lyrics
Since your death
Everything has felt so meaningless and vain
that I’ve lost the will to live
Love, your death
Ripped my heart right out and since you went away
Life’s had nothing more to give
Cross my heart and hope to die
May my end come tonight
Across the dark, into the light
May death again us unite
Love, my fate
Will you wait for me there...where our autumn dawns?
There, beyond the dreary seas
Will you wait?
Will you welcome me into your arms once more?
Where our waters still fall free
Cross my heart and hope to die
May my end come tonight
Across the dark, into the light
May death again us unite
Cross my heart and hope to die
May my end come tonight
I’ll depart from this life
May death again us unite
May it come...
My heart went down with you
At your funeral I was buried, too
My life - it ended with yours
And I...exist no more

lyrics
The bells again...someone has died
The bells of the end toll to remind
that life’s but a race against time
At your back you’ll always hear
The Chariot of Time hurrying near
The faster you run the closer it comes
A pursuer you can not outrun
Hear these words I say:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the light on our way
On this momentary trail
Hear these words, awake:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
that we’re allowed to stay
The bells again...whose turn this time?
To reach the end, yours or mine?
Each funeral just makes us realize
that life’s but a series of goodbyes
Hear these words I say:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the light on our way
On this momentary trail
(too late)
Hear these words I say:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the light on our way
On this momentary trail
Hear these words, awake:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
that we’re allowed to stay
Life passes by, melts away like snow in the spring
We all are blind to the running of time

lyrics
Carpe diem...
Seize the day before your life fades away
Reach for the skies - for the distant sun
And keep on hiding from the gun
No! You need to sell your soul
for it’s great to lose control
Can’t you feel that growing desire
To go down with the blazing fire
You need to burn and reach the point of no return
- Waste no time dreaming in vain!
You and I aren’t built to last
- Go astray - the only way!
You and I will make it fast
- Burn the candle at both ends!
Let’s take a ride before we fall
- Leave no room for happy endings!
And make it right for once and for all
Something’s twisted in your head
for you live as you were dead
So therefore you must play with the gun
and be sure to have your fun
Take my hand and I’ll lead you astray
for it’s the only way
Let’s give in to the growing desire
and go down with the blazing fire
We need to burn and reach the point of no return
- Waste no time dreaming in vain!
You and I aren’t built to last
- Go astray - the only way!
You and I will make it fast
- Burn the candle at both ends!
Let’s take a ride before we fall
- Leave no room for happy endings!
And make it right for once and for all
[Repeat twice]

| Excuse Me While I Kill Myself | |
|
How do you do
I wish you a plesant afternoon
Well fuck you too
Rcognise the one I choose for you
CHORUS
I kill myself
I blow my brains onto the wall
So you inhale
I will not take this anymore
This is where it ends
This is where I will draw the line
Excuse me while
I end my life
I will go there soon
Not having a reasons no excuse
What the hell do you
Suppose I have left to lose?
CHORUS
(I'll kill myself)
I'll kill myself
See you in hell
I'll kill myself
See you in hell
I'll kill myself
See you in hell
I'll kill myself
See you in hell
I'll kill myself
See you in hell
I'll kill myself
I kill myself
I blow my brains onto the wall
So you inhale
I will not take this anymore
This is where it ends
I put a bullet through my head
And then drop dead
This is where it ends
This is where I will draw the line
Excuse me while
I kill myself

lyrics
What is it that we’re struggling for?
I don’t quite see it anymore
Life kicks us in the teeth
Yet something makes us crawl back for more...
Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death
Hours like days, weeks feel like years
Decades of Tears
Yet somehow...
We’ll lose the things we’re fighted for
Each rise is followed by a fall
We’ll lose the ones we love, the ones we most adore
Yet go on...We go on
Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death
Hours like days, weeks feel like years
Decades of Tears
Yet somehow everything seems so worthwhile
For a moment...for a moment...
What is it that we’re waiting for?
Looking forward to, preparing for?
Like kicks us in the teeth
Yet something makes us crawl back for more...
Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death
Hours like days, weeks feel like years
Decades of Tears
Yet somehow
Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death
Hours like days, weeks feel like years
Decades of Tears
Yet somehow everything seems so worthwhile
For a moment everything seems so worthwhile
For a moment...for a moment...

lyrics
You’re the light at the end of the tunnel
The beacon fire in the dark
The glimmer of hope and truly the meaning of my life
I say this with all of my heart:
You are the only one for me
Year to year, in words and deed
In all this chaos the trace of clarity
You are the only one I see
My first and last, my all and everything
You are the One
When dusk falls and obscures the sky
You’re the shine of the Northern Star
No dead of night can fade the brilliance of your light
I say this, holder of my heart:
You are the only one for me
Year to year, in words and deed
In all this chaos the trace of clarity
You are the only one I see
My first and last, my all and everything
You are the One
[Repeat]
You are the only one
In the heart of winter the comfort of the sun
You are the One, my love, my love...You are the One

| The Luxury of a Grave | |
|
On day zero my mother was expecting... the worst
And out of my father's ass I was born, feet first
"Oh, no"
The most horrendous piece of feces ever forced
To be disposed of is what I was created for
Oh, no... (I'm sorry that I was born) ...so wrong!
When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don't deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay ...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of a grave
My worthlessness is something there is no doubt of:
- I am a waste of the filth I was made out of
How low... (I'm sorry I'm still alive) ...can I go!?
When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don't deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay ...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of...
Oh, no... a coffin would be way too nice
Oh, no... a see-through plastic bag will do just fine
When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don't deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay ...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of a grave

| No One There | |

lyrics
The axe, the bottle and the rope
The feeling there really is no more hope
The thought of the great unknown
And facing it alone
The dark, the silent and the cold
The feeling I have come to the end of my road
Yes, these are the things I spend
My remaining moments with
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Why did it have to be so hard
For us to live our lives
Again I reach out in the dark in despair
The desperation and the snow
The feeling of finally coming back home
The melancholy and the hole in the soil so hard and cold
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Your love for me, my love for you
Things we somehow managed to lose
Now there’s only the ruthless wind
To blow right through
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
To think we both will die alone
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
