Love
07:12
|

When your love is warm
And your eyes are bright
Then I spread my wings and my shadows fly
Over endless seas,
in eerie hues of blue
I stand still in time to cherish the view
Where your river meets
my most secret land
There grows a garden in me that bears the deepest truth
When the morning breaks
I hear the forest sing
“Teach your arms how to embrace”
When you love me, your wind
Blows from faraway, lures my dream
Now your love is cold
and your eyes are dark
and my wings are tied with the ropes of pride
Like a gloomy cave
my mind’s bare and grey
Time is washing away every picture of you
Now your river’s dry
in some forgotten place
A dust of memories covers the biggest lies
Now the night falls
I hear the desert mourn
“Bury it deep and seal your fire”
You don´t love me anymore
And a wicked silence mutes my soul

Forever
03:10
|

Let me fade now
Let me feel how
All shadows dwell into shine
Return from the exile to be forever
Set me free to fly
Let my last cry
One hope is feeding my sigh
One faith is going to steal my breath forever
Hear my grief toll
over the sin wall
The wooden scepter fate owns
echoes inside my heart until forever
Silent clouds come
Quiet wind whispers

Lyrics
I won’t ask why,
You chose another land, another dream to hang on
You will lie,
You feel a calling, your restless nature is to blame for
Flickering stars pave the way
Signs brighter than day,
Flares of change that can’t be tamed.
You’re not done with breaking walls
Willing again to lose it all
what are you looking for? (why are you walking away?)
Away from faded promises,
you’re flying away
Away, you’re chasing prophecies,
You’re flying away
The ruins of your wasted life
Will lurk around everywhere
Don’t deny
That compromising is what you’re mostly afraid of
But your eyes
Will never see a dawn purer than you’ve seen before
And your soul is set aflame
Feeding off your pain
Burns whatever gets in your way
You are fighting all alone
all your loved ones are long gone
will you keep on relying on hope?
Away from faded promises,
you’re flying away
Away, you’re chasing prophecies,
You’re flying away
The ruins of your wasted life
Will lurk around everywhere

Embrace this Madness

Embrace this Madness
Blind drunk dreams came by last night
Danced me to the beat of desires
Stumbling round and round out of senses
I could taste all that I’d ever wished for
I could taste all that I’d ever wished for
Embrace this madness
cause dreams never last for long
Embrace this madness
Drink this moment till the last drop…
Bare of doubts, seduced by this drug,
My soul craved for sin and I gave in.
And as I reveled in this sweet madness
I could hate dawn that would make it all gone
I could hate dawn that would make it all gone
Embrace this madness
cause dreams never last for long
Embrace this madness
Drink this moment till the last drop…

Dissolve
04:42

|

Waves of cold and fog come over me,
sculpting everything my body breathes
Along the blurry edges of my being,
I feel the ghostly presence of your needs
A fading smile, a word left in the air,
escaped from memories unseen
An open window in the morning glare
leads me away from this peculiar scene
Water in my blood
Thunder on my trees
Wind through my clouds
You make me
Dissolve
I’m a bird that drifts above your sea,
letting everything on wind and fate
A leap of faith to reach my apogee,
carries the salty wildness of your face
Water in my blood
Thunder on my trees
Wind through my clouds
You make me
Dissolve

How could I have known?
My whole world turned to grey
I have been looking the other way
where the dreams overgrow
How could I’ ve foreseen?
Clouds form into pain
Wind blows all choices away,
rooting out all rays of hope
What could I have done?
Weighed down by bitter rain
on a ground much too frail
I could neither fight nor retreat
I don’t grow older but sadder and sadder and sadder…
I don’t grow older but sadder and sadder and sadder…
How could I’ve been heard?
My voice a grain on a distorted day
Breath by breath as my inside drained,
I became one with my defeat
I don’t grow older but sadder and sadder and sadder…
I don’t grow older but sadder and sadder and sadder…

Room of Doubt
05:24
|
|
||
In the room of doubt,
I follow the steps of my deafening breath
Stark naked, lost in the maze
I dread the day that you’ll be gone
In the room of guilt,
I build my defense around a kingdom of lies,
desperately, every day, but collapses at night
I only wish I could forget
Running away…
In the room of selfishness,
I prey on the flesh of a deceptive threat
I growl, it feels bitter
when you care about somebody else
In the room of soberness,
I wear my suit, all my instincts restrained
I’m silent, I behave
as if I were somebody else
Running away…

Somewhere Safe
03:52
|
|

Lie down with me
An air of menace surrounds me
and I’m tired of showing my teeth
In this place, filled with hate,
this beast is suffocating
A sensitive part of me needs to nest somewhere safe
Soothe me, heal me, come, hold me close
Caress my suffering, please, hold me close
Against the crowd be my shield
Against this world that scares me
There are no gods in our realm
You are the one that’s holy to me
Spare me the pain
of seeking justice in vain
This world is bound to stay the same
Under my thick skin,
a girl needs to be freed
and fondly be kissed in the unceasing rain
Soothe me, heal me, come, hold me close
Caress my suffering, please, hold me close
Against the crowd be my shield
Against this world that scares me
There are no gods in our realm
You are the one that’s holy to me

Bittersweet Sunday
04:12
|
|
||
I remember golden Sunday mornings,
lying peacefully under our love’s tree
I knew deep inside me this couldn’t last forever,
a breeze of doubt would poison my thoughts
You get so intense that my faith has vanished
But compassion is all I was looking for
Bittersweet Sunday may it always be
As you get closer to the worst part of me
You keep on telling me to grow up, but why?
What’s so wrong with just being me?
Should I mature or free my mind?
I’m not even sure what works best for me
Still wondering who we are every time we try to think alike
How diverse we once used to be but kept going anyway
But kept going anyway, but kept going anyway…
Bittersweet Sunday may it always be
As you get closer to the worst part of me

Forgotten

Reason
Do I need one to set me
free from this beautiful prison
where I captured myself and my pride
Don´t try to
Fly
in this futile forgetful blue
It’s just a beautiful lie
an elusive place where truth’s untied
I´ll meet you
There,
along the trampled wet streets,
covered with nature’s despair,
we’ll leave this place where we reside
You, can, feel, now
I, left, my-self, be forgotten
Wonders,
Do I need to believe in
prayer, a cloth of hope to hide under
A starved soul trembles when blessed
Don´t waste more
Time,
staring at distant and shimmering seas
It´s a beautiful crime
A siren’s song makes me digress
I’ll meet you
There,
through the windy and starless night
that breathes our guilt in the air,
we’ll find a place we can’t possess
You, can, feel, now
I left my-self be forgotten

My Moon
04:59
|
|
||
His melancholy eyes
shroud nature’s mystery inside
He’s the son of moonlight
that gives shape to the weirdest desires
He renders me his heart
and the sea waves rise
So that I drift close beside him
but never feel he’s mine
Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine
He is a maze
of feelings unsaid
His soul’s disguised,
covered in the darkest hues of night
Night, Night, Night, Night
His face of solitude
is that of a forgotten star
Whose beauty may shine bright upon me
but we are destined to be apart
Apart, Apart, Apart, Apart
