Blue Devils
02:38
|
|||
Don’t tell me about tomorrow
Don’t tell me about new day
I can’t control my eager thoughts
I have never been so calm
Dusty rains wash down my eyes
My eyes are bleeding sores
Blue devils
Can you hear a blessing
From a cold dry stone
Can you feel the frozen breeze?
In a desolated dome
I have my mind been hanging
Hanging from the past
Blue devils
It is time for us to try
Finding a way to talk
It is time for us to be quite
There is nowhere to resort
Don’t tell me about tomorrow
Don’t tell me about new day
I can’t control my eager thoughts
I have never been so calm
I keep the fire burning
Burning down my soul
Blue devils

They Live Under Streets
03:50
|
|||
It’s believed they live
under streets that every day we walk on
in the eye of the storm
in a black hole
On further stars where no human eye can see
It’s believed they forgive us all
for what we haven’t done before
we have changed the main street names
we have forgotten their tongue
We can’t break this unwritten law, we keep on living
I light a fire for you; I light a fire for them all
This is dedicated to you is dedicated to them all
If only I could thank all of them for what they’ve done before
I am so electrified; I wasn’t able to do so
It’s believed they live
under streets that every day we walk on
in the eye of the storm
in a black hole

She's a Dancer
04:46
|
|||
Poor light of evening when the sun is going down
Since there is dark she is going to get out
Wearing a white dress
She doesn’t need much to
Born blind she has never seen her mother’s face
She has to guess the sight of anything perceived
Walking barefoot
She needs some more to feel
She is a dancer
Letting hair down
Fascinating footsteps
Attract them all around
She’s a dancer
Flitting like a bird
Whirling in fury
To get away from harm
Once was in a feast day and music played loud
Boys and girls in floral clothes looked proud
Wishing to find their mates
And make their own life
She appears from nowhere and starts to play her game
Jumping up down during her favorite air
All have been looking at her
Nobody could compare to
Since her crazy dance seems to have no end
The so called brides have been getting mad
They kick her out of party
But how could you forget her?
She rises to heavens on a bright cloud
Down the people have their eyes stuck on
The stars become a ballet
A wedding dress around her

Coming Back
04:55
|
|||
We don’t know, may nobody can,
When this war will have an end, why so?
Still I don’t know, I can’t even guess
Against whom we seek revenge and what for
Still I don’t know why I am trying hard
And for whom and why, I wonder
All our friends already gone
Nobody but enemies remain to command and reign
Still I can’t perceive what we fear
Fear has a face or it is unreal
Still I don’t know why I am trying hard
And for whom and why, I wonder
Where now there are ruins
Once was a crowded town
You may doubt us or you may believe
We have been here and we’ve lived for a long time
We don’t know, may nobody can,
When this war will have an end, why so?
Still we don’t know why we are coming back
And for whom and why, I wonder

Getting Vertigo
04:00
|
|||
Strike an airplane
Sink a boat
Tear down a building
Blow up the Hall
Burn the forest
Contaminate the coast
Devastate highways
Black out the town
Beware of twins
Standing by the cliffs
Revenge or justice
Both are relentless
Silent - Violent
Drink the poison
Breathe in the smoke
Execute innocents
Sacrifice a goat
Having betrayed
Your own mate
Disappoint your relatives
Having been ingrate
Beware of soldier
Stained with blood
Revenge or justice
Both are relentless
Noise and fusion
Pain and pleasure
Passion and anger
Signifying danger
I regret to tell you
We are thrown off
We are getting vertigo
Through an endless cloud

In the Nightfall
02:59
|
|||
What do you call these birds keeping on flying during a rainfall?
In the nightfall children recite lyrics
Carrying out plays in the hall
In the nightfall these children recite lyrics
Carrying out plays
In the morning they are encaged and trapped
A poisonous river flows in veins
Cracking up on stage
Cracking up on stage
All the night they have been sitting up late
Being afraid
What do you call these birds keeping on flying during a rainfall?
Can’t stand the pain
Failed to explain the manner of dealing with fears
Whatever you give is less than they need
Whatever
A ticking time bomb and nobody knows
When it is time to explode?
A ticking time bomb and nobody knows
How to disarm it at all?
Helping each other
Stay away! Don’t bother
As long as they breathe they live
They will remain
They will remain
They will remain in the air

Follow the Liar
02:27
|
|||
This place is like a war front
We are all entirely confused
These days are so crucial
No Messiah will come down
We are certain to fail when
We turn a blind eye to the lie
We follow the liar
We follow the liar
We do believe the leader telling
Exactly what we would like
We blame the prophet spelling
Which of all will come true?
We are certain to fail when
We turn a blind eye to the lie
We follow the liar
We follow the liar
Here come the loonies. Can’t you
See the monsters that hide
Here come the killers, oh demon
What else we do have to deal
We are certain to fail when
We turn a blind eye to the lie
We follow the liar
We follow the liar

Desperate Ghost
03:48
|
|||
I am frightened of the ones who love to hate and hate to love
But even more I am terrified of those who are getting numb
They have no guts to face the truth
They keep on keeping on staying
Unfair and veiled
Unfair and veiled
I am sick of those who are beating birds leaving from their nest
But even more I am scared of those who quietly do consent
Dangerous vultures swoop and snatch
A harmless innocent dove
They hit and run
They hit and run
I am cautious of the ones who attract so as to get you trapped
But even more I really stand back of those remaining calm
Behind of charm the sirens call
Dead sailor lying on the coast
Like a desperate ghost
Desperate ghost
I am ashamed for hideous crimes that ever have been done
Poor people have been kicked and punched
Poor mothers dressed in black
Derailed souls and fatal blows
History is painted in blood
In the desperate land
Desperate land

Sisyphus, the poor star
04:41
|
|||
We sleep late and wake up early
But at least we sleep and wake up
We build cities, monstrosities
Stone by stone
Day by day
You, Sisyphus, are the leader
We build and destroy
We should no longer be involved in wars
You, Sisyphus, our leader
You pose a threat to our calm
We don’t respect our calm
Running after a rolling stone
Day by day, year by year
You, Sisyphus, always lose but at least you try
And you try, and you try again
Say it! Again
We have met before
We have played together
You, Sisyphus, were the leader
You, Sisyphus, the poor star
Can you really talk with your mouth closed?
And what’s for
Do you really pray with all your heart?
And what’s for
Be awake
Sleep late and wake up early
But at least we sleep and wake up

Here is the River
05:11
|
|||
Here is the river, there is the shore
I am crossing the waters carrying a metaphor
This may be a way or this may be not
My heart still is playing an acting role
I live in a body of pain from which I have to be released
I give you joy, I give you hope
This may end to the core of love
Eyes are playing, I remain in the room
And staring at the fields of light in the desert of the night
I live in a body of pain from which I have to be released
Looking to find you on the seventh floor
Our world divided into pieces of stone
Keep on trying to collect them one by one
This was mine this was yours
This was nice and this was false
It’s a long way if you want to get to Rome
Looking to find you on the seventh floor
I am in the river and going to the springs
But I still stay dry under my skin
Take care of your wishes scattered to the wind
Man, don’t be screaming on the edge of the cliff
We are living in the past made of words
Looking to find you on the seventh floor
