[02:02.69]Poet without a rhyme
[02:06.69]A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell
[02:12.89]One last perfect verse
[02:15.39]Is still the same old song
[02:19.59]Oh Christ how I hate what I have become
[02:27.39]Take me home
[02:31.89]Getaway, runaway, fly away
[02:34.39]Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
[02:37.39]I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[02:41.39]I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

[03:25.39]Please, no more words
[03:28.39]Thoughts from a severed head
[03:32.39]No more praise
[03:34.39]Tell me once my heart goes right
[03:39.39]Take me home

[04:47.39]
[04:48.39]Sparkle my scenery
[04:56.39]With turquoise waterfall
[05:00.39]With beauty underneath
[05:04.89]The Ever Free
[05:09.39]Tuck me in beneath the blue
[05:17.39]Beneath the pain, beneath the rain
[05:26.39]Goodnight kiss for a child in time
[05:35.79]Swaying blade my lullaby
[05:49.39]
[05:50.39]On the shore we sat and hoped
[05:58.39]Under the same pale moon
[06:02.39]Whose guiding light chose you
[06:06.39]Chose you all
[06:30.39]
[06:31.39]」 I`m afraid. I`m so afraid.
[06:33.39]Being raped again, and again, and again
[06:36.39]I know I will die alone.
[06:37.59]But loved.
[06:38.39]
[06:39.39]You live long enough to hear the sound of guns,
[06:41.39]long enough to find yourself screaming every night,
[06:45.39]long enough to see your friends betray you.
[06:48.39]
[06:49.39]For years I`ve been strapped unto this altar.
[06:51.39]Now I only have 3 minutes and counting.
[06:55.39]I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for 」.

[08:15.39]As the crows feast on the rotting poet
[08:32.39]
[08:33.39]Everyone must bury their own
[08:36.39]No pack to bury the heart of stone
[08:39.39]Now he`s home in hell, serves him well
[08:42.39]Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell
[08:45.39]
[08:46.39]The morning dawned, upon his altar
[08:49.39]Remains of the dark passion play
[08:52.39]Performed by his friends without shame
[08:56.39]Spitting on his grave as they came

[09:33.39]Today, in the year of our Lord 2005,
[09:36.39]Tuomas was called from the cares of the world.
[09:39.39]He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day.
[09:43.39]The music he wrote had too long been without silence.
[09:47.39]He was found naked and dead,
[09:49.39]With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.」

[11:18.39]Oh when did you become so cold?
[11:30.39]The blade will keep on descending
[11:43.39]All you need is to feel my love
[11:50.39]
[11:57.69]Search for beauty, find your shore
[12:09.39]Try to save them all, bleed no more
[12:23.39]You have such oceans within
[12:36.39]In the end
[12:38.39]I will always love you

[12:57.39]The beginning.
