SOILWORK LYRICS

1. Stabbing The Drama

My declaration hurts, just wanna stab it right now!
Congratulations, you've found yourself
Been preaching too many times to an hysterical mind
So won't you fucking behave yourself..
-It's all in there, without despair
So you've saved your soul?
-It always depends who will deliver
Have you ever known
Such a beautiful mind that gives you shelter

I'm waiting for something to show,
I might as well...
-Just drag me down so low

I'm down the drain and I've got nothing to fear
With a polluted mind
I had my share of losing
-Don't you ever cross that line
So you've saved your soul?
-It always depends who will deliver
Have you ever known
Such a beautiful mind that gives you shelter

Break the record, in a second, cherish your mental weapons
Watch the progress from an aspect that's stabbing the drama inside..

I'm waiting for something to show,
I might as well...
-Just drag me down so low
I'm waiting for something to show,
My punishment
For being down so low

I can't believe how it used to be,
Selfish minds were abusing me
Self pity and determined to crawl
Manipulation of a merciful soul

[Solo: Frenning]

I'm waiting for something to show,
I might as well...
-Just drag me down so low
I'm waiting for something to show,
My punishment
For being down so low

2. One With The Flies

Now I'm one with the flies
Rising up as the creature cries
Sucking up, breathing stops..
-For the very last time!

Can you see it, can you reach it,
As it climbs to the top of your spine
Such a healer, can't believe it
I'm left so far behind
Born to please, to release
Wide open and undefined
Crashing down in a velvet hall
Side by side
Narcotic-injected, erotic-respected
-It suits your kind, cause you're one with the flies
Can you feel it, can you cease it
As it crawls to the top of your spine
Such a healer, self redeemer
-I keep thinking that it seems like it's not fair..

(Reach out) And choke with me, reach out
Cause it's killing me..
Down! Bring down this sheer submission
Down! You know you have to bring it..
Down! Deranged from a mind pollution
Down! Pitch black but unrefined

Such a healer, can't believe it
I keep thinking that it seems like it's not fair...

(Reach out) And choke with me, reach out
Cause it's killing me..
Down! Bring down this sheer submission
Down! You know you have to bring it..
Down! Deranged from a mind pollution
Down!

Deceiver, believer -don't need you tonight
You've spilled enough blood, you've wasted my life..

[Solo: Wichers]

-You know you have to bring it..
Down! Bring down this sheer submission
Down! You know you have to bring it..
Down! Deranged from a mind pollution
Down! And screw that common sense..
Down! Fight back those limitations
Down! And screw that common sense!

3. Weapon Of Vanity

They play divine as immortal sons
Pulling triggers and then they switch and run
As long as you have nothing to add,
they run the show..
How? Can you get a single shot
with a life like that
So now, will you ever conclude
as it turns to a lack?
Deceivement, believe it...- Do you feel it flow?

-As a weapon of your vanity
They crave for a soulaching desire
(won't you play with me..)
As time's standing still, they've praised a liar

So now... -let me get a single minute of your precious time
So how... -do you feel now as the vanity
is easy to find?
Deceivement, believe it... - can you feel it grow?

They crave for a soulaching desire
(won't you play with me..)
As time's standing still, they've praised a liar

I swear, you're nothing like me
And it will never set you free
You won't be able to be down there alone
They fill you up til' you're ripped and torn
Your life is out there for disposal
Knocked out, before you're ready to leave
Cause I swear, you're nothing like me!

-As I reckon you insanity
They crave for a soulaching desire
(won't you play with me..)
As time's standing still, they've praised a liar

They crave for a soulaching desire
(won't you stay with me..)
As time's standing still, they've praised a liar

4. The Crestfallen

Don't question any lies,
There's no reason to find..
Another trip to cause a denial
Yet you're stripped and your hope is gone
Another trap for you to fall into
You swallow every threat that will enter your mind
Enter your mind!
A shadow just as dark as your past
Is leading the way through the web of desire
Healing all the wounds in your chest
Vengeance is rising...
Can I ever resolve, if it's a matter of time?

-Just remember..
Where you've spent your time
Can't respect all the tears you have cried
-Just remember..
How you've changed your life
Can't trace your fate with a pitiful crime..

Don't question any lies, there's no reason to find...
Another trip to cause a denial
Yet you're stripped and your hope is gone
Another trap for you to fall into..
Can I ever resolve, if it's a matter of do or die
Can I ever resolve, if it's a matter of time?

-Just remember..
Where you've spent your time
Can't respect all the tears you have cried
-Just remember..
How you've changed your life
Can't trace your fate with a pitiful crime..

There's no way you can dig much deeper
-if you think it's all right
assorting the right from the wrong ones,
that you have learned so well..
so well...

You're stuck, you can't remember
The light is turning dim, you're trapped
Although you've been there a thousand times
Before
You're stuck, you can't remember
The light is turning dim, you're trapped
Although you've been there a thousand times
Before

Crestfallen be thy name
Crestfallen be thy name

5. Nerve

Call it liberation or frustration,
As it hits like a bomb
Tearing you apart as you're first in line,
Entering the zone
Watch how it runs, a nerve wrecking resistance
Watch how it burns, a venomous script's getting formed
You've traveled a long way to get here
And now it's waking you up..

Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with a clear resolution
I'll state my case and never turn

Watch how it runs, watch how it burns
And it's all a deception
Break it and learn, there's no return
For a presence like mine..
You've traveled a long way to get here...
It's getting all so clear now, all the
Things I know
An elapse of conscious progress will last forevermore
My courageous insanity follows
An infinite time
I'll be attaching the world
On my shoulders
Without a look inside
Inside

Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with a clear resolution
I'll state my case and never turn

Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with a clear resolution

6. Stalemate

Just pick one and make it all come through
Infiltrated and fucked up for years
And now it just suddenly turns to you
In a second, in no time
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up
With the brand new sensation
I'll bring back what's mine
No, sense for sanity
No, sense for clarity
No, sense for dignity
Just ask once and it's coming straight to you
-Overrated and blinded by fear
Inspiration turns to dust as you've had your share
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up
With the illumination
I'll take back what's mine
No, sense for sanity
No, sense for clarity
No, sense for dignity

And I say (now gimme your best shot)
Wait a lifetime to pull it off
And I say (is that all that you've got?)
Wake up in no time and blow it off..

No use for frustration, if you can't get through
And you think your pride will do
To get to your spot
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up
With the brand new sensation
No, sense for sanity
No, sense for clarity
No, sense for dignity
No, sense for empathy
No, sense for sanity
Will stop you now..

And I say (now gimme your best shot)
Wait a lifetime to pull it off
And I say (is that all that you've got?)
Wake up in no time and blow it off..

Now gimme your best shot
Now gimme your best shot
Now gimme your best shot
Now gimme your best shot

Just pick one and make it all come through
Infiltrated and fucked up for years
And now it just suddenly turns to you
In a second, in no time
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up
With the brand new sensation
I'll bring back what's mine
I'll take back what's mine
No, sense for sanity
No, sense for clarity
No, sense for dignity

7. Distance

Can you please remind me where the fuck I've been
Cause I can't find it out you see
So return me to a vital place
From a distant observation
Corrosion of emotions
Is how you block your state
From scratch to revelation
It's all been there, bleeding for someone to dare
Extension of deceptions, brings you to your final collapse
Am I really an exception?

Is that your only entertainment? (Spoiling your desire)
To blow your minds on a one-way track
From a distance...

Building knowledge out of flexible existence
Hunt for adrenaline is staggering, grand lack of emotions
You'll never face conclusions, you'll get what you want
Am I really an exception?

Is that your only entertainment? (Spoiling your desire)
To blow your minds on a one-way track
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement (Sleeping in denial)
You're all wasting the time of your lives

Cold and crawling, you made it back
Fear is selling and your one with the fact
Counting the days for rebirth
Lost once again and how it hurts...

[Solo: Wichers]

Is that your only entertainment? (Spoiling your desire)
To blow your minds on a one-way track
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement (Sleeping in denial)
You're all having the time of your lives

(You're wasting...)
Is that your only entertainment? (You're wasting...)
To blow your minds on a one-way track
(You're wasting...)
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement (You're wasting...)
You're all wasting the time of your lives

8. Observation Slave

Find a piece of land,
A million demands
And try to make it once again
A piece of land,
To make it a plan,
Always trying to be one with the making
Waiting for a statement, how will I know
It wasn't my engagement, the scar just grows
Such a slave and a sucker for observation
Just let it pass, no questions asked
Decide and try to find, a step behind
A shape that will assure you how
The essence is defined, it takes no disguise
Don't wanna see yourself in no trouble
It comes to an end, with my trust in hand
Please let me stand

With all my perception, I let myself wait
From all the infection that comes in my way
Like a swarm...

Under pressure, too many times
I can barely fight it back
No intentions, no obsessions
That can change my mind

It comes to an end, with my trust in hand
Please let me stand

With all my perception, I let myself wait
From all the infection that comes in my way

This is my life and I'm still amazed
I should have turned and walked all over
This is my like and I've now prevailed
And reached my goal
This is my time cause it's all erased
This is my time and I'm turning to you
It makes me strive in a conscious way
But not alone...

[Solo: Frenning]

Confusing directions were running my state
From all the infection that comes in my way
With all my perception I let myself wait

9. Fate In Motion

I'm facing a trauma, it's crawling inside
Don't walk that line, don't take that ride
Conclusions will show me the sweetest pain
Don't walk that line, don't take that ride..
(And I can't move at all now)
What I can see now, I don't want anyone else to see
(And I can't move at all now)
It doesn't matter somehow, what it does to me

Feel how the journey's just begun
Heading for disaster
Formed through the night and it's all mine..

The game is too easy for me to just play
It steals the day, it steals the day
Dividing the image in possible ways
It steals the day, it steals the day
And I can't move at all now
And I can't move at all now
What I can hear now, I don't want anybody else to hear
It doesn't matter somehow, what it does to me

Feel how the journey's just begun
Heading for disaster
Formed through the night and it's all mine..

Feel how the journey's just begun
Heading for disaster
Formed through the night and it's all mine..

Just pull me out, I have nothing to fear
In front of my eyes, never to leave
What I can see now, I don't want anyone else to see
It doesn't matter somehow, what it does to me
What I can hear now, I don't want anybody else to hear
It doesn't matter somehow, what it does to me

10. Blind Eye Halo

I came here to justify, such a thing would never cross your mind
Those scars that you wear, seem like they lie and won't disappear
Once again you will cross that line, without reflection
Filthy and defined, information: dead to the nation

B, manic, L, cynic, I, auto, N, matic, D

Pretentious, every detail is built to get you through
An universal looking glass, information: dead to the nation

B, manic, L, cynic, I, auto, N, matic, D

What ever happened to you mind-fucking system
It's all so shattering, so battering to the core..
Watch that halo grow, on an everlasting lane
Such an animated pleasure-dome, doomed to carry infected flames

[Solo: Frenning, Wichers]

B, manic, L, cynic, I, auto, N, matic, D

11. If Possible

If possible just turn the page
And all you'll see remains the same
I wish I could blame it on a face without a name
In the center of the place I hate
There's no escape, that's what they say
Without a name..
I've vanished since the anger came

Bitterness, sums up the truth I swear
And I won't dread my time

I won't leave today..
As long as I can take the words you stake
No matter how the hell I make
The desperation go away
Without a name...

Bitterness, sums up the truth I swear
And I won't dread my time
Meaningless and unsincere
Hold back those tears, rewind..

Come to the point with an illusion
It's there but it's not a revolution
You'll bare what is not your responsibility
All that is left of what you used to be

Bitterness, sums up the truth I swear
And I won't dread my time
Meaningless and unsincere
Hold back those tears, rewind..

Hold back those tears, rewind..

12. Wherever Thorns May Grow

I'm gaining trust for a lifetime
Wherever thorns may grow
Bleeding wounds turn to prosperity
With a distinguished revolt
Better not fail with a guideline
Rather not to die with any seconds denied
Shelter runs by for the final time
Just take a step outside

Just stab the reason and make it bleed
(Stab it and watch it bleed)
It's becoming one with the guilt that you feel

Better take a look inside
Will you ever realize, the greatest effort ever known
Before you let the pain decide, run back and you'll only find
Resurrection through it all

Better start to deal with your tension
Rather not fade as you've gone through it all
Shelter turns blank without redemption
You're destined to make the call

You think it's time to just give it away
(Giving it back as you've failed)
Reconsider the vibe as you forget and forsake

Better take a look inside
Will you ever realize, the greatest effort ever known
Before you let the pain decide, run back and you'll only find
Resurrection through it all

I've got my mind made up
Shock, denial, anger, acceptance
I'll watch those demons drop
For my presence, for my sake

[Solo: Wichers]

Better take a look inside
Will you ever realize, the greatest effort ever known
Before you let the pain decide, run back and you'll only find
Resurrection through it all

13. Killed By Ignition

[Japanese bonus track]

Slowly slicing forward, into the flesh.
Incentive ways to enter the night.
Reality turns it's back on you,
A chance to get you through.
Burning, brighter than the sun,
Searching, to summon the suspicion.
It's getting harder to see,
Searching, for the killing ignition,
To fulfill what you need.

So, is it time to let it go?
All the pain that you have owned?
Unleash the crimson rebellion,
You'll never see, what I can see.

So, is it time to let it go,
All the pain that you have owned?
Revoke the burning ambition,
As you despise reality.

The enemy's sleeping silent, in your head.
He's not there to get you through.
Of all the bastards that ever intended to make you lose,
This is the one you can't fool.

I won't, reach a point of disaster.
I won't, neglect to think in distress.
I know, you've you got manic depression.
I know, you've faced on everything.

So, is it time to let it go?
All the pain that you have owned?
Unleash the crimson rebellion,
You'll never see, what I can see.

So, is it time to let it go,
All the pain that you have owned?
Revoke the burning ambition,
(As you despise) As you despise reality.

So, is it time to let it go?
All the pain that you have owned?
Unleash the crimson rebellion,
You'll never see, what I can see.

So, is it time to let it go,
All the pain that you have owned?
Revoke the burning ambition,
As you despise reality.
