Tracks



01. Second Shadow

Mommy?... Mommy?...
Mommy?... Mommy?...
Mommy?...

In a field of mines and spines
I'm walking barefoot - I'm alone
You've moved away from our roots
But to me it's still my home

And it says:
I'm falling - I am drowning
Do not come with me in my fall
Please no crying - keep on fighting
In my memory - Second Shadow
Second Shadow

Hold me in your arms?
Hold me here forever
Please be my new mother

Eat your silver!
Eat your silver!
Eat your gold!
Unleash the Water
And flood the River
Burst the banks

And my father says:
I'm falling - I am drowning
Do not come with me in my fall
Please no crying - keep on fighting
In my memory - Second Shadow
Second Shadow

I have finally tamed the Aurochs
I can now live my life
The wind is coming
And to these people on the other side I say:
Eat your silver
Eat your gold
Eat your soul

Eat your gold?

Somewhere else there should have been time
For my mother to love me?
On barbed wire, we're tearing our chances
It's the longest war

And my father said:
I'm falling - I am drowning
Do not come with me in my fall
Please no crying - keep on fighting
In my memory - Second Shadow
Second Shadow

02. The Silence Of Dreams

Real? - Unreal?
I don't care
They're here

From different times and different places
They've come to my world
To my secret eyes

Lost I am and lost I will remain for hours
Among them? 'Cos I need this break

I will return with the morning light

Lost in the Silence of Dreams
With the souls that have inspired me
Lost in the Silence of Dreams
I ask myself
"What in the world are you gonna do?"

I need your words and I need
Your memories to lead me
Show me the way
Stand by me, I need you by my side
By? my? side
Light me the way

No? no? no?
Lost? lost in? a halo of words

Lost in the Silence of Dreams
With the souls that have inspired me
Lost in the Silence of Dreams
I ask myself
"What in the world are you gonna do?"

There in my dreams
There is a silent nation
My future world and my true medication
There in silence, I study all my options
And I wonder is this a real illusion?

My grandfather
The father of my passion
Could they tell me what are the best solutions?
But on their lips there is only one question
What are you gonna do to save our vision?

What in the world are you gonna do?

Lost in the Silence of Dreams
With the souls that have inspired me
Lost in the Silence of Dreams
I ask myself
"What in the world are you gonna do?"

03. Only Your Soul

Look at these pictures on the floor
Landscapes of beautiful colors
And no rain

Naive scenes and naive dreams
Illuminated by sunbeams
It's your heart

'Cos only your soul...
Could have dreamt that?

I have lost many illusions
They have left me with the eons
Of a lifetime

And now if I would paint again
What of all this would still remain
In my mind

'Cos only your soul?
Could have dreamt that?

Go?. And dance now? On his soul
Go?. And dance now? On his soul

No barriers, no frontiers
Only you could have dreamt that
No courthouse ruled by fears
Only you could have dreamt that

You don't know? How I feel?
The pain that is inside your heart?
I know you, I've made you?
Only you could have dreamt that!..

Only your soul...
Could have dreamt that?

04. Unplug My Brain

Isolate me from them
From all the new paragons of the system
Erase my memories
'Cos they're so beautiful that they hurt me

I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to stay here
In a magma of questions I want to clear
I don't want, I don't want?
Give me a second life
Just for a little while, just for the night

Unplug my brain
Let me forget for a while the falling sand
Unplug my brain - let me go insane?

Fill my eyes with some mad lights
And fill my spirit with some C-2-H-6-O
Yes, fill me with emptiness
And give me a break - let it, let it go...

I just want, I just want, just want it to be true
It's my time to be fine
Just for a moment
I just want, I just want?
Give me a second life
Just for a little night? Narrow my sight

Unplug my brain
Let me forget for a while the falling sand
Unplug my brain - let me go insane?

I am locked? In a train?
A train which has lost its way
I feel sick? Ease my pain?
Heal my soul!..

Unplug my brain
Let me forget for a while the falling sand
Unplug my brain - let me go insane?

Unplug my brain
Let me forget all these lines cutting my hands
Unplug my brain - let me go insane?

05. In Hayao's Arms

Instrumental

06. Spirited Away

Here? Here it's different
I'm the animal?
It's hard? to have no reflection
In the main mirror

I often roam the paths you have imagined
Everything floats in your stories
Bringing along our broken minds

Go aboard the oceanic train

Dancing around her
Sharing the dreams
Of a gliding river
Pouring water in a desert of thoughts
Like a mental healer
Spirited away!

A flying castle I can't tame
The lost meaning of life
I try to remember my name
But I can't?

Dancing around her
Sharing the dreams
Of a gliding river
Pouring water in a desert of thoughts
Like a mental healer
Spirited away!

Give me my name back
Give it back to me
Imagination can take you anywhere
Pigs will be pigs, will be pigs, will be pigs

Dancing around her
Sharing the dreams
Of a gliding river
Pouring water in a desert of thoughts
Like a mental healer

Spirited away

07. The White Room

Crab claws hold me tight
Or maybe something else
Years or a love night
I don't remember

Throughout the white light
She comes to me
Into this room? white
I'm on my own
I'm not sure but I think
That I'm not afraid anymore
So tomorrow, please?
Please, unplug me?

But first after me just?

Give me just?
One more night one more run
One more day? under the sun
To say goodbye to all the things that I've loved

Now time is shifting
Just like the sea
I'll know what's up there
Please, don't hold me
I will collapse soon
Hope's not permitted anymore
So tomorrow, please?
Please, unplug me?

I'll walk this path alone?

Give me just?
One more night one more run
One more day? under the sun
To say goodbye to all the things that I've loved

08. Soulburst

I'm rather calm?
But sometimes?
My anguish takes me far away?

Dreamer - heartly
My memory is not so sane
Thoughtful - tolerant
The enemy is not outside
Sensitive - angry
The enemy's not by my side
Anxious - proud
My enemy is there inside
Spiteful - curious
In another time I would have been burnt
Joyfull? - Happy?
Even today I'm not so sure

Darkly, darkly, all the sins in me
Are sleeping in the web of my brain
Slowly, slowly, all the dark in me
Is creeping over all my roots and veins

Sadly, sadly my uncontrolled sap
Time after time, it goes back and forth
Relentlessly, looking for my map
I try every state for what it's worth

One soul
Temporal lobe - you damn fucker
Two souls!
Anxiety - my sister!
Three souls?
Mental illness - has gathered
All these souls
Cortex Vortex - damn fucker

Cell fields?
Connected or free
Are making such a mess
In some areas? of my brain?

Am I alive?
Please pinch my arms
Into a sea of feelings I dive?

From I to I
I'm cold or warm
Into a mist of changes I fly
Between love and hate?

I dig and under the surface
There's something else
So I dig again
And I find something else
Again and again

I do it for hours and hours
Deeper and deeper
But it seems endless
I never reach the bottom
Of all the layers?

Cell fields?
Connected or free
Are making such a mess
In some areas?

Mirrors
Is it "I" or "we"?
Are standing face to face
Thousands of me?

My mind is free
It can act like a politician
My mind is free like a horse
You put under pressure
My mind is free
It does what he wants when he wants it?
My mind is free
And sadly he is an anarchist

Mess!
That's what I can see on my way!

Noooooooooooooooow?
Leave me, leave me
Leave me alone for a while
Let me
Let me write my storyline
Let me now complete
This big jigsaw in my head
Go away - now
There's only room for myself

Cell fields?
Connected or free
Are making such a mess
In some areas?

Mirrors
Is it "I" or "we"?
Are standing face to face
Thousands of me?

09. At My Door

A state not well known
To science, to all
The book of your laws
Doesn't answer my calls
And wherever I go
I am facing your walls!

In the song you all play
I'm looking for my chords
I'm looking for a way
To give life to my words
But it's a labyrinth
Where I just want to scream!
I am here

I would give all I have?
If we could filter the noise
When we try to link our souls
And our worlds
But we're both waiting by the door
Without the code
At my door?

Not above, not below
Just teach me the rules
But don't give me these blows
As if I were a fool
I want to understand you
Whatever it takes!

I would give all I have?
If we could filter the noise
When we try to link our souls
And our worlds
But we're both waiting by the door
Without the code
At my door?

Come into my world
Sometimes a computer
Come into my world
Sometimes a stone? with a heart
Come into my world
I'm not a circus freak

I sometimes stumble over words
As I stumble over the common feelings
But, please, show me your world
Fly me high over this door for a moment

Please, fly me to?
Please, fly me to?

All! All I have?
If we could filter the noise
When we try to link our souls
And our worlds
But we're both waiting by the door
Without the code
At my door?
I would give all I have?
If we could filter the noise
When we try to link our souls
And our worlds
But we're both waiting by the door
Without the code
At my door?

10. Shivers

Sweat and shivers - I can't sleep
And out of breath - I grip my sheets
I am back - but over there
I've left something - I'm fucking scared!

I remember the things I have done?
They're coming back at me
Even alone I feel someone
I see it everywhere

No more plans - no more!
No more faith - no more!
No more rest - no more life!

Kill 'em all! Kill 'em all!
Kill 'em all! Again!

I feel useless - I feel like a child
I feel weak - tell me a lie
I would after? would after years?
After ten years? for some relief?

I remember the things I have done?
They're coming back at me
Even alone I feel someone
I see it everywhere

No more plans - no more!
No more faith - no more!
No more rest - no more life!

Why? did you sent me there? alone?
Why? have you left me there? alone?
Tell me why? even here I'm there? alone?
Why? even here I'm there? alone?
All alone!

I remember the things I have done?
They're coming back at me
Even alone I feel someone
I see it everywhere

No more plans - no more!
No more faith - no more!
No more rest - no more life!

11. Instants In Time

Walking the ways
Of some dates and some lives
Observing the traits
Of a long time dead child
Pictures and paints
Are the tricks of mankind
Leading astray our credulous minds
Our credulous minds!

We are words
We are mayflies
We all vanish in time
From our very first cries
We're all dying inside

Walking around? all these instants in time
Losing myself? in the museum's aisles
It marks my heart
With a red-hot iron
Do you feel the weight
Of these dates in my rhymes?
My rhymes? In time!
Will they survive? In time!

We are words
We are mayflies
We all vanish in time
From our very first cries
We're all dying inside

Let the dust? cover it
Under the rust? We are lost
These pictures? all of us
We'll all vanish? in time?

We are words
We are mayflies
We all vanish in time
From our very first cries
We're all dying inside

Like the movies we watch
And the books that we read
About the old times
Though we may sometimes think
That in parallel world their story lives on
But we are forced to admit
That they're, for ages, gone
Walking the ways
Of these instants in time
These pictures will remain
But they're just a trick
Cos' them? us? we'll all?
We'll all? vanish? in time!

12. Remembering

Instrumental

13. Fly

Queen of dust...
Like a queen of dust...
She lies...
Days of lust...
Our endless lust...
Has dried...
Everything...

Queen of dust...
Like a queen of dust...
She lies...
Into all the dust of mankind...
Days of lust...
Luxury and lust...
Has passed...
Now the queen of all the ashes...

We rise, we fall, we fly
We rise, we fall, we fly

Quietly, silently
Quietly, silently
We fly

We rise, we fall, we fly
We rise, we fall, we fly

In the wind
We'll swirl in the wind
