Nothing else matters
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

(I) Never opened myself this way
Life is ours we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek, and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters.

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

(I) Never opened myself this way
Life is ours we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek, and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters.

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know. Yeah

The Memory Remains

Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere cheers of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna
Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da
(etc...)
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
The memory remains, yeah
To this faded prima donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance little tin goddess dance
Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da
(etc...)
Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da
(etc...)
Da da da da (say yes)
Da, da da da, da da da (at least say hello)
Da da da da da (say yes)
Da, da da da, da da da (at least say hello)

No Leaf Clover

And it feels right this time
On this crash coarse, with the big time
Pays no mind to the distant thunder
New day fills his head with wonder, boy....

Says it feels right this time
Turned it 'round and found the right line
Good day to be alive, Sir
Good day to be alive, he sais...

Then it comes to be
that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin' your way

Don't it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Sucker for that quick reward, boy
Sucker for that quick reward, they say...

Then it comes to be
that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin' your way
It's coming your way
It's coming your way......
Here comes

Yeah, Then it comes to be
that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin' your way

Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...

The Unforgiven

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

The Unforgiven II

Lay beside me
Tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear
To make my demons run
The door is locked now
But it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me
Then I can understand the you
Lay beside me
Under wicked sky
The black of day
Dark of night
We share this paralyze
The door cracks open
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining

What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt
What I've known
Sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Come lay beside me
This won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not
She loves me still
But she'll never love again
She lay beside me
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there

Lay beside me
Tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun
Now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it

What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt
What I've known
So sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you

Oh
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I take this key
And I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too

Never free
Never me
'Cause you're unforgiven too

Hero of the Day

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they go
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

Excuse me while I tender how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking starts the wheels of dismay

Don't want your hate
But the fist I make
For you still no fear
No not on me
So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel

But now the dreams and
And waking screams
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams and
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try

Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, My son
To include everyone Tuck you in, Warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: Light
Enter: Night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Something's wrong, Shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white Dreams of war, Dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: Light
Enter: Night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take Hush little baby, Don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, In your head
Exit: Light
Enter: Night
Grain of sand Exit: Light
Enter: Night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

Wherever I May Roam

...and the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
so in her I do confide
and she keeps me satisfied
gives me all I need

...and with dust in throat I crave
only knowledge will I save
to the game you stay a slave
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will

but I'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll redefine anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home

...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars I've grown
by myself but not alone
I ask no one

...and my ties are severed clean
the less I have the more I gain
off the beaten path I reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will

but I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll never mind anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home

but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind
and I'll take my find anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home

carved upon my stone
my body lie, but still I roam
wherever I may roam

Of Wolf And Man

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
I hunt
Therefore I am
Harvest the land
Taking the fallen lamb Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
We shift
Pulsing the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep
Shape shift
Shape shift
Move swift
Earth's gift Nose to the wind
Feeling I've been
All senses clean
Back to the meaning of life
Bright is the moon high in starlight
Chill in the air cold as steel tonight
We shift
Call of the wind
Fear in your eyes
It's later than you realized
Shape shift
Shape shift
Move swift
Earth's gift Nose to the wind
Feeling I've been
All senses clean
Back to the meaning of life
I feel a change
Back to a better day
Hair stands on the back of my neck
In wildness is the preservation of the world So seek the wolf in thyself
Shape shift
Shape shift
Move swift
Earth's gift Nose to the wind
Feeling I've been
All senses clean
Back to the meaning of wolf and man

Sad But True

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, Make you real
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain When you must steal
When you can't feel
Sad but true I'm your dream, Mind astray
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain While you're away
While you repay
You know it's sad but true
You
You're my mask
You're my cover, My shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, Scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, Make you real
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain When you must steal
When you can't feel
Sad but true I'm your dream, Mind astray
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain While you're away
While you repay
You know it's sad but true
Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay for nothing's fair
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, Make you real
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain When you must steal
When you can't feel
Sad but true I'm your truth, Telling lies
I'm your reason
I'm inside Alibis
Open your eyes
I'm you
Sad but true

Master of Puppets

End of passion play, Crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, Sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, You can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
Master

Needlework the way, Never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, Ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, Laughing at my cries Hell is worth all that, Natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, You can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream

The Thing That Should Not Be

Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light Hybird children watch the sea
Pray for father, Roaming free
Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one

Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell
Crawling chaos, Underground
Cult has summoned, Twisted sound Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, Living death
Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell
Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be
Fearless wretch
Insanity

Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

Better Than You

I look at you then you pale
Hungry and thirsty I wail
Holding the lion chair
Holding the key
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be
Better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)

Lock homes I push, and I strive
Somehow I feel more alive
Bury the deep forest
Bury the sea
Bury me deep when there's no will to be

Better than you (better than you)
Oh Better than you (better than you)

Oh, can't stop this train from rolling
Oh, yo, nothing brings me down
No, can't stop this train from rolling on and on, on
No, no, forever on and on

Oh, can't stop this train from rolling
Oh, yo, you can't take it down
No, never stop this locomotion on and on and on
No, no, you can't bring me down 'cause I'm

Better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Oh better than you (better than you)
Better than you (better than you)
Much better than you

Can't stop this train from rolling

Forever on and on and on and on and on
Forever on and on and on

Better than you

Carpe Diem Baby

Hit dirt
Shake tree
Split sky
Part sea
Strip smile
Lose cool
Bleed the day
And break the rule

Live to win
Dare to fail
Eat the dirt
And bite the nail

So wash your face away with dirt
It don't feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come carpe diem baby

Draw lead
Piss wine
Sink teeth
All mine

Stoke fire
Break neck
Suffer through this
Cheat on dead air

Under curve
Noose the time
Tear the map
And shoot the sign

Then make me miss you
Oh yeah
Then make me miss you

Yeah, suck it

Live to win
Dare to fail
Eat dirt
Bite the nail

Strip smile
Lose cool
Bleed the day
And break the rule

Under curve
Noose the time
Tear the map
And shoot the sign

Then make me miss you
Come on, come on
