Lyrics

IN FRONT OF ME

In front of me, just for a while to ever see

A reaching voice beyond my mind.

Your words go down my spine

 

All my questions are asking why

 

We died tonight

Enclosed in the dark

Wandering ourselves

And tried to hide our lies again

Walking on wind as I recall the last time

 

I don’t mind you’re asking questions,

For all and more it’s yours to know

In my dream I bleed for you

Obliviated in your, reasons to be

 

The one to hurt and feel my lies

The one to hurt and feel my lies

 

Your face still colours my mind

Reality turned into the inside

Walking on the wind

As I recalled the last time

 

I don’t mind you’re asking questions,

For all and more it’s yours to know

In my dream I bleed for you

 

Obliviated in your, reasons to be

The one to hurt and feel my lies

The one to hurt and feel my lies

 

Cry out my words

 

I bleed for you

I bleed for you

PALE LIGHT

A pale light enters my room

A skinny wrist

A clammy hands the white sheets

Side with fear, I can’t move

I’m in agony

 

Only my eyes lives

And showed a sadness of a lost

A small world surrounded me

There’s nothing more

There’s nothing more left

 

Exhausted by wondering

Through the cruel days

Awakening sadness.

As I recall, and I recall

 

Outside this changing time provoke me

My big desire I can’t hear

this choking love

And I can’t hold our memories

Our memories, our memories

 

Exhausted by wondering

Through the cruel days

Awakening sadness, As I recall

As I recall

 

The sun closes her eyes

for the night

Strange shadows rise at my wall

They are trying to catch my light

 and dance together into this dark night

 

Into this dark night

 

Exhausted by wondering

Through the cruel days

Awakening sadness

As I recall

As I recall

 

Exhausted by wondering

Through the cruel days

Awakening sadness, As I recall

As I recall

WHISPER

It doesn’t matter

How hard I try

Nothing is has changed

After this long, long time

 

When the angel closed her eyes

She spreads her wings

She tried to comfort you

As she spreads her wings

 

The truth will find its way

And all your twisted lies

Beat up against the wind

As the angel closed her eyes

 

I hope you feel the same

The force is for us all

Give you all the trust

Close your eyes and let it go

 

So lift me up

And fly up on a dream

You’ve recognised it all

but it’s not what it seems

The truth will find its way

And all your twisted lies

Beat up against the wind

 

As the angel closed her eyes

 

Her eyes

 

I’m whispering your words

Too close this chapters end

I’m frozen inside

And lost in your different worlds

 

When the angel closed her eyes

and spreads her wings

She tried to comfort you

As she spreads her wings

The truth will find its way

And all your twisted lies

Beat up against the wind

As the angel closed her eyes

Her eyes, Her eyes

 

So lift me up

And fly up on a dream

You’ve recognised it all

but it’s not what it seems

The truth will find its way

And all your twisted lies

Beat up against the wind

As the angel closed her eyes

RESTLESS

I'm feeling restless tonight

Is it a dream or our goodbye

The snake bites my spine

 

I'm between the devil and the deep awake­ning

 

Your hand on my mouth

I choke in the words

and nothing comes out

I’m into deep

Still too connected

The warmth unprotected

I´m into… I´m into deep

 

I know what I´m feeling but

I can´t stop thinking

The poison of a jealous mind

Where lust swallow trust

I rather live the lie then be lost in the truth.

At least you had a choice but you took, you took mine too

 

I see the fear in your eyes

I want to get closer

 I see the fear in your eyes.

 

I can't reach you

I can’t reach you

I can´t

 

Every touch feels different

every word I can't believe

every touch feels different

We’re both locked up in our grief.

 

Please don't ask me how I feel

You don't want to hear

The doubts I'm already in

 

Your hand on my mouth

I choke in the words

and nothing comes out

I’m into deep

Still too connected

The warmth unprotected

I´m into… I´m into deep

 

I'm into deep

I’m into deep

I´m into, I´m into deep

TOUCH IN THE DARK

See the reach of a child in you

From a touch in the dark

among the shades of blue

From a touch in the dark

 

A hand a name a queen in truth

A balanced word, in a new song

No sound from this place belong

among the shades of blue

 

See the reach of a child in you

From a touch in the dark

among the shades of blue

From a touch in the dark

 

And through the fields of flow

And meaningless sentence

From a touch in the touch

 

For all what happened since

in this all meaningless ways

 

A hand a name a queen in truth

From a touch in the dark

among the shades of blue

From a touch in the dark

 

A touch in the dark

 

A hand a name a queen in truth

From a touch in the dark

among the shades of blue

From a touch in the dark

 

A touch in the dark

A touch in the dark

TOWER

She has met the stranger inside

Looking in the mirror

She saw the face behind

And how can she forget

When it’s staring in her face

She can’t remember where it went wrong.

 

Starring in the mirror

It’s the face on the wall

Screaming for this questions

But she already knew it all

 

The silence marks the time

What’s happening

 

Don’t know

And walked away

And turned away

 

A silence for the storm

I lost your face in the crowd

I thought that’s what I wanted

But the fear keeps me searching

 

She apologized for her abuse

She believes her body is only for use

Looked up in a tower

Broken glass inside

She’s pressing her lips on the wall

She screams out

 

But no one wants to hear

But no one wants to hear

 

She’s a stranger to herself

DREAM

Dream the dream

You always do

Catch me if I fall

We´ve lost the old game

We´d played before

 

Catch me if I fall

I’m losing hold

I’ve lost the old game

We’ve played before

 

I close my eyes

And try to remember

the panic in yours

 

Strange what time can do

It gives and takes our precious memories

Melting with all my senses

Melting here with you

 

Catch me if I fall

I’m losing hold

I’ve lost the old game

We’ve played before

 

I try to touch the moon

But I fall back

Reality kills

 

Dream the dream

you always do

Dream the dream

you always do

 

The dream has just began

You’ll always be a part

Of a whisper of the wind

Melting with all my senses

Melting here with you

 

Catch me if I fall

I’m losing hold

I’ve lost the old game

We’ve played before

Reproach the scarves

We’d kept in secrets

For all those years

 

Dream the dream

you always do

CHILD

Like a long day as in life

Never so strong is the mercy inside

I feel my eyes turn into skies

Sliding slowly melting in your eyes

 

You cover up the cruelty

They built so carefully for all those years

You cover up the cruelty

They built so carefully for all those years

Spit on Mother Nature

When you yearn and cry out her name

And cry out her name

 

Cry little child our bodies

Drown our sorrow tomorrow

How painful it is to watch you vanish

Don’t say you’re sorry cause you can’t fill this hole

You cover up the cruelty

They built so carefully for all those years

You cover up the cruelty

They built so carefully for all those years

Spit on Mother Nature

When you yearn and cry out her name

And cry out her name

 

How lonely is the darkness of the night

Say goodbye to a lost friend

Desperately seeking to remain

Fall into grief that finally turned to silence

When silence turned into madness

And endless rage against all odds

 

And you spit on Mother Nature

When you yearn and cry out for her name

 

The sour taste of sorrow

GARDEN

I walk through the garden

Touching rain like sparkling diamonds

Walking next to you

In the garden of innocence

 

Standing alone in the circle of insanity

The voices circle in your head

The next step leads you to the darkness

 

Oh please let me forget

 

Once there was a child in the garden

Her innocent so pure,

Her ominous fragile soul 

they are mine to keep

 

Standing alone in the circle of insanity

 

The voices circle in your head

The next step leads you to the darkness

 

Oh please let me forget

 

Protect your body against insanity

You will think it will not come

But before you know, you wish it wasn’t true

 

Protect your body against insanity

You will think it will not come

But before you know, you wish it wasn’t true

 

They circle in your head

The shadows are hiding

The shadows are hiding

SHADOWS

She came into your live

Like a shadow of the doubt

She want to explore your

Shadow of the doubt

 

The shadow fall

And the silence returns

You feel the forest breath

And she gives the breath of live

 

As she falls, into your arms

As she falls, she’s falling into

Your dreams tonight

 

 

She stands before me

Her white dress on the ground

I tasted my wanting

As she wounded my soul

As she falls into your arms

As she falls she’s falling

Into your dreams tonight

 

As she falls, as she falls
