Jon Magnusson - Ode to a friend
Vers:
You were young, you had barely turned fifteen
When they stuck you underground
You took you're voice and buried it within
Oh how I miss that sound
Ref:
And it was cold, when they took you
You were supposed to get old, just like us
I never told you, you never heard, what a friend you were
Vers:
The girl who rose the lust inside your soul
Now she is crying infront of me
Her tears are falling softly on the floor
While she's asking you for peace
Ref:
Vers:
I can still remember knocking on your door
Just to say goodbye my friend
Your father took my hand and shook his head
You had already gone away
Ref:

Psalm for Sinners

Raise your glass and drink with me, follow me out to the street, I just wanna feel how it make my heart beat
Hand in hand you can walk with me, through narrow alleys and misery, enlightened by headlights whom only we can see
And you eyes are full of silver and your heart is made of gold, so kiss me now before I grow old
It's cold out here, you're freezing, come close to me and steal my heat, I will stand just anything for you for a while
But then take me where it's warm and safe, take of my clothes and make me pray, the only thing i pray for is this night to never end
Cause your skin is smooth like linen and you toss me to the ground, so kiss me like I'm one of a kind
It is a miracle that can't be true, an earthly heaven to be with you, I am pilgrim without any clue
It's blasphemy for the chosen ones, but it gives me joy it gives me fun, it's something the righteous won't be able to find
Cause this world is for the sinners, that can't wait for afterlife, so kiss me like we're sinners tonight

Your Dreams

|
You will never be defeated no matter how bad you are treated, and even though they try to strike you down
Cause your dignity and honesty is something that they will never find
And at night when you are sleeping you can feel their anger creeping, trying step for step to break you down
But hold to your dreams and keep them hiding them inside
Cause in your dreams, you can go so far away
and in your thoughts, you can go so far away
And your hunger, can take you so far away, away
And they will wake you after twilight with a gun under the limelight, and will force your on your knees onto the ground
But your dignity and honesty is something that they will never find
And even though they are desided, to repress you to be blinded, and they took away your one last smile
You hold to your dreams and keep them hiding them inside
Cause in your dreams, you can go so far away
and in your thoughts, you can go so far away
And your hunger, can take you so far away, away
Everything is naked, you have been inside their haven, you have seen through all their stories
But your freedom and your happiness were something you deserted, it can never be inverted
Cause in your dreams, you can go so far away
and in your thoughts, you can go so far away
And your hunger, can take you so far away, away
Cause in your dreams, you can go so far away
and in your thoughts, you can go so far away
And your hunger, can take you so far away, away
