Damned youth Damned youth Damned youth Damned youth You can't chase it, you can't trap it, nor can you buy it with money Damned youth Damned youth Damned youth Damned youth Youth flows it flows it flows like water and old age lurks old age lurks like a shadow Damned youth Damned youth Damned youth Damned youth Damned youth!

I feel like I'm canibalizing my own life Life and knowledge just keep breezing past me and I feel like a man who missed the last train and he's waiting for it to leave the station I never liked myself I'm leaving I'm always leaving and it's because it's because it's because... I get scared of myself I get scared of myself I get scared of myself I get scared of myself Night after night I dream of pulling the trigger I wake up and write myself sane my dreams haunt me in a world of words again and again and again! I get scared of myself I get scared of myself I get scared of myself I get scared... I get scared of myself I get scared of myself I get scared of myself and I know, I know.

If two go on a long journey they will not stop even if there is no road They'll walk hand in hand as the earth is burning Oh how I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone If two decide to find a way a flame lights up for them for all of life It makes the darkness bright as day Oh how I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone If two stand tall and brave shoulder to shoulder in a battle they'll lay together pure in one grave Oh, I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone....

The first day of spring you fell in love with me We walked over the slowly melting snow Our whispers were quiet as the first swallow’s song Hand in hand we watched the first flowers grow Whoever has passion and will and youth Will become my executioner Whoever has passion and will and youth Will become my executioner My executioner, my executioner, my executioner The first day of fall you said you had to go To find a new love’s scarlet bloom Now as I shiver silent and alone without you Before me is the grave’s cold gloom Whoever has passion and will and youth Come and be my executioner Whoever has passion and will and youth Come and be my executioner My executioner! My executioner! My executioner!

History, will you mention us In your faded scrolls? We worked in factories, fields, and offices - Our names were not well known. Will you at least be grateful We fattened you with news, And slaked your thirst so richly With the blood of slaughtered crowds? You'll lose the human focus To view the panorama, And no one will remember The simple human drama. No one will remember the simple human drama We kicked the table over, Ran out the door, and there In the open felt the stirring Of something bright and fair. For the hardship and affliction We do not seek rewards, Nor do we want our pictures In the calendar of years. Just tell our story simply To those we shall not see, Tell those who will replace us - We fought courageously We fought courageously! To those we shall not see, Tell those who will replace us - We fought courageously We fought courageously!

Like a prisoner thrown into a deep empty well I know not where I a or what fate awaits me I only know that in my long hard battle with the deamon, father of all things material... I will emerge victorious I will emerge victorious I will emerge victorious I'll be free at last! I will emerge victorious I will emerge victorious I will emerge victorious I'll be free at... And then matter and soul will meld in harmony and the universal life force will reign but that will only come after many millenia Drop by drop after the moon and earth have spun into dust Till then Horror, horror, horror, horror Till then Horror, horror, horror, horror Till then Horror, horror, horror, horror I will emerge! I will emerge! I will emerge victorious I will emerge victorious I will emerge victorious I'll be free at last!
