When something dies...

you cannot bring it back to life

Mercy Street

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams made real

All of the buildings, all of the cars
Were once just a dream
In somebody's head

She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam
She pictures a soul
With no leak at the seam

Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness
Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness comes

Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and gray
Nowhere in the suburbs
In the cold light of day

There in the midst of it, so alive and alone
Words support like bone

Dreaming of Mercy Street
Where you're inside out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street
Swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms

Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word
Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
To the priest, he's the doctor
He can handle the shocks

Dreaming of the tenderness
The tremble in the hips
Of kissing Mary's lips

Dreaming of Mercy Street
Where you're inside out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street
Swear they moved that sign
Looking for mercy
In your daddy's arms

Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
Looking for mercy
Mercy, looking for mercy
Mercy, looking for mercy
Looking for mercy
Oh, mercy
Looking for mercy

Anne, with her father, is out in the boat
Riding the water
Riding the waves on the sea

SHRIEKBACK - Faded Flowers (Remix)

This is the sound of poisons
The sickness no one knows
No one is crying for us this time
Our shapes are blurring
Under miracles of snow
Weave a circle 'round him three times
You have to plan your moves at these times
Our hearts are breaking
One more song to go

These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
These hands I kiss
Tragic as anything
These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
All splash and hiss
Beyond my measuring

Only the anacrucis
The main event remains
Shameful and naked, out there
In the great cold outdoors
We have to learn these things again
Bathe in this incandescent glow
The leap to something I don't know
There is no doubt upon us when
The greasy men come back again

These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
These hands I kiss
Tragic as anything
These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
All splash and hiss
Beyond my measuring

These faded flowers
Precious as memory
A veil of cloud
Correct as energy
We had some good machines
But they don't work no more
I loved you once
Don't love you anymore

These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
These hands I kiss
Tragic as anything
These eyes are blind
This is a pure thing
All splash and hiss
Beyond my measuring

These faded flowers
Precious as memory
A veil of cloud
Correct as energy
We had some good machines
But they don't work no more
I loved you once
Don't love you anymore

I'll sing it one last time for you...

   SNOW PATROL - Run




I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

"3" Lyrics (von 'Disturbed')

i often wonder why i sit and wait to die
what have i done to justify the sentence they gave?
too many hours spent in darkness questioning...
"how and why"?
i can't remember many moments in the light
this retribution has defiled me to no end
and execution without merit looms ahead
tell me why!

i was a boy who had to live his own way
i never fit into the model they had designed
i chose a path less taken...
i stood with others who had often felt the same
we got stares from passersby
our dark attire seemed to frighten people away
and when three young boys died
they pointed fingers and entangled us in a lie!

...no hope in sight.....

i sit here terrified!
can't someone try to bring the truth to light?
won't anybody open up their eyes?
before the three of us have lost our lives!

why was everybody so damn afraid?
they blamed the devil for the heinousness of the crime
and to justify their own faith
we were labeled followers of satan for a time
the three of us were attacked and disgraced
for many hours we were questioned and someone lied
one of us couldn't take it
his simple manner was manipulated in time....
fear made him lie....

now i sit here terrified!
can't someone try to bring the truth to light?
won't anybody open up their eyes?
before the three of us have lost our lives!

now i am terrified!
can't someone try to bring the truth to light?
won't anybody open up their eyes?
before the three of us have lose our lives!

can't anybody see through their disguise?!
believe we didn't take their lives!
and now the three of us have lost our lives...

i often wonder why i sit and wait to die
what have i done to justify the sentence they gave?
too many hours spent in darkness questioning...
"how and why"?
