The liar and his judgement prayer
To heaven his words will remain
Forever and through night and day
I will be there, I will be there
Inner enemy, no serenity
Boldly ignorance, so-called innocence
Just a minor scrape, previous escape
Forgivable mistakes, close relation breaks
I've been away for too long
Chains that held me all along
It was a wearing road to
Reach a place that they call home
(a place you belong)
And after all
Nothing is left
I can hold on
And as my wounds are healing
All the threats I knew are gone
(becoming strong)
Relentless attempts
A journey to end
A young boy is grown
Guided by love and by peace, by understanding
Acting according to reason, for sure demanding
A pleasant mind and persistence, is what got me this far
Our decisions they make us what we are
I've been away for too long
Chains that held me all along
It was a wearing road to
Reach a place that they call home
(a place you belong)
And after all
Nothing is left
I can hold on
It was a wearing road to
Reach a place that they call home
And as my wounds are healing
All the threats I knew are gone
(becoming strong)
Relentless attempts
A journey to end
A young boy is grown

The Burden
05:19

Silent sentence
Shattered senses
Far from what's left in my mind
The spark of light that defines
A memory once forgotten
Guiding me weak and broken
Letting go of all the things I know
And who I think I’ve been
Is everything you taught me at the edge of who you’ve seen
To see your world within my mind
Is all you had to claim
Making me a better man with the love that has remained
The deepest love existing, for a second once denied
Will disappear, we all must say goodbye
A ghostly young child in the wild to weather the night
Is selling the weariness of life
Who knows the burden?
Tear blind eyes, quiet cries in fear surprised
That memory full of sorrow
Casts clouds and hides love true
Let go of all the shadows
To end my sadness when I see you
Letting go of all the things I know
And who I think I’ve been
Is everything you taught me at the edge of who you’ve seen
To see your world within my mind
Is all you had to claim
Making me a better man with the love that has remained
The deepest love existing, for a second once denied
Will disappear, we all must say goodbye
A ghostly young child in the wild to weather the night
Is selling the weariness of life
Who knows the burden?
Tear blind eyes, quiet cries in fear surprised

Fire Away

Blood thick as oil dripping down the soil
Poor souls fighting on unoccupied shores
A filthy word spoken and hordes obey
The light in newborns washed away
And nobody cares when they see the scars
Turn it all over and it’s them who stare from behind the bars
Fire away, fire away
Show us the men condemned
Will you ever make amends
Fire away
Show us where it all began
Do you know where it all will end
Fire away
Irons cold as ice clashing through the night
It always starts with a minor stroke
The sheep asleep in pleasant sheds
A dead winter when the lion awakes
And nobody cares when they see the scars
Turn it all over and it’s us who stare from behind the bars
Fire away, fire away
Show us the men condemned
Will you ever make amends
Fire away
Show us where it all began
Do you know where it all will end
Fire away
Your history obscure
Your lying allures
Your failure denied
Your moral expired
The evil that arose from us
The greed, the craving, the lust
We put everything at stake
Avert our eyes from what we create
And so we’ll have our fate
Fire away, fire away
Show us the men condemned
Will you ever make amends
Fire away
Show us where it all began
Do you know where it all will end
Fire away

Nightfall

Nightfall
Warm light from the window
Looking back at you
With words too proud to say
Another heart fading away
Close call
A second chance is given
With nothing to regret
Those dreams begin again
My love for you remains
Riding a wave we have our doubts and worries
It feels like sink or swim
With every change we think we're closer
But deep within our hearts
Somehow we're drifting far apart
Morning
A red sky slowly rising
We can't look away
Hand in hand we blindly go
Where we have been before
Free fall
A promise once it's given
All our smiles wane
Telling us to stay
And then we change it anyway
Riding a wave we have our doubts and worries
It feels like sink or swim
With every change we think we're closer
But deep within our hearts
Somehow we're drifting far apart
All the while
You quietly strayed
Signs you sowed hidden
Time passes, gone now
Nowhere I'll find
A safe place to hide
Someday I'll find
Shadows in your eyes
Riding a wave we have our doubts and worries
It feels like sink or swim
With every change we think we're closer
But deep within our hearts
Somehow we're drifting far apart

I remember something that's lost
A fraction of your soul
Deep down in the darkest eyes
Now here we are
Stranded on the shores of sand and time
But how did it come so far
Our bags were packed with hope
To sail to newer worlds
A past outgrown by old
And empty promises
As we were standing still
You begged me not to leave
A wish I never could fulfill
I moved out with the breeze
All that I ever knew
Lies finally behind
All the choices, some day
Will bring me back to you
As days were going by
No danger to expect
But suddenly the deepest blue
Would shake the rotten deck
Now in the knowledge that
The chilling ice is near
But after all I realized
My life won't end in fear
All that I ever knew
Lies finally behind
All the choices
Won't bring me back to you
One last song before I sleep
One last breath before I leave
Bury this treasure in your heart
Then we'll never be apart
And one day we'll meet again
One day I'll see you again
Don't despair
Don't deny
Sail away
Into the sky
All our dreams
Hold them tight
For one last breath
And release them into the light

Dawn Pt. 1
08:12
|
|

Darkness surrounds me wet to the bone
An unfamiliar solitude wearing me down
Ideas of tomorrow add to the weight
Of duties to be fulfilled before it's too late
Angelic voices strengthen the impulse
That leads me all through the night
To the end of an impasse
Until the way back is blocked and my need is out of sight
Far from what's left in my mind
The spark of light that defines
As you're walking down the stairs
So beautiful in white
No one dares to take a breath
So you spread your wings and fly
Blinded by the light
A state of complete confusion
Overcome by fright
Is my life just a delusion
Day after day black clouds hid the sun
For years I was frozen, so much left undone
At that lucky moment there is no need to flee
Your lovely sight is what makes me feel free
My memory once forgotten
Guiding me weak and broken
As you're walking down the stairs
With eyes of deepest blue
No one dares to say a word
But I'm prepared to go with you

Complete reincarnation, an altered state of mind
Like an invitation to a brave new world
Standing on that height
The promised land is in sight
And I do proclaim: May the elements unite!
Far from isolation, direction is outlined
A worthwhile destination on the road of life
Standing on that height
The promised land is in sight
The fog lifted and thunder fades out
The wetness, the water, the strenght of the earth,
The breathable air, the fire and light
And I do proclaim: May the elements unite!
Without limitation, I'm reaching for the stars
Agitation, I see the missing stairs
Standing just right before the abyss
It seems something went wrong
Elements won't unite

Our Kingdom
06:43

Quiet steps slowly approaching
Warm hands reaching out for me
To take me for a walk through the ruins of my life
I leave it all behind, fetters to unbind
I brought the spark and you brought the flame
I showed you my sins and you made me change
Words that I said and the things you received
Expose who I am and who I'll become after you're gone
You're the scorching fire in my heart
That makes me burning through the dark
You're the sparkling water on my skin
That clears my mind and keeps me sane
Will I see you stay, forever and a day
Stone by stone and heartbeat by heartbeat
We build this kingdom of our own
The draft is in our hands, no foes left to defeat
Stone by stone and heartbeat by heartbeat
We build this kingdom of our own
Hand in hand, together we'll ascend the throne
I brought the spark and you brought the flame
I showed you my sins and you made me change
Words that I said and the things you received
Expose who I am and who I'll become after you're gone
You're the scorching fire in my heart
That makes me burning through the dark
You're the sparkling water on my skin
That clears my mind and keeps me sane
Will I see you stay, forever and a day
Cause I'll walk by your side, forever and a night

Elements

Your fire burned down all the walls around me
It left me burned out, shelterless for everyone to see
The water in your eyes outshines all the rising stars
The blur that is hiding the beating of our hearts
All the lies, all the missteps,
All the times I did not listen
When your wounds called for healing
When you tried to explain what you’re feeling
Each of those moments savoured
Preciously, a sweet yet painful flavor
The fundamentum of our charm
The elements of who we are
I ride with the winds, flying in the face of reason
As earth breaks into fragments, leaving me with my demon
All my lies, all your distress,
All the times I showed no interest
When your wounds called for healing
I could not understand what you were seeing
Each of those moments savoured
Preciously, a sweet yet painful flavor
The fundamentum of our charm
The elements of who we are
They made us architects of our sentiments
We laughed in the presence of the elements
To prove that love,
That trust always wins
But the story ends, yeah it always ends
Where it begins
