"Life Burns!"

We break our enemies with fear
And we've seen how the tears come around
We built our confidence on wasteland
We've seen how the walls come down

Life Burns!

A man dies like a butterfly
Life burns from the touch of the reaper
All things must pass
One love is a crooked lie
The world lies in the hands of evil
And we pray it would last

Life Burns!

We have no sympathy for the lost souls
We've chosen the path of disgrace
We give this life to our children
And teach them to hate this place

A man dies like a butterfly
Life burns from the touch of the reaper
All things must pass
One love is a crooked lie
The world lies in the hands of evil
And we pray it would last

A man dies like a butterfly
Life burns from the touch of the reaper
One love is a crooked lie
The world lies in the hands of evil
The world lies in the hands of evil
The world lies in the hands of evil
The world lies in the hands of evil
The world lies in the hands of evil

A man dies like a butterfly
Life burns from the touch of the reaper
All things must pass
One love is a crooked lie
The world lies in the hands of evil
And we pray it would last

A man dies like a butterfly
Life burns from the touch of the reaper
All things must pass
One love is a crooked lie
The world lies in the hands of evil
And we pray it would last

Life burns!
Life burns!
Life burns!

"Bittersweet"
(feat. Ville Valo & Lauri Ylonen)

[Ville]
I'm giving up the ghost of love
And a shadow is cast on devotion

[Lauri]
She is the one that I adore
Queen of my silent suffocation

[Both]
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

[Ville]
Bittersweet

[Lauri]
I won't give up
I'm possessed by her

[Ville]
I'm bearing a cross
She's turned into my curse

[Both]
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

[Lauri]
Bittersweet

I want you

[Ville]
Oh how I wanted you

[Lauri]
And I need you

[Ville]
Oh how I needed you

[Both]
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

"Betrayal / Forgiveness"

All that I ever wanted
To understand my nightmares
Possessed by my fears
Betrayed by my pride
Alone I wandered in the deepest dark
Seeking comfort from the vanity
Each time I escaped the real
My soul died, died a bit more
Confronting the evil within
Praying for my angel to appear
Agonized whisper into the emptiness
Begging for salvation - salvation for this cursed mind
Words without meaning
Touch without feeling
I do not recognize my own face
Eyes that were once shining
Now extinguished
Left only a silent cold
Sound of a tear falling down
In the desperate hour of loneliness
This shattered heart reaching
For it's relief - the relief it cannot find
Glance without affection
Kiss without sensitivity
Promise without comprehension
Love without hope
I do not remember my own tale
Betrayed by my anger
Betrayed by my delusions
Betrayed by my lust
(I wish)
Strength - to be released from my demons
(I desire)
Wisdom - to forgive the past
To forgive me

"En Vie"

Pourquoi faire autant d'histoires ?
Pour des lendemains qui chantent faux
Pourquoi poser tant de questions ?
Faut-il que l'on soit aussi cons
Ne suffirait-il pas de se voir ?
Un peu plus un peu moins mal
Ne suffirait-il pas de vouloir ?
And the world all gone to war

Réduisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Distillons nos haines
Et buvons à nos souvenir
Buvons pour ne plus mentir
Achevons nous pour le plaisir

Et si un jour, tout refleurit
Que par amour, on reste en vie

Pourquoi laisser faire le hasard
Quand nos rêves perdent la mémoire ?
Faut-il que l'on soit aussi bête ?
C'est l'histoire qui se répète
Ne suffirait-il pas de se voir ?
un peu plus un peu moins mal
Ne suffirait-il pas de vouloir ?
and this world all gone to war

Réduisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Distillons nos haines
Et buvons à nos souvenirs
Réduisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Distillons nos haines
Et buvons pour ne plus se mentir
Buvons à nos souvenirs
Achevons nous pour le plaisir

[English translation]

Why make so much turmoil
For tomorrows that sound fake
Why ask so many questions
Must we be so dumb

Would it not be enough to see each other
A little bit more, a little less bad
Would it not be enough to want
And the world all gone to war

Let's diminish our sorrows
Let's finish ourselves for pleasure
Let's distill our hate
And let's drink to our memories
Let's drink to stop lying
Let's finish for pleasure

And if one day
Everything blooms again
And by love
We remain alive

Why leave things up to chance
When our dreams loose their memory
Must we be so stupid
It's the story that's repeating itself

Would it not be enough to see each other
A little bit more, a little less bad
Would it not be enough to want
And the world all gone to war

Let's diminish our sorrows
Let's finish ourselves for pleasure
Let's distill our hate
And let's drink to our memories

Let's diminish our sorrows
Let's finish ourselves for pleasure
Let's distill our hate
And let's drink to stop lying to ourselves
Let's drink to our memories
Let's finish for pleasure

"How Far"

My life is a circle
No beginning and no end
It's always repeating
A trail I defend to the time

A misunderstanding
That can't be erased like a file
I've got all I wanted
But still I'm not satisfied

How far will I go to and search my respect and my pride
How long will I lie to myself about the privilege of my life
That turns around
'Till I die
And take the dark
With me

Why am I sad
Why am I sad when I have more that I ever had

My life is too stable
I get no air
My jail is my skin
I'm false like a fable
That is being praised
For its sin

Once I am trying
To follow the light then
The bitch grips my feet
Pulls me down, underneath

How far will I go to and search my respect and my pride
How long will I lie to myself about the privilege of my life
How deep will I have to fall before I find the will again
It's always repeating
The earth turns around and around
'Till I die
Take the time
Missing me
With me

"Wie Weit"

Mein Leben dreht sich
So monoton und still
Und zeichnet dabei einen Kreis
Kreis der Ewigkeit

Ich kann dem Gefühl nicht entgehen
Ich sei ein dauerhafter Gast.
Das Gold dieser Welt
Ist nichts wert.
Verbrennt meine Haut.

Wie weit muss ich gehen
Um zu sehen
Dass die Nacht ein Ende sucht
Wie viel muss ich geben
Um zu fühlen?
Bin ich denn verflucht?
Will ich wagen
Ist es gut
Oder bin ich doch verflucht?

Why am I sad?
Why am I sad?
When I have more than I ever had?

Mein Leben ist einsam
Ich bin zu schwach, um aufzustehen
Gestreckt auf dem Boden, wie gelähmt
Der Himmel ist zu schwer

Meine eigenen Regeln sind mein Feind
Wie die Trägheit in mir
Und etwas zu ändern ist so schwer
Ein Krieg den ich verlier

Wie weit muss ich gehen
Um zu sehen
Dass die Nacht ein Ende sucht
Wie viel muss ich geben
Um zu fühlen?
Bin ich denn verflucht?

Wie groß ist die Sehnsucht,
die mich treibt - verlier ich meinen Mut?
Soll ich mich ergeben oder leben?
Das Leben nach der Flut

Will ich wagen
Ist es gut
Oder bin ich doch verflucht?

[English translation]

My life is turning
So monotonously and quietly
Drawing a circle
Circle of eternity

I cannot escape the feeling
I was a permanent guest
The gold of this world
Is worth nothing
Is burning my skin

How far do I have to go
To see
That night is trying to find an end
How much do I have to give
To feel
Am I accursed
Shall I dare it
Is it okay
Or am I yet accursed

Why am I sad
Why am I sad when I have more than I ever had

My life is lonely
I am to weak to get up
Racked on the ground as if I was paralysed
The sky is too heavy

My own rules are my enemy
Like the torpidness in me
And it's so difficult to change something
A war that I loose

How far do I have to go
To see
That night is trying to find an end
How much do I have to give
To feel
Am I accursed
How strong is the longing
Which drives me
Am I loosing my courage
Shall I surrender
Or do I live
The life after the flood
Shall I dare it
Is it okay
Or am I yet accursed

"I'm Not Jesus"
(feat. Corey Taylor)

Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies
Say your prayers and comb your hair
Save your soul tonight

Drift among the faithful
Bury your desires
Aberrations fill your head
You need a place to hide
And I am

Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?

[Chorus:]
When your world's come crashing down
I want to be there.
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
Jesus wasn't there!

You could confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me
Your god ain't looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

No I won't! [2x]

I've thought you were a good man,
I've thought you talked to god.
Your hippocratic messiah and child abusive turned satanic.

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

[Chorus:]
When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
I'm not Jesus,
You can't run away!

And the innocence you spoil
Find a way to live
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus
I will not forgive!

I won't forgive.
I won't be whatever you want to.
[2x]

Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me?

No!

[Chorus:]
When your world's come crashing down,
I want to be there
Your god is looking down on me
I'm not Jesus
Jesus wasn't there!

You could confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me!
Your god is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

Oh, I will not forgive, yeah yeah!
No, I will not forgive!

"Helden"
(feat. Till Lindemann)

Du, könntest Du schwimmen
Wie Delphine, Delphine es tun

Niemand gibt uns eine Chance
Doch können wir siegen,
Für immer und immer

Und wir sind dann Helden
Für einen Tag

Ja...

Ich, ich bin dann König
Und Du, Du Königin

Obwohl sie so unschlagbar scheinen
Werden wir Helden
Für einen Tag

Dann sind wir Helden
Für einen Tag

Ich, ich glaub das zu träumen
Die Mauer im Rücken war kalt

Die Schüsse reißen die Luft
Doch wir küssen, als ob nichts geschieht

Und die Scham fiel auf ihre Seite
Oh wir können sie schlagen für alle Zeiten

Dann sind wir Helden an diesem Tag

Dann sind wir Helden
Dann sind wir Helden

Dann sind wir Helden
Nur diesen Tag

Dann sind wir Helden
Nur diesen Tag

"I Don't Care"
(feat. Adam Gontier & Mats Leven)

I try to make it through my life
In my way
There's you
I try to make it through these lies
And that's all I do

Just don't deny it
Don't try to fight this
And deal with it
And that's just part of it

If you were dead or still alive
I don't care
I don't care
Just go and leave this all behind
Cause I swear (I swear)
I don't care

I try to make you see my side
I always try to stay in line
But your eyes see right through
That's all they do

Getting buried in this place
I got no room you're in my face
Don't say anything
Just go away

If you were dead or still alive
I don't care
I don't care
Just go and leave this all behind
'cause I swear (I swear)
I don't care

[x2]
I'm changing everything
You won't be there for me

If you were dead or still alive,
I don't care,
I don't care,
Just go and leave this all behind
'cause I swear (I swear)
I don't care

If you were dead or still alive,
I don't care
I don't care
And all the things you left behind
I don't care (I swear)
I don't care
At all

"S.O.S. (Anything But Love)"
(feat. Cristina Scabbia & Mats Leven)

Bound to your side and trapped in silence
Just a possession
Is the sex or only violence
That feeds your obsession

You send me to a broken state
Where I can take the pain
Just long enough
That I am numb
That I just disappear

So go on and fight me
Go on and scare me to death
Tell me I asked for it
Tell me I'll never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love

Does it feel good tonight
Hurt me with nothing
Some sort of sick satisfaction
You Get from mind fucking

Oh stripped down to my naked core
The darkest corners of my mind are yours
That's where you live
That's where you breathe

So go on and fight me
Go on and scare me to death
Dare me to leave you
Tell me I'd never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love

Without any faith
Without any light
Condemn me to live
Condemn me to lie
Inside I am dead

So go on and fight me
Go on and scare me to death
I'll be the victim
You'll be the voice in my head
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love

"End Of Me"
(feat. Gavin Rossdale)

Rosaries left under the mattress of the memories who could bear the witness

As you slip into oblivion, use it like a weapon
Am I left to bleed waiting for the moment when you've had your fun
A loaded gun

Take away your broken misery, I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of

Can't resist poisoning the message
Just a narcissist trapped inside the wreckage
And the sympathy I had is gone deadened by the ceremony
Drama queen stand behind your empire as your kingdom falls all because

Take away your broken misery, I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me

Your rescue, my undo
I'm not the one to save you
I'm empty completely
I'm drowning in your shadow

Take away your broken misery, I can't wait to erase your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of

Can't chase away your ghost, inside it only grows
Nothing left but misery
This will be the end of me
All the shit that you created, all the scars you celebrated
Couldn't take away your pain
Couldn't resurrect your gain
This love will be the end of me, this love will be the end.

"Not Strong Enough"
(feat. Brent Smith of Shinedown)

I'm not strong enough to stay away.
Can't run from you
I just run back to you.
Like a moth I'm drawn in to your flame,
Say my name, but it's not the same.
You look in my eyes I'm stripped of my pride.
And my soul surrenders and you bring my heart to its knees.

[Chorus:]
And it's killin' me when you're away, I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
I'm so confused,So hard to choose.
Between the pleasure and the pain.
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind.
And I'm not strong enough to stay away

I'm not strong enough to stay away
What can I do
I would die without you
In your presence my heart knows no shame
I'm not to blame
Cause you bring my heart to its knees

[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do
My heart is chained to you
And I can't get free
Look what this love's done to me

[Chorus]

I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough to stay away
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough to stay away

"Broken Pieces"

Too late - this is not the answer
I need to pack it in
I can't pull your heart together with just my voice alone
A thousand shards of glass I came to meet you in
You cut the peace out of me

And as you ripped it all apart,
That's when I turned to watch you
And as the light in you went dark
I saw you turn to shadow
If you would salvage some part of you that once knew love
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you

oh I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

It's too late now to stop the process
This was your choice - you let it in
This double life you lead is eating you up from within
A thousand shards of glass you pushed beneath my skin
And left me lying there to bleed

And as you showed me your scars
I only held you closer
But as the light in you went dark I saw you turn over
I wanted always to be there for you and close to you
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you

oh I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

The broken pieces
Pack up these broken pieces of me
The broken pieces of
Pack up these broken pieces of me

Maybe without me
You'll return all the beauty I once knew
But if I stay I know,
We will both be drowned by you holding onto me

oh I've gotta turn and run
From the faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

The broken pieces
Pack up these broken pieces of me
The broken pieces of
Pack up these broken pieces of me

"Bring Them To Light"

He's a large and ugly giant monster, headless on my back
This urgent haste in my head
Materialized in this dark whole world
No one can help me there
I know this pain has gone too far
The fear is now so loud

Kill a child I'm trying to protect myself
Against your old controlled hate
Pollution of mind filled all the space and destroyed my light
At least mine were never allowed

The hardest thing for me is
Facing the fear I live
No one can help me now it's under my heart

I'll come to know the living
My demons are inside
I'll bring them all to light

I wanted to hate, I wanted to die
I wanted to see you sacrifice
I had to deal with the fear you gave me
But you fucker never tried to help me
I was jealous and I was scared
Nobody ever replaced my pain
To say I'm not evil, to tell I'm not bad
Too late - I'm lost in human nature.
Leave me be
Set me free
Leave me be
Set me free

The hardest thing for me is
Facing the fear I live
No one can help me now it's under my heart

I'll come to know the living
My demons are inside
I'll bring them all to light

Unexpected yet expected,
Emerged from the dark I come to life
Take everything if you give my horse its head

You know me, your fear me, you know
The hardest thing for me is
Facing the fear I live
No one can help me now it's under my heart

I will come to know the living
My demons are inside
I'll bring them all to light

"Faraway, Vol. 2"
(feat. Linda Sundblad)

There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else

Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return

I don't believe in God
But I'll pray for you

Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love

There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else

Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return

So the light fades out and
you're so close to lose it

Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love

don't you slip away from me

No
Don't leave

"Hope Vol. 2"
(feat. Matthias Sayer)

Hope is beauty
Personified
At her feet, the world
Hypnotized

A million flashes
A million smiles
And on the catwalk
She floats in style

But in this heart of darkness
Our hope lies lost and torn
All flame like love is fleeting
When there's no hope anymore

Pain and glory
Hand in hand
A sacrifice
The highest price

Like the poison in her arm
Like a whisper, she was gone
Like when angels fall

And in this heart of darkness
Our hope lies on the floor
All love like flame is fleeting
When there's no hope anymore

Like the poison in her arm
Like a whisper, she was gone
Like an angel
Angels fall

Like the poison in her arm
Like a whisper, she was gone
Like an angel
Angels fall

Like the poison in her arm
Like a whisper, she was gone
Like an angel
Angels fall

"Path Vol. 2"
(feat. Sandra Nasić)

I want to live in fire
With all the taste I desire
It's all good if you let me dive
With some sharks on the ground

You lose your routine
You lose your routine
You lose your routine
'Cause I found my path

What the hell are you trying?
Now I know there is something more
What happened to you?
Still standing on my path
Are you still denying?
Now I know there is something more
That this is the truth
It's all in you!

What do you come for?
What did you expect to find?
What do you live for?
What did you expect to find?
What do you live for?
What did you expect to find?
What do you live for?
What did you expect to find?

So boundless I feel
And boundless all my fears
Stop running back to old times
Stop running back to old times

You lose your routine...
'Cause I found my path

What the hell are you trying?
Now I know there is something more
What happened to you?
Still standing on my path
Are you still denying?
Now I know there is something more
That this is the truth
It's all in you!

"Repressed"

I travelled the way that you showed me
Left all my sorrow behind
I'm living with rules you once told me
Expecting myself to be fine

So why the fuck am I lonely
There's no one inside I can call
To give up the fight is a warning
That one day to stand you will fall

I left my sorrow behind
(Você/ Precisa / Direção)
Warning not to give up the fight
(Me diga a verdade / Proteção)

Your words that gave me direction
Helped me turn into what I thought I wanted
Fists that gave me protection
Helped me deal with you
So for now our days are through

Nothing left
Nothing rests
Nothing grasp

You declared what your faith is
But you still have the fear
The way you've left your life open
Will no bring your destiny here
Do I continue my journey
Confusion is wrapped in my mind
So when your gone with your martyr
You can continue your lies

"Seemann"
(originally by Rammstein)
(feat. Nina Hagen)

Komm in mein Boot
ein Sturm kommt auf
und es wird Nacht

Wo willst du hin
so ganz allein
treibst du davon

Wer hält deine Hand
wenn es dich
nach unten zieht

Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
mit Tränen im Gesicht
das Tageslicht fällt auf die Seite
der Herbstwind fegt die Straße leer

Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
mit Tränen im Gesicht
das Abendlicht verjagt die Schatten
die Zeit steht still und es wird Herbst

Komm in mein Boot
die Sehnsucht wird
der Steuermann

Komm in mein Boot
der beste Seemann
war doch ich

Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
mit Tränen im Gesicht
das Feuer nimmst du von der Kerze
die Zeit steht still und es wird Herbst

Sie sprachen nur von deiner Mutter
so gnadenlos ist nur die Nacht
am Ende bleib ich doch alleine
die Zeit steht still
und mir ist kalt
