Turn around, open your eyes
Can't move on, the fear is tying you down
Open your eyes, it's all right... OH!

I'm hellhound in this life
Keep fighting this endless war
It's always been like this I don't know why
Enslave- ment of your mind
Your fear it ties me down
Going down, I won't bow... NO!

[Chorus:]
Screaming at the walls of fire
They're closing in on me
I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight
It's where I wanna be
Screaming at the walls of fire
But I'm still running free
In the silver moonlight I can breathe

These days are only now
Breathing in the coldest lies
I think that's only what you have in mind
Holding on to the best of you
I hit the pavement
Going down, I won't bow DOWN!

[Chorus]

I'm impatient but it's colors that I need
Too many shades of grey, I cannot breathe
The dreams I have ain't tainted, I need you to believe,
The only way to make them real

[Chorus]

Turn around, open your eyes
Can't move on, the fear is tying you down
Open your eyes, it's all right

I feel my heart explode to particles.
Love is always here and I told you so.
Restless in dreams love carved in stone
This rhapsody of life in a way
I guess we all know it.

Hand in hand we stand while we watch you flow
Heaven can you help us, where we can't go.

Covered by roses
When this dance is over
We all know all beauty will die.
The choirs have awoken
Left no words unspoken
Remember you as long as I can
Hold you in my arms all night
And spill the wine until the end
We all have our place in time,
Need to live every moment

We built our castles high
Turned our dreams to gold.
We took the blows with pride
Went through it all.
The dawn is closing in
New tales are told

This rhapsody of life
In a way, I guess we all know.

Covered by roses
When this dance is over
We all know all beauty will die.
The choirs have awoken
Left no words unspoken
Remember you as long as I can
Hold you in my arms all night
And spill the wine until the end
We all have our place in time,
Need to live every moment

For all we are is falling stars in the night
A blinding light raging down from the sky
The rise and fall, the rhapsody of our lives
It's all we are and know, we've got to let go

[Spoken:]
She dwells with beauty, beauty that must die.
And joy, whose hand is ever at his lips.
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might
And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

Covered by roses
When this dance is over
We all know all beauty will die.
The choirs have awoken
Left no words unspoken
Remember you as long as I can
Hold you in my arms all night
And spill the wine until the end
We all have our place in time,
Need to live every moment

Waking in the dead of night
Hold onto this life
Running to what's wrong or right
Seems to be a thin line
Fighting for a wasted love
Fighting to survive
Oh won't you please forget
Won't you please forget

These are the dog days
These are the dog days
They'll never go away
These are the dog days
These are the dog days
They'll never go away

1, 2, 3, 4
What are you waiting for?
1, 2, 3, 4
What are you waiting for?
These are the dog days
These are the dog days

Waking in the dead of night
Hold onto this life
Running to what's wrong or right
Seems to be a thin line
Fighting for a wasted love
Fighting to survive
Oh won't you please forget
Won't you please forget

These are the dog days
These are the dog days
They'll never go away
These are the dog days
These are the dog days
They'll never go away

1, 2, 3, 4
What are you waiting for?
1, 2, 3, 4
What are you waiting for?
These are the dog days
These are the dog days

Embracing the heart
To find the loss
Running down a path that
I think i need to know
When you've think you've won
You're still losing after all
These are the dog days
These are the dog days

These are the dog days
These are the dog days
They'll never go away
These are the dog days
These are the dog days
They'll never go away

1, 2, 3, 4
What are you waiting for?
1, 2, 3, 4
What are you waiting for?
These are the dog days
These are the dog days

I've been losing myself in anger
So much broken by the rage.
Nothing could take my mind off,
How to make them pay.

Killing myself for nothing
And the pain won't go away
Losing myself to madness
And the game's been played

If I could turn the hands of time, I would
But here I am

[Chorus:]
Tell me, why am I still here when it's all gone
I'm living with the ghosts of yesterday
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on
I've got to tear it down, to let it go

I'm too tired to keep on trying,
But I'm spellbound till the end.
Knowing that there's no closure
For my wars inside.

I've buried the good and evil,
Only memories left behind
I am the one still standing
I will live to tell

If I could turn the hands of time, I would
But here I am, here I am

[Chorus]

Tell me why I'm wasting away
Tell me how to break my own chains
'Cause I'm losing after all
How can I escape this grim fate
Tell me how to face one more day
'Cause I'm wasting away

It's all gone silent
I'm searching for fire
Nothing to fight for
Alone

Tell me why am I still here when it's all gone
Whoah, living with the ghosts of yesterday

[Chorus]
