Lyrics by [Linderel]

Don't cry (when I'm gone)

Are you there?
I think I heard you calling
my name across the river
your feelings bare
But I'm going, yeah
I'm going now

CHORUS:
Hey, darling
don't you cry when I'm gone
after all I was just
another shadow before the sun

So do you know
what's behind that horizon?
I can't sleep
I've gone too deep
my actions beyond redemption
Can't forget while I'm here

CHORUS

The ship'll be away soon
and I just want you to know
that my heart is bonded
with the crystal lagoon
of the tears you've shed
all because of me

CHORUS









Ablaze

A:  Dancing on the street

   in the middle of the staring crowd

   I look stupid, I know

   but it makes me feel so proud

   this feeling of absolute freedom



A1:  I'm hoping against all odds

   that you would finally see me

   so, yeah, I'm losing my touch

   and my frail grip on reality



CHORUS:

   In my life there's one thing sure

   I'm just your ordinary girl

   completely plain and dull

   But this music makes me beautiful

   yeah, it makes me feel alive



A2:  Most of the time

   I really don't feel like smiling

   but when I'm with you and hear these songs

   I'm sure I could rise high, flying



CHORUS x 2



C:  I have a rhythm in my blood

   this voice was made to sing

   For a moment, forget everything

   and let me take you with me

   to a world somewhere far above







The music of the pyre

CHORUS:

   She burns

   she burns so bright

   and in the dark of the night

   her screams of terror haunt me



A1:

   Another day

   another prayer

   endless long hours of hiding in fear

   too many people

   who have seen what you are



repeat CHORUS



A2:

   Another night

   another victim to the pyre

   Will it ever stop

   will you see tomorrow?

   And you hear it



repeat CHORUS



A3:

   Knocking at your door

   they're here, you know

   with their torches and blades

   and mad, mad eyes

   And you run



repeat CHORUS x 2



   But you already know the truth





Red Suitcase

CHORUS:
     The red suitcase and the
     blue suede shoes
     I'm on the road again

A1:
     Searching for my soul
     in hidden crooks, shadowy corners
     I can't seem to find myself
     and when the moon is my only company
     I feel like I'll break and fade
     Don't know where I'm going
     don't know where I'll be when tomorrow comes
     if it comes at all

A2:
     You call, but I hang up
     can't bear to face you today
     Do you believe that my heart is aching
     to see you run and hide
     every day from my eyes
     I know it's hard to be with me
     but I just can't stay anymore

CHORUS:
     The red suitcase and the
     blue suede shoes
     I'm on the road again

A3:     
     I'm on the road again
     (red suitcase and blue suede shoes)
     I'm on the road again

     (red suitcase)
     (blue suede shoes)
     on the road again

     on the road again

     I think I'm going home






Made immortal, soulmates in sorrow
Written for and inspired by [Teufelsweib]

CHORUS:
     We should have been
     made immortal
     soulmates in sorrow
     our legend passing down
     to the children of tomorrow

A1:
     As we laid down on the grass
     side by side, facing the sun
     for the very last time
     I couldn't help but feel
     this piercing, poignant agony

     I had my answer from you
     a long time ago
     and I can't say
     why it's so hard for me
     to let it go

CHORUS:
     We should have been
     made immortal
     soulmates in sorrow
     our legend passing down
     to the children of tomorrow

A2:
     It was your smile
     that once captured me
     so innocent, somehow
     yet I knew you would be
     impossible to control

     Like one of those plays
     we used to read, remember
     like Romeo and Juliet
     it's how I think of us
     now when all is over

CHORUS:
     We should have been
     made immortal
     soulmates in sorrow
     our legend passing down
     to the children of tomorrow

A3:
     Only for you, my love
     I would give up
     all of my façades
     but it just wasn't enough
     no, not enough

     You were like the wind
     never still, never calm
     but I still wait for you to come
     miraculously, somehow
     from wherever you've gone


CHORUS:
     We should have been
     made immortal
     soulmates in sorrow
     our legend passing down
     to the children of tomorrow

C:
     But now I lie here alone
     listening to the night
     and remembering you
     how you touched me, so deeply
     yet never stayed to say

     You never stayed to say
     good night
