We died and we paid
For all the lies you said
You made us live in hell
When peace was in your hands
Princes, lords and kings
Riding silver wings
Sharing’s a word you abhor
Like our children you’ve ignored
All that time, all that time, all that time
Soon you will lay
Beside a million graves
And so many women and men
Will stare at you again
Empires you have built
For your own chidren will
Finally collapse one day
It’s gonna take time, it’s gonna take
All that time, all that time, all that time…
Give me an explanation
If you think you can
This long snake’s invitation
Is burning in my hand
It slowly slips inside
Nibbling everything I am
It so quietly creeps at night
In a way I cannot understand
And this is not a choice
It’s not something you decide
Now I’m haunted by your voice
And it sounds like it was mine
Would it be my fault
If a monster eats my mind
This is not a choice
How could I know if it’s mine
I need an explanation
If you think I’m sane
This long snake’s invitation
Is burning down my brain
And this is not a choice
It’s not something you decide
Now I’m haunted by your voice
And it sounds like it was mine
Would it be my fault
If a monster eats my mind
This is a not choice
How could I know if it’s mine
Give me an explanation
If you think you can
This long snake’s invitation
Is burning in my hand
We've come so far
We've followed the star
Harod heard
Said "Bring me word"
Take the long way around the sea
Here for us
A humble birth
The son of God,
Descends to earth
Take the long way around the sea
On Christmas day
On bended knee
Please accept
The gifts we bring
Take the long way around the sea
We turn to go
An angel shone
Said "Don't go back
To Harod's throne"
Take the long way around the sea
And you call and you feel like you're falling
And you call and you just hear nothing
And you call and it has no meaning
And you call and your hope is a shelter
And you call and you feel like you never
Met the cold, met the storm and the fever
You've been digging seas and tried on your own
To exile your fears as far as I'd go
As far as I should go
And the chalk, and the chalk writes letters
And the coal, and the coal makes them hazier
When your soul tries to read them better
And you call and you feel like you're falling
And you call and you just hear nothing
And you call and it has no meaning
You've been digging seas and tried on your own
To exile your fears as far as I'd go
As far as I should go
Boy O boy
In your nice new uniform
Soon you’ll be sent far from your home
Man, your friends will be killed
And your innocence will fade with them
This will feed your revenge
Your revenge
Boy you’re not
The monster people say you are
No, no, circumstances made you so
Boy you miss your home
And your mother but a born-killer is born
And this is how you’ll grow
How you’ll grow
This is the logic of war
And the most cynical souls
Think it has to happen
Just like wind has to blow
Boy O boy
Soon they’ll bring you home
A flag over your face, you’ll be back home
Home, home, home…
O my Lord
Is it what
You want to see
People on their knees
O my Lord
Is it how
You want us to be
Shadows dragging sins
O my lord
Holly mind
Holly swords
Made you blind
We all pray when you cheat
But you hate the way we sing
O my Lord
Aren’t we
Seeds you have sown
And soon will mow
O my lord
Holly mind
Holly swords
Made you blind
We all pray when you cheat
But you hate the way we sing
I'll forsake
Nothing
I'll escape
Forever
I'll forgo
Let myself
Go
Forever
I'll forsake
Nothing
I'll escape
Forever
I'll forgo
Let myself
Go
Forever
I'll desert
One day
I'll desert
Forever
You’re my lover, my bigest ennemy
Sweet brain killer, my liquid therapy
You’re my lover, mental sleep
Black out maker, forgiven memory
You’re my grave and I’m diging
Like a slave who’s obeying
You made me promises that you kept
Your dream oasis is driving me mad
You made me promises that you kept
Your dream oasis is driving me mad
O my lover, my worst friend
Addictions owner I can’t stand
O my lover, days are drawing in
And the nights are drawing out
You’re my grave and I’m diging
Like a slave who’s obeying
You made me promises that you kept
Your beautiful oasis is driving me mad
You made me promises that you kept
Your beautiful oasis is driving me mad
Mighty scream
Heady road
Ceaseless beat
Endless song
Hazy dream
Holly smoke
Burning tear
Full of hope
You can breath
I can sow
Can’t you see
We’re so close
Wild and free
Silence howls
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to me
