lyrics

Last night my haunts kept me from sleeping
Straying in the dark side of town
Watching the slightly covered moon In this windy January night
The moon once promised me rest from insomnia
In a world where calm is death
It once saved me from abandonment
Now I’m one of those lost city souls
Hopelessness makes me think of a place to be
Till a poor old man said:

Keep your head up high man Never lose pride of yourself
Our days are surely numbered
Bare your teeth and start fighting

This fight is a never ending story
Turn your back to this dead end road
At odd times this world will worry
Like rough waves hit an abandoned boat
Maybe this world will forever be on war
But there will always be something worth fighting for
There will always be something worth fighting for

The moon once promised me rest from world weariness
In a world where talk is cheap
It once saved me from abandonment
Now I’m one of those confused city souls
Loneliness makes me think of a place to be
Til a poor old man said:

Keep your eyes wide open
Never forget what was given to you
Death is certain that’s for sure
Clench your fists and start fighting

This fight is a never ending story
Turn your back to this dead end road
At odd times this world will worry
Like rough waves hit an abandoned boat
Maybe this world will forever be on war
But there will always be something worth living for
There will always be something worth living for

These days are ours
Every breath is unique
Standing at the ocean
Feeling we mean nothing

Come on and let’s make these days ours
Cover ground till you find terra firma
Every now and then you’ll feel defeated
Like a tree deprived from all ist bark
Sometimes this world makes you feel so heartsore
But there will always be something worth fighting for
There will always be something worth fighting for
