THE WOUNDED LYRICS

1. Wolves We Raised

I should have never left you here alone
In these times of trouble we should have see,
The dark times ahead of us.
I hope you won't inherit our hateful mind
Don't walk the dark paths we left behind
Just stay on the bright side.

You may all be praying, encouraged by light
It was only a wall to hide behind
You fought for us to save our lives.
In this time, in this time we can see,
you wanted us to know.

I saw them coming, they were right on time,
To witness the fall of all good we had in mind,
How did it come this far?
A flash and all was lost, the flames did come,
and they were bitter cold, we did this to ourselves...

You may all be fighting, encouraged by the light
That's all you had to hide behind,
You fought for us to save our life.
In this time, in this time we could be,
the ones you have set free.

I should have never left you here alone
In these times of trouble we should have see,
The dark wars were coming.
I hope you won't inherit our hateful mind
Remember the fire we left behind,
We did it to ourselves...

You may all be fighting, encouraged by the light
That's all you had to hide behind,
You fought for us to save our life.
In this time, in this time we can see,
that none of us were free...

2. This Paradise

Love, birth and other wonders,
The gifts we share each life...
This world where I found it all,
Does take children away from life.
This battle could not be won,
Each soldier left someone behind,
And I fear for the next Christmas, without you...

Paradise was brought down on it's knees today,
Close the curtains, turn out the lights...
Cause this play is over,
Let us drift into the night,
I would only be sitting here by myself, without you...

For each life that died, a falling angel,
God must be shaken on his knees...
For all he took away that day,
My faith could not be saved...

I believed in you,
And I miss you...
I still miss you,
I still believe in you...
I believed in you,
And I love you... I still love you,
I still believe in you...

I still do....

3. Mr. Faithful

The ghost that guarded my soul has fled from me
And left me here alone
What was once my tunnel of light became a stinking hole
A rotting conclusion of my life
And at my grave a priest for remembrance should have prayed
Under heroic flags I should have lain

And it makes me want to follow
The way you had in mind
I would hail you for your wisdom
If you would lay your hands in mine
Every minute that I’ve waited
Every hour that I’ve lived
No war would stop me from following you
Even peace can't keep me here

This shrunken shroud doesn’t fit me no more
I have betrayed my honesty
I cry in shame
This shrunken veil doesn’t fit me no more
Unrecognizable to my loved ones
I walk alone

This shrunken shroud doesn’t fit me no more
Unrecognizable to myself
I walk away

Where are the flowers, where is the light
Where is the grave that remembers my life
Where is the glory, where are the priests
Now rise your hands and let us get over with…
This life I lived. Was it your knife
Did it end my life. Was it your knife
Did it finish my life. Was it your knife
Did you end my life
Was it your knife

4. The Cold

The silence, the coldness
It’s the monster that we feared
When we fell down, into silence
It was the moment that we heard it
I remember what you told me
What you told to me when we danced
It were your last words
It was the last dance that we had

I feel you still, you’re holding me
I remember how you felt
How you promised, to hold me
To hold me until death
I remember what you told me
What you told me when we danced
I’m alive still
I’m alive still without you

You could bring upon me tears of joy
You raised me into light
I still see you in my dreams sometimes
The dreams in which we hide
I remember what you told me
What you said to me that night
You could fight no more…
You were dancing into the light…

In silence
In silence we will dance…

5. Kings

What the hell do you want from me
Is it this you want to see…
That I will fleet from all that is inside of me
Is it this what you want, man
Is it this what want to be
A childhood’s grave, that’s what I’ll be

What do you want from me
My faith in the hands of destiny
You escape, I escape from what I’ll be
I dream about the peace
I which we together should have been
And I laugh, a little lie for a bit more sympathy
I will wear this burning shame
And all I’ve done, another lie for a bit more sympathy
Yes, I will wear this

What the fuck do you want from me
Is it this what I have been
The child is dead in me
And it’s grave is what I’ll be
So what do I want now
Is it this what I will be
Can someone save me
Can someone save me from me…
Can someone save me, save me from me
Can I save you from me…

6. Homeless

Collateral so to speak, surpassed by aggression
We couldn’t reach those walls
We couldn’t break those walls
And when help came along, what did it do for us
Hope and screams, dope and dreams
We used to hide…

Reading between the scars, some could see the pain
House of crows, the darkness grows
And as we all moved on, we never really lived
We couldn’t walk away, we would have walked away
We used to hide…

We never really lived, we never talked
All the dreams we had, drowned in fear
And we never held hands, we never spoke
There is so much we have lost, so much to forgive
We used to hide…

7. Sunset

Frail angels, came across but couldn’t reach me so they left
I’m too much stuck, in this creature… in this zombie that I’ve became
But I see what is gone and I wish that to find again that what I need
The wars we fought, that made me hate you
But all I need is you to see me with your eyes
Yet you’re gone…
You have left me forever more…

Always trying to push you a little further more into this maze
I’ve killed my fears with alcohol, but the pain did never go
All these words you say are building bridges in my anger
So just stop playing me
No I won’t go any further, just forget me
I’ll be another name in your diary
Please shut up and just tell me when to go…
Just tell me when to go…
Tell me when to leave…

Bury me deep into the grounds of your life
Put me behind all the walls of your past
Forget all I’ve said and never remember a word
But don’t forget that what we had in these years
It was better over worse
It was better over worse
I’ll bet it will never get any worse
Then this

8. The Fallen

I met my fellow warriors in this great war
The good ones thought me how to grief right, the bad ones showed me how to hate
And in a way we all feared the same I think
Grief, faith and fear maybe (hate), they were all the same to me…

They took me to a place where I could see, the truth in you and me
When we thought we could change the world…
For the good within you and me…

Glory feeds on tragedies that we hide away in the subjective truth of time
Never to be told, for heroes we need to cover our wrongs
But in time they will burn just the same
When the smoke has learned only death and dust…. and pain
And the never really told us until years after this
Looking back….Evil wasn’t evil for real…
But just a bad choice… that wasn’t really a choice…
With blood red hate they wrote our names
We were fighting on the wrong side

They took me to a place where I could see, the truth in you and me
When we were young and full of greed
We thought that we could change the world
Did we trust too much on reason? And burned away our dreams?
The world however couldn’t see
That there was no honesty
And we did never really see
The truth for you and me…
It died with you and me

9. Ruins

We’re older
We’re elders of all this to come
From fathers to sons to new fathers
To teach them the future by seeing the past of all those before us
We raise them
We raise what we sow, we must fear it…
Cause we have been drawing their future
We need to fear all we teach them
Or they all fall down

I’m an outcome
Of the fears of the fathers before me
Subjective, the truth that we stand for
These cultural matters we die for
With hope I pray, that I can make a difference in this dark world
To make up the hurts that I spread once
To end with my crosses forgiven. In my children’s arms…

And I fell time is not on our side now
Yet all those I wish for are with me
Afraid I’ll be a thought left forgotten
Removed from the hearts of my loved ones
I live in submission
Of the fear to leave my children
Left to be forgotten. I don’t want to die…

An outcome
Of fears of the fathers we are now
Subjective, the truth that we fought for
Man made, the truth that we’ve killed for
In silence I dream that we did make a difference for the new world
To make up the hurts that we spread once
To end with our crosses forgiven. In our children’s arms
When silenced, we left them only ruins
We left them a past without answers
We were the lessons they never learned
We may all fall down
