1. Emilie's Broken Heart
2. Sister Sorrow
3. Short Term God
It looks like a happy night. It began like a happy night.
All the resolutions that we made are no more.
It looks like a festive night, a stillborn festive night.
The funfair was here in town only today… too late.
Is it your favourite dress that you wear right now?
Is it some red that you put on your lips?
Say it to me, (say it to me) so that we could divide.
Say it to me but carefully.
You never seemed so glad to see me, did you?
Is it a consolation before death?
Say it to me and we could divide, it's all you owe to me.
Is it some red that I see on your lips?
Say it to me, (say it to me) so that we could divide.
Say it to me but carefully.
See how much the man I became frightens the child I was.
See how much this ending chapter is so empty.
I handle the illusion so well. I juggle with the doubts so well.
How could I imagine even in worst dreams our faith could go into eclipse?
For all you did to me, darling, our premature love is not anymore.
For all you mean to me, darling, I can't wait for you.
Scars again, flesh to hide, spare to me the reasons to cry.
I can't believe that you are anymore. All you are is a short term god.
You can build another sky. You can spend the rest of your mind.
I can't believe that we are anymore. All I need is a twilight ending.
Fade away, fade away in a laconic mourning.
I can't believe, that you are anymore, all you are is a short term god.
A short term god is all you are.
4. One Chance Left
Truth in front of us, how could you overcome it?
Dead ode to desire, the light above is gone.
I don't think you'll try, the night is so long, the gap is so large.
I don't think you'll try, the faces are so hard to recognize.
Trapped behind your landmine, can you see I'm not the one that will change the score, that will bring truth into the light?
The more that I can give to you, the more you can accept is no remedy to your never ending distress.
Trapped behind your landmine, can you see I'm not the one that will change the score, that will bring truth into the light?
What could I do to show you that the best is about to come?
I can't cut myself in two anymore.
Can you see I'm not the one that rules your days?
I don't want to be your accomplice that switch off the light to dissimulate the crime weapon, near your dead body.
Face to your dusty fate, you can't fight the one you are.
Trapped behind your landmine, can you see I'm not the one that will change the score, that will bring truth into the light?
What could I do to show you that the best is about to come?
I can't cut myself in two anymore.

8. Orchids For Kids
Winter is coming. It brings for us the promised night that we've both always been waiting for
Winter is coming. It brings for us the ultimate event in which we'll learn who we really are
Orchids for kids. A present for an obscene night
Find an exit for tonight, a controlled fall
Find an exit in our demise
Orchids for kids, tonight
Our controlled fall is a present for the naives
How long will it last?
We heard about betrayal
We heard about painful tragedies
We heard about dependencies and melancholies
Is it the mistake of our life that we are making?
We heard about what people call the high fall when love is gone and emptiness that waits behind
Nothing will be like before
When the light begins to change and suspicion grows
What will we bring with us?
And the pallid sky will open
And the pallid sky will open
And our hearts will begin to beat in an other rythme
And the pallid sky will open
White orchids in your hands for the kids that we were
Well, when begins to change and no doubt remains
From now, purity will turn to grey
You used to be what I was made for, until this murderer night
now you are what I'm dying for...
