Steps of an innocent man


To the days that pass quicker the older I get

Abuse

Night is going to fall,

Fall over this city,

Oh the stars will look pretty,

To those who can see?

Fear is in the heart of the crying,

Those who are going to be dying,

Those who are going to be free,

 

They took a train ride down the track,

They never knew they wouldn’t be back,

The men in uniforms were happy jacks,

As they counted those to be free,

 

Don’t deny, don’t deny,

We’re the human race,

With an animal side,

No excuse, no excuse,

No man, no woman, no child, no abuse,

 

Took away, from those they loved,

Got no help, from the ghost above,

Took a haircut, stepped inside,

When the shower came,

So many died,

 

They lied, they lied,

To get them inside,

Then when the end came,

They all denied,

They ran for the hills,

They flew in the skies,

They hung from a tree,

Suicide,

 

CHORUS

 

Got no help, from the ghost above,

Separated from those they loved,

Got no help as they stepped inside,

No-one heard the screams they cried,

 

CHORUS

 

 

Ace of Spades

 

Take me back to the night life,

Take me back to my life,

I remember the twilight,

I remember the moon light,

Cold beers and cigarettes,

Ice cream in the sunset,

No conscience and no regrets,

Notches on my bedstead,

 

Take me back to beaches,

Remember the histories,

Love tamed and guilty roars,

Broken legs and bed sores,

Take me back to the night life,

Take me back to my life,

 

Nothings ever changed,

Just the order has been rearranged,

Dreams lost, opportunities gained,

All hands were the ace of spades,

 

Tea, coffee, unnamed highs,

Broken hearts and broken lies,

Jealousy was the ace of spies,

Clocks ticking, running out of time,

 

Take me to a time of when,

The music seemed heaven sent,

A whole story in a line,

The finale ends in rhyme,

 

CHORUS

 

Take me back to the night life,

Take me back to my life,

I remember the twilight,

I remember the moon light,

Tea, coffee, unnamed highs,

Broken hearts and broken lies,

Jealousy was the ace of spies,

Clocks ticking, running out of time,

 

CHORUS

 

Be me

 

I’m not trying to be a hero,

I’m not trying to be loved,

I don’t want to be remembered,

For the things that you want,

 

I wanna be me,

I wanna be all I am,

I wanna be me,

I just wanna be my own man,

 

Don’t put me on a pedestal,

Don’t raise me to a height,

Don’t think that I’m superhero,

Don’t put my name in lights,

 

Don’t think that I’ll give you answers,

To the questions that you pose,

It’s not me that you should ask,

Because I don’t always know,

 

CHORUS

 

Don’t look for me in fairy tales,

Or the battle fields of war,

You won’t find my names in the lines,

Of the books that you bought,

 

I’m not trying to be a hero,

I’m not trying to be loved,

I don’t want to be remembered,

For the things that you want,

 

CHORUS

 

No picture will my face hang,

Upon an adoring wall,

I don’t want to be a headline,

Discarded in this world,

 

I just wanna be me,

Just wanna be me,

Be me,
