THE MURDER OF MY SWEET LYRICS

1. Hell On Earth

"Humans, Humans think they are free
It's an illusion.
If they only knew the real truth,
No one would work, eat or sleep.
Blind as bats they live their lives in their perfect homes,
Fully convinced that hell simply does not exist.
A trick of course is that I'm the proof of it.
Me?
I'm just a drifter.
Can a simple petal of a daisy decide my faith??
He loves me.
He loves me not..."

2. The Awakening

Revolution, war or rapture never bother thee
The second coming is just a tale to rock a child to sleep
Politicians, lawyers, all the scum of earth they sing
For good, for bad
In life, in death

God sees all
Though it's dark
Why won't you obey?
Please go back to Hell

I just came out of Hell
Without a soul to celebrate in me
I can barely walk
But misery loves company

It's wet and cold up here
Another dump compiled of souls in fear
Did I leave for this?
Must be more than what's out here

And I laugh
At their pitiful faces
When they cry
Seems so lost and small

The awakening
Burning halo winds
Fallen angels dream
Of a new regime
The arisen will thrive
In the arms of the rite
The awakening
Bad intentions bliss
Like a winter kiss
So unraveling
I'm awake and it's time
For your heart to be mine

And so my quest begins
Must find a way to end my suffering
Get to Michael's court
Feel the love in heavens kiss

And I laugh
At their pitiful faces
When they cry
Seems so lost and small

The awakening
Burning halo winds
Fallen angels dream
Of a new regime
The arisen will thrive
In the arms of the rite
The awakening
Bad intentions bliss
Like a winter kiss
So unraveling
I'm awake and it's time
For your heart to be mine

A part of me is still okay
A pretty little bird all caged
I'll do whatever it may take
Move mountains if they're in my way
A part of me is still okay
A pretty little bird all caged
I'll do whatever it may take
I'm starting war to end one
Waiting for the raven call

Waiting for the raven call

The awakening
Burning halo winds
Fallen angels dream
Of a new regime
The arisen will thrive
In the arms of the rite
The awakening
Bad intentions bliss
Like a winter kiss
So unraveling
I'm awake and it's time
For your heart to be mine

3. World In Ashes

"The great dragon, little horn is looking for me.
Must I obey?
What does they serpent say?"

Like He walked on water
I can make this land dry
He turned blind into seeing
I'll show them all, the wrath of the sun
Burn their homes to the ground

Desperately cutting corners
Painting deep blood red skies
This inferno grows colder
A cheap sacrifice
Right where I stand
Raising castles of sand

Monstrously I'll light these matches
Handsomely a word in ashes
Lost in the void when your eyes locked on mine
I brought a candle to this world
You blew it out within a minute
I'm used to living in the dark
But everyone has got their limits
Shame on me for longing for the sun

In a land of the furious
I will sow the first seeds
While the tree's growing taller
The apple is there out of my reach
Teasing my undying greed

Monstrously I'll light these matches
Handsomely a word in ashes
Lost in the void when your eyes locked on mine
I brought a candle to this world
You blew it out within a minute
I'm used to living in the dark
But everyone has got their limits
Shame on me for longing for the sun

Do you fear the dark as I fear the living?
Will the lies unfold?
Will you stop believing?

Let the world burn
All around me
Just say the word
Pyromaniac love

The sun will set as I begin to fall
Asleep like this winter
I'm cold
Falling through the darkness
Waiting

Monstrously I'll light these matches
Handsomely a word in ashes
Lost in the void when your eyes locked on mine
I brought a candle to this world
You blew it out within a minute
I'm used to living in the dark
But everyone has got their limits
Shame on me for longing for

The sun will set as I begin to fall
Asleep like this winter
I'm cold
Falling through the darkness
Waiting

4. Always The Fugitive

"Waiting, it's a lonely woman's curse"

I'm writing cliché poems for a lonely tune
But I'm not ready to show how I really feel
I spend my days with crows and my nights are blue
Every part of my body wants to be in tune
Maybe it all can be forgotten
Maybe it took the best of me
That's all I've ever known
It's all I've ever known

I kind of took a storm and made a hurricane
Pretty little heart bang
I got rid of it
A silly metaphor tried to ruin my dream
One more needle in my voodoo doll it seems
Maybe it's all in the abundance
Maybe it's stuck inside of me

I don't want to be always the fugitive
I don't want to go sorry for everything
As hard as it can be I must face my worst enemy
I don't want you to pity me
While I kiss the crows goodnight

I'm going coast to coast to find a lonely beach
Every wave is like a slap on my tender skin
The sun is terrible it does not fit me
I'm a lady porcelain molded perfectly
And when it all comes down in pieces
I am the only mending me
I've had to bend the rules
Nobody cares but me

I don't want to be always the fugitive
I don't want to go sorry for everything
As hard as it can be I must face my worst enemy
I don't want you to pity me
While I kiss the crows goodnight

I should have never turned the pages
But logic is no friend of mine, don't think before I act
Failure is a fact
But only one thing leaves me breathless
A vampire gazing at the sun
Ashes turned to dust
How I'd wish to join you there
When darkness greets the sun
At the blink of dawn

I don't want to be
I don't want to go

I don't want to be always the fugitive
I don't want to go sorry for everything
As hard as it can be I must face my worst enemy
I don't want you to pity me
While I kiss the crows goodnight

5. Bitter Love

"God fears evil has returned to earth.
As a guardian of light I'm sent to intervene,
for the balance must not be disturbed.
Protecting petty people who don't believe,
who don't know how to love...
takes its toll."

[Michael:]
I was a preacher
Traveled coast to coast with God's embrace
Cared for the weaker
Shedding light and love in evil ways
But there's just something about her darkness

[Beth:]
I'm such a sinner
I was born through fire
Drinking flames
I can't remember ever looking for another way
But there's just something about his glory

I fear my heart has gone to war
A pilgrim searching for a distant shore
Don't want to fight
Don't want to fall
No way to stop
Nowhere to go

Bitter love, bitter love
Spider bite, the venom makes us stronger
Bitter love, bitter love
Kingdom come with twenty lashes for us
Such is our love

[Michael:]
My heart is burning
Can I save her from the dark embrace?

[Beth:]
Blizzards and yearning
Can I make him turn from Heaven's grace?

[Both:]
How far is far enough for treason?

I fear my heart has gone to war
A pilgrim searching for a distant shore
Don't want to fight
Don't want to fall
No way to stop
Nowhere to go

Bitter love, bitter love
Spider bite, the venom makes us stronger
Bitter love, bitter love
Kingdom come with twenty lashes for us
Such is our love

Such tangled web you weave
How wicked it must seem

[Beth:]
Hide by the curtains
A window to the ghost of you
My heart is burning
My heart is burning

With the wrath of God
I'll strike you down, you dragon's crowned
I'll make you pay the price for what you've done
Go back where you belong

[Beth:]
You'll strike me down
Done for you
I don't want to fight

"But this task is not in vain,
as down on earth there is a familiar rein.
Friend or foe?
Who knows?
I vaguely remember that black September."

6. Still

"Michael, Michael?
Wake up, wake up!"

I, I need you to believe
I need you to see all of me
Wide awake
No secrets no illusions
As I lay awake at night
I remember you

We were shadows in the night
Dancing to a lullaby
You and I
Like there's no tomorrow
As I lay awake at night

I remember you
Skin as white as Christmas
Who wouldn't fall so deep in love?
Darling I can't help it
Your love's a trap
The Pied Piper of my heart

A part of me is still okay
I never knew it hurt this way
So shed a little light on me
I'm holding still
I'm hoping still
A part of my will still obey
It should have never been this way
So twist my little heart of steel
It lost a beat
I lost the bet
Or so you say

I'm, I'm calm before the storm
I'm restless like an autumn leaf
As autumn leaves
An equinox intrusion
As I lay awake at night

I remember you
Skin as white as Christmas
Who wouldn't fall so deep in love?
Darling I can't help it
Your love's a trap
The Pied Piper of my heart

A part of me is still okay
I never knew it hurt this way
So shed a little light on me
I'm holding still
I'm hoping still
A part of my will still obey
It should have never been this way
So twist my little heart of steel
It lost a beat
I lost the bet
Or so you say

Will this curse last forever?
I kind of wish it will

Please forgive my thoughtless deeds
I only wished to see your face
Once again
The Pied Piper of my heart

A part of me is still okay
I never knew it hurt this way
So shed a little light on me
I'm holding still
I'm hoping still
A part of my will still obey
It should have never been this way
So twist my little heart of steel
It lost a beat
I lost the bet
Or so you say

I'm going down a one way street
Like new world order
I came, I saw, I conquered
Got away with murder
Make me heartless
Lord make me stop
Make me numb

Floating on silk cloud lines
A feather from your wing falls
I'm a reborn sinner
Still I am still, steel, still

7. The Humble Servant

He made me rough
he made me strong
my heart is carved out of stone,
can't change it

You say my name
you sing me songs
how can I tell you
without you leaving?

I've tried so hard
my lungs are burning
from the strain
I guess my nature
works against me,
aim to fail

I'll never be the hero
I'll never be the humble servant
don't you mix me with your kind
I could never shine

I'll never be the hero
I'll always be
the fearful soldier
Dancing from the
strings he tied
standing in his prime
listen to me now

I'll tell you lies
drive you insane
he told me how to
twist minds
and break them

I should be rough
I should be strong
How come your touch
feels so soft and tender?

I've tried so hard
my lungs are burning
from the strain
I guess my nature
works against me,
aim to fail

I'll never be the hero
I'll never be the humble servant
don't you mix me with your kind
I could never shine

I'll never be the hero
I'll always be
the fearful soldier
Dancing from the
strings he tied
standing in his prime
listen to me now

Listen to me now

If you'd find out
would you turn the other cheek?
Leave me to drown?
With my lies to drag me deeper
So help me
I can't breathe
I don't know how to live without you now
you know
I'll never be the hero

I'll never be the hero
I'll never be the humble servant
don't you mix me with your kind
I could never shine

I'll never be the hero
I'll always be
the fearful soldier
Dancing from the
strings he tied
standing in his prime
listen to me now

I'll never be the hero
I'll never be the hero
the hero...

8. Requiem For A Ghost

"Hhaa... wait a minute.
I know that face!"

Michael:
Hey I remember vaguely
Shame, I may be mistaken
But you were in my dreams
I know you as it seems

[Both:]
Hey on the 27th
Say, we were up in Heaven

[Michael:]
A chill came over me

[Beth:]
You know me as it seems

[Both:]
From this nightmare

Gargoyles smile, they're pets of evil
Locust swarms are gathering
Careful as you watch where you step
The world will hold its breath

I've been waiting a lifetime

This odyssey seems eternal
Forbidden fruit ruins the order

Time after time repeating mistakes
Wasting away like tears in rain
He will be mine
Come rain or shine
I've been waiting a lifetime

So here we are again
One pure and one condemned
We shouldn't have come this far
But little did we know then
We're from worlds apart
I'm ready to give up
Surrendering all to you
Forget about my legacy for you
Please meet me half way there

Who watches the watcher?
Who makes the rules up there?

You own the light
I own the creatures of the night
The sing Hosanna to the sound
Of a requiem for a ghost
13:18 you seek the answer in between
Within the lullaby you sing
It's a requiem for a ghost
A requiem for a ghost

It may not be too clear
What I've done I've done for you
The wrath was just a game
Now finally you see me
In the darkest night
You seem so far away
Is something on your mind?
Two wrongs don't make a right
The world needs you
But I need you much more

Who watches the watcher?
Who makes the rules up there?

You own the light
I own the creatures of the night
The sing Hosanna to the sound
Of a requiem for a ghost
13:18 you seek the answer in between
Within the lullaby you sing
It's a requiem for a ghost
A requiem for a ghost

A penny for your thoughts

I've been waiting a lifetime
Our father in heaven

Hallowed be the name of
Your kingdom, your glory
Forgive us, forgive us
Thy will be done, but first he will be mine

Do you fear the dark as I fear the living?
Will the lies unfold
For good, for bad
In life, in death
For good, for bad
In life, with me you'll be free

Time after time repeating mistakes
Wasted away like tears in the rain
Time after time
The world in my hands

Who watches the watcher?
Who makes the rules up there?

[Michael:]
I own the light
You own the creatures of the night
They sing Hosanna to the sound

You own the light
I own the creatures of the night
The sing Hosanna to the sound
Of a requiem for a ghost
13:18 you seek the answer in between
Within the lullaby you sing
It's a requiem for a ghost
A requiem for a ghost

I've been waiting a lifetime

[Michael:]
Hey I remember slightly
Shame it was all too swiftly

[Beth:]
'Cause I was in your dreams
You know me as it seems
From your nightmares

9. Euthanasia

"Listen to them, listen to them.
If you're real why don't you just show yourself?
Thank god I'm here."

I can't just watch while he makes wine of water
You poor sweet humans wait for miracles
He never should have lied
He should have lead you straight to slaughter
It' be a quicker liberation
Why prolong it?
Euthanasia

I'm never going to food you
An angel of the underground
In Hell we tell the truth
But I need to have your signature in blood
I'm always going to love you
The devil praise your sacrifice
The darkness can be cruel
Hear the bells ring for your souls like clockwork
They never ring for mine
I will ring the bells of Hell to lure you down

He claims you are his sheep and he's your shepherd
In that way you are easier to control
He never should have lied
He should have lead you straight to slaughter
It' be a quicker liberation
Why prolong it?
Euthanasia

I'm never going to food you
An angel of the underground
In Hell we tell the truth
But I need to have your signature in blood
I'm always going to love you
The devil praise your sacrifice
The darkness can be cruel
Hear the bells ring for your souls like clockwork
They never ring for mine
I will ring the bells of Hell to lure you down

Hosanna, Hosanna
Euthanasia

I'm never going to food you
An angel of the underground
In Hell we tell the truth
But I need to have your signature in blood
I'm always going to love you
The devil praise your sacrifice
The darkness can be cruel
Hear the bells ring for your souls like clockwork
They never ring for mine
I will ring the bells of Hell to lure you down

He never should have lied
He never should have lied
He never should have

10. Tide After Tide

[Michael:]
As I walk through the valley of shadow and death
I will not be afraid of evil, not a chance
How can humans be so, so damn monstrous?
All this death and for what?
God does not keep score
So I say screw them

At the moment of death
What thoughts went through their heads?
I would give anything to see their live flash by
Who were greeted above?
And who were sent straight down?
I bet it was a surprise to them
As God does not save all
So I say screw them

[Beth:]
Who are we to judge the merciful, the horrible?
What gives us the right to save a life, to take a life?
Who granted us the roll of a dice?

[Michael:]
Tide after tide

Shouldn't you be here instead?
Cleaning your own damn mess
I can barely carry on
So you beg for second chance
Praying for miracles
I can't bear the heavy load

[Beth:]
Who are we to judge the merciful, the horrible?
What gives us the right to save a life, to take a life?
Who granted us the roll of a dice?

[Michael:]
Tide after tide

[Beth:]
Who are we to judge them?

11. Poets By Default

"Beth this is not the way, the balance must not stray.
Careful where you tread.
You're no use to me dead."

Do I have to play the villain?
Just to make the hero appear
The only way to make you listen
Through destruction and despair
How many earthquakes will it take?
Or destruction of this land
Should I make a new Sahara?
Dry the rivers, slay the lambs?

I'm going to tear it down
I'll burn it to the ground
Hand picking rotten souls

I'm pinning down the sinners
The heroes without a cause
Serving them frozen dinners
With candles and broken hearts
Play them songs without a rhythm
While they're dancing in the dark
Down here we all are poets by default
Poets by default

I could keep you in my prison
Singing lullabies for you
From His ashes I've arisen
Standing here in front of you

I'm going to tear it down
I'll burn it to the ground
Hand picking rotten souls

I'm pinning down the sinners
The heroes without a cause
Serving them frozen dinners
With candles and broken hearts
Play them songs without a rhythm
While they're dancing in the dark
Down here we all are poets by default
Poets by default

Waiting for the winter bane
You're the poison in my veins
Fly dragonfly
Through rain or shine
Don't fear the end
I will make new wings for you
Fly, fly, fly...

So tell the Devil I am

Pinning down the sinners
The heroes without a cause
Serving them frozen dinners
With candles and broken hearts
Play them songs without a rhythm
While they're dancing in the dark
Down here we all are poets by default
Poets by default

I'm going to tear it down
I'll burn it to the ground
Hand picking rotten souls
Rotten souls

12. Heaven Succumb

"Desecration, abomination, all in the name of salvation."

Heaven succumb, heaven succumb

They say our love is an infection
Call it a plague and a curse
We've caused the wrath of a nation
Angered the gods
Played them for fools

Cast the first stone you who've never loved!
He without sin be the judge of us
Surrender to me

Heaven succumb
Let the snake in your garden seduce you once more
Have you tasted the apples will rot
A bad taste in your mouth holy water won't cure
What a day for submission
As the black rain is ripping your soul

The almighty light against darkness
The epic battle of all
No one can win by this union
They can't have that
But opposites attract

Cast the first stone you who've never loved!
He without sin be the judge of us
Surrender to me

Heaven succumb
Let the snake in your garden seduce you once more
Have you tasted the apples will rot
A bad taste in your mouth holy water won't cure
What a day for submission
As the black rain is ripping your soul

The day will come
You will beg for my heart
Even though it's so cold
Careful for I'm fragile
Look at my skin broken

We are the victims of holy betrayal
Heaven Succumb
Black rain is hiding you horns and your tail
Heaven succumb
Never succumb, never succumb
Surrender to me

Heaven succumb
Let the snake in your garden seduce you once more
Have you tasted the apples will rot
A bad taste in your mouth holy water won't cure
What a day for submission
As the black rain is ripping your soul

Never succumb, never succumb...

13. Means To An End

"The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command,
With the voice of an archangel,
And with the sound of the trumpet of God."

Save your sheep if you can
Shelter the lonely and pray for the damned
Watch their fear settle in
Mountains of fire and pain crashing in on you

Sinners gather in thick
I'll show you Mother Nature's a bitch
My tears, hailstorms and nails
I'll send a cyclonic storm full of acid rain
For you

Set aside the grace of god
Finding righteousness through law
The little and the lost
Find comfort in my cause

Your cross burns the flesh of the heathen
King or slave all succumb
They're marked
Ain't no rest for the wicked
Greet the reaper
It's the end of the world
Let the rivers be red again
It's the means to an end
If I can't have you no one will
Burn, burn, burn fools

Pray your humans can swim
Watch how they drown when my flood's setting in
I"ll turn day into night
You suffered the Black Death well you ain't seen nothing you
Oh no
Reeking pits in the dark
I will collect all the souls for my cause
Turning man into beast
Halos to shackles and wings into heaps of coal
For you

Set aside the grace of god
Finding righteousness through law
The little and the lost
Find comfort in my cause

Your cross burns the flesh of the heathen
King or slave all succumb
They're marked
Ain't no rest for the wicked
Greet the reaper
It's the end of the world
Let the rivers be red again
It's the means to an end
If I can't have you no one will
Burn, burn, burn fools

Leaders of the world
Guardians of the earth
Spirits of the land
Will you lend a hand?
No one escapes!
Leaders of the world
Guardians of the earth
Spirits of the land
Will you lend a hand?
No one survives!

[Michael:]
Sweetheart this ain't the way
You leave me no choice but to treat you with pain
I will fight to the end
I wasn't brought up to do any less, be warned

Beth: I strike
Michael: My heart
Beth: I burn
Michael: My soul
Beth: I'll smite the cowardness in you
Michael: I thought I had God on my side
Beth: Darkness is always stronger than light
Michael: I'm blind
Beth: Thank God
Michael: I'm dying
Beth: If I can't have you no one will
Both: As we are falling through the clouds
Beth: I've got you dying in my arms
Can't carry this burden
Why have I done this to you?
It's too late for sad regrets

I'm awakening
While you slip away
One last breath my dear
Then you'll disappear
The archangel will die
In my arms
I have won

You'll always be the hero
The one and only
I guess you could have saved my soul
Now we'll never know

Monstrously your God is speechless
Carelessly he falls to pieces
So much for your guardian angel now

What can I tell you?
The tables have turned
Your time to compose a requiem for a ghost

I own the light
And all the creatures of the night
They chant Hosanna 'till they're numb
This is it my kingdom come

Your cross burns the flesh of the heathen
King or slave all succumb
They're marked
Ain't no rest for the wicked
Greet the reaper
It's the end of the world
Let the rivers be red again
It's the means to an end
If I can't have you no one will
Burn, burn, burn fools

Burn, burn, burn fools

[Michael:]
I was bound for the valley of shadow of death
But God has woken me up and now He wants revenge

[Beth:]
No! It can't be true! No it can't be true

What give you the right to save his life, and wrong my right?
Don't let her take my life
Don't let her wrong be right
You don't possess the art to take life

[Michael:]
Famous last words

Everything has to end, everything dies

The sun will set as I begin to fall
Asleep like this winter
I'm cold
Falling through the dark
Dying

"He loves me. He loves me not..."
