Kalmah-"The Black Waltz" (2006)

1. Defeat

Wasting feeling breeding inside me
A shadow of something crawling behind me
And I´m pretending there´s nothing in there
But hearing those whispers makes me to believe

Here -I lay in my bed tasting bitter sweet
Smell -In my breathe reminding smell of death
Dreams -In my head slowly fade away
The end -Is nearby me and I want it to be

The king - Inside my head seducing me to betray
You -The only one making myself me
The loss -In my life great it will be
The game -Is taking me and the prize is defeat

[Chorus:]
Defeat
Inevitable, my destiny
Defeat
Best friend I´ve ever met
Defeat
Inevitable, my destiny

Hands stretching up to reach the sky
Grobing for a lifehold a place to stay
Fingers are slipping and I´m falling down
Into the world I know the world of sadness

Room -In my heart empty as a well
Still -Waiting for the victory to take
In vain -I´ve lost this game before I´ve even born
Defeat -My destiny all I ever get

Inevitable, my destiny
Defeat
Best friend I´ve ever met
Defeat
Inevitable, my destiny
Defeat
Best friend I've ever met

Defeat


2. Bitter Metallic Side

And life goes on with harmony
Day after day those same routines
And lifetime filled with happiness
The most greatest joy

[Pre-chorus:]
So great is the sea so small your boat
But you don´t know if you don´t row
And so great is the sky above your blue eyes
But you can´t see behind the lies

In the smallest ilaç of your life´s track
Is a chance for me to attack
Now the time is right for you to say
Your last goodbyes

[Chorus:]
Face yourself, your own dreams
I am your real demon hidden in your mind
I´ll show you my own world, I´ll take you down to the
Bitter metallic side

You´re lying next to me and you´re too good to me
And I think you know I can´t let you go

Bitter
Bitter
Bitter
Bitter

But don´t throw away your last coin
I have to do this all my own
I only want you to know
I´m buried deep down in your soul

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Bitter metallic side
Bitter metallic side


3. Time Takes Us All

In every revolution there´s a man with a vision
He agitates and incites to follow his vocation
He speaks the golden words turns us against the system
Into the stand we rise him and make a low bow

[Chorus:]
Time takes us all -makes me wonder that who´ll need his call
Time takes us all -makes me wonder that who´ll need his words

We all have to hail the man behind the pain
We all have to hail the man behind the pain

Soon he will take all the control becomes a mindless dictator
And we just can´t believe he was the One
Under the protection of his faithful indoctination
He dominates and rules and distorts the truth

[Chorus]

We all have to hail the man behind the pain
We all have to hail the man behind the pain
We all have to hail the man behind the pain


4. To The Gallows

Waken by the scream of a buzzard
Sending cold shivers down his back

Now across the barren desert gallops a horse
The only thing alive maintaining hope

Soon the steps will slow and horse ends up dead
The rider´s hope now gone too tired to resist
The bonfires behind his back
The chasers wait for their last attack
The long arm of law has reached him
This time he cannot fight back

Now walking in procession hands around his back
Surrounded by the people who only want him dead
In his eyes the look reminds he´s not ready to tap
Yesterday a hero now a victim of combat

In Judge´s eyes the look - you´re mine

[Chorus:]
To the gallows
Says the voice through the white hood
To the rope
Shouts the crowd around the dark hill

To the gallows
Says the voice through the white hood
To the rope
Shouts the crowd around the dark hill

Now climbing the stairs with distress
Cannot feel hunger or fear of death
Defiance in his face he is standing
In front of the law he resisted
