• Singing in the graveyard

  • Lyrics

    Singing in the graveyard

    Look here!
    The king of death
    He is waiting for the time
    When we all have finally destroyed ourselves

    When we finally put an end to our agony
    It's his joyful day
    And after all he is singing in the graveyard

    It's so funny how he can dance
    He had to wait such a long time
    "Now it's all mine!"

• Indifference

  • Lyrics

    Indifference

    They call me indifferent
    It's an easy way to live
    Don't have to think about
    All the stuff I need to give

    Come with me
    Sing with me
    My final songs
    No, I need no sympathy
    I am far, too far from here

    Show me where I stand
    I'm not here and I'm not there
    Senseless to think about
    cause I'm useless everywhere

    I don't call down curses on somebody's head
    I don't forgive them
    Cause I don't care
    I just stare
    Now look at me
    What can you see

• In the end

  • Lyrics

    In the end

    I wait all day
    For night to come
    I want to reach out
    To find new dreams

    In the end I hear your laughter
    It is all I do

• Sorrow

  • Lyrics

    Sorrow

    You with your sad eyes
    Show me a smile and find love
    Don't say you're sorry
    Just leave your sorrow far behind
    At least one time
    Away from harm
    Show your smile
    Then it's time to live

    You with your sad eyes
    Don't say you're sorry
    Throw away your sorrow
    Sorrow is not your doom
    Show your smile
    Then it's time to live

• Today

  • Lyrics

    Today

    Look my friends
    It's not too late
    To see new worlds
    Don't slave your mind
    Be your own god
    Just for today
    Life doesn't comfort you
    Don't be so shy
    Why follow a call
    That doesn't belong to you?
    Why follow a time
    That doesn't belong to you?
    Wasted time
    You will be missed
    I know it
    Already

• Not like anybody else

  • Lyrics

    Not like anybody else

    Why do you want me to be like anybody else
    Why can't you see through my eyes
    My heart is still the same
    I'm still breathing
    But it's bleeding

    Come I'll embrace you
    Dance with me through the night
    Underneath the stars
    Look, I'm happy
    I want you to be happy, too
    Laugh with me

    Do not deny the change like anybody else
    Change means not just to grow
    It's bliss, my dear!
    I'm not lying
    I'm even flying

• My funeral

  • Lyrics

    My funeral

    It's nice of you to come to my funeral
    A shame that I had to die to reach you

    Don't be sad
    I'm sure you will forget
    My spirit stays here
    You're not alone
    I promised you

    I just met my old friend
    He left just before
    You look so good
    I wish I could embrace you

    Thank you for the roses
    Leave them right here
    I wish you'd brought them much sooner
    But I don't care

    It's nice of you to come to my funeral

• Home now

  • Lyrics

    Home now

    That's my will
    You can have it all
    Cause you're the one I loved
    Until I heard them call
    I can still feel you even so far away
    After I'm gone

    I'd like to stay
    But I couldn't stay longer
    I heard them call
    I tried so hard to hide
    I'll become the sky
    As clear as day
    After I'm gone

    Home now
    All begins

• Never the same

  • Lyrics

    Never the same

    When it first began
    I saw you everywhere

    It is quiet now
    There is nothing left
    The wind has gone to sleep
    I'm dying to be free

    Beautiful you were
    Like a piece of sky

    Never the same
    Keep moving on

• The broken man

  • Lyrics

    The broken man

    What d'you do?
    You make me weak and low
    Far from here
    I'll count the broken words
    Walk away
    My choice to disappear
    Time to leave
    I'll never fear again
    It gets darker
    As I walk away
    I'll go deeper
    I'm slowing down
    Try to make it work
    Hope I'll find a smile
    I'm the broken man

• The face

  • Lyrics

    The face

    There's a sign
    I try to resist
    Shadow moves
    I can't fix the figure
    Just one thing
    That looks hazy to me
    Your face
    So beautiful
    It's your face
    Still beautiful

• Light my candle

  • Lyrics

    Light my candle

    When I found you
    You were already dead
    What a gloomy scene
    Cause your eyes still glow
    And they speak to me

    Don't leave me alone
    In my darkest dreams comes a saviour
    Where is he now?

    I'm digging my own grave
    Underneath the moon
    What a gloomy scene
    What a deathly hush

    Light my candle

    So we're closer now
    It's so peaceful

• Nothing wrong

  • Lyrics

    Nothing wrong

    When we meet this time
    Things will be just fine
    Or maybe divine
    Cause we're older now
    Realized somehow
    That we left our fear
    So we both belong
    To a different song
    This time there's nothing wrong
    When we meet this time
    Things will be just fine
    Or even divine
    Nothing wrong
