Lyrics:
Steal the lights from our eyes
Drain the blood from my heart
We're in all of this dark matter
Take the breaths from my chest
Break the thoughts in our minds
We're losing time, dark matter
Denounce the demagogues
King diamond to discard
Deplore the dialogue
Your word against the law
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
You're running away
We're pulling apart
In all of this dark matter
I once heard a sin
And now it's stuck in my head
Arrested the press
No one knows what happens next
Renounce the demigods
King diamond to discard
Deplore the dialogue
Your word against the law
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
No tolerance for intolerance, intolerance for-
No patience left for impatience no more
No love lost for lost loves
No sorrow for the unaccountable
It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
The voice asleep, the voice has vanished
From the top of the sky to the place below
Touch the surface and the mirror bends
Your words resound, out of control
Freeze into time now
Still inside, yet doubt survives
It all begins, beneath the skin
No-one is near, no-one will hear
Your changeling song take shape
In Shadowtime
Turn your wish to a vapor, the silhouette fades
Eclipse your blue eyes, and the outline remains
From the house of the moon to the stars up above
Amidst the comets, first sight of love
So begins the countdown
Falling sky, a solar sigh
It all begins, beneath the skin
No-one is near, no-one will hear
Your changeling song takes shape
In Shadowtime
Shadowtime
Catching fire, taking hold
All that glisters leaves you cold
No-one is near, no-one will head
Your changeling song take shape
In Shadowtime
Shadowtime
I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape and walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a newborn baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up on a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here, sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space and time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God, I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise, below the din
I hear your voice, it's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger, you took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
Yeah, I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug
I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape and walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a newborn baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up on a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here, sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space and time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God, I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise, below the din
I hear your voice, it's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger, you took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
Yeah, I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug
I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
The songs won't be denied
I've had enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle, miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
The songs won't be denied
I've had enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle, a miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear your voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took me in
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
The songs won't be denied
I've had enough of romantic love
Miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She traveled this road as a child
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
(Ah, ah)
And as her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the oil"
Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"
She said, "It didn't seem like that long ago"
When she stood there and let her own folks know
She needed wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the highest stakes (wide open spaces)
She knows the highest stakes
She knows the highest stakes (wide open spaces)
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She traveled this road as a child
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
(Ah, ah)
And as her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the oil"
Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"
She said, "It didn't seem like that long ago"
When she stood there and let her own folks know
She needed wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the highest stakes (wide open spaces)
She knows the highest stakes
She knows the highest stakes (wide open spaces)
All of the hate and all of the sadness
have melted away
Nothing remains here
Close by, I see love trying to take a shape
As I reach out for it
The love breaks up before my very eyes
Everywhere, there flows
BLUE BLOOD
Whenever I wake up
Try and take the shape of
Turn into the whole wide world I made up
The heart is full and now it's spilling
Barreling down the steps
Only a moment left
In hind of sight no peace of mind
Where you begin and I'm defined
Daughter of unconscious fate
Time will tell, in spite of me
In hind of sight no peace of mind
Where it begins and we'll be fine
Shadows bend and suddenly
The world becomes
And swallows me in, me in
Whistle to a friend
Gentle 'til the end
Any way in a name
She takes shape just the same
Men of flesh hitch a ride shorts and tans and greasy thighs at night drive into slimy bars and piss it out on our front yards they're looking in our window now real child of hell nobody's seen him real child of hell nobody knows what shape she takes st paddy's day, old irish man shamrocks painted on his face mumbles warnings from ireland in the back I sense a fight and that old man has done his deed real child of hell nobody's seen him real child of hell nobody knows what shape he takes this stage I'm on gets repossesed by vigilantes acting bored the mindless fan wants my dress and I can't tell which one is worse and I can't see the cursing child real child of hell nobody's seen him real child of hell nobody knows what shape she takes
Innocent a child is born a being with no past,
Then in his eyes a fear takes shape,
A fear I feel will last.
In bed we laugh, in bed we cry,
And born in bed, in bed we die,
As life goes on and time goes by
Born in bed, in bed we die.
What's the name of the game
Age of time
Looking through the windows
It's the age of time
Traveling through the world
Age of time
Leaves no room for longing
For a love like blood in me
A love like blood that never dies
What's the name of the game
Thinking about our story
What's the name of the game
Honey don't you worry
You're the code to my heart
Be my own redeemer
What a combination, baby
I want to be
What's the name of the game
Young at heart
I know what we're needing
But the age of time
Is spreading through the world
God takes shape
Who can run the game now
That the love like blood in me
A love like blood that never dies
What's the name of the game
Thinking about our story
What's the name of the game
Honey don't you worry
You're the code to my heart
Be my own redeemer
What a combination, baby
I want to be
What's the name of the game
What's the name of the game
I stand in the line I do as I'm told
But burning within is you
I follow you today
I follow you today
I follow you
I'm your disciple
A love like blood that never dies
What's the name of the game
Thinking about our story
What's the name of the game
Honey don't you worry
You're the code to my heart
Be my own redeemer
What a combination, baby
I want to be
What's the name of the game
Thinking about our story
What's the name of the game
Honey don't you worry
You're the code to my heart
Be my own redeemer
What a combination, baby
What's the name of the game
One flag was taken down
To raise another in it's place
A heavy cross you bear
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love
No stranger singing in your name
But maybe the season
The colors change in the valley skies
Dear God, I've sealed my fate
Running through hell
Heaven can wait
Long road to ruin
There in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow
No dead end in sight
Let's say we take this town
No king or queen of any state
Get up to shut it down
Open the streets and raise the gates
I know a wall to scale
I know a field without a name
Head on without a care
Before it's way too late
Maybe the season
The colors change in the valley skies
Oh God, I've sealed my fate
Running through hell
Heaven can wait
Long road to ruin
There in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow
No dead ends
Long road to ruin
There in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow
No dead end in sight
For every piece to fall in place
Forever gone without a trace
Your horizon takes its shape
No turning back, don't turn that page
Come now, I'm leaving here tonight
Come now, let's leave it all behind
Is that the price you pay
Running through hell
Heaven can wait
Long road to ruin
There in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow
No dead ends
Long road to ruin
There in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow
No dead ends
Long road to ruin
There in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow
No dead end in sight
Right behind my left pocket
That is where you'll feel my soul
It's been with me many winters
It will keep you warm
When a father's love is doin' you wrong
When a mother's love is bringin' you home
When you needed, needed, needed a stone
Someone to lean on
Now I know I could never sit in his chair
And that missin' love left you bare, yeah
But if I'm bein' selfish, that gave me a reason to be there
With my flannel on
Right behind my left pocket
That is where you'll feel my soul
It's been with me many winters
It will keep you warm
You see, I've been down that road before
And I wouldn't dare say that my hurt was more
But a little spitfire hurt you, boy
With nothin' to lean on (nothin' to lean on)
It's bound to go down after a couple empty cans
And I knew once I saw that fancy record company man
And in her face, she knew I was a stan
I was leavin' with my flannel on
Right behind my left pocket
That is where you'll feel my soul
It's been with me many winters
It will keep you warm
The character's in the way you wear it
It takes your shape while you keep it on
May we live for many winters
Keepin' each other warm
Now I pledge you'll never ever be alone again
And I pledge these arms and chest are here
To hold you in from the cold
Right behind my left pocket
That is where you'll feel my soul
It's been with me many winters
It will keep you warm
Ooh, here's my flannel
The character's in the way you wear it (the way you wear it)
It takes your shape while you keep it on (all you gotta do is keep it on)
May we live for many winters
Keepin' each other warm
And may we live for many winters
Keepin' each other warm
Do you see?
One flag was taken down
To raise another in it's place
A heavy cross you bear
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love
No stranger singing in your name
But maybe the season
The colors change in the valley skies
Dear God, I've sealed my fate
Running through hell
Heaven can wait
Long road to ruin
There in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow
No dead end in sight
Let's say we take this town
No king or queen of any state
Get up to shut it down
Open the streets and raise the gates

I know a field without a name
Head on without a care

The colors change in the valley skies
Oh God, I've sealed my fate

Who is there to calm me
But she
God shall be my witness
That I pray she will know
Not one moment of rest
In the cold cold ground
Be with me always
Consume and invade me
Take any shape or disguise
Be with me always
To share all my despair
And to learn nothing justifies
Reckless inhuman lies
Here comes the night
The abyss unrelenting
Casting all reason aside
And I see in myself
All the things I see in you
Hear the savage I am crying
Be with me always...
I want the words, something you haven't heard
Will I find them and will I have what it takes to say them?
In the world beside this one, there are no lies
And no suspicion, only dreams without end
You gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I'm trying to come clean but I stumble every time
And then the words they escape, fail to take shape
It's all in the code now, come again
Feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I'm trying to come clean but I stumble every time
And then the words they escape, fail to take shape
It's all in the code now
Will you let me retract, let me take it back
Sometimes my words lack and my mind flies off the track
What I'm trying to convey is miles from what I say
And you slip away
In life there are times when nothing will rhyme
There are days I slip when I know I should climb
Breakin' the vows I swore I'd never break
A harsh word, a white lie, easy to mistake
Where have you been, haven't you noticed?
Who is there to calm me
But she
God shall be my witness
That I pray she will know
Not one moment of rest
In the cold cold ground
Be with me always
Consume and invade me
Take any shape or disguise
Be with me always
To share all my despair
And to learn nothing justifies
Reckless inhuman lies
Here comes the night
The abyss unrelenting
Casting all reason aside
And I see in myself
All the things I see in you
Hear the savage I am crying
Be with me always...
She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call
But when she stares at me, she can't see nothin' at all
Because you see, I can't take no shape or form
It's been three long years since I've been gone
I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry
I'll never know the reason why I had to go
Oh, oh, I'm crying
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me?
Till the morning comes
It'll do you fine
Till the morning comes
Like a highway sign
Showing you the way
Leaving no doubt
Of the way on in or the way back out
Tell you what I'll do
I'll watch out for you
You're my woman now
Make yourself easy
Make yourself easy
Make yourself easy
Till we all fall down
It'll do you fine
Don't think about
What you left behind
The way you came
Or the way you go
Let your tracks be lost in the dark and snow
When the shadows grow
It'll do you fine
When the cold winds blow
It'll ease your mind
The shape it takes
Could be yours to choose
What you may win, what you may lose
She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call
But when she stares at me, she can't see nothin' at all
Because you see, I can't take no shape or form
It's been three long years since I've been gone
I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry
I'll never know the reason why I had to go
Oh, oh, I'm crying
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me?
Jupiter, bad June
You know my arms ache
And I've organized my face
Sweet sun sister, moon
Seasons have shown
How your providence takes shape
My little eye shadow
Bruised by the moon's paddle
Lipstick eyeliner replaced
Charon, the fog lifted
Messenger dwarfism
Let's leave evidence to rest
Pluto, silly goose
Why did you hide
Behind covenants of shame?
And I'm a tangled up puppet
All hanging in your strings
I'm a butterfly in a spider's web
Fluttering my wings
And the more that I keep dancing
And spinning round in knots
The more I see what I used to be
And the less of you I've got
You are a drawer full of makeup and rinses and things
You keep changing your moods like your earrings and rings
But tonight while we played tag for five minutes in the yard
Just for a moment I caught you off guard
But now you write your secret poems
In a room just for your dreams
You don't find time to talk to me
About the things you mean
And what I mean is
I have watched you take shape from a jumble of parts
And find the grace and form of a fine work of art
Hey, you, my brand new woman, newly come into your own
Don't you know that you don't need to grow up all alone
