I can not sleep, while you hide in the skins of saints and virgins Cunningly, you've again betrayed us all
Oh I know, my time is wasted by this hatred Oh I know, this grudge will suck me dry But maybe you'll come and put me out of my misery One graceful day you'll set me free
Won't you drop dead? You won't fool me with your same old lies Won't you drop dead? ‘Cause I have seen what's behind those eyes Oh Casanova Won't you drop dead? Oh Casanova
I can not wait for you people to bring down your statues Liberate me and please come clean But maybe you'll come and put me out of my misery One graceful day you'll set me free
You've again betrayed us all Now you're bound to fall
But maybe I'll come and put you out of your misery One graceful day I'll set you free
At the end of the week Crammed in commuter trains Stations go by But we don’t know their names
Our eyes never meet We flip through catalogues Or gape at our feet To maintain control
And there’s a beacon in the middle of The town and when The power’s out It shows the way back home
It shows the way back home Home It shows the way back home Home It shows the way back home
The camera shot All the grins and stares But when the pictures appeared There was no one there
I could hear the sound Distant and thin Of our hearts Caving in
And there’s a beacon in the middle of The town and when The power’s out It shows the way back home
It shows the way back home Home It shows the way back home Home It shows the way back home
And at the end of the week We’ll set things on fire And at the end of the week We’ll set things on fire
Do you know that thing Just before you fall asleep A sudden shock And the feeling of falling down It’s the ghosts of the past That try To sink Their talons in And drag you back in to the dark Back into the dark Back into the dark
And at the end of the week We’ll set things on fire And at the end of the week We’ll set things on fire
We’ll set things on fire Yeah, we'll set things on fire.
I miss my friends, who's names I can't pronounce I miss the place where hope was to be found All blue clouds over Europe Now's the right time to get up and I just want to incinerate
24/365 I feel the need to be on fire 24/365 I've been holding it back for way too long
So can you hear this aimless call to arms Into the night we'll go setting off alarms Our hope is gone, now it's official It disappeared without a signal and now is the time to incinerate
24/365 I feel the need to be on fire 24/365 I've been holding it back for way too I've been holding it back for way too I've been holding it back for way too long
I miss my friends, who's names I can't pronounce I bless the ones who are sure to stick around All blue clouds over Europe Now's the right time to get up and all I want is to incinerate
24/365 I feel the need to be on fire 24/365 And I've been holding it back for way too I've been holding it back for way too I've been holding it back for way too long
Once in a year they shoot up fireworks This time we'll give them something in return Once in a year they shoot up fireworks We've never known why, it's not our concern We're ugly little teens in ugly little towns We tried sneaking light now, but our steps make holes into the ground
Take over Walk through the walls Come over This is our town Just make a move an you are history
We're going to fuck you up just for sitting there Our word is the law, yeah, our word is the law here We're ugly little teens in ugly little towns We spit between our teeth and then we strike a frown
Take over Walk through the walls Come over This is our town Just make a move an you are history Take over Walk through the walls Turn over Our arms are crossed And don't make a sound cause we are listening
Once in a year shoot up fireworks Now something went wrong and the whole city burns
Take over Walk through the walls Come over This is our town Just make a move an you are history Take over Walk through the walls Turn over Our arms are crossed And don't make a sound cause we are listening Take over, turn over, take over, turn over
Bad news travels faster in here Bad news travels faster in here
Climb back up on the dead horse, make it gallop again Can't afford to lay idle, we'll get rest in the grave Eyes full of dust, ears full of noise We can dance 'til the sunrise When the empire is dead
When everything is silent we can be ourselves When everything is silent, silent
Meet the standards with guts out Punch myself into sleep We can stop making plans for, plans for life and beyond Eyes full of dust, ears full of noise We can dance 'til the sunrise when the empire is dead
When everything is silent we can be ourselves When everything is silent, silent
Have we gone insane, have we gone insane?
When everything is silent, we can be ourselves We're the bright eyed sons of the New Rome rising
Enter the night with steps faster than before Like a boxer prepares before a fight They don't want to know that we are alive Enter the night, clenching fists with the dawn Not giving up wihtout a fight They don't want to know that we are alive
Open up your arms, open up your arms Open up your arms for what ever comes
Enter the night, the wind is colder than before It wants cut us down to size They don't want to know that we are alive Enter the night,aim to even up the score We'll never follow their design Cause they don't want to know that we're alive They don't want to know that we are alive
Open up your arms, open up your arms Open up your arms for what ever comes
Enter the night, moves more decisive that before Like a boxer prepared before a fight We will make them know that we're alive We will make them know that we're alive
I've been trying to shape up Shape up and raise hell But it's so hard to wake up 'Cause baby, I ain't well
This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight
Chorus: I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my heart signing off
I've been trying to catch up Catch up with the fuzz But it's so hard to wake up And even catch the buss
Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes And though my words could save the world, they never come out right This is an emergency call 'cause I haven't seen the light
Chorus I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my heart signing off
Only cowards need help to get by Only cowards need friends to survive 2x
This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight
Chorus I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my heart signing off
There's something strange about the way the tap-water tastes Making speeches for the walls gets harder with every phrase I woke up and everyone had gone I woke up when the sun was setting I woke up and you were gone away
On any given day We might fall apart, We might fall apart On any minute now We might fall apart, Just like a house of cards
There's something strange about the way the horizon glows We'll lie down on the road and the cars drive inches from our toes I woke up and everyone had gone I woke up when the sun was setting I woke up and you were gone away
Maybe it's the chloroform kicking in, the chloroform is kicking in or maybe we've given in
On any given day We might fall apart, We might fall apart On any minute now We might fall apart, Just like a house of cards
Scattered on a satin bed Body parts without a head I cannot function when you're not around
So push it up to raise the dead Out of words and out of breath I cannot function when you're not around
And when I'm tired of walking alone I put my headphones on And when it's time to get out of it all I put my headphones on And when it feels like everything's wrong I put my headphones on And when it's time to get out of it all I don't want to listen to the static on the radio
Dancing through the tower blocks Snare drum hits like handgun shots I cannot function when you're not around
A guillotine to make a cut Now push it louder, don't ever stop I cannot function when you're not around
And when I'm tired of walking alone I put my headphones on And when it's time to get out of it all I put my headphones on And when it feels like everything's wrong I put my headphones on And when it's time to get out of it all I don't want to listen to the static on the radio
Climbing up the wall of sleep Sliding on the surfaces Put the music loud enough to raise the dead
Now build it up until my ears burn My body drops into another world Put the music loud enough to raise the dead
And when I'm tired of walking alone I put my headphones on And when it's time to get out of it all I put my headphones on And when it feels like everything's wrong I put my headphones on And when it's time to get out of it all That's when the sound goes...
Spitting teeth you know you've won Just another punch and you'll be detonated You never learned to back up and run Just another push and you'll be dislocated
Mastering the art of self-deceit Planting the apple seeds
For you we own this song The saddest of them all My own Human Cannonball For you we own this song Cause we know where you fall My own Human Cannonball
Blessed are the silent and the meek Another sound and they will knock you over Don't ever show that you are weak Just another round so they don't know you're broken
With the rope around your neck You're dancing trough the air With the ropes around your feet As proud as you could ever be
Dead beat, shoving stuff into our shopping carts But we don't know the credit-card's corner's cut Empty our pockets down the same drain the paper-bills originally came from Save me from basements and rooftops Oh help me, I was buried under parking lots
Take a look into my eyes now Take a look into the eyes of a ghost Reach out for my hands now Reach out for the hands of a ghost
Dead meat, we're a shareholder's dream of little babies with price tags on their foreheads Gently hold my wrist and feel my pulse slowly fading to the background music Save me from basements and rooftops Oh help me, I was buried under parking lots
Take a look into my eyes now Take a look into the eyes of a ghost Reach out for my hands now Reach out for the hands of a ghost
Slept on the sidewalk I've never felt so cold Slept on the sidewalk I've never felt so cold
I'll come back for what I've left I pay back a lifetime theft I'll come back for what is mine This life was just one out of nine
Take a look into my eyes now Take a look into the eyes of a ghost Reach out for my hands now Reach out for the hands of a ghost The eyes of a ghost I'll come back for what is mine This life was just one out of nine
We need a screaming headline We need a hook for the storyline, Honey I never thought it could go so wrong But I was young and I needed the money
I didn't recognize you with your clothes on Honey, put your clothes on 1,2,3,4,
Can you hear the seductive sirens? Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Can you hear the atonal anthem? Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Turn up your radio Hear the call of black euro Can you hear the atonal anthem? Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
They're sketching a monster In the back of the limousine Another cross for us to bear Light it up with kerosene
I didn't recognize you with your mask off Oh, take your mask off 1,2,3,4,
Oh holy labour, hold me close You give me everything I'm on my knees every time I hear your voice You give me everything Everything
A time to raid A time to conquer The busses without passengers
Push it in, Pin-cushion queen Bleed red like no-one's ever seen Now give it every single drop
This one goes for the fresh new blood, yeah This one's not for the faint at heart, yeah Another day, another new found lost soul Another day, the fresh new blood still runs strong
Steer the wheel blindfolded Following the compass nail This road goes where you want it to go This is the time you're in control Now give it everything you've got
Sew up the seams Stitches made with stable hands Hold up and let you sleep Sew up the seams Stitches made with shaky hands Hold up until they bleed
A time to raid A time to conquer The trains without passengers
Push it in, Pin-cushion queen Bleed red like no-one's ever seen Give it everything you've got Give it every single drop
I forgot to call The matches need to dry We need batteries for flashlights We're waiting by the phone Sharpening the knives Make sure you lit the fuse right
Don't wait up, don't waste your time Don't hold up on a dead phone line Just make sure you lit the fuse right
Blow up the world See if I care Leave us to burn See if I care Blow up the world, leave us to burn Make it a mess, I couldn't care less Blow up the world See if I care
I forgot to say The world might end today We can go and kick the streetlights I'm all out of faith A reason to sleep late Make sure you lit the fuse right
Don't wait up, don't waste your breath Don't make up, there's no time left Just make sure you lit the fuse right
Don't waste the wine When the sparks turn into flames We all be passed out We pass out We pass out Don't waste your time When the coffin's sealed with nails We'll all be passed out We pass out We pass out
I want to take you to my hotel-room And show you my collection of stolen silver-spoons I want explosions every single day Just give me a minute and I'll be already on my way
I'm going to shake the dust off my shoes I'm going to shake off the dust of this town
So long, my sisters We'll never see again We'll never kiss again So long my brothers We'll never see again We'll never meet again
I want to shove you into my suitcase Put you in to the back of my car with no license plates I want to take you where the wind only goes Say goodbye to the strangling ties and cardboard souls
I'm going to shake the dust off my shoes I'm going to shake off the dust of this town
So long, my sisters We'll never see again We'll never kiss again So long my brothers We'll never see again We'll never meet again
So long, my sisters, So long my brothers Au revoir, all sons and daughters So long, my sisters, So long my brothers Au revoir, all sons and daughters We are going to shake the dust off our shoes We're going to shake off the dust of this town
They took our bodies Now we gave our souls They bought our minds And now we're broke The air makes my skin turn pale But I can feel you on the Richter-scale
The revolution, Well it makes me yawn There's only the darkness When you are gone
Don't ever go You'll have to promise me You're the only thing that's ever meant something for me Don't ever go You are the dawn for me I'm a mess but at least I'm yours to keep You are the dawn
The economists rant and drool But all fortune I really need is you
All the dress codes really make me yawn There's only the darkness When you are gone
The city always sleeps Light has abandoned these pitch black streets The city always sleeps You have abandoned these pitch black streets
