Take a breath Hold it in Start a fight You won′t win Had enough Let′s begin Nevermind I don′t care
All in all You′re no good You don′t cry Like you should Let it go If you could When love dies in the end
So I′ll find what lies beneath Your sick twisted smile As I lay underneath Your cold jaded eyed Now you turn the tide on me ′Cause you′re so unkind I will always be here For the rest of my life
Here we go Does it hurt Say goodbye to this world I will not Be undone Come to life It gets worse
All in all You′re no good You don′t cry Like you should I′ll be gone when you fall Your sad life Says it all
So I′ll find what lies beneath Your sick twisted smile As I lay underneath Your cold jaded eyed Now you turn the tide on me ′Cause you′re so unkind I will always be here For the rest of my life
Don′t carry me under God sing for the hopeless I′m the one you left behind
So I′ll find what lies beneath Your sick twisted smile As I lay underneath Your cold jaded eyed Now you turn the tide on me ′Cause you′re so unkind I will always be here For the rest of my life
From the mountains of the moon to the mighty delta From the deserts of the West to the shining sea Beneath the canopy of stars flowed the serpent river Flowing through my father′s land that he left to me
From the baker to the priest to the candle maker From the highest to the low in my father′s land We make our offer to the sun ′fore the break of morning Or else everything we have will just turn to sand
I have a lot to ask I have a lot that I need to say I have so much to do And all I need is another day
From the soldier to the scribe to the carpet maker All the different colored threads in a carpet loom A woven tapestry of life is our mighty nation This is the writing on the wall of my father′s tomb
We have a lot to ask We have a lot that we need to say We have so much to do And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon I call you Beneath the desert moon I sing Beneath the desert moon so lonely I′m just a boy who would be king
With just the moon to guide us We sometimes lose our way If there′s a light inside us We′ll follow, follow it to the brightness of the day
Every single blade of grass every yellow flower Every ripple on the sea or the blue blue Nile Every leaf on every tree every single creature From the smallest little bird to the crocodile
We have a lot to ask We have a lot that we need to say We have so much to do And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon I call you Beneath the desert moon we sing Beneath the desert moon we′re waiting Before the coming of the king
Beneath the desert moon that′s sinking We see the Eastern skies on fire This is where darkness leaves And shining waters fall And let the shadows run And we′ll say, "welcome to the sun"
Brand new day...
From the mountains of the moon to the mighty delta From the deserts of the West to the shining sea Beneath the canopy of stars flowed the serpent river Flowing through my father′s land that he left to me
A mind full of haunted shadows Keeps away the painfull sleep Light a candle for the sacred moment Needless thoughts are in to deep Scary pictures behind the curtain Burn my eyes and melt the tears Lonleyness in a hidden chamber Unlock the doors to forgotten fears There is nothing left to take All I do is lay awake B e n e a t h t h e s i l e n c e
Mean and infectious The evil Prophets rise Dance of the Macabre As witches Streak the sky Decadent worship of Black Magic sorcery In the womb of the Devil′s Dungeon trapped without a plea
See thing in agony Necrosis is the fate Pins sticking through the skin The venom now sedates Locked in a pillory Nowhere to be found Screaming for your life But no one hears a sound Hellpp Mmmeeeeee Prepare the patients scalp To peel away Metal caps his ears He′ll hear not what we say Solid steel visor Riveted cross his eyes Iron staples close his jaws So no one hears his cries The skull beneath the skin Now your drawn and quartered Your bones will make the x Symbol stands for poison And it′s chained to your head And as we fold your arms To make the holy cross We cross the crucifix Religion has been lost The skull beneath the skin
Bewildered by silence Struck by its questions and lucid ways to make us aware I did not know how cruel that could be That so many cases will never be solved That so many stories will never be told I did not know how cruel that could be
Fighting a war that rages inside The world can′t see the hate that burns in there How can we face what lies beneath If we just fear and don′t fight back?
How many questions left unanswered? How many tears and inner strenght shall we need? How many times can we encounter this again and again? How many things exist that blind us? How many forms of brutal violence can we see? How many images of pain will make us numb? So hard, so cruel, we fail to see, we fail to feel? So afraid, even without the courage of despair
Fighting a war that rages inside The world can′t see the hate that burns in there How can we face what lies beneath If we just fear and don′t fight back?
Afraid of ourselves, afraid to stand up I did not know how cruel that could be
We failed to see, we failed to feel Still afraid, what if you love someone? What if this happend to your loved ones? What would you do if you were there at that time? What makes you act like nothing happened? Nothing′s wrong, you′re doing fine? What makes you think you are immune to this? What drove us so far to the edge of tolerance? If judging and accusing is so easy, then why Why still?
Fighting a war that rages inside The world can′t see the hate that burns in there How can we face what lies beneath If we just fear and don′t fight back?
Give me strength to face the truth, the doubt within my soul. No longer I can justify the bloodshed in His name. Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose? Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven′s door.
I believed it would justify the means It had a hold over me.
Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast It is the darker side of me. (Forgive me my sins) The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen. Forgive me for what I have been Forgive me my sins!
Pray for me ′cause I have lost my faith in holy wars. Is paradise denied to me ′cause I can′t take no more? Has darkness taken over me, consumed my mortal soul? All my virtues sacrificed, can Heaven be so cruel?
I believed it would justify the means It had a hold over me.
(Forgive me my sins) Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast It is the darker side of me. (Forgive me my sins) The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen. Forgive me for what I have been Forgive me my sins!
I′m hoping, I′m praying I won′t get lost between two worlds, For all I have seen the truth lies in between. Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done Now that I know the darkest side of me.
How can blood be our salvation And justify the pain that we have caused throughout the times? Will I learn what′s truly sacred? Will I redeem my soul? Will truth set me free?
(Forgive me my sins) Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast It is the darker side of me. (Forgive me my sins) The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen. Forgive me for what I have been Forgive me my sins!
Reach inside of me Far beneath the encasing of ashes Bleeding red Still showing signs of life Remove the darkness Take me away A Stream of Hope destroy this corrupted cell Purification (Leaving me desolate in the face of perfection) Unable to hide I am drawn to the fire It is this pain that brings me likely do
Carbon copy aftertaste The taste of lips so delicate Stop the click and watch the room Sitting pretty in full bloom
Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won′t kill Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won′t kill
Hold your breath this is the part That i′ve been waiting for Words spill out in front of you On your bedroom floor
Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won′t kill Your stain on my fingers like a headache that the pills won′t kill
I sat beneath the burning tree I never gave my world away (maybe I should, maybe I could) I sat beneath the burning tree I never gave my world away (maybe I should, maybe I could)
I never gave my world away Maybe I should maybe I could? I never gave my world away Maybe I could, maybe I would?
I never gave my world away (maybe I should, maybe I could) I sat beneath the burning tree I never gave my world away (maybe I should, maybe I could) I sat beneath the burning tree The burning tree The burning tree
