01. The Call

Music by Didier Chesneau, Christophe Babin
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
Whisper here to my ear
Prove you're there, come along closer to me near
When lost in a break-down
I never needed to make sure you were there
Your presence helped me to make refind through you my way
Make me feel
Closing my eyes I could discry your smile

You made me feel like the "Queen of the Night"
I often see your nice face in the crowd
I heard your distinct voice, your deep advice and your precious care
Just like forgiving the worst of the bad
Make me feel, you make me feel

Where are you when I call ya
Never there when I need ya
Should I sing to find you there
Where are you when I need ya
Never there when I call ya
Should I cry to make you stay

Back to a call in question
Yeah I tried to hold on and feel the color of my pain
Tell me what I should do once you decide to let me

Where are you when I call ya
Never there when I need ya
Should I sing to find you're there
Where are you when I need ya
Never there when I call ya

02. Getting Down To It

Music by Didier Chesneau
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
I remember the last time I really got down to it
Fed up with people I wanted first to kill them all
Now that I'm cured of this ill I can tell you what occured
But above all do not judge before you know

Lost in a crowd of strangers I felt suddenly out of my mind
Luckily I has no weapon on me otherwise I would have shot
You gotta know I had to stop before it turns into nightmare
Arrived at the point of no return I was unable to decide

I'm in madness and trance
Like a wild fire on desire, I'm on desire
Be my wish far from my dreams and feel the pain I feel deep inside

Many times I searched it for the desire of getting down to it
Many times I found it but not in any familiar friends of mine
Many times I searched it for the desire of getting down to it
Many times I found it but not in any familiar friends of my life
Friends of my life

Once in a while I met a guy who was sicker than I
You should have seen him swearing he would do it even if he would have died
I felt this sense of madness in me knocking along in my heart
Yeah I felt this crazy feeling coming faster that falling apart

You gotta know I am able to become risky for a while and why can't I
Should I hope to save the sensation of being someone else
Lost for a while beside a shadow alike mine
I better run away from this bad skin that transforms me in someone I don't like

03. Trilogy part I : Presence

Music by Didier Chesneau
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
He makes me smile after the pain, he dries my eyes again
He's like a rainbow after the rain, he cures myself again
He wipes all my tears again
Reading those lines here in my hand, a protection flies over my way
Gift of the sky or pure chance? Can't hear his voice but can feel his strength
Believe in hope is my Carpe Diem, I open my heart, implore him in vain
He lets me lost in the doubt again, once again

Angel:
Day by day we stand beside
We try to guide you and to give you the light
The one that comes from the universal existence
We help you to understand in silence

We hope and we try to be wise
Do we all live and die in this big mess of lies?
Can you tell us why we always have to know the both sides?
We suffer, that's the way it goes
Our belief in eternal sky is maybe too vain
When it seems trust and faith are both the same

Oh you're like a rainbow after the rain
Will you keep on wiping my tears in the pain, even more when I doubt again

I'll try and I'll hope to be wise
Never let me live or die in this big mess of why, please hear my cry
Can you tell me why I always have to know the both sides?
I suffer, that's the way it goes
My belief in eternal sky is maybe too vain
When it seems trust and faith are both the same

I can feel you in the air I'm breathing
In the clouds, in the flowers and even in the highest trees
In the fire that sometimes gives so often his warmth inside of me
Messenger of deep love you're there, the whole part of my life

Once at night I opened up my eyes, then a silent presence I descried
Brought a wind of doubts and made me cry
Whose voice was it I just wonder now, good or evil ? I will never know
Right or wrong can be nearest somehow

With your glimmer I can draw the divine essence leading to knowledge
Watching over my slumber you protect my dreams and all my hopes
Your beauty and harmony together and always to guide my way

When? Between wrong or right?
What? Colour black or white?
How? To get hell -it's here- or paradise?
Why? Oh why do good and evil fight?

04. Trilogy part II : The Message

Music by Didier Chesneau
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
Evil:
Follow me by now, hell is near

You'd better hurry from this kind of men
Better leave behind you all this love and hate you know
Better hurry from this kind of pain
Better run away before it turns to the worst
Follow me by now
No I won't cause your track is the way of downfall
Follow me by now
No I won't cause your day is the light of nightfall

You'd better hurry from this kind of men
Better leave behind you all this love and hate
You tell lies
Hear my prayers Sir
Hear my cry
Hear my voice
You'd better hurry from this kind of pain
You tell lies
Better run away before it turns to the worst
Hear my cry
Hear my prayers Sir
You will die
Hear my voice and my soul

Your track is the way of downfall
When it leads our soul on to the light
Your day is the light, it's he light of nightfall
When he comes to us in the starry night
I can nearly fly, I can fly, here's the light, here's the light

When do we have to choose for the wrong or right?
Tell me what is better? Colour black or white
And how to get hell or paradise
When do we have to choose for the wrong or right?
What is better? Tell me is it black or white
And how to get hell or paradise

Follow me by now
No I won't cause your track is the way of downfall
Follow me by now
No I won't cause your day is the light of nightfall
Hell is weak and dastard we can win!

You'd better hurry from this kind of men
Better leave behind you all this love and hate
You tell lies
Hear my prayers Sir
Hear my cry
Hear my voice
You will die
You'd better hurry from this kind of pain
You tell lies
Better run away before it turns to the worst
Hear my cry
Hear my prayers Sir
You will die
Hear my voice

Follow? follow? follow? follow me
Follow? follow? follow me? by now

When do we have to choose for wrong or right?
What is better? Tell me is it black or white?
Why do evil and good have to fight

Hear my praying voice cause I have made my choice
I will follow your light

I hear whispers you pray
Silent and proud I stay
Wisdom now guides your way
Follow your light

I can hear your whispers when you pray
Hear my whispers
Feel you silent, proud, beside, you stay
Serene wisdom
Serene wisdom will now guide your way
Follow your light
Feel you silent, proud, beside, you stay
Hear my cry
Serene wisdom will now guide your way
Follow me

05. Trilogy part III : Acknowledgements

Music by Didier Chesneau
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
In your angel heart I will give you the light
But why, but why do we give in?

But why do I sometimes fear the great enlightment you're giving me?
Yes tell me why do I doubt again even when I'm sure you're here by me?
Your immense talent is it always stronger than the evil that can be so heavenly?
And how can I ever be right to choose for nothingness or eternity?
Are you the answer?

You're like a rainbow after the rain
Will you keep on wiping my tears in the pain even more when I doubt again
When can I expect to meet you at last?

Whenever you wish I'll be waiting in the delight of a magic starry night
Or in a radiant morning light
Over the rainbow I will fly
Let me live this delightful story
I'll even give you my soul when I die
If the aim is to reach you here in the sky
Thanks a lot to make a sign
I know I can reach you wherever you are

06. Last Will

Music by Didier Chesneau
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
I'd like to know the reason why
So many people are not afraid to die
Now that you're gone I feel so lonely
So isolated

I took away my pain with the lack of your existence
I took away the hardest moments but I'm still missing your arms
I don't wanna give what you decide
They will have to kill me for all that
I don't wanna let you 'til I die
They will have to burn me alive

Let them do it
I won't take a roundabout way
Oh I feel so lonely
Oh come back to me

Read the last will in a sight
With accepting what's in every lines
Or you can take the last will as a present
Or a gift that no one can assent
You can make the last will with some pleasure
You're maybe the last one to endure
Or take the last will like desire
You will become free from the heart

Can you tell me what we learn about death except that it hurts and makes us cry
It's a fact you can't imagine, it's just an awful thing that breaks all
When it occures to a king all the kingdom comes

07. Seven

Music by Aymeric Ribot
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
I was born a seven and it's one sign
Seven is my favourite one
Number of perfection in some countries
Culture is so vast that I can't tell all about
Even seven notes in a musical air
Or the seven sins that sometimes guide my way
You've got seven years for a pact with the devil
And seven years when you break mirrors

But seven colors for a rainbow
Seven days for a week with you
Seven wonders in the world
And seven years for revival
You've got the astral down made of seven worlds
The seventh art is also my favourite one
Seven means "creation" in India
Without forgetting seven lotus chakras

More mystic is the Apocalypse
The beast is described with awful seven heads
In the Hebraic tales seven means "take a vow"
There is a seven stars mystery
But you're still joking with me
Cause you hate sundays which are the seventh days
But I don't mind this time it's OK
You're born a eight, one day after seven
After seven

08. Never Enough

Music by Didier Chesneau, Christophe Babin
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
'Got to tell you what I see right there from my eyes
A love story is born between this girl and this guy
Two innocents in the prime of life and without aim
In marge of society, united far from all game
Now it's seems that their love is deep and passion is high
We'll never know why and how it all rocked one day in their life

But they hoped it, and they gave in
Newly separated
Other chances coming, once again ready for a new start
Are they falling apart

Never enough space in their sky
What a tricky situation
Never enough love in their heart
And what about their own relation
No there is never enough blue in their eyes
Will they ever pretend to live free
And there is never enough place in their mind
So who gonna tell them how to be

In their mess of life they profane and waste
As if love was forgotten for a new story
Oh gone for somewhere she lets him with this compromise :
'You'd better find someone else enough blind"

And she hoped it, but she gave in
Badly separated
Look for chances and hope, once again ready for a new start
Never falling apart

From his side he manages to get the girl back

09. Give Up Once

Music by Didier Chesneau
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
It begins with "once upon a time"
A simple story full of signs
Like in a fairy tale their love is deep and high
All was right until she died killed while the fight with the other side
That's when he decided to forget his own life of pride

Fight, fight
Like waging war against his own desire
Fight, fight
He'll never win against his heart

Take away this hate you have inside no one will bring her to you
Fight for freedom's always stronger than a fight for her
Take away this bad idea to fight for another true romance
And you'll give up once

Like an old warrior he tries to struggle for a sincere feeling
And his soul is so hurt that he forgets the pain but it's still there
How shy he can be and how stupid he is to believe he can win
Freedom is his only cure for love and faith for a new life

And when he tries to laugh about his past
When he sometimes forgets the worst
While others cry and feel hurt he stands apart
Then he knows he can win the fight

10. Awaken Dream

Music by Didier Chesneau
Lyrics by Sylvie Grare
I turn on the light
Can not sleep without you here by my side
Out in the streets I wander in the night
Will myself change in Jekyll or Hyde
Oh in the neon light
Finally found the moon out there in the sky
Then a cloud buries all in the dark
As if I'm blind I am losing my marks
Oh in the neon sign
Now that it's so late can I find my way
And leave all those empty streets that maybe lead me nowhere
Then a strange creature appears to me
A semblance of ghost looking strange to myself with my eyes and my voice
Do I fall crazy now face to this perfect creature
That wants me now to hold her hand in this starry night

No no I won't fall face to you, I took her hand
And she's taking me to what she calls her kingdom
Behind the neon light right there I found
Like a parallel world in three dimensions
To reach this beauty place need to have two wings and know how to fly
Believe in paradise and enjoy sensations
When you will meet your ghost don't be afraid and be confident
The seamy side of life will then now become yours

Misleading is insomnia when you doubt you sleep
Asleep or wide awake the question is so deep
Deceptive is insomnia it can make you feel
Your slumber is so weak that it can be real

Got to believe it strong when you wake up thinking it could be wrong
