Rotersand - 1023 (2007)

What makes you happy?
What keeps you alive?
What makes you happy?
What keeps you alive?

We're living in a given time
We're living in a given time

The shiny guns were loaded with bullets made of words
They hit and they exploded, we're bleeding and it hurts
We're in this fight together, there's none of us to blame
Whatever was the matter, this is a crying shame

But you bark and you bite
And your reasons are true
Still you force and you fight
And your blood keeps rushing

You're a fool if you choose to believe in sight
And your rules save your world from a different light
Don't walk from me
Talk to me
And your soul's getting lost in the dead of night
Bring it home, take a walk on the other side
Don't walk from me
Talk to me

So I guess I've had enough of waiting
Got to go
The night is up, I see the dawn is breaking
But there's nowhere I can go

I don't know what to get, I don't know
I don't see where it's at, I don't know
I just left what is was right, I don't know
Painted black what was white, I don't know

Now I'm living in the land of promise
Did not know
Your fake is real and my deceit is honest
But there's nowhere I can go

You know me, you trust me, you love me, it's all in your eyes
You stir me, you tempt me, you want me to drown in your sighs
But you're a liar, a liar
You're just a liar, a liar

You fool me, you scorn me, you flout me, you're rolling the dice
You trick me, you knock me, you jilt me like just a device
'Cause you're a liar, a liar
You're just a liar, a liar

Love is lost, lost in all those moments
Cruelly denied with every time you lied
Love is lost, it's just a dying romance
It was never meant ever to survive

Love is lost, a dream is left to perish
A tale that burns in the light of truth
Love is lost, the love we used to cherish
Love is lost, a kingdom gone for good

I am with you from the day
You saw the light and took your mother's breath away
I am with you when you fade
When your soldier's laying down his blunted blade

Once you'll stay with me
I will set you free
Forever free from all your worries and your vanity
There's no need to fear
I will hold you dear
In my arms you'll close your eyes for all eternity

I am with you when you laugh
With sudden joy that makes you praise the gods above
I am with you when you cry
When all you ask is why and there is no reply

Me and you standing eye to eye
I read your face, I've known you for so long
Torn in two and I don't know why
What was right somehow now is wrong

I say hey my friend
Don't let it end
We've got to try, try while we still can

I say hey my friend
I don't know when
But there's a time our sun will rise again

What we did, what we said
What we missed and what we had
I cry, I cry over you

I say hey my friend
I say no you can't
Walk away, run away like this

Sky and heaven all the same
Pouring from above in scalding acid rain
Now run for shelter
The gods have gone insane

Floods of fire, storms of steam
Apocalyptic thunder drowning every scream
Now run for shelter
The gods have gone insane

Acrid fetor, demon's breath
Every creature still alive is scared to death
Now run for shelter
The gods have gone insane

Hey hey hey, the world is bound to shatter
We're facing victory or ultimate defeat
From now for ever
The gods have gone insane

Hey hey hey, we got to stand together
This is the greatest challenge man will ever meet
From now for ever
The gods have gone insane

Feeling the quest for an answer
One spark will set your spirit alight
Like music is driving the dancer
It calls on your forces inside

An image your mind can decipher
A word that your own perception has told
A notion to live or to die for
A vision you dare to behold

A tiny line dividing friend and enemy
Don't you know that meaning is the drug
A force divine to make our minds one family
Don't you know that meaning is the drug

For how long have you been here tonight?
I saw you, but I don't remember

In the world nothing can be dead and gone
The inner world is your light to guide you home
The visions we're building, they're fuelling our lives and keep us strong
They live in our children, imagine the world and pass it on

Like it were set from mankind's early dawn
Within the world the inner world is moving on
Wherever it's turning, how ever it proves you right or wrong
Addicted to learning but somehow you know it all along
