serenade the fallen
04:53
|

|
we’re working on our way up
there’s so much you know that still remains
the cut and the pain
we open up the gate on top
to the stage over the concrete hills
we have come a long way from sorrow
you start to feel my silent waves
you take my hand and hold it tight
and burn the doubts inside of me
and now as we unite above them
I feel I am where I should be
I am ready now to come along with you
and serenade the fallen
to serenade the fallen
as we let it go
serenade the fallen
and we let it go
we’re making our way down
and there’s nothing more left to be said
we’re tears in the rain
we serenade the fallen

rain city

lone boy in rain city
young women look pretty
a vesper song, the cloudy night
love’s written in blinking neon-lights
and on this street some people say
there’s an old bar with no way in
and the rain is coming down
passed the home of closed curtains
the doorman asks “am I a pretty man?”
and in the dark and dressed in silence
while the tenants take off their masks
it’s when they come undone
they swing from the wire and the rope
we swing from the wire and the rope

fountain of love
03:07
|

she looked dazzling when I first saw
her posing on the first floor
her skin was so white
her hand felt cold in mine
she turned and said to me
while I was following her outside
“parties are for fools who
do not know how to have a bad time”
on the ride back to her place
we didn’t say much but I guess
we did enough ‘cause I recall
the driver eyeing us through the mirror
she closed the door behind her
she wrapped her arms around me
and I could feel her breath when she spoke
she said one, here I come
said two, I’ll ride the monsoon
said three, and the chance to feed
my love - we’re one on one
it happened while I’d still got
half of my clothes on
from her peak there came warm rain
and in the shock of the unholy rite
she tells me there’s a lot more
I tell her “babe, this isn’t what I signed up for
I’m already baptised an orthodox”
she takes the rest of my clothes off
I guess she wouldn’t take no for an answer
by my lips she dragged me down the wet path
and once again I found myself inside the fountain of love
she said one, here I come
said two, I’ll ride the monsoon
said three, any chance to feed
my love tonight? - we’re one

she’s getting undressed
she’s tasting the liquor from his lips
and as the time stands still
he’s going under her skin
using the edge of the white dream
she was thirteen
when mommy first showed her teeth
she walked the nights with the devil
and she danced in the circle of the flaming sins
but now the pain is gone
soft clouds catch her fall
and she’s sinking in sweet rapture
now’s she numb
(she wants no pain tonight)
she cannot breath
(no more pain tonight)
there’s no more pain tonight

the flames are rising in neverland
all boys awake
if you think there’s sand in our hourglass
you’re fooling yourself
with no sextant we sail forevermore
and we don’t follow the signs
if you think there’s land where it never rains
you’re fooling yourself
and every night it comes true
our spirits gather under the moon
we give ourselves to the winds
but when we wake up in bed
and while the thrill still remains a memory
we can’t remember our sins
we’re gonna burn the nights
and as we sail on our way
don’t give us your hope
we don’t need your prayers
(we don’t care if you think that we’ve strayed)
and as we leave you today
we never wished for more
you don’t need to weep
(and we would do it all again)

the song
03:39
|
|||
|
in the house by the coast with your friends
a house where wind and cold are raging in
you fell and smashed your face on the floor
your sins won’t help you hide your shame away
you think of taking a walk out in the rain
and slowly now you’re putting on your coat
and you sing the song
and the ones who laughed the ones who cried
the ones who gave you fire to ease your pain
now wonder why you’re opening the door
and you sing the song
still you sing the song

in words untold
04:02
|

|
I met her on the rock
that is whipped by the silver waves
where the only true things were her eyes
and her mint-flavoured breath
she hanged a full-moon
on the sky of my darkest night
she embraced me and then with a kiss
she turned my constellation off
she called out my name
as my figure would merge with the shadows
there is only so much that a self-seeking man
would give up for her
she let out the song
that would patch up her broken heart
in a new life the truth she would find
in words untold no lies unfold

you're my pain
03:59

so welcome now my friend
to a broken scene before the end
make yourself at home
and rest back on the chair
are you afraid I’ll ask you why?
no, I am not going to ask you why
this is not the time
you know my body holds
a naked soul but if you want
to keep it all inside
then keep it all inside
could you hold me in your embrace?
or would that be too much to take?
my love
my friend
you’re my pain
now will you let me go
making me think that I would see you again?
without saying goodbye?
you’re my pain
please take it
take it away
