VON HERTZEN BROTHERS LYRICS

1. Bring Out The Sun (So Alive)

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Mikko von Hertzen]

Bring out the Sun to shine on everyone
When our minds have lost their hope and vigor
Our hearts shall overcome

Bring out the Sun to shine on everyone
When our dreams have all begun to wither
And we feel we’re overrun

Everyone, bring out your Sun!

So, after waiting for the darkness to let go of me
I know, as the zenith’s getting closer, I know
I will have to catch your light before you go

So, I am radiating unless you let go of me
Oh no, I hope my S.O.S.’s from the other shore
Will make you wait until I feel your rays once more

Every pore, in the core I’m feeling so alive, so alive
Alive!
When I’m yours, once more I’m feeling so alive
Alive!

Everyone, bring out your Sun!

2. Spanish 411

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Mikko von Hertzen / Kie von Hertzen]

She came along down in Quezaltenango
April 11th '99
I'd been driven by my worried mind
Through these strange lands towards
Something I couldn't quite define

Her Spanish eyes full of sorrow
Yet whole being so divine
Oh, that night, that night
I felt free and her appearance felt like a sign

The second she was to leave
I felt the earth tremble, stars assemble
And the shimmering sky fall crashing down
And I heard somebody speak
With my own voice
Asking for some light for a cigarette
Of a special northern kind

I mean, how could I have been so blind?

Every single minute was ablaze with our fire
That burned through the night rushing by
We were one, oh and she was destined to become
The Love, Love of my life

I wanted her along
So I went for my guitar and played a love song
And I tried and I tried to convince her to follow
But she said:
“No, If you gotta leave, you're gonna leave all alone”

I could never ever leave
You made my earth tremble
My insurmountable walls come crashing down
She told me not to speak

And without a word she put flowers in her hair
And like a waft of air

She took her love elsewhere
Oh, my Love!
All I see in every woman
All I see in every man
A conspiracy to shatter our “stars-written-plan”

Together, Forever
I will catch our stars and wake their shine
Together, Forever
Gonna find you and make you mine

We never met again
The way it was meant to be
Oh no, nor did we ever see
The fulfillment of our destiny

And I can't find a place
To stand, to sit, to crawl to
'Cause your spell under which I surely fell
Did never leave me girl, never left me alone

Now, I'm trying to live without your love
In this hazy flow
The wasted years are passing by in an endless row

If these are the days to exhaust my faith in us
I won't give in
I'm hanging by this thread
We're lovers in my head
Till the graveyard is our bed

3. Freedom Fighter

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Mikko von Hertzen]

The parting day
His mothers prayers
Send him on his way
His way to

Invade, destroy and fall
This is what they called him for
‘Freedom fighter’

It’s only natural
This is what his life is for
‘Freedom fighter’

A far-off place
With none to turn to
He drops his face and prays:

Dear mister jesus,
Or someone who sees us
They’re not our neighbors and
You’re not their savior

Will he live tomorrow?
Will this last forever?
There’s only death and sorrow!
Is it just too late?
Late?

Invade destroy and fall
This is what the war is for
‘Freedom fighter’

It’s only natural
This is what he’s dying for
‘Freedom fighter’

4. Somewhere In The Middle

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Kie von Hertzen / Mikko von Hertzen]

You got lost somehow
But I'm here for you now
My child, your wings are all broken
But you're breathing

There's no one but you
To decide whether to
Give in or fight your way through to
Know the meaning
If not taken away

You said, that all the people are hanging on
To their dreams but yours is gone
And so there's nothing here for you to believe in
And the demons in your head are not retreating

But I say

Yeio!
You're somewhere in the middle of the rain but your sun
Yeio!
Is waiting at the horizon till the pain has gone
To paint your sky with rainbows

I wish I could be, I wish I could be like a rainbow
Bringing a smile on your face
I'll keep you warm and I'll keep you safe
When the light tries to escape from your eyes

How I wish you could see
I wish you could feel and believe in
In my love that awaits you everywhere
Darling, everywhere you go somehow I will know

'Cause we're just people trying to hold on
Each one of us on our own
Still we're not alone; no we're not alone
We're all face to face with the great unknown

Yeio!
We're somewhere in the middle of the rain but our sun
Yeio!
Is waiting at the horizon for us broken ones to see us come
Yeio!
We're somewhere in the middle and the way seems long
Yeio!
But every step ahead will take us closer some

For the life to
Finally, finally
Mend what we've become

For the love to
Finally, finally
Make us feel as one

We're somewhere in the middle of…

Yeio!
You're somewhere in the middle of the rain
But your sun
Yeio!
Is waiting at the horizon till the
Pain has gone, gone away
Yeio!
You're somewhere in the middle of the rain
And this song
Yeio!
Is for you my beautiful broken one

5. In The End

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Mikko von Hertzen]

I’m awake in my cell on a sleepless night
And my faith in this hell is a cheerless sight
Brighten, brighten, I need you here
Lighten, lighten, don’t disappear

My fate in the stars of the Saturn sky
And my days never far from it’s evil eyes
Fighting, fighting, in the rain and cold
Somehow surviving because I know

In the end
You’ll save me
No matter if I can’t be found
In the end
You’ll make me
A ladder to get back on the ground

In the end, in the end death can’t take me
‘Cause the reaper cannot bear the sound
Of Your name

Now I know how it feels to see the darkness as my own
And now I know how the seeds become trees where they are sown
I fell into a well and abandoned all my hope
But now I know how to tell between a snake and a rope

In the end
You’ll save me
No matter if I can’t be found
In the end
You’ll make me
A ladder to escape from this round
In the end, in the end death can’t take me
‘Cause I could never let You down
No, I could never let You down

In the end
You’ll save me
No matter if I can’t be found
In the end
You’ll make me
A ladder to escape this merry-go-round
In the end, in the end death can’t take me
‘Cause I could never let You down
In the end

6. Faded Photographs

Somewhere
Under your everyday restraint
Hides a faint
Echo of laughter
From the hereafter
From an existence known to be true
A voice is warning you

Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs
They're colors on paper that won't last

Someday
You'll see the truth in it
And though your life goes on
Like a story
Or a movie
You're acting the scenes like one with no clue
Of what lies in store for you

Just don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs
They're colors on paper that won't last

Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs
They're colors on paper that won't last

Like the wind you can expand yourself to be free
Like the waves you'll understand that you are the sea

Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs
'Cause even the treasured ones won't last

Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs
They're colors on paper that won't last

The life in your faded photographs
Is color on paper that won't last

The life in your faded photographs
Has colors on paper that won't last

7. Silver Lover

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Mikko von Hertzen]

Not even silent northern winds to bring relief
There’s no movement or a breeze
No sign of water, my desert barely breathes

My swollen eyes can’t see a clear direction to go
I’ve been left, right, north, south, above and below
The devil is amused enjoying this show

But you don’t look my way
You don’t look my way

Ever since you went away I’ve been here on my own
All I ask is a glance, I’m sure you know

If you look this way
If you look my way
I can feel the rain has come
Feel the rain has come

My silver lover, come and cover me
With your kisses from the sea

Wash my eyes and show to me a clear direction to go
I’ve been left, right, north, south, above and below
The devil is a fool whose cover you can blow
All I ask is a glance, I’m sure you know

If you look this way
If you look my way
I can feel the rain has come
Feel the rain has come

You’re the rain
Your eyes never fail
Your gracious eyes
Your eyes…

Rain, waiting for the rain
Waiting for Love
Rain
Rain, waiting for the rain
Long awaited rain

8. I Came For You

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Mikko von Hertzen]

As happiness left you dry
As peaceful depths gave no reason for a cry
I came for you
I came for you

Leave your soul in my hands
My control

‘Cause I’m the guard of your gold
And I’m the God of the myths that you’ve been told
I came for you

There’s no way I relent
I’ll stay here until you repent
Yes, I’ll stay here until you repent

I know your pain and despair will take you there
I came for you

Every mistake is a leap
Every heartache a jewel to keep
Failure the most precious one
Don’t try to run,
Your time has come!

For your last endeavor…
- are you ready now?
For Love that lasts forever…
- are you ready now?
To stop your heart from burning…
- are you ready now?
From here there’s no returning…
- are you ready now?
For the final journey…
- are you ready now?
To find the end for yearning…
- are you ready now?

9. The Willing Victim

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Mikko von Hertzen]

Air in her hands
Her will begins to bend
Couldn’t imagine
A more tragic end

Fear, penetrative like a knife
Feeding on the dying vapors of life
Her breathing is fading
I’m failing again

Morning rain
Is just the same
As my tears on her grave
True to her Love that remains
Without a name, without a face
Like the air in the space
Pure as her sacred embrace

Morning rain
Is just the same
As my tears on her grave
Trying to reach underground
Will she forgive me the next time around?

I’m feeling out of place
I’m lost without a trace
My life is torn
I’m burned
I never really learned
That no one in this world
Can ever be compared to her

She showed it once again
Her Calling never ends
She’s bearing through all times
The burden of our crimes
Her Love remains the same
And her Love will save our lives
