So you’re locking up your heart,
And you leave in the morning on the early train
You say its love you cannot find
In the corners of your mind
That you can’t explain

But you know our love isn’t bad
And you know its makes me
So Sad

My love don’t you leave,
My heart it won’t stop bleeding
Got my body numb
It’s my world you tearing apart
You leave me in the rain
What if I got back you LL only do it again

Cause a world with out you
Would be summer with clouds and rain
Yes a world with out you
Would be smile and bear the pain
Chorus x 1
Verse 3
You told me from the start
You d love me never end
I was the only one
You got a cold and empty heart
Deceived me from the start
Now I’m the hurting one
Chorus x 1

Its my world you tearing apart
Its my world you tearing apart

Ain’t got time
For fooling any more
Well I don’t care
If your running through the door

You put me down,
Play me around
And I can’t stand no more

World Goes On

Absent are the friend
Who once embraced him
Alien are the ones
Who now, would grace him
Its an never ending story
The world moves on
The world moves on

Can he help his fate
he who instigated it
So full of dreams
As with every man from when
He was only just a boy
Just a boy, a boy
The world moves on
The world moves on
Verse 3
See the people inside,
Passing round the power so
Full of recriminations
Poised to apologise
For incidents they claim
they were simply unaware of

Only the pure at heart
Can ever try to understand
The pain with in these tortured souls
Disease of 20th century man
The world moves on
the world moves on
Verse 4
Still and all, we carry on regardless
With all our powers of communication
Some choose not to listen so
But they ought to know
The world moves on
The world moves on
The world moves on
The world moves on
The world moves on
The world moves on

Shout them down,
Make em bleed
Blind them with hypocrisy

We would have realised
And found ourselves

Open up the door beyond
Your Sacrifice
Come see the signs
Open up your heart,

Kill them off
Give a taste of your molotoff
Ask no questions
Don’t believe
Or stumble round
Too the rhythm of
Dante Inferno

The forgotten songs
Come fill you mind
Open up your heart,
Open up your heart
Open up the door to love
Your sacrifice
And Realise mankind

A place that we can call our wonderland

Opens up my heart

It makes me, soar

My heart is in your hand
Love is for eternity
at least that’s what we plan
