1. GIVE UNTO ME

I've been watching you from a distance
The distance sees through your disguise
All I want from you is your hurting
I want to heal you
I want to save you from the dark

Give unto me your trouble
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison

Why should I care if they hurt you?
Somehow it matters more to me
Than if I were hurting myself
Save you - Save you
I'll save you

[Chorus]
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Give unto me your trouble
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
I'll endure your suffering
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
Place onto me your burden
Give unto me all that frightens you
I'll drink your deadly poison
I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly

[Chorus]

Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness


2. WHISPER (DEMO VERSION)

Death in - Death in it's most hideous form

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep - Never die

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end
I rise to meet my end

[Chorus]


3. UNDERSTANDING

You hold the answers deep within your own mind
Consciously - You've forgotten it
That's the way the human mind works
Whenever something is too unpleasant - to shameful for us - to entertain - we reject it
We erase it from our memories
But the imprint is always there

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't cry it all away

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual
Shame we idolize
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my Valentin

We're supposed to try and be real
And I feel alone - And we're not together
And that is real

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone

You're not alone - Honey
Never - Never

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away
No - No

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Ooh - It all away
Ooh - It all away

But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten
Because I'm dying too
I'm dying too
I'm dying too
I'm dying too
Because I'm dying too


4. FORGIVE ME

Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you

I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurts so much to hurt you

Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken

I'd give anything now
To kill those words for you

Each time I say something - I regret - I cry - I don't wanna lose you
But some how I know that you will never leave me - Yeah

'Cause you were made for me
Some how I'll make you see
How happy you make me

I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive

So stay with me
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry

And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
