HANDFUL OF SAND (RIGHT OR WRONG)
Damnation, Salvation
What do we deserve?
Like screaming or Believing
without reserve
hear the beat of heart petrified
hear the sound of a voice (that’s) asking for more, forevermore
There’s more to life than all this pain
Let wind blow this woe away
As a warm handful of sand fills my eyes
Everytime I feel like crying
As a sword that slips into my old scars
Everytime I feel like dying again
Wrong or right, one more fight
Inside my mind
hear the scream of a broken heart
when the silence of memories remain
There’s more to life than all this shame
Can anyone hear my prayer?
As a warm handful of sand fills my eyes
Everytime I feel like crying
As a sword that slips into my old scars
Everytime I feel like dying again
No escaping from all the sorrow
No escaping from myself again
No man raises after the fall
No one cares about your soul
No one cares at all
No escaping from my tomorrow
No escaping from myself again
New man rises after the fall
Someone cares about your words
Someone cares about you
As a warm handful of sand fills my eyes
Everytime I feel like crying
As a sword that slips into my old scars
Everytime I feel like dying again
As a war exploding deep in my mind
Everytime I feel like crying
As a sun still unable to shine bright
Everytime I fell like dying alone
BORN ON COLD ASH
Into the pit of madness I search
For a perfect feeling of chaos
Moving my restless dreams into hate
Lesions all over your body
Blinded in front of a wide overhang
Neverending (I) fell into the void
Tools of betrayal random deceptions
Emotion dies under your eyes
Born! Share all my hell,
On! Cry on this ash
Cold!
Ash! The execution has begun
Born! Scrape love and pain
On! From my weak veins
Cold!
Ash! I am the fire you love to hate
Threading the gallery of misery and lies
Some things just can be explained
Trying to shelter my hopes to realize
I still run into the grey
Born! Share all my hell,
On! Cry on this ash
Cold!
Ash! The execution has begun
Born! Scrape love and pain
On! From my weak veins
Cold!
Ash! I am the fire you love to hate
Born! Join me in my war
On! Over this wall
Cold!
Ash! We leave this valley of despair
Born! No lights are on
On! I won’t be reborn
Cold!
Ash! A journey to the unpromised land
ELEGY OF LUST
Eradicated the passion
Drowning in streams of lust
Speak my same words
Whispering notes without sound
The water of your river
Is still dry and black
Witness of deceit
My elegy for love you’ll never read
We feel the chemicals burn
It change the color of our sight
No control we ask for more
Staying down under with no lights
Drag me back you know the reason
Separated from the soul
On the night when we found treasons
Shedding love denied
Raise the level I’m waiting
Bleeding hearts
Concealing (the) reality
We won’t remember we won’t be the same
Beyond the lust there’s nothing to regret…no more lies
This final warning
Held for a wire
carnal delight now is running out
We tried to reach the highest point
What we found was a cold ground
We hate the way we look ourselves
Time is not with us
A cancer slowly is taking place
It’s feeding hatred, pain and war
Sinking roots of idleness
In silence we fall
Raise the level I’m waiting
Bleeding hearts
Concealing the reality
We won’t remember we won’t be the same
Beyond the lust there’s nothing to regret…no more lies
This final warning
Held for a wire
carnal delight now is running out
TO THE END
Things went suddenly changing
he had to let it come let it go, he tried
all ways to hold back the wind, to divert creeks and streams.
Miles and miles between
two points of view can put into doubt any truth
few had become the things worth
fighting for, yet still
there were some.
He’d seen her waiting, the eyes of dawn
He’d seen her naked, the eyes of love
a bunch of oddities he’d done, between them
he’d sworn to stand beside her,
So this man, Says alright, (I) understand,
holds on tight to the end.
no matter what (it) comes
no matter what it takes
when she will turn around
he’ll be there
They cross their paths but eyes
never meet through days weeks and months all the same
How he’d like to force in a change, if just – he knew how
But he knows by now:
if you see leaves of autumn fall cov’ring the buds
of the spring you’ve held in your heart
for so long, it’s just an illusion (you see)
He’d seen her smiling, the eyes of joy
He’d seen her bleeding, the eyes of a child
a bunch of oddities he’d done, between them
he’d sworn to stand beside her,
So this man, Says alright, (I) understand,
holds on tight to the end.
no matter what (it) comes
no matter what it takes
when she’ll turn around
he’ll be there
For every man who walks the silent streets,
with wild wind shaking him,
perhaps a woman secretly awaits him,
though she’d said goodbye.
Make them meet, make’em meet, make’em meet, make’em meet.
Knot the threads again.
Make them meet, make’em meet, make’em meet, make’em meet.
This prayer flies on the wind
Make them meet, make’em meet, make’em meet, make’em meet.
Knot the threads again.
Make them meet, make’em meet, make’em meet, make’em meet.
To the end
WINGS OF EMPTINESS
I look in the shadow and I follow the path
Surrounded by echoes of timeless sounds
Branches and leaves are still dry on this side
The sound of the water is far from here
This hunting land, weak light
Shades upon the clouds
I fly on the wings of my emptiness
A night to overcome, lost in an dead end fog
Breathing a cold scent of sadness
Under the surface, down on this barren land
Facing the sorrow, vanishing sight
Every moment I look at the sky
It reflects a face without the eyes
Bend my perspective an image appear
Painted by demons with scarlet ink
A paint without a frame, a name
Without a soul
I fly on the wings of my emptiness
A night to overcome, lost in an dead end fog
Breathing a cold scent of sadness
Under the surface, down on this barren land
Facing the sorrow, vanishing sight
Ready to open the door of my fate
Spiraling voids show the way of despair and obsession
I can’t remember the reason I’m here
How could I ever forget all this trip into nothingness
FROM THE SCARS (Flatland)
From the scars, all these scars
what do I get, what am I learning?
from the stumble, the downfall
from the pain and from the burning?
will I get better someday,
find a different way?
Still I’m running round in circles
Always falling at that single step
The scars on my skin do
tell the story of a species
doomed to jostle, colliding
until getting torn to pieces
will it be different tomorrow
on this plain valley of tears and sorrow
caught between the left and right and
knowing not (the) above and (the) below.
From the scars in my heart I learnt that love’s so hard to handle
From the scars on us all I learnt to look forward
But even if I tell You
my days are grey and bitter yet I know
something can make a difference
(something can) touch my heart
and leave a hope inside.
As in a snowfall
flakes in air descending on your track
(and) light of dawn behind you
strengthening your pace
From the time of all the days spent smoothing up my sharpest edges
Did I get some relief? No, still i’m hurting still i’m gettin hurt
But the searcher will find, (and) leave the flatland behind
(the) knot between (the) past and future
Is keeping what we are well out of view.
From the scars in my heart I learnt that love is hard to handle
From the scars on us all I learnt to look forward
Perhaps in dreams an angel
crossed my way descending from above
Careless of time and space go
touch my heart and leave a hope:
that there is something deeper,
that there is something higher overhed.
that there’s a sense beyond this world
“Open your heart an enter in the stream”.
LOST DAYS OF WINTER
Lost are (the) days of winter again
Drained by a cold embrace
Night time a long wake under the rain
A sad lament deafening
Never heard a word from your heart
Now you’re spreading decay and frost
Outside the moon is fading out
Nocturnal thoughts unspoken bring me down bring me down
Right here we begin
This shallow dream
Slain by the old flame of another dimension
Reaching for the stars
Essence of life
Laying on a river of fire burning out more and more
I still try to wait looking out
Searching for an exit
Have I ever believe in it?
This pale fire will never grows
Never ending days dreaming (something)else
The seed of chaos grows Inside
Outside the moon is fading out
Nocturnal thoughts unspoken bring me down bring me down
Right here we begin
This shallow dream
Slain by the old flame of another dimension
Reaching for the stars
Essence of life
Laying on a river of fire burning out more and more
BLACK BEDLAM
Immersed in a mist of air, I’m sinking but can’t get down
The sun’s glow eclipsing, Beneath a twisted harmony
I struggle to keep my balance, Seeking hands giving help
Alone into the abyss, Weak, in a moment of strength
Prey of the prey, No place to hide
Hot with shame, Burning the eyes
Is there someone shaking my senses
Defying the seas of hate
Until the end relieve my pain
Strikes me in the eyes
There won’t be time to cry
When the crows fly down on me
No surrender no decline
A black bedlam
The light inside is fading, Increase the fuel to the core
Walk on the empty avenues, Go over again through memories
Prey of the prey, No place to hide
Hot with shame, Kills the spark
Is there someone shaking my senses
Defying the seas of hate
Until the end relieve my pain
Strikes me in the eyes
There won’t be time to cry
When the crows fly down on me
No surrender no decline
A black bedlam
Another dawn to waste away, From out to the void I die again
Tell me lies, send a sign ….. won’t hurt anymore
Trip the light on this side ….. Can’t shelter your sight
Is there someone shaking my senses
Defying the seas of hate
Until the end relieve my pain
Strikes me in the eyes
There won’t be time to cry
When the crows fly down on me
No surrender no decline
A black bedlam
FORGOTTEN DISCIPLE
The desperation force my thoughts to another wrong choice
I can no longer separate
Illusions and reality
Spritual, material what I want is a mistery
That’s why I lose my way
Should I be left behind?
Across the times somewhere there was a light
One way ride to a wicked limb
I walk around the void on through the night
I long to be more than a man
Gather the strenght and run
Repeating the cycle
From the night till the sunrise
Tread on this holy sand
I’m learning to watch
Over the sign of skyline
Every single glimpse outside hide me a danger
I stumble on my feet
Bang the face on the grave
Focus on the bible words believer without faith
Prayers stained by idleness
Define a way to play this game
Across the fields somewhere there was a fire
One way ride to a wicked limb
I walk around the void on through the night
I long to be more than a man
Gather the strenght and run
Repeating the cycle
From the night till the sunrise
Tread on this holy sand
I’m learning to watch
Over the sign of skyline
