I've got a message for you
You gotta change your ways
I'm gonna tell you my truth
But I won't show you my face
Running away, yeah
You're running for your life
Make a mistake and your dancing on a knife
Running away, yeah you're running for your life
Take your time 'cause it's ticking, ticking by
Running away, yeah
You're running for your life
Make a mistake and your dancing on a knife
You keep on running away
I could have never believed
The welcome I would receive
Even from day number one
I've had you on the run
Slip away
Not today
No return
No escape
Running away, yeah
You're running for your life
Make a mistake and your dancing on a knife
Running away, yeah you're running for your life
Take your time 'cause it's ticking, ticking by
Running away, yeah
You're running for your life
Make a mistake and your dancing on a knife
You keep on running away

Before the Madness
03:46

Another endless week
Not even at the peak
Situation getting frightening
No finish line in sight
Day bleeding into night
Searching to find something enlightening
I'm counting down to overload
Give me a reason to explode
Don't push me
I've got my finger on the detonator
Before the Madness came
We thought we knew the way
Now we're fighting for survival
Yeah we're living day by day
We had the future but they took it all away
We've got to find a way to back
Before the madness came
I see the terrified
Don't look them in the eye
Suspicion breeding separation
Just stay in your lane
And you'll avoid the pain
Thank you for your co-operation
Don't push me
I've got another reason to explode
Before the Madness came
We thought we knew the way
Now we're fighting for survival
Yeah we're living day by day
We had the future but they took it all away
We've got to find a way to back
Before the madness came

Slipping Away

I've been trying to get back to where we were
There's just so many lessons to be learnt
Just an easy answer proving hard to find
How did we get so far behind?
You're slipping away from me
And I don't know how to hold on to you
You're slipping away from
I'm falling away from you
I walked to the City of the Dead
Tried to hear your voice inside my head
I stood and waited, I listened and I hoped
But all that found me there were ghosts
You're slipping away from me
And I don't know what it is I should do
You're slipping away from me
And I don't know how to hold on to you
You're slipping away from
I'm falling away from you
(Don't let go) I'm gonna make it to you
(Don't let me go) we're gonna make it through
(Don't let go) and I won't let go
You're slipping away from me
And I don't know what it is I should do
You're slipping away from me
And I don't know how to hold on to you
You're slipping away from
But I'm gonna find my way back to you

The sun came out today
A cold and lonely light
You woke with thoughts about
How you gonna win this fight?
It's easy to be afraid of things you can't explain
But you don't need to suffer
A servant to your pain.
The sun came up again
Just like you hoped it would.
You gotta take this hardship
And turn it into something good.
It's easy to get held down by
Things outside of your control.
And you can't rely on anybody else
To save your soul.
Blackest night, darkest day
We won't let you slip away
Just hold on and carry on
Life's gonna find a way
Don't look too far ahead
Don't fear your life away
You're gonna climb that mountain
And we will help you find a way
It's easy to get the feeling that things
Are never gonna be the same again
But you gotta take the hard road
And walk into the flame
Blackest night, darkest day
We won't let you slip away
Just hold on and carry on
Life's gonna find a way
We take the hard road now
We walk into the flame
We'll find a way, somehow
And we'll be free again
We take the hard road now
We walk into the flame
We'll find a way, somehow
And we'll be free
Blackest night, darkest day
We won't let you slip away
Just hold on and carry on
Life's gonna find a way

So now my message is done
But there will be more than one
You'll think we've vanished, and then
You'll hear the Maidens again
