Once again we behold the future behind a cloud
It scares you Drawn as a beauty, stained with tainted paint Once born is the last of us and the skies are fawn Lead me Into the brightest light, never ending dawn We've build us a wonder, gone through amazing days In hindsight Cloudy ahead, the sky's always clear behind We shall not scare the children Cast our phobias atop their joy of life Every generations every book Every page's is getting drawn on, burned But we can save this world if we move a tad slower Every open window, we are giving to a child Is how we buy ourselves out of time We learn or the world will burn Hope, the future is built on maybe, albeit the whitest of lies White lies They have a value, serving a purpose When we guide our children, the future's blinding light You can lernen on the hope one day you'll live in a lighthouse We shall not scare the children Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life Every generations every book Every page's is getting drawn on, burned But we can save this world if we move a tad slower Every open window, we are giving to a child Is how we buy ourselves out of time We learn or the world will burn We fling rocks into the dark In hopes they hit a mark One day you'll know this blindness The views and fears of the unknown We hide what we don't know But we should not tell you there's a party in the black hole Yet we don't know Every generations every book Every page's is getting drawn on, burned But we can save this world if we move a tad slower Every open window, we are handing to a child Is how we buy ourselves out of time We'll learn or the world keeps burning Every generation has a purpose In the circle getting drawn on, hurt Yet we can save this world if we move on slower In lack of a silver spoon, maybe we should solve the problems Now we're the first in line This world, like a clock, we've let unwind 02. California
So, you think you now have found yourself a game
With smiles and lies you climb the walls To every heart, far apart The seer’s thousand faces share a name A thousand tales, unfolding now within a day, everywhere Scars keep score The broken pieces, gold on the floor For you, love’s a game, a chore Counting the rounds like a revolving door I’m yours on the day when California falls into the sea The birds know the way and fly away, if one day California falls into the sea You’ll never find the way, the key To lock me down, I’m free Now, as you have failed to hear me out, again Made deaf by your own open mouth… I think it’s only fair I live my life Enjoy the day, go find my beach And have my moments in the sun Scars keep score The broken pieces, gold on the floor For you, love’s a game, a chore Counting the rounds like a revolving door I’m yours on the day when California falls into the sea California falls into the sea California falls into the sea California falls into the sea The day you find a way to lock me down California falls into the sea California falls into the sea You wait for California to fall into the sea I cannot find a tongue you speak I’ve tried them all, can you leave me be? Preeeeego! When California falls into the sea When California falls in to the sea It’s safe to say We’ll never see the day 03. Shah Mat
Temperature falls, soon the hills are frozen
The pawns and the noble alike must bow The gates to the north availed in blue Warm is the ring hidden in my hand Turned has the flow and the sides are chosen We've bent the rules 'till they all were broken Bonfire warming the cooling hearts The game we've played ain't over yet So take your time As no one's gonna win tonight You can see me in the dark Hidden on the lighter side, on frozen land I will thrive, now make your move While unfrozen, there is but one thing You seem to make your own rules Why my every move's a sacrifice How to end this game without letting it go Snow falls, the frozen leaves are left behind Tattered on the mound Every time we move one piece We lose one way to a common ground Walking away with a sense of reason Feels like a victory, tastes like treason We're in a stalemate you call a resolve The easiest thing in the world, being difficult Gone is the golden day Clear the table for the new Maybe you can write yourself the roles anew And one day, someone lets you Take your time Maybe you will find your rhyme And embrace light in your life Queen of the dark, with me you're out of time Out of time, this game, dead, futile 04. Dark Empath
So, you told everyone
You're falling in love With this wonderful guy The kind you all have to see Touching your soul Reaching to your heart Knowing your needs Making you beautiful Walks on the beach Calling you Mon chéri Dancing tonight Holding you close Scanning your pains Naming them, learning them Feeding the love Sent from above You think when I claim You are my everything Little too much, little too soon, you think Sometimes Soon you will learn that my love is A riddle, I´m a mourning dove Turning brittle, you shall become What I need you to feed me, love Intimidated, weep Love me, feed me pain so deep While I still need to hear you Call me your love Stand in the rain, alone in the dark Wait for a train you know will never come Hip-hip hooray, you can´t wish me away Now that I have the key And know when you´re home alone I have never let you know me, My love, Changing the locks, changing your name, I´m a Riddle, I´m a mourning dove… Love, always, lonely, Feed me love, feed me pain, Weakness you have shown me Fills my dark, bruise-black heart Always, only mine, you are Perfect life Perfect, I HA! You will learn how deep a bruise can be You will learn my name, unriddle me Once upon, guess I was made this way Beauty, trusting love, my fuel, my prey Tell me you're merely token, My love Tell me you're forever broken Riddle, I´m a mourning dove Turning brittle, you shall become What I need you to feed me, love Intimidated, weep Love me, feed me pain so deep Cause I still need to hear… Still need your pain, keep feeding me, love 05. Cure For Everything
Stories told, made real in life, unfold in many ways
It may feel cruel when painted maps have colors I can't see When those days come, you see me dwell in suffering I know the ways worlds may melt down I hear the songs that give me all the power I will need for the day The notes and the lines, all fill me at the same time Strike the chords I believe in We all, we all need songs we can believe in Feel the power and we have a cure for everything We all need songs we can believe in Feel empowered, let go of the songs you cannot sing You're not too old to play I'd love to see a smile adorn your face Light my days, "o sole mio" A song to light the stars, one day you'll need them Yet there are days we feel the need for power To help us fly across the day The notes and the lines, all fill you at the same time When your songs are living And we all, we all need songs we can believe in Feel the power, then we have a cure for everything We all need songs we can believe in Feel empowered, sing out all the songs you're holding in We all need songs we can believe in Feel the power and we have a cure for everything We all need songs we can believe in Feel empowered, learning all the songs you cannot sing We all learn to fly We're eagle-like creatures in the sky Light my days, "o sole mio" A song to light the stars, you have the freedom to sing 06. A Monster Only You Can't See
Far in the skies
Where the stars attach to the strings You have seen angels fall, when a monster clips their wings Darkness tonight Someone whispers in the void The loveliest things in your ear You’ve been warned, you must avoid When you hear the bells, heed the call Tread without a fear, my friend On your shoulder we behold A monster only you can’t see Anymore Can we keep the rain abay Once, you were sliding away All the way down, without a rail, you Tried a new way Driving everyone away Your eyes cannot lie like your face There is no glory in disgrace, but Friends are near We are here We still carry all those Things you believed in, asshole We have bent the rules We have lied Loved and known you’ll rise again Friends will do all this for you Child is aborn Oh so feeble in this place You are the guide they adore Hopelessly lost within a maze, but Friends are near… We have bent the rules… We will bend the rules We will fight Help you, we will win tonight Spread your wings and you will rise Sure, your mind weighs like a boulder There’s a monster on your shoulder Words and phrases, meanings, faces Virtues, vices, Your luck’s based on balanced dices We are you, you are us Always, you’re one of us Respect, asshole You don’t know just how much we sometimes have sacrificed to be there for you Your keys and the keyholes once will be found Dreams and reality, aligned You’ve grown and found things you thought were left behind Smile and you will see this world smile back at you We’ve bent rules for you We have lied Loved and known you’ll rise again Friends will do it all for you We will bend the rules We will fight Help you, we will win tonight Spread your wings and you will rise We will bend the rules We will fight Love and know you’ll rise again Friends will do all this for you We will bend the rules... 07. Teardrops
Once again
Teardrops are racing down Engraving the lines of life The teardrops are racing down Again Oh, sometimes Love's like a thistledown It flies away at times One tear can bring it back down Swirling winds, sails torn to pieces Leading the old Ghost Love Boat aground Can you see me? Time can't make weakness a power Turning the Old Ghost Love Boat around Sewing the sails I'm chasing the storm's Sweet embrace The night has a beautiful face Stranger censes numb my senses May I taste your tears? Salt can make my heart grow harder How come I always find myself taking your place? Again Teardrops are racing down Engraving the lines of life The sails lay torn on the ground And I'm asking Why me? Help me Roses dried hung on the ceiling Maybe one last time, sails I'm a-heaving Engraving the words on skin, wood and steel My Old Ghost Love Boat plows the sea Oh, sweet embrace The night has a beautiful face Stranger cences numb my senses May I taste one tear? One more rose cut, dead and dry on the ground Again Teardrops are racing down Engraving the lines of life The sails lay torn on the ground And I'm asking why again Dry roses keep me afloat I'm seeking My Old Ghost Love Boat Waiting for me on the shoals of love never found 08. Angel Defiled
Guardians of many faces howling at the waning moon
Crying for the dying daisies Messenger, a divination, ravenously flying back Has a thousand tricks up his sleeve Guiding you across the river, takes you to the other side Once a fable, now a common myth Teaching one a way of living, another what they must unlearn To become a witch they cannot burn Oh, they cannot climb up all the walls That you have left behind Oh, you have to fly across the sky again to not become a prey You can see the evil in their eyes as they sing! You were made for hungering, you and all the beasts Fear and all the ignorance will fuel their fire Linger on the sky above to gather the crowds The sign to rid their daughters and their sons of all doubt Keeping them company while gazing at the sky The Witch holding their hand is but an Angel defiled Hide away what you may, in the dark the gleaming eyes see you anyway One more night the town may dream in their sleep Days to come may bring nightmares Every waning moon the witch will bring you one lost memory Dancing with her groom, growing wings to cross the sky You can see the evil in their eyes as they sing! You were made for hungering, you and all the beasts Fear and all the ignorance will fuel their fire Linger on the sky above to gather the crowds The sign to rid their daughters and their sons of all doubt Keeping them company while gazing at the sky The Witch holding their hand is but an Angel like a Witch amongst you. Angel Defiled! 09. The Best Things
Oh, I live for your smile
Gain power from the flowers you're gathering And when the hour is blue I see you feeding a blackbird by the pool Feel asking for more would be greed I can but surrender I think you have given me everything Now every hour I confess You're the best thing in my life I have nothing to gain By running around, because suddenly The house is full of it all The racket and reasons we are all here for Feel asking for more would be greed I can but surrender You've given me everything Now every hour I confess You're the best things in my life Nothing can beat this life we have You are the best things I have in my life Every night I thank the stars above For all the best things in my life For all the best things in my life I have nothing to win When everything's splendour It will only take some time Every hour these moments in the sun These are the best things in my, In my life Every hour we fly around the sun These are the best things in my life Every night we fly around the sun We walk around the moon, sometimes Every hour these moments in the sun These are the best things in my life Every night I thank the stars above For all the best things in my... In my... In our... Life 10. Clear Cold Beyond
It's hard to fill open pages and close the book for the day
When the daylight, come tomorrow may elude you Find your room in the rubble, clear the floor of your past Can you now believe what your own hands could also do? Sometimes lips can start a a war And sometimes a kiss can save you... Dream of flying, soar amongst storm clouds You, you have to go and save your peers from the man-made God Dream of flying, far above the front-line Dreams are only dreams But sometimes dreams are all we have Hope to see a reaction, touch a cloud with your lips Be a picture of a moment someone holds, one day Have to find a connection for words that weight like a whale Watch the faces that behold you slowly turn pale Love can kill and sometimes lips can end a war Dream of flying, soar amongst storm clouds You, you have to go and save your peers from the man-made God Dream of flying, far above the front-line Dreams are only dreams But sometimes dreams are all we have Sometimes lips can start a a war And sometimes your kiss can save a life And sometimes dreams are all we have And sometimes dreams will make things clear Cold beyond When we go Far beyond Clear Cold Beyond Far beyond Far beyond Clear Cold Beyond You believe in your dream Clear Cold Beyond Let's believe, in a dream... Believe in peace |
