lyrics:

Would you Dare Look Over your Shoulder,
Do you fear what's Coming 'round the Bend
Do you know what Comes while you're Growing Older
Would you ever Turn your Back Again?

Does it Stop Your Heart, does your Hair turn Greyer 
let me tell you now it's gonna Be O-Kay Baby,

I MISS THE QUIEEEET
I CAN'T DENY IIIIIIT
AM I TO FIGHT IIIIIIIIT 'CAUSE 
EVEN AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, I only want to 
Stay.

The Endless Void couldn't Fathom
the Fate I've Wished upon a Star
In your vessels all, so very Unbecoming,
I'll turn you All, INTO A MARTYR

When you're brought to your knees, and there's Nowhere to Run, just
Let me Tell you baby HERE IT COMES NOW 

I MISS THE QUIEEEET
I CAN'T DENY IIIIIIT
AM I TO FIGHT IIIIIIIIT
OR BE DELIGHTEEEEEED?
I MISS THE QUIET, OH YES I DO
I CAN'T DENY IT, I KNOW IT'S TRUE, OH BABY,
I MISS THE QUIEEEEEEET, but
EVEN AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, We've Only Just BeGun.





I MISS THE QUIEEEET
I CAN'T DENY IIIIIIT
AM I TO FIGHT IIIIIIIIT
OR BE DELIGHTEEEEEED?
I MISS THE QUIEEEET
I CAN'T DENY IIIIIIT
AM I TO FIGHT IIIIIIIIT
OR BE DELIGHTEEEEEED?
I MISS THE QUIET, OH YES I DO
YOU CAN'T DENY IT, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE, OH BABY,
I MISS THE QUIET LITTLE, THINGS I'D DO BEFORE I
ENTERED ALL THE VIOLEEEENCE, DEFINING SILVER LINING
I MISS THE QUIEEEEEEEEET
I CAN'T DENY IT, I KNOW IT'S TRUE, OH BABY,
I MISS THE QUIEEEEEEET, but
EVEN AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, I'm Only Having Fun.

I'm Only Having Fun.

I'm Only Having Fun.

I'm Only Having Fun.

Minds

It's in the dark
It's getting Closer, Closer
It's in the eye, So blind
for not a one Beholder
And yet you stand
And drown in Terror, Terror
Do you Decide
Or is it taking over?

Without a thought
Without a Reason, Reason
Without a mortal mind
to make a Timely Treason 
Cry for the moon
Cry for the Dawning, Dawning
Wherein Demise
couldn't Pull the strings-- make it

Right on the Line
Let it shine
as the Ticking Time
Counts you Down
Rolling through
To the Tomb
Closing soon
Only you that it's all-
All without
just know I've

Got My Hands on the One that you Love
Watching you
Trying to Fight
But it Isn't ever quite enough
I do the things that are Freeing to Me
Would you Abhor the Dark
If it brought you Unending Glee ?
Code of a heart, watching stance on a Dime
Until the
Beating Stops, edges sharp on a such dulling Knife
Cut to the chase, where the Roles are Undecided Again
The Never Ending is You
Before your act is Through


So What? If you really can do it
What would it Prove
When it's about to Strike!

I Don't Think that You're a fool, but if
I'm in the Wrong, then Can you really Tell Me Who's Right?

Don't Step to the Winds of Change,
Are you Really Tryinna Stay the Same, 'cause
I've been afraid that 
You'd run away from
All that you say, you'd Do, and if you can't make it

Right on the Line
Let it shine
as the Ticking Time
Counts you Down
All the Way
To the Ground
and I'll have you
Know that it's You it's
All Without
just know I'll--
Auf Einmal,

Ersetzt dein Ego dein Alibi. . .
Ich denke So weit
Die Audienz betrügt wird, Auwei, ist
Es nur ein Spiel der Zeit
Bis dann die Fassade zerfällt
Du sitzt mit Däumchen am drehen und willst einfach nicht sehen, das es so nicht hält
Ebendrum
"You should know
It Only Takes One"

How could I 
Pay the Price for what I haven't Done, initi-
Ate the Weight of a Game you know I've Never Won
'Til Today, they finally Smiled at me, Would you ab-
Hor the dark as it Brings you unEnding Glee
Code of a heart, watching stance on a Dime
Until the
Beating Stops, edges sharp on a such dulling Knife
Cut to the chase, where the Roles are Undecided Again
The Never Ending is You
Before your act is Through 

Or Can't You Curb the Hunger Pangs
I'll never Go Away
Or Bite the Bullet Ant In Two Fangs . . . .
What have you Got to Say

One More wouldn't Really Hurt
Is adDiction Really So Absurd, I 
Know that you Like to
See through the Lines, so
Sift through the Sands of Time

Letters Written Out, with Spells of the Past, in the language of 
Dance you're, Tryin' your Best, to Raise up your Shield, Broken Up by your
Lance, Blood's been Stricken, all the Words are Written, so I've got
None left to Say, No....

Red-handed

Lights dimming 
Upon the
Rain-riddled fantasy
Keep moving
Only time'll guide it down
Into the riverflow
Waves crashing
Without a
Reason to Rhyme your Misery, Oh
Too Tempting
Pick up your strife and See This
Beauty

Do you want it? Really Really want it?
Will you take it? Come along and take it?
Wanna fake it? Hide your own and fake it?
Oh, It'd taunt you until the day you break it

See yourself, What's all inside that dead shell
Till the rotten, dying bits all Within'd bloom away
By the power within me 
Can't you get ahold of yourself? 
Get on out there, won't you give 'em hell
Till you've shown 'em all every bit of you, babe  
Maybe you could let me set 'em free

Maybe you could let me set 'em free
Every little triviality

Midnight, starin' at the time
Waiting for someone else
Like you can't ever move on
'Cuz you're afraid of fallin'
'Cuz you're too scared to live life
And you're too scared to give love
But it's love that can overcome all of the hate swimmin' in your head

If you want it, Really really want it (If you want it)
You can make it, baby, you will make it (You can make it)
Go and face it, show yourself and face it (Go and face it)
Oh, it'd haunt you if you don't embrace it

See yourself, What's all inside that dead shell
Till the rotten, dying bits all Within'd bloom away
By the power within me
Can't you get ahold of yourself? 
Get on out there, won't you give 'em hell
Till you've shown 'em all every bit of you, babe  
Maybe you could let me set 'em 

Free to see it all
Free to break the shackles you held in thrall
You'd recall

Before we met
You sat alone
Rotting in that cell
You came to me
I helped you see what you oughtta be
You've been so redeemed

(Backing vocals are the same as pre-chorus 2 and chorus)
Though you tried to hide
Know I always saw through your silly disguise
Now we see the real you inside

My pleasure and duty
To bring it to view
Now you're showing your Beauty
The power in you
Now won't you show all the world who you are
Who you are
Who you are
In your heart
Come on and shine oh so bright
Bring all the darkness to light
Your light
See your Beauty
The Beauty in you
Won't you set it free
Oh, won't you do It For me
Won't you Shimmer so BrillIantLy
When the Shadows Creep In underNeath all your Skin
You Just shrivel em up with your Beauty
Woah Woah Na Na Etc.

Beauty

Don't
Don't you cry
Don't deny
What you see
When it's time then to sleep
Go
And when dreams
End to wake
End to make
Anything you desire 
Inside Our Wild Ride
I Think You'll Take Your Time
Peer Deep Into My C'est La 
Vie, Given for
Glee 
But there's
Nothin' no-
Nothin' no-
Nothin' no-
Nothin' no-
Nothin' no-
Nothin' no-
Nothin' no-
Nothin' no-
No, No, No, No
Your heartbeat rings so
Runnin' and
Runnin' and
Runnin' and
Runnin' and
Runnin' and
Runnin' and
Runnin' 
Ain't serving your soul
You're better to know, that
Beggin' and
Cryin' and
Pleadin' and
Stealin' 
Don't go very far
On the line You 
walk till it's over
It's
Comin' to
Comin' to
Comin' to
Comin' to
Comin' to
Coming to
Take you Away
So Slough off your skin or decay

Slough off your skin or decay

...So breakin' the peace is how we're gonna roll this twisted entropy
Two-timing your life is foolishness at its best
To break free of your shell
The glory
Is something
I'd be remiss to have missed
The brain'd lie to tongue's defiance
But I know what it means to say
But I know what
You are yet to be
So
Give in,
Give in, Give in
Let go, Let go and
Make It Real
Slippin, Slippin
Slippin
To you, To us and
To Forever
No

...So broken to pieces shattered on the ground, the scales stand again
You're comin' to show some real pride from something less outside of you
No matter the pain
You're dreaming
'Bout every-
Thing that you wanted to see
Praise may be to minds and martyrs
Stokin' fires on their great graves
Stokin' fires
Rising to the skies we
Lived in, lived in,
Lived in
Let go, Let go and
Left that passion
Risen, Risen
Risen
Dreaming, Dreaming
Show your one true light

not by me
