Dokken (japan)

(dokken, pilson)


There were days when we were closer
You were all i had
Lost a soul, but not forgotten
Had to give it back

Lost, feeling so lost
No more tears can we shed
And time slipping through our minds
Wishing i could forget

Chorus

Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
(nothing left to say)
When there's nothing left

Memories of the days now passing
Still they come and go
Visions of a word we tried to say
We didn't know, we were

Lost, feeling so lost
No more tears can we shed
And time, slipping through our minds
Wishing i could forget

Chorus

Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
(nothing left to say)
Guess there's nothing left to say
(nothing left to say)
When there's nothing left

There were other days
When i believed we'd make it through
I was such a fool
For the way it used to be
Now it's time to set you free

Chorus

Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
When there's nothing left

(dokken, brown, pilson)


Picture yourself in a river drowning inside your heart
Finding there is no tomorrow only this place that you are
That you are alone in your darkness let your spirit go
When judgement comes it'll lay by the side of the road
By the road
Leaving all the worlds behind it seems so vain to me
Think' bout the past i only see my broken youth
Locked inside a world where only liars seem to live
Not a chance for happiness
His mother's checkered past
Psychologically induced by all the things he'd seen
What the hell is going on inside

Chorus

Thou shall not give unto life without love
What price for life
For ye shall open the scar of the wound
What price for truth
Thou shall not take from the weaker mankind
What price for youth
Fate begets sorrow the trail of doom
I can see the visions it's emitting from you mind
Dig another grave so i can bury you alive
You're a poison ocean that's been running through the rye
What the hell is going on inside
What price for life
What price for truth
What price for youth

Chorus

Schizophrenic symptoms of a problem in your past
Handed down to newborn generations to be cast
Take your friend's emotions and dissolve it with a lie
Put your plague to rest when you fall down and fucking die
And the mother cried
And the child cried
And the father replied
I guess i went to far
I guess i went to far
I guess i went to far
Then he heard a voice and it said
"now it's time to go, your soul is getting cold
I'm gonna leave your spirit dead by the side of the road"
Still the child cried on and on

(dokken)


Sun shine on me
You were my sunflower, yeah
Been a long cold winter
Summer's come and gone
Your words were so bitter
My resurrection's just begun
Dead of winter
No pain only borrowed
You drink from my soul
You'll taste bitter sorrow

They say the sun won't shine
Where i'm going
It's too late to change my mind
It's over

[sweet chains]
[sweet chains]
You were the one that took me there
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Never gonna put my love
Back into your arms again

They say the sun won't shine
Where i'm going
The bitter sorrow chimes

[sweet chains]
[sweet chains]
[sweet chains]
[sweet chains]
You were the one that took me there
Tears of joy for a soul that had died
A soul, kept for so long in fear of it's passing
So would he or at least, so would he have believed
Revelation came late and unexpected
The soul dies only to be reborn a birth of pain and peace
The pain of knowing the hurt it had brought to so many
Revelation...
The peace of life unfolding through eyes anew
A chance of finding the truth
Or at least, so would we have believed

(dokken, lynch)


We sold our sons and we sold our daughters
Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers
We took the gold, but the gold was water
I tried to save the world, but i failed her

She cries the tears that i never left her
I left them all behind
You were sitting in your darkest hour
Summer's gone

We tried to make the world so much better
We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter
You sit alone in your ivory towers
I'm just one person, i don't matter

You tap the needle, and you went to heaven
You left it all behind
Now you're feeling oh so better

Chorus

Too high to fly
You should've seen me there (yeah)
Too high to fly, my baby
But you were almost there

The sun shines down on my face
But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no)
The lines on the street, and the some rises
You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby

Another morning sun
Another day gone by
The storm's coming
With the pouring rain

Chorus 2

The storm comes with the pouring rain (salvation)
The lines in the street, and the smoke rises
Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it

Chorus 3

(dokken, pilson, lynch)


Too many days come and go
Can't find a reason to go outside
Too many things running through my mind
Brings me down for the hundredth time
Has it all been said and done
I try to find some piece of mind
Searching everywhere
For all the answers taht i can't find
Doesn't really matter
It's hard to rise above

You might find me
In a downward spin
My wings are all aflame
Saw the world beneath me
Wonder where i'm gonna hit
I try to embrace the sun
But it's hard to fly
When you just wanna die

Chorus
Thought i knew where i was going
(it's hard to see)
Thought i knew where i'd been
(it should have been so simple)
Caught in a world unforgiven
(it could have been me)
Caught in between the lesser of two evils

Sail the sea of indecision
Tried to find a reason why
Just like staring at a picture
I watched the world go by

I hear whispers in the darkness
From the voices that i locked away

Chorus 2

I tried to touch the sun, yeah
But it just kept getting colder
I tried to find my soul, yeah
But he said, son you ain't getting any closer

Chorus 3
