KHOMA LYRICS

1. The Guillotine

Guess you can't hear a sound
In the shadows all tied down
Cause these beats dwell
Inside our hearts

Only one thing left to do
I can hurt someone like you
Tear you out for all to
See these lies

Now you sing back to me
In a strange harmony
Head of state facing up
To the guillotine

Give me no choice but this
Give the man in me a lethal kiss
Root you out relentlessly
At last

2. Stop Making Speeches

All accounted for
Marked sheep, sold
Matched and numbered, weak
Downsized, uptight

It's about time

Stop making speeches
We can't hear you
From the bunker bed
It's not like the movies,
Where hatred made clearer sense

This time around
Grey sharks. Down
Betrayed for personal wealth
Twelve feet under ground

It's about time

Stop making speeches
We can't hear you
From the bunker bed
It's not like the movies,
Where hatred made clearer sense

Stop making speeches
We can't hear you
From the bunker bed
It's not like the movies,
Where hatred made clearer sense (clearer sense)

3. If All Else Fails

Stare is blank, lips spore
They speak my name
Who'll be the first to get thrown overboard?
Guess we can stay right here
Try to keep ourselves warm
Cross our hearts and pray
For someone to come and take us home
Hijacked mind comes clean
Speaking through tears
How I dearly wish you were not here
Guess we could stay right here
Try to keep ourselves warm
Cross our hearts and pray
For someone to come and take us home
Who'll be the first to get thrown away?
This ocean will drag you down
I can't lie to myself
Cross our hearts and pray
I'll wait here with you
Going down.

4. Medea

As silence strikes, just for a minute
Together for a few seconds time
As mourning sweeps
It comes and cleanses
The scent of what you left behind
Candle flickered and blew out
Scorched soul searching through the night
I came to listen
Through oceans depth you're fighting life
These burning bridges
Your life ran by
I caught your light
When no one knows and no one questions
What hides beneath those old scared eyes?
Candle flickered and blew out
Scorched soul searching through the night
I came to listen
Through oceans depth you're fighting life
These burning bridges
Step through, sink slowly out of sight
I came to listen
So many thorns, sleepless nights
These burning bridges
Your life ran by
I caught your light
Cause I came to listen
Cause I came to listen
Your life ran by I caught your light

5. Hyenas

Fall back to sleep
Raising death-brigades
As they swarm
As your voice falls in silence through the rain
You will know
Try to keep them out
Try to stay calm
Mark of beasts
On the day all ends
Was this hidden from our view?
We all knew.

6. Through Walls

Leave myself, try to come back as something else.
I'll explode.
It itches and crawls.
Drift along, sweep down and I'll cry for help.
Hide until morning comes.
It will all be over soon.
Movements in the unseen
It's the last time
Can't you just prove I'm wrong?
They hide in the dark
Cannot see clear
Can't you just stay with me?
Eyes stay shut
Rabbit-heart speaks loud and clear
Teeth and claws Wishing you were here
Won't make a sound
See them coming through the walls
Left as bait Weigh a thousand pound
All be over soon.
Movements in the unseen
It's the last time
Can't you just prove I'm wrong?
They hide in the dark
Cannot see clear
Can't you just come with me?
All be over soon
Movements in the unseen
It's the last time
Can't you just prove I'm wrong?
They hide in the dark
Cannot see clear
Can't you just come with me?

7. Like Coming Home

Just like rain hits the ground,
scatters to bring life.
Or great waves come crashing down,
turn this life around.

The minute your hand
reached out for mine,
bursting out of time.
Brought life through love,

I came home.
When all seems lost, hang on.
We'll make it out of here as one.
This life through love, so strong.

Breathing of you is keeping me calm.
You're eyes so soothing.
This ravaged world can't keep us apart.
I'll hear you screaming.

Feelings I held so deep inside,
stranded and uptight.
Now I know were they belong,

I came home
You're the one

Just like rain hits the ground.
Fragile, winter breeze.
One touch and we'll escape from this town,
to a place were time stands still.
If I can spare one single thought,
when my days are counted.
Please let me remember when we first kissed

8. Asleep

Here it comes with desire
Plan every step
Here it takes your life
Leaving nothing

They'll cut you down to fit here
Welcome knife, accept the pills, needle stings

Waging war against yourself
Is it all your fault?
The real world awaits your breath
Been away too long

Cut you down to fit here
Welcome knife, accept the pills, needle stings
Keep on polishing you'll hit the bone
All of you erased, empty and cold

9. Last Call

Closing time and there you are
Beat in turns... I'm off
I couldn't run, count blows while I'm down
I couldn't run

I felt your touch
Been missing for weeks now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp

And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Somethings that are so very hard to

Closing time, I'll leave for you
Screams that reached the shore
I couldn't run, count blows while I'm down
I couldn't run

I felt your touch
Been missing for weeks now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp

And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Somethings that are so very hard to

If I could change you know I would
Reaching back through time
I'd risk it all
I'd save you somehow
Like you saved me

I felt your touch
Been missing for years now
Somethings that are so very hard to grasp

And you are gone
Your voice died in silence
Old memories come back to haunt me still

10. 1909.08.04

Maybe I'll break this heart in two
Hail the ones with nothing left to lose
You thought you were safe inside your nest
I've followed your footsteps, giving you away
I can see you through the fog
Closing time. Don't panic or hit the alarm.
Stay calm.
All adds up, eating from inside
Nerves like snakes
Nothing left to hide
You thought you were safe inside your nest
I've followed your footsteps, giving you away
I can see you through the fog
Closing time. Don't panic or hit the alarm.
Taking aim. I've waited to come here, to see what you look like.
You're just like me. You'll panic and hit the alarm.
Stay calm.

11. One Of Us Must Hang

Careful with what you're wishing for
They'll lead you down below
Careful with what you're thinking of
Don't want to see you at the end of a rope
Take it one of us must hang
One of us must go
Stand-off is rigged, this trap must close
Take it one of us must hang
One of us must go
Ears are ringing, alarm come near
Careful with what you're speaking of
For how long can you hold your breath?
Careful with what you're dreaming of
They'll hunt you down
Collapsing walls
Take it one of us must hang
One of us must go
Stand-off is rigged, this trap must close
Take it one of us must hang
One of us must go
Ears are ringing, alarm come near
