Broken body,
Old and weary.
You have lived a good life,
Long and merry.

You gaze on your home,
How long it has been.
You know your story is about to close,
And you think of your only sin.

The sin is known,
But no one believes.
The sin is long coming,
It does nothing but deceive.

The sin we pass to our children,
But they never know it.
It would sin of leaving them behind,
For fear of it breeds ignorant.

The sin is final passage,
For bringing mortal sorrow.
For when you go to sleep today,
And won't be back tomorrow.

Life is short,
Don't waste it.
For you never know when you die,
And will never Finnish it.
Fire, bright fire,
Burning everywhere.
Cold, real cold,
Something strange is here.

Flames flickering, glinting eyes,
I think I'm being fallowed.
Water reflecting like a mirror,
In its stone hallow.

I look around, with great fear,
The fire has gone out.
I am in a cave, it's light depraved,
There is no way out.

An eerie light, I look around,
There is no one here.
I approach the pool, the air is cool,
I see a reflection there.

I see my face, it's the same,
But my eyes are totally new.
For in them I see, the true nature of me,
The creature who only I knew.
I am the shadow of the moon at night,
Creeping along out of sight.
I am the  eyes starring at the back of your head,
The sweat on your back and the breeze in your hair.

I am the rustle of the leaves on the left,
Smelling the weight of the fear you heft.
I am the  ominous feeling in the air,
Watching you walk right into my lair.

I am here when I'm gone,
For my presence lingers long.
During the day I disappear,
Come back at night if you dare.
From when our life first blossomed,
We have caused destruction.
Since our first steps in our life,
We are surrounded by misfortune.

Since our first word,
We have spoken lies.
Since our first argument,
We slaughter each other like flies.

Since the dawn of man,
Our souls have rotted.
But the strands of fate shall be,
Forever they are knotted.

But even in a life of sins,
There is always a pure.
For in each and every one of us,
There is a vital cure.

When you reach your hand in friendship,
The light shines down on them.
For only when you stand together,
The righteous sprite will walk with man.

Compassion is our savior,
Greed is our undoing.
As long as we have friends,
Strange patterns the fates are sewing.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million bombers fly
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave craters everywhere
You'd think me mad
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth burns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is as crazy as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bolts
As they tried to teach me how to talk
A foxtrot above my head
An assassin beneath my bed
The dying world is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth burns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is as stupid as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such a paranoid maniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why don't I tire from killing peeps
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too happy to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)

To ten million souls that died
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they screamed in hatred
(screamed in hatred)
But I'll know where several are
If my life get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth burns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is as bad as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth burns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my home is bursting in the streets
If someone can sing this, you have my support.
Laugh at foe, laugh at woe!
This life's to short to last.
Smile a mile, smile a while!
The past is in the past.

Safe you are, safe for far!
Our home is free at last.
Love we give, love we live!
Down some beer in a cast.
You can chain me to the ground,
You can cut me over and over.
You can take away all hope,
But this will get you nowhere.

You can take away my stuff,
But you will never hurt me.
You take away my freedom,
But that will never cage me.

You can glare all you want,
I will not care.
You can destroy all I have,
But it will not even scare.

You say I'm ruining my life,
But I know the truth.
You just want the score on my head,
To  reperfect your youth.

I do not fallow orders,
Unless you have my respect.
If you put yourself against me,
A struggle you will expect.

When I put my mind to it,
I'm as stubborn as a mule.
And when you put up a fight,
To the fire, you add more fuel.
One...two...three...four....
Close the gate and lock the door.
Five... Six...seven...eight....
Go hide you must be quick.
Nine...ten...eleven...twelve....
Hear the zombies come out of hell.
Some nights I stay up,
Watching my shadows.
Sometimes I get up,
And lay down in the meadow.
Some nights I leave my body,
And wonder out alone.
Some nights I go to sleep,
Forming in my head a new home.
In this world I find quite foolish,
My thoughts turn to be quite ghoulish.
When someone is real stupid,
My words become quite lucid.
A whisper here, a little lie there,
And my prey fallows me into my lair.
