Deadlock The Arsonist 1. The Great Pretender "Once born in the arms of god But only to surrender To something greater than us To a great pretender! When you are walking- where do you go? What is there to get? What is there to know? When you are walking- where do you go? What is there to get? What is there to know? I will follow! Once born in the arms of god I ran into the storm Into the hopeless sea engullfed All visions broken, dropped and torn We will prevail - They're blessed to fail! When you are walking- where do you go? What is there to get? What is there to know? When you are walking- where do you go? What is there to get? What is there to know? I will follow! We will never surrender to your great pretender We will prevail - They're blessed to fail We will prevail - Pretenders - They're blessed to fail When you are walking- where do you go? What is there to get? What is there to know? When you are walking- where do you go? What is there to get? I will follow! When you are walking- where do you go? What is there to get? What is there to know? When you are walking- where do you go? What is there to get? I will follow I will follow" 2. I'm Gone "Today we don't have dreams to chase - Just a promise The hope is written in my face - I am gone... The wish for better days - erased by memories And buried under the soil A promise in your blood, but nothings gonna change There comes a point you'll realize Today we don't have dreams to chase - Just a promise The hope is written in my face - I am gone without a trace! Too far - No eyes could see - a world in crushed dreams It's touching me from inside.... A promise in your head, but nothings gonna change There comes a point you'll realize! Today we don't have dreams to chase - Just a promise The hope is written in my face - I am gone without a trace! A promise of a better place - forgotten dreams, forgotten past! Times we've had were numbered days - in the end yesterdays wont last Open your eyes just to make clear - no tears will blind your sight.. I apologize! Today we don't have dreams to chase - Just a promise The hope is written in my face - I am gone... Today we don't have dreams to chase - Just a promise The hope is written in my face - I am gone without a trace! Just a promise! Just a promise! Just a promise! Just a promise! Just a promise! Just a promise! Just a promise!" 3. Dead City Sleepers We are sleepers in dead cities This is what remains of our innocence I die, I die a hundred times a day Why has fate forsaken me? Why has God forsaken me? Only a broken lullaby Dead city sleepers Still taunts me Through a sleepless night Dead city sleepers We are persecutors in pale shells Who hide demons beneath their skins We have planted dead and dying trees Tell me why has God forsaken me I died a hundred times No more tears to cry It's true that I'm caught in a lie You ignored my cries Only a broken lullaby Dead city sleepers Still taunts me Through a sleepless night Dead city sleepers I died a hundred times No more tears to cry It's true that I'm caught in a lie You ignored my cries Only a broken lullaby Still taunts me Through a sleepless night Only a broken lullaby Dead city sleepers Still taunts me Through a sleepless night Dead city sleepers Oh through a sleepless night 4. The Arsonist "Fire! [12x] The Arsonist! [2x] No consolation - no you won't fail Generations to be impaled The order of old is non-existent Is this death worth living for? What will remain - my dearest desire - is fire [4x] The earth will turn to a funeral pyre - fire! [4x] The aronist! [2x] In dry rivers man seeks to drown Keep desires, faith carves in stone Now seek out, cut down the demon's curse In vain... We perish with the earth! Now! They die by words of fire... Now! And this is what remains Fire! [4x] What will remain - my dearest desire - is fire [4x] The earth will turn to a funeral pyre - fire! [4x] The Arsonist! [4x]" 5. Darkness Divine I will lead you through a darkness divine There is no light under a blood-red sky ...Take control of your world! We are cursed Born in never-ending ignorance We are cursed Seduced by words of sweet bitterness There's no solace without a sacrifice Ancient, diseased winds are going to rise ...Take control of this hell! We are cursed Born in never-ending ignorance We are cursed Seduced by words of sweet bitterness Baptized in flames Swim through the mire to come back as a new man Atone for sins - a sacrifice of a heretic Swim through the mire - break your empty visions You won't find solace! No you won't find solace! ...Take control of your world! We are cursed Born in never-ending ignorance We are cursed Seduced by words of sweet bitterness Baptized in flames! 6. As We Come Undone Today we let the curtain rise Generation occupied - Welcome to your empty lives Led astray with blinded eyes No more utter solitude - Oppressive enough to escape your fate We come undone We burn away the path we're on All hope is gone - as we come undone While the great nations sleep Idealists? Pacifists? Anarchists? Hypocrites! Non-believers - starry-eyed Drifted hope - comatose - social values - over-dosed Gone astray with blinded minds No more utter solitude - Oppressive enough to escape your fate We come undone We burn away the path we're on All hope is gone - as we come undone While the great nations sleep We die in slumber - escape We die in slumber - from fate We come undone As we burn away the path we're on All hope is gone.. We come undone As we burn away the path we're on All hope is gone - as we come undone While the great nations sleep 7. Hurt Pulling me under the water Where human glory disappears Escaping this life seems so easy But I fear a thousand fears Down to the bottom sand Fragile life comes to end Sailing in the sea of tears Sorrow - I owe you everything Sailing in the sea of tears I can feel the hurt again Guided by whispering voices I feel the silence everywhere Like memories from my past Why should I live in a world where nothing lasts? Down to the bottom sand Fragile life comes to end Sailing in the sea of tears Sorrow - I owe you everything Sailing in the sea of tears I can feel the hurt again Old thoughts are running through my head Can I release myself from chains Will I ever forgive myself Sailing in the sea of tears Sorrow - I owe you everything Sailing in the sea of tears I can feel the hurt again! Oh I can feel... Oh I can feel... I can feel the hurt again! Oh I can feel... Oh I can feel... I can feel the hurt again! 8. The Final Storm Now what's left of our so-called revolution? Never more following the glorified policy of needless waste By adding fuel to the fire - will we ever brave that storm? A new aeon rises We are here to stay May my voice be the storm.. We are the storm Unceasing acts of excess forced mankind to creep into the depths Now what's left of our so-called revolution? We are no longer - obedient slaves We are no longer - needless waste What are we now? We are the change! A new aeon rises We are here to stay May my voice be the storm.. We are the storm Does it hurt see your bridges burn? We're the storm before the final calm... We are the storm! May my voice be the storm.. We are the storm! 9. Small Town Boy [originally by Bronski Beat]You leave in the morning With everything you own In a little black case Alone on a platform The wind and the rain On a sad and lonely face Mother will never understand Why you had to leave But the answers you seek Will never be found at home The love that you need Will never be found at home Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away. Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away. Pushed around and kicked around Always a lonely boy You were the one That they'd talk about around town As they put you down And as hard as they would try They'd hurt to make you cry But you never cried to them Just to your soul No you never cried to them Just to your soul Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away. Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away. Cry , boy, cry... 10. My Pain Night fades to day And days fade to darkness Please, let me out of here I'm trapped in nothingness Seems like this time is right to dry all of the tears - That I have cried But I'm too weak - I feel so numb and isolated from everyone A single tear escapes my eye - I cure my pain with a razor blade Days have passed - Years gone by - Dreams torn apart My cheating mind attempts to kill my aching heart Seems like this time is right to dry all of the tears - That I have cried But I'm too weak - I feel so numb and isolated from everyone A single tear escapes my eye - I cure my pain with a razor blade I cure my pain with a razor blade! Seems like this time is right to dry all of the tears - That I have cried But I'm too weak - I feel so numb and isolated from everyone... Seems like this time is right to dry all of the tears - That I have cried But I'm too weak - I feel so numb and isolated from everyone A single tear escapes my eye - I cure my pain with a razor blade! 11.
