1. Time
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
There will come a time
We said
But time only goes
The fading of the rainbow
The closing of a rose
We´ll make the time
We vowed
But times already made
Impatient as the twilight
Elusive as the shade
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
We´ll take the time
We both agreed
But time is only lived
Ahe clock unwinds
And autumn leaves
Run riot in the wind
And time just slips away
They say
Like golden grains of sand
And the days and nights
We held so tight
Escape from out our hands
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now it has gone
And now it has gone
2. Nostalgia
I see old spirits rise, in brown eyes
a violet smile, a lack of control
we failed to take the chance
long ago, for a day like this, I would have given
all my lifes future bliss
in the past I longed for futile days like this
I see old spirits rise, in your eyes
a violet smile, a lack of control
now we know what we have lost
short ago, for a day like this, I would have given
all my lifes future bliss
I still long for fertile days like this
3. Destroy Your Life
And do you look at the stars
And dream of your past
It was so long ago
Oh did you ever know
Destroy your life
I’d like to think that you destroyed your life
I am where I always was, buried inside a tomb of dreams
And here we are on the roof of our life, preparing to fly without wings
All the years have passed in vain and the road gets shorter everyday now
I was waiting for something to happen but then you just flew away
And do you look at the stars
And dream of your past
It was so long ago
Oh did you ever know
Destroy your life destroy your life
Destroy your life
And do you look at the stars
And dream of your past
It was so long ago
Oh did you ever know
Destroy your life destroy your life
I’d like to think that you destroyed your life
Beneath your old house I saw horses, running free with your mourning
To foreign shores on ships of gold, that’s where we should be going
But there are things in me that time can never heal
And all the voices in my head: “summer is just a dream”
And do you look at the stars
And dream of your past
Where did you go
And did you ever know
Destroy your life destroy your life
Destroy your life
Do you look at the stars
And dream of your past
Where did you go
And did you ever know
Destroy your life destroy your life
I’d like to think that you destroyed your life
4. Underneath Stars Without A Sky
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
Has it all gone or will I fall awake
Will I never return to be the same again
Droplets of memory are all that remain
Strange faces promising new life
Does the reward justify the loss
All beauty burned
Burned like bridges I once crossed
7 years ago often more
Has it all gone or will I fall awake
Will I never return to be young again
Since it does not matter when
Why could I not die then
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
I came to leave I start to bleed
A dream within a dream
Another wave breaks on a foreign shore
A dream within a dream
All the pain that comes down on me
A dream within a dream
The second side of My Boy
A dream within a dream
Nothing nothing nothing nothing
A dream within a dream
A hideaway unseen
A dream within a dream
Why could I not die then
Why could I not die then
5. First Song
Wait, here we stand
Starry-eyed at the crossroads
I do not pretend
Here we stand once again
I´m just passing by - come crashing into your life
Uncertainty
Not enough time
Let´s hesitate forever
As I stumble I await my fall
I´m just passing by - here crawling into your life
Let loose your dolphins to tear me apart
Let loose your cats to feast on my heart
Let loose your friends to defile my name
Let loose a love to engulf me with pain
I´m just passing by and here is your first song
And the light in your eyes, glimmer or pity
Let loose your dolphins to tear me apart
Let loose your cats to feast on my heart
Let loose your friends to defile my name
Let loose a love to engulf me with pain
I´m just passing by, sharing your fear of getting old
And now I remember that your hair was golden
6. Shine
there could be a future, I see it bright, I don't see
it clear
there is a place, I'm part of it with you
there is joy and all the pleasure
and there is also something I longed for
I'd give it all up, I'd throw it all away
but all that's left is me here in despair
hear the serenade
this serenade of my soul
my tearful words for you to shine
maybe you are present right now
and maybe I point at you right now
and if you are not
I wish it would be
that you would listen to my wail
I want to wave farewell to my lament
forget all my pain, my waking hours
I'll wake you in the morning
in a time when luck is mine
I await a time for me to shine
7. And Never Return
a different world waits for me
a hideaway from all that's wrong
across the waves to enchanted isles
far away and there we'll stay
we all live troubled lives
but I'd rather stay here in the dark
you like the west but I go north
there is more than one true love
I'm just passing by and people change
hearing you say "people change"
and then you blackened all the stars
and then you never looked back
and then you sent the gods away
and then they never came back
and then I saw you in my dreams
and then you never came back
I am still the same but people change
hang on, it's gone and people change
8. Shores Of Yesterday
here I watch the midnights go and all this searching has to stop
and how long this road appears and how uncertain in the night
I've got so far to go and oh so little time
though I may regret tomorrow I'd say yesterday was mine
so let us sing of the tortured heart
so let us revisit places past
so let us dream of chances lost
so let us sail on ships of gold
here the years rush like blood and what we love we hurt the most
adrift on that special day I glanced through to another world
but considering this and reflecting that, promises broken and nothing else left
what is real is better than what was dreamt, but still I can dream
we will never know
so let us sing of the tortured heart
so let us revisit places past
so let us dream of chances lost
so let us sail on ships of gold
to the shores of yesterday
9. Up The Ass Of A Swan
Up the ass of a swan
Is where you should be
The latching of truth
Therein lies the key
10. In June, As I Killed Time (Live In Castle Lockenhaus)
later as we say goodbye
I realize, all is well for her
it's 3 a.m. and I don't know that
my reason to live is soon to come
come with me, my horizon widened
dawn comes fast and the birds sing loud
my eyes are coloured with the red
that's on the sky and the clouds
I see it all through a romantic haze
and wait to be cut again
by the not so fair
the barbed and poisoned dart of Cupid
tell me what friends are for
I hate all my sadness songs
my dreams are difficult and they
depend on and collapse with yours
later as we say goodbye
I realize, all is well for her
it's "I don't know" and I don't care
but a reason to live is yet alive
come with me to complete my life
night comes fast and the air is warm
my eyes are filled with the kissing,
glancing, loving, bleeding, singing...
may your pains be softened
may your throes be driven away
may your pains be softened
there are things that wash me away
11. A Dream Within A Dream
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
Has it all gone or will I fall awake
Will I never return to be the same again
Droplets of memory are all that remain
Strange faces promising new life
Does the reward justify the loss
All beauty burned
Burned like bridges I once crossed
7 years ago often more
Has it all gone or will I fall awake
Will I never return to be young again
Since it does not matter when
Why could I not die then
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
I came to leave I start to bleed
A dream within a dream
Another wave breaks on a foreign shore
A dream within a dream
All the pain that comes down on me
A dream within a dream
The second side of My Boy
A dream within a dream
Nothing nothing nothing nothing
A dream within a dream
A hideaway unseen
A dream within a dream
Why could I not die then
Why could I not die then
12. I Woke From A Sleep That Lasted All My Life
Everything I’d change a whole life to rearrange
Only one dream was good only once I understood
Down the hill from where I live
There’s a road that I never take
Have I gone out or did you come in
I can’t remember now that I’m awake
I never speak about what treasure I have found
I outlived my past and silence will make it last
Down the hill from where I live
There’s a road that I never take
Have I gone out or did you come in
I can’t remember now that I’m awake
You pulled me away and what more can I say
If it was meant to be it’s now that I am free
Down the hill from where I live
There’s a road that I never take
Have I gone out or did you come in
I can’t remember now that I’m awake
13. Black (Bonnie Prince Billy Cover)
Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack
Everything was lucked and downy
What was good was up from under
Until black, that awful tender
Came and popped my sense of wonder
All at once all eyes turned at him
Leaving me an unwatched body
And it sagged, my body's rib cage
Out from under ogler's study
Black was decomposing quickly
This was found offensive to me
His disrespect for life's proprieties
Made me scared he would destroy me
Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack
So I thought I'd try to cut him
Try to force him 'neath my level
The only way to equal to him
Would be hit him with a shovel
But to really rise above him
That would be the final evil
So instead I asked the sucker
If he'd care to see my rooms
And as a friend and as a comrade
And all the things that these implied
I made him leave what it was that he had
Used to keep us unallied
Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack
Now black and I we are together
Fairly just inseparable
And in the terriblest of weather
Our bonds are incorruptible
Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack
14. Time (Split Version)
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
There will come a time
We said
But time only goes
The fading of the rainbow
The closing of a rose
We´ll make the time
We vowed
But times already made
Impatient as the twilight
Elusive as the shade
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
We´ll take the time
We both agreed
But time is only lived
Ahe clock unwinds
And autumn leaves
Run riot in the wind
And time just slips away
They say
Like golden grains of sand
And the days and nights
We held so tight
Escape from out our hands
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now it has gone
And now it has gone
