People in the downtown streets
Selling food and unusual things Drinking water eater rice A young boy sitting with his mother Silently endures the day Bothers making it alright But look in his eyes All the hidden cries He doesn't know the reason why One life in Asia Every day short on food Right after birth reaching childhoods end One life in Asia Social disease, endless screams Lost in decadence Hunger and pain is all they gain Filled up with fright and out of might Never seen the light Dependent on help One life in Asia Every day short on food Right after birth reaching childhoods end One life in Asia Are we worthly? Full of blindness? A child around the corner is crying Slowly dying, crying, slowly dying An old man in the house of mud Smoking an cigarett A remaining piece of luck A young girl searching for safety Hope she'll realize She's selling her heart But look in his eyes All the hidden cries He doesn't know the reason why 02. A Distant Light
I don't know why I have to look at the sky
Always strive to reach that high I don't know why everybody tries to fly Do we need to be so high From all directions the warnings are drawning near Close to the bring of ruin It's getting dark and lost souls Don't know where they belong Or where they are Or where they're from But somewhere there's a distant light It's warm and nothing shines so bright The moment is now to realize No hope anymore when the light burns out The spring of fame everyone is searching for Is just a legend of a dreamer The sense of life A mystery like stars above Borderland of mankind's mind From all directions the warnings are drawning near Close to the bring of ruin It's getting dark and lost souls Don't know where they belong Or where they are Or where they're from The signs are here The meaning is clear We do wrong We do right A constant inner fight Look somewhere beyond, look somewhere within 03. Alive
It follows me
Tries to divert me It's going to break into my mind Dark forces calling from above From another side of life Parasites gnaw at me But I will always be Alive Always be alive I see people walking In shadows of themselves Won't find their way home And I hear them talking But they don't understand at all It's not their mind that talks Dark forces calling from above From another side of life Parasites gnaw at me But I will always be Alive Always be alive I'm watching TV "Don't do this, don't do that" I switch off before I get mad I'm reading the news "Don't do this, don't do that" I throw it away And hope good mood returns Dark forces calling from above From another side of life Parasites gnaw at me But I will always be Alive 04. Falling Leaves
Armies of butterflies
Whirling around my head Senses I relied on just don't obey It looks like paradise is near Enjoy the moment and it will be here Once I felt like this I never thought that it could happen That minds and thoughts would change this way I tried so hard to cement our love But how can we keep it together When it lays in ruins at our feet (Can't you see) The leaves are fallin' down Autumn's arrived And it won't go away It won't go away How can we keep it together When it lays in ruins at our feet (Can't you see) The leaves are fallin' down Autumn's arrived The leaves are fallin' down Autumn's arrived The leaves are fallin' down Autumn's arrived 05. Spring
She stops her movements
And whispers to the trees Secrets of her life And how it's meant to be Clouds look like mountains She wants to walk on No wall could be high enough Would always be transcended Dreams are lost in eternity Sense is getting mad Nothing to regret That is the way she falls in love She could never be alone The way she moves The way she smiles She could embrace the world And sprinh grows Out of winter it flows Right into her veins Covers all her pains Dreams are lost in eternity Sense is getting mad And there's nothing to regret That is the way she falls in love She could never be alone The way she moves The way she smiles She could embrace the world 06. She
Wandering in thoughts
I remember her calls Her voice and whisper Silhouettes of my past Increase all my sorrow Who am I now She leaves a memory Embodiment of harmony Beauty of a woman I felt eternal life But now just realize Dreams are broken down I won't forget her words Whatever happens to our life No one will surrender And if I fall Keep me from going under I know we'll meet again I'm on my long way to you Time will pass my way And I will follow On broken wings of dreams Only for you Her voice echoes in the hall I try so hard to recall But the echo fades away It takes only a lifetime I must wait Where am I now I won't forget her words Whatever happens to our life No one will surrender And if I fall Keep me from going under I know we'll meet again I'm on my long way to you 7.

08. Blinded
Envy, greed and hate
Have left scars on me Scars as deep as canyons Now I stand here Face to face with my fate I absorbed the world around me Compassion I've never known I have paid the price And I've lost my mind Nowhere to go It all comes back into my mind The power and respect So close at hand I feel they're watching me Both of them belonged to me I was blinded Like roses need the rain Possessed me. Led enchanted me I was blinded So tasteful, so sweet I gave myself up to a force Tormented by remorse On the run from shadows of the past I regret all of what I said I think I'm changing The way I feel the way I think No time to waste It's time to part with the evil If I had the chance to turn back I would put right all I can Learn to follow principles of life Love is part os this advice Oh, I try If I had the chance to turn back I would put right all I can Learn to follow principles of life Love is part os this advice It's time to regret, it's time to respect It's time to feel sympathy With those who are victimized Yes, I was blinded |
