In the Flame of Error Lyrics
I hate everything I am becoming, this change is torture
There is never enough to give, only plenty to take, and this I wage.
When the ground parts from below, will it feel so?
How can I gain from another when the other goes?
This hand, this hurt, my heart,
I'll flirt with disaster, just know now man,
the deal is off.
I'll be no good this time defines,
I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean.
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see.
Mercy , please leave her just a little bit longer,
she's all my world
My love, I apologize, with that you
will see the end of days, just rest assured
Cause they won't let her go and I remain so
alone to work out a clever way to get home
I will do what I must
I'll flirt with disaster, I just know now,
boy you're out of luck.
I'll be no good this time defines,
I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean.
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see.
Oh, save me from defeat again, This is war
Murder the one so close, while she trusts you curse
Die, my darling!
If only you'd know
how lovely you glow in the flame of error
Oh, I ask too much
Please turn back the clock, better take me instead.
How have you come to lose the only thing,
the other one to your two?
I've become the wrong
in everyone's sleep,
please burn me your God
I'll be no good this time defines,
I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean.
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see.
Oh, save me from defeat again, This is war
Murder the one so close, while she trusts you curse
Die, my darling!
I'll be no good this time defines,
I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean.
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see.
Oh, save me from defeat again
Oh, save me from defeat again
There is never enough to give, only plenty to take, and this I wage.
How can I gain from another when the other goes?
This hand, this hurt, my heart,
I'll flirt with disaster, just know now man,
the deal is off.
I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean.
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see.
she's all my world
will see the end of days, just rest assured
alone to work out a clever way to get home
I'll flirt with disaster, I just know now,
boy you're out of luck.
I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife
These dirty hands just won't come clean.
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see.
Oh, save me from defeat again, This is war
Murder the one so close, while she trusts you curse
Die, my darling!
how lovely you glow in the flame of error
Oh, I ask too much
Please turn back the clock, better take me instead.
the other one to your two?
in everyone's sleep,
please burn me your God
I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife

Oh, save me from defeat again, This is war
Murder the one so close, while she trusts you curse
Die, my darling!

These dirty hands just won't come clean.
I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see.
Oh, save me from defeat again
Oh, save me from defeat again

"I'll be no good this time defines, I'll put this touch around the grip of this knife These dirty hands just won't come clean. I'm a murderer, the worst these worlds will see. Oh, save me from defeat again, This is war Murder the one so close, while she trusts, you curse, Die, my darling!" (As a sidenote, holy fuck this song is amazing. Story-wise and emotionally it is far more powerful to me after reading the book.)
To me this song is about Hohenberger (again! all of them seem to be!) and the fact that his creation of the Monstar has/will render(ed) him a murderer at some point. There's a point where Pearl tells him that the activation of the Monstar will kill her anyway, and that he's a fool for sacrificing millions for her life.
"If only you know how lovely you glow in the flame of error Oh, I ask too much Please turn back the clock and take me instead."
Just listened to this and holy CRAP its amazing!
Could be "Mercy, please LEAVE HER just a little bit longer" either one could work though.
I'll burn with disaster, just know now boy YOU'RE at a low
please turn BACK the clock
the first time i heard the chorus i thought he said "I'll put my torch 'round the brick this night". didn't make sense, but it sounded epic. XD
Anyone know what the last line of the chorus is? I can't make it out.
I think this is one of my absolute favorites.
ridiculously epic. my god.
"my love, i apologize, with that you will see the END OF DAYS" instead of "you will see me in this daze"
"I'll be home, the road in everyone's sleep" I think it is "I'll become the wrong in everyone's sleep"
Also for the chorus, I think it is "I'll be no good this time DEFIED" rather than defined.
I'm not sure, I can hear the 'ined'part when he sings it. You're right about the toher line though.

I'm 1000% sure its not "The deal is off" however I have no idea what it is either.
I actually hear the deal is off fairly clearly... But I guess I could be wrong.
