Haken все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

I stand map in hand, direction misaligned
I play my role with a cast of a die
It spins through the air, bound by gravity
So why can't I feel momentum pulling me?

Their design shifting frame by frame,
Blur the lines, the cycle starts again.

Немного британского прога вам в ленту.
Удивительно, насколько стремительно этот коллектив берёт вершину за вершиной. Каждый альбом лучше предыдущего, и этот - не исключение: этим апрельским релизом Haken наконец окончательно закрепили за собой репутацию группы первого эшелона современного прогрессива. Эклектика, ностальгические кивки в сторону восьмидесятых и потрясающее владение инструментами делают из этой новинки чуть ли не главный на данный момент релиз 2016го года в этом жанре.

FISHERMAN:
Just another day sitting by the river,
As February fades, I was fishing for my dinner
When something caught my eye in my peripheral vision.
Have I lost my mind if I believe in what I'm seeing?

Eyes from around the world,
Stare through the glass

Hearts will burn come what may
With lessons learned along the way
To free myself I make a choice
Just to be heard I lose my voice

Finding strength in solitude
I fight to fly with much to prove
Is this the way it's meant to be?

Thirsty seeds won't grow without celestial flow
from the blood of the earth,
or tears of the gods bring forth life.

Burning tree, ash in the breeze, land on fire.
Human desire for rising flames,
blackened remains, all is still.

Bless us with the gift of a morning
That lightens the day
Infecting us with hope
Like a flower that rose from the grave

There will be a shift in perspective
But nothing can change
Until the floodgates and the doors of perception

FISHER-MER-MAN:
Oh, I still hear the angels' song
Whispered by a child that once belonged
With tears of joy so white,
The colour of a restless night,
More than a faint memory can provide.
If years go by, fear and pain will sustain in your eyes.

Tantalized by the cockroach and it's promise
I fantasised about soaring with golden wings
"Flying with gold wings"

Hypnotized by the cockroach and it's promise
I was compromised by a treasure
That was fit for fools
"Lured by a fool's gold"

I close my eyes and slip away
And long for change within the air
Hope fills my soul, I realise

I have the sky under my feet
Sun up above, I am complete
Joy fills my heart in Paradise

FISHERMAN:
Calling "SOS" in deep despair...
Please, teach me, how the hell do I breathe down there?
Waves crash on me, I can’t hold my breath,
There’s no coming up for a gasp of air.

And as the tears fall on us now,
The chances are that I will drown.

Genre: Progressive

Greed ignites your sin
Black seed burns in a bed of lies
Destroy and annihilate our world
Tearing grace from purity to survive

Helpless life doused in a flash

One step back, take two leaps forward.
And with bated breath we wait
For generation X to fade
Embracing the emmancipation.

How will history remember?
A masterpiece chiselled to dirt?
Collapsing pillars of the earth

Save me now
Set me free

"If you could only show me how"

Show me how
To live my dream

Take a step put one foot in the grave
Catch a breath submerged in holy water
Watch a moving scene of former days
Shed a tear as memory starts to falter

Familiar faces try to hide the pain
Medicate to alleviate the pressure
Make amends with the ones I used to hate

Over the edge
Falling in and out of time
History is always repeating

Day in day out
I wait to confront my fate
Mystery is never revealing

Dying of the light
A million faces search the sky
The universe was huge enough for us to hide

Drifting with the tide
A rite of passage to the stars
I always knew the days were through for us to shine

All my kingdom's gone,
It's burned to the ground,
Reason leaves me.

As future sits upon
A solitary throne,
A treasure is sinking.

Blood red sun, my companion
Feel my love through the static
Fore we rust and dismantle
Salvage us from the ash

Desolate their communion
Gaia mourns her children

Shades of grey shape the room in which she lies.
Raindrops on the windowpayne keep her awake.

Shades of her mind shape the world, the world she sees.
Lost in fading daylight, she entered her dreams.

"Tears of fire cascade from the sea,
The sound falling through the earth

Mind open wide as I awake,
I sense a change within the air.
Hope fills my soul, I realise...

Rising to see what lies ahead,
Frost tainted pain calling my name.
Come and feel what I can see!

Still I feel the pain from that day
When you stepped in to take my dreams away
The stage was set for what would be my night
But you called time and threw my fight

Still I'm yearning to claim back what's mine
Still I'm clinging to dreams that won't die
Still I'm dreaming of one more chance

[STREAMS]

Oooh, now that I am free,
swimming with the many fishes of the stream.
Yeah, and I am welcome here,
we all just connected swimmingly.
Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins.

FISHERMAN:
Without a reason left to live lonely air I breath,
And as she takes her final breath
Yesterday becomes a memory
As I am learning to let go of the dead.

NARRATOR:
"Goodbye", she cries as she slowly disappears

Message on a screen before me
Caught a glimpse of the ending to our story,
"I'm sorry I haven't called you recently".

It's not surprising, I'll just learn the lesson,
Take some time to process the evidence
And analyse your apathy.

Underneath your mask a place for us to hide
From this penetrating pain of mortal life.
The beauty of it all makes no sense to me
With restraints on my curiosity.

When you are dreaming,
I am wide awake.
Believe when you see me,

NARRATOR:
Until the ice has melted
Into tears of pain or fear,
Pure anticipation...
In hope we are patient for a cry –

A child is born tonight
And love has come to life.
