Betrayal / Forgiveness lyrics - apocalyptica
[Music and lyrics by Perttu Kivilaakso]
All that I ever wanted
To understand my nightmares
Possessed by my fears
Betrayed by my pride
Alone I wandered in the deepest dark
Seeking comfort from the vanity
Each time I escaped the real
My soul died, died a bit more
Confronting the evil within
Praying for my angel to appear
Agonized whisper into the emptiness
Begging for salvation - salvation for this cursed mind
Words without meaning
Touch without feeling
I do not recognize my own face
Eyes that were once shining
Now extinguished
Left only a silent cold
Sound of a tear falling down
In the desperate hour of loneliness
This shattered heart reaching
For it's relief - the relief it cannot find
Glance without affection
Kiss without sensitivity
Promise without comprehension
Love without hope
I do not remember my own tale
Betrayed by my anger
Betrayed by my delusions
Betrayed by my lust
(I wish)
Strength - to be released from my demons
(I desire)
Wisdom - to forgive the past
To forgive me
All that I ever wanted
To understand my nightmares
Possessed by my fears
Betrayed by my pride
Alone I wandered in the deepest dark
Seeking comfort from the vanity
Each time I escaped the real
My soul died, died a bit more
Confronting the evil within
Praying for my angel to appear
Agonized whisper into the emptiness
Begging for salvation - salvation for this cursed mind
Words without meaning
Touch without feeling
I do not recognize my own face
Eyes that were once shining
Now extinguished
Left only a silent cold
Sound of a tear falling down
In the desperate hour of loneliness
This shattered heart reaching
For it's relief - the relief it cannot find
Glance without affection
Kiss without sensitivity
Promise without comprehension
Love without hope
I do not remember my own tale
Betrayed by my anger
Betrayed by my delusions
Betrayed by my lust
(I wish)
Strength - to be released from my demons
(I desire)
Wisdom - to forgive the past
To forgive me
En Vie lyrics - apocalyptica
[lyrics and vocals by Emanuelle Monet]
Pourquoi faire autant d'histoires
Pour des lendemains qui chantent faux
Pourquoi poser tant de questions
Faut-il que l'on soit aussi con
Ne suffirait-il pas de se voir
Un peu plus, un peu moins mal
Ne suffirait-il pas de vouloir
And this world all gone to war
R�duisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Destinons nos haines
Et buvons � nos souvenirs
Buvons pour ne plus mentir
Achevons pour le plaisir
Et si un jour
Tout refleurit
Que par amour
On reste en vie
Pourquoi laisser faire le hasard
Quand nos r�ves perdent la m�moire
Faut-il que l'on soit aussi b�te?
C'est l'histoire qui se r�p�te
Ne suffirait-il pas de se voir
Un peu plus, un peu moins mal
Ne suffirait-il pas de vouloir
And this world all gone to war
R�duisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Destinons nos haines
Et buvons � nos souvenirs
R�duisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Destinons nos haines
Et buvons pour ne plus se mentir
Buvons � nos souvenirs
Achevons pour le plaisir
[English translation]
Why make so much turmoil
For tomorrows that sound fake
Why ask so many questions
Must we be so dumb
Would it not be enough to see each other
A little bit more, a little less bad
Would it not be enough to want
And the world all gone to war
Let's diminish our sorrows
Let's finish ourselves for pleasure
Let's distill our hate
And let's drink to our memories
Let's drink to stop lying
Let's finish for pleasure
And if one day
Everything blooms again
And by love
We remain alive
Why leave things up to chance
When our dreams loose their memory
Must we be so stupid
It's the story that's repeating itself
Would it not be enough to see each other
A little bit more, a little less bad
Would it not be enough to want
And the world all gone to war
Let's diminish our sorrows
Let's finish ourselves for pleasure
Let's distill our hate
And let's drink to our memories
Let's diminish our sorrows
Let's finish ourselves for pleasure
Let's distill our hate
And let's drink to stop lying to ourselves
Let's drink to our memories
Let's finish for pleasure

How Far lyrics - apocalyptica
[limited edition track]
[lyrics and vocals by Marta Jandov�]
My life is a circle
No beginning and no end
It's always repeating
A trail I defend to the time
A misunderstanding
That can't be erased like a file
I've got all I wanted
But still I'm not satisfied
How far will I go to and search my respect and my pride
How long will I lie to myself about the privilege of my life
That turns around
'Till I die
And take the dark
With me
Why am I sad
Why am I sad when I have more that I ever had
My life is too stable
I get no air
My jail is my skin
I'm false like a fable
That is being praised
For its sin
Once I am trying
To follow the light then
The bitch grips my feet
Pulls me down, underneath
How far will I go to and search my respect and my pride
How long will I lie to myself about the privilege of my life
How deep will I have to fall before I find the will again
It's always repeating
The earth turns around and around
'Till I die
Take the time
Missing me
With me

Wie Weit lyrics - apocalyptica
[limited edition track]
[lyrics and vocals by Marta Jandov�]
Mein Leben dreht sich
So monoton und still
Und zeichnet dabei einen Kreis
Kreis der Ewigkeit
Ich kann dem Gef�hl nicht entgehen
Ich sei ein dauerhafter Gast
Das Gold dieser Welt
Ist nichts wert
Verbrennt meine Haut
Wie weit muss ich gehen
Um zu sehen
Dass die Nacht ein Ende sucht
Wie viel muss ich geben
Um zu f�hlen
Bin ich denn verflucht
Will ich's wagen
Ist es gut
Oder bin ich doch verflucht
Why am I sad
Why am I sad when I have more than I ever had
Mein Leben ist einsam
Ich bin zu schwach, um aufzustehen
Gestreckt auf dem Boden, wie gel�hmt
Der Himmel ist zu schwer
Meine eigenen Regeln sind mein Feind
Wie die Tr�gheit in mir
Und etwas zu �ndern ist so schwer
Ein Krieg, den ich verlier
Wie weit muss ich gehen
Um zu sehen
Dass die Nacht ein Ende sucht
Wie viel muss ich geben
Um zu f�hlen
Bin ich denn verflucht
Wie gross ist die Sehnsucht
Die mich treibt
Verlier ich meinen Mut
Soll ich mich ergeben
Oder lebe ich
Das Leben nach der Flut
Will ich's wagen
Ist es gut
Oder bin ich doch verflucht?
[English translation]
My life is turning
So monotonously and quietly
Drawing a circle
Circle of eternity
I cannot escape the feeling
I was a permanent guest
The gold of this world
Is worth nothing
Is burning my skin
How far do I have to go
To see
That night is trying to find an end
How much do I have to give
To feel
Am I accursed
Shall I dare it
Is it okay
Or am I yet accursed
Why am I sad
Why am I sad when I have more than I ever had
My life is lonely
I am to weak to get up
Racked on the ground as if I was paralysed
The sky is too heavy
My own rules are my enemy
Like the torpidness in me
And it's so difficult to change something
A war that I loose
How far do I have to go
To see
That night is trying to find an end
How much do I have to give
To feel
Am I accursed
How strong is the longing
Which drives me
Am I loosing my courage
Shall I surrender
Or do I live
The life after the flood
Shall I dare it
Is it okay
Or am I yet accursed

Faraway Vol. 2 lyrics - apocalyptica
[Featuring Linda Sunblad]
There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return
I don't believe in God
But I pray for you
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return
So the light fades out
And you're so close to lose it
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live my life for
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away
There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return
I don't believe in God
But I pray for you
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return
So the light fades out
And you're so close to lose it
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live my life for
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away

[Featuring Linda Sunblad]
There's something in the way you always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me to a point of no return
I don't believe in God but I pray for you
Don't you slip away from me, it's you I live for don't you leave
Don't you slip away from me, I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't let them get you, stay away from the sun
It's too bright for you
Your eyes getting blurry - stay, I'm crying your name
I don't believe in God but I pray for you
Don't you slip away from me, it's you I live for don't you leave
No, don't you slip away from me, I'm vulnerable to your love
There is something in the way you're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me to a point of no return
So the light fades out and you're so close to losing
Don't you slip away from me, it's you I live for don't you leave
No, don't you slip away from me, I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live my life for
No don't leave
Don't you slip away from me, I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away
There's something in the way you always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me to a point of no return
I don't believe in God but I pray for you
Don't you slip away from me, it's you I live for don't you leave
Don't you slip away from me, I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't let them get you, stay away from the sun
It's too bright for you
Your eyes getting blurry - stay, I'm crying your name
I don't believe in God but I pray for you
Don't you slip away from me, it's you I live for don't you leave

Seemann lyrics - apocalyptica
[Featuring Nina Hagen]
Komm in mein Boot
Ein Sturm kommt auf und es wird Nacht
Wo willst du hin?
So ganz allein treibst du davon
Wer h�lt deine Hand
Wenn es dich nach unten zieht
Wo willst du hin
So uferlos die kalte See
Komm in mein Boot
Der Herbstwind h�lt die Segel straff
Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
Mit tr�nen im Gesicht
Das Tageslicht f�llt auf die Seite
Der Herbstwind fegt die Stra�e leer
Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
Hast tr�nen im Gesicht
Das Abendlicht verjagt die schatten
Die zeit steht still und es wird herbst
Komm in mein Boot
Die Sehnsucht wird der Steuermann
Komm in mein Boot
Der beste Seemann war doch ich
Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
Hast tr�nen im Gesicht
Das Feuer nimmst du von der Kerze
Die zeit steht still und es wird herbst
Sie sprachen nur von deiner Mutter
So gnadenlos ist nur die Nacht
Am ende bleib ich doch alleine
Die zeit steht still
Und mir ist kalt
Kalt...
Kalt...
[English translation:]
The Sailor
Come into my boat
A storm is rising and night is falling
Where are you going?
All alone you're drifting off
Who's going to hold your hand
When it's pulling you down under
Where are you going?
The cold sea is shoreless.
Come into my boat
The autumn wind keeps the sails taut.
Now you're standing there by the lantern
With tears in your face
Daylight falls aside
The autumn wind sweeps the street empty
Now you're standing there by the lantern
Got tears in your face
Evening light chases the shadows away
Time's standing still and autumn's falling
Come into my boat
The longing becomes the steersman
Come into my boat
Wasn't I the best sailor?
Now you're standing there by the lantern
Got tears in your face
You take your fire from the candle
Time's standing still and autumn's falling
They spoke only about your mother
Only night is so merciless
In the end I stay alone
Time's standing still
And I am cold
Cold...
Cold...
