Raintime - Flies & Lies lyrics



Tracks



01. Flies & Lies

Sometimes I can't recognize
My own self defaced by this mask
That kills my image worn out
By the fake and by the mistake
At times I look in the eyes
Of those who want me as a prize!
They ask for another one!
It seems they don't understand!

Debating a frustrating life
I feel that something isn't right
They want another one!
They want to kill my pride!
They want another one!
They want to kill my pride!

Never surrounded by this wall of pride
But I'm living in it
Always avoided by this hall of fame
But it rolls around me

I see people like flies
Landing on shit: "What a surprise!"
They ask me if I wanna be fed
But I'd rather be dead
I've always recognized that they've only lies
They ask for another one!
It seems they don't understand!

Debating a frustrating life
I feel that something isn't right
They want another one!
They want to kill my pride!
They want another one!
They want to kill my pride!

Never surrounded by this wall of pride
But I'm living in it
Always avoided by this hall of fame
But it rolls around me

02. Rolling Chances

Once again I've breathed the fire
Awaking inside those feelings
That won't go!
I've sensed this before

Another weak and cruel desire
Bothering me and it won't leave me alone!
I won't pay this toll

I always felt that this could be
A good chance for me to see
If I could fit into a world
That moves

I fell so strange and so deranged
One other chance flew by
To solve my shit I only need a try
I am so stressed and so depressed
'Cause I keep hiding from
A thing that could be a new dawn

I gonna try to see if I
Can make up my mind and live this crazy show!
I will need it all
All the strength and will that I
Will gather from my trembling little soul!
I will need it all!

I always felt that this could be
A good chance for me to see
If I could fit into a world
That moves

03. Apeiron

When the flame inside you burns out
A gust of cold wind freezes your breath:
A prelude for the Dark Hand
To catch your soul,
you can imagine it will happen to all

It comes dressed in shades
From the silence of nowhere
A black face without a face
Its Dark Hand points at you
A deep voice echoes around
Listen to the call:

"Come with me, follow me
Let the (your) pain behind.
Don't be afraid to step
Into the silent land where
Twisted souls dance with the dark"

After you've left behind
Your chances and dreams
You realize and ask:
"What does it mean?" putting aside
your problems and please
Will take you away from the following days

It comes dressed in shades
From the silence of nowhere
A black face without a face
Its Dark Hand points at you
A deep voice echoes around
Listen to the call:

"Come with me, follow me
Let the (your) pain behind.
Don't be afraid to step
Into the silent land where
Twisted souls dance with the dark"

04. Rainbringer

Don't want your dirty eyes pointing on me!
Don't wanna see your face tricking me another time!
My life reached it's pinnacle
but your wet touch isn't my goal.
I fly to different skies,
I can't stand no more your lies!

Another stupid soul has fallen into my trick again!
Another pure soul will increase my reign!
I am the rainbringer, the ruler stronger than your god!
And you will drown forever lost!

It once seemed love...
(but) was all a lie!
Will someone else need a try?
I feel like a dove
so far away
but I've forgotten all the rain!

Don't wanna touch your dirty hand
that write false words on the sand!
I am the wind that cleans them up!
I will blow until you'll drown in pain!
My life reached it's pinnacle
but your wet touch isn't my goal.
I fly to different skies,
I can't stand no more your lies!

I'll break the glass of pain that you
make from kidnapped souls!
I'll run for my new life that you
won't rule or destroy!

It once seemed love...
(but) was all a lie!
Will someone else need a try?
I feel like a dove
so far away
but I've forgotten all the rain!

I'll break the glass of pain that you
make from kidnapped souls!
I'll run for my new life that you
won't rule or destroy!

It once seemed love...
(but) was all a lie!
Will someone else need a try?
I feel like a dove
so far away
but I've forgotten all the rain!

05. Finally Me

I can feel that thing again
It lurks down in my pain
Every morning it's the same
I can't stand it no more

Ande I've walked and walked alone
Until the smile I lost and who knows
How to put up with my jokes

All the tears that I kept
From falling down
Now I can
Let them shiver away
And leave aside the
Shame

There are stupid little things
Than no one understands
I can sense a new sunrise
That is framed by your eyes

And I walk and walk with you
Slightly embarassed for my words
That I've never used before

All the tears that I kept
From falling down
Now I can
Let them shiver away
And leave aside the
Shame

I breathe those whispers that are
Guiding me so above
I feel those shivers caressing me
like the rain that falls

All the tears that I kept
From falling down
Now I can
Let them shiver away
And leave aside the
Shame

06. Tears Of Sorrow

Another drop falls from a flower
And it seems it could take an hour
(I'm) drowning I can't breathe
I can't cope with this bleak sensation
I feel killed by anger and frustration
This won't be our last good-bye

Only now I realize how precious is the light
It's so cold without your smile

Hope will suffocate my pain again tomorrow
Though my lonely dreams you'll soon live again
Let my tears create a shadow on your sorrow
(I'll) always fell inside a never-ending stain

A blast of wind has blown out your candle
It's a pain that I could't handle
Tears are bursting out of my bleeding eyes
I cant't cope with this situation
I am filled with anger and frustration
This cna't be our last good-bye
Good-bye!!!

Hope will suffocate my pain again tomorrow
Though my lonely dreams you'll soon live again
Let my tears create a shadow on your sorrow
(I'll) always fell inside a never-ending stain

Don't wanna meet the other side
'til I get to find myself
Gonna say it one more time
I must live again!

Hope will suffocate my pain again tomorrow
Though my lonely dreams you'll soon live again
Let my tears create a shadow on your sorrow
(I'll) always fell inside a never-ending stain

07. The Black Well

Lost!
Caught by the smile of the moon,
wandering through the unknown,
remembering how was my home,
raped by the cold of the
solitude that I detest,
it aches inside when I can't rest... I Fear!
Voices whispering my name,
chasing dreams that look so vane...
the well behind the gate will soon change my fate!

Frost... getting inside of my wounds,
The well... reflecting the shine of the moon!

The shimmering light of the moon, so pale!
Allows to look directly into it's face!
Leading me into an immortal state of grace,
not as her radiant brother... The sun!!!

The sun... who keeps my eyes away from him,
his blinding light, it's inhibition for my dreams,
it seems...
at night I feel pleased,
but now I need...

Dark!
Forever to keep me alive!
I won't be able to stand
another day of the light...
awaking inside of the
solitude that I detest,
it aches inside when I can't rest... I Fear!
Voices whispering my name,
chasing dreams that look so vane...
the well behind the gate will soon change my fate!

Frost... getting inside of my wounds,
The well... reflecting the shine of the moon!

Dark!

08. Beat It

They told him don't you ever come around here
Dont wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fires in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playing with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you its fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

09. Another Transition

Looking out from my isolation
Deep inside from my alienation
The night will heal my morbid fascination
Another day has gone away

My disintegration, it's not just a sensation
But another accusation
After I've been bruised, lost and so confused
I practiced so much violation

Violation that was, always present because
I used to dream blindfolded
All the people I've been, all the faces you've seen
are not what I really am

Running away from another transition
After discovering new points of view
Getting away with another sensation
After discovering that I'm so true

Looking out from my isolation
Deep inside from my alienation
This day will kill my false illumination
Another day has gone away

I decide to light again my own fire
I gonna try to step away from the liars
I understood that I must have been crazy
To waste my time and be so lazy

Mirrors showing a new side of sorrowful revenge
Through the silence of who understands

Running away from another transition
After discovering new points of view
Getting away with another sensation
After discovering that I'm so true

I know it could be another transition of pain
I know it could be another injection in vein
I'll try not to be bothered by other insanes
I'll go much more forther than your dead brains

Running away from another transition
After discovering new points of view
Getting away with another sensation
After discovering that I'm so true

10. Burning Doll

Instrumental

11. Matrioska

Analyzing and recognizing
How people are, takes a whole
Lot of time
But in a way or in the other
You can undress them from their wall of pride

Do you know there's a girl
Do you know there's a girl
Who can glance in you
And steal you mind
No deception can be a secret
In your smallest Russian doll

So while
You put up
You show
She knows

No time
For you
Don't mind
She knows

She's always trying to reach
Some kind of friendship with some other
but knowing how
Things go she can't

An illusion, a reclusion,
A prisoner in her own
State of mind
Nothing new to discover
Has taken her away from "life"

Dou you know there are ways
And ways, and ways
To uncover layers of your mind
No deception can be a secret
In your smallest Russian doll

So while
You put up
You show
She knows

No time
For you
Don't mind
She knows

She's always trying to reach
Some kind of friendship with some other
but knowing how
Things go she can't

Omniscient relations
Between mind and veiled sensations
The colours faded to grey
Like in Russian movies
Images are moving
Slowly and gasping in pain
