, though he walked alone.
Never asked for much, just peace,
But gave his blood so we’d be free.

He held the world with shattered hands,
Built his strength from sinking sand…

Joshua… they still whisper your name,
Like a legend caught in the pouring rain.
You gave it all, though you were barely whole,
Carried the lost, burned through your soul.
And I don’t know if you ever found home…
But damn, you never walked alone.

He loved like thunder, broke like glass,
Hid his pain behind a laugh.
Took the blows and wore the blame,
Never once forgot a name.

He’d pour his drink for the quiet ones,
Tell the moon about battles won.
But no one saw him bleed at night,
When no one watched, he’d lose the fight.

He held the world with shattered hands,
Built his strength from sinking sand…

Joshua… they still whisper your name,
Like a legend caught in the pouring rain.
You gave it all, though you were barely whole,
Carried the lost, burned through your soul.
And I don’t know if you ever found home…
But damn, you never walked alone.

There’s a man in the mirror sometimes,
Wearing your smile, your crooked lines.
And I wonder if you’re looking through —
Or maybe, you’re still walking too…

Joshua… they still whisper your name,
Through these towns, through loss and flame.
You gave your love, though your heart was torn,
A gentle storm, forever worn…

God Knows I’ve Tried

> Quod tibi, hoc alteri, ne alteri quod non vis tibi.

At the root of all state power’s might
Lie cannibal principles, old:
The golden rule dressed up as right,
Morals princes and kings uphold.
What suits Jove is pleased as can be—
Not so for the ox, it is plain.
But the leaden font’s decree
Is tattooed in the brain—
In each vein.

Do as I do!
Repeat after me!
Dash!!!
Stretch your arms in a ragged span,
Warm by fire, wash in the ash,
Each with a fair share— loss and victory— as man.

At the heart of every law,
Be it precedent, dogma’s decree—
An idol from icons of yore,
Peering into you and me.
Frost, when it passes the pools,
Turns all into shards of ice.
A law must be earned as a rule—
By each simple soul’s sacrifice.

Do as I do!
Repeat after me!
Blame!!!
It suits us well—death, a gift for the brother.
The garden of pleasures, the triptych of shame—
Three fates for three—scarred, living, one after another.

All morals begin, in the end,
With fortune’s sardonic sneer.
We did not write the tablets, my friend—
They were read aloud for us to hear.
One stencil fits all to the wall—
The law the same for all blood.
They say Al Capone, enthralled,
Heard his sentence—and wept where he stood.

Do as I do!
Repeat after me!
Growl!!!
Clamp the golden bit in your teeth.
It will be well soon, just wait, dear soul—
Who’s last for the ferry beneath?—
I’ll follow foul.

Lyrics
[Intro]

[Verse]
Smoky bar at midnight hour
Whiskey burning down my throat
Your silhouette against the window
Tells a story I already know
Every scar upon my heart
Sings the blues in minor keys

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river bend
Wash away these sins again
Let the current pull me under
Till I find my way back home

[Inst]

[Verse]
Cigarette between my fingers
Ashes falling to the floor
Memories like broken glass
Cut deeper than before

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river bend
Wash away these sins again
Let the current pull me under
Till I find my way back home
