painting pictures bleeding colors

I was searching for lyrics to a TFK song but I found these instead, interestingly enough. They're all written by a guy named Roine Stolte for a band called The Rainmaker. I think the band's German.

Last Minute On Earth

Last minute on earth
what would you do, who would you call?
Your mobile is down,
who will write the history of that final day?
That last minute on earth
one minute alone, lost word or cause
for one who had everything,
now unfold this scary beautiful end
Last minute on earth
saving your last famous words
maybe just whistle a tune on a plain bird of clay
Last minute on earth
fractions of time is all that is left
You used to kill time,
now it's time who's killing you, they've closed the store
Last minute on earth
waiting to fly like pigs in the dirt
gold 'round your neck,
but your wings are broken, bent & burnt they say
Last minute alive
check your account, to buy a way out
beating the clock,
but you cannot beat the feeling of being alive!!!
Last minute on earth
saving your last famous words
maybe just whistle a tune on a plain bird of clay
Last minute on earth, in the rapids of time
A story on wheels without rhythm (or rhyme)
Racing the memory lane, high and low
You own the world but got nowhere else to go
Last fraction of hope, a flickering light
Voices so clear step out of the night
...go talk to your God instead of talk to yourself
Look into the light if you're looking for help!!!


World Without A Heart

When you turn away and lock all your doors
When it's getting out of hand, how am I to understand
And then you may think there's no turning back
Running low on self esteem
falling back into your dream
There's this endless hole in the wishing well
Wish you were somebody else
but too afraid to ask for help
Would you play a part in the scheme of things
And I will depend on you, if you show me how to do
We are the troopers, pick up the losers
and turn into a better day
Pick up the sceptics, the non believers
and turn into a brighter day
And the winner smiles and she takes it all
And you are lonely and afraid,
but she doesn't look your way
And they know the drill, taking you apart
And the world that you have known
is a world without a heart
We are the troopers, pick up the losers
and turn into a better day
Pick up the sceptics, the non believers
and turn into a brighter day
Who can tell the price of learning,
steppin out and turn the key
slow and steady fire burning,
feeding on it's self esteem.
We are the troopers, pick up the losers
and turn into a better day
Pick up the sceptics, the non believers
and turn into a brighter day

Serious Dreamers

Left at the roadside with this rapidly burning map
like a magician with no rabbits in his hat
Line up the measures to fulfill your brothers dreams
across the land we pay in sweat, keepin' up the steam
Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming
but I know it's just a lie!
Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming
and you know we're aiming high
Put on your makeup, put on your dancing shoes
into the wasteland we've all seen you
dance away the blues
No time for introversions no more time to play
Serious distractions always seem to come your way
Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming
but I know it's just a lie!
Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming
and you know we're aiming high
From the nest we descend in a mist,
all like birds on thin ice
From the kingdoms of childhood we dream on
and turn to the wise
And the code that was written in blood & flesh
in an ancient time
From the kingdom of heaven
the ships of dreams were sent to enlighten YOU.
Playground Pirates gaze at the Sun
far out sisters and flying Nun
Poor Picasso gaze at the art
Ahead of time means a Lonely heart
War is over, boys are home
move into the friendly zone
Dream at Diners, dying slowly
where hungry hearts grows cold and lonely
From the nest we descend in a mist,
all like birds on thin ice
From the kingdoms of childhood we dream on
and turn to the wise
And the code that was written in blood & flesh
in an ancient time
From the kingdom of heaven
the ships of dreams were sent to enlighten YOU.
