for my father and the other dead ones





D' you breathe the name

of your saviour in your hour of need,
And taste the blame

if the flavor should remind you of greed?
Of implication, insinuation and ill will,

'til you cannot lie still,
In all this turmoil,

before red cape and foil

come closing in for a kill

Come feed the rain
'cause I'm thirsty for your love

dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love

my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

It's all a game,

avoiding failure, when true colors will bleed

All in the name

of misbehavior and the things we don't need
I lust for after

no disaster

can touch, touch us anymore
And more than ever,

I hope to never fall,

where enough is not the same it was before

Come feed the rain...
'cause I'm thirsty for your love

dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love

my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause I'm thirsty for your love

dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love

my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me cos I'm the one not laughing
Down here on the floor

Deflate, the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever Imagine
No pretense of decor

Another place and time, without a great divide
And we could be flying deadly high
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

Another place and time, without a warning sign
And we could be dying angel style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

I'll dream you... wide awake

With me, disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cos I can't let you go

Mercy, like water in a desert
Shine through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now

Another place and time...

I'll dream you... wide awake

It's like I'm racing to the sun, blindly face the blazing gun
Cos I'm afraid I will be left here without you
Like I'm racing not to run, give more when I have none
Cos I'm afraid I will be left here without you... wide awake

Another place and time...

I'll dream you... wide awake
