Tracks



01. Will You Believe Me?

Oh... We have lost our way... Somewhere...

All his life he's been an honest man
And he has...
Never thought it would come to this
As you do...
If we go back in time will you change?
And understand...?
Will you believe me...?
I'm dead in Copenhagen...

02. Dead In Copenhagen

Drawing the future in your golden planes?
Please remember we are living in the same plains?

Standing still
Watching you? waiting for? a new deal
We just ask you to share the bill
For us the damages are already? real?

You had the power
To turn the tide
What have you done with your cash and your damn pride?
What a cold shower!
The hope of us all
Is fading away like a last station call

What have you done?

Are you really conscious that you are unconscious?
Will our hopes? fall again?
Condemning the climate and also the precious?
Link? The precious Chain

You fools!
You're no leaders - you are traders!
I can't "keep cool"
Cos' we can't wait another year?
For you a billion dollars? is just loose change? as are our lives!...

You had the power
To turn the tide
What have you done with your cash and your damn pride?
What a cold shower!
The hope of us all
Is fading away like a last station call

Do you know Me?
(I'm) dead in Copenhagen
Do you see Me?
(I'm) dead in Copenhagen

Wind & words
Talking like windmills
Trading for? the right to kill
Dying - drowning

Oh please, catch my hand?

You had the power
To turn the tide
What have you done with your cash and your damn pride?
What a cold shower!
The hope of us all
Is fading away like a last station call

Do you know Me? I'm living far away
Dead in Copenhagen
Do you see me? 'Cos I'm on your way
Dead in Copenhagen

With you!

03. The Frozen Will

Too many blows into her face?
She has lost the will to run the race?
Don't stay alone with your thoughts
Locked into her room without a light
She's diving into an eternal night

Come? look at me?
Do you think? you could free me and??

Free - the will inside of me
The fire sleeping deeply -
I am frozen

We will try to understand your fears
We will try to understand your tears
Still you've got some cards to play
We'll take the time to refloat your ship?
To bring back a smile to your lips
We'll take the time to refloat your ship?
To bring back the will to continue the trip!

Come? look at me?
Do you think? you could free me and??

Free - the will inside of me
The fire sleeping deeply -
I am frozen

Free?. Free The Fire? Free The Fire!

Free - the will inside of me
The fire sleeping deeply -
I am frozen

Freed - the will inside of me
is now burning intensely
I rise again is now burning intensely
I rise again

04. These Trees

Green?
Used to be your horizon
As far as the eye can see
But now the walls of the prison
Are closing in

Down?
Another one is falling down?I can't take
We must try to save the earth's gown
And I will fight for?

?Their roots are ours

Down to the forest, it's a fantasy
I felt down - I'm now feeling high
Let be breathe? in their arms
Let me take a last photograph.

And I will fight for these trees
Yes I will fight for these trees
Till death!!!!!!!

Into our everyday life
We are playing with?
A great fork and great knife
The Hunger of the?

?Town! It's the hunger of the town
As big, as endless as ours
We all want everything
?every thing?

Stop!... stop the destroying process?
Before we reach checkmate
Stop it! Before it is too late!
Oh Please, please?

From Rio to Congo
The Same tragedy
From Tokyo
to New York city

Open your eyes now

Down to the forest, it's a fantasy
I felt down - I'm now feeling high
Let be breathe? in their arms
Let me take a last photograph.

And I will fight for these trees
Yes I will fight for these trees
Till death!!!!!!!

Down to the forest, it's a fantasy
I felt down - I'm now feeling high
Let be breathe? in their arms
Let me take a last photograph.

Fight for this green paradise
It's the light shining in your eyes
Burning it, it's burning your life
Yours and those to come?

And I will fight for these trees
Yes I will fight for these trees
Till death!!!!!!!

05. The Herd

Wake up! Now!!
Wake up! Now!!
Wake up! Now!!

Our active laziness
A murder in silence
The Herd with mindlessness
Is trampling our chance

Forever in desire... Lost!
"To have and play" ...to pay...
You're on the razor fire
(You're) abusing science
(Just) living for today
And no regrets
You wash it all away
You don't want to be bothered
But Life is not "The Love Boat"...

They shine so bright
The things you flee
And at first sight
You are far... from being free

Since you were born
You don't try for the best
Searching for more
And no questions in your quest
You've never tried to think
'Bout things that really matter

But Life is not "The Love Boat"...
Wake up! Now!!

That's pure insanity
Promoted and spurred
You're passively guilty
You're within the Herd!

Now try to... Think differently
Now try to... Live differently

Always other people and never you?
Take a new look at yourself too
Ask yourself: "Am I in the herd?"
Like I ask to myself: "Am I in the herd?"
Ask Yourself... Like I do...

06. Fisherman's Day

Lost in the key on the fisherman's day
Will we recover it, I couldn't say?
Black is the sea in this heavenly bay
All he can do now is kneel down and pray

Giants were the trawlers who raped the seabed
Tons of cadavers have painted it red
Most of them, not graded, killed for nothing
Synthetic jellyfish are proliferating
While the uprooted coral is fading

Faraway fisherman on your frail skiff
The cities have vomited over the cliff
And you have been hit by a stray bullet
With all the fish that once filled your net

Lost is the key on the fisherman's day
Deep in the waters where he used to play
All he can do now is kneel down and pray
Under the gentle stroke of the spray

Lost in the key on the fisherman's day
Will we recover it, I couldn't say?
Black is the sea in this heavenly bay
All he can do now is kneel down and pray

Fisherman's day
The judgment day
The first of all?. to fall
Who will follow?
Fisherman's day
The judgment day
Who will follow?

07. Against The Sand

Our hands?. Have become one
For so many years now
And so have got old together

It used - to be so easy
We used - to be so strong
The beat of the song
Is now getting fast? and heavy

Holding the rope
Hope against hope
We will face the slope

Do not lose your grip
Hold on, Let it rip!

Oh my love?

Take a rest upon my shoulder
I know that?
"When We Were Younger
We were much stronger"

Stand!
But we will
Stand - till the end - with the energy of despair
Stand - while reason is here
Stand until the final breath takes away the last word
We are not dead yet!

Come on! My friend!
Come on!
Let's do it! Let's do it!
Take that bend

And Till the end
We'll stand as one
So our memories last forever

Fight against waste
And laziness
Fight against the law?
?Of the sand? falling
Like a guillotine
Hurry up!

Raging like we were teenagers
We're getting older
We're getting stronger

Stand!
But we will
Stand - till the end - with the energy of despair
Stand - while reason is here
Stand until the final breath takes away the last word
We are not dead yet!

Take a rest upon my shoulder
We'll face together
The sandstorm anger

And we will
Stand until the storm carries away the
Dust of our bones - into a spiral to the
Skies where all the words that we have said are echoing, but?
We are not dead yet!

08. Any Hypotheses

(Part 1 - Dizzy)

Are we? living?
The answer's? lost

Is there a trail
On which we can sail? on??

Space is bending
Time is a ring
On which we can dance

The sun is shining
A star is watching
Over you?.

(Part 2 - Hypothesis)

Was the clay fertile?
Children of The Nile?
Tell?Me?.Now!!
A God? A magician?
Tell?Me?.Now!!
The Chance on a mission

Subject of an experiment
There's a scientist? looking at you!

Are we the atoms of a bigger brain?
Are there other worlds floating in our veins?
Are we in a chain?
What?is there?
Around our universe
Take me to a new? truth!
On these ways?

I'm carried away

Oh the haze! of what we cannot conceive
A veil over the world
A veil? A wall! Any Hypothesis
Is allowed on this wall

Maybe I'm? An avatar
Maybe I could seed a thought?
Is? my mind? a liar?
Are we in a matrix? Caught!

I can change physical laws
Can bring life to what I draw
I can fly to "Formax A" shores
Through black holes...
Or like they do it in... Star Wars
Like they do it in... Star Wars

My mind is drifting away

Oh the haze! of what we cannot conceive
A veil over the world
A veil? A wall! Any Hypothesis
Is allowed on this wall

?Void?

From The Void?
Oh? Where are we?

In the thoughts? of a dreamer
And in the universe?
In the center?
In a corner?

Where is the truth?
Tell me the truth!

Several chances like a flower?
That withers and grows again
One more try after the winter?
Deleted when the computer?.will? crash??

Oh the haze! of what we cannot conceive
A veil over the world
A veil? A wall! Any Hypothesis
Is allowed on this wall

It's raging - Deep in my heart
It's raging - Deep in my art
It's raging - Without avail!

Oh the haze! of what we cannot conceive
A veil over the world
A veil? A wall! Any Hypothesis
Is allowed on this wall

Tell me the truth!
Is there a truth?
Is there a truth?
Sure there is, let me tell you?
Is there someone to answer me?
Is there a life?
Do you know the sense of life?
Is there is a sense to life?
A new world's born at each instant.
There are many parallel worlds
Is it a never-ending story?
Or is there an end?
Is there a life? after life?

09. Just Before The Silence

The day has finally come
Give me air, I need some...
This letter in my hand
I'm staring at my hand
With tears in my eyes

Take... my... life...
Take my life!

I have no regrets for the things that I've done
But their minds are on the run
Now my body's caught in this strange vibration
I need a salvation
My friends, I need you!

Time knows the score - and plays with my nerves
I can't speak no more - losing all my verve
Oh damn!
My breath is short - I really need your support
Sing with me!
My breath is short - I really need your support
Sing with me! Sing with me!

My mind is upside down
I am feeling very down
(I) fear the banknote and the gun
And the burn of the sun

"I know I'm gonna die
I'll watch you from the sky
Now stand up and be strong!
Write and complete my song"

I have no regrets for the things that I've done (Salvation)
But their minds are on the run (Damnation)
Now my body's caught in this strange vibration (Madness calls)

I need a salvation
My friends, I need you!

Time knows the score - and plays with my nerves
I can't speak no more - losing all my verve
Oh damn!
My breath is short - I really need your support
Sing with me!
My breath is short - I really need your support
Sing with me! Sing with me!

Ahhhhhhhhhh - Wasting our time
Ahhhhhhhhhh - Wasting our time

On this morning
Another one
Has been found dead on the high street
A leaf has been left upon his mouth like a warning... a threat
If you're on my way... on the highway...
You're gonna die!!!!!

Wash away the sweat from my temples
Oh! Stay with me! - Stay with me!
Take a seat and wait with me a little
Oh! Stay with me! - Stay with me!

Everybody lives it differently, that's my way
Sing with me! - Sing with me!
Please help me to face my very last days
Oh please: Sing with me! - Sing with me! Sing!!!

Time knows the score - and plays with my nerves
I can't speak no more - losing all my verve
Oh damn!
My breath is short - I really need your support
Sing with me! Sing with me!

10. Fifty Years Later

I wander through ruins?
The land where we were born?
Has been trashed and torn!

The Magic of the rainforest,
The smiles of its residents,
Victims of an incest

Religions and Men,
Euros, Dollars, Yen?.
Have Written "The End"
With their bloody pen?

We thought we were kings
With endless futures
Everything's falling
Fifty years later?

The mines are empty
And so is the sea
Bees and flowers have passed?.

Everywhere people are walking aimlessly?
Trying to live without trees
How long will it last?

Lands have been drained
On their skins?.nothing will?.ever grow again!

Religions and Men,
Euros, Dollars, Yen?.
Have Written "The End"
With their bloody pen?

We thought we were kings
With endless futures
Everything's falling
Fifty years later?

Eternally
We'll regret our history
The last snow and the last tree
Will live in our memories
'Til we die?

God if you're here?
Oh please please: "Take me - take me
Far from this cemetery"
In deep space will ring loudly
Eternal cries

We've been jesters?
We've wasted it?
We're sorry mother, if?
We've forced you to call it quits?

Religions and Men,
Euros, Dollars, Yen?.
Have Written "The End"
With their bloody pen?

We thought we were kings
With endless futures
Everything's falling
Fifty years later?

Eternally
We'll regret our history
The last snow and the last tree
Will live in our memories
'Til we die?

God if you're here?
Oh please please: "Take me - take me
Far from this cemetery"
In deep space will ring loudly
Eternal cries

I'm just asking for a little breeze
Just to dry an old man tears?
But the wind has gone with all the trees
I'm left with all my fears?

Alone? in Fifty years?
