Don't say a word
Don't shout that it was not your fault
silence will be louder than bombs
thundering under distant skies On the horizon I see signals of a war
No chance for love
we're on our knees
No you won't win my feelings with your pot of gold
your empty soul
is all I see
Don't say a word
Don't shout that it was not your fault
silence will be louder than bombs
thundering under distant skies Daydream is over, we lost clarity of thoughts
crossed the threshold
of sanity
Better not ask me to give it a second go
what scares us most
will set us free
Don't say a word
Don't shout that it was not your fault
silence will be louder than bombs
thundering under distant skies Just time to take a bow and let the curtains close
Let's start to draw
a brand new scene
We had it all but then it all went up in smoke
The worst of blows
you dealt on me
Don't say a word
don't shout that it was not your fault
silence will be louder than bombs
thundering under distant skies

To Here and Now

Raise a glass and toast with me
Remember the way we used to be
raise a glass and toast as we
remember, remember
So many folks tend to flock
Here in the same tired old spots
Talking the same tired old talks
to each his own, after all
heard them say these are days of waste and excess
heard them say nowadays all is governed by cash
heard them sigh that time is running too fast
heard them say
Heard them say these are days for vengeance and wrath
Heard them say human race walks the road of regress
heard them sigh we’re bound to rebuild all from scratch
Raise a glass and toast with me
Remember the way we used to be
raise a glass and toast as we
remember, remember
Heard them say these are days of waste and excess
that there’s still a lot to learn from the past
that those were the best times that one could have had
then saw their hard striving to make them come back
while some of them stayed hardcore
Others just went with the flow
let events take their own course
let people play different chords
heard them say these are days of blood, tears and sweat
heard them say that there were days they will never forget
heard them wonder what happened to all that we had?
Heard them say
heard them say these are days of waste and excess
heard them say that they could do way better than that
heard them sigh we're bound to rebuild all from scratch
heard them say
Raise a glass and toast with me
Remember the way we used to be
raise a glass and toast as we
remember

A Thousand Deaths
04:00
|
|||
You pretend not to depend
on worn out habits you condemn
you are fouling your own nest
your head buried in the sand
where is your shame?
I forgive but don’t forget
Know a flame has to be fed
Fear the farewells less and less
As I came to my wits end
I’m beyond blame
And the news will impress you
Without any sort of regret
I just want what I’m due and no ruse will work
Yes no blues will affect me
nor loosen the knot of your pain
I’ll just get what I’m due and your blues won’t work
see, two wrongs don’t make a right
So don’t bark if you can’t bite
going down without a fight
cowards die a thousand times
before their death, he said
Wave goodbye to all your fiends
Imaginary enemies
Goodbye days of lunacy
When the cure is the disease
It’s a no win
with no further digression
Without any sort of regret
I just want what I’m due, and no ruse will work
Yes no blues will affect me
nor loosen the knot of your pain
I’ll just get what I’m due and your blues won’t work
Once for all
For all I know
This is how the story goes
This is where the road will fork
As the calm follows the storm
Once for all
For all I know
This is how the story goes
Once for all
for all I know
This is where the road will fork
Once for all
for all I know
This is how the story goes
This is where the road will fork
As the calm follows the storm
As the calm follows the storm
With no further digression
Without any sort of regret
I just want what I’m due, and no ruse will work
Yes no blues will affect me
nor loosen the knot of your pain
I’ll just get what I’m due and your blues won’t work

You walk around parading your trophies
keeping your plans shrouded in secrecy
always delivering the winner's speech
certain to go down, down in history
your words enter like razors in our ears
your deeds are daggers stabbed into our fears
thick rain will pour over your rotten seeds
when the harvest comes you sow what you reap
we are shouting Fearless, you can’t bring us down
we are dreaming fearless, you won’t bring us down
your words enter like razors in our ears
your deeds are daggers stabbed into our fears
thick rain will pour over your rotten seeds
when the harvest comes you sow what you reap
we’re shouting fearless, Yes, we're holding tight
been raised and trained to keep eyes open wide
black rain will pour over your barren seeds
when the harvest comes you sow what you reap
we are shouting fearless, you can’t bring us down
we are dreaming fearless, you won’t bring us -
No, you won’t! Bring us down, No you won’t! Bring us down

Ancient forces are awakening
suddenly the earth’s crust quakes
nature slowly starts to take its toll
can’t you see the raging flood
sweeps away the flowers buds
blows away the meaning of it all
though we thought that we were strong
suddenly the night gets long
seems that it will never find the day
but now please don’t get me wrong
find what’s hidden in this song
right here in the twisting of my tongue
time’s running short
when a lifetime is all that we got
can’t you see the afterglow of sunset giving place to dusky twilight while the shadows start to follow you?
can’t you feel the movements of the planets in the nighttime while your dreaming seems to hear them softly calling you?
can’t you hear the music growing louder in the morning while you try to catch a glimpse of what’s surrounding you?
would you say that everything is just the same as it was when the only color that we could discern was blue?
though we thought that we were strong
suddenly the night gets long
seems that it will never find the day
but now please don’t get me wrong
find what’s hidden in this song
right here in the twisting of my tongue
songs will be sung
Sun is high but the morning’s still young

Wanderers
true to our roots
take our own chances
have our own rules
Strong we stand
and our strength improves
cause we’re like rubber
while you’re like glue
we’re like rubber you’re like glue
we’re like rubber you’re like glue
strong we stand, our strength improves
we’re like rubber you’re like glue
Mavericks
whom you can turn to
we’re forward looking
our glass’ half full
Strong we stand
and our strength improves
though few we’re louder
we’re multitudes
we’re like rubber you’re like glue
we’re like rubber you’re like glue
strong we stand, our strength improves
we’re like rubber you’re like glue
we easily do what you won’t ever dare
(we’re like rubber, you’re like glue, strong we stand our strength improves)

Frailest China
03:42
|
|||
The worm of doubt
devours us from inside out
without a single sound
crawls into our veins
and then grounds us down
things are seldom what they seem
And hardly ever suit our schemes
You wonder why we were left behind?
now who’s to ease an uncomfortable mind?
Put our mind at rest
Find a way to mend all this mess
Like the frailest china
it has to be handled with care
Put our mind at rest
As we’re left to guess what comes next
Aren’t you intrigued
To see how life feels after death?
They say they’re sure
you’ve seen one loser
you’ve seen them all
Say we should know
Who hit the bottom
Then climbs back up
But tainted thoughts are likely to win
And soon reshape our reveries
We’re torn between hesitance and pride
who’ll set at ease our uncomfortable minds?
Put our mind at rest
Find a way to mend all this mess
Like the frailest china
it has to be handled with care
Put our mind at rest
As we’re left to guess what comes next
Aren’t you afraid to let the chance slip through the net?
Let's set our mind at ease
Mend all this mess
Enjoy the sound of peace
Put our mind at rest
Let's try with all our means
Enjoy simplicity
Mend all this mess
Enjoy the sound of peace
Let's try with all our means
Mend all this mess
Handle with care

The Enemies Within
03:22
|
|||
Dexterous snipers set their sights on me
Exerting an extraordinary appeal
Driven by such highly determined wills
Displaying staggering deception skills
And you can tell ‘em by the grin they wear
Eager to bite when you’re unaware
Please come and meet the enemies within
Those cunning tricksters grew in my esteem
For their quite enviable ability
to talk you straight into a clever fib
To lure you with reliability
I try to hold out
But my hands are bare
easy to fall
In their artful snare
a taste of evil on a human scale
Are we entitled to become rivals?
Can we all vie in loyalty?
will we fulfill a need that’s primal?
will it define our diversity?
Giddy scenarios of disbelief
Giving me unexpected twists and thrills
they work their way into my pondering
beyond imagination’s boundaries
they move like hounds chasing the hare
hiding their paws, showing scars we share
Go forth and meet the enemies within
Are we entitled to become rivals?
Can we all vie in loyalty?
will we fulfill a need that’s primal?
I wanna go for top quality
Come out of your broken shell
Go forth and meet the enemies within
Will we fulfill a need that is primal?
Can we all vie in loyalty?
Will we fulfill a need that is primal
Will it define our diversity?

Let One Be a Crowd
03:35
|
|||
Harken to the chimes
On this crystal spring
Hear their soothing tinkles
When blown by the wind
As your lyrics mingle
With their gentle swing
They’ll unveil the grace
In simple things
You are the music, make the music last
Rhythm’s within you
Let your smooth rhymes spread
Could you bear the noise
Of a silenced voice?
The weight of no sound
Bang a gong
And let one be a crowd
Harken to the pipes
Floating on the breeze
Hear their tuneful notes
Hear them fill the spheres
You are the music
Make the music last
Rhythm’s within you
Let your smooth rhymes spread
Could you bear the noise
Of a silenced voice?
The weight of no sound
Bang a gong
And let one be a crowd

Nighthawk
02:47
|
|||
I’m a nighthawk,
but by day I lie low
offer me love
a dish fit for the gods
A restless hunt,
for a pliable prey
follow me now,
let’s seize the day
Come and reach me
Deaf to useless preachings
I will make room for bliss and lead you
with the tenderest truths I’ll feed you
And now you’re here
in front of me
speak of the devil
and he’s sure to appear
Ready to sit
back on our thrones
as the darkest hour
is that before dawn
Chorus:
Come and reach me
Deaf to useless preachings
I will make room for bliss and lead you
with the tenderest truths I’ll feed you
