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 |
