TIME TO WAKE.
Some will try to break the walls,
some will go blind, some will climb to go high.
Nothing’s gonna stop the fall,
god is so far, he’s not prepared to come back.
Please, tell me, is this gonna last?
Please, tell me, will it last forever?
They closed the door & now we have to pay to cross.
We chose the night, & now we have to pay to cross.
Time to wake.

You shine

YOU SHINE.
No more time in this life trying to be a hero.
No more “spirit-hunting” late at night anymore.
No more answers giving nothing but more questions.
No more need of chasing flashing lights anymore.
No more lies, no more shadows, no more night.
& no more time trying to cheat the devil.
If you shine, everything’s ok.

Before I hit the ground

BEFORE I HIT THE GROUND.
Always trying to find the key to escape & to find my place.
Always waiting for a sign to come, now I think it's late.
My soul was thrown far away beyond the storm,
but it's come back.
I'll keep on trying to keep your smile,
you know that we’ll be fine.
Rolling, drifting, trying to reach you,
to keep your smile, to feel good.
Will you free my soul before I hit the ground?
Will you take my pain away?
Come on, let’s take this wave.

Illusions

ILLUSIONS.
It’s ok if you’re feeling lucky,
but please, don’t put the blame on me.
I don’t need fear in my pocket,
save yourself, don’t lose your ticket.
There’s a face on the wall crying tears of blood,
saying: “feel pain for your god”.
So, now get on your knees,
close your eyes & believe nothing but illusions.

No more starting over
03:15
|
|
||
|
NO MORE STARTING OVER.
Here it comes the same old story
bringing back the smoke again, the glory’s gone away.
Now it’s time to light the candles
time to taste the night again, the madness & the rage.
Nothing out there, there’s no more starting over.
No point in walking back this way
to nowhere, no more starting over.

Over here
03:53
|
|

OVER HERE.
We made a contract, no need for climbing the hill,
no need for talking, you said: “no more sorries”.
After the sunset we’ll drink the night & I’ll see
if I change your mind like I did the last time.
Praying for a sign, waiting for the moment
when your eyes don’t cry, the worst we left behind.
I will climb the hill, saying: “babe I’m sorry”,
I’ll dispel your fears drying every tear.
So, why don’t you stay over here?

Slow down

SLOW DOWN.
Every single “no” that you shed,
everytime that you threw
every “yes” away,
didn’t bring answers for your pain.
Every single tear that you shed,
everytime that you threw
every smile away,
brought the pain to every single day,
sweeping your soul away down the mountain.
Slow down, it’s late, she’s gone away
climbing up the mountain.

Sunshine

SUNSHINE.
Bring the rain, time, bring it to stay,
I’m starting to find some stones in my way.
They’re trying to send me out of my mind,
the noises don’t stop, there’s no place to hide.
Stupid people shatter my patience,
rusty knives just have more grace.
Call the wind, please, bring me some clouds,
call the moon, please, bring back the sound,
because I lost my sunshine.
Come on back, sunshine, I’ll be waiting for the day.
They throw me ropes, try to give me their sun.
I don´t need their sun ‘cause I want my sunshine.
Because I lost my sunshine...

Waking
02:24
|
|

|
WAKING.
We’re chasing shadows in this long night.
The race is hard, the runners all blind.
Some say that we gotta believe
& keep thinking that we are so free.
Say: “die!” & follow the line.
Sell your soul before the sunrise.
There’s no escaping ‘til there’s no waking.
& the nightime shadows blind
our dreams with shields of lies & gold that shine.

Drive your enemies down
03:58
|
|

DRIVE YOUR ENEMIES DOWN.
Dig a hole so deep & dark if you wanna hide
jewels that you never found, bury them & say goodbye.
You won’t be the first, you won't be the last,
many fell before & many more will give their lives.
Please make a stand, stand your ground,
drive your enemies down.
Come on drive your enemies down.
Come back, everybody’s gone.
Dig a hole & get in there if you don't wanna fly.
Join some leaves & make a bed if you wanna say goodnight.
There's nothing to win & there's nothing to lose,
& there's no way to get back.
So dig your hole & feel sorry alone,
but there's no way to get back.
Come back, come back, drive your enemies down.

LATE.
Now it’s late, everything is lost,
empty, dead, alone you go.
Here comes the wind, it’s over.
Crying for what you didn’t find
will not give you peace of mind.
Here comes the cloud, it’s over.
It was your fate, everything is lost,
empty, dead, alone you go.
Here comes the rain, it’s over.
Crying loud for what you didn’t find
will not take you back in time.
Here comes the storm, it’s over.
Sometimes you climb that hill
to remember things you left behind.
The scars dance piercing your skin,
showing everything you left behind.
There’s no way to go back, no.
There’s no way back.
Here comes the end, it’s over.
