English:

Listen to my heart
Sorrowful, alas
I am lost without you
And your wife
The great love in your life
She guided me
Be with me always
Day and night

Chorus:
Lamenting the great loneliness
The sorrowful tears
Asleep [1] in the quiet green grave
In a deep peace
There was happiness
But that departed
It was he who followed you
Your husband
The great love in your life
He guided me
Be with me always
Day and night

Chorus

I think of the day
That you were beside ne
Telling a story [2]
Of the old life [3]
I remember the day
Without want and without gloom
Be with me always
Day and night

Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you
I’ll tell you no lies
When all is said and done
Does it really matter who’s wrong or right
Don’t ask me for a reason, I can’t explain
Why we hurt one another again and again
As I lie bleeding here I still
I still reach for you
A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes
Your eyes are open now but you know
Its still hard to see inside
When action and intention
Are two separate things
Now I somehow wish I could explain
Why we hurt each other again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you
A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes
Forever we’ve been
Trapped by our hearts
Trapped by our minds
I’d like to leave
I’d like to win at love
But I just can’t let it go
And I just can’t watch it slipping away
And I just can’t let it go
And I just can’t stand another minute
Maybe now someday our shattered lives
Will mend themselves again
But now a million miles away
I still wish I could
And though I somehow know, I can’t explain
Why we hurt another again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you

What is a man that stays true to the game
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that is a person that I know to well
Don’t want to know, but I don’t have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some shit, I’ll fuckin’ pound you, son
Don’t need a reason, pain I’m feelin’
I gotta vent or else I blow inside

Pre-chorus:
Introspection, termination
Can’t tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It’s gone on far too long

Chorus:
You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times
Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails, the power to survive

What is a man that stays true to the game
But can’t believe some of the things he sees
Anger’s a gift and I won’t be kept down
In poverty there is no democracy
Used needle and a crack vile
A broken bottle and a bullet shell
This urban life is so volatile
An inner city or a concrete hell

Pre-chorus
Chorus

What is a man don’t stay true to the game
Don’t care for no one, only cares for his greed
He’s playin’ God killin’ thousands of people
‘Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our souls burnin’ over oil
A politician got no feelin’
It makes my motherfuckin’ cold blood boil

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I’m home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder….

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

It’s always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

‘Cause everything’s so wrong
And I don’t belong
Living in your
Precious memories

‘Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder….

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don’t want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don’t want to let this go
I, I
Don’t….

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I’m home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder….

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you…

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight

I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be

I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel cruel things that you said

I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I

I got bruises on my memory
I got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there’s a vision
Of what used to be a man

I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be

I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be

I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be

I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be

I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I’m a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be

I gave up cigarettes
I haven’t had to light one yet
And it’s been a year since I stopped
The same goes for alcohol
I don’t touch the stuff at all
And I used to drink till I dropped
Those were tough, this is easy
And it feels so good to say
Forgetting you is not that hard to do
I’ve done it a thousand times a day

Friends said it’d take some time
To get you off my mind
They thought I’d never let you go
Well, I guess I proved them wrong
One more bad habit gone
Just like the whiskey and the smokes
Those were tough, this is easy
Well, I’m all right, yeah, I’m okay
Forgetting you is not that hard to do
I’ve done it a thousand times a day

I’ve given you up for good
Just like I said I would
The night you walked away
Forgetting you is not that hard to do
I’ve done it a thousand times a day
Yes, I’ve done it a thousand times a day

For liberty there is a cost – its broken skulls and leather cosh,
From the boys in uniform – now you know whose side their on –
With backing – with blessing,
From earthly gods not heaven,
A stones throw away from it all.
Whatever pleasures those who get – from stripping skin with rhino whip,
Are the kind that must be stopped – before their kind take all we’ve got –
With loving – with caring,
They take great pride in working,
The stones throw away from it all.

Whenever honesty persists – you’ll hear the snap of broken ribs,
Of anyone who’ll take no more – of the lying bastards roar –
In Chile – In Poland,
Johannesburg – South Yorkshire,
A stones throw away: Now we’re there.

(Story about a girl)
(Story about the world)

Suddenly something I’m not
You’re something that you bought
Was it something I said, my friend
A little girl are you tripping on this
Are you tripping all over it
You better come up for air

Story about a girl
My
Story about the world
My

And are you waking up slowly
You’re nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I’ll always
Always be
There

Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
Oh it’s just where we live
And finally you think you’re alright
And that it eats you up alive
You better get used to it

Story about a girl
My
Story about the world
My

And are you waking up slowly
You’re nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I’ll always
Always be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

I know
It’s stuck inside your head
You’re alone
You better get used to it
And I know
The feeling has to end
You’re strong
It sucks you in again
And you’re lost
You can’t make any sense
This world
It tears you limb from limb
And hold on
You’re nothing but the best

And are you waking up slowly
You’re nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I’ll always
Always be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me

I lose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me?

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil’s claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It’s falling down
And all around me, falling

You say that you’ll be there to catch me
Or will you only try to trap me?
These are the rules I make
Our chains were meant to break, you’ll never change me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
You’re falling down
And all around me, falling

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil’s claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me now

Don’t ask me why
Don’t even try

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil’s claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It’s falling down
And all around me, falling

Falling…

Extended hand a friendly man who doesn’t trust a soul
I wonder why that meeting eyes could put your life on hold
Do people feel humanity is something of the past?
A kind hello, a favor done, these days could be your last

Bar your windows, lock your doors, choose your colors and stay down on the floor
Amidst a subtle war that’s right outside your door
Amidst a subtle war

You can’t go there at night unless you’re feeling immortal
‘Cause all of them have guns and knives, at least that’s what we’re told
A neighborhood or DMZ, but people call it home
Scared to death of living there, but got nowhere to go

Bar your windows, lock your doors, choose your colors And stay down on the floor
Amidst a subtle war that’s right outside your door
Amidst a subtle war

Pick your weapon
Talk to no one
Paranoia
Can we take this anymore


Amidst a subtle war that’s right outside your door
Amidst a subtle war
