In a battle, you only brought your shield
I picked the nearest blade I found
To meet you in the field
I'm sure that I told my fair share of lies
If not, I bent the truth
But good fortune never was shining on me
The way it shone on you

Shock me, I needed a surprise
Shock me, I needed a surprise

In a dream, a great calamity
To stone my heart and firm resolve
And render nerves to steel
The polestar wheeled about my head
Until such time it grew
A deep well of despair I found
The day my dreams came true

Shock me, I needed a surprise
Shock me, I needed a surprise
Shock me

Shock me, I needed a surprise
Shock me, I needed a surprise
Shock me

I will bury all bones inside my garden
Underneath your eyes can't burn through it anymore
I will float above and I could read
Tie a bottle chain to the ghost on the ocean floor
And as my lungs dublate, you help me suffocate
We have no need to breathe!

You try to disappear,
So now I follow you

...

Climbing up the all together
Just us spinning wheel
Though I've made the same mistakes
Our love is never enough
Far away a brainiac
And I did feel the morning light
Crashing down on you

You take your time
All day and night
And I'll wait

Crash with me
Down my love in kerosene
And in the final hour
I sit still, my heart to wander away

When I called on my nursemaid
Come sit by my side
But she cuts through my ribcage
And pushes the pills deep in my eyes

The taste was much sweeter
Than chlorine and wine
And my doctor’s unable
To cut through cable that leads to my mind

In spite of the winter
There’s ways to keep warm
Whatever you give me
Please know that I’ll ask you for more

The day I stopped swimming
And came out of the tide
I’d never felt so uncomfortably dumb
Here by your side

Black rose on the bed
Turn me to fire
Black rose in the vein
Shine in your eye

Please
Don’t lay me down
Under the rocks where I found
My place in the ground
A home for the fathers and sons

Black rose on the bed
Turn me to fire
Black rose in the vein
Shine in your eye

Please
Don’t lay me down

Show me the hand
Show me the cut of them all
The iron bell
Drown me in the river
If I could I would leave today

Whip me without stop
Through the thousands of screamings in my head
Whip me without stop
And I'll tell you when the right is wrong
That's iron bell, I'm born again
Born again

Take me to hell,
Show me the culling guns
The iron bell
Drown me in the river
If I could I'd wipe those tears away

It's the same, but we look our better days
To be by surprise, we left our quiet homes behind
The castle waits, tackle love, desperation burns

Love still remains
Unclose your eyes, desperation

You never seem so sweet
Till you whisper in my ear
Never heard a sound but I could hear
And I could have, something obviously
Spill my blood inside my dream
Like the spinning wheels

Wash away, in a day
The desperation burns
Love still remains
Unclose your eyes, desperation

The last one's gone
Just out of sight
You can close your eyes
Sit back and enjoy the ride
Love still remains
Unclose your eyes, desperation burns.
