Bullet Lyrics

Time is like a bullet from behind
I run for cover just like you
Time is like a liquid in my hands
I swim for dry land just like you

Time is like a blanket on my face
I try to be here just like you
Time is just a fiction of our minds
I will survive and so will you

We are the only ones right now that are celebrating
And we are joining hands right now
We are the only ones right now that are suffocating
We are the dying ones right now

2x
As the water grinds the stone
We rise and fall
As our ashes turn to dust
We shine like stars

Kisses on the dancefloor in my past
I need some comfort just like you
Beating like a bass drum time goes by
I want the last dance just like you

Drowning in the flood of morning light
I'm only human just like you
Do you hear the city waking up
I will survive and so will you

We are the ones the only ones
We are the ones the dying ones
We are the ones the only ones
We are the ones and we are joining hands

We are the only ones right now that are celebrating...

3x
As the water grinds the stone
We rise and fall
As our ashes turn to dust
We shine like stars

There is more than one known artist who once went under the name Covenant:

1. Swedish electronic act Covenant was started by a group of friends in Helsingborg in western Sweden. Eskil Simonsson, Joakim Montelius, and Clas Nachmanson inspired by bands like Kraftwerk, The Human League, and by EBM pioneers Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb.
In university life in Lund southeast of Helsingborg they assembled a small recording studio in Nachmanson's bedroom and began to experiment with their own musical compositions. In 1989, the name "Covenant" was selected for the group, the name derived from the spiritual bond the trio professes to share.

Their first publicly-released track "The Replicant", was made by invitation of Swedish record label Memento Materia and released on a compilation album in 1992 The track thrilled label executives prompting them to ask for a full album. In 1994, the group compiled enough songs to release the album, which became Dreams of a Cryotank. It was well received by critics and fans alike, and with its success they decided to take their musical efforts more seriously, upgrading and adding more equipment, relocating their studio, and committed to tour.

In 1995, Covenant performed at a festival in Germany on request of Off-Beat Records. The band impressed Off-Beat's A&R representative, who signed them to a record deal the following day leading up to 1996's Sequencer.

San Francisco-based record label 21st Circuitry agreed to distribute Covenant's albums in the United States, expanding the band's reach and Covenant recorded the Theremin EP in 1997 specifically for an American release and began touring throughout the US and Canada.

Their third album Europa was released in 1998 carrying Covenants music into the beat-driven realm of synth pop, marking the beginning of a gradual evolution in the band's sound. They also sued the Norwegian black/industrial metal band The Kovenant (then known as Covenant) for the rights to the name

After some label developments with Off-Beat, Covenant was signed with SubSpace Communications in Sweden, effectively ending their tenure with Memento Materia. Meanwhile, 21st Circuitry Records ceased operations, leading the three to find a new home in America with Metropolis Records.

United States of Mind was released in 2000 and with it Covenant's tendencies strayed further into synth pop.
A live album, Synergy was released later in the year.

The group continued with 2002's Northern Light

The sixth studio album Skyshaper was released in March 2006 followed by tours in Europe prior to the album's release and then the United States.

In 2007 Clas Nachmanson departed the band.

In October 2007, Covenant released the road movie In Transit on DVD containing recorded material from the Skyshaper world tour and documents the band's travels in Europe, North America, South America and across Russia for a period of 18 months.

2. Covenant, now known as The Kovenant, was a Norwegian band which has evolved from a melodic symphonic black metal band to industrial metal/harsh industrial on more recent albums. The band changed the name due to a dispute with the Swedish band that shared the same name.

3. Covenant is also the name of the progressive rock project of Dave Gryder, ex-drummer of metal band Rotting Corpse. So far, he has released one album under the Covenant moniker: 1992’s Nature’s Divine Reflection, on which he plays all the keyboards and drums.
