Poets of the Fall - The Ultimate Fling ( ''Revolution Roulette'' 2008 ).

, 04 2020 . 23:42 +
.

Today, its in the air again today, another incident that just went off
, ,

No way, this time I will not take blame, its pretty obvious who needs to shut up
, , ,

Ashtrays filled with the fruits of our transgressions, here and there sarcasm overflows
, , ,

Do stay, Ill need this sitcom to be re-run till I get the gist of just how it goes
, , ,

What would you have me do
?

Gimme a reason, cmon now make my day
, ,

Cos Im out of cheeks to turn the other way


Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel
,

Somehow Ive been blindsided by my own kindhearted notion of just who we are
, ,

No doubt wed have collided anyway with me indicted and you raising alarm
, , , ,

First round Ill take my bows into my corner take my vows, regroup and run back again
, , ,

Bloodhound and of no better pedigree than what you see so you could not offend
, , ,

Did I act like a fool cos I didnt know what to do
, , ,

When you gave me just a little bit more than I bargained for
,

A little too much in my hands when my hands are tied
,

Its the ultimate fling to go frolicking
,

Licking the muck from the soles of the boots of your pride


Everytime you lied
,

Gimme a reason, cmon now make my day
, , ( , )

Spoken my pleas now someones gotta pay
- ,

Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel
,

Can you gimme a reason, movin into grey
,

Something I can hold on to at the end of the day
,

Cos I cant move on till I know whats the deal

Poets of the Fall - Diamonds for Tears ( " Revolution Roulette '' 2008 ).

, 01 2020 . 01:07 +
.

In these days of manmade wonders we still bicker over flies


When you come seeking for forgiveness, Ill be forced to choose my side
,

If I deny you what youre searching, do I do it out of fear
, ,

Am I ruling out my reason, killing that which I hold dear
, ,

Out of my way Im running, with an excuse just underway
, ,

Realitys so daunting, and Ive got no way to explain
,

Cos when youre sleeping right next to me, I know youre the one
, , ,

So when I hear you calling my name, why do I turn away and run
, , ?

I guess thats why its raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
, ,

Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears


In the light of recent findings, theres no greater taint than grace
, ,

But to relinquish all our bindings, always finds us out of place
,

If I rested here a while more, would you hold me to your heart
, ?

If I knew what its meant for, would I know to play my part
, ?

Out of my way Im leaving, another excuse before Ill stay
, ,

Realitys applauding, I know I dont know the right way
, .

Cos when youre sleeping right next to me, I know youre the one
, , ,

So when I hear you calling my name, yeah, I know youre the one
, , , , ,

I guess thats why its raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
, ,

Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears


Is it a lost cause


Can we overlook this taint
, ?

Are these the dead laws
?

Like a doubt eating the saint
,

And though I fear these shackles, like my darkness closing in
,

I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands
,

Cos when youre sleeping right next to me, I know youre the one
, , ,

So when I hear you calling my name, I know the good Ive done
, , , ,

I guess thats why its raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
, ,

Crying heaven shed your diamonds


Cos when youre sleeping right next to me, I know youre the one
, , ,

So when I hear you calling my name, I know the good Ive done
, , , ,

I guess thats why its raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
, ,

Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears

Poets of the Fall - Roses ( ''Carnival of Rust'' 2006 ).

, 30 2020 . 01:23 +
.

Ive walked the distance, I paid my dues
,

And tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real
, ,

Held no appeal


Ive been to places, Ive seen the tidings
,

I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal
,

And so I came to gaze upon the stars


When they were yet unborn


And consequently, tear at my old scars
,

And the mask I had outworn
,

So when Im crying alone


Yeah, when Im cold as a dying stone
, ,

Grow me a garden of roses


Paint me the colors of sky and rain

( )

Teach me to speak with their voices


Show me the way and Ill try again


Ive heard the rumors, started fires


I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need
,

Behold the demons that I freed
,

Ive tried my best at wearing the hard hat
""

But healing doesnt seem to happen
,,

When you hide away the seed


And so I came across the medicine man


And he showed me what Id forlorn
,

For if Im stayed it happens by my own hand
, ,

And my own voice full of scorn


So when Im crying alone


Yeah, when Im cold as a dying stone
, ,

Grow me a garden of roses


Paint me the colors of sky and rain


Teach me to speak with their voices


Show me the way and Ill try again


Without you Im nothing at all
( )

And life has the face of a morbid game


With you nothing seems impossible


It all seems to fit the frame


So when Im crying alone


Yeah, when Im cold as a dying stone
, ,

Grow me a garden of roses


Paint me the colors of sky and rain


Teach me to speak with their voices


Show me the way and Ill try again

Poets of the Fall - Late Goodbye ( ''Signs of life'' 2005 ).

, 28 2020 . 23:12 +
.

In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deers eyes


On the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies
,

Lonely street signs, power lines, they keep on flashing, flashing by
, , ,


And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
,

And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye


Your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line
,

You made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
, , ,

Screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by
-, , ,


And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
,

And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye



The devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand hes dealt us
,

Points at your flaming hair, and then were playing hide and seek
,

I cant breathe easy here, less our trails gone cold behind us
,

Till in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
, ,

And we keep driving into the night


Its a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
, ...

Based on a poem by Sam Lake

POTF - Given and Denied ( '' Twilight Theater '' 2010 ).

, 05 2020 . 18:43 +
.

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
,

Which way to the years Ive let go by
,

Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
,

For yesteryear


Oh to see the suns eclipse
,

on the horizon like ships
,

sailing way away from here


Oh just one more time my dear
,

Before Ill go hear me out
, ,

Cos of this there aint no doubt


When its time for curtain call


Just before the shadows
...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
, ,

Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
,

With symphonies playing in the world without sound
,

Were given and denied


Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
,

Like I never outgrew my old playground


Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies round vacant swings
, ,

Give me those wings


Let me fly once again


Like I did way back when
-

I would gamble and win


To lift me high above the din


Of the future we see
,

Does it hold something for me


Im weightless again


Just before the shadows
..

Fall like a leaf in the wind
, ...

Before Ill go hear me out
, ,

Cos of this there aint no doubt


When its time for curtain call


Just before the shadows
...

Fall like a leaf in the wind
, ...

POTF - Sleep ( "Signs of Life" 2005 )

, 04 2018 . 03:40 +
.

Hear your heartbeat


Beat a frantic pace


And its not even seven AM
7 .

Youre feeling the rush


Of anguish settling


You cannot help showing them in


Hurry up then


Or youll fall behind and


They will take control of you


And you need to heal
.

The hurt behind your eyes


Fickle words crowding your mind
.

So


Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
, , ,

Like waves of sweet fire, youre safe within
, .

Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
, ,

And carry you over to a new morning
, .

Try as you might
,

You try to give it up
,

Seems to be holding on fast
.

Its hand in your hand


A shadow over your


A beggar for soul in your face
,

Still it dont matter
.

If you wont listen


If you wont let it follow you


You just need to heal


Make good all your lies
,

Move on and dont look behind
.

So


Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
, , , ...

Day after day


Fickle visions


Messing with your head


Fickle, vicious
,

Sleeping in your bed


Messing with your head


Fickle visions


Fickle, vicious
,

Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
, , , ...

Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
, , , ...

POTF - Carnival of Rust ( "Carnival of rust" 2006 )

, 28 2018 . 02:58 +
.

D you breath the name of your saviour in your hour of need
?

N taste the blame if the flavor should remind you of greed,
, , ,

Of implication, insinuation and ill will, till you cannot lie still
, ,

In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil come closing in for a kill
, .

Come feed the rain


Cos Im thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
,

Yeah feed the rain
,

Cos without your love my life aint nothing but this carnival of rust
, , .

Its all a game, avoiding failure, when true colors will bleed
, , .

All in the name of misbehavior and the things we dont need
, .

I lust for after no disaster can touch us anymore
,

And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before
- , , , , .

Come feed the rain
...

Dont walk away, dont walk away, oh, when the world is burning
, , .

Dont walk away, dont walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

POTF - No end , No beginning ( "ALCHEMY VOL. 1" 2011 )

, 16 2018 . 03:30 +
, .

We cant seem to let go
,

The threads so thin it just doesnt show anymore
, .

It seems like were playing charades
,

Playing like were afraid to live
, .

And this is one sacrifice I dont want to make
, .

If theres no end


There can be no beginning, there can be no beginning
,

If theres no end


It feels like forsaking the dawn, we awaken and still we dont see
, .

I am still secretly grateful youre living this moment with me
- , .

We can see where it leads
,

Its like you cant, cant kill the monster that feeds on you
,

No matter what you do it seems to get you every time
, , -

And thats a predicament if I know anything
, - .

If theres no end


There can be no beginning, there can be no beginning
,

If theres no end
.

It feels like forsaking the dawn, we awaken and still we dont see
, .

Im still secretly grateful youre living this moment with me
- , .

Secretly grateful youre sharing this moment with me
, .

If its just one life were given, one time youre living
, , .

I feel your touch light up a wild desire
, ,

Borne on my ache to take us ever higher
.

In our love we are birds of prey
,

Every cry serves to lead astray
.

So carry my ache and you will know the feeling
.

Inside I am weak but for this love Im bearing
, .

So breathe your life in my shades of grey
,

Or kill the lights and well fade away
.

POTF - Can you hear me ( "Alchemy vol.1" 2011).

, 05 2018 . 03:23 +
.

Hiding deep within, doors cry opening
,

Lead into the light of love deep like the sea
, ,

Rich in variety, heartfelt and open, wide like a life, unique, yet so alike
, , , , .

Can you hear me, I know Im just a whisper
, ,

Can you hear me, brother mine, sweet sister
, ,

Love will find an answer
.

You flow inside of me, language and imagery, pure in simplicity
, ,

Thirsting for unity, realised harmony,
, ,

No need to hide away your life, unique, yet so alike
, , .

Can you hear me
...

Theres yet life in these words I speak for peace of mind and our release,
,

And you can have what you want if you want it like you need to breathe,
, , ,

like you need to breathe, like you need to breathe
, , ,

Embrace reality
.

Can you hear me, I know Im just a whisper
, ,

Can you hear me, brother mine, sweet sister
, ,

Love will find an answer

POTF - Lift ( "Signs of Life" 2005 )

, 27 2018 . 02:53 +
.


Times when I just cant
,

Bring myself to say it loud
,

Fraid that what Ill say comes out somehow awry
, , , .

That is when it seems
,

We move in circles day to day
, .

Twist the drama of the play to get us by
,

And it feels like fear
,

Like Ill disappear
.

Gets so hard to steer
,

Yet I go on
.

Do we need debate
?

When it seems too late
,

Like I bleed but wait
,

Like nothings wrong
.

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
, ,

Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
, , .

You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly
, ,

Where all new wonders will appear
,

Like the other day
.

I thought you wont be coming back
,

I came to realize my lackluster dreams
,

And among the schemes


And all the tricks we try to play
,

Only dreams will hold their sway and defy
.

When it feels like fear
...

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
, , ...

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
, , ...

POTF - Locking up the Sun ( "Carnival of Rust" 2006 ).

, 21 2018 . 02:50 +
.

Theyre locking up the sun, the light of reason gone
,

N hope has been successfully undone
.

The questions burning on, where is it coming from
, .

No-one seems to know the monster born
,

Its a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible
, .

Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable
, - , ,

Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible
,

And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all
, , .

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day
- , - ,

Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time
, .

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away
- , - ,

Who doesnt turn a blind eye to a crime
.

Theyre locking up the sun, they have their chosen one
, .

You know this time theyll make him play along
, .

Theyre taking to the arms, the fathers and their sons
,

Theres nowhere left to run and hide
.

Its a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible
, .

Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable
- , , ,

Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible
,

And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all
, , .

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day
- , - ,

Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time
, .

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away
- , - ,

Who doesnt turn a blind eye to a crime
.

And in the emptiness, theres a solution
,

just look within yourself for absolution

Memories push through from yesterday

Where will I be tomorrow

From my life

What will be left to show

From my life

POTF - Dreaming Wide Awake ("Twilight Theater" 2010)

, 23 2017 . 03:05 +
.

Too late, the melody is over
,

The joke seems to be on me cos Im the one not laughing
, ,

Down here on the floor
˸ .

Deflate, the mystery of living
,

In the most heartless fashion I could ever Imagine
, ,

No pretense of decor
.

Another place and time, without a great divide
,

And we could be flying deadly high
.

Ill sell my soul to dream you wide awake
, ,

Another place and time, without a warning sign
,

And we could be dying angel style
, .

Ill sell my soul to dream you wide awake
, , .

Ill dream you wide awake
... .

With me, disaster finds a playfield


Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
- , ,

Cos I cant let you go
.

Mercy, like water in a desert
, ,

Shine through my memory like jewelry in the sun
, , .

Where are you now
?

Another place and time
...

Ill dream you wide awake
... .

Its like Im racing to the sun, blindly face the blazing gun
, .

Cos Im afraid I will be left here without you
.

Like Im racing not to run, give more when I have none
, , .

Cos Im afraid I will be left here without you wide awake
, ... .

Another place and time
...

Ill dream you wide awake
... .

POTF - War ( "Twilight Theater" 2010).

, 13 2017 . 04:12 +
.

Do you remember standing on a broken field
,

White crippled wings beating the sky


The harbingers of war with their nature revealed


And our chances flowing by
.

If I can let the memory heal


I will remember you with me on that field
.

When I thought that I fought this war alone
,

You were there by my side on the frontline
, , .

When I thought that I fought without a cause
,

You gave me a reason to try
.

Turn the page I need to see something new
, -

For now my innocence is torn
.

We cannot linger on this stunted view
, ,

Like rabid dogs of war
.

I will let the memory heal
.

I will remember you with me on that field
.

When I thought that I fought this war alone
,

You were there by my side on the frontline
, , .

And we fought to believe the impossible
,

When I thought that I fought this war alone
,

We were one with our destinies entwined
, .

When I thought that I fought without a cause
,

You gave me the reason why
- .

With no-one wearing their real face
,

Its a whiteout of emotion
.

And Ive only got my brittle bones to break the fall
, .

When the love in letters fade
,

Its like moving in slow motion


And were already too late if we arrive at all
, .

And then were caught up in the arms race


An involuntary addiction
.

And were shedding every value our mothers taught
,

So will you please show me your real face
, ,

Draw the line in the horizon
.

Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought
, , .

When I thought that I fought this war alone
, ...

POTF - Illusion And Dream (" Signs of Life" 2005)

, 31 2017 . 02:56 +
.

Look in my eyes I'll make you see
, ,

Were drifting aimlessly


Blind in a world of make believe
, .

Hear them sing their songs off key
,

N' nod like they agree
, .

Buying the needs to be discreet
.

I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
, .

What's going on fails to concern me, 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
, .

But you know what drives me out
, ,
Out of my mind oh


It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
, ,

And forget about the premonition, you need to conceive
, ,

The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
, -

In other words dishonesty
,

If I speak ill please, humor me
,,

Won't rant on endlessly


Just thought I'd try to make you see
,

It doesn't solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown
,

A stone will not need you to guess if
, ,

You're still going to drown
.

So you know what drives me out
, ,

Out of my mind, oh


It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
, ,

And forget about the premonition, you need to conceive
, ,

The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
, -

In other words dishonesty
, .

So can you name your demon?
?

Understand it's scheming
,

I raise my glass and say Here's to you
" ".

Can you chase your demon?
?

Or will it take your freedom?
?

I raise my glass and say Here's to you
" ".

I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
,

What's going on fails to concern me, 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
, ,

But you know what drives me out
,

Out of my mind oh


It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
, ,

And forget about the premonition, you need to conceive
,

The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
, -

In other words dishonesty
, .

So whatever makes you see makes you believe
, ,

And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
,

The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
, -

In other words dishonesty

With silence comes peace


With peace comes freedom
.

With freedom comes silence
