The Crüxshadows -
Winterborn (This Sacrifice)
[Dry your eyes...
Dry your eyes...
Dry your eyes...]
Dry your eyes,
And quietly bear,
This pain with pride.
For heaven shall remember,
The silent and the brave.
And promise me,
They will never see,
The fear within our eyes.
[My eyes are closed]
We will give strength to,
Those who still remain.
So bury fear,
For fate draws near,
And hide the signs of pain.
With noble acts,
The bravest souls endure,
The heart's remains.
Discard regret,
That in this debt,
A better world is made.
That children of a newer day,
Might remember,
And avoid our fate.
"I waited all day in the pouring rain,
But nobody came, no, nobody came...."
[Prepare for battle]
And in the fury,
Of this darkest hour,
We will be your light.
You've asked me
For my sacrifice and
I am Winter born.
Without denying,
A faith is come,
That I have never known.
I hear the angels,
Call my name,
And I am Winter born.
Hold your head up high,
For there is no greater love
Think of the faces,
Of the people,
You defend
[You defend]
And promise me,
they will never see
The tears within our eyes
[My eyes are closed]
Although we are men,
With mortal sins,
Angels never cry
So bury fear,
For fate draws near,
And hide the signs of pain.
With noble acts,
The bravest souls endure,
The heart's remains.
Discard regret,
That in this debt,
A better world is made.
That children of a newer day,
Might remember,
And avoid our fate.
[Prepare for battle]
And in the fury,
Of this darkest hour,
We will be your light.
You've asked me
For my sacrifice and
I am Winter born.
Without denying,
A faith in God that,
I have never known
I hear the angels,
Call my name,
And I am Winter born.
And in the fury,
Of this darkest hour,
I will be your light.
A lifetime for this destiny,
For I am Winter born
And in this moment...
I will not run,
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope,
Within our bloodied hands.
And in our Dying,
We're more alive-
Than we have ever been.
I've lived for these few seconds,
For I am Winter born.
And in the fury,
Of this darkest hour,
We will be the light.
You've asked me,
For my sacrifice
And I am Winter born.
Without denying,
A faith in man,
That I have never known.
I hear the angels,
Call my name,
And I am Winter born.
Within this moment now,
I am for you,
Though better men have failed.
I will give my life for love,
For I am Winter born.
And in my dying,
I'm more alive,
than I have ever been.
I will make this sacrifice,
For I am Winter born.

The Crüxshadows -
Deception / Täuschung
Deception [English Lyrics]
She cries, children often do
When they're cold, and hungry too,
Come closer, look deeply in her eyes
So delicate, quite unlike her smile
Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws
Upon your fingertips,
All-yielding prayer,
For instant isolation,
Far more sinister,
Than the price of doubt,
Yet you remain,
Still you remain,
And she says:
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception...
Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence,
Gnaws upon your fingertips,
Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence,
Gnaws upon your fingertips,
All-yielding prayer,
For instant isolation,
Far more sinister,
Than the price of doubt,
Yet you remain,
Still you remain,
And she says:
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception..
(violin solo)
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception.
Täuschung ["Deception" in German]
sie weint, wie kinder öfters auch
wenn sie frieren und hungrig auch
komm näher, schau' tief
in ihre augen so weit
ganz ungleich ihrem lächeln
leben haftet rückwärts an
in dem fall des schrecklichen
verlierens noch diese stille
zerfrisst auch deine fingerspitzen
kalter langer atem hat schon
für sofortigen platz
viel besser als der preis des zweifels
doch bleibt dort,
noch bleibt dort
und sie sagt:
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
leben haftet rückwärts an
in dem fall des schrecklichen
verlierens noch diese stille
zerfrisst auch deine fingerspitzen
kalter langer atem für sofortigen platz
viel besser als der preis des zweifels
doch bleibt dort,
noch bleibt dort
und sie sagt:
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung

The Crüxshadows - Resist/R
Resist...Resist...
Striking back for the last
Heart attack
First you tip the scale
Then they tip it back
This escalating trend
Will never end
If they take from you
Then you take from them
Resist...Resist...
With less concern
For what is fair
To an unconsidered
Blame you bear
This escalating trend
Will never end,
If they take from you...
You take from them again
Resist...Resist...
Waking up from a dream,
Into another day
Never taking to heart,
All of the words they say
It's so hard to believe,
If you never see
That the truth is split,
On the in-between.
Waking up from a dream,
Into another day
Never taking to heart,
All of the words they say
It's so hard to believe,
Because the truth is this:
What hatred breeds you must resist
Resist...Resist...
Who was the first
And who was the last
Did you count yourself
Or omit the past
This basic concept
Begins again
When your actions flow
From the hate within?
Resist...Resist...
Waking up from a dream,
Into another day
Never taking to heart,
All of the words they say
It's so hard to believe,
If you never see
That the truth is split,
On the in-between.
Waking up from a dream,
Into another day
Never taking to heart,
All of the words they say
It's so hard to believe,
Because the truth is this:
What hatred breeds you must resist
I don't understand,
Why do you try
To make hatred
And intolerance,
Seem justified
I don't understand,
Your prejudice and lies
Tear down your ignorance,
Open your eyes
If the heart is rich
Then what you think you are
In your core beliefs
Should not become a sword
This basic concept
Is where it ends...
If you close your heart
Then you begin again
I don't understand,
Why do you try
To make hatred
And intolerance,
Seem justified
I don't understand,
Your prejudice and lies
Tear down your ignorance,
Open your eyes
Waking up from a dream,
Into another day
Never taking to heart,
All of the words they say
It's so hard to believe,
If you never see
That the truth is split,
On the in-between.
Waking up from a dream,
Into another day
Never taking to heart,
All of the words they say
It's so hard to believe,
Because the truth is this:
What hatred breeds you must resist
Waking up from a dream,
Into another day
Never taking to heart,
All of the words they say
It's so hard to believe,
If you never see
That the truth is split,
On the in-between.
Waking up from a dream,
Into another day
Never taking to heart,
All of the words they say
It's so hard to believe,
Because the truth is this:
What hatred breeds you must resist

Icon Of Coil - Shelter
Punishment for intolerance
So entertain us when you're still
Able to perform
I'm sorry to admit
That i won't be arround
When the world you created
Will colapse and drown
And drown...
Collapse...And Drown
Back to the crypts, nothing will last
We'll all fade away in one single blast
Out from the dust, machines arise
One second lef to live
Then will open your eyes
I can't find shelter in this world
I'm searching for another world
Where i feel safe
Punishment for intolerance
So entertain us when you're still
Able to perform
I'm sorry to admit
That i won't be arround
When the world you created
Will colapse and drown
And drown...
I can't find shelter in this world
I'm searching for another world
Where i feel safe...
I can't find shelter in this world
I'm searching for another world
Where i feel safe
I can't find shelter in this world
I'm searching for another world
Where i feel safe
I can't find shelter in this world
I'm searching for another world
Where i feel safe
I can't find shelter in this world
I'm searching for another world
Where i feel safe

VNV Nation - Epicentre
I asked myself was I content
With the world that I once cherished
Did it bring me to this darkened place
To contemplate my perfect future
I will not stand nor utter words
Against this tide of hate
Losing sight of what and who I was again
I'm so sorry, if these seething sords I say
Impress on you, that I've become,
The anathema of my soul
I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
Though I know where this is leading
(Please) No tears, no sympathy
I can't say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears, no sympathy
Gracefully,
Respectfully,
Facing conflict deep inside myself
Here confined,
Losing control
Of what I could not change
Gracefully,
Respectfully,
I ask you please don't worry,
Not for me,
Don't turn your back,
Don't turn away
I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
Though I know where this is leading
(Please) No tears, no sympathy
I can't say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears, no sympathy
No tears for me,
No sympathy...
No tears for me,
No sympathy...
Gracefully,
Respectfully,
I ask you please don't worry,
Not for me,
Don't turn your back,
Don't turn away
I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
Though I know where this is leading
(Please) No tears, no sympathy
I can't say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears, no sympathy
No tears for me,
No sympathy...
No tears for me,
No sympathy...
I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
Though I know where this is leading
(Please) No tears, no sympathy
I can't say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears, no sympathy

VNV Nation - Honour
Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve
A nation that stands alone
Cold voices, faces pale
Gathered unto their judgement day
Such pride remains unbroken
Such words remain unspoken
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry
Tears and medals in the rain
Shall I recall when justice did prevail?
No reason to be found why reason did fail
The all clear resounding
The way was clear to rebuild this land
Shall I call on you to guide me well
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension
Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies?
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
The all clear resounding
The way was clear to rebuild this land
Shall I call on you to guide me well?
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension
On this day we praise the fallen
Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?

Covenant - Call The Ships To Port
A billion words ago
The sailors disappeared
A story for the children
To rock them back to sleep
A million burning books
Like torches in our hands
A fabric of ideals
To decorate our homes
A thousand generations
The soil on which we walk
A mountain of mistakes
For us to climb for pleasure
A hundred clocks are ticking
The line becomes a circle
Spin the wheel of fortune
Or learn to navigate
[x2]
A choir full of longing
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the dark
A second of reflection can
Take you to the moon
The slightest hesitation can
Bring you down in flames
A single spark of passion
Can change a man forever
A moment in a lifetime
Is all it takes to break him
A fraction of a heartbeat
Made us what we are
A brother and a sister
For better or for worse
A billion words ago
They sang a song of leaving
An echo from the chorus
Will call them back again
[x2]
A choir full of longing
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the dark
[x3]
Tonight we light the fires
We call our ships to port
Tonight we walk on water
And tomorrow we'll be gone
...Tonight
...Tonight

Covenant -
Like Tears In The Rain / Der Leiermann
Like Tears In The Rain [English Lyrics]
Go to the Empire State and watch the city lights
Hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl
Stare into the sky, we're few and far between
Black eyes full of stars, wide with memories
Every street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lost
Every flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has died
Every man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is gone
Everything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died
Lie down in the park and watch the satellites
Hear the children sing just a breath away
Dance in the heavy air along the interstate
Black lung full of fumes, choke on memories
Every street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lost
Every flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has died
Every man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is gone
Everything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died
Der Leiermann [German Lyrics]
Drueben hinterm Dorfe steht ein Leiermann
und mit starren Fingern dreht er, was er kann.
Barfuss auf dem eise wankt er hin und her
und sein kleiner Teller bleibt ihm immer leer.
[x2]
Wunderlicher alter, soll ich mit dir geh'n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh'n?
Keiner mag ihn hoeren, keiner sieht ihn an,
und die Hunde knurren um den alten Mann.
Und er lässt es gehen alles, wie es will,
dreht, und seine Leier steht ihm nimmer still.
[x2]
Wunderlicher alter, soll ich mit dir geh'n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh'n?

Apoptygma Berzerk - Love Never Dies [Pt 1]
Forever in your arms, you said, forever in my heart
My love for you will make us both climb higher.
Driven by the power that is burning in our hearts
You know my faith in you will keep us together
Forever in your arms you said, forever in my heart
My love for you will make us both climb higher.
I sense your presence in this room,
I feel that you are near,
You hold me close and whisper "Love is forever"
Love is forever...
Love Never Dies...

Apoptygma Berzerk - In This Together
Should have seen this coming
Should have known this
Shouldn`t have let it happen
My mistake alright
Stuck again
Doing my thing
Too alike yet far apart
What felt so good once is breaking me
And tearing us apart again
Don`t you see
We`re in this together
You and me
One on one forever
Don`t you see
We`re in this together
You and me
One on one forever
I know it`s self-inflicted
We`re way too desperate
Way too addicted
But I can`t help the way I feel
I know it`s time to be strong
Now when all hope is gone
And when what felt so good once
Is breaking me
And tearing us apart again
Don`t you see
We`re in this together
You and me
One on one forever
Don`t you see
We`re in this together
You and me
One on one forever
And in your troubled eyes I see
Someone who carried me somehow
Like footprints in the sand
You`ve been behind me all along
We got it wrong from the start
Now it`s you and me
Let`s hit it on
Don`t you see it`s you and me
Against the world...
We`re in this together
You and me
One on one forever
Don`t you see
We`re in this together
You and me
One on one forever
