02. Nothing To Say Music by Kiko Loureiro, Andre Matos, Ricardo Confessori Lyrics by Andre Matos
Long ago, the same sky above;
"It's lonesome when the sun goes down"; A day had come when we were like one: - Weapons up, never surrender! Oh, I saw the gleams of gold We'd kill and die conquering a virgin world The hold corrupted by the honour Living forevermore, leaving today Back to my place, I've got Nothing to say! Guilt and shame, it's all so insane Pagan gods die with no defence And we could go no further at all Digging the graves of our conscience Oh, the sounds, they still echo All of us drifting on seas of blood The hope hidden behind the horror Living forevermore, leaving today Back from this land, I've got Nothing to say! Living forevermore, leaving today; For all what remains I've got Nothing to say! Oh, how many years have gone Every morning I bare myself from love The love rising up from the sorrow Living forevermore, leaving today For all what remains I've got Nothing to say! Living forevermore - Nothing to say! Back to my place, I've got... Living forevermore - Nothing to say! For all what remains, I've got Nothing to say! 03. Silence And Distance Music & lyrics by Andre Matos
Been here for so long
On the morrow I'll dare Silent and distant Reaching out, unaware Stealing the whispers From my deepest request And you watch me Waiting for something new My hands, as empty As my body and soul Could keep pretending But in the heart I'd be gone... Still stare at my face But lost seem your eyes Keep hold of the sails Against the blue sky Ooh, I'm intending A way back to the sea This emptiness burns inside And leads on for endless miles Don't let me go Away across the sea, It may be much more wide Than what it seems to be Ooh, I'm still searching The way back to be freed The loneliness hangs around us However we can't see Now let me go Away across the sea, The waves can't be as high As they pretend to be And now I know In my heart, I won't forget The sails against the blue sky That taught me how to live ... with no sorrow And tomorrow we'll share Silence and distance 'Till our faults are repaired You'll be the mistress Who I'll never forget. 04. Carolina IV Music by R. Bittencourt, K. Loureiro, A. Matos, L. Mariutti, R. Confessori Lyrics by Rafael Bittencourt, Andre Matos
All I see floats with the wind
All the miracles of the water Are the miracles never seen Somehow my life now begins This music that's been played through time Now starts to reach my feet Feels like the flood of my needs From the harmony of forever Sound the melodies of the sea And you will know on the way I'm coming back to my enemies I'm turning around I'll be just coming back to my last days I'm coming back to the sea! So... why won't you come with me, my friend? Thrills... like we had before Hope... never showing up the same For a lonely man Since the day we left the land We've been anxious on approach Captain kept showing his plans: "Under sail we go!" Deep the ocean's blue I stare The reflections of my soul We have with us a special guest And for him we made a toast Carolina IV took a river to the sky Seven men on board taking part To take their hearts around All around, around the world! All I can recall that day On that very day for sure All hands up against the haze As we attempted the return Carolina IV took the river to the sky One man less on board - human dreams Have sometimes cost their lives, All their lives dreaming I've been such a fool I've been so afraid From my heart to you I say: - I'll be here to stay! Nothing much left from the boat Many years have been and gone Still I can't forget the past And the ones I left at home Carolina IV took the river to the sky Windy whistling nights Made me sail right into the wind's eye Now I'll die singing: I've been such a fool I've been so afraid From my heart to you I say: - I'll be here to stay! 05. Holy Land Music & lyrics by Andre Matos
We were born in a Golden Age
Beyond the creed Blown with the winds to meet The ones who creep And pray Unshod feet traces on fresh sand A map unfold Spreading out knowledge, Magic and love And then ... ooh, and then, Carried by wooden gods We leave toward the sky Gushed out the holy blood From those who die To bless Ooh, and dance... Ooh, still dance... Someone has sent Somebody here To bring an age Long disappeared Holy Land - Throw your scars on me! My soul just tends to be Your friend Holy Land - Holy Land around Holy Land - Holy Land is all... Someone has sent Somebody here To bring an age Long disappeared Holy Land - Show your signs to me! 'Cause I'm still here to see Your face Holy Land - Holy Land around Holy Land - Holy Land is all... Holy Land, Holy Land... 06. The Shaman Music & lyrics by Andre Matos
Oh boys, I've seen the old man;
Straw mask around the forehead The blaze, a blast and the awakening dead (The magic seeds will spread...) The bleeding warrior, he has fought (Healing leaves, piranha teeth, nobody leaves this place 'till the dawn!) Against the passion, for the love (Serpent skin, a savage scream, don't you believe, it grows and grows...) Oh boys, it's all so easy: Warn up the soul While the body is freezin'!.. - I swear it! Against the men for the land, Against the beast to survive Against the demons to keep the faith (The spirits and the fate...) A word - together they will shout! (Run and pray if you're afraid you better stay away from it all!) A rumble shakes up all the ground (Start to sing, to turn and spin, get rid of all your sins right now!...) Oh boys, it's all so easy: Warm up the soul While the body is freezin'! A word - together they will shout! (Healing leaves, piranha teeth, nobody leaves this place 'till the dawn!) Against the passion, for the love (Start to sing, to turn and spin, get rid of all your sins right now!...) Oh boys, it's all so easy: Warm up the soul While the body is freezin'! Still we can hope a single word together; Warm up the soul... - Boys, I swear I've been there! 07. Make Believe Music by Rafael Bittencourt, Andre Matos Lyrics by Rafael Bittencourt
Sat beside the meadow
Watching weeds grow Cleaned up all the ashes Of my soul Wrote down my own sentence Now you take your way Fades the last remembrance Of your lovely pretty face I, after all, Just a lonely man - a lonely heart! Working on the future Floating on fate Faced the circumstances Cleared up the shades, so Make believe There's no sorrow in your eyes Can't you see We could never get back from the start Minutes waiting, life's been wasted ... Maybe I wanna die some other day Hear the whispers of your hope The answer wasn't told No, don't laugh seeing me cry The end I've left behind (... The whispers of your hope are left behind!) Make believe There's no sorrow in your eyes Can't you see We could never get back from the start Minutes waiting, life's been wasted And I've tried, Maybe you deny Words of peace For the future of our lives Bring to me Something else than a broken heart I won't wait 'till my life is wasted ... Maybe I wanna die some other day 08. Z.I.T.O. Music by Kiko Loureiro, Rafael Bittencourt, Andre Matos Lyrics by Rafael Bittencourt
Somehow I turn around and see
My nerves break down inside Maybe you might know much more than me So tell me what is right to say Down the weakness of my soul Lie the secrets, and I know There's something pushing back Wish my hands could turn to gold And my heart would break the cold To give my thoughts some sense The turn is close, new century Still people think they're kings Now you've got your voice, Your own speech Don't wait 'till someone else agrees Swimming naked of beliefs And responsibilities Just feel the sea of bliss Mother nature brings to me In fantastic purity Everything I need Like a teenager discovery What's more delightful than this? Try to remember how good it was Feeling the life as it is To believe! New world was born out of man's dreams Now we walk on our own The angels cried, you've heard them weep But now it's time to make them sing! Swimming naked of beliefs And responsibilities Just feel the sea of bliss Mother nature brings to me In fantastic purity Everything I need Like a teenager discovery What's more delightful than this? Try to remember how good it was Feeling the life as it is To believe! 09. Deep Blue Music & lyrics by Andre Matos
Three cliffs there stand
High above where high winds howl Surrounding silence Three birds climb, then turn to fall Waiting for someday when the ocean and sky Will cover up the land in deep blue Renaissance is over and I wonder: - Should I always be the same once again? Take my hand and follow Sweeping trees, the coats of green Time has no place tomorrow Feel the good in endless dreams Waiting for someday when the ocean and sky Will cover up the land in deep blue Renaissance is over and I wonder: - Should I close my eyes and pray? - Feel like I've betrayed? - Always be the same? ... Always be the same once again? 10. Lullaby For Lucifer Music by Kiko Loureiro, Rafael Bittencourt Lyrics by Rafael Bittencourt
On the sand, by the sea
I left my heart to shed my grief A vulture came begging me: - Feed me with this piece of meat! I won't give away Something I need On a garden nursery I let my fancy wander free Children playing around a tree Sharing apples happily Come and rest with me Lay your hands on dreams I'll wait here by your side 'Till you fall asleep I'll wait until you cry All over me the tears you hide inside... 11. Queen Of The Night
Awaken the crystal bell of sorrow
Caught ourselves pretending our frustrations Were gone Once again, instead of facing the day We ran away; closed our eyes To keep learning on feelings we had We were close Misty memories of a past come by And I'll write my pray On your face of hidden secrets Never shared, freezing soul Dreams last forever To the empress of the dark Lay down on eternity Your music in the air Great delight in the symphony Our dance will never end The Queen of the Night The master of wisdom Pretending desires With the grace of thunder The Queen of the Night The feast of illusion Pretending desires With the grace of thunder |
