Wake Me
04:53
|
|||
|
Longing for love I try to give everyone
Damning a world full of pain, destruction and fear
Wake me and I ’ll wake again
The black sheep among the wolves
A flock crying out for a sheperd
Lead me beside still waters
The current is taking me
Someday we will find what we are aching for
Someday we will find what we were hoping for – or maybe won ’t
Everyone is getting things confused with love, but love is the only thing
Everyone is getting things confused with love, but love is the only thing in this world
Longing for love you refused to give
Lying about inevitable death, but precious life
Feeling lost, a flock helpless and blind
Someday we will find what we are aching for
Someday we will find what we were hoping for – or maybe we will not
And someday I will find what I am longing for
And someday I will find what I am searching for – or maybe I will not
Loving me hurts, but that ’s not true.
Loneliness hurts
Rejection hurts
Losing someone hurts
Love me
Someone
Everyone is getting things confused with love, but love is the only thing
Everyone is getting things confused with love, but love is the only thing in this world
Everyone is getting things confused with love, but love is the only thing
Everyone is getting things confused with love, but love is the only thing in this world

Pessimist

God – I gave you all my love, but I can ’t see past this hurt
Oh god – It is you, who made me be the pessimist that I am today
Because the promises I made to myself seem to be the hardest ones to keep
When did I dismiss the morals I subscribed to ?
When did I leave the path of righteousness ?
And I ’m not sure if there was one
And I’m not sure if there is one – or will ever be
Worthless
Useless
Ugly and Unloveable
A story told without a happy end
Never ending – no
Never again
A story told without a happy end
Never ending – no
And never again
I offer myself to everyone who seems to satisfy my soul
Just to wake up the other day without knowing – knowing who I am
And not knowing what I expected from that
But everyone is a whore, we just sell different parts of ourselves
I want to believe that every single time you saw me cry
Your heart broke
And after all that pain
Something beautiful would grow
I ’m tired of trying to be something that I can ’t be
And I ’m tired of fighting for something that I can ’t see
God I gave you all my love
What I am supposed to give you more ?
God I left you all my past
Why am I still missing the core ?
Give me something more than words
A buoy to carry me save to shore
If you can ’t then let me drown and die
Rather be dead than living sick of life – sick of life
Rather be dead than living sick of life

Throw Me To The Wolves
04:43
|

Crush me like an unforeseen kiss
Bursting my heart into tears
Forcing my soul to bow down
Infront of my dependence
Throw me to the wolves
And I ’ll come back leading the pack
Cut me into pieces
Spread my life into the wind
Throw me to the wolves
And I ’ll come back leading the pack
Tomorrow I ’ll rise again, stronger then I ’ve ever been
They say home is where your heart is
But where is my heart when nothing feels like home ?
Crush me like an unforeseen kiss
bursting my heart into tears
Forcing my soul to bow down
Infront of my dependence
I ’ll be able to love you deeper and despite of my fears
I ’ll be able to forgive you and to call you father again
You can ’t silence the love I ’ve found – the love that I found
Rise in me – Take your place I won ’t let you go again
Someday we will find what we are looking for – or maybe we won ’t
Maybe we will find something much greater than that
Not a perfect life, but to be perfectly forgiven
Maybe we will find something much greater than that
Not a perfect life, but to be perfectly forgiven
Throw me to the wolves
And I ’ll come back leading the pack
Cut me into pieces
spread my life into the wind
Throw me to the wolves
And I ’ll come back leading the pack
Tomorrow I ’ll rise again, stronger then I ’ve ever been

Battlefield
04:35

Cry in the night
Lost the war – every single fight
Nothing left – worth fighting for
Leaving the field – tired of war
Again and again
Raise your banner
And keep fighting for
What you stand for
What you believe in
Raise your flag
Remember your beating core
As long as hope exist in this broken world
I ’m fighting back
No matter what
But my glory – wasn ’t a victory
On my knees again
Begging for forgiveness
I know you won ’t let me down
I ’ve done your will – I fought in your name
Again and again
Raise your banner
And keep fighting for
What you stand for
What you believe in
Raise your flag
Rember your beating core
As long as hope exist in this broken world
I wanted more than this world had to offer
Less pain – walking without shame
I life worth living
An aim worth reaching
Breathless – Bleeding
Breathless – Bleeding
Breathless – Bleeding
Breathless – Bleeding
Breathless – Bleeding
Terrified, terrified
Not even one light to brighten up the darkness
No friend to take away my bandage – Made of my own thoughts – of my own lies – I ’m terrified

The Dearest Idol
05:17
|
|||
|
The world may deny
Your choice to believe
The love of the one who rather choose to bleed
The world may deny
Your choice to believe
The love of the one who rather choose to bleed
Than loosing one of the flock
Crying out for a savior
Than loosing one of the flock
Crying out
Crying out for mercy
But This world is not listening to understand it will listen to reply
And you can kill yourself – but that doesn ’t mean you have to stop living
I had an old self that I killed
So start believing
If they can not see the wrongs in themselves, they will never see the right in you
So stop looking for happiness in the same place you found pain
What peacefull hours I once enjoyed
How sweet their memory still
But they left an aching void
The world can never fill
Where is the blessing I knew,
when I first saw the lord
Where is the soul refreshing view
Where is the soul refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word
The dearest idol I have known
Whatever that idol be
Help me to tear it from thy throne
and to worship only you
tear it from thy throne
Help me to tear me from my throne
Return, o holy Dove, return
Sweet messenger of rest
I hate the sins that made you mourn
And drove you from my chest
So shall my walk be close with you
Calm and serene my frame
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the lamb
