soilwork - distance

Can you please remind me where the fuck I've been
Cause I can't find it out you see
So return me to a vital place
From a distant observation
Corrosion of emotions
Is how you block your state
From scratch to revelation
It's all been there, bleeding for someone to dare
Extension of deceptions, brings you to your final collapse
Am I really an exception?

Is that your only entertainment? (Spoiling your desire)
To blow your minds on a one-way track
From a distance...

Building knowledge out of flexible existence
Hunt for adrenaline is staggering, grand lack of emotions
You'll never face conclusions, you'll get what you want
Am I really an exception?

Is that your only entertainment? (Spoiling your desire)
To blow your minds on a one-way track
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement (Sleeping in denial)
You're all wasting the time of your lives

Cold and crawling, you made it back
Fear is selling and your one with the fact
Counting the days for rebirth
Lost once again and how it hurts...

[Solo: Wichers]

Is that your only entertainment? (Spoiling your desire)
To blow your minds on a one-way track
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement (Sleeping in denial)
You're all having the time of your lives

(You're wasting...)
Is that your only entertainment? (You're wasting...)
To blow your minds on a one-way track
(You're wasting...)
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement (You're wasting...)
You're all wasting the time of your lives

soilwork - sick heart river

Leaning against what' next to me
Have no fear, won't see
Will it eat me up or bring me down
I'll gradually make up my mind, my mind...

Revolution within myself
I'm puzzled, still overwhelmed
By the stories that you would tell
They always send me something
Revolution within myself... within myself...

Let me give my best, I won't depend
This time I will make another plan to find
What's left and nothing less, still I won't tread
I'll find my own way to make it all worthwile

Call, call on me darkness
Wait, wait on me now...
Won't you say...
Say that I'm sorry
'Cause I won't wait

I've found another form
It's breeding life
It must have been there
The whole time when I was dead
'Cause I was pledged to emptiness
And now I've let myself
To see all the thins
I just didn't expect

Still I remember, still I repent
I'd walk through
The never the never
Despite my descent

Reborn, acknowledging the part of me that once was lost
I have repressed, too many years, my utopia was within my grasp

Doomed in absentia, left to be sentenced
Still rising to cherish, all the things I have left...

[Solo]

Call, call on me darkness
Wait, wait on me now...
Won't you say...
Say that I'm sorry
'Cause I won't wait

soilwork - 20 more miles

Here lies the quest
Right upon you
It's time to make a stand
Now, whether you like it or not
You better deal with it once again
This time it's essential
This time it's for real
In life there's just questions
Successively wasting your time
A gradual restraint of the mind

I let my feelings show, don't know where I'm at
It doesn't give you the right to use me...
I know I'm better than that...

My emptiness fills the holes of your predictable questions...
So give me no lectures, don't you sell me your kind

[Chorus:]
20 more miles in the rain
20 more getting drained
I can't redeem myself
But I still can figure it out

20 miles in the rain
20 more getting sane
I shouldn't reveal myself
But I still could figure it out

Don't let me go through this with nothing
Nothing to salvage a possible fall
Though I still have my conscience to guide me
It concerns me enough to believe

I let my feelings show, don't know where I'm at
It doesn't give you the right to use me...
I know I'm better than that...

My emptiness fills the holes of your predictable questions...
So give me no lectures, don't you sell me your kind

[Chorus:]
20 more miles in the rain
20 more getting drained
I can't redeem myself
But I still can figure it out

20 miles in the rain
20 more getting sane
I shouldn't reveal myself
But I still could figure it out

[Solo]

20 more miles in the rain
20 more getting drained
I can't redeem myself
But I still can figure it out

20 miles in the rain
20 more getting sane
I shouldn't reveal myself
But I still could figure it out

soilwork - a predator s portrait

A lesson in democracy,i will never,never be,a
Servant of a moral standard,a rebelsoul for the free,
I scream and i burn,i deny what i've learned,can't
Fight what's inside,on this blasphemous ride,here i
Stand!!

chorus
Cause he will remain,will remain the same,he's
Apart of the game and he will remain

As i cry for more,the angels burn their core,let the
Evil saints have their way,when i'm heading for
Oblivion.achieving my goals in everyway,in
Malicious ways i hail the insane,nevertheless:my
Broken promises,i scream and i burn,i deny what
I've learned can't fight what's inside,on this
Blasphemous ride,here i fall!

chorus

Now,take a look at the predator's portrait
Cause these walls are closing in!

Now,take a look at the predator's portrait
Cause these walls come tumbling down [x2]

Come watch me bleed one more time!,no
Substitute left to find!,all that i hear is what i
Preach!,a mighty soul is what i keep!

I step on the face whose dragging me down,fed up
With the precious talk,like a sinner revealing
Himself again,now his down and out,and ready to
Strike,his ready to strike,his ready to strike,to clear
His very inside

chorus x2

soilwork - as the sleeper awakes

The decision is mine, will I remain the same
The cost of getting forced into something that used to be a game
The fragments of joy, the fragments of faith
I can still recall when I feel that...
I'm present, I just know
If there's anything I should regret
I would've been told
Counting hours, counting days
Will you listen, will you play
Is there anyone, who can get it done
Taking me back to the place that I once belonged
What if tomorrow was gently taken
Away from me, away from me...

Awaking the memories...
Was I meant to get old...
Repressing the agonies...
Start breaking the mold

[Chorus:]
And the faith, comes back to life
Still waiting for, a constant thing to react
But I will save myself some of the time
Keep aiming for, a constant thing to react

As the sleeper awakes

Mesmerized by the memories that walk by my side
Shelter comes easy
As soon as sadness sets in
By an impulse the search will begin

Searching, collecting all the things
I possess a Detecting, the insight I've earned in distress
Learning, finally I know how to breathe
Turning, turning away from the greed...
So unpleasant, it strikes whenever I call
So relentless, as I fall
A grand awakening, will kill it all
Nevertheless
I'll be my own precious god...
I can't resist, the things I've missed
And I'll make sure that it will last the time, I will insist
What if tomorrow, was taken away from me
Away from me, away from me

Awaking the memories...
Was I meant to get old...
Repressing the agonies...
Start breaking the mold
(Start breaking the mold)

[Chorus:]
And the faith, comes back to life
Still waiting for, a constant thing to react
But I will save myself some of the time
Keep aiming for, a constant thing to react

As the sleeper awakes

soilwork - as we speak

As we speak...
-the stable table turns
As we speak...
-I should have known we're burned
And I guess I'll never never learn which of those faces
who makes it all turn
As we speak...
-I'm going deeper down
As we speak...
-With a terrible sound
a feeble holy bastard son
has it only just begun?

Chorus

I turn away.....fading out alone
Was a lifetime worth it all?
...fading out...fading out alone
Ass we speak we turn to stone

As we speak...
A young man looses his mind
As we speak...
He kills what's next in line...
A broken down mother ask herself why
-Is this the end of her precious time?
As we speak...
-a conscience leaves without a trace
a silent departure to a silent place
what do we know about the anger that starts to grow

Don't despair, time will heal your torment
Don't you dare, spend your days in hell
So beware, faith will bring you treason
While you stare... Oh!

1st Lead Frenning, 2nd Lead Wichers

I turn away....fading out alone
Was a lifetime worth it all?
...fading out...fading out alone
As we speak we turn to stone Repeat
As a lifetime turns to stone...

soilwork - asylum dance

Can you see me crawling,
Down the trail of despair
Forgot how to cherish myself
Painful writings everywhere

Chorus:
I can see strange things coming over me
I can feel

Stare into my eyes believe me
I'm the one to forget what's right
As the blazing fire awakes
I turn to stone, there is no fright
Heavenly pleasures grants my desires
I'm totally lost
Demolation of the human nature
No matter what the cost

Chorus

Evertime I loose my judgement
You try to grab a hold of me
Vem fan ar du, jag gor vad jag vill,
medans tiden star still
(Who the fuck are you, I do what I want,
While time is standing still)

Chorus

Watch me dance as I'm totally lost
One step closer to infinity

A great pretender, a face of an angel
Buried alive, alive!

Watch me dance as I'm totally lost
One step closer to infinity

Agreat pretender, a face of an angel
Buried alive, alive!

soilwork - bastard chain

Searching for power,who is to blame ? you weak little
Bastard - bound to symbols of pain,hiding in shadows,a
Pungent smell,you haven't decide your own fate cause
Your story of life is too bitter to tell your dying eyes with a
Cowards reflection,heading for the true direction, forward
To die !

Chorus
Bastard chain, with souls so lame the bastards chain bastard
Chain, with souls so lame a bastards chain [x3]

So you say your mind belongs to them ? - turned upside
Down again and again and again feel ashame ,feel ashame,
Yourself to blame,yourself to blame - only yourself...only
Yourself you can blame! only yourself you can blame ! [x3]

Chorus

Helpless you will devour,everything that comes before your
Eyes citizens of restless power,never let your scorn rule
Your fate...your fate!! ...always dragging you down,to the
Ground,a disgrace,a disgrace,your "masterpiece",your
"masterrace" - only yourself,...only yourself you can
Blame !! only yourself you can blame ! [x3]

Chorus

Hey!won't you tell me your name and justify your way of
Thinking walking the stairs of the manipulated ones - only
Yourself,...only yourself you can blame!! only yourself you
Can blame ! [x3]

soilwork - blind eye halo

I came here to justify, such a thing would never cross your mind
Those scars that you wear, seem like they lie and won't disappear
Once again you will cross that line, without reflection
Filthy and defined, information: dead to the nation

B, manic, l, cynic, i, auto, n, matic, d

Pretentious, every detail is built to get you through
An universal looking glass, information: dead to the nation

B, manic, l, cynic, i, auto, n, matic, d

What ever happened to you mind-fucking system
It's all so shattering, so battering to the core..
Watch that halo grow, on an everlasting lane
Such an animated pleasure-dome, doomed to carry infected flames

[solo: frenning, wichers]

B, manic, l, cynic, i, auto, n, matic, d

soilwork - breeding thorns

You have not seen the last of me
I'm breeding thorns
I'll follow your footsteps down below
I will trust all my instincts and bring it home.

Does it appeal to you now as a part of the violation?
That wherever it takes you, you won't be able to choose.

I will carry the message, it will swallow you whole

[Chorus:]
You ain't never gonna tell again
Caught as the founder of the emptiness
It must have made you stocked
whenever my pride was taken, again and again...

Again and again

Now put your envy in motion, one step at a time
I wanna see the closure when your access is denied

I will bury the damage, I will drench the device

[Chorus]

Now I want you to tell me (tell me again), do you see what I see?
'cause it's so damn obvious to me

[Solo]

(Whenever a promise taken...)

Won't you tell me that it's raw?

[Chorus]

You ain't never gonna tell again.

soilwork - brickwalker

Brickwalker won't you cease your time
Instead of ruin daily lives
Against the grain they stand
Against the grain they fall
Paint them a picture of their fate
Face their fearless looks so pale
It's so goddamn beautiful...

You've already put your hands on their fate
Your mind is clear and your speech is free
Your doors are shut and they won't see
With your cynic presence they'll shiver
'til the break of dawn

Come on, come on, come on
They're so expendable

[Chorus:]
We're all so fatal, we're all too able
we'd like to have a break... SAY
We're all so tragic, illogical magic
we'd like to turn the page... SAY

So, watch them cross the yard of time
Do not fail don't cross that line
Inside, they will leave tonight
Vanish through the sky

Don't throw the page. Don't throw it all away!
Gotta turn the page. Just lead thy pain astray!

soilwork - bulletbeast

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the mightiest of them all
Every little question, none who will be answered
Staring at the bulletbeast pointing his gun
Killing-there's nothing in my seeing what's wrong
Running-or is it just that i'm...
Fearing -in fears for your lives you scream like a pig
Thrilling-my pulse will go up and yours will go down!

WHY, WHY-I'm in for the quest
There's no turning back once you've tried
WHY, WHY, You're all laid to rest
The bullet is sent by the king
Once again I'll tell you my friend
Don't trust anything you'll see "redrum" overdose
Telling no lies my triggerfinger is divine
Hatelights-aim at the chest fire at will
Lesson-A lesson in pain, waiting for....
Vengeance-chasing my footsteps not to be found
Instruction-instructor unknown, but he will proceed!

WHY, WHY-but you wont resist
I'm back once again I will kill
WHY, WHY, I'm put to the test I'll never go down to the ground!

So you wanna play rough?
Say hello to my little friend
With my finger on the trigger
You're watching the judge of today
Killing-there's nothing in my seeing what's wrong
Running-or is it just that I'm...
Fearing -in fears for your lives you scream like a pig
Thrilling-my pulse will go up and yours will go down!

WHY, WHY-I'm in for the quest
There's no turning back once you've tried
WHY, WHY, You're all laid to rest
The bullet is sent by the king
Once again I'll tell you my friend
Don't trust anything you'll see "redrum" overdose
Telling no lies my triggerfinger is divine
Hatelights-aim at the chest fire at will
Lesson-A lesson in pain, waiting for....
Vengeance-chasing my footsteps not to be found
Instruction-instructor unknown, but he will proceed!

Last time, last sign My face have turned to dust
Underground, no sound Of human innocence
Hatelights-aim at the chest fire at wiill
Lesson-a lesson in pain, waiting for....
Vengeance-chasing my footsteps not to be found
Instruction-instructor unknown, but he will proceed!

WHY, WHY-but you wont resist
I'm back once again I will kill
WHY, WHY, I'm put to the test I'll never go down to the ground!

soilwork - burn

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

soilwork - crankin the sirens

Underneath the surface he's bound to be back for more
Keep your eye on the trigger man
His hands are shaky, trying to find the score
Well, i see you have another friend
To drag down the hall
Watch him bleed on this freakshow monday
Watch him crank the sirens tearing up his soul

Chorus
And there it goes he's so close to a remedy
A painful host of his time
And he'll never show to the world
How his life's supposed to be
Drenched by the dark in his mind

Now there's nothing but silence surrounding him
Providing the contents of his unique
Misanthropical friend. well (won't you tell)
If there's ever gonna be a state for your well-hidden art
Watch him breed on this freakshow monday
Watch him crank the sirens tearing up his soul

He believes in silence
He believes that this is the end
He can't hear the sirens cause
Silence is the greatest sleep of them all.
