VON HERTZEN BROTHERS LYRICS

1. Miracle

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

I was banging on the door when I came to realize
I would need a miracle to get a taste of paradise

I used to get very very lonesome
And jealous of everyone else who was playing in the rain
And I never really came to understand
Why happiness belonged to the other kids, not me in any way

I couldn't go out to play

The little child within myself
Couldn't learn to read the signs
I kept hiding within myself
Like a bird afraid to fly
With no fire within myself
I couldn't burn to reach the skies
The child within myself was a mess and yes,
I needed a miracle to open the gates
For the light to kick out loneliness

What I need is a miracle
All I need is a miracle

The keeper of the door faced me eye to eye
I couldn't let the mirror fall for the fear I would break inside

The little child within myself
Couldn't learn to read the signs
I kept hiding within myself
Like a bird afraid to fly
With no fire within myself
I couldn't burn to reach the skies

Though I tried and tried to step into the light

What I need is a miracle
All I need is a miracle

2. Gloria

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

Far, far away from us
White horses they run
Under the midnight sun

Far, far away from us
Three pirates have drawn their guns
Carved by the captain for his sons

And now it's time to wake up those sleeping soldiers
And to play without fear
The adventure will start right here
And right now, as we're ready to sing out

Gloria!
Gloria!
We can relive those times
Of young warriors

Gloria!
Gloria!
We can instill this life
In euphoria

Beyond the veil
Three bandits they sail
Adding songs to their tale

And this time
They've arrived in this precious moment
Only to leave again
'Cause this story of three allies has no end

Battle!

Gloria!
Gloria!
We can relive those times
Of young warriors

Gloria!
Gloria!
We can instill our lives
In euphoria
In Euphoria
Euphoria

3. Voices In Our Heads

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

I'm petrified with fear in my own bed
I don't know what to do
Do with you

You're victimized by voices in your head
For saying things untrue
And for things you do

Our love is a lie
And this world is a lie

You're hypnotized like a monster on the make
Drained of self-esteem
You're cruel and mean

I'm like a lowlife gangster on the take
Haunted by this dream
More and more obscene

Our love is a lie
And this world is a lie
That we try to justify

Some of us
The outright inglorious
Invented a virus
Designed to kill the living presence of good in us
By turning us against each other
A devious scheme that consequently
Made us believe that life is just for gratification

The insecure side of us
Got caught by this virus
That started to kill the living presence of good in us
By every conceivable way enforcing the lies on us
That consequently
Made us believe that love is just for gratification

The infectious desire for more
Is spreading like virus
Destroying and killing the happiness in all of us
Step by step increasingly decreasing the likelihood
Of ever finding
Any trace of doubt that love is just for gratification

The evil spirit in all of us
Is feeling victorious
Beholding the virus
Infectiously destroying any proof of good in us
In every way succeeding in increasing the
Dishonesty that suffocates us
With the conviction that love is just for gratification
The evil spirit inside of us
Isn't a part of us

And these voices in our heads
These voices in our heads

Don't belong to us
They're caused by the virus
Determined to demolish every positive thought in us
By building a universe of pure distrust in everything that is good in us
And everything else in us is increasing the
Dishonesty that suffocates us
The evil spirit inside of us
Isn't part of us

And these voices in our heads
These voices in our heads

Love is a lie
Love is a lie
Our love is lie
Is a lie
Is a lie

4. Angel’s Eyes

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

I'm by your side
With sleepless eyes
Colors fade into the blue

A reckless ride
Nowhere to hide
A curtain fell between us two

Me and you
Me and you

Do you remember how we cried?
And promised to stay alive but now
How am I to get in to your heaven?

What if your sun would never rise?
The promise we made would still survive
I would die to get in to your heaven

Sleeping beauty in too deep
There's no kiss to pull you through

Can you hear me as I scream
Through the mist surrounding you

I love you
All of you

Do you remember how we cried?
And promised to stay alive but now
How am I to get in to your heaven?

What if your Sun would never rise?
The promise we made would still survive
I would die to get in to your heaven

We never believed in last goodbyes
Together we'll see through angels' eyes

She walks the earth in feather steps
And brings the light where there is mist
So much is hidden in her heaven

My Angel

Do you remember how we cried?
And promised to stay alive but now
How am I to get in to your heaven?

What if the Sun would never rise?
The promise I gave would still survive
I would die to get in to your heaven!

We never believed in last goodbyes
Together we'll see through angels' eyes

5. Down By The Sea

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

Down by the sea
There is a place
Where I go out to cry

With the winds I talk
With the waves I walk
On this Rock
I lay my head
When I tire

That morning was
So bright and true
The shore all glittered with ice

The silence whispered
From the sea
As our laughter
Echoed
Crystallized

Any day now
The tide will turn again
And clear the skies above

Any day now
The blue returns to the sea
And brings me back my love

6. Bring Out The Snakes

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

Whole lotta monkey
The chatter lingers
Oh yea, I'm about to blow my fuse
So point your finger at me
Bring on your disease
To hell with your pleas

Riding the time bomb
Into the fire
There's a runaway train of thoughts
Inside my worn-out brain
Shot down in flames

How precious is the flow
The cozy glow of fire and brimstone
I feel the shadows grow
And everything becomes as white as snow

Hear me scream!

Breathe with me
Now don't you worry
You'll get your kicks
Before you'll be sorry

As the time's running out
I'm slipping out of my brain –insane!
Riding the raving train
I'm afraid to call my own

As the word's getting out
I'm driven into a corner
Fuck off!
I'll never give in
I'm prepared to reap what I've sown

What comes around
It goes around
The truth's getting out
I'm ready to face the music with a smile

I must go on
Though it might go off
The harder I fall
The more it pleases my runaway pride

Come on press the rewind!

The time is running low
We can make it if we hold our own

The answer it will show
It'll come out like the sun from the unknown

How precious is the glow
The choices that we make on our way home

Watch the shadow go
And everything becomes as white as snow

7. Repeat Mode

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

Her life is made of circles
She rides the ebb and flow
Floating like a feather

She got lost in a vicious cycle
Trying to make it on her own
Like a soul without a shepherd

Bad choices designed to crash and burn
No hope for return or salvation
Locked in the cycle for ever
Adrift 'til the deeps finally get her

She got blinded by false freedom
As she searched high and low
For the impossible to happen

And her mind lost all its reason
Being jostled to and fro
In a self-destructive manner

She needs me
To bind her with my hearts unrest
Lest she falls apart

Bad choices designed to crash and burn
- I wish I could be there now
No hope for return or salvation
- After all she's been through
Locked in the cycle together
- Get her out from this repeat mode
Adrift in the darkness forever

She's in a spin
I'm holding the end of the rope
I'm trying to reel her in
Every time she goes
I hang on to my hope
Until my heart gives in

Give it all you have
Don't break this bond!
Keep your head up
Don't break this bond!
Keep your head up
Don't break this bond!
Don't you break it!
I don't know if I can hold on
Hold On!

8. Always Been Right

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

In a world of us and them
It happens now and then
That faith becomes a battle
Between two cultured men

Father John was said to feel
That only God was real
Whereas Michael was a rebel
An atheist with zeal

Both traveled overseas
To lecture their beliefs
And disparage the foundation of the others ideals
A day was fixed upon
To weigh the goings-on
The saintly father John was saying

I've always been right
The Word makes me strong
Always been right
And everyone else wrong

We've always been right
To fight how we've fought
Always been right
And everyone else
Has always been, always been wrong

And so the day turned into night
The crowd had become wild
No one knew the matter
But they were eager to fight

Next morning when it cleared
Old John had disappeared
His brother found his bible
But it was torn and smeared

And Michael was revived
He spent the night inside
The temple he had loathed and ridiculed all his life

And at the crack of dawn
He knelt down by the throne
Begging for the gods to listen

They've always been right
To do what they've done
Always been right
And everyone else wrong

They've always been right
To teach how they've taught
Always been right
And everyone else
Has always been wrong

They've always been right

9. I Believe

[Music: Von Hertzen Brothers]
[Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin]

Find me
Please anybody find me
Please anyone enslave me
Break me, save me
Take me out of here

Anyone revive me
You know, I've been
Dying to live these days
I want to change
Tell me what it takes

Oh Yeah!
Here I go again
Now what's going on?
I'm still going strong
I've done my time

No, no!
It's not out of control
Just another taste
I don't want to waste
I've done my time
I'm in my prime

Don't you rain on my parade anew
I've got the stars aligned for me and you
Break the mirror
Razorblades

I really want to change
I've got what it takes
To build a happy home
That we can call our own

Cause I'm in love with you
As I'm in love with you now
Like there is no tomorrow

Don't you want me to
Reconnect with you now
I can heal all the sorrow

So yeah,
I got to make up
For lost time how
I've been blind now
I realize

Want to take a ride
I've got to stay high on life
Rectified

Don't you rain on my parade anew
I've got the stars aligned for me and you

Don't you rain on my parade anew
Break the mirror
Don't you want me to…

Be in love with you
As I'm in love with you now
Like there is no tomorrow

Don't you want me to
Reconnect with you now
I can feel all your sorrow

I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you now
Like there is no tomorrow

Don't you want me to
Come and tell that I know
I'm to blame for your sorrow

I really want to change
I've got what it takes
To build a happy home
That we can call our own

Enslave me
Break me
Save me
Take me

I'm in love with you
Don't you want me to?

I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
Enslave me – I'm in control!

Break me – I'm in control!
Save me – I'm in control!
Take me – I'm in control!

Set me free!

Take my hand
Take me out of here
My soul is torn and tired
Lead the way
We will be okay
Walk me through this fire

I believe
I believe
