01. The Caravan Of Weird Figures

[Instrumental]

02. Another Awful Hobs Tale

Into this dark horizon we need a miracle!
to keep on hoping everyday is something magical

Our thirst for (the) promise to carry on
Is slowly falling down
And now we will claim it back!

Last time we saw the Green Man,
He gave us good advice
"Good luck to all of you
If a four leaf-clover you will find"

Our thirst for fortune, will lead us on
But it's quite a while we're hoping to find it

Where is the four leaf-clover?
We'll carry on, singing and singing
We'll walk, throughout the region
We'll walk, throughout the region again!

Bless us, bless us here we go
Praying under rain and snow
The spirit and the blessed soul
Will help us getting what we want

Where is the four leaf-clover?
We'll carry on, singing and singing
We'll walk, throughout the region
We'll walk, throughout the region again!

We followed on the ray of light,
Until we arrived!
True love's the only answer...

We have been fooled, another time
The story will go on,
But at the end we will find it

Where is the four leaf-clover?
We'll carry on, singing and singing
We'll walk, throughout the region
We'll walk, throughout the region again!

03. From Blood To Stone

As the lights slowly fade in an emerald whirl
I dig through my broken ideals
As the sun hides his smile from the plain down below
I stand enchanted

I need to find something to fill my whole without falling, falling apart
Something that can give me a reason to hope, falling, falling apart

I can tell from the deep of my heart,
Every day I fight to conquer a place in the world
Look around, leave it all with a smile,
Taste the blood of Earth and sign your mark on the stone

From the roots in the soil to the branch in the sky
From head to toe I must find
A perfect harmony to help my travel this night
Through my own Wyrd

There is nothing the can frighten me more than myself,
Outliving this world
I look around and I suddenly see and realize
I finally live (in the best way it can possibly be)

I can tell from the deep of my heart,
Every day I fight to conquer a place in the world
Look around, leave it all with a smile,
Taste the blood of Earth and sign your mark on the stone

Turning from blood to stone, be one with the roots of Life
From flesh and from tears to soil, make a promise and choose to live

I have found something to fill my whole without falling, falling apart
Something that has given reasons to hope, I'm not falling, falling no more

I can tell from the deep of my heart,
Every day I fight to conquer a place in the world
Look around, leave it all with a smile,
Taste the blood of Earth and sign your mark on the stone

In the end I don't care if I'm part of a plan
As long as I'm a part of it

04. Ask A Silly Question

You've been playing snakes and ladders all your life
You never thought that you were wasting all your time
Now I'm gonna tell you: let's play "Pass the Pigs"
So come on throw your pigs and win by reaching number six

A long time ago the gifts were given by the gods
That day you didn't show your face at all
Now I'm gonn ask you: where do you belong?
The human being's supposed to be the best of all

The missionary position's leading back to number one
You thought you had some points, but now you have none

You're just one of the bloody freaking mass
The very best of the breed in your literature class..?
My patience has been worn out by your self esteem
How can you say Lord Byron used to play in your dream team?

Ask a silly question - Get a silly answer
You comedy of contradictions is your final cancer
If this is what you are, then I say: No!
If this is all you say then I say: No! No! No!

The missionary position's leading back to number one
You thought you had some points, but now you have none

All the natural and good willing forces of the earth
Are worth being respected since your time of birth
But I know you'll betray them - for your dumb regime
Forget your ugly face 'cause you don't count more than anything

Cold is the heart of the empty
In the end you will cry for mercy

Ask a silly question - Get a silly answer
You comedy of contradictions is your final cancer
If this is what you are, then I say: No!
If this is all you say then I say: No! No! No!

The missionary position's leading back to number one
You thought you had some points, but now you have none

You've been playing snakes and ladders all your life
You never thought that you were wasting all your time
Now I'm gonna tell you: let's play "Pass the Pigs"
So come on throw your pigs and win by reaching number six

05. She Lives At Dawn

...Lonely whisper...
... reezing my skin...
Will I ever live,
Will I ever see the dawn?

...My mouth tastes blood...
...Decaying ...my bones...
Will I ever live,
Will I ever see the dawn?

Will I ever kiss...
Kiss your lips again?

06. The Winter Wake

As the lights are growing dim
Freezing cold, slowly is fading in
Another Winter night will hold this wicked soul

I will wait for the new Sun to rise
Blind in darkness, witness my demise
Another Winter night is so long...

The lands are dressed in the purest white
Pure as I was and I am no more

The ones of you who are free of guilt
Wound me with your stones and then step in
Buried in the whitest snow I will suddenly awake
The winter wake

As the steps are leaving trails
Of the side of me I hate
This is the Night when I will face all my disgrace

Cover me, cover all that I see
A little light flake for your heart and the sea
A single flake for all the good ones...

The lands are dressed in the purest white
Pure as I was and I am no more

The ones of you who are free of guilt
Wound me with your stones and then step in
Buried in the whitest snow I will suddenly awake
The winter wake

I spent my time gazing at the stars
As silently it snows inside my heart
Someone said that life brings and then takes
The winter wake

07. Heaven Is A Place On Earth

Oh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Oh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
Well make heaven a place on earth
Oh heaven is a place on earth

When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And were spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Oh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Oh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
Well make heaven a place on earth
Oh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world were just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But Im not afraid anymore

Oh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Oh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
Well make heaven a place on earth
Oh heaven is a place on earth

08. My Own Spider's Web

Please come to me, to where my emotions still sleep
The garden of hidden memories
To where your spirit can breathe and hope to be free

In my shelter my thoughts have been trapped for a while
'Cause it was so easy, easy for them to fall and be caught
In this dark spider's web... my own spider's web

Come feel my heart pounding with each step you take
As you're coming closer to me
The knot of my feelings is slowly releasing itself

I'm still frightened how can I leave my own intimate haven
And still think, still breathe
Leaving my memories behind, I hope to be free

Tonight I'm gonna follow her, leaving my shelter behind
I'm gonna follow till the end of the world
Tonight I'm gonna gift myself with everything I have got
I'm gonna give to her all that I am

Dancing round the fire we'll be just one whirlwind of light
And our secret together we'll find
Dancing round the fire, our shadows are one with this night
And our souls are forever entwined

09. Not My Final Song

I am looking around, laid down in my coffin
See faces with tears in their eyes
But hey wasn't (that) her?
And I also see the guy who used to hate me so much?

And I don't need mourning laments
To be sincere you can kiss my ass
If you had to tell me something,
I can do nothing, now I'm dead and gone

I'm singing proud my final song
Dedicated to the ones still living
I'm singing loud my final song
For the ones who have ears to hear

Don't you think it's sardonic?
You're considered a great one,
but no one has shaken your hand
I don't wanna end up like Poe or Van Gogh
Not knowing what they'd have become

So listen, I don't want your tears when I'm gone
Please smile at me 'till I'm still fond
Call me a cynic, have passed all the limits,
But now I'm here...

...Singing proud my final song
Dedicated to the ones still living
I'm singing loud my final song
For the ones who have ears to hear

This is not my final song
More words and notes are in my pocket
This is not my final song
There are more stories to tell

Life often offers unreal circumstances
A theatre of souls, a circus of dances
Everything does happen for a real reason
I surely don't know, I'm victim of treason

This funeral march starts to be boring
THis coffin is narrow, the suit is too sober
Pass me my hat and my broken guitar
And sing me this final song bizarre

10. The Blackest Of My Hearts

Maybe I should cry, maybe I should deny
My tired face looking so grim
A jarful of thoughts is waiting under the sheets,
Another sleepless night

I don't feel ashamed, I feel no guilt
I need to stay alive
Since there is no time, since the sands still flow
I will be there

The blackest of my hearts, the sweetest of my words
Am I strong enough?
I'll never forget, everything lives
Until my flesh will be no more

A sense of deep frustration tinges with black my heart
I cannot cry I want to die
A grandeur manifestation of a wrong self-addiction
There's no end to ease this pain

Lost in those eyes, stolen by that scent
Digging down my skin
Shivers that cut like sharpened knives
My wounds, will they ever heal?

This story is a black spiral without an end,
Carry me follow me deep into this hell
Take my hand know and everyday of a life that won't exsist
Are we gonna meet again someday? so many years from now
When I'm asking you is more than everything, no more compromises

11. The Wanderer

A slight call afar is tempting me
Like a whisper sweet or an awful scream
I cannot ignore what I've always been
I am leaving again - one last time?

Laid on the pale scythe of the Moon
I play with stars around me
The elvendom is now calling out my name

My fairy and I are wandering through times
And stories forgotten, some old fairytales
Of wizards of Oz, of lost keys and gardens
Hiding secret doors that lead to a dream
For those who believe there's always a door to get in

A slight call afar is tempting me
Like a whisper sweet or an awful scream
I cannot ignore what I've always been
I am leaving again - one last time?
In my little kingdom I can be what I really
Wanted to be - The wanderer

I'm hearing scratches at my door
Somebody wants me again
Some little creatures will be my fellows

My demon and I are playing some
wicked games I should not play, not fair to be played
Don't tell anyone the place where I'm going
'Cause they won't believe - This time I don't know
If I'll ever return, say goodbye for me to my home

A slight call afar is tempting me
Like a whisper sweet or an awful scream
I cannot ignore what I've always been
I am leaving again - one last time?
In my little kingdom I can be what I really
Wanted to be - The wanderer

12. Miss Conception

Have you ever thought that all of the things you believe
To be right may be just rules they stuck in you mind
They took you by the hand and led you just like you were blind

You learnt we're living in a world that is built on a lie
We are the good ones and we don't care when the others die
God is the answer and the strongest will always survive

Far from our daily chaos, she lives in peace and all of these things don't affect
Her passion for life and for what's true.. what's truly right in the heart

Dig in you passions and follow you heart
Miss Conception awaits your arrival tonight
Far in your dreams she'll appear and invite you
When you feel like a man even just for a while

Don't be shy or stupid, wake up and follow her trail
You have been walking the wrong one like a drunken snail
This is the time to end this parody of life and set sail

The trees are covered up with vines look they're running insane
The crows high in the sky and the air filled with smell of rain
This place seems horrible but please don't proceed with disdain

Far from our daily chaos, she lives in peace and all of these things don't affect
Her passion for life and for what's true.. what's truly right in the heart

Dig in you passions and follow you heart
Miss Conception awaits your arrival tonight
Far in your dreams she'll appear and invite you
When you feel like a man even just for a while

Oh here she comes, dressed with air and sunshine
Stroking her white legs, sexed and shivering
And there they are, the riot of pure ones
Feasting on her promiscuous banquet

Oh here she comes
I can see her face now
And our tongues
Our hands dancing in the moonlight
How far will she go?
I can hear her soft voice whispering
Everlasting words of lust

Dig in you passions and follow you heart
Miss Conception awaits your arrival tonight
Far in your dreams she'll appear and invite you
When you feel like a man even just for a while

13. My Little Moon

As the embroidery of blazing,
Little stars fades with the dawn,
The silent damsel plunges,
Behind the curtain of the mountains.

Where are you now my little moon,
Hidden from everyone?
I will find you,
Huddled up somewhere, somehow...

As the day tries to light a pale,
And by now, cold aged time,
A tired sun still searches,
For a lost friend known seasons ago.

Year after year,
As silent centuries have gone, have gone.
Hush... I turn around,
And you're still there... with me
