Tracks



02. Hopeless (All We'll Ever Know)

When the darkness turns away
We smile and greet a new day
Days are passing fast and nights
They make us hide
The day is bright and our souls, they shine
Cause they are fragile like a glass
If you need a friend - pass by
Don't expect and don't count on us

Cause we're shadows, we're the jokes
Like crying clowns
We're the ghosts of evil past
Barely floating up and down
No one seems to care
Why the bridges are so dark and empty
Even sun can't shine enough
It can't shine enough
To light this death's pedestal

03. Awaking Inside

Know it's a trap but somehow I feel a need to leave
I'm calling out for wisdom in the ancient belief
Who can tell where to find the strength I need
And how to learn how not to know why we live

All those times when I was so alone in the dark
I tried to understand what choice do we really have
Are we alone in the maze of eternity's ways?
Or is it true that everything always ends

And every time I seek the truth - it turns away
And every time I turn to you - you just can't wait
And every time I ask the river who's to blame
Every time the river, it just runs away
And every time we think we know what waits for us
But every time we find that only future does
And every time, even when we shine so bright
Every time the part of us, it slowly dies

Is it all we'll ever know?
Is it all we'll ever know?

04. Dawn

The lakes of sadness
And the mountains of unkindness
With the clouds of tears drifting high
A cold heart never dares to cry
It's raining
It's raining outside
I'm awaking
I'm awaking inside
Awaking inside
There's no place to hide
Can't you hear us crying lonely in the night

Can you take away these empty dreams
and hold us tight
Come along into this dirty swamp
We all are calling home
Reach out and pull my heart away
It's in your hands, my life's in your hands

I don't need no salt to taste the loneliness and grief
I don't need your jokes 'cause the least I want now
is to laugh

Awaking inside
I'm awaking inside
There's no place to hide anymore
Awaking inside, awaking inside...

I don't need water
To kill the thirst away
No need for me to stay here
Don't need a road
I want to go where no one else has been
And I don't wish to return
I don't wish to return
No I don't wish to return

05. Snowdance (Warm Inside)

A time to like and not to be afraid
All your troubles seem far away
In this warm room waiting for her
(You have) a time to wait and a place to stay
She's not far away - you can feel that
She's coming to you, just be patient

Lonely trees behind the window in a dark afternoon
So black and naked in winter's cold
Should I pretend being so damned happy in this room?
Or feel like one of those leaves they have lost
'cause I am lost

That cold inaccessible beauty
Screaming now to be sheltered
Tamed and consoled
In these chains of warmth
Passing out the cosy comfort
To the places she lays her hands
Warm tears of joy and thanks
Sound all around they touch the ground
Sweet touchy music rings
Through all the wintertime
Tears falling and running all over through me
I'm melting and slipping in this harmony
Oh please won't you stay with me
(Remember walking in warm sand)

Pure white and peaceful snowflakls
That circle rounds in this
So cold and deadly dance
Behind the magic glass
(Give silently a feeling
Of safety, warmth and rest)
They dance to the death so warm
Tonight the stars will fall
And we'll be together
Tonight and forever
We'll fall with the snow

06. Blue Flame Fire Song (The Suicide World)

At the edge of spitting contempt at myself
Losing all mountains to conquer once again
Losing all forever now I'll stay aground
Killing thoughts oh so divine
Gotta find another way to make it through
Gonna find a place to stay away from you
Gotta end these days of blues and look into the death
Gonna hide from you again

In suicide world, deep inside
In the cut veins of my soul

I'll be flying with the winds so unreal
Touch the pain and misery, much too real
Drink the wisdom and drown myself in this poison cup
Laugh at all mistakes I've done

In suicide world, deep inside
In the ripped veins of my soul

Paralyzed, soaked in grey lies
Let me live in my cage
Madness lies just a touch away
Make the sorrow go away

The sorrow never goes away
In suicide world, deep inside
In the torn veins of my soul

Gotta find some rest in the long forgotten joy
Heal the wounds of the past to feel safe in this void
This void and the sorrow never go away

08. Last Dance (Into Death)

Tonight i'm making a bed
For my Love, for the dead
You smile to me for the last time
As you did for the first time

I feel the rivers in my eyes
I see the desert burning your insides
I'm holding you for the last time
As I did for the first time

Don't take her away from me
Don't part our ways like this

The last look of my loved one
It makes my heart burn
Your eyes are closed, the face so pale
And hands as cold as hail

All the joys we once shared
They make my future so unfair
I feel so weak
The loneliness will be my only friend

And in your eyes deep night lights on
I've never seen the stars so bright
It's you and me we're in this bed
Together us - we fight the death

(Yet one of us will loose
One of us will fall Again and forever
If only we could choose No more together
But one of us will fall) Please don't leave

Don't take her away from me
Don't part our ways like this

We meet the dawn and one of us is dead
The one I loved and knew so well
Last dance we twist - white clothes and us

No matter how - we'll make it last
Our last dance into death

09. Like Never Before

Wave to me my dearest friend
There's an axe over your head
Just one more step, reach out with your hand
But you can't realize
You can't understand
Thick clouds, they are all over you
They want you but I'll fight for you

Tonight we'll be safe... tonight we'll be safe
'cause we're not afraid of dark anymore
And we're strong in our doubts
Like never before

Tonight we'll be safe in our beds
But millions won't have the strength to rest

Wave to me my dearest friend
There's an axe over my head
Demons crawl with oh so sweet alternatives
Killing us inside, so primitive and naive
'cause we're not afraid of dark anymore
And we're strong in our doubts
Like never before

We're strong in our passions and doubts
Like never before, like never before

10. Farewell

Time
That had no flow
When you were there with me
Is gone, you're gone
I'm left alone
Still if you wish
You can find me
Anywhere
You want me to be
