lyrics

With winds of sin thrown at my sails
Do you really want to know what makes me smile?
Does the reaper grin because he is close?
Or because he has turned the dial?

Will you force a deeper line
To fill some inside hollow?
In the end it doesn't matter
Because I will not follow

Everything pleasant in life is dangerous
No one dies a virgin
Life fucks us all

By will I have returned
And I've chosen my way
It burns so bad that it feels good
But at least I picked my pain

In this race against time
I'm told to live is to fight
But I would rather land upon my sword
Than fight for what is right

In my mind, we all live in heaven
Or we choose to live in hell
In this world of make believe feelings
I can hide behind what is real...what is real

I've always looked for the perfect life
I've taken all the paths to roam
But no matter the distance
I still end up coming home

You can't drag me down to a place
That is living deep within
You can't call my kettle black
or be already what has been

Love plans for tomorrow
And loneliness thinks of yesterday
Because life is beautiful
And living is pain

How can the rest live in silence?
And how can there be peace?
To those with voice opinions
Offense - A constant release

Between the sheaves of ashen white
The solitary lass kneels
She begs the sickle to which she binds
Only to feel

She draws deep breath and asks of death
Who will start this dance?
To which he kindly replies...
Just give me a chance
