01. Life Can be

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
What if I described you my only dream?
What if I should tell you what is real?
Would you be prepared to hear the truth?
Could you be brave enough to listen?

Walking on filthy roads I got insane.
Reveal me one reason for the pain.
Now the world is changing I feel alone.
My youth died for my aging.

When I close my eyes everything is getting better...
...My only dream

I can dream and I can ride the wave.
Violent nightmares stop me when I 'm awake.
I never dreamed of such a dirty fight.
Life can be so frightening

When I close my eyes everything is getting better...

02. Poster On A Wall

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
I can feel her calling me again
There is no voice but picture only
then I can't pretend I 'm just a man

Faith.
Could I find her?
Pain,
Must be stronger.
Isn't she for real,
drowning in my fear?

I can feel her messing with my brain.
Should I fuck her while I 'm still insane?
I cannot tell or I don't care.

Faith.
Could I find her?
Pain.
Must be stronger.
Isn't she for real,
drowning in my fear?

Now.
Could I have her?
Lying in my bedroom
she can be a wave,
ride it 'cause you are brave.

Kill me! After all I 'm done with my
practicing on human kind.
Kill me and forgive me if I 'm not that strong
but I 'm alone.

You hear me calling
as you swim against the tide.
Some stars are falling
I invite you for a ride.
The fall does matters
but collision is what counts
You fear the latter
You could never reach your bounds.

03. Afraid To Believe

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
I can't see a reason to believe and hope
sometimes I smile like a fool thinking of you
I free my sight and I loose my mind
and I feel the truth and I come to say

(I'm afraid that I can't believe)

Why can't you look me in the eyes now?
I wonder why you have changed.
Are you afraid of what you will see?
Is it the truth that hurts?
I guess I won't stay. I 'm leaving today.
I 'm running away.
I've opened the door I guess it was wrong
to give more

Nothing is stronger than your secret ways
I've spent so many days trying to find you
Through my naked voice I speak a dirty noise
Hate and love mixed up

(I'm afraid that I can't believe)

Why can't you look me in the eyes now?
I wonder why you have changed.
Are you afraid of what you will see?
Is it the truth that hurts?
I guess I won't stay. I 'm leaving today.
I 'm running away.
I've opened the door I guess it was wrong
to give more

I've got the pain
You've got the lie
I've got to go there is nothing inside
I've got my loving
You've got the hate
Gotta make out with my life and I'm late
Will you be there for me
helping me
next to me?
You will never be.
I've got the faith
You've got yourself
You've got your ego the center of world

We cannot start all over again

Why don't you die?

I won't spend more time
I in fear will hide

04. Unsung Songs

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
From all I've seen and all I've known
there is one song I sing no more
there is a pain from deep inside

For many years I felt so strong
a single tear I did not share.
I was that brave or I pretended?

and maybe I was just too young
and spent all my thoughts for fun
but I had only good intentions.

...But I found out...

Becoming someone else than me
was just the way it had to be
as I was searching for addictions.

The rope was tripping down my throat
and she was never ending hope
but even her true love got weaker.

...and I cry now...

I meet myself again!
- Hold on
I 'm making no mistakes this time.

See me crying again!
- Don't go
I have to be myself this time.

05. Lack In Resorts

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
Stay here
live up to
what we
believed in
the moments we cried
when our love died
when you arrived.

Stay with me in this
time to remember
Let us be in this
garden forever
All my life
I've waited this moment to come
This dust now just fucks up my mind

We are
your questions.
You are
our answers.
Build up
the prison
in which
we dream of
the things we can buy
in order to fly
to the place where we can hide

Stay with me in this
time to remember
Let us be in this
garden forever
All my life
I've waited for this moment to come
This dust now just fucks up my mind

Stay!

we can hide from...

Seems we are solid but we
are just afraid, crawling.

They can't escape it
They smile but they fake it
There is nothing to carry them all safe back home

Father I need you
Where are you?
I miss you now that I need your love that makes me feel strong

06. Gallant Nights

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
Hey, it looks wonderful today
it 's the perfect day to play "lonely".
Why all the darkness?
- Wait for the morning comes...
Why all the pain?
- Wait here to meet me...

They thought always giving me hope
They thought I 'd better try on my own.
They thought in their colorful way.
They know I'll be back to give love some day.

Hey, it's high time I got the chance.
Find the answer at a glance, finally.
Why are we frightened?
- We need this to go on
Why are we waiting?
- Some thinking has to be done

07. When I'm Gone

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
Save your self when I 'm gone
those wasted moments won't return.
You will see me once again flying
but then you are on your own
When I 'm gone.

The time, we spend it in this world.
I won't forget it 'cause life was so long.
You will see me once again flying
or maybe dying.
When I 'm gone.

08. Rampant In K-ism

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
All there is now is bars, drugs and parties
All we are now ketamized and burned minds
Reaching out for friends can bring the light from paradise
that can warm up
cold-blooded people, the people, I 'm just yelling to

- WE 'RE GONNA GET NOW SPACED OUT!

Psychic days are gone I 'm asking for some more.

I 'm calling upon people

It's much too late to find the reason in our human minds
We've got to search behind forgotten back doors leading to
our innocence from lost lives

10. Quotation For Listening

Music by Chris D. & Minas G.
Lyrics by Stefanos K. & Minas G.
Help me. Will you?
Tell me. Will you?
This can be my last
searching in the past.

Put the blame on
my obsessions.
I have tried so much tonight
the moment seemed so right

Help me. Will you?
Be my lover.
I don't think you 're nice
'cause I have to pay the price.

You are the only
one I have got here.
My loneliness in your room.
My time is up so soon.

I 'd charge you for an hour
I 'd charge you for a night
but this, beyond my power,
is touching me inside.
Some words are there for talking
some others cut like knife
Your presence everlasting
could cost you all your life.
