SHINING LYRICS

1. Admittance

2. The Last Stand

Sideshow cars and plastic stars
A turgid affair
Illuminates the dwindling scars

They point and stare

I've been longing for a son like you
I've been searching for a way out too
and somebody - somebody's looking for you.
If I find some way out

Then I will stay
With heart split two ways down
Like tears down my face
We'll find our way out

Without a map just our hearts
And when we get out
We'll topple down your house of cards

3. Burn It All

4. Last Day

All you can do is to hope and pray
But I know so well that I will betray
All you can do is to hope and pray
But I know so well that I will betray

Beneath the lies you hide your greed
But I keep it here, what you cannot steal
Inside a blood red cavity
You know it's coming, but your eyes can't see
You're tearing up, you're down on your knees
And it gets so god damn hard to breathe

All you can do is to hope and pray
But I know so well that I will betray
All you can do is to hope and pray

All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
The day when I say

Don't fucking tell me what to play
I'll always disobey
Until my last day
I'll go my own way

Now there's a void inside of me
Where I keep the wound that cannot heal
And whenever I go I will go all alone
I've never found a place where I belong
You hear the sound of a blade in your back
And you know I won't be coming back

All you can do is to hope and pray
But I know so well that I betrayed
All you can is to hope and pray

All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
The day when I say

Don't fucking tell me what to play
I'll always disobey
Until my last day
I'll go my own way

All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
The day when I say

All you can do is to hope and pray
All you can do is to hope and pray
All you can do is to hope and pray
All you can do

Don't fucking tell me what to write
I know I'll never satisfy
Until my last day
I'll go my own way

Ouh!
All you can do is to hope and pray, ouh!
All you can do is to

Don't fucking tell me what to write
This song will be our last goodbye
Until my last day
I'll go my own way

5. Thousand Eyes

6. House of Warship

[Instrumental]

7. House of Control

I hear this broken sound
Of what's gone by
I see a tear of lead behind your eye

It's happening again
I've lost this place I didn't occupy
Our broken fairy tale so hard to hide

I hear it closer now, whisper through the night
I hear it through the dark, whispering a lie
It's happening again, and you keep telling me you know I tried
But deep inside you know it's all a lie

Behind this cold and empty stare I know I was never there

Now I know it's all a lie
Chose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love - for a place -
For a place in this House of Control

I've tried and tried but cannot hide from my dying drive
I've seen this across the sky, I came to say goodbye
I thought I could control the end
Thought I would change, but now i can't pretend
I know how this will end, now I see why

Behind these red and bloodshot eyes
I know I'll stay this way until I die
Because

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love for the place
In this empty House Of Control

There was a time before this time
When I told myself
There was a time before this when I told myself
It was worth the sacrifice
To sacrifice all I loved for
What I was going to love
There was a time before this time
In my my my my cold black soul
I knew what I was living for
But now, but now I'm not so sure

Damn you life, look what you stole
All this time I've played this role
Look deep inside this cold black soul
Where all you'll find's a foul dead hole

Behind the taste of what I said
Behind the silence in my head
Behind this cold and empty bed
Where thoughts of you are all found dead

Hey! [12x]

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
I sold all the things I love
For a place in this empty House Of Control

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love for a place in this
Empty House of Control

8. Church of Endurance

[Instrumental]

9. Need
