ASKA LYRICS

1. Longships

Things are often twisted,
a darker shade of black
Why do lovers vow their faith
then stab you in the back?
There right now they're smiling,
exchanging friendly talk
While in secret he's made plans
to meet around the black

And they will break you down
Humiliate you again

What happens when you find
out what they're done to you?
accusations handed out,
"Look what you made me do!"
So you play the hurt one
just to have her stay
sacrificing pride for something
you've lost anyway

As they lie naked
Lost something sacred

Once again I wish I could be
like the Vikings were before me
giant men of mirth
braving cold and ocean spray
They burned away their past loves
with high flames that licked the heavens
and sailed of the setting sun
bringing death to all in their way

They sailed away on their
Viking LONGSHIPS
Wish I could be on those
Viking LONGSHIPS

You think about that
trust you lost forever
and you consider what
if anything was real
while they wonder if you'll let
if st slide or if you'll settle scores
that help resolve this
mess that you now feel

Once again I wish I could be
like the Vikings were before me
giant men of mirth
braving cold and ocean spray
They burned away their past loves
with high flames that licked the heavens
and sailed of the setting sun
bringing death to all in their way
never to be seen again

They sailed away on their
Viking LONGSHIPS
Wish I could be on those
Viking LONGSHIPS

3. Her Ghost: Remains

There she stood with her eyes in tears,
asked me to stay but I was far too gone
I've tried to understand it
I don't know what came over me that day
I was sure then
Were never going to make it,
I didn't want to hear it
I wasn't going to fake it
The issue was pushed and
I've made up my mind
There's nothing left here to say,
shell never understand

She fell her knees and begged
"Baby, please won't you talk to me?
Just turn, turn around and look at me!"
But I didn't have one thing to say to her
So she cut herself
as I walked away,
never looking back
She was gone
Her love was erased so she made
up her mind to leave her world of pain
I'll never be the same

The result of her autopsy came within four days
And showed without question
she'd been carrying my...
No!

Now every way place that I go,
I see her face that I know
Screaming "Liar!"
Getting higher

She was there,
shadowing me on the air
HER GHOST: REMAINS
The face haunting me holds
a soul to go to the end
The key to my soul and
eternity calls from the grave

4. Until Death Do Us Part

You were my religion
and I was all your sin,
Thirty silver pieces,
Its where we've always been
You received my blessing,
I'm saddled with your curse
You lead me to the water,
Can you forsake my thirst?

Making vows for nothing,
So much wasted breath
You meant something different
I mean UNTIL DEATH DO US PART

Until death...

5. Vowbreaker

Life is too short,
my deeds are too few
Is this what we've come to,
It's clear that we're through
A gathering of crows,
there's no wedded bliss
The death of all reason has brought us to his

Make no mistake,
I've had enough
So pack your belongings and take all your stuff
I speak with clear tongue you've earned no reprieve
Look into my eyes you will start to believe

So go rouse the world,
sound the alarm
Tell them my arrival may cause them some harm
The gates are lifted,
I set myself free
And what's left of your grace keeps eluding me
I assign you no blame it's no fault but my own
Living with you has been like living alone
I want to be true,
I want to be loved
Not ignored and neglected,
rejected and cast aside
And put away then shuffled off for another day

Remember:
For Richer or Poorer
VOWBREAKER

Surely you know what you mean to me,
You know that I've loved you
And all that you took I gave willingly
but we all let it change

Remember:
In sickness and in health
VOWBREAKER
We agreed that it would be for Better or Worse
VOWBREAKER

Surely you know what you mean to me,
You know that I've loved you
And all that you took I gave willingly
but we all that is over

Stars will fall weeping down from the sky
Mountains uproot themselves from the ground
Birds lose their song,
flowers their scent
Everything wrong and I'm lying here

For Better or Worse,
to Love and Obey
VOWBREAKER
As long as "We both can live better this way!"
That's why they call you the VOWBREAKER
Heartbreaker,
Home wrecker

VOWBREAKER
