I'm rising sails to leave my father's land No longer waiting for the tide It took a while to try and understand How do I want to live my life: You live it or lie it - anyway you want. I cross the ocean to another side to see the world you've never seen I'm walking straight into the glowing light feeling as twice the man I've ever been You live it or lie it - no reason to deny it. Stop dreaming, start living... All you have to do is break your chains. Uncounted wonders no one's seen before... I've watched them rise and dissapear It could've been you - just open up the door And take that first step to overcome you fear.
Time is running out, you're left behind Can't you see you're not my kind? Kind...
Somebody's gain's built on somebody's loss Friendship of ours was a beautiful ghost Better run home - put a hell of a race Get yourself a pretty, brand new face
Not my kind You're not my kind
Tell me your dream and I'll tell you your soul Higher we climb? Even harder we fall (son of a bitch) Son of a bitch keeps on hangin' around Stay away or I'll rip your heart out
Hustling left and right So this is your kind?
Time is running out, just let it go (let it go) Search your heart and you will find (you will find it) Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow (left to grow) Can't you see you're not my kind?
Not my kind Ooh, not my kind
Year after year, all those battles we've fought Hard to believe, but you've got yourself caught Nowhere to hide, now you're under attack Nice lil' load and it broke your back
Scream into the night So this is your kind?
Time is running out, just let it go (let it go) Search your heart and you will find (you will find it) Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow (left to grow) Can't you see you're not my kind?
(Time is running out, just let it go Search your heart and you will find Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow Can't you see - you're not my kind?)
Time is running out, just let it go (let it go) Search your heart and you will find (you will find it) Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow (left to grow) Can't you see you're not my kind?
Time is running out, just let it go (let it go) Search your heart and you will find (you will find it) Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow (left to grow) Can't you see you're not my kind?

7 days build this "perfect" world, so beautifully unfolded... fat baby on your lap. 7 signs before you'd lose your cool, obnoxious, pompous fool? I'd say you're full of crap. So you're still selling that Paradise skam?.. While keeping a hell of a poker face. Well, nothing's really changing at all, so I'll be damned, boy: Thank you for those 7 priceless days.
Please, don't be a stranger, look inside my life. Full of it? As you are... with a touch of pride Cut me wide, wide open, rip me up inside... What's the matter? Busy? Blinded by the light?
Zooming in - the shores of Paradise... Those billboards're - full of lies - Unchaining gates of hell. Tears of joy on salesman's pretty face... He's screwing us with grace - I hope I'll live to hell Hell or heaven - the same merry-go-round. Pieces of one puzzle - cut'n'paste. Tell me, is this really the best way which you've found While sitting on that holy ground, wearing that shiny, golden crown For 7 unforgettable days? 7 deadly sins - those remarkable days...
Only dead have seen the end of war... Knowing that - I feel a bit better When I do remember what's happened before... oh well. Moving on to the heart of a matter
Father always told me 'bout men and mice, Bein' not afraid to take chances Well, he said enough 'coz by the time he got iced I was on my way - circumstances led me out into the open... Boy, reality bites.
Doesn't matter what you do - another crook gets rich Doesn't mean a thing what's your calling Living by your heart - and whining "life is such a bitch"? Anyway you go - you're falling to the bottom of the food chain. Let me show you the way...
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down I can change the whole world. Feeling stronger From the dead of night to the morning light Getting ready to challenge my faith When you're feeling weak and your life seems tough, You can't wait for a break any longer... Who can stone you cold, who can whip you down If you'll steal a lil'kiss from your faith
Do I live as I live or as I do? Don't you forget who told you: "When life has no value - death has it's price" ...Just something I saw in my father's eyes.
In our shop, as you can see You'd be a man you want to be Unhappy with the way it goes? Just buy another life
And our prices, who can beat? Here's royal flesh and cannot meat You name it, my associate Is sharpening her knife
Please take a peek inside Tell me how, how it feels like
When you're spilling paper blood in the blaze of glory Paper blood, on the holy ground Paper blood, never ending story Paper blood makes the world go round and round
We've got it covered to the tee Another wife? Just take a brief: Look at this fine selection of those Bitches from the East
We're selling friends, we're selling cars A recent show with superstars A child, a war, a heart, a soul It's all to make you pleased, right!
Nothing is too strange When we are in this price range
You're wasting paper blood in the blaze of glory Paper blood, on the holy ground Paper blood, never ending story Paper blood can buy a tiny crown For this sad and weary clown So he can smile and take a look around Across his kingdom, fake as it could be (And what's wrong with that?) Where tears of joy're impossible to see (What do we need them for?) Where heartfelt laughter's not what you will hear (And so what?) Enough of that, 'coz it's my biggest fear
Images of winter gently move Fallen, golden leaves. Sun is hiding far behind the roof, Knowing what it means Days are getting shorter, I can see Chilling tears of fall Running down for you and leaving me Out here in the cold Since you left whatever I would do - Nothing comes out right I'm fighting through another lonely day, Another sleepless night. Dreaming 'bout wings to fly away But as I was told Brokenhearted can't, the're cursed to stay Out here in the cold This change of a season is over and done Won't look for a reason... just sad that you're gone Every single word you've ever said Is ringing in my ears Making me remember what I had. This burning trail of tears Leading me away, into the night... Closer to my fall. Season's changing, turning off the light Out here in the cold Dissapearing very slow - this line of footsteps in the snow... Spirit of my better day's living on the edge Be it so and let it be... 'coz as far as I can see There's no way to escape this season's change.
