From The Cradle To The Grave

Альбом XIII

 

There is a window out of pain,
but the grief will come again,
swallow all the light and steal the sleep tonight.
I'll never see the day to take it all away.

There was a time to play my cards,
drown my anchor in the hearts,
find the tracks to love and get the tricks to shove.
I never found a way to make it here to stay.

My world is dark and out of touch,
I'm left alone a bit too much.
What you see is what you get,
but when you can't there's nothing left.
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave.

My world is full of mortal scenes
that blind my eyes and steal my dreams.
What you feel is what you get,
but when you can't there's nothing left.
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave.

My world is dark and out of touch,
I'm left alone a bit too much.
What you see is what you get,
but when you can't there's nothing left.
My world is full of mortal scenes
that blind my eyes and steal my dreams.
I can't see or feel it yet
and as I can't there's nothing left.
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave.
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave.
I'll miss you from the cradle to the grave...



Days Of December

Альбом XIII

 

The clouds have prepared for rain and storm.
The chill of the wind has frozen all the pain.
I know in my room it's dry and warm,
but I cannot stand to scan the walls in vain.

White and wonderful the snow covers my hair.
I reach out but you not there.

In the days of december
I'm lonely ever since you're gone.
In the night I remember
your frozen hands that kept me warm.
In the days of december.

I've never seen sense in future plans.
I know that the time will make it up somehow.
But god, how I miss you, there's no words,
to tell you how it looks inside myself now.

Cold and beautiful,
your vision in the ice.
I reach out but you not there.

In the days of december
I'm lonely ever since you're gone.
In the night I remember
your frozen hands that kept me warm.
In the days of december.



Sign Of Heaven

Альбом XIII

 

I've been waiting for an invitation,
couldn't leave my selfmade reservation.
I had locked the door and throw the key away.

There was nothing but my own reflection
and the phone was silent, no connection.
I was turning just in circles with no end.

All that I had, it was gone, it was dead.
But now my night is surrounded by light.
This must be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven,
the nightmare is over.

As the winter left the frozen places
and the mirror smiled at lonely faces,
then my leaves, they started slowly reaching out.

Now your laughter echoes in the silence
and your waters wash the dirt from my hands,
as we harvest all the fruits that come our way.

All that I had, it was gone, it was dead.
But now my night is surrounded by light.
This must be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven,
the nightmare is over.

There was nothing but my own reflection
I was turning just in circles with no end...



Incomplete

Альбом XIII

 

Here I am, still I try to found out where I'm really now.
What is been, I have laid it down, forgotten on a shelf.
An old pair of shoes that I've grown out.

There's never enough to take when you're running away
from emptiness.

My days seem like wasted, I'm incomplete.
I'm grieving, believing in the change in me.
I'm lost alone and incomplete.

Now you're gone. I send my spirit out to wander all the time.
And my flesh, it is waiting for the time to be released.
All in one hand, a touch at least.

Confusion, nothing's real.
I'm lost without. I feel I'm almost gone.

My days seem like wasted, I'm incomplete.
I'm grieving, believing in the change in me.
I'm lost alone and incomplete.



Turn The Page

Альбом XIII

 

Time will come when you feel down.
Everything you had is gone
and whatever you had thought you'd really need
is meaningless, you turn around,
caught by a light, a distant sound,
like a creature that is drawn into the flame.

Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're suppose to stay.
Turn the page and fill it up with life.
I won't sigh when time will turn the page.

You're alone during the stay.
Company can share your way,
but they'll never ever make it really close
to the core, to the beyond.
What's in store on from this point
will surprisingly be scaring joyful pain.

Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're suppose to stay.
Turn the page and fill it up with life.
And don't sigh when time will turn the page.

On these tracks we walk, we've got a choice.
Be aware, I'll be your voice...

Time will come you're down,
everything you had is gone.
And whatever you had thought you'd really need
is meaningless, you turn around
to a light, a distant sound,
like a creature that is drawn into the flame.

Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're suppose to stay.
Turn the page and fill it up with life.
I won't sigh when time will turn the page.



Heartblood

Альбом XIII

 

On a dusty winding road, luck is not for free,
if you did like you were told, you will never see.

Just give me your heartblood...

Can it be a sin to speak in the tongue of freedom?
You will only win if you try the best to be you.

Just give me your heartblood...

Warfare in a sick society.
Out there give it all or leave it be.
No fear! What do you mean - 'security'?
Who cares about you? You'll only hear:

Give me your heartblood...



Over And Over

Альбом XIII

 

Once our eyes stare hollow into nothing,
our fingers clutching helpless in the void.
Then our skulls won't tell about our past lives,
rich or poor, we're gonna be destroyed.

Nothing's gonna save us from death, leave it all behind
and our gathering, it was all in vain.

Over and over again
building the castles of sand.
Over and over again,
all for a kingdom of sand in your hands.

Bankers, beggars, soldiers, priests and sinners,
leaders, losers, all will be the same.
If you keep your millions on accountings,
nothing you will take out from this game.

And in your last hideaway, that's kept far underground
you'll share your remains just with the worms.

Over and over again
building the castles of sand.
Over and over again,
all for a kingdom of sand in your hands.



In Vain /I Won't Go Down/

Альбом XIII

 

This is my life and I won't compromise or waste my time.
All I have done I did on purpose 'cause I wanted it to do.
If I was wrong I'm very sorry but this happens when you try,
Sometimes you can't foresee how things are working out,
and what it's about...

If it all was in vain I won't sigh for a single day,
I'll do it again and again.
If it all was in vain I will wait for another time,
I swear I won't go down again.

And if I doubt I might have failed even before the day is gone,
how can I know if I don't dare?
Am I allowed to do it twice if I don't make it at first time?
Then I will learn from my mistakes and I'll do right,
haven't I tried...?

If it all was in vain I won't sigh for a single day,
I'll do it again and again.
If it all was in vain I will wait for another time,
I swear I won't go down again.

I know you know that we can.
We hold the key in our hands,
to make it better, then it wasn't all in vain.



Immortal Sin

Альбом XIII

 

So sweet and defenseless,
offered all to my dependence.
Just relax your spirit,
we're all alone.

Tied up in the darkness,
you've forgotten your existence,
waiting for the fire
and what's to come.

Lost imaginations
coming back to scare the body.
Going down in fever,
drawn to the flame.

A sweet pain to cut the indifference,
a forbidden love to come.

You're immortal, you're immortal sin.

Coming from behind you,
feel the fingers reaching higher.
Crawling on the floor,
you won't get away.

So sweet and dependent,
I will offer my demands.
So just relax your spirit,
we're all alone.

And you know you shouldn't walk this way,
but you never want to hear.

You're immortal, you're immortal sin.

Now you're gone too far...

We're all alone.



Paint It, Black

Альбом XIII

 

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Paint it black

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

Paint it black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

Paint it black

I wanna see it painted, painted black
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black

I wanna see the sun painted black



Just Alone

Альбом XIII

 

They lowered my body in a dark hole,
The dry ground now covers my remains.
I stood at their side and watch them crying.
They can't know, their tears, they all in vain.

All four winds together, driving me forever.
I'm not lost, I'm just alone.

I can see, I can hear, I can be, be forevermore...

All four winds together, driving me forever.
I'm not lost, I'm just alone.

Where shall I be in this dimension?
Where are the others I await?
Is this existence meant forever?
Is there a door that leads away?

All four winds together, driving me forever.
I'm not lost, I'm just alone.

Nailed to a cross of isolation.
My punishment is I'm all alone.
Just alone, alone...



Another Wasted Day

Альбом XIII

 

See these people like me, living in this dirty place
Feel this depression in these streets that lame the brain

It kills the will that drives me on
'Cause where'a no hope all power's gone
Why Am I here? A senseless birth
I'm not afraid to leave this earth

Heal these hollow eyes that keep on starting at these walls
Fill the empty space that's in these heads where chaos crawls

'Cause from the mud there comes disease
A new born hate disturbs the peace
A fatal end to all my grief
I've lost my pride, my self belief

I get my food from an unknown hand
I did nothing for it, understand

Still I'm waiting for a reason that could make a difference
But this is just another wasted day
Give me something to rely on, I don't know where I'am going
This is just another wasted day

Hear the voiceless calling in a world of noisy gear
Find the answer for a human child why it is here

'Cause from the mud there comes disease
A new born hate disturbs the peace
A fatal end to all my grief
I've lost my pride, my self belief

Not only out of work, we're out of all
it seems this world's for all of us too small



Another Wasted Day

Альбом XIII

 

Люди, с мною схожи, доживают дни в грязи
И опустошенье улиц с видом, словно из могил

Подавит волю, что нас ведет
Сюда надежда не забредет
Зачем я здесь? Меня прости
Но не боюсь совсем уйти

Излечи глаза, в которых только холод стен
Заполни пропасть душ, в которые проникнет тлен

Ведь из грязи растет чума
И новый гнев сожжет дома
Моя печаль убьет себя
Утратил гордость и веру я

Жрал всю жизнь из незнакомых рук
Только незаслуженно, так вдруг

Жду я случай, что способен изменить весь мир вокруг
Но напрасно прожит еще день
Напрасно прожит день
Дай, на что мне опираться, и скажи, куда деваться
Ведь напрасно прожит еще день
Слышишь глас безмолвный в мире шестерен и труб
Это плач ребенка, что вершит над нами суд

Ведь из грязи...

Не только без работы, мы без души
Ведь этот мир так мал для нас, больших

Tom Sawyer

Альбом XIII

 

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.
Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you
No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide
Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day
