The Funeral Album lyrics by Sentenced

1. May Today Become The Day

2. Ever-Frost

The accusations and the blame True or false, they seem the same Filthy fingers, rising rose And out of shit a flower grows I´m amazed how damn low People can go only by being themselves Those with hearts of Ever-frost Always know we never lost Flames rose high... Not enough to melt the ice Tiny minds and virtuous whores Bunch of morons with a cause

3. We Are But Falling Leaves

Think of your lifetime as one day It´s fading away The shadows are growing long Think of existence as a flame and death as rain Storm clouds - they ride along At life´s eve our flames will cease Eternally, unavoidably Eventually all paths will lead To the cemetery We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down On our way we are spinning around Scattered fragments of time Like beams of the light we are That´s all we are Think of your lifetime as one year Look autumn is here Getting colder, the winter´s impending Your conclusion´s drawing near-certain, austere Yet is only the circles unending At life´s eve our flames will cease Eternally, unavoidably Eventually, all paths will lead to the cemetery To the prior deceased We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down On our way we will hit the ground Scattered fragments of time Like beams of the light we are Just when we realize that we are alive, we die

4. Her Last 5 Minutes

Must have been a week Since she drew the curtains down I don´t know if it´s night or day And I don´t care Our hope seems so bleak But she´s pulling through somehow While I´m trembling in dismay, in despair I can see you´re scared and tired of all this I can see the torment, the damage it has done Still we both know what the other alternative is Not yet, the only one The good moments are brief And there´s nothing I can do When it comes onto her again And does it worse She shivers like a leaf As the waves of pain heave through The ruthless bringer of the end Fears, preserved I can see you´re scared and tired of all this I can see the torment, the damage she has done Still we both know what the other alternative is Not yet, the only one Don´t go yet, don´t yet go Not yet, my only one Don´t go yet, I can´t let go Not yet, my only one

5. Where Waters Fall Frozen

6. Despair-Ridden Hearts

All bridges... on fire! As onward and onward we ride The smoke rises higher, higher... Up the ever-darkening sky So quickly everything swirled; descent of the world Now it´s all a chaotic ruin Burning eerie, sapphire The foretoken of closing doom Glowing dreadful and dire, dire... Is the ever-haunting moon So sickly everything twirled; the end of the world Now it´s all a chaotic ruin We came so far So deeply wounded and so scarred our despair-ridden hearts Frail as we are Firmly united we will stand ´til the world falls apart

7. Vengeance Is Mine

I am stunned, you caught me by surprise It´s so damn wrong, you outdid yourselves Beaten numb, I didn´t see you sneaking round the corner, how could I? There is no sight in my third eye When I´m done I will hunt you down One by one I´ll blow you all to hell For you faceless, nameless, cowards, cannot hide The day of reckoning will arrive Strike from behind and knock me to the ground Kick me while I´m down, stab me in the back, you bastards Tear my heart out of my chest I rise from the ashes, from these ruins of mine, from the rage I´m right on your track you bastards Dozen of eyes for an eye Vengeance is mine I have dreams of hammering your skulls Fantasies of bashing in your brains Obsessively I am watching, I am stalking, I am following And then the massacre begins Strike from behind and knock me to the ground Kick me while I´m down, stab me in the back, you bastards Tear my heart out of my chest I rise from the ashes, from these ruins of mine, from the rage I´m right on your track, you bastards Dozen of eyes for an eye Vengeance is mine Strike from behind and knock me to the ground Kick me while I´m down, stab me in the back, you bastards Tear my heart out of my chest I rise from the ashes, from these ruins of mine, from the rage I´m right on your track you bastards Dozen of eyes for an eye Vengeance is mine Dozen of eyes for an eye Vengeance is mine Vengeance is mine

8. A Long Way To Nowhere

Approaching the moment now Long hard journey in its end Starting to loom right now, The final round and then it hits you It kicks you, it slicks you in hell All the toil and all exhaustion All those times we hated All the losses, sacrifices All those things were missed All the suffering and distortion Shit we tolerated All that we abandoned All for this Our scattered hope fall down The zeal turns to negligence The shattered dreams all down Crumbled around That´s when it shakes you It quakes you, it breaks you It kades you, it fades you Degrades you in laughs Enough, enough, too much is more than we can take All those hits we took, persistence was in vain Enough, enough, too much is all than I can feel Down the drain Just bitterness remains It shakes you, it quakes you It breaks you, it hates you Degrades you in laughs All the battles, all the dirts and victories we tasted All the tension, all the misery and all the bless All the passion, all the hurt and all the love we wasted All the purgatories, all for this There´s nothing else...

9. Consider Us Dead

Feel it... And how it´s weighing in your hand Cold and loaded See it... Oh, how it´s shining in my hand Cold and loaded I know I haven´t got the balls to pull this through And therefore I´m laying all my faith in you Raise the gun, take aim and shoot me Put a bullet through my head Consider us dead Raise the gun, take aim and blow me away Squeeze the trigger, free the lead Consider us dead We´re leaving... this human ruin behind Too cold and empty... Yes leaving... for there´s nothing more I can find In this cold and empty The choice is mine so don´t be afraid to pull this through Just get a grip, I´m dying to get rid of you Raise the gun, take aim and shoot me Put a bullet through my head Consider us dead Raise the gun, take aim and blow me away Squeeze the trigger, free the lead Consider us dead I know you haven´t got the balls to pull this through Just get a grip, I´m dying to get rid of you.

10. Lower The Flags

He´s gone, he is dead His remains upon the hearse ahead As silently we wander though the mist He´s free This is the end Your journey´s over, night descends Below... Into the abyss Farewell, my friend, you will be missed Lower the flags A good man has passed He has reached the last of frontiers Lower the flags Down to half-mast For again the world has taken a turn for the worse He´s done, he is dead Six feet of earth upon his head Now lay your wreaths Upon the one who lies beneath Although you´re gone In memories you shall live on Asleep... In peace now rest The weight of the world is off your chest Lower the flags A good man has passed He has reached the last of frontiers Lower the flags Down to half-mast For again the world has taken a turn for the worse That morning light I´ll always remember And these August nights: cold as December.

11. Drain Me

Always pretending to want you It´s so easy to make you play my game Always deceiving to get you So goddamn easy to make you scream my name No remorse, no repent Still to you I´m heaven-sent I don´t need a reason to hate you I don´t need a reason to brake you Just keep that mouth wide open and drain me, my darling I don´t need to care if you want me I don´t need to care if you need me Just spread that pink wide smile and drain me, my darling For so many years I´ve been faking It´s so hard to keep lying and smiling in vain For so many years I´ve been taking Innocence soiled, hey babe, your loss is my gain No remorse, no repent Still to you I´m heaven-sent I don´t need a reason to hate you I don´t need a reason to brake you Just keep that mouth wide open and drain me, my darling I don´t need to care if you want me I don´t need to care if you need me Just spread that pink wide smile and drain me, my darling

12. Karu

Moments Like these could be mistaken to think we are all one.

13. End Of The Road

Here we are, now lay the burden down We´re coming to the end of our road Sorrowful yet glorious somehow To be humming this one last ode So calm and still... it wasn´t all that bad, or was it now? Fulfilled... it doesn´t only hurt to end it now The funeral The memories beneath the dust of years They seem like those of someone deceased There´s no more to be done, or hoped or feared Just waiting for the final release So calm and thrilled... it wasn´t all that bad, or was it now? Still it doesn´t only hurt end it now Is life over, this life´s over? Or has it only just begun? It grows colder, starts to moulder... Coming apart yet still not done Forever one
