Track Name: Foreigner: I wont be the saviour of your heart
You may think that we’re the same
But we’re worlds apart

And i dont understand you art
And i, i think we’re worlds apart

I thought i got in, i blended in the crowd
I didn’t say a thing, but i spoke too loud

And now, i’m pushed and tossed out to the ground
And i, i promise i won’t make a sound

There is no point in trying
To change a made up mind
Your efforts go to waste
This is not your fucking place
Track Name: The Hunt: One more down
We quickly flea from the town
We pay the price
Of putting honour over vice

Its the law of nature
And in the nature of law
We will be the hunters
Its written in our cold bloody hearts

The wolf hesitates
One wrong move and it goes
Auu

One foot in
The killing season now begins
I play pretend
But i always get my Target in the end

Chasing you
Always you
I’ll get you
Creature doomed

The wolf hesitates
One wrong move and it goes
Auu

Oh the good die young

The wolf hesitates
One wrong move and it goes
Auu

I’ll get you
Always you
I’ll get you
Creature doomed

One more down
Track Name: Love: Love the way it should be
Love that runs over seas
Love that fills me inside
Love that doesnt need to hide

Love that leaves me in shock
Love through mountains and rocks
Love that just makes me smile
Love that leads into the wild

Oh i wish, i wish you would love me
Oh i wish, i wish you would stay

Love it runs in the valleys of my brain
Love it runs in the dreams that i cant tame
It runs it runs it runs a never stoping glorious rain
And it slithers through every sea, every river, every lake

Oh i wish, i wish you would love me
Oh i wish, i wish you would stay
Oh i wish, i wish you would love me
Oh i wish, i wish you would stay
Track Name: Don't Listen: I am not the ghost of your past
Who lingers on your skin and makes it fast
To love and leave behind

When it left i chased it through the night
I surrender i know i lost the fight
Of love
When i left him behind

Dont listen

I know i lost the war
I’ve seen it all before
They keep asking me for more
Where’s the key where’s the cure?

I know i lost the fight
I live a life with no rights
They keep knocking on my door
And always asking me for more

But im done
Track Name: Woke Up: I woke up one morning
Seeing you had gone
I just felt so sorry
Seeing you had gone

Once again i opened my heart
And once again you ran into the blue
Once again i opened my heart
And once again i wasnt good enough for you
Track Name: New Messiah: Looking forward to our meet up
Looking forward to our futures together
Singing loud and clear all my desires
Cause i dont walk in fear
Im the new messiah

After all the pretending
i thought there would be no mending
But i was so wrong for so so long
Started wondering whats right
and what doesnt belong

I’ve been doing some thinking
My brain hurts and now im drinking
Whining with my white wine bottle
Drowning on my sorrow
With my white wine bottle
I Forget my problems
With my white wine bottle
Looking forward to our meet up

Looking forward to opening my arms as you run to me
The feeling of real love tends to help with my sobriety
For once i see things clear, i’ve put out the fire
Cause i dont walk in fear im the new messiah
im the new messiah x4

After all the pretending,
i see there will be no mending
And i will stay wrong for so so long
Cause i never know whats right
and what doesnt belong

So i’ll just stick to the drinking
My brain hurts, i lose my thinking
So here’s to my red wine bottle
I will drown my sorrow
With my red wine bottle
I Forget my problems
With my red wine bottle
With my red wine-
Looking forward to our meet up
Track Name: Mourning Song/ Clandestine: The birds are singing their morning song
And i’m walking restless on ando n
But the breeze is slowing me down
The girls are singing their mourning song

Run my dear through the mountains
There’s no escape to fate but try to close your own gate

I’ve hurt and judged harmless men
Took them for granted got scared and ran
But the breeze is slowing me down
The men are singing their mourning song

Run my dear through the mountains
There’s no escape to fate but try to close your own gate
Run my dear through the mountains
There’s no escape to fate but try to close your own gate

There’s a hole in my soul in my heart from the start
Track Name: Day by Day (I Learn to Pray): I take only small steps
Towards generosity
I won’t surrender
To the eyes of those who claim such misery

Day by day
I learn to pray

I pull my hair back
And watch my head weigh down with gravity
My hands are worn out
But my last cigarette will always be there for me

Day by day
I learn to pray

And in the end i question
What and who is there beyond me
I dont understand the meaning of this complexity
But does it really matter to me?

‘Cause day by day
I learn to pray
