Razor sharp I cut
The bull from my life
Too blunt your knife
To slay this dreamer

We might be dogs astray
No running line will hold us
So rather kick and kill me

I feel like I am hurt
Can't you see
I try to express
But I act like you're a stranger to me
I want to share, but don't know how
My eyes can't speak
And my mouth won't write it down

doubt is creeping
into the seams
words keep breaking
tearing at the weave

we've seen the signs
all through the years
torn between

I sit scared
Your eyes blend into me and then I take in the room
Dark and cold, you are atmosphere
I wonder who you are, where are you from?

And I watch
All that you are
I want to hide

Сейчас, как видишь, мне лучше
Я здесь, у всех на виду
И мне будет немного тяжелее
Пройти весь путь

Тебе было так легко
Так просто, где я была
Ты сделал всё, чтобы

The torture won't part you
Motherly breast won't warm you
You fail and foam from your mouth
why is it so loud, this sound?

All the sense your are capable of
does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile

In the garden, in the park, on a bench, I sit.
A newspaper floats on the breeze of this late summer.
It is coming my way,
I patiently wait.

I see the sign, it's on the road
and I think it's crazy

People drifting from a distance
People arrive and depart

Fall into an area

People appear through the twilight
See them come in through the cold

Why did I ever think
life is about to go on
in a minute

And did I ever see
life is about to go on
in a minute
Life never goes on

Blaming global infection
for the illness in him
Little knowledge of the non-affection
between him and his kin
Old, grey, bitter, anxious and collapsed

Like a wallflower once blooming
Withered to apparent death

Блуждаем,
Шагаем,
Плывем по течению,
Смотрим,
Ищем,
Находим в жизни свою дорогу.

Что бы мы ни нашли,

Strange vibe
circles round
Tries to comfort
buzzing sound
Form an arrow
point at us
We the target
are the one

Before the morning wakes
lights caught up in flames
and we realize
The silence come our way
dont easily fade away
in between the heights

Light travels through the winter skies

Darling, baby
Don't say maybe
Disobey me, I'll be
Like a bad penny
I twist the truth
I love your youth
You're losing grip
Take a trip, you,

Generations, long before this time
Proud and hunting
To keep our tribe alive
Tundra's blazing we're gazing at the wild
Who will win this battle
And fiercely protect our child
All we need is fire heat
Protecting us from life

underneath the mask you've buried yourself into
it's coal-black
I am tired of the gulping that you do
every day a new face
what if I unscrew
your own identity
wouldn't you guess there's nothing left of you?

You think you were earning
Burning the church of your god
You were yearning
Learning the birth of your dirt
Did you think you earned it
Burning your god
That you thought messed up your life?

Water travels by itself
Inspires us to fear the sea
When it affects our state of mind
We drown in our make-believe

Those little drops that cover two thirds
Eventually there will be nothing left
But water, this water

[Infatuated by the extensiveness of the universe, it's easy to forget one of the most complex enigmas of this world: The human mind, a universe of it's own.]

Open the gates of the past
With the key to our hearts
Dream of the years gone by
Centuries through mankind's eyes

In the wasteland that grows inside

On the day that you woke me up from our dream to your nightmare
I didn’t know it was possible to feel so alone being with you
I tried to move, but you glued me to your side, with all that you gave me
Did you catch the moon together

When I saw the look upon your face
I knew we had lost precious hours through our days

As the sand
spreads wide open
and the glow of the sun
pearls the skin
All hope is craving fluids
and the yearning to where we've been

Golden grounds

Can't do that, please forget
The things I need, there's more than only to breath
Twisted and dreams, crying and defeat
Love and fear, Buried beneath those facts
Which controle, it's all there
Sent me grief, sent me joy
To become myself, trying to gather the truth
Eternal faith, blame myself

Fading falling
Slow winds breaking soundscapes
And waves of velvet sweeping
Into me

You moved all that was in my world
And showed me all the new colours
In my universe where storms run

I gave my life to you and I have worked so hard at it too
Would I do anything other than to raise you to be
The finest men?

After all this years of ploughing through the weeds
I have turned wise and grey
With every fibre in me
I have lived to see you grow to be

Whatever you do
Whatever you say

Every time I’m here
and every time you’re near
Those echoes keeps growing

I shut my eyes

We ride along the great riverside
Ever so wide
The giver of clarity
She will be wise enough
To make us understand
The moment we reach heavenly land

Heavenly, heavenly

Sail on silver wings
through this storm
what fortune love may bring
back to my arms again
the love of a former golden age.

I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take.
For, now that wheels are turning,

"Through marriage we're bonded, by death we're separated.
But sometimes our dreams can ceep us together. Life is transitory but love
can be eternal."

The cruelty of this world persists
The cold wind speaks for our lost
Whispering words, weaving worlds
Her time has come, alas

My friend
She tipped over
Out of childhood into sadness
She's always shining
But nevertheless
Her beautiful heart is drowned in grief

Sugar horse, lives inside

His hands hide inside a sleeve
and little feet play with the ground beneath him
while up in the sky is where he wants to be

Time will fly
and the wind plays with him
the night will give him its charm

"Stories about unicorns and dragons are just fairytales, so we're told.
But don't we all have our personal dragons? Fantasy is a world not far from
reality."

In everyone hides a king for a day
Nature's actors, in tragedies we play
But deep bows the head that bears the crown
For the weight of might can always pull us down

i close your eyes with my mouth
now you don't see anything
but you feel my breath all over
i can feel you too

although i don't really know you
i don't really care

No brainwaves or activity
while the craft is in the air
It's getting dark, it's getting light
we are sitting in a chair

We have fastened every belt
we cannot float out of our seats
It's so enormously frightening

A scar inside
For such a long time
I'll do it all over again
Can't face the wounds
Have to go on
Stop remembering

Time by time shades reach the surface

No sense at all
do what you want
you will not pay
for I will hunt you
Untill you will be

Locked away

I know from a lesser tribe
I suppose the range of my intelligence
is way too wide

And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say

My emotional outlet

(I)

It’s time to leave - this eerie sound
I cared but failed - the ones I love
I guess its just - what comes around

We try to bend - but then it breaks
What kind of mind - makes these odd shakes

All you need all you need
All you need
Is all is now

All you need all you need
All you need
Is not what you're getting

I see your eyes
Blue and wide open
Take your time
my divine creature
My arms will provide
undivided attention

Sleep, child sleep

I send your name
up into the sky
And the wind blows it back into my face

You see, even nature
reacts on me
And all my electricity
will make it across your sea

I am at the waterside
My cold feet are numb
And I follow my dream
I want to cross
I want to get inside

The clouds make a circle
On the soil that I'm on

Their ways are open
they spread as their wings
they want to be certain
of a warm surrounding

When they fly
through the night as beautiful
nighttime birds

Once there were beautiful trees
Now there are concrete seas
An eerie calm has befallen the land
Cacophony of wonderful sounds
Is replaced by a symphony of silence
Fading letters of comforting words
She never had time to say goodbye

How did we get here?
Where is the silence?
We need to breath in
How can you sleep when war is all over?

We are walking on fire
We were sinking desire
I am leaving my past

Behind those mountains is a land
That is owned by genuine men
They wear a stone around their neck
Which they borrowed from a river
That supplies them with food and nutritious minerals

And if you follow the river to the north
You find their place

I have an injunction, don't look surprised
Time to get even in this unproved life
Questions all over the years I live
Time for some answers, beware of my drift
So on, be true, denial won't work
And there is nothing you can't do
A feast arises, be glad you're invited
The future has no past, pass the wine

The frost hits me in the eye and wakes me
These are blurry winters and I cannot see

I walk into the white light of the snow
When the sun comes
I break it with my shadow
Which tales me where I go

When did you loose your smile?
Were you walking all alone at night
searching endlessly for a way
to join the pieces of what you used to be?
Let me hold you for a moment

When, when did you loose your smile
Was it all too much to take at once

Say my name

Say my name
Your anger’s on fire

Will it ever be the same, If I came back to stay
and if we started all over again,
What difference will it make to you

I might be moving to the east
to part my ways
And I will try to get something
I don't have yet
If I do, I will look at it
for days and days
Untill I will never forget

Denial
The first (...)
Sweeter than honey
The second time
What's left
No time
A pleasant surprise
All the time

All I want
is to be where you are
Wisdom
will nurse you

Pass your sense
on to me
Weigh my hands

Outrun the fight
I use to hide
in quiet places

I'll refrase my cry
For I would keep on wondering
the rest of my life

The day you went away
You had to screw me over
I guess you didn't know
all the stuff you left me with
is way too much to handle
But I guess you don't care

You don't need to preach

He's in a rush run
He has to hurry dash
He's in a rat race
Never at a slow pace

Forever dangerous
And never serious
Up on your energy

What fine judgement I see
in the eyes of our world leaders
Oh how beautiful life could be
if it hadn't been shot to pieces

Shot to pieces

What secret music do I hear

Break yourself through the clouds
and build above those sleepy buildings
Mistified by your capabilities
all is yours if you can handle
Visable from higher than the sky
Plane and simple,
the facts are at your feet

Toda una vida de lucha y de trabajo sostenida sin nunca aflojar
Toda una vida de lucha y de trabajo sostenida sin nunca flaquear
Un pajaro en su jaula en primavera sabe claramente que hay algo
En lo cual le podria ser util
Se siente fuertemente vinco sin nacer pero el no puede hacerlo
Que es? se dice
El no se recuerda bien y
Luego tiene ideas vagas y se dice...

Jump in heat
Plunge to your truth
Agree with your youth
Consider defeat
Part and part
And separate
We will

it has always been in the back of my mind
dreaming about going to the corners of time
i always wanted to fly in strange machines

i wanna do centuries in a lifetime
and feel it with my hands
touch the world war II and Cleopatra
flying...

STRONGER

I won’t be listening to your words
Trying to pull me down (trying to pull me down)
But I just grow stronger
And nobody cares ‘bout you

Time – time won’t come back

The bowels of my thoughts, icy lake
Drain emotions from my bleeding soul
Tears that follow burn my skin
Dread to see myself, I ain't me
The sun encircles my shape on the ice
In my shadow I see the people below
Their frozen faces staring blank
All crying without a sound

Its quest around the sun
Mankind on the run
Overwhelming indifference
Destruction fills my eyes

Blue and full of life
Wandering through time
Being outer space

I'm waiting for your hands
to fold around my wrist
I'm mellowing in warm grass
And the scent of you I've missed

And blue is representing
The draft in my heart
I'm wandering through thin skies

Birth, age, death. The sudden realization
of aging and attempts to hide from time.
Time is crucial yet essential.
For ever and never, life lies between them."

Slowly...Flying silent
Touching the wind as it sadly sings...for me

He worries no more than he
Necessarily needs to fill his void
As big as space never ending thrill
He meets his will by choosing hate

Why choosing?
Need us to smile too?
Alright

Melodic stanzas
are symphonizing their way
through your weary head

To feed your distrust
And fill its mouth with the desire
to soulfully be one with your creation

The eyes are made to see
They see the paths of our lives

The heart is there to feel
It feels the energy of our time

I can see it
I can feel it

Now that we're through
the hell with you
We dont mind
We just give it a sigh

We hardly knew
what you were capable
of doing

It is 1 P.M.
School bell's ringing
My heart beats fast
I better get on running
She shouldn't be alone
I should have been at home

Your guns, your lies, your cigarettes, your war

Towards the light
I will move on
And so i learn
To move the one
Before the next
Steps i take
Will pave
The road
