do it right
for no reason
hold on tight
in any season
and you know we'll be ok
underfoot there in the fray
and you know we never flee
rather die than to be weak
out of sight
into eden
sweet delight
out of reason
and you know we'll be ok
underfoot there in the fray
and you know we'd better run
but oh we'd miss the fun
you'll be on my mind
safely on the ground
bring it back
to emotion
thinking back
in blind devotion
and you know we'll be ok
underfoot there in the fray
and the only way to thrive
is to keep our hopes alive
you'll be on my mind
safely on the ground
living out of time
loving undefined
you take off your coat
and hang it on the wall
tear off your blouse
and look into the cold
long as you run
you just can't be home
you rip off the skin
and show it to your love
cut out the heart
and feed it to your god
long as you run
you just can't be home
will you ever stop?
when will you open up?
you take off the weight
and then you realise
there's nothing left to hate
nothing to despise
long as you run
you just can't be home
will you ever stop?
when will you open up?
the lake is singing
young hearts are willing
the lake is singing, tonight
the lake is haunted
wild hearts are wanted
the lake is haunted by your love
where do you go
when the sun doesn't show
and the mountains are rising up to the sky?
where does it hurt
when life's becoming blurred
and the madness has been going on for so long?
hold on
the lake is singing
young hearts are clinging
the lake is wanted by your love
young hearts burn out of doubt
new lives are handed out
wild hearts are shaken by your blood
where do you go
when the sun doesn't show
and the mountains are rising up to the sky?
where does it hurt
when life's becoming blurred
and the madness has been going on for so long?
hold on
and would you long with me, for solid ground?
and would like to see, life unwind?
and would you long with me, for solid ground?
beware of gold
unspoiled, unsold
god leaves no soul behind
but leaves no trace in the mind
lay bare your doubts
let go, back out
god leaves no soul behind
but leaves no trace in the mind
where love runs deep
where oceans meet
where minds get to sleep
where no one needs to find
some will lose, some will win
the reapers grin
what goes 'round comes around
what's lost can not be found
where love runs deep
where oceans meet
where minds get to sleep
where no one needs to find
oh when you know we'll be alright
that's when you gain without a fight
oh when you're open to the tides
where love runs deep
where oceans meet
where minds finally get to sleep
where no one needs to find
where no one even tries
oh my love
we're longing for the stars above
we're longing for a trace of love
knowing that it's not enough
oh my love
we're hoping for the storm to fade
before the trees will bend and break
until our hearts are born awake
oh my love
where will it hurt when things get rough?
when will we know it's not enough to just bury what's been lost?
oh my love
we're waiting for the world to shake
waiting for our swords to break
waiting for our hearts to awake
oh my love
where will it hurt when things get rough?
when will we know it's not enough to just bury what's been lost?
oh my love
it's not enough to speak out loud
not enough to feed the crowd with stories of their own
and we all bow down
to the queen that lost her crown
and we all gave in
are you ready
to face the mountain?
are you ready
to go within?
are you ready
to hear the sirens?
we're right where we belong
are you ready
to go down laughing?
are you ready
to lose your cross?
are you ready
to give up trying?
we're right where we belong
you wanted to get high
madly sweep the sky
so you want to try
are you ready?
are you ready now?
are you willing
to be with nothing?
are you willing
to drop your guns?
are you willing
beneath the ire?
you're right where you belong
you wanted to get high
madly sweep the sky
so you want to fly
are you ready?
are you ready now?
you wanted to defy
but settled for the lie
so you want to try
are you ready?
are you ready now?
since you came
i got a lot to give
since you came
i got a lot to forgive
since you're here
i found a way to believe
since you came
i found a way to grieve
since you came
i got a life to unfold
since you came
i got a story untold
since you're home
i found a place of my own
since you came
feel like a rolling stone
this city's gonna burn
it's hard to give
but it's easy to adapt
it's hard to leave
and it's easy to regret
in my mind i'm colorblind
and i whisper what i find
this city's gonna burn
what you see
is what you wanted to get
what you fear
is what you never met
in my mind
i'm colorblind
it's hard to see
but it's what i find
and i whisper to my mind
this city's gonna burn
will you call me?
you will be the one to throw the dice
will you call me?
i will be the one to compromise
will you call me?
i know it won't take long you'll be concise
will you call me?
i know your voice will sound as cold as ice
curtains falling
time to leave the capsule if we dare
curtains falling
time to go outside and breath the air
life is calling
takes you for a ride down the drain
life is calling
makes you wonder why
now you take me out for a death ride
trying to hit it harder well we all might
hoping to discover how we both got started
take me in
common'
days of sorrow
you will be the one to throw the dice
days of sorrow
i will be the one to compromise
days of sorrow
wonder where you'll take me when she's gone
days of sorrow
i know i'm not alone
now you take me out for a death ride
trying to hit it harder well we all might
hoping to discover how we both got started
take me in
common'
wake me when it's done
wake me with the sun
wake me when the water flows
wake me when it's real
back to where we feel
wake me when the fire wanes
wake me when it's done
when you and i are one
wake me when our minds are worn out
wake me when it's time
for always to remind
remind me of our silent call

This is about love
As a constant undercurrent in our lives
That connects and binds
Makes us realise we're one
It's here
And always has been
