When's a crime forgiven by them

You can never live again

I can only advise to another

Never, o never forsake your brother

(Chorus:)

And where are my friends

And where is my family

They've all gone away

Though it's I who have left them

I have heard death cry, I have heard him falter

I have heard him lie and escape unscathed

When he comes for me I will fuck him, o

I will waste him in my own way

He is scum, but he wields great glory, o

O to live forever in some oceany glow

Let new life rise in the face of death

Let it rise, let it take in what can't be held

And with life, let me rise, let me stand up high

Let me then decide who all will die

For with me, I'd have all of everyone burn

And the rest suffer death in its own black blur

(Chorus)

Let the others cry, while our voice is still

We will wait, we may lie like wolves in the fields

O hold your throats in silence a while

There is enough noise now from where they are

In the silence lie, in the silence take

O take in the rumor of a passing through

The house will be empty, a house of love

Calling out, there was nothing else for us to do

(Chorus)

And where are the days

I used to be friendly
