I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said

But they know me better than that
They know me better than that

They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
I never denied them

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said

How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted

They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
You tried them

I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now i know what it's worth

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said

I've never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed

They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
Thought that you liked them

They know me better than that

You stopped and left the car
Last thing I can recall
A raging ray of light
Vaporised all this life
You ran into the field
Incapable to breathe

Rest in peace it's all over now
It's the end of salvation
Memories in the photograph
Of the last generation
Of the last generation

I've seen this in my dream
Petrified family
Pointing hands at me
Victims of the tragedy
And dust replaced their souls
Hearts turn into stones

Rest in peace it's all over now
It's the end of salvation
Memories in the photograph
Of the last generation
Of the last generation

And dust replaced their souls
Minds turned into stone

Rest in peace it's all over now
It's the end of salvation
Memories in the photograph
Of the last generation

Rest in peace it's all over now
It's the end of salvation
Memories in the photograph
Of the last generation
Of the last generation

As madmen, some hung head down
From a long dead tree
Some discuss, all at once
For no one to hear

Variations on emptiness
Great themes on vain glory

And as some go feral in strange performances
Dressing customs that are metaphors
Of your disease
Hungry eyes are looking for me...

MephistoLaughing, I feed you
With meaningless games, tricks and philosophies
Whose answers you would die for
In your hunger to believe

How it does amuse me
And makes me wonder
For how long that it was mine
Because now it does really inflame me
As if ignorance was my secret desire...

Mephisto

I am an angel who dresses in red
Riding above you, etching fire rings
I have learned to fly
Don't you remember?
While you still have not come down
From your long-dead tree

I can teach you wonders if you give me your soul

Marvels and wild dreams can be yours
I can teach you how iron turns to gold
And how life can grow so old

But I am a demon who dresses in red
And I do not hope you will understand...

Mephisto

I'm closing all the curtains
So don't you even bother
And i'm calling out the murder
But i'm underneath the covers
But who's fooling who
With this mood like a train
Watch me roll over
Get out of my way

Chorus:
There's a knock on my door
But i'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away

I want a platinum blonde life
So i keep bleaching out the colors
I try to do what i oughta
But never drink enough water
Where did my lover go?
I really wish he could stay
I feel it's empty as a widow
I'm gonna sleep it all away

Repeat chorus

I'm gonna sleep all trough the day
I'm gonna asleep my life away
I'm gonna sleep all through the day
I'm gonna sleep myself away
I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it'll go away

Repeat chorus

I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it will go away

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are

Come on baby
Don't fear the reaper - Baby take my hand
Don't fear the reaper - We'll be able to fly
Don't fear the reaper - Baby I'm your man

Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity - Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women everyday - Like Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women everyday - Redefine happiness
Another forty thousand coming everyday - We can be like they are

Come on baby
Don't fear the reaper - Baby take my hand
Don't fear the reaper - We'll be able to fly
Don't fear the reaper - Baby I'm your man

Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
Clear she couldn't go on
Door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid

Come on baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then she started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on baby

Don't fear the reaper
Don't fear the reaper
Don't fear the reaper

Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la

Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever

Have you ever been for sale?
When your isms get smart
Oh so selfish and mindless
With that comment in your eye

Do you think that you are hard?
Really harder than the other
Man you're acting cold
If you are not in charge

Don't split your mentality
Without thinking twice
Your voice has got no reason
Now is the time to face your lies

Open your eyes, open your mind
Proud like a god don't pretend to be blind
Trapped in yourself, break out instead
Beat the machine that works in your head

Will you offer me some tricks
If i ever need them
Would you go into that room
If i call 'em

Do you think that you are better
Really better than the rest
Realize there's a problem
I know that you can give your best

Have you ever had a dream?
Or is life just a trip?
A trip without chances
A chance to grow up quick

Open your eyes, open your mind...

Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever
Night and night you feel nothing
There's no way outside of my land

Open your eyes, open your mind...

We storm ahead with swords'n shields
For victory we ride
We fight the world on these battlefields
To re-erect the pagan pride

We draw the blood of those in our way
It's 'victory or die
With pounding, raging fury we slay
Now christian hounds will pay

Charge ahead, no retreat
No merca, noone shall live
To us there is no defeat
No remorse to give

A wind of power blows from the north
The enemy shivers to the core
We slay with strength, pushing forth
Silence before the storm

The gates of valhall open up
The ground beneath us shakes
As oden leads the gods to war
The rainbow bridge cracks

Nothing can stop this final attack
We carve up all in our path
Now there is no turning back
Final battle is here at last

A feast awaits us when we get back
Awaiting all that fought in wrath
By the long fires we sit in glory
Ande beer cools our soar throats

We are few but strong in will
The last with pagan blood
We fought the world with burning steel
Now we sit in hall of gods

Pride and glory in our hearts
Pride and glory in our hearts

Live by the sword and help to contain
The helpless minds of you all
Die by my hand in pools of blood
Clutch yourself as you fall
Mindless tyranny, forgotten victims
Children slaughtered in vain
Raping the maids, in which they serve
Only the words of the lord

Die by the sword
Die by the sword

Satan watches all of us
Smiles as some do his bidding
Try to escape the grasp of my hand
And your life will no longer exist
Hear our cry, save us from
The hell in which we live
We turn our heads toward the sky
And listen for the steel

Die by the sword
Die by the sword

Watch as flowers decay
On [the] cryptic life that died
The wisdom of the wizards
Is only a neurtured lie
Black knights of hell's domain
Walk upon the dead
Satanas sits upon
The blood on which he feeds

Die by the sword
Die by the sword

I'm still remembering the day
I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare,
Because you were not there
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told
I need your affection all the way
The world has changed
Or I've changed in a way
I try to remain,
I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way...
I'm still remembering my life
Before I became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games
Reverse psychology
Never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul,
I didn't sell my soul...
I need your affection all the way....
They say the cream will always
Rise to the top
They say the good people
Are always first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain?
Will his presence still remain?
Remember JFK?
Ever saintly in a way
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I say, where are you now?
I need your affection all the way...

Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don't let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love rescue me

Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal
Love rescue me

And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm here without a name in the place of my shame
Love rescue me

In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
I see the dark shades of what I used to be
I see the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies
Love rescue me

And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm hanging by my thumbs
I'm ready for whatever comes
Love rescue me

Yea though I walk through the valley of shadow
Yet I will fear no evil
I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me
Love rescue me

Sha la la sha la la
Sha la la sha la la

I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance
To a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me
Love rescue me
