Hello my friend we meet again

It's been a while where should we begin?

Feels like forever

Within my heart are memories

Of perfect love that you gave to me

Oh I remember

When you are with me, I'm free

I'm careless, I believe

Above all the others we'll fly

This brings tears to my eyes

My sacrifice

We've seen our share of ups and downs

Oh how quickly life can turn around

In an instant

It feels so good to reunite

Within yourself and within your mind

Let's find peace there

Cause when you are with me, I'm free

I'm careless, I believe

Above all the others we'll fly

This brings tears to my eyes

My sacrifice

I just want to say hello again

I just want to say hello again

Cause when you are with me, I'm free

I'm careless, I believe

Above all the others we'll fly

This brings tears to my eyes

Cause when you are with me, I'm free

I'm careless, I believe

Above all the others we'll fly

This brings tears to my eyes

My sacrifice

My sacrifice (I just want to say hello again)

I just want to say hello again

My sacrifice

Please come now I think I'm falling

I'm holding on to all I think is safe

It seems I found the road to nowhere

And I'm trying to escape

I yelled back when I heard thunder

But I'm down to one last breath

And with it let me say, let me say

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Maybe six feet ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over

Reflecting on all of my mistakes

I thought I found the road to somewhere

Somewhere in His grace

I cried out Heaven save me (save me)

But I'm down to one last breath

And with it let me say, let me say

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Maybe six feet ain't so far down

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Maybe six feet ain't so far down, I'm so far down

Sad eyes follow me

But I still believe there's something left for me

So please come stay with me

Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me

For you and me, for you and me

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking (thinking)

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Maybe six feet ain't so far down

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Maybe six feet ain't so far down

Please come now I think I'm falling

I'm holding on to all I think is safe

When dreaming I'm guided to another world

Time and time again

At sunrise I fight to stay asleep

Cause I don't wanna leave the comfort of this place

Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape

From the life I live when I'm awake

So let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

Can you take me higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me higher?

To a place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change

It helps me to appreciate

Those nights and those dreams

But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights

If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same

The only difference is

To let love replace all our hate

So let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

Can you take me higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me higher?

To a place with golden streets

So let's go there

Yeah, let's go there

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay?

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine

Can you take me higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me higher?

To a place with golden streets

Can you take me higher?

To a place where blind men see

Can you take me higher?

To a place with golden streets

Court is in session, a verdict is in

No appeal on the docket today just my own sin

The walls cold and pale, the cage made of steel

Screams fill the room, alone I drop and kneel

Silence now the sound, my breath the only motion around

Demons cluttering around, my face showing no emotion

Shackled by my sentence, expecting no return

Here there is no penance, my skin begins to burn

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

I hear a thunder in the distance, see a vision of a cross

I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss

A lion roars in the darkness, only he holds the key

A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

I cry out to God, seeking only His decision

Gabriel stand and confirms, I've created my own prison

I cry out to God, seeking only His decision

Gabriel stand and confirms, I've created my own prison

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

(And I said, ohh) So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

Can you help me out

Can you lend me a hand

It's safe to say

That I'm stuck again

Trapped between this life

And the light

I just cant figure out

How to make it right

A thousand times before

I've wondered if there's something more

Something more

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days

So let it rain down and wash everything away

I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine

With every tomorrow comes another life

I feel it's gonna rain

For days and days

I feel it's gonna rain

I've tried to figure out

I can't understand

What it means

To be whole again

Trapped between the truth

And the consequence

Nothing's real

Nothing's making sense

A thousand times before

I've wondered if there's something more

Something more

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days

So let it rain down and wash everything away

I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine

I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this, rain like this

Fall down

Wash away my yesterdays

Fall down

So let the rain fall down on me

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days

Let it rain down and wash everything away

I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine

I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this (so let the rain fall down)

I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this (so let the rain fall down)

I feel it's gonna rain like this

I feel it's gonna rain

Well, I just heard the news today

It seems my life is going to change

I closed my eyes, begin to pray

Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open under the sunlight

Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

With arms wide open

Well, I don't know if I'm ready

To be the man I have to be

I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side

We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open under the sunlight

Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything

With arms wide open, now everything has changed

I'll show you love, I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

With arms wide open

I'll show you everything, oh yeah

With arms wide open

Wide open

If I had just one wish, only one demand

I hope he's not like me, I hope he understands

That he can take this life and hold it by the hand

And he can greet the world with arms wide open

With arms wide open under the sunlight

Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything

With arms wide open, now everything has changed

I'll show you love, I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

With arms wide open

I'll show you everything, oh yeah

With arms wide open

Wide open

Affirmative may be justified

Take from one give to another

The goal is to be unified

Take my hand be my brother

The payment silenced the masses

Sanctified by oppression

Unity took a backseat

Sliding further into regression

One, oh one,

The only way is one

One, oh one,

The only way is one

I feel angry I feel helpless

Want to change the world yeah

I feel violent I feel alone

Don't try and change my mind no

Society blind by color

Why hold down one to raise another

Discrimination now on both sides

Seeds of hate blossom further

The world is heading for mutiny

When all we want is unity

We may rise and fall, but in the end

We'll meet our fate together

One, oh one,

The only way is one

One, oh one,

The only way is one

I feel angry I feel helpless

Want to change the world yeah

I feel violent I feel alone

Don't try and change my mind no

I feel angry I feel helpless

Want to change the world yeah

I feel violent I feel alone

Don't try and change my mind no

I feel angry I feel helpless

Want to change the world yeah

I feel violent I feel alone

Don't try and change my mind no

I feel angry I feel helpless

Want to change the world yeah

I feel violent I feel alone

Don't try and change my mind

Don't cry victim to me

Everything we are and used to be is buried and gone

Now it's my turn to speak

It's my turn to expose and release what's been killing me

I'll be damned fighting you

It's impossible, impossible

Say goodbye with no sympathy

I'm entitled to overcome

Completely stunned and numb

Knock me down, throw me to the floor

There's no pain; I can't feel no more

I'm entitled to overcome

Overcome

Finally see what's beneath

Everything I am and hope to be cannot be lost

I'll be damned fighting you

You're impossible, impossible

Say goodbye with no sympathy

I'm entitled to overcome

Completely stunned and numb

Knock me down, throw me to the floor

There's no pain; I can't feel no more

I'm entitled to overcome

Overcome

Overcome

You'll never know what I was thinking before you came 'round

Take a step, take a breath, put your guard down (overcome)

I cannot worry anymore of what you think of me

I may be crazy but I'm buried in your memory

I'm entitled to overcome

Completely stunned and numb

Knock me down, throw me to the floor

There's no pain; I can't feel no more

I'm entitled to overcome

(I'll fight till I die)

Completely stunned and numb

I'm entitled to overcome

(I'll fight till I die)

Completely stunned and numb

I'm entitled to overcome

I may be crazy but I'm buried in your memory

At times life is wicked and I just can't see the light

A silver lining sometimes isn't enough

To make some wrongs seem right

Whatever life brings

I've been through everything

And now I'm on my knees again

But I know I must go on

Although I hurt, I must be strong

Because inside, I know that many feel this way

Children, don't stop dancing

Believe you can fly away, away

At times life's unfair and you know it's plain to see

Hey God, I know I'm just a dot in this world

Have You forgot about me?

Whatever life brings

I've been through everything

And now I'm on my knees again

But I know I must go on

Although I hurt, I must be strong

Because inside, I know that many feel this way

Children, don't stop dancing

Believe you can fly away, away

Am I hiding in the shadows?

Forget the pain and forget the sorrows

Am I hiding in the shadows?

Forget the pain and forget the sorrows

But I know I must go on (go on)

Although I hurt, I must be strong (be strong)

Because inside, I know that many feel this way

Children, don't stop dancing

Believe you can fly away, away

Children, don't stop dancing

Believe you can fly away, away

Children, don't stop dancing (am I hiding in the shadows?)

Believe you can fly (forget the pain and forget the sorrows)

Away, away (am I hiding in the shadows?)

Am I hiding in the shadows?

Are we hiding in the shadows?

I can't find the rhyme in all my reason

I've lost sense of time and all seasons

Feel I've been beaten down

By the words of men who have no grounds

Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom

When your ax has cut the roots that feed them

Forked tongues in bitter mouths

Can drive a man to bleed from inside out

What if you did?

What if you lied?

What if I avenge?

What if eye for an eye?

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine

Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind

Human pride sings a vengeful song

Inspired by the times you've been walked on

My stage is shared by many millions

Who lift their hands up high because they feel this

We are one we are strong

The more you hold us down the more we press on

What if you did?

What if you lied?

What if I avenge?

What if eye for an eye?

I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind

Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life

So I'll just ask a question

A lonely simple question

I'll just ask one question

What if

What if

What if

What if

What if I

What if

What if

What if eye for an eye?

What if your words could be judged like a crime?

Hurray for

A child that makes it through

If there's any way

Because the answer lies in you

They're laid to rest

Before they've known just what to do

Their souls are lost

Because they could never find

What's this life for

What's this life for

What's this life for

What's this life for

I see your soul, it's kind of gray

You see my heart, you look away

You see my wrist, I know your pain

I know your purpose on your plane

Don't say a last prayer

Because you could never find

What's this life for

What's this life for

What's this life for

What's this life for

But they ain't here anymore

Don't have to settle the score

Cause we all live

Under the reign of one king

But they ain't here anymore

Don't have to settle no Goddamn score

Cause we all live under the reign

I said, you know, of

One king

One king

One king

But they ain't here anymore

Don't have to settle no Goddamn score

Cause we all live under the reign

I said, you know, of

One king

One king

One king

But they ain't here anymore

Don't have to settle no Goddamn score

Cause we all live under the reign

Of one king

I stand surrounded by the walls that once confined me

Knowing I'll be underneath them

When they crumble when they fall

With clarity my scars remind me

Ash still simmers just under my skin

Indifference smile again

So much I hide

How is stepping back a move forward?

Now I'm forced to look behind

I'm forced to look at you

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell which is you

Broken mirrors paint the floor

Why can't you see the truth

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell me which is you

Tell me which is you

Eerily time made no change

Pointing fingers, laying blame

Lying over and over and over and over

Deceiving your mind

Dug my grace, trash my name

Yet here I stand so you won't fade away

A different smile again

So much I hide

How is stepping back a move forward

Now I'm forced to look behind

I'm forced to look at you

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell me which is you

Broken mirrors paint the floor

Why can't you see the truth

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell me which is you

I bleed inside

(Wanna bleed)

Just let it out

(You gotta let it out)

Just let it out

(Gotta let it out)

I bleed inside

(Wanna Bleed Inside)

Just let it out

(You gotta let it out)

Just let it out

Just let it die

Now I'm forced to look behind

I'm forced to look at you

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell me which is you

Broken mirrors paint the floor

Why can't you see the truth

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell me which is you

Tell me, tell me, tell me

You wear a thousand faces

Tell me, tell me which is you

Tell me, tell me which is you

I lie awake on a long, dark night

I can't seem to tame my mind

Slings and arrows are killing me inside

Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine

No!

Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine

Simple living is my desperate cry

Been trading love with indifference

And yeah, it suits me just fine

I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone

Maybe that's why I feel alone, yeah

Maybe that's why I feel so alone

Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

No, it just won't heal, no, no, no

The sun shines and I can't avoid the light

I think I'm holding on to life too tight

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Sometimes I feel like giving up, yeah

I said, sometimes I feel like giving up

Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

It just won't heal

No

The day reminds me of you

The night hides your truth

The earth is a voice

Speaking to you

Take all this pride

And leave it behind

Cause one day it ends

One day we die

Believe what you will

That is your right

But I choose to win

I choose to fight, to fight

Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

I'm rusted and weathered

Barely holding together

I'm covered with skin that peels

And It just won't-

Covered with skin that peels

And it just won't-

Covered with skin that peels

And it just won't heal

Peace is what they tell me

Love am I unholy

Lies are what they tell me

Despise you that control me

The peace is dead in my soul

I have blamed the reasons for

My intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who

The only one who

Would carry on this far

Torn, I'm filthy

Born in my own misery

Stole all that you gave me

Control you claim you save me

The peace is dead in my soul

I have blamed the reasons for

My intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who

The only one who

Would carry on this far

Peace in my head

Love in my head

Lies lies lies lies in my head.

The peace is dead in my soul

I have blamed the reasons for

My intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who

The only one who

Would carry on this far

The peace is dead in my soul

I have blamed the reasons for

My intentions poor

Yes I'm the one who

The only one who

Would carry on this far

The eyes around me are so cold

With every chance, they steal my soul

So walk with me, talk with me

Hold my hand, I'm stumbling in consequence

That buries me alive

Can you fix what's made to be broken?

I can't fix what's made to be

My heart is tattooed on my sleeve

I'm not hiding, no

It only hurts to breathe

My heart is tattooed on my sleeve

I know it's blinding, oh

It only hurts to breathe

Standing now, I'm alone

I need answers, tell me everything you know

So heavy is the night, exhausted

Whispers tend to crucify my mind

I'm fighting, but I'm blind

Can you fix what's made to be broken?

I can't fix what's made to be

My heart is tattooed on my sleeve

I'm not hiding, no

It only hurts to breathe

My heart is tattooed on my sleeve

I know it's blinding, oh

It only hurts, it only hurts

It only hurts to breathe

I shout out

Can you hear me?

Mistakes have cost me years

Do they cost you?

Are you like me?

Tell me, please

My heart is tattooed on my sleeve

I'm not hiding, no

It only hurts to breathe

My heart is tattooed on my sleeve

I know it's blinding, oh

It only hurts, it only hurts

It only hurts to breathe

You always reached out to me

And helped me believe

All those memories we share

I will cherish every one of them

For the truth of it is there's a right way to live

And you showed me

So now you live on in the words of a song

You're a melody

Cause you stand here with me now, yeah

Cause you stand here with me now, yeah

Just when the fear blinded me

You taught me to dream

I'll give you everything I am

And still fall short of what you've done for me

In this life that I live

I hope, I can give love unselfishly

I've learned the world is bigger than me

You're my daily dose of reality

Cause you stand here with me now, yeah

Cause you stand here with me now, yeah

On and on we sing this song

Cause you stand here with me

On and on we sing

On and on we sing

On and on we sing

On and on we sing (on and on we sing this song)

On and on we sing

On and on we sing (on and on we sing this song)

On and on we sing (on and on we sing this song)

('Cause you stand here with me) on and on we sing (this song)

Cause you stand here with me

I spent a day by the river

It was quiet and the wind stood still

I spent some time with nature

To remind me of all that's real

It's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone

And remember that you feel

I said it's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone

And remember that you feel

Again I stand

Lord, I stand against the faceless man

Again I stand

Lord, I stand against the faceless man

Now I saw a face on the water

It looked humble but willing to fight

I saw the will of a warrior

His yoke is easy and his burden is light

He looked me right in the eyes, direct and concise, to remind me

To always do what's right

He looked me right in the eyes, direct and concise, to remind me

To always do what's right

Again I stand

Lord, I stand against the faceless man

Again I stand

Lord, God, I stand against the faceless man

Cause if the face inside can't see the light, I know

I'll have to walk alone

And if I walk alone to the other side, I know

I might not make it home

Again I stand

Lord, I stand against the faceless man

Again I stand

Lord, I stand against the faceless man

Next time I see this face

I'll say I choose to live for always

So, won't you come inside

And never go away?

Next time I see this face

I'll say I choose to live for always

So, won't you come inside

And never go away?

Again I stand

Lord, I stand against the faceless man

Again I stand

Lord, I stand against the faceless man

Again I stand

Lord, I stand against the faceless man

Caught up in the middle

Had no choice, had no choice

Birthright forgotten, so silent

No voice

I see you

You know who

Little girl, little girl

Now realize little girl

Overlooked little girl

Bottled up and empty holding back

At loss you're forgotten

Getting back, get back

Expectations of another

Love given to the younger

Broken father, broken brother

Emptiness feeds the hunger

I see you

You know who

Little sister, little sister

Now realize little sister

Overlooked little girl

Change, change, change

He said he's falling to pieces

Fighting the boy and the man

Over his shoulder there was freedom

But consciousness has tied his hands

Embodied youth was his distinction

Now inhibition's in demand

So driven by his fear of weakness

That's his key to understand

So far in a distant land

There's a fight between boy and man

See the light through the open door

Sit and watch as the young grow old

Trading places in the circle

Turn the glass, spill the sand

They say that time can make the difference

But age doesn't make you a man

So far in a distant land

There's a fight between boy and man

See the light through the open door

Sit and watch as the young grow old

So young but overblown

So young but overblown

So young but overblown (so young but overblown)

So young but overblown

Take a look now, see the boy is weakened

Watch him fade, watch him fade away

Take a bow and the boy is defeated

Is this the way, this the way?

So far in a distant land

There's a fight between boy and man

See the light through the open door

Sit and watch as the young grow old

To what do I owe this gift my friend?

My life?

My love?

My soul?

I've been dancing with the devil way too long

And it's making me grow old

Making me grow old, yeah

Let's leave, oh, let's get away

Get lost in time

Where there's no reason left to hide, yeah

Let's leave, oh, let's get away

Run in fields of time

Where there's no reason left to hide

No reason to hide

What are you going to do with your gift dear child?

Give life?

Give love?

Give soul?

Divided is the one who dances

For the soul is so exposed

So exposed

Let's leave, oh, let's get away

Get lost in time

Where there's no reason left to hide, yeah

Let's leave, oh, let's get away

Run in fields of time

Where there's no reason left to hide

No reason to hide

There is no reason to hide

There is no reason to hide

There is no reason to hide

There is no reason to hide

Yeah

Let's leave, oh, let's get away

Get lost in time

Where there's no reason left to hide, yeah

Let's leave, oh, let's get away

Run in fields of time

Where there's no reason left to hide, yeah

Let's leave, oh, let's get away

Get lost in time

Where there's no reason left to hide

No reason to hide

There is no reason to hide

No reason to hide

There is no reason to hide

No reason to hide

She wears a coat of color

Loved by some, feared by others

She's immortalized in young men's eyes

Lust she breeds in the eyes of brothers

Violent sons make bitter mothers

So close your eyes, here's your surprise

The Beautiful is empty

Beautiful is free

Beautiful loves no one

Beautiful stripped me

Stripped me

Stripped me

She Stripped me

In your mind she's your companion

Vile instincts often candid

Your regret, is all that's left

The Beautiful is empty

Beautiful is free

Beautiful loves no one

Beautiful stripped me

Stripped me

Stripped me

She stripped me

She told me where I'm going

And it's far away from home

I think I'll go there on my own

I think I'll go there on my own

She told me where I'm going

And it's far away from home

I think I'll go there on my own

I think I'll go there on my own

The Beautiful is empty

Beautiful is free

Beautiful loves no one

Beautiful stripped me

Stripped me

Stripped me

She Stripped me

She Stripped me

Stripped me

Hang me, watch awhile

Let me see you smile as I die

Take me, as my body burns

Let me see you yearn, while I cry

One step on your own

And you walk all over me

One head in the clouds

You won't let go, you're too proud

One light to the blind, and they see (and you walk all over me)

One touch on the head, we believe (your head and you believe)

Adore me as I drift away

Let me hear you say I'm fine

You cry as my body dies

All that you despised is gone away

One step on your own

And you walk all over me

One head in the clouds

You won't let go, you're too proud

One light to the blind, and they see (and you walk all over me)

One touch on the head, we believe (your head and you believe)

We believe

Yeah

One step on your own

And you walk all over me

One head in the clouds

You won't let go, you're too proud

One light to the blind, and they see (and you walk all over me)

One touch on the head, (and) we believe

We believe (we believe)

Oh, I didn't mean to yell

But sometimes I get beside myself

And oh, I didn't mean to rush you

But time keeps pushing so much

Oh, time keeps pushing so much

Your eyes stare at me in the dark

And I hope

Those eyes don't steal my freedom

My freedom

Oh, If I didn't give it all

When I stood you made me crawl

And oh, if you never heard the song

Then I could still hide down behind the wall

Then I could still hide down behind the wall

Your eyes stare at me in the dark

And I hope

Those eyes don't steal my freedom

My freedom

And I hope

Those eyes don't steal my freedom

My freedom

Oh, my freedom

Said eyes, those eyes

I said don't steal my freedom

Your eyes stare at me in the dark

And I hope

Those eyes don't steal my freedom

My freedom

Oh, my freedom

Your eyes stare at me in the dark

And I hope

Those eyes don't steal my freedom

My freedom

Oh, my freedom

Said eyes, those eyes

Said eyes, those eyes

I said don't steal my freedom

If you say I'm alive I guess I'm living

Why should I guess your size, a choice I've been given

Tell me everything's fine and peace is coming

I won't listen to the heartache I'm numbing

When the world casts me down and says I've changed

I'll survive on all the promises you made to me

Guess there's no one to blame

When all you're living on is bread of shame

Bread of shame

When the world says I've changed

Bread of shame

Just promise me fame I'll survive on the bread of shame

As long as you say I'm free

Then keep these chains off me

Tell me down is up

I'll let you fill this broken cup

When the world fall down

Let them fall on me

Cause no one's around who believe me

When the world casts me down and says I've changed

I'll survive on all the promises you made to me

Guess there's no one to blame

When all you're living on is bread of shame

Bread of shame

When the world says I've changed

Bread of shame

Just promise me fame I'll survive on the bread of shame

Tell me where I sign my name

Inside I find no peace of mind to hide behind

Only bread of shame

Tell me where I sign my name

Inside I have no peace of mind

Only bread of shame

Bread of shame

When the world says I've changed

Bread of shame

Just promise me fame I'll survive on the bread of shame

Riders on the storm.

Riders on the storm.

Into this house we're born

Into this world we're thrown

Like a dog without a bone

An actor out alone.

Riders on the storm.

There's a killer on the road.

His brain is squirming like a toad.

Take a long holiday

Let your children play.

If you give this man a ride

Sweet family will die.

Killer on the road.

Girl, you gotta love your man.

Girl, you gotta love your man.

Take him by the hand

Make him understand

The world on you depends.

Our life will never end.

Girl, you gotta love your man.

Riders on the storm.

Riders on the storm

Into this house we're born

Into this world we're thrown

Like a dog without a bone

An actor out on loan.

Riders on the storm.

Riders on the storm.

Riders on the storm.

Riders on the storm.

Riders on the storm.

Got your freedom now boy

Who do you serve

Took for granted what you, should have preserved

No time left, no time left, to make amends

Keep burning bridges while you're buying your new friends

A day of reflection hits, you're a shell, skin and bones, counting costs

Is it worth your soul

A day of reflection hits

It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes

The pain fade away

So important then, doesn't matter now

Both feet on the ground

Come full circle, yeah, come full circle

No access granted now boy, you've been denied

Jump a fence to see what's on the other side

Are you wanted, are you wanted

The question is, could second chances mean another impression

A day of reflection hits, your you're a shell, skin and bones, counting costs

Is it worth your soul

A day of reflection hits

It's funny how times can change, rearrange, and distance makes

The pain fade away

So important then, doesn't matter now

Both feet on the ground

Come full circle, we've come full circle

I got one foot stuck in heaven, yeah

One boot stuck in hell

I looked at God, he winked at me

I made this mess myself

Don't be surprised and don't deny

Hear every word I say

Close the door and don't look back or you will fade away

It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes

The pain fade away

It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes

The pain fade away

So important then, doesn't matter now

Both feet on the ground

Come full circle, full circle, come full circle

We have come, full circle

Lines form on my face and hands

Lines form from the ups and downs

I'm in the middle without any plan

I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm eighteen and I don't know what I want

Eighteen, I just don't know what I want

Eighteen, I gotta get away

I've gotta get out of this place

I'll go running in outer space, oh yeah

I've got a baby's brain and an old man's heart

Took eighteen years to get this far

Don't always know what I'm talking about

Feels like I'm living in the middle of doubt

Cause I'm eighteen, I get confused everyday

Eighteen, I just don't know what to say

Eighteen, I gotta get away

Oh, lines form on my face and my hands

Lines form on the left and right

I'm in the middle, the middle of life

I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm eighteen and I like it

Yes, I like it

Well, I like it, love it

Like it, love it

Eighteen, eighteen!

Eighteen

I'm eighteen and I like it

Two steps closer

A thousand steps away

Wait to the system

Until I know other way

My hands blistered

But now numb to the pain

My mind twisted

In this cruel democracy

But now I'm free

Now I'm free

Feels like a thousand years

Taken from me

Choose my priorities

But they're shoved

In my face

My destiny in life

So far away

So far away

But now I'm free

Now I'm free

Oh, I guess it was a good ride

But looking back I feel the same

I guess it was a last time, no regrets

Who's to blame?

Show me how to live my life now

Very different from my own

A simple explanation

Further from the torn hole

I'm leaving now

I said I'm leaving now

I said I'm leaving now

And I got no place to go

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

I said I'm leaving now

I said I'm leaving now

I said I'm leaving now

And I got no place to go

But now I'm free

Now I'm free

Now I'm free, yeah

Now I'm free, yeah

The rage in my eyes

Could have compared to the eye of the sun

Then rain

Took its course through the hands of the son

Revenge for all time

The world is at war leaving all hope (fault?) behind

So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my friend?

The stains in the sky

Are there to remind us of man and his fight(?)

When two worlds collide

One steals a life like a thief in the night

So look to the sky

He holds the keys for your life

And mine

So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my friend?

Well, as the wind rides (Well as though we rise?)

As the day breaks the dawn

And as the moon hides the sun

Oh the sun

No more sorrow

All those crying days are gone

No more sorrow now its gone

Now it's gone

Now it's gone

So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my
