Diamonds For Tears - Poets of the Fall


In these days of manmade wonders we still bicker over flies
When you come seeking for forgiveness, I'll be forced to choose my side

If I deny you what you're searching, do I do it out of fear
Am I ruling out my reason, killing that which I hold dear

Out of my way I'm running, with an excuse just underway
Reality is so daunting, and I've got no way to explain

Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name, why do I turn away and run
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears

In the light of recent findings, there's no greater taint than grace
But to relinquish all our bindings, always finds us out of place

If I rested here a while more, would you hold me to your heart
If I knew what it was meant for, would I know to play my part

Out of my way I'm leaving, another excuse before I'll stay
Reality's applauding, I know I don't know the right way

Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name, Yeah, I know you're the one
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears

Is it a lost cause,
Can we overlook this taint
Are these the dead laws
Like a doubt eating the saint

And though I fear these shackles, like my darkness closing in
I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands

Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name, I'll know the good I've done
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears

Carnival of Rust by Poets of the Fall



To breath the name
of your savior
in your hour of need
and taste the blame
if the flavor
should remind you of greed
of implication, insinuation and it will
till' you cannot lie still
and all this turmoil
before red cape and foil
come closing in for a kill

CHORUS:
Come feed the rain
cause i'm thirsty for your love
dancing underneath the skies of lust
yea, feed the rain
cause without your love my life
ain't nothing but this carnival of rust


it's all a game,
avoiding failure
when true colors will bleed
all in the name
of misbehavior
and the things we don't need
i lust for after no disaster can touch
touch us anymore
and more than ever
i hope to never fall,
where enough is not the same it was before

CHORUS: X2
Come feed the rain
cause i'm thirsty for your love
dancing underneath the skies of lust
yea, feed the rain
cause without your love my life
ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh
when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh
when the heart is yearning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh
when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh
when the heart is yearning
