NORDIC UNION LYRICS

1. The War Has Begun

This is the line
This is the place
And when we cross it over
All we got is faith

This is the time
It's here and now
And only pain awaiting
On the other side

Oh mother, oh father
The war has begun
We've burnt and we've plundered
This earth
Oh mother, oh father
Forgive what we've done
Can't rise from the ashes, can't run
The war has begun

This is our life
This is our choice
And all the consequences
And the comforting voice

This is our call
It's our last chance
And how we hand it over
With our bloodstained hands

2. Hipocrisy

Those sweet words that came
Through your mouth
Your soft lips under
The crimson sky
And all our dreams took
Away my doubts
Never saw it coming
Now I know it's all a lie

Water flowing
Down the stream
Try to cleanse the shame
And all the guilt
Turned to ashes in my mouth
War is coming everything
I knew it's all a lie

Caroline, Caroline
Everything was just a lie
Caroline, you're living in hypocrisy

Heaven knows where I'm gonna go
These cold winds I'm frozen to the bone
Can not sleep, can not stay awake
Every ray of light
Is getting dark, it's all a lie

Caroline, Caroline
Everything was just a lie
Caroline, you're living in hypocrisy

3. Wide Awake

I don't know where to stop
Or begin again
My bloodshot eyes don't
See anything
This inner conversation
Is killing me
I need to get out get perspective
I need some peace

(It's spinning around in my head
And I just can't sleep)
It's spinning around in my head
And I just can't sleep
I can't break the chain of the pain
'Cause it goes so deep help me please

Wide awake wide awake
And I drown in an ocean of hate
Wide awake wide awake each night
(It drags me down it drags me down)
I have tried to let go
I have tried to be strong
But this nightmare never stops
Wide awake wide awake
Each night

No matter where I turn it's a
New dead end
I always come back to square one again
Just broken mess and a shadow left
I'm losing my mind
I need silence I need to rest

(It's spinning around in my head
And I just can't sleep)
It's spinning around in my head
And I just can't sleep
I can't break the chain of the pain
'Cause it goes so deep – help me please

4. Every Heartbeat

The flame was burning it was hot as the sun
We were young and marching to a different drum
Under the starlight
Was shining so bright

We try to hold on but already too late
We are torn apart
It's an ocean of ache
The cuts are deeper
As we grow weaker

And we bleed with every heartbeat
And we bleed with every heartbeat
For every step we try to take
There's another thing that breaks
And the wounds are open wide
And we bleed with every heartbeat

The storm is coming and it's heading our way
It's gonna tear us down but I'm ready to stay
We better hold tight
Will be a rough ride

To find what's lost never to be found
Got to burn our bridges down to the ground
We will tear us open
We're torn and broken

And I come home after you go to sleep
And you are gone before I open up my eyes
Just silence not a fight
All that's left is just a ghost in me
Still I can't let you go

5. When Death Is Calling

Time is moving on, I can't rewind
Facing all the fears we hold inside of us

It's...
Black - the sky above
Black - the world below
Black - now far will you follow
Black - I can't believe
Black - all I can see
Black - I close my eyes

When death is calling
It is a road we walk alone
When death is calling
We travel right into the unknown
When death is calling...

Is this real or just inside of me
On your thoughts are locked away
I cannot see

It's...
Black - the sky above
Black - the world below
Black - now far will you follow
Black - I can't believe
Black - all I can see
Black - I close my eyes

When death is calling...
It is a road we walk alone
When death is calling...
We travel right into the unknown
As darkness falls and kills the light
You're screaming out your name
When death is calling...
You fall on your knees

6. 21 Guns

The trenches dug and filled with innocence
They live they die and fall with pride
A blood red sky you see the colours fly
Fooled by the powers behind feeding us lies

They're marching on, no matter what the cost
Their head held high and don't ask why
A freak parade with a dollar cause
The war didn't end all the wars

We're going down, down down
We're falling one by one
Yeah, 21 guns makes it worth the price
But do we care about the body count

Moving forward on their tired feet
They live they die and fall with pride
The politicians gathered for the feast
They all wear the mark of the beast

We're going down, down down
We're falling one by one
Yeah, 21 guns makes it worth a price
But do we care about the body count

No they won't back down keep raging on
And the wheels keep spinning 'round
Yeah, 21 guns makes it worth a price
But do we care about the body count
Down, down down
We're falling one by one
Yeah, 21 guns makes it worth a price
But do we care about the body count

7. Falling

We're socially divided
Through emotionally confided
But we are, we are, we are still beautiful
It's true
Been hanging at the deep end
We've been through hell and back again
But we are, we are, we are still beautiful
Me and you

And everything I drown into your eyes
I see a glimpse of paradise

Tonight's the night we're falling in love again
Yeah we're falling falling
Tonight's the night we'll melt into one again
Love is calling calling
Never let it die
We'll keep the flame alive
Sliding up and down
It's a roller-coaster ride
Hold on
Tonight's the night
We're falling in love again

What they can't see on the outside
Is what count's on the inside
And we both, we know, we're bold
And beautiful it's true
Still I see the sunrise in your eyes
And girl that's when I realize

We fall in love again
We're falling in love again
And I can't get you out of my mind
No, I just can't stay away
And now's the time we realize

8. The Other Side

You got me running into overdrive
I almost didn't make it out alive
A bit too much of paradise

Down on my knees I was crawling back
I won't survive another heart attack
I got the morals of an alley cat

My hearts a ball of burning flames
And I'm going down

On the other side
I'll embrace the bitter cold
On the other side
It's a long and winding road
Open fire, fire away
It's the price I got to pay
Run and hide on the other side

Pushing my heart until the break of dawn
I stuck my nose where it don't belong
Don't always need what you really want

Nocturnal creature with the devils eyes
Unholy spirit sucking out your life
But with a talent you can't deny

My life's a wreck of burning flames
And I'm going down

I'm out of hope and I'm out of dreams
Put out the fire with gasoline
Never as easy as it seems

9. Point Of No Return

Let's burn it down
Let's take it to the ground
And leave the ashes blowing on the wind

Without a sound
Hell-bent, won't fool around
I close the door and leave what might have been
Past the point of no return

'Cause I will rise above
Over mountains high
I'll leave it all
And I'll draw first blood
There's no way back
There's no way out
I'll never be the same
I'll rise above way past the point of no return

No make believe
It's time for honesty
I'll stand up straight and look you in your eyes

It's a dead end street
And I'm in too deep
There's no way back I'm running for my life
Past the point of no return

10. Love Awaits You

Somebody hurt your feelings
Emotionally on shaky ground
You're giving up
Now you're stuck in disarray

Someone you believed in
Another one who let you down
You try to lie, try to hide
From the pain that you can't escape

Yet another heartache
Just another love in vain you're holding on
Try to run but there ain't no get away

But even in your darkest moments
You don't know what you're searching for
And when you feel it all seems over
Love is knocking a your door

When you see heaven's falling
When all your hopes are gone
There will be angels calling
True love awaits you
Someone who'll lend a shoulder
That you can lean upon
Your sunshine supernova true love awaits you

See you fading sister sadness
You're soul alone and torn apart
Another blow try to cope with the emptiness

You're so desolate and faithless
The diary of a broken heart
You try to see, to believe
You'll find a way out of this

You're picking up the pieces
You're standing where your heart belongs
And now you feel that it's real
You can breathe again

11. Go

We're gonna crash to the ground
We're heading faster that the speed of sound
I'm gonna tear it all down
It will be gone and never to be found

Won't give another piece of me
I'm as ready as I'll ever be

I gotta go
(Go, go, get away I don't care what others say)
I won't be home tonight
I gotta go
(Go, go, and away won't get back to yesterday)
Don't bother calling me you will be home alone
Tonight - I won't be home

I'm burning bridge after bridge
There's no surrender never looking back
Gotta be better than this
You wouldn't know it by the way you act

Don't need another reason to stay
And I can not stand another day

I gotta go
(Go, go, get away I don't care what others say)
I won't be home tonight
I gotta go
(Go, go, and away won't get back to yesterday)
Don't bother calling me you will be home alone
Tonight - I won't be home

We used to laugh now we only cry
It doesn't matter who is wrong or right
Thought it was a dream that would never die
(It doesn't matter if you're wrong it doesn't matter if you're right)
And now it's lost never to be found
(Now it's over now it's gone never to be found)
I'm living on the outside, dying on the inside
