[Greywind]

She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night
She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight
I could feel her coming from a mile away
There was no use talking, there was nothing to say
When the band began to play and play

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced and danced

I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall
She could dance all night and shake the paint off the wall
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room
Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon
As the band began to play out of tune

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced and danced

The endless beat, she's walkin' my way
Hear the music fade when she says
Are we getting too close, do we dare to get closer
The room is spinning, she whispers my name

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced and danced
and danced and danced and danced
and danced and danced and danced

And we danced
And we danced
And we danced

And we danced and danced and danced
and danced and danced and danced
and danced and danced and danced

[Burrito Boy]

Mama told me when I was young

"Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say

And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"

 

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast

Troubles will come and they will pass

You'll find a woman and you'll find love

And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

 

"And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

 

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold

All that you need is in your soul

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

 

"And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

 

Oh yes, I will

 

"Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself

Follow your heart and nothing else

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

 

"And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

 

Baby, be a simple, really simple man

Oh, be something you love and understand

[Greywind]

Ooh...
Ooh...
How - how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played much too often
But making mistakes is a part
Of life's imperfections born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all

Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
That there is something about you
Baby so right
I wouldn't be without you baby tonight

If ever our love was concealed
No one can say that we didn't feel
A million things
And a perfect dream of life
Gone, fragile but free
We remain tender together
If not so in love
It's not so wrong
We're only human after all

These changing years
They add to your confusion
Oh and you need to hear the time
That told the truth
That there is something about you
Baby so right
Don't want to be without you
Baby tonight
Because there's something about you
Baby so right
I couldn't live without you
Baby tonight

Ooh...
Ooh...
And there's something about you
I couldn't live without you
Tonight

[death tribble]

Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin' guitar
Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again ?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again ?

He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band
He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again ?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again ?

Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock
Time didn't matter never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll
Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again ?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again ?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again ?
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again ?

 

[death tribble]

Where it began,

I can't begin to knowin'

But then I know it's growing strong

 

Was in the spring

And spring became the summer

Who'd have believed you'd come along.

 

Hands, touchin' hands

Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you

 

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I've been inclined

To believe they never would

But now I...

 

...look at the night

And it don't seem so lonely

We fill it up with only two.

 

And when I hurt,

Hurtin' runs off my shoulders

How can I hurt when holding you?

 

Warm, touchin' warm

Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you

 

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I've been inclined,

To believe they never would

Oh, no, no

 

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

Sweet Caroline,

I believe they never could

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

Sweet Caroline...

[tkdguy]

There, out in the darkness

A fugitive running

Fallen from God

Fallen from grace

God be my witness

I never shall yield

Till we come face to face

Till we come face to face

 

He knows his way in the dark

Mine is the way of the Lord

Those who follow the path of the righteous

Shall have their reward

And if they fall

As Lucifer fell

The flames

The sword!

 

Stars

In your multitudes

Scarce to be counted

Filling the darkness

With order and light

You are the sentinels

Silent and sure

Keeping watch in the night

Keeping watch in the night

 

You know your place in the sky

You hold your course and your aim

And each in your season

Returns and returns

And is always the same

And if you fall as Lucifer fell

You fall in flame!

 

And so it must be, and so it is written

On the doorway to paradise

That those who falter and those who fall

Must pay the price!

 

Lord let me find him

That I may see him

Safe behind bars

I will never rest

Till then

This I swear

This I swear by the stars!

[tkdguy]

I'm comin' home, I've done my time

Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine

If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free

Then you'll know just what to do

If you still want me

If you still want me

 

CHORUS:

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

It's been three long years

Do ya still want me? (still want me)

If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

I'll stay on the bus

Forget about us

Put the blame on me

If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

 

Bus driver, please look for me

'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see

I'm really still in prison

And my love, she holds the key

A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free

I wrote and told her please

 

CHORUS

 

(Instrumental Break)

 

Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'

And I can't believe I see

A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree

 

I'm comin' home, mmm, mmm

 

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

 

FADE

 

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

[Pariah]

Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight

The withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

 

Memory, all alone in the moonlight

I can dream of the old days

Life was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

 

Every street lamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters

And soon it will be morning

 

Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life 

And I mustn't give in

When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory, too

And a new day will begin

 

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale court smell of morning

A street lamp dies

Another night is over

Another day is dawning

 

Touch me

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you'll touch me

You'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun

[Pariah]

Look at me coyote

Don't let a little road dust put you off

You can't judge a book

Well you know that stuff

There's a tear in my upholstery

And a hole in my shoe

But don't you just wish that you could

Make half of the speed I do

Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

 

You can't catch me coyote

Though there may be blood on the tracks

There may be some bridges burning

Behind our backs

But I got my laundry on the backseat

And an itinerary too

And don't you just wish that you could

Make half of the speed I do

Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

 

Now I'm a speck on your horizon

Getting smaller fast

An ambush wouldn't be surprising

I hope it's better than your last

 

Once again the roadrunner

Leaves the coyote in the dirt

You've got another plan of action

But we all know it ain't never gonna work

It must be hard having dog dreams

That never come true

And don't you just wish that you could

Make half of the speed I do

Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

[Greywind]

[ARBITER]
I've a duty as the referee
At the start of the match
On behalf of all our sponsors
I must welcome you
Which I do -- there's a catch

I don't care if you're a champion
No one messes with me
I am ruthless in upholding
What I know is right
Black or white -- as you'll see

I'm on the case
Can't be fooled
Any objection
Is overruled
Yes I'm the Arbiter and I know best

[CHORUS]
He's impartial, don't push him, he's unimpressed

[ARBITER]
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit I don't see through
Oh I'm the Arbiter I know the score

[CHORUS]
From square one he'll be watching all 64

[ARBITER]
If you're thinking of the kind of thing
That we've seen in the past
Chanting gurus, walkie-talkies,
Walkouts, hypnotists,
Tempers, fists -- not so fast

This is not the start of World War Three
No political ploys
I think both your constitutions are terrific so
Now you know -- be good boys

I'm on the case
Can't be fooled
Any objection
Is overruled
Yes I'm the Arbiter and I know best

[CHORUS]
He's impartial, don't push him, he's unimpressed

[ARBITER]
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit I don't see through
Oh I'm the Arbiter I know the score

[CHORUS]
From square one he'll be watching all 64

[ARBITER]
Yes I'm the Arbiter I know the score

[CHORUS]
From square one he's watching all 64

[Greywind]

I close my eyes 'n' my memory flies me where soft trade winds blow
I'm in the sun hearin' laughter and fun when she whispers 'Hello'
Her touch is still tender just like I remember when my feelings begin to show
Suddenly I wake up from the dream I make up of

The girl I'll never know
In a place I'll never go
Angels never fly this low
She's the girl I'll never know

God knows I've tried but I'm always denied any love on my mind
And so I chase to my fantasy place like a fool runnin' blind
Then she comes to me, her love rushes through me just as she falls in my arms
Suddenly I wake up from the dream I make up of

The girl I'll never know
In a place I'll never go
Angels never fly this low
She's the girl I'll never know

Angels don't fly this low
She's the girl I'll never know

Angels don't fly this low
She's the girl I'll never know

[Burrito Boy]

Every year is the same

And I feel it again

I'm a loser, no chance to win

Leaves start fallin'

Come down is callin'

Loneliness starts sinking in

 

But I'm one

I am one

And I can see

That this is me

And I will be

You'll all see

I'm the one

 

Where do you get

Those blue, blue jeans

Faded, patched secret so tight?

Where do you get

That walk oh so lean?

Your shoes and your shirt's all just right

 

I'm one

I am one

And I can see

That this is me

And I will be

You'll all see

I'm the one

 

I got a Gibson

Without a case

But I can't get that even tanned look on my face

Ill fitting clothes

And I blend in the crowd

Fingers so clumsy

Voice too loud

 

But I'm one

I am one

And I can see

That this is me

And I will be

You'll all see

I'm the one

 

I'm the one

 

I'm the one

[Greywind]

I close my eyes, only for a moment
And the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song, just a drop of water
In an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground
Though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Oh, ho, ho

Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind [x2]

Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind [x2]
The wind

[Greywind]

I don't know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again, here I go again

Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

Just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again, here I go again,
Here I go again, here I go

'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone

[Greywind]

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of, does he look like me?
Do you tell lies and say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see?
Ooh babe ooh yeah

When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show?
Ooh c'mon

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!

Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love lives, love dies
It's no surprise
Love begs, love pleads
It's what I need

When I'm with you are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy

[Repeat Chorus]

[guitar solo]

Ooh yeah

[Repeat Bridge]

Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love lives, love dies

[Repeat Chorus]

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
Yes it does
It will be hell

[Pariah]

So this is love, or so you tell me

As you're walkin', out the door

The months go by, and I know for certain

It's not the love, I'm lookin' for

 

Some times, just for a moment,

I reach out, hope you're still there

 

Miles away,

No, you're never turnin' back,

I just can't wait anymore

Miles away,

Nothin' left of what we had,

Just when I needed you most

You were miles away

 

It's hard to tell, what you're goin' through

You kept your feelings locked inside of you

Open your heart, and chances are

What you're feelin', I'm feelin' too

 

If only, just for a moment

Hold on, to the dreams that we had

 

Miles away,

No, you're never turnin' back,

I just can't wait anymore

 

Miles away,

Nothin' left of what we had,

Just when I needed you most

You were miles away

 

When times were tough, and you were down and out

Who was there by your side?

Now you've gone, I'm so tired of bein' alone

With only your promises

 

The lonliness just fades away,

Thoughts of you, just memories

No cryin' now, for what we're missin'

Time won't forget what you meant to me

 

If you hold me, just for a moment

Hold on, to the dreams that we had

 

Miles away,

No, you're never turnin' back,

I just can't wait anymore

 

Miles away,

Nothin' left of what we had,

Just when I needed you the most, whoa-oh

 

Miles away,

No, you're never turnin' back,

I just can't wait anymore

 

Miles away,

Nothin' left of what we had,

Just when I needed you most

You were miles away

[Greywind]

Is it that we've been together much too long?
The answer may not be in black and white
We're always trying to prove who's right or wrong
Yet now we're giving up without a fight
But I know when you're gone, I'll wish I held on

So, baby, surrender to me
There'll be no holding back now
So, baby, surrender to me tonight

I don't want our love to cause you so much pain
If this is how it's going to be, I'll walk away
Oh, neither one of us should ever say goodbye
Let's forget about the past and who's to blame
'Cause when this is all gone, we'll wish we'd held on

So, baby, surrender to me
There'll be no holding back now
So, baby, surrender to me tonight

How could this love be in danger
That used to be so good, so right?
To think that fate could make us strangers
Has thrown me in your arms tonight

So, baby, surrender to me
There'll be no holding back now
So, baby, surrender to me tonight
So, baby, surrender

[Greywind]

Sometimes you twist
Always insist that
You know a way

Should I let go now
Would I even know
How to anyway

And all that matters
Is turned around
Over and over again
We're at full circle
It comes down to now again

Stay the night
Let a little love show
Stay the night
It's all right, yeah
Stay the night
Don't say you don't know
Stay the night

Trying so hard
To hold onto you
Can you show me how

If I seem cautious
Maybe I'm lost
Can you show me now

And all that matters
Is turned around
Over and over again
We're at full circle
It comes down to now again

Stay the night
Let a little love show
Stay the night
It's all right

Stay the night
You lead, I'll follow
Stay the night
Stay tonight

In all the making
Yours for the taking
Shaking me down
You see what we've got
You know what's it's not
That turns you upside down

And all that matters
Is turned around
Over and over again
We're at full circle
It comes down to now again

Stay the night
Let a little love show
Stay the night
Don't say you don't know
Stay the night
You lead, I'll follow
Stay the night

Stay the night
Come on, stay the night
Stay the night, yeah

Stay the night
Let a little love show
Stay the night
Stay the night
Stay the night
Don't say you don't know
Stay the night, it's all right
Just stay the night

Stay the night
Let a little love show
Stay the night
Stay tonight
Stay the night...

[death tribble]

Happiness hit her like a train on a track

Coming towards her stuck still no turning back

 

She hid it 'round corners and she hid it under beds

She killed it with kisses and from it she fled

With every bubble she sank with her drink

And washed it away down the kitchen sink

 

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

The horses are coming

So you better run

 

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father

Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your longing behind

You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

 

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses ?

'Cause here they come

 

And I never wanted anything from you

Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

 

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses ?

'Cause here they come

 

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father

Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your longing behind

You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

 

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses ?

'Cause here they come

 

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

The horses are coming

So you better run

 

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

The horses are coming

So you better run

[death tribble]

Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head,

Dredging the Great White Sharks, swimming in the bed,

And here comes a Killer Whale, to sing me to sleep,

Thrashing the covers off, it has me by its teeth.

 

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said ?

I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did ?

Did I drink too much ?

Am I losing touch ?

Did I build this ship to wreck ?

 

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,

Did I build this ship to wreck ?

 

What's with the long face? Do you want more ?

Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door,

Don't let the curtain catch you, cause you've been here before,

The chair is an island darling, you can't touch the floor,

 

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said ?

I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did ?

Did I drink too much ?

Am I losing touch ?

Did I build this ship to wreck ?

 

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,

Did I build this ship to wreck ?

 

Ooh-ooh ohh, ooh-ooh ohh, ooh-ooh ohh

Ooh-ooh ohh, ooh-ooh ohh, ooh-ooh ohh

 

Good God, under starless skies we are lost,

And into the breach we got tossed,

And the water's coming in fast !

 

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said ?

I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did ?

Did I drink too much ?

Am I losing touch ?

Did I build this ship to wreck ?

 

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,

Did I build this ship to wreck ?

 

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck,

Did I build this ship to wreck ?

Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

 

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself

I like to keep my issues drawn

It's always darkest before the dawn

 

And I've been a fool and I've been blind

I can never leave the past behind

I can see no way, I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around

 

All of his questions, such a mournful sound

Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

So I like to keep my issues drawn

But it's always darkest before the dawn

 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh whoa

 

And I am done with my graceless heart

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn

It's always darkest before the dawn

 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh whoa

 

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

And given half the chance would I take any of it back

It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone

It's always darkest before the dawn

 

Oh whoa, oh whoa...

 

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't

So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road

And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope

It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat

'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me

Looking for heaven, found the devil in me

Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah

 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh whoa

 

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh whoa

When we first came here

We were cold and we were clear

With no colors in our skin

We were light and paper thin

 

And when we first came here

we were cold and we were clear

With no colors in our skin

'Til we let the spectrum in

 

Say my name

And every color illuminates

We are shining

And we will never be afraid again

 

Say my name

As every color illuminates

We are shining

And we will never be afraid again

 

Say my name

As every color illuminates

We are shining

And we will never be afraid again

 

And when we come for you

We'll be dressed up all in blue

With the ocean in our arms

Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms

 

And when it's time to pray

We'll be dressed up all in grey

With metal on our tongues

And silver in our lungs

 

Say my name

And every color illuminates

We are shining

And we will never be afraid again

 

Say my name

As every color illuminates

We are shining

And we will never be afraid again

 

Say my name

As every color illuminates

We are shining

And we will never be afraid again

 

And when we come back we'll be dressed in black

And you'll scream my name aloud

And we won't eat and we won't sleep

We'll drag bodies from a ground

 

So say my name

And every color illuminates

And we are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

 

Say my name

As every color illuminates

 

Say my name

As every color illuminates

We are shining

And we will never be afraid again

 

Say my name

As every color illuminates

We are shining

And we will never be afraid again

 

Say my name

We are shining

Say my name

Say my name

And we will never be afraid again

You are the hole in my head

You are the space in my bed

You are the silence in between

What I thought and what I said

 

You are the night time fear

You are the morning when it's clear

When it's over you're the start

You're my head, you're my heart

 

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes

I never knew daylight could be so violent

A revelation in the light of day

You can't choose what stays and what fades away

 

And I'd do anything to make you stay

No light, no light

No light

Tell me what you want me to say

 

Through the crowd, I was crying out

And in your place there were a thousand other faces

I was disappearing in plain sight

Heaven help me, I need to make it right

 

You want a revelation,

You wanna get it right

But it's a conversation,

I just can't have tonight

You want a revelation

Some kind of resolution

You want a revelation

 

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes

I never knew daylight could be so violent

A revelation in the light of day,

You can't choose what stays and what fades away

 

And I'd do anything to make you stay

No light, no light

No light

Tell me what you want me to say

 

Would you leave me,

If I told you what I've done?

And would you need me,

If I told you what I've become?

'Cause it's so easy,

To say it to a crowd

But it's so hard, my love,

To say it to you out loud

 

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes

I never knew daylight could be so violent

A revelation in the light of day,

You can't choose what stays and what fades away

 

And I'd do anything to make you stay

No light, no light

No light

Tell me what you want me to say

 

You want a revelation,

You wanna get it right

But it's a conversation,

I just can't have tonight

You want a revelation

Some kind of resolution

You want a revelation

 

You want a revelation,

You wanna get it right

But it's a conversation,

I just can't have tonight

You want a revelation, some kind of resolution

Tell me what you want me to say.

The looking glass, so shiny and new

How quickly the glamour fades

I start spinning, slipping out of time

Was that the wrong pill to take? (Raise it up)

 

You made a deal, and now it seems you have to offer up

But will it ever be enough? (Raise it up, raise it up)

It's not enough (Raise it up, raise it up)

 

Here I am, a rabbit hearted girl

Frozen in the headlights

It seems I've made the final sacrifice

 

We raise it up, this offering

We raise it up

 

This is a gift, it comes with a price

Who is the lamb and who is the knife ?

Midas is king and he holds me so tight

And turns me to gold in the sunlight

 

I look around, but I can't find you (raise it up)

If only I could see your face (raise it up)

Instead of rushing towards the skyline (raise it up)

I wish that I could just be brave

 

I must become a lion hearted girl

Ready for a fight

Before I make the final sacrifice

 

We raise it up, this offering

We raise it up

 

This is a gift, it comes with a price

Who is the lamb and who is the knife ?

Midas is king and he holds me so tight

And turns me to gold in the sunlight

 

Raise it up, raise it up

Raise it up, raise it up

 

And in the spring I shed my skin

And it blows away with the changing wind

The waters turn from blue to red

As towards the sky I offer it

 

This is a gift, it comes with a price

Who is the lamb and who is the knife ?

Midas is king and he holds me so tight

And turns me to gold in the sunlight

 

This is a gift, it comes with a price

Who is the lamb and who is the knife ?

Midas is king and he holds me so tight

And turns me to gold in the sunlight

 

This is a gift, it comes with a price

Who is the lamb and who is the knife ?

Midas is king and he holds me so tight

And turns me to gold in the sunlight

 

This is a gift
