Hero And A Crucifix
05:19
|
|
||
|
Through broken windows
and broken dreams
through untold stories
and mighty kings
You grown up in sunlight
woke up in fear
Tried to find a hero
and a crucifix
These shady buildings
these ruins of the past
respectively 've been put there
a wicked match
Now you're one breath shorter
in a consultation speech
A life full of promises
has brought you to your knees
Tried to find a hero
and a crucifix
A broken faith becomes
a useless dream
one day of silence
is a thousand screams
This partial notion defeats
this life of real
consequent to logic
feelings become guilt
Love, love, love
is the answer to seek
while being drowned
in the deepest sea
Rise again
Rise again
Rise again
From the bottom
Rise again
Rise again
Rise again
From the bottom
And then one morning
as if it was meant to be
idols were taken down
and mighty kings
Now you're happy as ever
and somehow sad inside
You didn't find a hero
instead you found
your peace.

Moonlit Sea

Ride the night
ride these shadows
take the highway
to where your heart belongs
Breathe out
breathe the foul air
shift your gear to another speed
that inspires you
It's a ghost
it's a vision
it is something eery
this dark universe
Breathe in, breathe
the cool air
Lift your eyes and see
far in the deep end
Lay down
by the sea
under the moonlit plains
of a pale blue dream
Oh my heart
my beating heart
rest now
just feel the breeze inside
your worried soul
Don't be afraid to touch
another dying shining star
Lay down
by the sea
under the moonlit souls
of the deepest deep
Lay down
by the sea
under the moonlit plains
of a pale blue dream
Lay down
by the sea
under the moonlit souls
of the deepest deep
Sleep off
and let it be
under the moonlit plains
of a pale blue dream.

Mother
04:07

Mother,
it's me, your son
It's your baby
and only child
Can you recognise me?
Or am I just a shade?
Can you understand how I'm feeling?
'cos we share
the same soul, somehow...
You may tell it by the way
I look you in the eyes.
Time may be an angel
or a demon who claims us all
All these fights
and worries in your life
had taken a heavy toll
And life can bend our prowess
sometimes can taint our light
Now your mind is broken
and your spirit is long gone
Falling apart by your delusions
just a ghost
in some other space and time
and it hurts me
hurts me deep down inside
this one way
one way road
you're on.
Is it decent for a person
to just be until he is no more?
But together we will face it
all along
Mother
don't worry now
I will stay by your side
And as much as I don't want to
you'll fade away
and disappear...

Over The Top
02:58
|
|

|
Going over the top with you
and I think I'm going insane
Every time you wanna know
about the way I'm playing this game
It's not so hard-hard just
to pretend you're feeling fine
Let your worries fly away today.
Yeah.
You're so tight
and I can't help
of being distant too
Every time I reach for you
you're only making me blue
It's always "No-no-no"
and I don't know
what else to do
Let your worries fly away
and give me all your love
Give me all your love
Please please
give your self a chance
to live this too
Going over the top
is not the way lovers do
Put on your sexy dress
and make a man out of me
Let your worries fly away
and give me all your love
Let me hold you in my arms
Let's do this right!

Perfect Way
05:31
|
|

|
Something always flashes
in your face
You got million leashes
on your grace
Holding on, rambling on
you just got to be unknown
You got silver smile
on your dry lips
It's perfect day
to bring yourself down
It's this perfect sin
to rape your self again
It's this perfect way...
Again.
Hollowed in a swamp
behind bars
You fought million fights
in your soul
It's this perfect way
to walk around in-
-in this stupid tale
of living faster
It's this perfect way...
Again.
It's this perfect way
to walk around in-
-in this stupid tale
of living faster
It's this perfect way...
Again.
