My crazy other self has been awakened
I close my eyes as I let go, he's now in control
Foolish boy there's a price to pay
“No-one can stop me now, well guess who’s in command”
As I’m trying to find his third shoe
He's putting his Elvis glasses on
Hey buddy pour me a long drink with a yellow straw
Oh, mama, meet me on the dancing floor
Oh, sister give me a long long juicy kiss
Lights fading, the show’s about to begin
Oh, light up my cigar boy, will ya?
And I'll show a world of legalized insanity
His costume's on, as I paint his feet
Cause there's no time to find a pair of matching socks
So, tell me Doc, is there a name for what I feel?
Tell me what are you gonna do with me?
Enough said, my world now here I come
As I'll undo your bra with just one look
Love me as I’m hanging from the chandelier
Lights fading, the show’s about to begin

Modern Objector
03:55
|
|||
Oh, so many tales
So many laughs and cries
Hard to explain the will
To suck out all the marrow of life
Is this just a dream?
Or reality?
Well it's hard to be
Just another clown of this bad play
Well honey, I’ve been trying to think
Of something smart to write
But you won’t care to read
Oh well isn’t that a waste of time
Well honey, this is who we are
What we have become
Strangers in same old town
Drifting far apart
Oh, well I'm just tired of
Trying to understand
Old habits die hard
Isn't that enough?
Did I make myself clear?
Did you get my point of view?
Tell me, did you get upset?
Show me what you gonna do
Well honey, I’ve been trying to think
Of something smart to write
But you won’t care to read
Oh, well isn’t that a waste of time
Well honey, this is who we are
What we have become
Strangers in this modern world
Oh, tell me do you give a fuck?

Dancing In The Dark
04:56
|
|||
Oh it’s one of those nights again my dear
Trying to fool myself we’ve never split apart
We both know luck wasn’t on our side
Wish you were here for a while
Oh life has passed us by my dear
Still my heart beats for you like when we were young back then
I know we both took our separate ways
Wish you were here for a while
I am dancing like a fool with my eyes closed
Hoping you could hold my hand
I’ve been and I’ll always be your fool darling
There’s nothing more to understand
Kiss me now my love, before we wake up
Oh, night is young with stories to tell
You may say she's a common friend my love
I know she speaks through us ever since
Wish you were here for a while
Another glass of wine is over
Another play tomorrow oh will be set somewhere
Only you can make me feel complete
Wish you were here for a while
I'm dancing like a fool with my eyes closed
Hoping you could hold my hand
I’ve been and I’ll always be your fool darling
There’s nothing more to understand
Kiss me now my love, before we wake up

Sister Of Night
05:17
|
|||
Night is falling sister, as I hear the howling wind
No port to moor across the seven seas
Time has come oh sister, stars are aligned now as I hear the call
I won’t go gentle into that good night
I’ve been surrounded by sirens on my way to you
Promising tempting lies and seducing oaths
Help me out sister, as I run away to live
Guide me through till the end of time
Help me be sister strong not to deviate
Preserve me from my human flesh
Don't you tolerate me, don't you feel any sympathy
Feel no remorse oh sister, virtues for the weak
Take me down sister, to the deepest seas you can
Fly me high, let me touch the brightest stars
Help me out sister, as I run away to live
Guide me through till the end of time
Help me be sister, strong not to deviate
Preserve me from my human flesh
Tide is high as I’m sailing
To unfamiliar seas
Encumbered by moral high to a promised unknown
I open up my arms now
As it rains down on me
My beating heart fears no more the path that I chose
I’ve been moving forward
Right against all odds
Seeking out for tales and truths as I’m praying for time
Satisfy this need now
As it burns me to the bone,
I embrace you now as I bow
Body and soul

A Game Of Fate
04:05
|
|||
Tell me Gods is this real?
As all tales come true
Struck by Cupid's arrows
Dazzled by your intoxicating beauty
Here I stand in the shape of music
This is the sound of our love
Dance with me maiden of dreams
And surrender to this love
The heart and mind now in battle
Kiss me now and believe
And you'll blossom my night flower
With the scents of our love
Tell me stars I'm not dreaming
As I'm holding a fallen star in my hands
Oh, blessed by the Gods here I come now
Fly with me my beloved
I'll climb the highest mountains
And I'll tame the wildest seas
Under your name my brunette lily
This is our fairy tale come true
A game of fate my love
Written way before us
Let there be light
Shine and illuminate now my star
Here I stand now naked
Right in front of you
A re-born man by you woman
Hold my hand and stand by my side
Kneel now my lady
Let me put your crown on
And put mine on too my love
We write the story to tell
Let this fire in our hearts
Be our shelter my love
Burning throughout time
And be forever as one

The Sound Of Music
07:35
|
|||
Was born on a hazy night
In an instant moment
Slipped out from the sounds of your anxious soul
Stranded in your mind
Disembodied and so pure
Father time has come
To let me be free
Shinny and at my best
Here I stand now
World in front of you
No more linger
Who am I?
Can’t you recognize me stranger?
Tell me world now
Do you care?
Where am I?
Track me down if you can stranger
And I’ll reveal my inner self
Oh, someone...
Catch me if you can
Elusive as I am
I am here, I am there I can be everywhere
Everlasting throughout time
I can truly be
Listen as it depends
My very existence
I am flying over you
Just to be listened to
Oh don’t you understand?
Can’t you feel it?
Who am I?
Can’t you recognize me stranger?
Tell me world now
Do you care?
Where am I?
Track me down if you can stranger
And I’ll reveal my inner self
Oh, someone…
Oh, listen if you dare
For a moment or two
Give me now the chance
To show my maker’s soul
I can make you move
I can make you laugh
I can send you shivers
Down to your spine
Let me enter
Oh, tell me world the truth
Was I good enough
Will I be in the dark
Or be immortal
Oh, tell me
Take me to the ground
Or high to the skies
And time will be the judge
If you were good enough for me too

No Safety Net
03:43
|
|||
Through the mud and stone here I come
Under city lights like a thief
Greek white and Italian blue
Oh there she is waiting
Our piercing eyes meet
Two worlds collide
We're drowning in a sea of lust and hunger
Scattered pearls next to red heels
The color of cognac reflecting in our eyes
Raising bets in a game of high stakes,
Everything darling is made from dreams
Our thirsty bodies meet
And become as one
We've past the point of no return
We're flying high above the ground
Free in a world of musts and shoulds
Oh darling higher and higher
Just you and me

Color Of Our Soul
06:40
|
|||
Far beyond the stars, well I’ve set sail
Oh, beneath the scarlet skies
The wild wind as my fellow traveler
Next to me every step of the way
The sun and the moon are lighting now my way
Under the night’s finest veil
Seeking out all these things I didn’t not find
See, explore and conquer
Oh mother, what am I’m looking for
Nothing new taught to share
Just to find what I’ve already known
Already taught from you
Oh, mother, lay your hands around me now
And sing the mumbling truth of who we truly are
Oh, brothers make a circle and join the past with the future
We’ve wasted so much time
Oh darling, dance and hit the ground
And let the world see the color of our soul
I’ve climbed every rooftop of the world
And I’ve swum in every sea
I bowed in each and every wonder in the distant
corners of the world
I was offered the finest wines and gifts
From the far east and the west
But even so mother, my oh my again
Nothing could be compared to you
Another circle is now complete
Another tale without a hero
Bless me under your golden wings
We make the story to tell
Oh, mother, lay your hands around me now
And sing the mumbling truth of who we truly are
Oh, brothers make a circle and join the past with the future
We’ve wasted so much time
Oh darling, dance and hit the ground
And let the world see the color of our soul

A Sacred Quest
04:01
|
|||
Here is a tale and notorious myth
Oh, nymph under your name
A man on a quest to make you his
Enchanted by your nature deity
Oh, he addressed to the stars, the mystical moon and the eternal sun
Oh and to the forests and yet nothing but silence in the echo of the night
Intoxicating beauty show yourself and be forever mine
Oh, let my voice be the beacon as the wind blows my words to you
His fame was spread throughout the world
As tireless and dauntless
He moved mountains and he cut the sea
And slayed every creature on his way
Oh, and every night he prayed to the Gods and burning kings from the past
Oh, to rise high and light up his path and in debt forever he’ll be
Show me a sign maiden of May and I will be yours till the end of time
Surrender lily of dawn and I will make beds of roses from our love to breed
Just like a dream, a silhouette appeared
As the clouds hid the moon
In the midst of the night there she was
Like a morning dew in the lake
Oh, night murder the sound and stand still, don’t scare her away
As he was walking in footsteps dazzled by her presence into the lake
And then she kissed him and as they were drowning he whispered to her
If that’s the price of your love my beloved here I’m eternally yours

Linger
04:21
|
|||
Mass of clones, brave big words by great pretenders
Same old fears, same old faults, oh repeated stories
Oh, rainy clouds, pour it down and quench my thirst now
Oh, wild winds, get me drunk with scents from distant worlds
And then it feels like I’m in a pallet full of colors
Black and white, blue and red, green, grey and yellow
I'll paint my day routine to the colors of my youth
As if I were a kid
Let it linger
Now I’m dancing on my own as if there’s no tomorrow
Just to see if I can cheat death for just one moment
Let it linger
Tainted love, bleeding hearts, under deceptive moonlights
Fields of gold, promises that amount to nothing
I’ll reap the seeds of your divine beauty
Sanctify this night full of hidden treasures
And then it feels like I’m in a pallet full of colors
Black and white, blue and red, green, grey and yellow
I'll paint my day routine to the colors of my youth
As if I were a kid
Let it linger
Now I’m dancing on my own as If there’s no tomorrow
Just to see if I can cheat death for just one moment
Let it linger
Brothers, sisters around the world
Let tonight be a story to tell
With holding hands all around us
Reach out faith and touch the sky

Origins
05:12
|

I traveled each and every highway
As I drifted away from her protecting arms
Ι dig my hands into her blessed earth
As forgotten childhood scents surrounded me
Black and white abstract pictures from the past
Unravel slowly now my path
Waking up each and every sense
As I salute your waking beauty
Tell me now do you see what I see
As we fly over the golden rooftops of my world
Tell me now do you feel what I feel
As we land at the peaceful shores of my world
I see the sun like never before
I feel the night flower on your summer breeze
I hear the music in in your perfect harmony
As I stumble from the drunkenness of your beauty
Feeling like a living ancient God,
As I spread my winds high above the clouds
Be my compass in the rough sea
And I’ll be a part of your story to tell
Tell me now do you see what I see
As we fly over the golden rooftops of my world
Tell me now do you feel what I feel
As we land at the peaceful shores of my world
To the highest mountain
Under a full moon
Oh, blend fire with light
And raise your swords up to the sky
There where the bluest waves meet the bluest skies
Where summer nights meet starry skies
Where the sun shines and turns everything to gold
Your reborn sun rises under your name

Reflections Of Them
05:53
|
|||
So here we are brothers and sisters
A story of our lives told by someone else
Bleeding truths overflowing from within
As brothers in arms are falling one by one
Got no future brother, we`ve got no past
No recollection of who we are
Tired to hold our heads up high
Arrogant to look us in the eyes
Hold me now brother
Cause I can't move my feet
Got no will oh to push you down
Got no hope brother for me and you
You`ve got the power, we`ve got nothing
Push us, kick us, oh we can be replaced
Oh here we are on sale
More will come in numbers, oh we're cheap to get
Hold me now brother
Cause I can't move my feet
As my soul leaves my aching body
I wander around for a better fate
But my surroundings are all the same
as I'm carrying on my dying hope
Dear time heal my soul
Poised by hatred of this world
Save me from their sins
As I embrace my fate and see the light of truth
Take me higher now brother
So I can see the sun
Here's to them who tasted life
Here's to them who have been loved
Here's to them who cherished moments
Here's to you who stray from the truth

Industrial Oblivion
07:39
|
|||
Smiling faces, ticking clocks
What is real and what is not?
System failure on the core
Restarting now all back on
All in line now
It’s time again to feed the starving beast
I said no-one breaks the line
Heads down, don't you deviate
So here we are crawling in the dark
Here we stand wounded and unsure
Dazzled, dizzy, and small
Tell me now weren't I the one?
My dearest one dance for me
As I'm winding up your music box
This piercing sound echoing the truth
Like a blade straight into our hearts
So here we are stripping naked,
An unravelling tale of who we were
Footprints on the sand of time
Of what we could have become
Mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me who's the fairiest of all
Dusty spotlights of just
Pointing out right from wrong
Orchestrated litany of lies
Pilling up until we choke again
In the midst of controversy
Oh, rain down and wash our bleeding vanities
This industrial agony
We’ve past the point of no return
My dearest one dance for me
As I'm winding up your music box
This piercing sound echoing the truth
Like a blade straight into our hearts
So here we are stripping naked
An unravelling tale of who we were
Footprints on the sand of time
Of what we could have become
