[edit] Lyrics

Last Salute

If this day must end let it pass me by, I’ll remain your friend, only love has died, heaven is with me now, must I walk away, wish I could stop somehow the dawning of this day, I will leave you; I will leave you I will leave you alone, the figure in the dream, didn’t want to die, can’t you hear his scream, see the tears in his eye, heaven is with me now, must you walk away, wish you could stop somehow the dawning of this day, I will leave you; I will leave you I will leave you alone, heaven is with them now and together they will stay, wish they could find somehow the reason’s for this day, I will leave you; I will leave you I will leave you alone, walk away; walk away, from you…


We Struggle

Touching the fire as it burns, taking a risk with another body, stepping inside a dream, we fall apart and play with the pieces, into a bed we go, up on all fours we go, oh-oh-oh-oh, three in to one we’ll go, three in to one we go oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, It’s the same game we play with steel, it’s the same game we play with steel, and I go in and I go in and I go in and I go in and in and in and up, no one is in control, we move as one, we’re making fires, holding the key in our hand, we’re locked inside our own existence, into a bed we go, up on all fours we go, oh-oh-oh-oh, three in to one we’ll go, three in to one we go oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, It’s the same game we play with steel, it’s the same game we play with steel, and I go in and I go in and I go in and I go in and in and in and up, and if you ask I’ll shed my blood for you and if you ask, and if you ask I’ll risk my life for you.
