SKYSCRAPER LYRICS

1. Awaken Night

Laying alone
And in my heart the fright
Counting the hours
Before the morning light

But it's in vain
The only friend I got is pain
My soul is hidden
In the Shadows of my name

One minute over
I feel much older now
Rescue me faster
Before the light of dawn

And blow away,
Blow out the ghost that made me stay
Blow out the dust that's hidden me
For all these years

And at night when the whispers are louder
And the silence is all but a still
Inner sirens are topping my dawning
I wish I were dreaming this awaken night

My eyes wide open
I'm on the ship of fools
I'll share the colors
Of my devoted blues

'Cause through the night
I'm an eternal black and white
Watching the silent nighttime rainbow
Passing by

And at night when the whispers are louder
And the silence is all but a still
Inner sirens are topping my dawning
I wish I were dreaming this awaken night

Dusk and denial blend in a lullaby
Taste the regrets lurking behind a sigh
So dim's the light
So cold is the morning bound to thrive
When to the stillness drowning me I resign
Throughout the night

'Cause through the night
I'm an eternal black and white
Watching the silent nighttime rainbow
Passing by

And at night when the whispers are louder
And the silence is all but a still
Inner sirens are topping my dawning
I wish I were dreaming this awaken night

And at night when the whispers are louder
And the silence is all but a still
Inner sirens are topping my dawning
I wish I were dreaming this awaken night

2. Over Ruled

All the tickets have been sold
The special guest is three years old
"A sex abuser", that's what I was told
A young man singing' his new song
Some virgin preachers say “it's wrong!”
They say “it makes the evil get too strong!”

How long will it last
I don't have to take it anymore

Take me away from this foolish complaining
And don't make me hear these whole stories again
So many real big problems remain
While you play with law wasting your right in vain

Truth is always in disguise
When social rules are not so wise
And we keep saying we're not what we are
Forbidden thoughts, forbidden sins
This moral lie in which we're living
Another trial, another vulture wins

How long will it last
I don't have to take it anymore

Take me away from this foolish complaining
And don't make me hear these whole stories again
So many real big problems remain
While you play with law wasting your right in vain

Take me away from this foolish complaining
And don't make me hear these whole stories again
So many real big problems remain
While you play with law wasting your right in vain

3. Good Old News

[Instrumental]

4. Happier Than I Am

Feel the weight of all the years gone
They're few but we're feeling so old
And everything that we have done
Was carrying someone else's stones
In silence we dream of what our lives could be
If we could have seen no one pulling the strings
And deep in our hearts we don't care what you think
But we still live for things we don't believe

If I could begin my life again
I know some things would never change
But the time I spent to live in vain
This time I'd use it all in different ways
And all the days I spent trying to be a perfect man
I'd use it to be happier than I am

And all the days I spent trying to be a perfect man
I'd use it to be happier than I am

Feel the weight of all the years gone
They're few but we're feelings old
And everything that we have done
Was carrying someone else's stones
And deep in our hearts we don't care what you think
But we still live for things we don't believe

If I could begin my life again
I know some things would never change
But the time I spent to live in vain
This time I'd use it all in different ways
And all the days I spent trying to be a perfect man
I'd use it to be happier than I am

And all the days I spent trying to be a perfect man
I'd use it to be happier than I am

5. Anguish

Something inside is wrong
And something is taking too long
All these years made us so strong
Can't give up, so much has been done

There is still a strange sensation
There is still so much temptation
There is a fire inside that cheats the pain
And tells to believe it was not in vain
'Cos we have gone too far
But we're feeling like in the start
There's a hole inside our hearts

It's been a long time waiting
A long time of fighting
We're gone, too far to give up
A long time trying
A long time of dreaming
We're gone, too far to give up

There is still a strange sensation
There is still so much temptation
There is a fire inside that cheats the pain
And tells to believe it was not in vain
'Cos we have gone too far
But we're feeling like in the start
There's a hole inside our hearts

It's been a long time waiting
A long time of fighting
We're gone, too far to give up
A long time trying
A long time of dreaming
We're gone, too far to give up

6. Forever Under Lies

You try to see the morning sun but now it's gone
And a pain inside still makes you feel so cold
Tears in your eyes show you that you are not so strong
And loneliness shows feelings you don't know

All your dreams are left behind
Your fears, your sadness made them die

How can you live your life if you can't see no reason for it?
Will you live forever under lies?
Will you be killed by the time or will you try to do it right
And find a real meaning to your life?

But you still dare to say that you're felling your life
Your life is just a stupid waste of time
You run, you hide, you die but you don't even try
You have already buried yourself alive

All your dreams are left behind
Your fears, your sadness made them die

How can you live your life if you can't see no reason for it?
Will you live forever under lies?
Will you be killed by the time or will you try to do it right
And find a real meaning to your life?

Your silence still cuts you
And something inside still hurts
You're feeling remorse
For things you've never done before

All your dreams are left behind
Your fears, your sadness made them die

How can you live your life if you can't see no reason for it?
Will you live forever under lies?
Will you be killed by the time or will you try to do it right
And find a real meaning to your life?

7. Great Dead Singer

I was just a boy like everyone
And then I wrote another stupid song
About sex, drugs and rock'n roll,
About the pain and disgrace of this world
So one day I died by overdose,
Stealing tears from everyone
I became the number one on the radios
Now anybody can sing all my songs

One more dead hero was born
Knowing the fame after bring gone
Known by the radios, known by T.V.
Ready to be just another great dead...

Great dead singer

Hey! can you hear me? it's not a simple dream
This is a sad reality where T.V. tells the people how to live
You can see it everywhere
When I was there no one did really care
Now that I'm gone they all still cry
Today I am another thing you buy

I was just a boy like everyone
And then I wrote another stupid song
I became the number one on the radios
Now anybody can sing all my songs

One more dead hero was born
Knowing the fame after bring gone
Known by the radios, known by T.V.
Ready to be just another great dead...

Great dead singer

8. So Far

Before the sun rises up and while the shadows turn to light
Before they realize another day has passed them by
And in the end of it there's just another night
Without a single change, that's how they live their lives

And trough all the sad times they keep working hard
'Cos they all still have hearts full of pride

Even in misery and sorrow
They still can find will to smile
They don't give up, they stand so strong
But happiness is so far

Far, it's so far
They're still trying to escape from the dark
Far, it's so far
But there is so much hope in their hearts
Far it's so far
I know they'll never stop fighting hard
Far, it's so far
This is all just a matter of time

Even in misery and sorrow
They still can find will to smile
They don't give up, they stand so strong
But happiness is so far

Even in misery and sorrow
They still can find will to smile
They don't give up, they stand so strong
But happiness is so far

9. Vulture

Bombs and bloodshed look like gold to me
For me it's money when it's what you read
You read the news not knowing what it means
It means I'm getting rich with the world's tragedy

If an angry crowd starts to fight I don't care if this is right
This is good if it's something I'll write on my distortion of life
Not the truth, not a lie

"Earthquakes", "murder" it's music to my ears
Years of wars become years of news you'll read
Read, read, read! I'm sure you will believe
While I'm getting rich with the world's tragedy

If an angry crowd starts to fight I don't care if this is right
This is good if it's something I'll write on my distortion of life
And I'll write
If somebody's idol just died, if somebody starts to cry
I just care if it makes people buy my distortion of life
Not the truth, not a lie

It's not the truth and it's not a lie
It's the easiest way to get all of you
Bloody, dirty, you say it's cruel
But you're having fun with what I do

If an angry crowd starts to fight I don't care if this is right
This is good if it's something I'll write on my distortion of life
And I'll write
If somebody's idol just died, if somebody starts to cry
I just care if it makes people buy my distortion of life
Not the truth, not a lie

10. Millennium

Dies Irae, Dies Ila

Best regards
Crown of broken shards
Digging sores in my mind
Cruel and so kind
Come and face our demanded fate
Our delight and sorrow
Truly borrowed

Can you see the morning,
See the warning,
See the hope?
Can you see now
What was foretold?

Run! run for the day - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Run for the light - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Millennium

Ash and haze
Come and guide my way
Now the road is leading
Deep within me
Time has come
And the doom has sprung
Come and claim our freedom
Armageddon

Can you see the morning,
See the warning,
See the hope?
Can you see now
What was foretold?

Run! run for the day - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Run for the light - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Millennium

Can you see the morning,
See the warning,
See the hope?
Can you see now
What was foretold?

Run! run for the day - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Run for the light - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Millennium

Run! run for the day - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Run for the light - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Millennium

Run! run for the day - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Run for the light - Dies Irae, Dies Ila
Millennium

11. Insane

How can you tell me what's right,
Making lots of mistakes?
Trying to hide from the truth you say I'm insane
You're feeling so tall
Finally you have someone to blame
You say it's O.K. but there is no change

So you send us to this madhouse
But the world is still the same
You say everyone is safe now
This way things will never change
Sometimes I laugh at what you've done
There's freedom on these chains

Insane, it's insane
You build up destruction, pain and hate
And keep saying I am...
Insane, I'm insane
Leave me here to live in peace
Inside here I feel free 'cos the madness is outside

And through the sleepless nights remember all you've done
Emptiness will show you what this madman tried to say

So you send us to this madhouse
But the world is still the same
You say everyone is safe now
This way things will never change
Sometimes I laugh at what you've done
There's freedom on these chains

Insane, it's insane
You build up destruction, pain and hate
And keep saying I am...
Insane, I'm insane
Leave me here to live in peace
Inside here I feel free 'cos the madness is outside
Madness is out
Madness is out
Madness is outside

12. T.V.Lization

Turn on the bloody screen, the show is goin'on
Don't need to be afraid, it's always far from home
If you don't like it you can choose another one
That shows another truth, the one you like know

Turn it on, turn it off, you're the king
Forget the real life, it's just insane and boring
You'll feel like if your problems were so far
You live day by day without seeing your life passing by

Take your feet off the ground
Don't try to understand
I'm sure you feel so fine now
But you are going down

When will you realize?
That this is not your life
It's all fake
It controls your mind and makes you blind

You smile, you cry
For some character's life
You live, you die
And behind a sea of lies you hide

Wake up man you're just another puppet
Completely under control
You love, you hate, you laugh, you cry
And you keep doing
You keep doing everything you're told
Wear it, buy it, eat it, breathe and watch it
You keep watching all this empty show
It fills your gaps, now it kills your mind
And makes you live just like a stone

When will you realize?
That this is not your life
It's all fake
It controls your mind and makes you blind

You smile, you cry
For some character's life
You live, you die
And behind a sea of lies you hide

See this poor man
He's feeling so strong
He can't see his empty hands
He is so blind
He's just another stupid guy
Who's a livin' in a T.V. life

Close your blinded eyes
Sleep, turn off your mind
Feel all your problems die
Freeze while the time goes by

Can't you see? it's fantasy
But your problems still remain true
You feel good. it's your food
It's the way out of your sad life
It's not bad but you let it possess you
You're livin' in lies that you turn into real life
You're still the same, without a change
You are turning your back to real life

When will you realize?
That this is not your life
It's all fake
It controls your mind and makes you blind

You smile, you cry
For some character's life
You live, you die
And behind a sea of lies you hide

13. Play The Game Tonight

[Kansas Cover]

[Japan Bonus Track]

You think that something's happening
And it's bigger than your life
But it's only what you're hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come
Will the songs be playing over and over
Till you do it all over again

Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
It is worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in a while spotlight
Then play the game tonight

And when the curtains open
To the roaring of the crowd
You will feel it all around you
Then it finally happens
And it's all come true for you
And the songs are playing over and over
Till you do it over again

Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
It is worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in a while spotlight
Then play the game tonight

Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
It is worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in a while spotlight
Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
It is worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in a while spotlight

Then play the game tonight
