He worries no more than he Necessarily needs to fill his void As big as space never ending thrill He meets his will by choosing hate
Why choosing? Need us to smile too? Alright
Struggling to prevail
Foretaste The aftermath Which will be black As black as waste
We'll throw in an extra dance For just a little over 5 pence Need us to smile too? You'll turn our limo into a hearse Weighing just enough to run it over your curse Need us to smile too?
You lie, you lie, you lie

2. Even The Spirits Are Afraid
You think you were earning Burning the church of your god You were yearning Learning the birth of your dirt Did you think you earned it Burning your god That you thought messed up your life?
You spill red On my cloudy carpet
You think you were earning Burning the church of your god You were yearning Learning the birth of your dirt Did you think you earned it Burning your god That you thought messed up your life?
You spill red On my cloudy carpet
Your skin turns dust On my cloudy carpet
You think You were earning Burning Your skin turns dust No more you were yearning Burning Burning Your skin turns dust
Your skin turns to dust When holding it close to the sun And it burns the skin from you're your precious sun It burns the skin It burns the skin It burns the skin

3. Broken Glass
Strange vibe circles round Tries to comfort buzzing sounds
Form an arrow point at us We the target are the one
Place your bet on the best The fastest horse you can find
Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don't fall down
Breathe the air trough the water
Form an arrow point at us We the target are the center
Find the key lock the door Close your eyes for encore
Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don't you fall down Breathe the air trough the water
Find your peace turn inside You the target you the center
Find the key lock the door Close your eyes for encore
Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don't you fall down Breathe the air trough the water

4. You Learn About It
Now that we're through the hell with you We dont mind We just give it a sigh
We hardly knew what you were capable of doing But why don't you give it a try
Oh, you learn about it Oh, you harvest (untill you can make no more) All that's eating inside All that's eating inside
We hardly knew what you were capable of doing But why don't you give it a try
Oh, you learn about it Oh, you harvest (untill you can make no more) All that's eating inside All that's eating inside
Can't take no more..
Oh, you learn about it Oh, you harvest (untill you can make no more) All that's eating inside All that's eating inside
Can't take no more..

5. Souvenirs
Jump in heat Plunge to your truth Agree with your youth Consider defeat Part and part And separate We will
Brand new paths In ways to soothe Never disagree with your youth Part of your heart Will separate It will
The gift of your life All what was concealed No skin-deep a dive Your childhood revealed
You jump in heat Plunge to your start Don't underestimate You're own point of view Don't part your art Or hesitate Your will
The gift of your life All what was concealed No skin-deep a dive Your childhood revealed
You peel all the layers of forever You start the beginning of the end Breathing is bridging the gap Between black and light
And now you feel alive! And now you learn to dive you know! Breathing is bridging the gap Between black and light

6. We Just Stopped Breathing
Lying - down on Sidewalk - lying Running - tears down His ears - lying Lying - brought us fear
Where do we go from here?
One day - sixteen Woke up - sixty Gasping - hurry Hurry
Where do we go from here?
[Zlaya Hadzich]
7. Monsters
All you need all you need All you need Is all is now
All you need all you need All you need Is not what you're getting
All you live all you give All you live Fits in a teardrop
If you come closer I'll show you how it feels
All you need all you need All you need Is all is now
All you live all you give All you live Fits in a teardrop
Give what's worth remembering Give what's worth dying Give it al Oh, back for more
You just give it all Oh, back for more
If you come closer I'll show you how it feels
High is high Low is low Love is gone
The best ones are the first to If you come closer I'll show you how it feels
High is high Low is low Love is gone
[Zlaya Hadzich]
8. Golden Grounds
As the sand spreads wide open and the glow of the sun pearls the skin All hope is craving fluids and the yearning to where we've been
Golden grounds so absorbing When the heat of the sun boils the skin We have to stand the test of nature to return to where we've been
Hold on my saviour Keep my heart in holy dimensions Drag me on your back for one more day One more day
One more day
You give You learn You live You learn I guess what ever you may find It's all right to eat a piece of your mind
[Anneke van Giersbergen]
9. Jelena
My friend She tipped over Out of childhood into sadness She's always shining But nevertheless Her beautiful heart is drowned in grief
Sugar horse, lives inside Like a friend In need
Far and wide she'll gaze Upon the flowers bloom Jaded, her mind in a daze From the medicine gloom
They leave her with her friend A force of nature filled with strength
Sugar horse, lives inside Like a friend In need
[Anneke van Giersbergen]
10. A Life All Mine
Razor sharp I cut The bull from my life Too blunt your knife To slay this dreamer
We might be dogs astray No running line will hold us So rather kick and kill me I'll be butchered all the same
No words are spoken But the world is broken
'Cause I want something Something all wrong done A life instead of mere living Folding crumbling withering oh hell What difference when working the way
The crown of my work Is what I shall gain At the end of my days
Daylight awake to a puppet world No strings attach to this body of mine Folding crumbling withering oh well The punished pushed along the line All my actions, all my moves A life all mine to lose
The crown of my work A life all mine to lose A life all mine Is what I choose At the end of my days
