#1 (Tune of Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright)

I thought I could rule the world,
I thought I would impress the gods,
But I fell so quickly at your feet,
I sing this song for you,
Helpless I will sing for you,
And live with impressing the king,

No one will compare to you,
You have no competition,

But you just won’t notice me,
Notice me,
I can change for you,

Please notice me,
I am begging you,
I’m in love with you,
Notice me,
Please notice me,
I will give my heart to you,
I will give my life for you,
I swear to always love you,
If you would notice me,

I played a game when I was young,
I married had children,
I ruled the world,
I was the queen,
Couldn’t see the king’s face,
Or was it you?
Do you love me?
Children’s game foreshadowing,
Wish you could see me today,

(Piano)

Fell in love,
Haven’t kissed,
I’ve been waiting for someone like you,
But I’ve found you now,
You can’t avoid me for much longer,

I found you when I was crying,
Crying tears of blood,
I found you when my heart was bleeding,
Broken from love,

If love is true,
If love is deep,
Have you even noticed me?
I walk these empty streets alone,

I sing at night all alone,
Love me,
Please love me,
My sweetheart love me,
I love you,
Look at me,
At least say you’re not in love,

Do you spend days and nights alone?
I’ll be here for you,
Waiting, singing do you love me?

I heard you pleased the gods of storms,
Causing claps,
Sweet thunder claps,
You’re the water if I can be the rose,
Rose of beauty,

(Piano)

I fell for you,
Sweet summer night,
That’s when I wrote this song for you,
Darkness and love over threw me,
You threw me from my throne,
Crushed my crown and burned my home,
I live helpless now,

In my sorrow,
In your love,
That’s where I will be,
Hundred years will go by,
You will still be with me,
I love you, be with me.



#2

I walk down an empty road,
Silence of death covers all,
Like a veil,
Sorrow fell,
An empty heart has failed,

A sword through a heart,
Nothing more,
Nothing less,
Love and war,
Can depress,

Forever seeking love,
Cannot find what you wish for,
No one finds the corpses cold,
Lost in the night,
Stories untold,
A sword through a heart,
Nothing more,
Nothing less,
Love and war,
Can depress,

A tearful day comes again,
Children cry,
Fathers dead,
Blood stains the ground,
A memory will be lost,

A sword through a heart,
Nothing more,
Nothing less,
Love and war,
Can depress,

Another fearful night,
Fear dark and fear light,
No one wants to die,
No one wants to fight,
Our nation turns to death,
There is no peace,
Only war,
A sword through a heart,
Nothing more,
Nothing less,
Love and war,
Can depress,

A painting unfinished,
A home lies unbuilt,
Children unborn,
And children killed,
What greed brings this sorrow?
What hate brings this pain?

A sword through a heart,
Nothing more,
Nothing less,
Love and war,
Can depress,

No hope will come of this,
No life will be restored,
After all the deaths tonight,
Nothing’s gone as planned,
We’re losing the fight,
But they’re all lives anyway,
A sword through a heart,
Nothing more,
Nothing less,
Love and war,
Can depress,

A heart no longer beating,
Lungs no longer breathing,
Blood fails to flow,
Colour is drained,

A sword through a heart,
Nothing more,
Nothing less,
Love and war,
Can depress,

We can’t live in peace,
A nation cruel,
A nation cursed of war,
It’s full of the brave,
But also of the mindless killers,
Give even them mercy,
Don’t just kill,

A sword through a heart,
Nothing more,
Nothing less,
Love and war,
Can depress,

Houses empty,
But full of tears and blood,
Smell of death fills the humid air.

My heart, my soul,
My mind were broken,
My heart, my soul,
My mind had gone astray,
My heart, my soul,
They were dead,
But my mind was only astray,

As I walked towards the storm,
Into the shadows I went,
Into the dark,
Into the cold,
As I waked through the doors,
Open doors to the storm,
You found me,
Led me back to the light,
Out of the night, x2

My heart, my soul,
My mind were broken,
My heart, my soul,
My mind had gone astray,
My heart, my soul,
They were dead,
But my mind was only astray,

You saved me,
My savior,
All I needed was a person like you,
To save me from the storm,
From the shadows,
The night,
Save me from the night,
Bring me to the light,
Save me from the light, x2

My heart, my soul,
My mind were broken,
My heart, my soul,
My mind had gone astray,
My heart, my soul,
They were dead,
But my mind was only astray,
And you’ve done,
All that I could ask,
You’ve done,
More than I asked,
You’ve brought me back from death,
Near death,
Couldn’t have made it, x3

My heart, my soul,
My mind were broken,
My heart, my soul,
My mind had gone astray,
My heart, my soul,
They were dead,
But my mind was only astray,

I had gone astray,
Astray, astray,
So, so far away,
Far away. X6
