..::lyrics::.. Afterhours - Covenant, Atlas - Covenant

I have devils on my mind, and the hour's getting late,
There's nothing more to have, I'm waiting for the day,
The weeks are passing by, thinking of the days,
I want to burn myself again,
I want to violate you.

I want to violate you.
I want to hurt me again.

Oh, I'm never going to waste your time again,
Burn your love tonight.
Oh, I'm never going to waste your time again,
We can touch the stars tonight

I have devils on my mind, they refuse to set me free,
my followers in crime, but you're the one I fear,
hiding from your eyes, thinking of your skin,
I want to burn myself again,
I want to violate you.

I want to violate you.
I want to hurt me again.

Oh, I'm never going to waste your time again,
Burn your love tonight.
Oh, I'm never going to waste your time again,
We can touch the stars tonight

Oh, I'm never going to waste your time again,
Burn your love tonight.
Oh, I'm never going to waste your time again,
We can touch the stars tonight

This song's special to me because it's indirectly about me and my sweetheart, but I'll leave it up to your guess as to how.

I'm a thousand people, from day to day,
We are all aboard, without ground control,
I call my name in the maelstrom,
I'm not giving in,
So don't you give in,

I'll be your Atlas,
And carry your world

But I guess I'll save the world today,
I'm just trying to survive,
And perhaps I'll dream again,
But I will find my cross, and I will take us home,
But I guess I'll save the world today

I'm a thousand people, from day to day,
[indecipherable], on the road to it,
I'm losing my name in the maelstrom
But I'm not giving in
So don't you give in
I'll be your Atlas,
And carry us home,

But I guess I'll save your world today

But I guess I'll save the world today,
I'm just trying to survive,
And perhaps I'll dream again,
But I will find my cross,
And I will take us home,

But I guess I'll save the world today,
I'm just trying to survive,
And perhaps I'll dream again,
But I will find my cross,
And I will take us home,
But I guess I'll save the world today

I suppose this song could fit a thousand superhero movies, especially the X-Men Trilogy and Spiderman 2, but I think it fits Silent Hill 4 best, because Henry has to be Eileen's Atlas, almost literally; he has to keep her going, with little regard for himself. He's saving the world, but he doesn't realise it; all he's doing is trying to stay alive and escpae from Walter's nightmare, and find his way back home - almost literally, again. In a way, it can fit Silent Hill 1 and Silent Hill 3, but it's a strange, strange way.
