AMPHABIAN – “Dream Of The Dead” – Song Lyrics

Dream Of The Dead – LYRICS

Reality (Two Different Worlds)
Dream Of The Dead
Hangin’ On
Back To The Beginning
Everything I Was Looking For
Fun & Games
Not That Easy
By My Side
Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
Wake Up

 

REALITY (TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS)
Whenever I go to sleep
I know, that I’m awake
It’s like I’m living
(I’m living, I’m living)
In two different worlds
Two realities
If only I could remember the other
(The other)
But ooh, oh

Somehow, during the transition
I lose my identity
And nothing matters, no
No
No, no, no, no, nothing matters

What would happen if I died in one?
(Come on, tell me!)
Will the other continue?
Or, will it stop?
I don’t know
(I don’t know!)
Just like the beat of my heart
Only God knows
I don’t know, only God knows
Troubled, you might say?
What if it happened to you?
But ooh, oh

Somehow, during the transition
I lose my identity
And nothing matters, no
No
No, no, no, no, nothing
No, no, no, no, nothing matters

DREAM OF THE DEAD
After the accident
I began to feel scared
The horrible screaming
Stayed in my head

Like a bullet
Like a knife
Like the book
That lay under her head
I dream of the dead
I dream of the dead

I try to yell at you
But nothing will come out
(Of my mouth)
You see the terror lying in my eyes

Like a bullet
Like a knife
Like the book
That lay under her head
I dream of the dead
I dream of the dead
Oh, oh

Why did she come?
Why did she threaten us?

Like a bullet
Like a knife
Like the book
That lay under her head
I dream of the dead
(I dream, of the)
Woh, I dream of the dead
(I dream, of the, dead)

She began to cry
I went over
And encouraged her to die
You left the room
And then she died
Died, died, died
Died, died, died

Why did she come?
Why did she threaten us?
Why was she pointing a gun at you?

Oh, oh
(I dream, of, the)
I dream of the dead
(I dream, of, the)
I dream of the dead
(I dream, of, the)
I dream of the dead
(I dream, of, the)
(I dream, of, the)
(I dream, of, the)
(I dream, of, the)

HANGIN’ ON
You
Left me
Hanging on a string
Without a lead
But you
Could see
That we
We’re meant to be

Can’t you see
What you’re doing to me
It’s wrong
Admit it
You’re just afraid

You
You, left me
Hangin’ on a string
Ho-oh, without a lead
But you
You could see
That we
Oh, we
Were meant to be

And you keep me
Hangin’ on
Hangin’ on, hangin’ on
And you keep me
Hangin’ on
Hangin’ on, hangin’ on
And you keep me
Hangin’ on
And you
Keep me
Hanging on

And you keep me hanging on
Ho-oh, admit it
You’re just afraid
And you keep me
Hangin’ on
Hangin’ on, hangin’ on
And you keep me
Hangin’ on
Hangin’ on, hangin’ on
Hanging on
Hanging on

BACK TO THE BEGINNING
I need to feel
Your presence now
Please don’t deny me of that
I was so confused
I didn’t know where to turn

And I looked everywhere
For something to fill that void
Where you once were
But nothing compared

Now I know
That you
Would never leave me
It was just I
Who had to go
But now I’m back
And I’m tired
Of all this running
I know I can’t live without you
And I’m back to the beginning

My whole life was a wreck
Everything seemed meaningless
Like before I was born
I had no direction

Now I know
That you
Would never leave me
It was just I
Who had to go
But now I’m back
And I’m tired
Of all this running
I know I can’t live without you
And I’m back
To the beginning with you
Uhmm-humm
Uhmm-humm

EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR
When, you came into my life
My heart took a dive
You led me like a guide

You came to my rescue
You were what I wanted
And everything I was looking for
(Everything I was looking for)

I, was clinging to the debris
I needed to be set free

You taught me how to fly
You were right there by my side
You were what I wanted
And everything I was looking for
(Everything I was looking for)
Everything I was looking for

I will never be the same
You helped me through the pain
Like a light in the dark you came

You came into my life
You set my heart on fire
And branded me with your love
(And branded me with your love)
And branded me with your love
And branded me
And branded me
And branded me
And branded me
Whoh-oh-oh

You came to my rescue
You were what I wanted
And everything I was looking for

(Everything I was looking for)
(Everything I was looking for)

(And branded me with your love)
And branded me
And branded me
And branded me
And branded me
Whoh-oh-oh

You taught me how to fly
You were right there by my side
You were what I wanted
And everything I was looking for
(Everything I was looking for)
Everything I was looking for

I will never be the same
You helped me through the pain
Like a light in the dark you came

You came into my life
You set my heart on fire
And branded me with your love
(And branded me with your love)
And branded me with your love
And branded me
And branded me
And branded me
And branded me
Whoh-oh-oh

You came to my rescue
You were what I wanted
And everything I was looking for
And more

FUN & GAMES
Living on precious time
None of it seems to be mine
More and more
Of the same old thing
It’s working my nerves
Come on baby
Let’s sing

Fun & games
Living one day at a time
Fun & games
Playing around with my mind
Do you know when to start?
Do you know when to stop?
Do you know when to start
Those fun & games?
Fun & games

Taking another step
How much do you want to bet?
That I’ll win
And then I’ll take what’s mine
And then I’ll want to play more

Fun & games
Living one day at a time
Fun & games
Playing around with my mind
Fun & games
Messing around all the time
Do you know when to start?
Do you know when to stop?
Do you know when to start
Those fun & games?
Fun & games

Fun & games
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Do you know when to start?
Do you know when to stop?
Do you know when to start
Those fun & games?
Fun & games

(Fun & games)
(Fun & games)

When we are having a good time
When we are having
A very pleasant time
I know it’s just fun & games

Come and play fun & games with me
Come and play fun & games with me
Come and play fun & games with me
Come and play
Fun & games

NOT THAT EASY
Putting my feelings aside
Swallowing all of my pride
Wondering where we went wrong
I’ve waited for you so long

How can I go on living?
Until I know I’m forgiven
Maybe it’s just a feeling
But it’s keeping me
From dealing

Oh, I’d like to think
That it’s all my fault
But it’s not that easy
Then, I’d say I’m sorry
And everything would be alright

But it’s not that easy
(Not that easy)
To take the blame for everything
‘Cause you are just as guilty
(Just as guilty)
As I am
Maybe, even more

Taking my heart on a ride
What are you trying to hide?
How many times have you lied?
And how many times have I cried
Just like the wind on the sea
You never cared about me

Oh, I’d like to think
That it’s all my fault
But it’s not that easy
Then, I’d say I’m sorry
And everything would be alright

But it’s not that easy
(Not that easy)
To take the blame for everything
‘Cause you are just as guilty
(Just as guilty)
As I am
Maybe, even more

Why can’t I let it be?
And pretend that I’m blind
And I can’t see
Why do we try to hurt each other?
Can’t we learn to love another?

Oh, I’d like to think
That it’s all my fault
But it’s not that easy
Then, I’d say I’m sorry
And everything would be alright

But it’s not that easy
(Not that easy)
To take the blame for everything
‘Cause you are just as guilty
(Just as guilty)
As I am
Maybe, even more

BY MY SIDE
(The Story Of St. Jude)
Your name has been forgotten
Because of the name of a traitor
But you were not even aware
Of the tragedy

And you, you are a Saint
(You are a Saint)
You helped me when
I couldn’t find a way in
Now you are by my side
(By my side)
I know that I can’t go wrong

Love, is your friend
And hate, is your enemy
I know, yes I know
That you are different
And oh-oh-oh-oh

You, you are a Saint
(You are a Saint)
You helped me when
I couldn’t find a way out
Now that you’re by my side
(By my side)
I know that I can’t go wrong

You, you are a Saint
(You are a Saint)
You helped me when
I couldn’t find a way out
And now that you’re by my side
(By my side)
I know that I can’t go wrong
With you, by my side

EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
It feels so good
Laying next to you
As the rain comes down
On the tin roof
I’ll never forget this night
It’s the night I fell in love

I don’t wanna go
I just wanna stay here, forever
I don’t wanna leave
I just want to hold you
And I can’t let you go
I can’t even move

Then my heart, takes me to you
And everything’s gonna be alright
And everything’s gonna be alright
And everything’s gonna be alright

When I wake
You’re my first thought
When I go to sleep
I lose myself in your face
During the night
I find myself
Speaking another language
And I’m frightened
‘Cause when I’m away from you
My soul cries

I don’t wanna go
I just wanna stay here, forever
I don’t wanna leave
I just want to hold you
And I can’t let you go
I can’t even move

Then my heart, takes me to you
And everything’s gonna be alright
And everything’s gonna be alright
And everything’s gonna be alright
Alright

I don’t wanna go
I just wanna stay here, forever
I don’t wanna leave
I just want to hold you
And I can’t let you go
I can’t even move

Then my heart, takes me to you
And everything’s gonna be alright

It feels so good
Laying next to you
As the rain comes down

WAKE UP
I was driving down the road
Everything I see
I have seen before
In the night
Late at night
When I’m asleep
Deep asleep

I have seen it before
They come and knock on my door
I try to run but it’s just no use
It’s like I’m not in control
I can’t live anymore
I can’t take no more
And then I wake up
(Wake up)

It’s almost like a dream
Filled with horrors of death
And evil things
Then I wake up
(Wake up)
And it’s no longer there
(No, longer there)

I have seen it before
They come and knock on my door
I try to run but it’s just no use
It’s like I’m not in control
I can’t live anymore
I can’t take no more
And then I wake up
(Wake up)
And when I wake up
(I get up)
And you’re no longer there
Somehow I’ve seen it before
You walked out of my door
Leaving me, all alone
Wanting more

I suddenly realize
That I am no longer asleep
I try to cope
But everything seems
Much, much too deep

I have seen it before
They come and knock on my door
I try to run but it’s just no use
It’s like I’m not in control
I can’t live anymore
I can’t take no more
And then I wake up
(Wake up)

I have seen it before
They come and knock on my door
I try to run but it’s just no use
It’s like I’m not in control
I can’t live anymore
I can’t take no more
And then I wake up
(Wake up)

I have seen it before
I can’t take no more
