Jacob Kjaer

I saw you all around the place - a sure, solid bet:
no heart, no soul... a common face, as cold as you can get
Without a clue, without a cause
you're moving forward just because
it's in your blood, cuz otherwise you're just an

empty shell

Behind that almost perfect mask -
no feelings, no remorse
Remember: time is running fast,
the sound of closing doors
is getting louder every day. No use to look another way -
you never had a real name, you're just an

empty shell

The end is near - so unavoidable and rude -
I guess you're dwelling on the past Whatever happens here
is easy understood:
you're never meant to last, you're never gonna last.

Hey, how've you been? Dreamed 'bout you lately...
Whom have you seen? Miss you all... miss you greatly
I saw you smile... when? Last december?
Yeah, it's been awhile since you left. I remember
pain... as we're saying goodbye... pouring rain
Me? I don't know... lost all my senses -
facing the war makes you strong yet defenseless
Hell's all around, all that dying and screaming
There's no way out - you are next... so I'm dreaming

I close my eyes and hear: "Another man down."
but far behind me - I'm flying -
somebody else's body hits the ground I'm moving away... or just trying?

I spread my wings and hear: "Another man down." more screaming, cursing and crying
Somebody else's body hitting the ground... I open my eyes... and I am this "another man down"

Hey, it's getting colder... oh no, time to go

Life's not the same without you
All this time around you's been a dream.
and you'd never guess:
still I can hear your laughter even ages after
you've been gone. and I confess:

Half past loneliness... Im waiting for
all my dreams to show up at my door
The clock has stopped at
half past loneliness... Im wide awake
How much more a wounded,
broken heart can take?

Wait just a minute longer -
pain is getting stronger every time
you're on my mind
Now all I do is trying to forget, denying
a sense of time of any kind

Another day is passing by
but Im still standing, you might ask me "Why?
How many heartaches can you take,
how many wounds until your heart will break?"
Im moving on, Im pushing on
have no direction, but Im going strong
Just like a ship without a sail
with a hurricane right on its tail
I can't allow myself to fail

One more day - if you can give me one more day
Just one day - before you leave me - one more day.

The ones I met, the ones I lost
became a single - kind of scary - ghost
It keeps on knocking on my door
I tell you. I can't take it anymore
Entire life - a bloody mess
but at this point I couldn't care less
Whoever stayed, whoever fled:
you sort it out while Im - instead -
will keep on moving straight ahead

The race is on... I kneel and pray:
"Just give me one more day."

In the midnight hour Im sitting by the fire,
running out of memories to burn
Look, Im in your power - beaten down and tired,
waiting for the last thing left to learn

So show me how to live

You can leave me waiting by this dying fire...
just a single question, anyway:
What's the point - creating life but no desire
to hang on and face another day?

So show me how to live, cuz all I do is trying
to honestly forgive, but patience's running dry
So show me how to live: you can't keep denying
what all you've had to give - a thousand ways to die
Now show me how to live

I thought that the madness was over as echo of a last bloody war
was fading away, but discovered a new breed of fools on the way
to steal their fair share of headlines... in "Whatever Times"
over and over

For some unexplainable reason there's always a few of a kind
who'd put their beliefs in a prison of highly deranged, vicious minds
Praying away for a bigger and stronger empire to surface the Earth,
coming back from the ashes to set every nation on fire...
Blood's on your face and all over the place as

you're hiding, you're lying - disgrace is worse than dying,
keep falling much lower 'cause it's so far from over
The war cry's returning (remaining bridges're burning)
you'll hear it - we mean it - so clear and loud:
"Blood in blood out!"

Now the war's moving into your home...heat's getting closer

Who could have believed or expected, who knew all along that today
Dark Ages will be resurrected - now look at yourself, go on!
Wait for Messiah to save you and show what to do, follow
millions of desperate rebels without a clue what are they fighting for,
asking Almighty for.

See it coming... blood in blood out.

The chaos keeps on raging, still hungry for a thrill -
whatever script we're staging:
holy book's kept close to the gun - now fire at will
The cast is ever changing to reinvent its skill -
no soppy happy ending:
in the name of some God - just fire at will

Rest your weary head my son, all your trouble's just begun... it's still
a long way home.

It's been around for a while... that sign of a new beginning
I tried to let it all slide - no way, my mind keeps spinning
Some of the choices I've made's been haunting me forever
as trying hard to persuade me to regret. However:

Loneliness is grieving over what you are and then discover
who you were... or used to be... and now it seems so hard to understand
Give me strength to be who I was, recreate the ones whom I lost
down the road - so hard and lonely - please forgive me now for who I am

I do agree to a point... no grudge's been left unchallenged
as if I could disappoint a crowd around me... As each
day of my life has been led by one declining nation
And in the end - all I'd get's my final destination

As there's no escape and no redemption at any Sunday afternoon
Your sins are catching up to hit you in the back -
you never thought they would until today...you're doomed
while watching an open exit wound

All by myself under the scorching sun
looking around, hoping the hate is gone
Waiting... as for the magic trick to be revealed:
you see, it's high noon at the battlefield - and not a soul around -
another high noon at the battlefield

Touching the ground, feeling the pain below...
How did it end there? Wish you'll never know
Guarded by this soil as if it was a shield:
you see, it's high noon at the battlefield - I left my fear behind -
a peaceful high noon...

But not so long ago the wind was strong and freezing cold
while blood was running down that hill
A war like this - you mark my words - can not be put on hold:
we'll keep on welding our steel
Do you believe that horrors from our distant past
will ever make us change our mind? No way!
Forget the fallen ones - we're in to have a blast,
so all in all we're doing fine.

Ways of beliefs were written down to please you:
saints, common thieves - each one his own to pick.
So why - can you tell me - your breed's inventing something new?
Holy war? Now I see - a sacrifice a week
Infidels way: live - let live... how can you resist
sudden urge to blow them away?

No - we're aware, your war's to get attention...
how could we dare to turn the TV off?
Raid (suicidal) - your humble share in a world's perfection
You'll meet - time is right - your idol and I hope
one bullet is enough... while you're screaming
from the top of your lungs:

Jihad! The ones who feel the pain will try to stop "the rain
of terror", it's insane... I hear them screaming:
Jihad! I know who it might be: nobody else but we,
the ones who hold the key...That's all they need:
Jihad! And as the time goes by we'll look upon the sky
to ask the question: "Why they keep on screaming
Jihad?" They're just a hostile breed that bites a hand that feeds
and loves to see it bleed - it's just a hostile breed

that cherish hate based on fear - that their religion can inspire
nowadays. All we hear is: "Jihad!"

While all of us walk alone... no help, we're on our own
The end - as they say - is a heartbeat away,
so give me a reason to stay...

Roaring silence...you walk down the street in Belfast -
think of it as every step that you take is your last...
It could be, easily, just keep on watching your back:
highest alert all the time - you are under attack,
better keep moving

Rain's falling down on me as trying to make me see
the scars of this town. Just leave it and run
surrounded by tears of the sun

Shot in the distance - and fear bounces back from these walls,
someone ahead of you screams and suddenly falls
Killings are random but there is a reason behind
Retaliation? Well, half of the nation went blind

while children in church are singing so peaceful,
bells are ringing a lovely tune... I'm going mad!

Rain's falling down on me as trying to make me see
the scars of this town. Just leave it and run
surrounded by tears of the sun
Rain's falling down on me... I wish it will let me be
One day I'll be gone but whatever I've done's
remembered by tears of the sun

You can't ask for forgiveness from Heaven
'til you've asked for forgiveness from men...
In this town it will take you forever, so who gives a damn?

White cape, red cross... hands up to cheer The Big Boss
No life, no love, no thoughts, no brains to speak of:
"Stand tall, divide the whole world in black and off-white!"
You've got your plan... God bless you losers and your Clan

The day will come... lights out - and soon you'll be gone
Who's left? Your son... The only thing you'll pass on:
"Kill a nigger, kill a Jew, kill a couple, kill a few". Alright -
no more, no less? He'll put you to rest while going:

Raise your glass and hail The Clan
feel united by your colour
Raise hell just because you can,
burn a cross... and one another.

In the beginning there was one and only God, you see - all said and done -
the only one you chose to rule the world
But then... as time was passing by you kept - without even knowing why -
re-entering new faces to the fold
So was it progress or regress? A bunch of them created such a mess
inventing laws all written gold on gold

"From now on one icon leaves no room for others"

So now we're back - a single face in every corner, showing holy grace,
demanding bigger palace - worth the king
We're working hard to build it right, we're slaving every day and every night,
just dying to complete this bloody thing

Higher, higher... we can't stop. The tower's getting higher

Build a perfect house of light on our flesh and bones
to keep a sacred image under lock and key, but
every single dream we had kept ending in the mud
when we replaced religion with the rock...
the very first mistake - a simple rock.

Inferior gods must be gone... tomorrow there'll be only one.

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.

Kiss Of Faith

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.

When the night is calling I shut another door

Celebrating loneliness I've never known before

I miss a place to call my own - it's a long way home




In my open prison cell just everything I've got

disappeared in silence every word I've said is not

And now I'm lost and all alone - it's a long way home




It's a long road, but even longer for the blind

And I've been searching way too long

Still I can't find the place where I belong

It's a long way home




You see me suffer on my knees - I wish I knew just what it

means

You watch us come, you watch us go - he tells me

something I don't know

You've set me up, I thought I'm free - just tell me where you

wanna be

Another step and I'll be gone - what you will do can be

undone

It's over now - I feel my sadness fades away
Wonder how we could survive and take it through another day?
I'd say chances are few, but they are out there
Start something new - right now and right here - Look, I'm telling you...

We'll never give up, we'll never give in
Wherever this road's gonna lead us
We'll never give up, we're playin' to win
And heading right up to the top

We'll never give up, we'll never retreat
Whatever out there's gonna hit us
We'll never give up, we'll land on our feet
We'll make it come right in the end - We'll never give up!

Seconds fly as if the're bullets - Could it be
Worth a try (a try) to cut them loose and let some peace come sown on me?
I see chances are few but the are out there, waiting for you to decide
To start something new - right now and right here to change your life tonight

We'll never give up, we'll never give in
Wherever this road's gonna lead us
We'll never give up, we're playin' to win
And heading right up to the top

We'll never give up, we'll never retreat
Whatever out there's gonna hit us
We'll never give up, we'll land on our feet
We'll make it come right in the end - We'll never give up!

We will never give up, we'll never give in
Wherever this road's gonna lead us
We'll never give up, we're playin' to win
And heading right up to the top

We'll never give up, we'll never retreat
Whatever out there's gonna hit us
We'll never give up, we'll land on our feet
We'll make it come right in the end - We'll never give up!

We'll never give up!
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Never, no!

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?

You're not my kind
Not my kind
Not my kind...

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.

Seven Days


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...

Age gone Wild


All I need is to turn the page
I can see a man - he's twice my age
Proud face, a lot of scars
I can see a shadow of the bars

Hold on - can you feel the sorrow
hold on - he wont see tomorrow.

Yes, he was proud as hell to the end of the line
So he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild
The magic and the spell and eye for an eye
Now, he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild.

Just a kid but he was told
He will be the one to rule the world
Such a shame - with the speed of light
He became a beggar over night

Age gone Wild


All I need is to turn the page
I can see a man - he's twice my age
Proud face, a lot of scars
I can see a shadow of the bars

Hold on - can you feel the sorrow
hold on - he wont see tomorrow.

Yes, he was proud as hell to the end of the line
So he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild
The magic and the spell and eye for an eye
Now, he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild.

Just a kid but he was told
He will be the one to rule the world
Such a shame - with the speed of light
He became a beggar over night

Bad luck ? over and over again
Bad luck
Bad luck

Working so hard make me feel I've committed a crime
I wanna make it so big, it's just a matter of time
Foolin' around now my time is running out
I want my feet back on the ground

I'm down ? and my chances so low
One for the money, two for a show
Why trouble ? is comin' to stay?
Bad luck ? bad luck all the way

I'm just gettin' so tired of fightin' the wall
Hey ? watchin' a big shot passing the ball
Nothing to loose, I'm in hell on pleasure cruise
Who gives a shit which way I choose, nobody moves

I'm down ? and my chances so low
One for the money, two for a show
Bad luck ? such a heavy load
Ain't gonna miss it goin' down the road

Sky high ? but it's never enough
Hey, little angel, kick that stuff
Why trouble ? is comin' to stay?
Bad luck ? bad luck all the way

I'm down ? and my chances so low
One for the money, two for a show
Bad luck ? such a heavy load
Ain't gonna miss it goin' down the road

Sky high ? but it's never enough
Hey, little angel, kick that stuff
Why trouble ? is comin' to stay?
Never, never, never again

I'm down ? and my chances so low
One for the money, two for a show
Bad luck ? such a heavy load
Ain't gonna miss it ? goin' down the road

Sky high ? but it's never enough
Hey, little angel, kick that stuff
Why trouble ? is comin' to stay?
Bad luck ? bad luck all the way

Another fight - another story.
I cannot choose, I'm always playin too much.
Days runs to night, turns off the glory.
Somebody's looses, somebody looks out of touch.

The colors are dark, but I hope to get luck on my side,
My sprit lost - I'm cry my heart out.
10 000 years have passed and what have we learned?
We're doin' worse - illusion's all 'round -
My life's the same as many lifetimes ago...

Day in, day out - I'll be alright,
Day in, day out - I feel like shoutin' it out.

I'm stranger in town, tryin' to make some connections,
My future and past are desperate wreck.
I'm starin' at mirrors and my my own reflection,
So rashly and slowly stickin' a knife in my back...

Easy Rider


Somebody's gonna win one in a million, on of a kind
So tell me it's a sin, I'm pushin' it up and crossin' the line

Nobody's gonna run, Nobody's gonna hide
So if you are lookin' for trouble - you'd better stand up and fight

Easy Rider - takin' it day by day
Easy Rider - drinkin' the night away.
Easy Rider - livin' it day by day
Easy Rider - trouble is on its way

Since I was a kid, never looked back, never slowed down
Ridin' the street, lookin' for a one way ticket to the promised land

Flight
