Альбом The Horrors

is it her way
is it the way she looks at you
seeing her face
as you walk through the crowded avenue
that sets you afire
remembering all you left behind
don't fall back in line
better you let her memory die

draw strength
walk on into the night
better you try to pass her by
walk on into the night

is it too late
or are you forever in this state of crippling shyness
whenever you see her walking by

three decades in Canada and now you plan
to leave your home and lead a life more valiant

feather-white she occupies the virgin berth
climb to her as if there were no barries

don't give up, stand tall, this is your hour
full of joy the boy within must try

forget your regrets

cavernous imagery grips your mind
don't let fear dictate your life

forget your regrets

don't lose your purpose, this is your hour
feather-white before your hand she lies
don't give up, stand tall, this is your hour
three decades and now you lead your life

I never meant for you to get hurt,
And how I tried,
Oh how I tried.

I could never give you just what you deserved,
Another man, would surely learn.

I know these words, they only serve to twist the knife,
but I will try, to make them heard.
Maybe it's better now I've gone away,
Maybe it's not,
Oh who can say.

And though it's hard, for me to say,
I know you're better off this way.

And when I told her I didn't love her anymore,
She cried.
And when I told her, her kisses were not like before,
She cried.
And when I told her another girl had caught my eye,
She cried.
And I kissed her, with a kiss that could only mean goodbye.

And though it's hard, for me to say,
Maybe you're better off this way.
And though it's hard, for me to say,
I know you're better off this way.

Get away,
Get away,
Get away,
Get away,
Get away,
Get away.

say to her
can you remember
the first time we met
don't you remember the first caress

waiting there
standing alone
on the corner of the night
can you remember the first time

but if you wait,
i will open to you,i will be with you
and if you wait
i will cross the ocean
i will be with you soon

say to her
can you remember
the night that you left
scanning the crowd
out in the square

but if you wait
i will take your hand
and you'll understand
and if you wait,
i will be with you soon,
I'll cross the ocean blue

do you remember,do you remember

and if you wait,
i will come the night
and I'll be by your side
and if you wait
i will be with you
i will cross the ocean
tell me do you remember,
tell me do you remember
if you don't remember,
you will remember soon

the agony
and the harms is critical
through a frosted stopwatch
time is ticking
tick tick tick tick dead
a new ice age
closer day by day
will freeze
the ice wings are swooping down

there'll never be a new ice age
like this one
how we need it now
ice will make a thousand sculptures
and ice will spit them out

ice hits the medicine counter
ice knock the sniper down
ice spoils the cocoa powder
ascends to the frozen crown
c-c-c-c-c
the saturation
the agony

there'll never be e new ice age
like this one
minds on the sleeper train
ice will make a thousand sculptures
and ice will spit them out

ice-spit-out
ice-spit-out
ice shocks a sleeping system
ice hits the dead-beat bar
ice hits the faceless enemies
ice strikes the cowering clowns
c-c-c-c-c

a new ice age
the coldest days
will come
welcome to the ice age
there'll never be a new ice age
like this one
how we need it now
ice will make a swooping kill
and ice will spit it out

as the summer fades away
you'll lead me to the garden
passing the lovers
swooning in the autumn

see yourself, your image in the eyes of someone else
see yourself, your fears as they appear to someone else

when the sun sets
on dark silhouettes
collapse into dream

as summer fades away
laugh at my reflection
passed to a lover
seeking your affection

though i know you won't be here for long

It's a lonely planet now
It's a long long way around
It's a hollow hollow day
it's a long long long long way,
way down

"?"
Lying in false paradise
I found you on your side
Way down

Don't go,
cause you know I will follow
You know
if I lose you i'll go mad

It's a long long long long long long lonely calming down
It's a long long long long long long lonely calming down

As the flames wash around me
I only think of you
I only want to save you
But I don't know what I can do

To the end i will defend you
Heaven might suspend you
I only want to save you
I only want the truth

It's a lonely planet now
It's a long long way around
It's a hollow hollow day
it's a long long long long way,
way down

"?"
Lying in false paradise
I found you on your side
Way down

Don't go,
cause you know I will follow
You know
if I lose you I'll go mad

It's a long long long long long long lonely calming down
It's a long long long long long long lonely calming down

Don't ask
cause you knew this could never last
you were always going too far
you were always going too far

It's a long long long long long long lonely calming down
It's a long long long long long long lonely calming down

Til death I will defend you
My life I will protect you
Although I'm gonna save you
I'll do all I can do

across the pathless sands
through jungle, blind, i run
no guide taken in hand
and no idea where to turn

no sanctuary found
i tear myself in two
i pray for scarlet fields to save me
whole and white and pure

i can't control myself
lend one of your hands because i
i can't control myself

i dream of lost desires
fingers run through fur
i drive myself insane
the rain cascades onto the dirt

and in the throes of love
where the shadows burst in flames
i cast myself abandoned
with a cry i call your name

i can't control myself
i try and i try but i
i can't control myself

i can't control myself
lend one of your hands because i
i can't control myself
or hold myself in though i try
i can't control myself
deliver me from the fire because i
i can't control myself

praise him for his character has no defects
a shining example, and one to rely on,
the newest messiah rolled into one
cover his shoulders in primary colors
in primary colors

but as he falls asleep
the colored lights will keep
unwanted vigil over
where he is
he doesn't know where he is

demands of a million, now everyone needs him
sycophants send him to the edge of reason
everyone knows him, he knows himself better
haunted by alpha, he fears that they'll leave him
in primary colors

our pack leader will confront his fears
through new kings are born, he'll stay on his throne
riding through town on a chariot high
glory adorned and immortalized in primary colors
in primary colors

Sea Within a Sea
Some say we walk alone
Barefoot on wicked stone no light
and sanctuary found never waits around awhile

Marching to the sea
their dreams stay in the shadows
their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows
See the scraping sky
See my destination there tonight

So say I walk alone barefoot
on wicked stone tonight
Will you leap to follow
Will you turn and go
Will your dreams stay rooted in the shallows

See the scraping sky
Far beyond the shallows
Far beyond the reaches of the shadows

Though youth may fade with boyhoodґs cares
New fear will catch us unawares
I know it will

So you might say
the path we share is one of danger
and of fear
until the end
