01. The Loser

You don't wanna see the other side of me
Don't wanna get involved in my own situation
You wouldn't believe in what you'd see
'Cause you think I'm just a loser, crazy bastard

Well, I don't wanna run away
I just want you to get away
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely I will stay
Well, I don't need your empathy
Your envy or your jealousy
You'll always, always be a backward step from me

I feel alive
'Cause I'm a loser today
And so I'll be tomorrow
I feel insane
But that's my nature
And I'll never change for 'your' better

Ooh

Like in a clearance sale, you see a heart display
They're all the same and they all look like they rotten
The new collection gives the best that you can get
The heart of mine that beats to the rhythm of this sad song

Well, I will never run away
I just want you to get away
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely I will stay
Well, don't you think you prick the giant
Without being wiped away?
You'll always, always be a backward step from me

I feel alive
'Cause I'm a loser today
And so I'll be tomorrow
I feel insane
But that's my nature
And I'll never change for 'your' better

Behind the veil
There is a lunatic
With his out of tune emotions
Madness saved me
From all of your average lies
Average lies

"Never, oh, never
Nothing will die
The stream flows
The wind blows
The cloud fleets
And the heart beats
Nothing will die"
[From David Lynch's "the Elephant Man"]

I feel alive
'Cause I'm a loser today
And so I'll be tomorrow
I feel insane
But that's my nature
And I'll never change for 'your' better

Behind the veil
There is a lunatic
With his out of tune emotions
Madness saved me
From all of your average lies
Average lies

02. I Am The Monster

In this dark and lonely place
I feel like I've fallen from grace
The outsider for a lifetime hiding
From their vicious eyes

The lights are out but I am in
The ice is melting on my skin
The cold winds blow deep into my dreams
Freezing all that's left of me

I've always felt this misery
I guess something is broken deep inside of me
And I am feeling so alone
I'm afraid I will never find my healing

I've lost my way, I've lost my light
I've lost the stars inside my night
I've lost the things that I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' of

Oh, here they come with forks and fire
My destruction they desire
"Monster! Monster!" they are screaming
Like they've finally found their cure

They take me, torture, and beat me
All they wanna do is bury me
And get rid of what they fear
'Cause I am the monster

I've always felt this misery
I guess something is broken deep inside of me
And I am feeling all alone
I'm afraid I will never find my healing

I've lost my way, I've lost my light
I've lost the stars inside my night
I've lost the things that I've been dreamin'
Dreamin'

Just a single day
One more single day
Inside this cage
And I'll fade away

I've lost my way, I've lost my light
I've lost the stars inside my night

(Je vis parce que je rève)
(Je suis le monstre)

I've lost my way, I've lost my light
I've lost the stars inside my night
I've lost the things that I've been dreamin'
Dreamin'

Just a single day
One more single day
Inside this cage
And I'll fade away

I've lost my way, I've lost my light
I've lost the stars inside my night

Ooh, I am the monster

03. Midnight Skies, Winter Sighs

As I walk this road
Paved with angriness and pain
The Tree of Life is eating
With its roots below my feet
Every time I try to catch the tail
Of a shooting star above
My hands remain so empty
And inside me there's a void

Whoa-whoa, yeah

(Midnight skies)
(Winter sighs)
(Reaching heights)
(Walking miles)

Midnight skies
Winter sighs
On morning dews verse of poetry
Reaching heights
Walking miles
To hear your voice reciting

Every word is a verse of pure harmony
Every single one

As I walk this road
Paved with angriness and pain
The Tree of Life is eating
With its roots below my feet
Every time I try to catch the tail
Of a shooting star above
My hands remain so empty
And inside me there's a void

Inside me there's a void
Of a shooting star above
Is reflecting its blazing gold

Summer nights
Suffused lights
Words barely and softly spoken
Hidden frights
Secret rites
Signs of promise broken

As the sky is reflecting its blazing gold
Mysteries unfold

As I walk this road
Paved with angriness and pain
The Tree of Life is eating
With its roots below my feet
Every time I try to catch the tail
Of a shooting star above
My hands remain so empty
And inside me there's a void

"Ooh, I stand under the Tree of Life
While feeding its roots below my feet
My hands, cold and empty
While I tried to catch shooting stars"

As I walk this road
Paved with angriness and pain
The Tree of Life is eating
With its roots below my feet
Every time I try to catch the tail
Of a shooting star above
My hands remain so empty
Yeah, and inside me there's a void

04. A Song For The People

Staring at the horizon
With all years that weigh
Said old Tom Walton
"Life's not here to wait"
And cheering and toasting
With no so clear mind
"To pay and to die
There's always time"

(He-hey, hoo)
(Ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

Marion does not look
Back to what's done
But let her feel
Before she has gone
While Mr. Lancaster
As it clearly appears
Is just aiming
For another blood beer

Don't fear the horizon
Trust me, a road will lead you there
And all of your love's going to remain untouched
It's you certainty
Whenever, wherever you go

And while little Dolly
Is awaiting the train
Hoping its iron
Will lead her away
Mrs. Jude Marple
Smiles to the Plough
For all of the joys
Life can be bestowed

05. We, Animals

Outraged by world's injustice
As soon at home we beat our kids
Out there our sons are rioting
Our confidence is trembling

We ruin our life to reach a scope
And when we win we crash the hopes
We dance between rise and fall
No, we're not fucking animals

We fight to stay alive
Trying to survive
We're hunting high and low
As our dark secrets come to light

We love the way we are
We hate the way they look
And for a single beat of heart
Yeah, we're just fucking animals

(Just fucking animals)

We struggle hard so find the love
Just to regret the way we were
We love, we hate, no compromise
We cheat on as they close their eyes

We're ego thinking for ourselves
Selfish till the end
We pretend to be someone
Oh yes, you're just an animal

(Oh yeah, you're just an animal)

We cry just for what is right
We left what we would need to fight
Against all immorality
We are ready for rioting

We cry just for what is right
(Whenever we're crying)
We left what we would need to fight
(Someone will keep on sighing)
Against all immorality
(It pains us to see that)
We are ready for rioting
(Our beloved sons stand surviving)

We fight to stay alive
Trying to survive
We're hunting high and low
As our dark secrets come to light

We fight to stay alive
Trying to survive
We're hunting high and low
As our dark secrets come to light

(Whenever we're crying)
We love the way we are
(Someone will keep on sighing)
We hate the way they look
(It pains us to see that)
And for a single beat of heart
(Our beloved sons stand surviving)
Yeah, we're just fucking animals

Oh yeah, you're just an animal
Yeah, we're just fucking animals

06. Through Wolf's Eyes

Since he was born
He'd tried to figure it out
Searching for something
Just to not moon about

One day he saw
A little red riding hood
He fell in love
And followed her through the woods

Day after day he lurked
With fear behind the trees
Sure that a bad-looking wolf
Would've put her ill at ease
"A wolf will never feel"
That is what they say
Teeth and claws to hunt and butcher
Slaughter, kill, and slay

I'd do anything to hear
Her sweet voice calling my name
I won't be the same
In the arms of my Love
I'll find her a little gift
And I will love her all I can
The love of a wolf
Not the love of a man

And walking on
The little red riding star
Just with her beauty
She was healing his scars

The only chance
To let her know how he felt
Eating her grandma
And sneak into her bed

But as she started screaming loud
"Oh, help me please"
("Oh, help me please")
The wolf was struck with what they call
The broken heart disease
And as a ray of light
Would come from up above
The wolf got killed and with a smile
Died in the name of love, yeah

I'd do anything to hear
Her sweet voice calling my name
I won't be the same
In the arms of my love
I'll find her a little gift
And I will love her all I can
The love of a wolf
Not the love of a man

Oh, yeah

I'd do anything to hear
Her sweet voice calling my name
I won't be the same
In the arms of my love

I'd do anything to hear
Her sweet voice calling my name
I won't be the same
In the arms of my love
I'll find her a little gift
And I will love her all I can
The love of a wolf
Not the love of a man

07. Walking Dead

There'll come a moment in life
When you will realize
You'll need a second just for breathing
Breathing

Don't have to fight the instinct
And finally you'll say goodbye
To bars and chains and to your prison
Prison

You're a man in black and white
In a world of colors
You seem alive but deep inside
Your heart is cold
Don't surrender to indifference
To your shallow world
Or with the dead you're gonna walk

You are the walking spirit
You are the dead of night
You are the fallen angel
You're here to kill the light

You are the walking spirit
You are the dead of night
You are the fallen angel
You're here to kill the light

To kill the light

You got to handle the thorns
To get your own red rose
And let your passions be led
By the bleeding

So get the main role
In this movie that we all call life
Don't be a walker-on
Don't be the walking dead

You're a man in black and white
In a world of colors
You seem alive but deep inside
Your heart is cold
Don't surrender to indifference
To your shallow world
Or with the dead you're gonna walk

You are the walking spirit
You are the dead of night
You are the fallen angel
You're here to kill the light

You are the walking spirit
You are the dead of night
You are the fallen angel
You're here to kill the light

Kill the light

(You are the walking spirit)
You are the dead of night
You are the fallen angel
You're here to kill the light

You are the walking spirit
You are the dead of night
You are the fallen angel
You're here to kill the light

You are the walking spirit
You are the dead of night
You are the fallen angel
You're here to kill the light

You are the walking spirit
You are the dead of night
You are the fallen angel
You're here to kill the light

08. Forget-Me-Not

"We are what we daydream to be
The world ends the day of our death
Forget-me-not"

I'm saying lies, false to myself
Trying to persuade and be convincing
While the frost breaks up my shell
For instance

Silence and the deepest dark
Are going to be again my sweetest company
As long as I trust them

Ooh, and now I need to face another night
Memories and thoughts come back alive
And bite

I'll forget the way I feel
I'll forget the way you look
Deep into my eyes
Telling, "Please I need you, you are mine"

I'll forget the pain inside
I'll forget the way you're asking me
For something more
Telling that love does not mean enough

I'm naked, clad just with my pride
Trying to be believable to myself
While you walked out of my life
And I swear

Ooh, now I will be one with all my fault
I need to run away and try to vault
Beyond (oh, yeah)

I'll forget the way I feel
I'll forget the way you look
Deep into my eyes
Telling, "Please I need you, you are mine"

I'll forget the pain inside
I'll forget the way you're asking me
For something more
Telling that love does not mean enough

Was crying on the floor
Please open that door
For all of that night
These words saved my life
(My life)

Was drowning in this crime
You came in just in time
I beg you, forget-me-not
And save my life
And save my life

I'll forget the way I feel
I'll forget the way you look
Deep into my eyes
Telling, "Please I need you"
Whoa

When I'm above, yeah, yeah

I beg you, please let me decay
I am declining with my past
I beg you, here is my serenade
A rigmarole, a spell cast

I beg you, please let me decay
I am declining with my past
I beg you, here is my serenade
A rigmarole, a spell cast

I beg you, please let me decay
I am declining with my past
I beg you, here is my serenade
A rigmarole, a spell cast

I beg you, please let me decay
I am declining with my past
I beg you, here is my serenade
A rigmarole, a spell cast

I beg you, please let me decay
I am declining with my past
I beg you, here is my serenade
A rigmarole, a spell cast

I beg you, please let me decay
I am declining with my past
I beg you, here is my serenade
A rigmarole, a spell cast

09. Poor Little Baroness

She was golden and of milky skin
Peace at heart far from all suffering
She was under Venus' spell
A goddess pure from higher heavens fell

He held the scene, a poignant gleam
When he won her heart just with a beam
He approached so near, her trembling bliss
She was sold in slavery with just a kiss

He paused to draft forbidden rites
Whispering her false advice
And so he pleased his wicked needs
With all her innocence for years

For countless years

From that day she lost all of her grace
Decadence prevailed and drenched her face
Fairytales and stories told are fallen to pieces
Fallen to pieces

When will she see the innocent array?
When will she finally embrace
The harmony of life so long well deserved?
Worth being lived to the end

She walked a labyrinth gazing the stars
Searched an exit way throughout of the dark
Little Baroness chained to the night
Possessed, bewitched, and haunted to her plight

He held the scene, a poignant gleam
When he won her heart just with a beam
He approached so near, her trembling bliss
She was sold in slavery with just a kiss
With just one kiss
(With just one kiss) yeah

From that day she lost all of her grace
Decadence prevailed and drenched her face
Fairytales and stories told are fallen to pieces
Fallen to pieces

When will she see the innocent array?
When will she finally embrace
The harmony of life so long well deserved?
Worth being lived to the end

From that day she lost all of her grace
Decadence prevailed and drenched her face
Fairytales and stories told are fallen to pieces
Fallen to pieces

When will she see the innocent array?
When will she finally embrace
The harmony of life so long well deserved?
Worth being lived to the end
Worth being lived to the end

10. The Time Of Your Life

I saw a star tonight
It was beautiful
Untouchable
I saw a miracle happening
Up in the sky

I feel I don't have the strength
To do what is right, oh, what's right
I feel everything's crumbling down
And I try to survive

I see a crack in the wall
It is happening
Still frightening
I stare as time goes by
In front of my eyes

I feel I don't have the strength
To do what is right, oh, what's right
I feel everything's crumbling down
And I try to survive

It's like reading a letter
Addressed to someone else
Saying that everything will be alright
It's like saying "I love you"
With nothing in return
Thinking that this is the time of your life
The time of your life
The time, the time of your life

Now I feel it is hurting so bad, yeah
All the pain is driving me mad
'Cause I've been waiting
For this time to come
Instead I'm walking alone

It's like reading a letter
Addressed to someone else
Saying that everything will be alright
It's like saying "I love you"
With nothing in return
Thinking that this is the time of your life
The time of your life
(The time of your life)
The time, the time of your life
(The time of your life)

Walking hand in hand
In my dreams, darling
Oh, will it come true?

Walking hand in hand
In my dreams, darling
Oh, will it come true?

Walking hand in hand
In my dreams, darling
Oh, will it come true?

Walking hand in hand
In my dreams, darling
Oh, will it come true?

Walking hand in hand
With you, my darling
Oh, will it come true?

Walking hand in hand
In my dreams, darling
Oh, will it come true?

11. Chronicle Of A Frozen Era

Mankind
Mother of this bad child
Father of these wayward sons
What did you do so wrong?

Angels
Fallen from divine anger
We're vultures with black spread wings
We're the wickedest weaks

Bestowed to the grand and blue open sky
My lullaby
Served and sung between these lies
For the allies

When an oldie read my runes
Realized my life's a boom
A deadly gift form the divine skies
Open wide
And my life must have a scope
Until breathe at least I hope
It's time to plan ahead

A way to find words to speak to show your frozen era
As the fortuneteller reveals your secret aims
Ecstasy, fanned by Her erotic fantasies
You're a dweller in the demons' flames
And your name will be proclaimed
Proclaimed

These lands
Raped by your own bloody hands
Used to be clad with golden cloaks
And honest folks

I'll be the storm for your evil deeds
For all your breed, yeah
I'll be deluge for your mistakes
It is gonna ache, yeah

And my life now has a scope
Until I see at least I hope
The masterplan begins, begins
It is gonna begin

A way to find words to speak to show your frozen era
As the fortuneteller reveals your secret aims
Ecstasy, fanned by Her erotic fantasies
You're a dweller in the demons' flames
And your name will be proclaimed

A way to find words to speak to show your frozen era
As the fortuneteller reveals your secret aims
Ecstasy, fanned by Her erotic fantasies
You're a dweller in the demons' flames
And your name will be proclaimed
Proclaimed
Proclaimed
Proclaimed, yeah-yeah-yeah

14. Grey Inside

I stare at these words
They look empty and frozen
Their meaning has faded away
With echoes of shattered dreams

Don't ask me for longing
Don't search any serenity
Here it rests all dead and still
While I try to restore my loss of faith

I look back to what's up
There is something up in the wind
What has been done, already been done
Nothing is going to change from what has become

Someone looks for delight
Someone lives with grey inside
As it would be the only way to survive
I am the grey inside

Don't stay here any longer
It's not worth all the pain
The sufference you need to feel
All the words and all the tears
And all the glances and aim to reach for something
The craving for than one

Don't stay here any longer
It's not worth all the pain
The sufference you need to feel
All the words and all the tears
And all the glances and aim to reach for something
The craving for than one
