Royal Hunt - Far Away lyrics



Tracks



01. Far Away

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
In the misty morning after the darkest night
I feel the heat, I do, and I remember
Promises are broken now when you're gone
Don't turn me down
I'm lost and I surrender

Give me just a sign
Help to cross the line
We'll turn back time and start again

Far away - I can hear you're callin'
Far away - callin' up my name
Far away - and the tears are fallin'
Far away - no one is to blame

Some feelings won't come easy,
you have to hit them hard
You've burned the bridge and
I fell in a sea of sorrow
Can you hear my prayer,
just bring back yesterday
I feel the pain, it makes me hate tomorrow

Take me for a while
Just to make me smile
I wish I'll never ever cry again

Far away - I can hear you're callin'
Far away - callin' up my name
Far away - and the tears are fallin'
Far away - no one is to blame

03. Intro ~ Wasted Time

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
You're out huntin' if I am the prize - so roll the ball
I'm like a mad dog, keep fightin' - back against the wall

Come on I'll show you the world you've never seen
Come on I'll teach you good fight is when you win
(So listen up)

Wasted time - Like a poison in my wine, I call it...
The perfect crime - Like a bullet in the back, it search you
Time is runnin' out it hurts you
Goin' down because of wasted time

I'll keep on tryin - NO ONE ALLOWED - I'm out too late
See loosers cyrin' - the sort of thing I use to hate.

04. Flight

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Eye's of the night, keepin' me right
Engine's roaring like hell
Wing on my side, shakes of the light
Ready to go - I can tell

You better sit upright or you'll fall down
No one's gonna help you miles around
There's no place for tears or fear of heights
Nothing- just the thunder of flight

Fly forever and try -
Cross over the sky-
Feelin' the wind blow.
Cry for losers who died
They're watching you fly-
Over the rainbow

Scary how fast you're down in the dust,
Watching the sign in the sky
Kill or get killed, glory and thrill
Waitin' for one who'll survive
I had a dream last night and I say you burn
Right on the edge of the point of no return
No more excuses and no more comin' back,
Light of the sun - it's turnin' black

05. Stranded

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
I see a face in the night, why do I feel I'm in danger?
Image of me get pushed to the side, just by the eyes stranger.

Anyway, all the faces I've seen,
Over and over again
Everytime, when the sun goes down,
Act the same - just the same
Stranded - so far away from home.
Stranded - I've made it happen all alone.
Stranded - so far away from home.
Stranded - in the eye of the storm.
(it's written all across the wall)

Open it up, turn it up - wild! Can you just give me a reason?
Livin' it up, give it up, wakin' up blind - leavin' yourself in a prison

Anyway, all the places I've been,
Over and over again,
Everytime, when the lights goin' down,
Looks the same - over and over again.
Keep your head above the ground - trouble wants you to drown.
Don't get pushed and kicked around - don't let them put you down.
Someone'd like to see you fall - tear the sucker down
Let the whole world crash and burn - keep your head above the ground.

06. Epilogue

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Sailin' away - alone on the ship of time
Wandering 'bout the past - stayin' lost in line
Never endin' story of both day and night
Everything has been lost along the way

Over the years all the friends I've had
Rushed to settle down before they died
In the darkest hour - scream into the night
Everyone who's never seen the light

Someone's lost and someone's found
Someone's movin' 'round and 'round
Someone's pushin' all the way and hits the ground
Someone came and someone's gone
Someone made it, someone not
To see the dawn

Minute by minute, hour by hour's gone
Left me alone, kept me twistin' me 'round and 'round
Every single piece of me will cry for help
Do I have to take that final step?

Someone's lost and someone's found
Someone's movin' 'round and 'round
Someone's pushin' all the way and hits the ground
Someone came and someone's gone
Someone made it, someone not
To see the dawn.
