Out of the black, breaking free of the wasteland Out of the mud, crawling up through the quicksand Leaving the dark, coming into the light Don't lay me down, save your last rites 'Cause I'm still standing above ground
Back from the dead alive, hell couldn't hold me Back from the other side, up from the dirt I rise Save your prayers, don't bless my bones, erase my name from my headstone Back from the dead alive, hell couldn't hold me down
On the edge of the world getting lost in oblivion To the devils who tried to keep me living like a prisoner Couldn't chain me down, couldn't cage me in So keep your savior, give me back my sins 'Cause I'm still standing on the ground
Back from the dead alive, hell couldn't hold me Back from the other side, up from the dirt I rise Save your prayers, don't bless my bones, erase my name from my headstone Back from the dead alive, hell couldn't hold me down Down
Back from the dead alive Back from the other side I'm back
I'm back from the dead alive, hell couldn't hold me Back from the other side, up from the dirt I rise Save your prayers, don't bless my bones, erase my name from my headstone Back from the dead alive, hell couldn't hold me down Hell couldn't hold me down Hell couldn't hold me down
An old man by a seashore at the end of day Gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying, making him daydream The time before he became - one of the world's unseen Princess in the tower, children in the fields Life gave him it all: an island of the universe
Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world Anchor to the water, seabed far below Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago
I can see When you stay low nothing happens Does it feel right?
Late at night Things I thought I put behind me Haunt my mind
I just know there's no escape Now once it sets its eyes on you But I won't run, Have to stare it in the eye
Stand my ground, I won't give in No more denying, I've got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside If I don't make it, someone else will Stand my ground
It's all around Getting stronger, coming closer Into my world
I can feel That it's time for me to face it Can I take it?
Though this might just be the ending Of the life I held so dear But I won't run, There's no turning back from here
Stand my ground, I won't give in No more denying, I've got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside If I don't make it, someone else will Stand my ground
All I know for sure is I'm trying I will always stand my ground
Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in) I won't give up (I won't give up) no more denying, I got to face it won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside if I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground, I won't give in no more denying, I got to face it won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside if I don't make it, someone else will stand my ground
I've been here before If you want, go ahead, start a war It's not that I'm brave It's that I would rather die Than for things to stay this way
Losing means nothing If there's nothing to lose
What do you want from me tonight? You wanna burn down everything in sight I'm not afraid of a little fire So light your matches And I will rise from the ashes
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah) From the ashes From the ashes (The ashes, the ashes) So light your matches (The ashes) And I will rise from the ashes
The flames fill my lungs Burning up everything I've become It's not that I'm brave, no It's that I've been here before And I know I'll be okay
Losing means nothin' If there's nothing to lose
What do you want from me tonight? You wanna burn down everything in sight I'm not afraid of a little fire So light your matches And I will rise from the ashes
(Ah, ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah, ah, yeah) From the ashes From the ashes (The ashes, the ashes) So light your matches (The ashes) And I will rise from the ashes
You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the midnight dew I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee He spoke to me in the voice so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet He called my name and my heart stood still When he said, "John go do My will!"
Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
If I should die before I wake It's 'cause you took my breath away Losing you is like living in a world with no air Oh
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave My heart won't move, it's incomplete Wish there was a way that I can make you understand
But how do you expect me to live alone with just me 'Cause my world revolves around you It's so hard for me to breathe
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air Can't live, can't breathe with no air It's how I feel whenever you ain't there It's no air, no air Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gonna be without me If you ain't here, I just can't breathe It's no air, no air
No air, air No air, air No air, air No air, air
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew Right off the ground to float to you There's no gravity to hold me down for real
But somehow I'm still alive inside You took my breath, but I survived I don't know how, but I don't even care
So how do you expect me to live alone with just me 'Cause my world revolves around you It's so hard for me to breathe
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air Can't live, can't breathe with no air It's how I feel whenever you ain't there It's no air, no air Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gonna be without me If you ain't here, I just can't breathe It's no air, no air
No air, air No air, air No air, air No air, air No more It's no air, no air
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air Can't live, can't breathe with no air It's how I feel whenever you ain't there It's no air, no air Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gonna be without me If you ain't here, I just can't breathe It's no air, no air
No air, air No air, air No air, air No air, air
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air Can't live, can't breathe with no air It's how I feel whenever you ain't there It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gonna be without me If you ain't here, I just can't breathe It's no air, no air
Sweet little words made for silence not talk
Young heart for love not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour's never a wasted one
The violin, the poet's hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along
I see it now Becomes so clear Your insincerity And me all starrey-eyed You'd think that I would have known by now
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky This lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
(Only time will tell) One thing is sure That time will tell (Only time will tell) If you were wrong The brightest ring around the moon Will darken when I die
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky This lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky This lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
(Only time will tell) You're on your own Inside your room (Only time will tell) You're claiming victory You were just using me And there is no one you can use now
(Only time will tell) One thing is sure That time will tell...
I don't want you to misunderstand me I just wanna say what's on my mind No need to hit me with an attitude Because I haven't got the time I want you to know one thing's for certain I surely love your company And I won't take no if that's your answer At least that's my philosophy
Stay the night There's room enough here for two Stay the night I'd like to spend it with you Stay the night Why don't we call it a day No one can stop us, nothing is in the way
Have some friendly conversation And if you still don't have a clue Unless there's something else you've got in mind We've got better things to do
Stay the night There's room enough here for two Stay the night I'd like to spend it with you Stay the night Why don't we call it a day No one can stop us, nothing is in the way
Just to have you near me Here by my side Just to have you near me And when I get next to your body Just to have you near me One thing I can tell you, perfectly clear We're gonna have a very good time
Stay the night There's room enough here for two Stay the night I'd like to spend it with you Stay the night Why don't we call it a day No one can stop us and nothing is in the way
No one can stop us and nothing is in the way I don't wanna fight
Stay the night Baby won't you come to stay Stay the night Baby won't you stay the night
No one looked I walked by Just an invitation would have been just fine Said no to him again and again First he took my heart then he ran
No one knows how I feel What I say unless you read between my lines One man walked away from me First he took my hand Take me home
(Stand back, stand back) In the middle of my room I did not hear from you It's alright, it's alright To be standing in a line (Standing in a line) To be standing in a line I would cry
Do not turn away my friend Like a willow I can bend No man calls my name No man came
So I walked on down away from you Maybe your attention was more Than you could do But one man did not call He asked me for my love And that was all
(Stand back, stand back) In the middle of my room I did not hear from you It's alright, it's alright To be standing in a line (Standing in a line) To be standing in a line I would cry
So I walked, walked down the line Away from you Maybe your attention was more Than I could do One man did not fall Well, he asked me for my love That was all
(Stand back, stand back) In the middle of my room I did not hear from you It's alright, it's alright To be standing in a line (Standing in a line) To be standing in a line I could cry I need a little sympathy Well, I need a little sympathy Well, I need to be standing in (Stand back) Well, I need to be standing in (Stand back) Well, I need to be standing in (Stand back) Take me home Take me home (Stand back) Don't you take me home Well, I need a little sympathy (Stand back)...
Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes When the stars in the sky fade into one Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard When the beating of your heart is like a drum But every day I found new ways to hurt you And every day We took our sides
And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding And it's just my soul responding to the love you took from me
Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes When the stars in the sky fade into one Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard When the beating of your heart is like a drum But every day I found new ways to hurt you And every day We took our sides

Eines Tages fällt dir auf Dass du 99% nicht brauchst Du nimmst all den Ballast Und schmeisst ihn weg Denn es reist sich besser mit leichtem Gepäck
Du siehst dich um in deiner Wohnung Siehst ein Kabinett aus Sinnlosigkeiten Siehst das Ergebnis von Kaufen und Kaufen von Dingen Von denen man denkt man würde sie irgendwann brauchen Siehst soviel Klamotten die du Nie getragen hast und die du Nie tragen wirst und trotzdem bleiben sie bei dir
Zu viel Spinnweben und zu viel Kram Zu viel Altlast in Tupperwaren
Und eines Tages fällt dir auf Dass du 99% davon nicht brauchst Du nimmst all den Ballast Und schmeißt ihn weg Denn es reist sich besser mit leichtem Gepäck Mit leichtem Gepäck
Nicht nur ein kleiner Hofstaat aus Plastik auch Die Armee aus Schrott und Neurosen Auf deiner Seele wächst immer mehr Hängt immer öfter Blutsaugend an deiner Kehle Wie Geil die Vorstellung wär Das alles loszuwerden Alles auf einen Haufen Mit Brennpaste und Zunder Und es lodert und brennt so schön Ein Feuer in Kilometern noch zu seh'n
Und eines Tages fällt dir auf Dass du 99% davon nicht brauchst Du nimmst all den Ballast Und schmeißt ihn weg Denn es reist sich besser mit leichtem Gepäck Mit leichtem Gepäck
Ab heut Nur noch die wichtigen Dinge Ab heut Nur noch die wichtigen Dinge Ab heut Nur noch die wichtigen Dinge Ab heut Nur noch leichtes Gepäck
Denn eines Tages Fällt dir auf Es ist wenig was du wirklich brauchst Also nimmst du den Ballast Und schmeißt ihn weg Denn es lebt sich besser So viel besser Mit leichtem Gepäck
All der Dreck von gestern All die Narben All die Rechnungen die viel zu lang offen rumlagen Lass sie los, wirf sie einfach weg Denn es reist sich besser Mit leichtem Gepäck
