Skyward lyrics by Skyward

1. Opening

Shall we begin, this dance I will lead it takes you to places you´ve never been in out of the cold, out of control if we keep on burning we´ll never grow old from midnight to noon, from July to June now means forever, and never too soon so you must choose, and make the right moves to burn in oblivion or die by the rules come and witness the opening only one first time there can be come and be the first one to see come and witness the opening defy and rejoice, let laughter be our voice if silence is heaven, the n hell is our choice defy your fate, abandon false faith now means forever and soon is too late so we will burn, and so we will learn so little time and yet so much to earn so you must choose, and make the right moves to burn in oblivion or die by the rules

2. Guardian

I only speak the truth, I am here for you I´m right here beside you I may not be real, but I know you feel me I am always here, I am always near look over your shoulder I am never far, I´m as old as you are cause I´m your Guardian - may your dreams come true Guardian - may you win Guardian - I will help you up once again Guardian - I believe in you Guardian - When you´re down Guardian - I will be here holding your crown I don´t have a face, don´t have a name look deep in the mirror I look better then, when no one sees me I can make you see, I can make you feel what´s growing inside you I will help you win, I´ll keep you moving look closer and you might find a demon you´d recognize hiding behind your eyes, I am there an angel that doesn´t fly a demon that never lies distant and by your side, I am there

3. Die Happy

all hail the big machine, all serve the big man´s dream all bow down and get on your knees ?so serve and wait for your turn all have to pay their fees, ll have to feed the beast the wolf is hungry and we are sheep ?as sheep we wait for our turn see the child come running when the night falls down see the child come running, running for her life saving hold me daddy if the lights go out ?and then the lights they go out maybe we don´t have to leave right now maybe we can steal some time somehow Just a moment all we need to die happy maybe we don´t have to leave so soon I could show you the sky, the stars and the moon just as long as we die together, we die happy all fear the big man´s rage, honor the sick man´s faith man destroys if he can´t create ?the wolf is hungry again all feel the sick man´s hate, he does what his god dictates god destroys cause he can create ?his god is hungry again a cold steel heart and a face of stone, godlike status and a mighty throne but when the lights go out he is all alone ?and there he waits for his turn lightyears away, the sun ends the day and bids us all goodnight last rays of light, then winter razorlike, mother nature´s scythe lightyears away, the sun calls it a day and bids us all goodnight one tear away, from the wind that sleeps away, wolves and sheep alike

4. Burn It Down

This time I will set things right, and claim what should be mine or else I´ll just burn it down burn it down, burn it down You´ll see what I think of you, I´ll do what i was born to do I´ll do what god is supposed to do burn it down, burn it down this time I´ll declare a war, a war that´s really worth dying for that´s what wars were invented for burn it down, burn it down this ends our quest for truth, thetruth for me means the end for you it all depends on your point of view burn it down, burn it down the world needs no more martyrs, the world needs fun a little napalm never hurts anyone everything is crystal clear now everything´s so bright I´ll burn down everything in my sight

5. Come December

They heard the loudest whisper, a soft and gentle shriek wolves cry for their sisters, that they cannot bury hear the wild ones cry, howl all trough the night they search for warmth and comfort, as winter proves its might they curse the cold, the hunger, they howl out their plight howl on somber child, howl all through the night glory days, they can´t remember hell awaits, come December distant blaze, glowing ember dismal place, come December they feel the freedom´s burden, no shelter they can find how could she desert them, and forsake our kind a hundred days have passed since, mother nature died a hundred more will pass till, she will come back alive near the wild ones cry, howl all through the night howl on somber child, howl all through the night

6. Yesternight

The wind brought your letter today I wish I could read You wrote on dead leaves, now decayed as I wish to be your scent in the air will not fade I wish I could breathe yesterday, yesteryear, yesterlife remember yesternight moon was high, so was I, open wide remember yesternight yesterday, yesternight the moon once described me your face I wish I could see in vastness, in far outerspace where we both should be when I have enough yesterdays together we´ll be

7. Travel In Time

long ago, many eons ago, the world beheld a celestial show it cracked the mountains, it split the seas, what a great show it must have been way before even god was born the old ones witnessed a mighty storm moulded mountains and boiled the seas, there´s a grand show I´d like to see fly away, fly away I want to fly away, fly away (x2) travel in time meet the first human and witness the birth of our kind travel in time future is waiting and one day it all will be mine travel in time travel forever, everywhere and everywhen travel in time is, was, and will be, again and again and again? miracles once there used to be, miracles we´re not used to seeing works of art our ancestors made, some were destroyed but some remain times of triumph, and blissfull years times of turmoil and countless tears if there´s a future, then there´s the truth after all, we´re ancestors too

8. Crossroads

So this is where we part, and separate two hearts so this is how it ends, one climbs and one descends I´d follow you anywhere, but they don´t like my kind up there I´d follow you anywhere, anywhere but there only a lifetime we shared, and we travelled the road that few dare no one has yet lived to tell, just how far is heaven from hell who knows we might meet again who knows when eternity ends till then I bid you farewell it´s a long way from heaven to hell go now and light up the skies you´ll be queen of the heavens tonight and when eternity is done I can still wait for another one there´s time for one more dream, a dream of you and me a dream that could not be, never could be real goodbye and take good care, I hear it´s nice up there one kiss and I´ll be well, and then I´m oof to hell

9. Vaya Con Diablo

Go! Worldwide wildlife waits for you You better go! World weights much more than you do Go now! Your destiny is overdue I´m going too! Let the world´s end be our rendezvous The enemy wants you to stay The enemy counts your birthdays Forget it cause no one can help The enemy is time itself Vaya con diablo, if he tells you, you must go Vaya con diablo, need to travel, need to know Vaya con diablo, where ever you wish to go Nomad child, devil´s own, nedd to travel need to know Go! Nomad children wander free Go and see! What no man´s eyes have ever seen Go now! New adventures wait for you I´m going too! Let the world´s end be our rendezvous
