DELAIN LYRICS

1. One Second

Don't want to close my eyes again
Cause every time I do you're there
With that smug look on your face
Don't want to fall asleep again
Cause every time I dream
I love and lose you
Over and over again

It takes a second just to fall in love
It takes a second just to fall in love
Against the odds
Despite myself
Yeah, just one second to love
Just one second to love

It doesn't really matter how
Much time has passed
It always goes to show

It takes a second just to fall in love
It takes a second just to fall in love
Against the odds
Despite myself
Yeah, just one second to love
Just one second to love

2. We Had Everything

We had time
Reveling in the dawn of life
If only then we had known
Just how fast
It goes by

We were crying
Through the best
Days of our lives
If only then we had known
It's a shame
Such a shame

We had every – we had everything
Softest sunsets and drunk on your scent
We had every - we had everything
Mixed with the salt on your skin
We had everything

We had pride
Reveling in the dark of night
Thinking simple of love
"It will come
As it goes"

We were blind
Didn't know that what we left behind
Was never to return
But in dreams
Bittersweet

We had every – we had everything
Softest sunsets and drunk on your scent
We had every - we had everything
Mixed with the salt on your skin
We had everything.

3. Chemical Redemption

I have objected the use
I have cried wolf, cried abuse

No More – That was yesterday
No More – I have learned from my mistakes
No More – That was yesterday
I lied, I tried to say

Oh I want to try again
Wanna fly again
Wanna try again
With you

It is physical
This redemption of mine
It is chemical
It it it – It is physical

Truth is I was quite enraged
Truth is I was quite afraid

No More – That was yesterday
No More – Reason won the war on rage
No More – That was yesterday
Before I came out to say

Oh I want to try again
Wanna fly again
Wanna try again
With you

It is physical
This redemption of mine
It is chemical
It it it – It is physical

No More
No More
No More, no confusion

Sing for disillusion
Sing for thought dilution
Sing for the solution

I've wanted to know for some time
Just how feels to feel fine
Today I live on your high
Today I know I'm alive.

4. Burning Bridges

Do you remember? (Yes I do)
You and me against the world
Do you remember? (Yes I do, yes I do)

It seems like forever
We held on to each other like
We held on to life

Now why
Would you send me out to sea
On this battered ship alone?
If this is what it seems

You're burning your bridges down
You're burning them to the ground
You're burning your bridges down
What goes around
Must come around
And you burn your bridges down

Do you enjoy it? (Yes I do)
Fighting fire and gravity
It's painful to see

So why would you set to self destruct
Aim to annihilate
You are burning
You are burning

You're burning your bridges down
You're burning them to the ground
You're burning your bridges down
What goes around
Will come around
And you burn your bridges down

All my bridges are falling apart
I've got a torch
With a thorn that fits
In your heart
All my bridges are falling apart
I've got a torch
With a thorn that fits
In your heart

Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Standing on your high ledge
Hear me, see me

5. Vengeance

Won't you dig out my roots?
Can't you feel my frustration?
About the road we are on,
And what we've become,
Are you in this with me still?

You're breaking the gates as
You're breaking my heart
Tear down the walls as I
Tear you apart and my everything's
shattered now

Give me a reason
Give me a sign or a sacrifice
Just one reason to lay down these arms
And stop the fight
Give me a reason
Give me a sign you get one more try
Or tonight
Vengeance is mine

If I were to see
The mere sight of you
Oh believe it
Breathing the same air
I'd rather die millions of deaths

You're breaking the gates as
You're breaking my heart
Tear down the walls as I
Tear you apart and my everything's
Shattered now

Give me a reason
Give me a sign or a sacrifice
Just one reason to lay down these arms
And stop the fight
Give me a reason
Give me a sign you get one more try
Or tonight
Vengeance is mine

6. To Live Is to Die

Life will pass
Like a flash

To Live Is To Die
Remember To Live
To Live Is To Die

There's no time
Just be kind

Tell me how you'll fill the void
Screaming sorrow or screaming joy?

To Live Is To Die
Remember To Live
To Live Is To Die

Tell me how you'll fill the void
And live a life worth dying for?

7. Let's Dance

WE all knew this day would come
We ALL knew this day would come
We all KNEW this day would come
We all knew THIS day would come

It's a beautiful day
Mountains crumbling down
It's a beautiful day
Skies are turning red
It's a beautiful day
We're all falling now
It's a beautiful day
This must be the end

Let's Dance
Like ants in a hill fire

All the holes here in the sand
All these holes the size of heads
We won't have the time to dig
Dig them deeper for the dead

It's a beautiful day
Mountains crumbling down
Skies are turning red
We're all falling now
This must be the end

Let's Dance
Like ants in a hill fire

Creeping through the licking flames
No more shall we pray
Our welcome long overstayed
Now we count the days

8. Creatures

Our cities have turned to ash
All our stories have been told
Our final melody is slowly
Dying with the light
But you are the night
You are the night
You fall, You fight
My creature of the night

You try, You stall
You're forced to give it all
But when it's your back against the wall,
Who's going to catch you when you fall?

Our bodies will not rest
Under marble and snow
Our ceremony sober
With nobody left to cry
But you survived
You are the night

You fall, You fight
My creature of the night
You try, You stall
You're forced to give it all
But when it's your back against the wall,
Who's going to catch you when you fall?

No you don't walk alone tonight
You will learn the price of time
You've got the weight of memory
Forever chained onto your feet

You fall, You fight
My creature of the night
You try, You stall
You're forced to give it all
But when it's your back against the wall,
Who's going to catch you when you fall?

9. Ghost House Heart

Why do we fall
Like the leaves
To the ground

I know that before
I have asked for more
But I've had all
That I can take

Ghost House Heart
Home to a million memories
Ghost House Heart
I live in the shadow
Of your love

This is not the end
There's a million things to see
But it's not for you and me
There's a million things to see
This is not the end
There's a million things to say

There's a heavy price to pay
There's a million things to say

Ghost House Heart
Home to a million memories
Ghost House Heart
I live in the shadow
Of your love

10. Masters of Destiny

I, I curse the morning star and
I, I curse the moonlit sky

I traced the stars and mapped them all
And to my misery
Each single line up in the sky
pointed back to me
I can't escape my destiny
I can't escape

Like a deer, still as stone, on the road
As headlights approach

No, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh the things we've said and done
We've said and done
We've said and done

Used to be sure that
It's me who sleeps
But can it be
Somewhere there's a life
That dreams of me

Used to be sure that
I roll the dice
But can it be
Eternity
is playing me

No, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh the things we've said and done
We've said and done
We've said and done

Hold on
Chance is cruel but there's no one else
Keeping you down
If you don't bow to its will

I am the dreamer
I roll the dice
I'm alive
My hands aren't tied

We are the dreamers
We roll the dice
We're alive
We'll always be
The masters of our destiny

Like a deer
Brick to bone
On the road
Flesh picked on by crows

Oh, the things we have become
Oh, the things we've said and done
We've said and done
Oh, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh, the things we've said and done
We've said and done

11. Legions of the Lost

Temet Nosce
Acta Non Verba
Temet Nosce
Dum Spiro Spero

Omnium rerum principia
Parva sunt

Stop
Communication overkill
Misinformation overkill
Summon the silence

Stop
Idolisation of the rich
Money commanding politics
Feeding us fear with the cheapest tricks

Stop
Communication overload
Too many dogs too little bones
Too little pearls too many swine

Stop
And if you think you're doing fine
Stop and ask yourself, who am I
Am I the hunter,
Or the lion?

We'll call the battle cry
For those too tired to fight
We'll trade the longest day
For the eternal night
There's only one thing you should learn
You come with us; you don't return
We're the legions
The legions
Legions of the lost

March
Carry your tired body home
Where you know you won't be alone
That's where you'll find us

March
And if you think you're doing well
Maybe that means you're one of them
Are you the hunter,
Or the lion?

We'll call the battle cry
For those too tired to fight
We'll trade the longest day
To the eternal night
There's only one thing you should learn
You come with us; you don't return
We're the legions
The legions
The legions of the lost

Never forget what you are made of
Or what you started fighting for
Always remember who you are

12. The Greatest Escape

You're the blue note
You are sad like a melody
In minor key

You sway, you float
For whenever you touch the ground
It drags you down
If I could
I'd make your heart unbroken
I'd make these words unspoken

It's the greatest escape
It's between you, me and the sea

You forsake me
For the ones that we left behind
They left you blind
Sometimes it seems
Like you forgot the misery
I'd set you free but you
You miss the thrill of violence
Thank me with utter silence
For taking you away

It's the greatest escape
It's between you me and the sea

It's the greatest escape
Cut through the highest waves
Finding your soul a haven
Water the garden over your grave
