More Than a Lifetime

Summer dreams can be bittersweet
and the daylight seems to last forever
When all you need is a place to hide away

All these dark thoughts and fractured scenes
are a shadow play that makes me restless

Time goes by as
I wait for judgement day

I can feel it coming!

Thunder, lights and wind and rain
Are all it takes to keep me burning
One more shot to keep me sane
Another red light burning in my brain

I'm in hell no
I won't apologise
I'm in hell but
I still got heaven in my sights
I'm in hell no
I won't apologise
I'm in hell but I still believe in heaven

I can see the future fade away
And the world around me feels so empty
It's all gone in a moment
Another spirit laid to rest
I don't want to live another day
I'm a rocket burning up on entry
So alive, but so wasted
Please give me sanctuary

Breaking down
all the screams and shouts
all the dreams of mercy
who's pretending?
No one cares if
I crash without a sound...

And I never wake up!

Thunder lights and wind and rain
Are all it takes to keep me burning
One more shot to keep me sane
The dawn escapes
the roads keep turning
Silence in a crowded room
Took the hits without complaining
Rather me than all of you
Another red light burning in my brain

I'm in hell but
I still got heaven in my sights
I'm in hell no
I won't apologise
I'm in hell but
I still believe in heaven

I can see the future fade away
And the world around me feels so empty
It's all gone in a moment
Another spirit laid to rest
I don't want to live another day
I'm a rocket burning up on entry
So alive, but so wasted
Please give me sanctuary

Silent screaming
I've come up for air
And as I stop to catch my breath
I see you standing there
Your light's still shining
But the darkness
steals the brightest stars
And the shadows on our souls
Conceal the darkest scars
It goes on and...

Looking back at the endless black and the times
I tried to make things better
Some things pass but somethings are meant to last...

And they never let up!

I can see the future fade away
And the world around me feels so empty
It's all gone in a moment
Another spirit laid to rest
I don't want to live another day
I'm a rocket burning up and now
I can fly away
And stay this-way-forever...
