[00:25.51]
[00:26.50]The end.
[00:33.00]The songwriter`s dead.
[00:39.00]The blade fell upon him
[00:45.00]Taking him to the white lands
[00:52.00]Of Empathica
[00:59.00]Of Innocence

[01:12.00]Innocence

[01:58.00]”HOME”
[01:59.30]
[02:00.30]The dreamer and the wine
[02:03.30]Poet without a rhyme
[02:07.30]A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell
[02:13.50]One last perfect verse
[02:16.00]Is still the same old song
[02:20.20]Oh Christ how I hate what I have become
[02:28.00]Take me home
[02:32.50]Getaway, runaway, fly away
[02:35.00]Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
[02:38.00]I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[02:42.00]I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
[02:45.00]Forgive me
[02:46.00]I have but two faces
[02:48.00]One for the world
[02:50.00]One for God
[02:51.10]Save me
[02:52.00]I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[02:55.00]I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
[03:12.00]
[03:13.00]My home was there `n then
[03:16.00]Those meadows of heaven
[03:20.00]Adventure-filled days
[03:22.30]One with every smiling face
[03:26.00]Please, no more words
[03:29.00]Thoughts from a severed head
[03:33.00]No more praise
[03:35.00]Tell me once my heart goes right
[03:40.00]Take me home
[03:45.00]Getaway, runaway, fly away
[03:48.00]Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
[03:51.00]I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[03:55.00]I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
[03:58.00]Forgive me
[03:59.00]I have but two faces
[04:01.00]One for the world
[04:03.00]One for God
[04:04.00]Save me
[04:04.50]I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[04:08.00]I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

[04:47.00]”THE PACIFIC”
[04:48.00]
[04:49.00]Sparkle my scenery
[04:57.00]With turquoise waterfall
[05:01.00]With beauty underneath
[05:05.50]The Ever Free
[05:10.00]Tuck me in beneath the blue
[05:18.00]Beneath the pain, beneath the rain
[05:27.00]Goodnight kiss for a child in time
[05:36.40]Swaying blade my lullaby
[05:50.00]
[05:51.00]On the shore we sat and hoped
[05:59.00]Under the same pale moon
[06:03.00]Whose guiding light chose you
[06:07.00]Chose you all
[06:31.00]
[06:32.00]” I`m afraid. I`m so afraid.
[06:34.00]Being raped again, and again, and again
[06:37.00]I know I will die alone.
[06:38.20]But loved.
[06:39.00]
[06:40.00]You live long enough to hear the sound of guns,
[06:42.00]long enough to find yourself screaming every night,
[06:46.00]long enough to see your friends betray you.
[06:49.00]
[06:50.00]For years I`ve been strapped unto this altar.
[06:52.00]Now I only have 3 minutes and counting.
[06:56.00]I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for ”.

[08:05.00]”DARK PASSION PLAY”
[08:06.00]
[08:07.00]2nd robber to the right of Christ
[08:11.00]Cut in half - infanticide
[08:14.00]The world will rejoice today
[08:16.00]As the crows feast on the rotting poet
[08:33.00]
[08:34.00]Everyone must bury their own
[08:37.00]No pack to bury the heart of stone
[08:40.00]Now he`s home in hell, serves him well
[08:43.00]Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell
[08:46.00]
[08:47.00]The morning dawned, upon his altar
[08:50.00]Remains of the dark passion play
[08:53.00]Performed by his friends without shame
[08:57.00]Spitting on his grave as they came
[09:00.00]Getaway, runaway, fly away
[09:03.00]Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
[09:06.00]I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[09:09.00]I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
[09:14.00]Forgive me
[09:15.00]I have but two faces
[09:16.00]One for the world
[09:18.00]One for God
[09:19.00]Save me
[09:20.00]I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[09:23.00]I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
[09:33.00]
[09:34.00]Today, in the year of our Lord 2005,
[09:37.00]Tuomas was called from the cares of the world.
[09:40.00]He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day.
[09:44.00]The music he wrote had too long been without silence.
[09:48.00]He was found naked and dead,
[09:50.00]With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.”
[09:56.00]Save me
[09:57.00]
[11:03.00]”MOTHER & FATHER”
[11:03.50]
[11:04.00]Be still, my son
[11:10.00]You`re home
[11:19.00]Oh when did you become so cold?
[11:31.00]The blade will keep on descending
[11:44.00]All you need is to feel my love
[11:51.00]
[11:58.30]Search for beauty, find your shore
[12:10.00]Try to save them all, bleed no more
[12:24.00]You have such oceans within
[12:37.00]In the end
[12:39.00]I will always love you
[12:46.00]
[12:58.00]The beginning.
