Apocalyptica lyrics by Apocalyptica

1. Life Burns feat. Lauri Ylönen

We break our enemies with fear And we've seen how the tears come around We built our confidence on wasteland We've seen how the walls come down Life Burns! A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil And we pray it would last Life Burns! We have no sympathy for the lost souls We've chosen the path of disgrace We give this life to our children And teach them to hate this place A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil And we pray it would last A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil The world lies in the hands of evil The world lies in the hands of evil The world lies in the hands of evil The world lies in the hands of evil A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil And we pray it would last A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil And we pray it would last Life burns! Life burns! Life burns!

4. Bittersweet

I'm giving up the ghost of love And a shadow is cast on devotion She is the one that I adore Queen of my silent suffocation Break this bittersweet spell on me Lost in the arms of destiny Bittersweet I won't give up I'm possessed by her I'm bearing a cross She's turned into my curse Break this bittersweet spell on me Lost in the arms of destiny Bittersweet I want you Oh how I wanted you And I need you Oh how I needed you Break this bittersweet spell on me Lost in the arms of destiny Bittersweet...

9. Betrayal / Forgiveness

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...

12. En Vie

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 Réduisons nos peines Achevons nous pour le plaisir Destinons nos haines Et buvons à 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 rêves perdent la mémoire Faut-il que l'on soit aussi bête? C'est l'histoire qui se répète 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 Réduisons nos peines Achevons nous pour le plaisir Destinons nos haines Et buvons à nos souvenirs Réduisons nos peines Achevons nous pour le plaisir Destinons nos haines Et buvons pour ne plus se mentir Buvons à nos souvenirs Achevons pour le plaisir...

13. How Far (ltd. edition)

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...

14. Wie Weit (ltd. edition)

Mein Leben dreht sich So monoton und still Und zeichnet dabei einen Kreis Kreis der Ewigkeit Ich kann dem Gefühl 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 fühlen 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 gelähmt Der Himmel ist zu schwer Meine eigenen Regeln sind mein Feind Wie die Trägheit in mir Und etwas zu ändern 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 fühlen 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?
