2. The Hour
3. Slave


1. One Second

And for one second, I lost my head
And for one second, I wished you were dead
And for one second, you wish that you were here all alone
Hold back the tears that could fall for me.

And for one second, I lost my breath
And for one second, I cherish that you said
And for one second, it seemed that I was here all alone
Hold back the tears that could fall for me.

And for one second, I understand
And for one second, my life was in your hands
And for one second, you wish that you were here all alone
Hold back the tears that could fall for me.
They fall alone


2. The Hour

within the hour it finds me
how come with you it takes so long?
so long, so long

and if you're slipping out of sanity
I reveal, you're not the fool that feels it strong
what it takes to make you go

holding the hands that shake me
it's just the rules you're reading wrong
oh so wrong

and if you're careless with hostility
I reveal, you're not the fool that gets it wrong
what it takes to make you go

within the hour it finds me
how come with you it takes so long?
so long, so long

and if you're slipping out of sanity
I reveal, and like a fool I feel it strong
what it takes to make you go


3. Slave

into what should not be done, into what was left undone
the way you fall onto your knees

into what should not be done, into what was left undone revealing
the fortune from your pleas

but I can't take it back, cos his soul keeps searching for more
but I can't take it back, any soul would cry out for more
but I can't take it back, no way no more
