Tracks



01. The Necklace

I just want you to know that I am sorry
For all things that I have said and done
Call me egoistic, call me reckless
I know that I was wrong

Souls are just like pearls you said
Your pearl shines so bright killing all the light

The necklace you create at the end of your life
It is mine of these pearls and each of them is different

I just want you to know that your pearl is one of the brightest
Shining through all the darkness that's inside my mind

Souls are just like pearls you said
Your pearl shines so bright killing all the light

I just want you to know that I am sorry
For all things that I have said and done
Call me egoistic, call me reckless
I know that I was wrong

02. Ode To The Outside World

Goodbye to all that counts in a frozen world of concrete walls
Goodbye to all the happiness, deep down in my hole I feel alive
Goodbye to all those wannabes drowning in their selfishness

Some day I will find myself hiding from the outside world
Torturing me within my mind so deep
No fear is left, just eternal peace

I am sick and tired of your small-checked minds
I am sick and tired of being slave to the (grind)

Goodbye to all that counts in a frozen world of concrete walls
Goodbye to all the happiness, deep down in my hole I feel alive

Goodbye to lust
Goodbye to pride
Goodbye to greed
Goodbye to sin

Some day I will find myself diving
Into the deep blue sea
There is no need to be afraid
Everything is calm down here

I am sick and tired of your small-checked minds
I am sick and tired of being slave to the (grind)

Goodbye to lust
Goodbye to pride
Goodbye to greed
Goodbye to sin

03. Crawling Waves

I leave the place to see you down there
I won't look back to see you falling in
And you believe in things that I once said
You leave the calling to penetrate me

Fold, Crawling

I am addicted to you, affected by you, you make me feel blue
I reach the cold blue to stop the bleeding
I am addicted to you, affected by you, you make me feel blue
Where the naked wind blows in my floating ceiling

Crawling waves, to cultivate the sea

I leave the place to see you down there
I won't look back to see her falling in

Crawling waves, to cultivate the sea

Improve the moulding to express yourself
And hold the shivering light, I kiss you goodbye
Transform all cellularing dreams in life
And mystify the fold, I feel fine

04. The Field Of The Sacred Flowers

The silence is lying heavy on my heart
In a field of sacred flowers
I see the shadow of your face

A sad memory of perfection

It is impossible to perceive
In a field of sacred flowers
I lost the shadow of your trace

The day you passed away the world came down on me
Now on your grave I lay
The sky fades to grey

All the things we said, still in my head
All the times we had, still in my heart

The day you passed away the world came down on me
Now on your grave I lay
The sky fades to grey

05. Silent Tears

Don't know how to describe
Don't know what is deep inside
These silent tears I cry
Don't know how I feel inside
Can't tell wrong from right
I keep on asking why
These silent tears I cry

Time is healing all the pain
They always say
But I feel the sorrow rising day by day
Time is healing all the pain
They always say
But in the end there will be another way

Don't know how I feel inside
Can't tell wrong from right
I keep on asking why
These silent tears I cry

Too late, the sorrow has gone
Too late, I am still alone
Too late, the faith has gone
Too late, the sorrow has gone
Too late, I am still alone
Too late, the faith has gone

Time is healing all the pain
They always say
But I feel the sorrow rising day by day
Time is healing all the pain
They always say
But in the end there will be another way

06. Balance Of Blue

Remember they were crawling in my memories
And she is crying in her loneliness
While they were standing out there in the line
She gave up my heart, while she was dying

Grey rain falls, how long can it take, how long?

I want to hold you down, hold you
In my balance of blue

Grey rain falls, how long can it take, how long?

I want to hold you down, hold you
In my balance of blue

Where are you now, oh my sweet love?
They saw you in a gown, oh my sweet love
I try to hold you down, oh my sweet love
They saw you drown, in the sea, my love

07. Infant Sorrow

Time stands still as I stare at the water
Your hand is all I can feel
Time stands still as I gaze at the sky
Don't know if this is for real

My mother growned, my father wept
Into the dangerous world I lept

Struggling in my father's hands
Striving against my struggling bands
Bound and weary I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast

Time stands still as I stare at the water
Your hand is all I can feel
Time stands still as I gaze at the sky
Don't know if this is for real

Strive mother earth
Strive mother

My mother growned, my father wept
Into the dangerous world I lept

Struggling in my father's hands
Striving against my struggling bands
Bound and weary I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast

Strive mother earth
Strive mother

08. Turn The Page

Time has come to cleanse my soul from all the grief
Time has come, there is so much more to achieve
Threatening skies, dark cold winter nights
Guide my way through all the emptiness

Turn the page, let the storm become your closest friend
Turn the page, let the rain wash away your tears

Time has come to get rid of all that rapes my mind
Time has come to leave the whole world behind
There will be no darkened skies
There will be just warning light

Turn the page, let the storm become your closest friend
Turn the page, let the rain wash away your tears

Far from a distance
They are calling
Far from tomorrow
It won't be the same

Turn the page, let the storm become your closest friend
Turn the page, let the rain wash away your tears

09. Falling Away

When I reach the mournful skies
You see me falling away with you
You will leave the paradise
To see the place where I lost you

I close my eyes and passed the day into misery
Please wake me up
Hear my calling
I close my eyes and passed the day into misery
Please wake me up

The grey sea, the long black land
The half moon, large and low

The little waves start to leap
From their sleep

The only thing I ever wanted
I thought I could get away
I think I am drowning
And you catch my dream away

You will love what I become
To hold me, I promise you
I hold you close and calling
The silent cosmos a perfect blue

The grey sea, the long black land
The half moon, large and low
The little waves start to leap
(Please wake me up)
From their sleep
(From my dream)

I close my eyes and passed the day into misery
Please wake me up
Hear my calling
I close my eyes and passed the day into misery
Please wake me up from my dream

When I reach the mournful skies
You see me falling away with you
You will leave the paradise
To see the place where I lost you

I'm falling away with you
I'm falling away with you

10. Crowned With Leaves

The dreams of days forsaken
Where peace and winds have taken
No life lives forever
And deadmen never rise
But even the weariest river
Winds somewhere save to sea
I watch the green field growing

Crowned with leaves she stands
With cold immortal hands

She waits for each and other
She waits for all men born
Forgets the earth her mother
The life of fruits and corn
We are not sure of sorrow
And joy was never real
Today will die tomorrow

Crowned with leaves she stands
With cold immortal hands

Crowned with leaves she stands
With cold immortal hands

11. It Never Ends

Wish I could hate you
Wish I could forget our past
Wish I could say that it's all over
But it never ends

I love the way you smile
I like the way you feel
I adore the way you kiss
Abhor the way you lie to me

Hold out I will be there for you
Hold out we will make it through

I love the way you smile
I like the way you feel
I adore the way you kiss
Abhor the way you lie to me

Wish I could trust you
Wish I could erase the past
Wish I could say that it's all over
But it never ends

Hold out I will be there for you
Hold out we will make it through

I love the way you smile
I like the way you feel
I adore the way you kiss
Abhor the way you lie to me

12. The Final Chapter

There is no harbour
There is nowhere to go
Only the deepening blackness
Surrounding you
There is no way
There is nowhere to hide
There is nothing
But all the tears I have cried

This might be the end, the final chapter
Falling down, falling down so deep

There is no home
There is no light to see
Only the deepening blackness
Surrounding me

This might be the end, the final chapter
Falling down, falling down so deep

There is no way out
Of this falling down

This might be the end, the final chapter
Falling down, falling down so deep
