Resilience
04:04

I am three maybe four sometimes five different men
Looking for the way I am
I can cheat I can steal I can love I can be sweet
Leave me now I won't retreat
'Cause my path is pretty shown
Lads like me end up alone
Riding dragons with the lonely fiends they know
Heading forward to their show with resilience
May one life be pretty short
But there's no way to ask for more
We have time for just one goal
When I walk around the streets I talk to everyone I meet
Listen carefully and you'll see
Some are seeking for a dream
Some are poor and some are mean
Always chasing money or success
Like tawdry king of dope or religion
I spend my life
on a vacancy in a place where sun don't shine
And I don't mind
To be honest I just hate to waste my time
And I was never out of luck or resilience
Take a deep breathe
And release yourself from the joke of reality
And realize that
Freedom works out bad when it's way too free
It needs boundaries
And you ingenuity so to see
That also love needs resilience
I spend my life
on a vacancy in a place where sun don't shine
And I don't mind
To be honest I just hate to waste my time
And I was never out of luck or resilience

All these moments chasing rainbows down the streets
Casting shadows on the way they’re meant to be
Preaching sentences of love fading after dark
Flowers growing in the dirt
Deep their roots and they grow higher above the earth
What’s this light? Is this sunset or a dawn
And what’s the song I’m singing?
Mother thank you for my birth
But I was not always glad to dwell upon this world
Was this light? Is it sunset or it’s dawn
And what’s the song I’m singing?
All these moments chasing rainbows down the streets
Casting shadows on the way they’re meant to be
Preaching sentences of love fading after dark

The Charade
03:55
|
|||
|
Everyone has wonder
Everyone has fails
And issues to be solved when it comes to easy the pain
And leads you must follow
And doubts that must be faced
To realize which sort of hands is a man suppose to shake
It grows since the beginnings
For the entire human race
The great challenge to find out the purpose of its fate
But none can tell you
Or solve your big charade
If the question for a man it is
How he should walk his trail
the first advice that comes through
is “boy just be yourself” But I guess they never even cared about who’ll clean up this mess
It’s trust in the wind
to follow up your dreams
‘cause no way in this marvelous world you’re gonna grow some wings
from the moment that you spin the wheel
and let the flow begin
this image of your real self
you’re not supposed to see
there’s no way to control or know
if it’s cheerful or it’s grim
And once that you’ve been broken
or torn down in the soul
the pieces falling to the ground
and the grievance at your door
the first line they will drop you
is “boy just be yourself” just like you are now pretending
or you could be someone else
It’s trust in the wind
to follow up your dreams
no way in this marvelous world you’re gonna grow some wings
from the moment that you spin the wheel
and let the flow begin
this image of the real yourself
you’re not supposed to see
there’s no way to control or know
if it’s cheerful or it’s grim

Tired and Mild

Tired and mild
Time ain't by your side
And you lay down in your sorrow
With your kindness in the last dawn of your life
When we had time
I'm ashamed to admit that not all of the words that I told you were kind
But I know that you don't mind
And I'm glad we shared a path sweet love of mine
So is it true? When the lights go down
All that's to be found is one loved hand
Holding on with you
Before you fade to memory

Lullaby
04:02
|
|||
|
Dream dream about a magic stream
The leaves are trembling and the wind runs free
The birds are whistling secrets to the trees
Sleep sleep may your dreams be sweet
The owl sings so gentle waving out of reach
Nothing is nearly as heavy as it seems

Song for the Winter
03:08
|
|||
|
Let me whisper to your ear this name of yours and have no fear
Winter comes the eyes are closed and still the wind icy blows
Suddenly I see wings spreading like colors reaching to the sky
And I am here just wondering why
We shall see the sunrise once the moonlight has cleared the pass
And my blue will melt to colors
You can use them at your will
And I wish I had more to say to you but the seasons jump the gun
If you give your heart a name
you might mke it a better friend
hold on tight to what feels right
like all the times you craved the light
because the darkness blinded your green eyes
We’ll return up to the mountains once the plain sky has turned to gray
And the leaves that now are dying will in springtime thrive again
And I wish I had more to say to you but the time of life took the lead

The Fear
02:43
|
|||
|
I’m so scared of dying that I gave up a living
It’s all about breathing and steering clear of the dark
But the end of our days ain’t come out of the blue
Cause day after day death keeps walking with you
I lean over a railing with a bottle of wine
And I wonder if falling ain’t just crossing a line
Gentle waves a melancholic wing in my soul
The wind is harassing the hills and I feel like soil
What I fear the most is the fear of the loss
The hit following the toss and what’s coming across
Fine, fine, I can’t wait in a line
But I was raised by the devil and this sadness of mine
Time is a father who always run to hide
Nature is a cruel mother leaving children behind
Then I keenly feel absence like a cutting void
Making fun of the resonance like a bird through the pines
And what I fear the most is the fear of the loss
The hit following the toss and what’s coming across
Fine, fine, I can’t stand in a line
But I was raised by the devil and this sadness of mine
To be one with myself I might need to be two
and I must give up thinking that the answer is you

The King and the Devil
04:59
|
|||
|
The king got in the middle between God and the Devil
No one was left in the court guarding the yard
While the important decisions were taken by sorcerers warned by the inscrutable fire
The king felt that something had gone to his head
And has no intention to leave
He set sails and left, the hold full of diamonds
And liquors and precious wine he had set aside
But all the gifts that a donor can bring won’t make up for the guilt he had steeping inside
The secrets we hid in the cellar will find their way out and will come back to light
They can sneak into everyone’s dream
Including the ones that belong to who’s in charge for…
Giving orders
Giving orders
Giving orders
Dance!
Alone he did walk in the night through a mire, till he came across a wild wine company
The dancing and drinking was warming the guts but not washing away what he had pinned on himself
So obsessed by the fury of the white-logic hour
He longed for the storm that was coming by shouting out loud:
I am mortal
I am mortal
I am mortal
He was seen in a ditch with some colourful dreams and no worries of not being dry
Damnation can wait when the sovereign’s aim’s to be flattered
Lonely is the night, cold is the dark
Lonesome am I, facing the dawn

A Walz for the Wicked
04:32
|
|||
|
I took a rest on a winter chair
Chased by the ones that I once left behind
Stuck in resignation with most of those things the wine carries aside
I thought I found what love really means
It was in every sight
In any single breath
In the sparkle that lead us to turn on the light and then wonder
The thought has been lost, but it can just be found
By spinning the wheel and then turning around
In waves and waves of sadness, madness, loneliness saved for the ride
Like the spare seeds of hope that we laid
And when buried can thrive
Blurry in haze I keep surfing my wave
And I think it is you that I’ll see on the shore
Clinging to lingering dreams we had lost like the laughter
I’m dragged through the night till a dawn of sin
Pierced by the fierceness unleashed by their gaze
Light brings consolation
Caressing my eyes makes me feel I’m alive
Late came the warning
Lying was I on the floor
In hell it’s always morning
And angels they crawl on the floor
