I pay my dues
All for truth
Can't leave it here and leave it here
And leave it here forgotten
Silence rules
Spineless fools
You'll never learn, never learn
Never learn to break away

Oh, why can't we rise again?

When all the days go by the firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame
We are like fire to the rain

Isn't it strange that love is in the way?
It never goes away (never goes away)

I paid my dues (my dues, my dues)
All for truce
I leave it here, leave it here
Leave it here forgotten
Life, it rules
Over truth
We'll never learn, never learn
Never learn to break away

Oh, why can't we rise again?

When all the days go by the firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame
We are like fire to the rain

Isn't it strange that love is in the way?
Isn't it strange that love is in the way?

When all the days go by the firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame
We are like fire to the rain

Isn't strange that love is in the way?
It never goes away
Away

Can't control the restless part of me
Bowing down our heads to love and greed
I wonder
Can't deny, it's in my head
A world in flames, the blood we shed

Walls are falling down on us

We wanna scream our pain
And break away from the dark
Caught in this wicked game
We know that nothing stays the same
'Cause we're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world

Trying to hold on to all we know
But one day turn around and let it go
Restless
Can't deny the dreams we had
Are glowing sparks, the fire ain't dead

Walls are falling down on us

We wanna scream our pain
And break away from the dark
Caught in this wicked game
We know that nothing stays the same
'Cause we're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world

We hate, we love, we're fighting
This world is tearing us apart
And piece by piece we're crumbling
We're crumbling

We wanna scream our pain
And break away from the dark
Caught in this wicked game
We know that nothing stays the same
'Cause we're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world

We are forever as one in what remains
You're in my blood from the cradle to the grave
I don't like to think about the pieces
Or the cracks and the breaks that still remain
If I could breathe, I'd ask you

So look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I'm not ready to let you go

My heart like a planet the sun forgot
Where now? Orbiting the light that I had lost
More than words is silence teaches
How to see and to feel what is real
When sunlight reaches my soul?

So look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go

It's a wicked game life plays
How it gives and takes away
No turning 'round, touching ground
What we had was so much more than I realized
If I could, I'd embrace, embrace you

And look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I'm not ready to let you go

Breathe, I need to breathe
And wipe off the scarlet red
Make my heart slow down
I know I will find you here

You are trophy hunting
Kill for nothing
Tired of watching
Turning tables

I can't let go
I'll set them free from you
(I won't give in)

You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep
In this final moment, no words left to say
I can't let you be when life fades away
You, you won't escape me cause I'll set you free

Time, I need more time
But patience is hard for me
Feel my blood rushing
Slowly I'm closing in

Trophy hunting
Kill for nothing
Tired of watching
Turning tables

I can't let go
I set them free from you
(I won't give in)

You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep
In this final moment, no words left to say
I can't let you be when life fades away
You, you won't escape me cause I'll set you free

In the end we got our own way when time comes no one can stay
Why is nothing ever easy and the truth is never straight
Slowly learning how to be me
All alone but I can see
That I never will give in, no always free

You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep
In this final moment, no words left to say
I can't let you be when life fades away
You, you won't escape me cause I'll set you free
