  • Lyrics

    Wake the dogs
    Spill the water drop by drop
    Gotta smash it up
    Hit me like an uppercut again
    And I'll wake you up
    You're gonna need another buzz
    Yeah, I'll pick the lock
    I'll crash the gates and then I'll knock at your door

    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Cause that's our drop and we'll knock knock knock
    Wake the dogs

    Eyes wides hut
    Like it's always 6 o'clock
    The bombs about to drop
    Are we swimming belly up in the end?
    Cause you've been locked out, blocked out, what do you do?
    I've been knocked out cold, what is it to you?
    Let's wake the dogs
    Crash the gates and then we'll knock knock knock

    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Cause that's our drop and we'll knock knock knock
    Wake the dogs

    Cause you've been locked out, blocked out, what do you do?
    I've been knocked out cold, what is it to you?

    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Cause that's out job so hit me up
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Wake the dogs (ayayayaaa!)
    Cause that's our drop and we'll knock knock knock
    Wake the dogs

  • Lyrics

    Sail on, sail on
    My sinking ship sail on
    When up is down
    And wrong is right
    Sail on

    Row on and on
    my fellow men go on
    Till we get lost
    between the night
    and dawn

    Hold on, hold on
    my little boat, float on
    to hell and back
    until we´re dead
    an gone

    Sing on and on
    Join in, mx friends, c´mon
    Won´t keep you warm

    hey hey
    whatever they say
    hey hey
    Into the grey
    To hell we race
    all night and day
    they say, hey hey

    hey hey
    whatever they say
    hey hey
    whatever we stay
    just keep the course
    into the grey
    they say, hey hey

    Take me back to day one
    Right back where I belong
    And take me over the edge
    And over again

    Take me back to square one
    Right back where it's begun
    And push me over the edge
    And stop me again

    Come away with me
    While the world's asleep
    Walk from sea to shine and sea
    Find ourselves a place to be

    Take me back to square on
    Right, right into the sun
    And lean right over the edge
    And start at the end

    Come away with me
    While the world's asleep
    Walk from sea to shine and sea
    Find ourselves a place to be
    Come away with me
    Anywhere but here
    While the world is fast asleep
    Find ourselves a place to be

    Day by day and mile by mile
    Over the edge, over again
    Day by day and mile by mile
    Over the edge, over again

    Come away with me
    While the world's asleep
    Walk from sea to shine and sea
    Find ourselves a place to be
    Come away with me
    Anywhere but here
    While the world is fast asleep
    Find ourselves a place to be

    Day by day and mile by mile
    Over the edge, over again
    Day by day and mile by mile
    Over the edge, over again
    Day by day and mile by mile

    Now i don´t wanna remember
    But it´s like i can´t forget
    my heart is here, my mind is now
    I made it out alive somehow

    Well, you still look like November
    and i keep the hole in my head
    i´m half the man, you´re twice as grey
    but i sing my life away
    and you´re so yesterday

    Said i don´t wanna remember
    but it´s like i can´t forget
    Your heart´s still here ,you´re out
    of town
    you made it out of love somehow

    But i´m beyond forever
    and you still chew on the past
    Tomorrow´s near, the future´s now
    three strikes, you´re so yesterday

    You´re so wrong and
    you´re so yesterday
    You´re gone and
    you´re so yesterday

  • Lyrics

    Weel, I've been there before
    And I know how it ends
    The bricks will not move
    If I Don't wake my hands
    Takes hours to climb
    And seconds to fall
    So don't you look down
    When you take on that wall

    Gallows are patient
    So hang in there
    Who ever told you
    This life was fair?
    Takes hours to climb
    And seconds to fall
    So don't you look down
    When you take on that wall

    Well, I've been there before
    And I know how it ends
    Your heart skips a beat
    The feet skip the dance
    Takes hours to bleed
    A lifetime to mend
    And maybe forever
    to understand

    The fact that our scars
    Can only contain
    The memories and stories
    But not the pain
    Takes hours to climb
    And seconds to fall
    Don't ever look down
    When you take on that wall

    So dive right into the clouds
    And never ever look down
    Don't let your feet
    touch the ground
    And don't look down,
    don't look down

    Don't you ever look down

    Shape shifters, come on out and play)
    I was born a wolf
    I walk with rats
    I got rased by lions
    I hunt in packs

    Born free nothing´s gotta give
    You gotta make do with what you don´t have

    Up in arms
    Don´t hit the lights
    Live in shadows
    Long Live life

    Like a wolf
    I walk this town
    Like a wolf
    I´m coming down, down, down
    I´m stray dog and i´m out here on my own
    I was born a wolf, I´ll find my way bac home

    I was born a wolf
    I´ll grow wings one day
    All you shape shifters
    Come out and play

    if i get away with it, then i guess it ain´t no crime
    I was born a wolf, i´m taking back what´s mine

  • Lyrics

    It takes a heart to forgive
    Takes a soul to forget
    Takes up all of your time
    You're going nowhere fast
    Gotta get over yourself
    And bury the dead

    Now if you make a guess
    You know your luck won't last
    You find that lies don't lie
    And the past won't rest
    Makes you get down on your knees
    And say: Off with the head

    You gotta throw it away
    It's getting out of control

    It's got you spinning around
    Turns you upside down
    Takes your final breath
    Before you sink and drown
    It's only in your mind but
    It makes you wanna lose your head

    Stand by me, don't ever come undone
    Stand by me, cause the proudest lungs
    are the loudest ones

    So sing

    Golden rules won't ever rust, no

    Nothing destroys like destruction
    Just put me to the rest
    C'mon, let me be my best
    I feel like pushing mountains
    I feel like eating glass
    C'mon, let me make a mess

    You got it
    You got it
    You got it...

    You gotta stay up with me
    Sing out of key
    Pissing the night away
    If I don't sleep
    Nobody sleeps
    Bring on the light of day

    You got it

    Nothing destroys like destruction
    and my demons never rest
    C'mon, I save the worst for last

    You got it!

    Oh, you would never say you love me
    I guess somehow I always knew
    That you would never leave me lonely
    Despite the things you put me through

    So keep it coming, keep it coming

    But I don't wanna wake up all alone
    You're my love, my life, my friend
    and you're my home
    Said I don't wanna wake up all alone
    You're my heart, my family, my place to go

    No, you don't need to say you love me
    I know you'll always swing and sway
    Go on and walk your walk without me
    As long as you don't turn away

    Just keep it coming, keep it coming

    But I don't wanna wake up
    Said I don't wanna wake up
    I don't wanna wake up
    No I don't wanna wake up

    Help me live a lie
    While our batteries are running dry
    Let me wear your face
    And be somebody else
    Live it up in another hell
    Where there's nothing left to say

    One day
    I'll be on my way
    One day

    Are we chasing the sky
    As the best years go passing by
    Pointless, but we don't understand
    Are we racing for time
    Like a train that will not arrive?
    Restless for hours on end

    Take me for a ride
    Till the sky is open wide
    Then make me fall from grace
    And be somebody else
    Drop me off in another hell
    There's nothing, nothing, nothing left to say

    One day
    I'll be on my way
    One day

    Are we chasing the sky
    As the best years go passing by
    Pointless, but we don't understand
    Are we racing for time
    Like a train that will not arrive?
    Restless for hours on end
    (And all out of hand)

    One day
    I'll be on my way
    One day

    Are we chasing the sky
    As the best years go passing by
    Pointless, but we don't understand
    Are we racing for time
    Like a train that will not arrive?
    Restless for hours on end
    Chasing the sky
    As the best years go passing by
    Pointless, but we don't understand
    Are we racing for time
    Like a train that will not arrive?
    Restless and all out of hand

    You're on your own now
    So rise to the occasion
    You're growing old now
    And you know that time won't wait

    You're twice the price now
    It's a no-win situation
    You sell yourself out
    With every war you wage

    You're all you ever wanted
    You're too much for yourself

    Don't let anybody in
    Before you fit in your own skin
    I'm on the outside looking in
    I miss the way you're never been
    You're all you ever wanted
    I'm on the outside looking in
    And you are better off

    Without you
    Without you

    You're on the raod now
    But you got no destination
    Pick up the phone now
    Let me know that you'll be late

    You think you know now
    But you lack the education
    Pick up the phone now
    Just admit you can't relate

    You're all you ever wanted
    You're all I ever wanted

    If I don't sleep, nobody sleeps, code of the street
    You know my deeds, I sow seeds and I chop trees
    Keep it straight every day, last dance, bombs away
    You peolple take a beating

    Say my name, say my name

    When you're with me, my heart beats, my heart speaks
    One mind is loud, two make a crowd, three make a scene
    We're meant to take the lead so drop the latch key, kids
    Turn off your TV

    Say my name, say my name

    Well I state my case under oath and lie
    And I shout my truth right at the sky
    (Whooohoooooooo....)

    (Look, we got swords for spines, we have diamonds for hearts,
    we got no destination but we're willing to go there and we are angry!
    What do they have? They've got nothing! They are nothing!
    They're nothing but vacant minds living in vacant homes.
    Let's make a vow, right now!
    Let's not grow up like them, alright?)

    Said I state my case under oath and lie
    And shout my truth right at the sky
    (Whooohooooo....)
    And if one day I'll say good-bye
    I'll leave my mark in the sands of time
    (Whooohooooooooo...)

    Shut your eyes now
    The world looks better
    with the lights out
    This is our time now
    To create and invent
    We can be giants now
    So let's wait for the blackout
    This is our time now
    To believe and pretend

    Who's to hold up the sky
    if not you and I?
    So long so long so long
    Who's to tame the volcanoes
    on mountains high?
    So long so long so long
    Just how long does it take
    to drink oceans dry?

    So long so long so long
    And every storm has got its own eye
    (And someday we'll say
    goodbye to goodbye)
    So long so long so long, sail on

    Put the knife down
    Don't you cut your own heart out
    I need you alive now
    Learn to hold your own hand
    Come to life now
    Let's leave before sundown
    This is our time now
    Put an end to an end

    Hold on, hold on
