1. Red
Just a red stain on the wall...
I’m pouring down the wall...
I’m staring at my body falling
To the dark floor...
Awaiting me, quite still...
I’m dripping on my skin...
A flow of lime and blood...
Rave, I grieve…
Nothing but rave and grief...
I’m just the stains I leave
Upon the wall...
I’m dried before the end...
Just fading from my eyes, away...
Eyes, away...
I’m leaning ‘gainst the wall...
And looking for me, I’m a tongue...
A taste of lime ...
Rave I grieve...
Nothing but rave and grief...
There are no stains I leave
Upon the wall...
I’m pouring down the wall...
I’m leaning ‘gainst the wall...
I’m pouring down the wall...
I’m pouring down.
2. Blind Dreamers
Like a ghost
In a nameless crowd
Trying to meet my inner memories
Looking back
Searching for lost candour
We see us
Living alone and lost
Life is a fool on a stage,
A vanishing jest,
Nothing but walking shadows
Days full of fury and sound.
A meaningless path
Leading our paces to dry dust
Just a dream
Driving our lost steps
We thought for
Us joy and endless time
Now you’re gone
Should have been hereafter
There would have been
A time for such a word
Life is a fool on a stage,
A vanishing jest,
Nothing but walking shadows
Days full of fury and sound
A meaningless path
Leading our paces to dry dust
We don’t live
Blind dreamers caught in a web of lust
We’re yearning…
A sky of lead
Wait for a tear
While we’re trying to see...
...our inmost desires
We don’t live
Blind dreamers caught in a web of lust
We’re yearning…
A sky of lead
Wait for a tear
While we’re trying to see...
We’re yearning…
A sky of lead
A vanishing jest
…and we still are trying.
3. Tides
Passed by,
Glimmering dusks, on quiet lakes,
Hiding in unsaid words.
Cold tides,
Echoes of chasing words having just gone,
In a darkening sky.
You shouldn’t ask…
You shouldn’t ask…
Bright dawns,
Longing for days, thoughts full of life,
We were blinded by dreams.
Lying hopes,
wonderful visions of so serene days
Faded by obscure times
You shouldn’t ask…
You shouldn’t ask…
Where are… all these days gone by?
Where are… last year melted snows?
Where are… Lord tell me
Where are…
can you ask?
Bright lying dusks,
(promised shining dawns)
Bright lying dusks,
(promised twinkling dawns)
They’re wiped in our souls bends
(gone away)
Looking for hide,
(where we can’t escape)
Looking for hide
(where we can’t escape)
We’re diving in thundering tides
(gone away)
Where are… all these days gone by?
Where are… last year melted snows?
Where are… Lord tell me.
Where are…
You can only ask…
4. Bitter and Unsaid
I blend my fears tonight,
My apathy, my bliss, my hate.
And lines of tears now dried,
And faults that I can’t right anymore.
Questioning my mind,
Colours fade inside,
And roundabouts of burdens crash my life.
Fears that I must fight
Strength within is dying
In every sentence, word that cross my mind.
The past haunts me again
In treacherous attacks like stabs,
And talks about myself,
About the rags of this old knave.
Photos, letters, words,
Secrets I once owned,
And now It is all spinning a long yarn.
Fears that I now fight
Strength within now dies
And roundabouts of burdens in my mind.
Drowning in the pool of a lost remembrance,
Recollected ruins of a scattered past,
Why do I dare to fight?
Why I gently crawl?
Questioning my mind,
Colours fade inside,
And roundabouts of burdens crash my life.
Fears that I must fight
Strength within is dying
In every sentence, word that cross my mind.
5. The Fakest Jest
I’m dazzled by blue lights
I’m realizing that this crowd is full of hollow hearts.
Still lonely on these beams,
I wonder if they creak or they just laugh at me again.
I make-up my eyes with my dreams and my cries,
Playing my role on the stages of life,
Trying to make you laugh,
Ignoring the black of my hands.
Colours of future and colours of past,
Present’s my hope but it’s crumbling fast,
I’m just a fragment of feeling in this dying soul.
A pale make-up, a smiling mouth,
My drolly fakes to hide my eyes.
Me and my hands, in front of you,
Your staring eyes, how could you laugh?
Deeper into my sadness
There’s an image of my thoughts,
Just like a coil of dust.
Falling down into madness
The only refraction of this soul
Is this false smiling face.
« Enviant de ces gens la passion tenace,
De ces vieilles putains la funèbre gaieté,
Et tous gaillardement trafiquant à ma face,
L’un de son vieil honneur, l’autre de sa beauté!
Et mon coeur s’effraya d’envier maint pauvre homme
Courant avec ferveur à l’abime béant,
Et qui, soul de son sang, préférerait en somme
La douleur à la mort et l’enfer au néant »
Deeper into my sadness
There’s an image of my thoughts,
Just like a coil of dust.
Falling down into madness
The only refraction of this soul
Is this false smiling face.
6. Breath of Time
I want to be fire, I yearn to be twilight in the sky
I long to be freedom and then fade away.
I looked through the shadows, feeling so lonely deep inside
Dreaming of times when I can fly so high.
When you learn the Time has come,
You can only try to free your mind,
Then you feel death all around,
You will find the way you' re looking for,
A revolt in your soul,
Trying escape, to run, to fly,
Till the end of your world.
Oh! Why can't you see, It's the end of dreams.
In your dreams there is no way,
You can seek but never find it out,
While the sands devour your days
And you face a fear that never ends
A new horizon unfolds
Who can say It's dreamless sleep,
Or a perpetual bliss.
Oh! Why can't you see, It's a boundless dream.
I want to be fire, I yearn to be twilight in the sky
I long to be freedom and then fade away.
I looked through the shadows, feeling so lonely deep inside
Dreaming of times when I can fly so high.
Can't you feel the Breath of Time saying that you can't last forever?
Will you find the strength inside to find a way out?
When you win and when you lose, there's no sense in what you're doing
Destiny remains the same even if you fight until the end.
7. Crossing
I wind my emotions in a prison full of dreams and tears
Day-dreams, fakes hopes, all that I build now forsakes my life
Aimless in this mirror, I can’t escape from my dark blue sky
Sunset and dreams fade away
I wait for the day to be fooled again
Now I blind my reflections
Overcome by my obsessions
Disconnected from my mind
Fears are crossing my oceans
I’m confused by my phantoms
But my eyes won’t see thy light again
I wind my emotions
8. Sacrifice
One day you will forgive me for tears I don’t believe in,
For the dark I hide inside myself.
Till light won’t tear my sorrow I’ll be always lost in raving
Labyrinths of minds.
Perhaps you tried to heal me, to save my world from all the
Ghosts that swallow me with all my dreams.
But now I’ve learnt my curse and no one follows me throughout this
Haze inside myself.
Burning sorrows in the lightning of deliverance
Sacred fire while the darkness lights my consciousness
I see my life seems always shattering
On a cliff of death
And my visions slowly sail away
Falling silence in the nothingness again for me,
In the wind there is a path that leads so far away.
I see your life is lost, betrayed, in a sacrifice
While I’m always waiting for my sunrise
Now...
Again...
I Fall...I fly, so high. No, can’t you feel me ?
Your spirit your soul is so far.
How can you reach my soul now...
... again?
9. Desert Dust
Looking in me, trying to find new ways to be,
And I am searching and running forever
Until my last deed.
And then I will feel , there’s nothing else that I need,
In all this life that decamps without peace
Until my decease.
Fading away we’ll be lost in the emptiness,
Nailed to an infinite void, to a silence of words
That we’ve never know,
Till the end of this show.
Crying through this evergrey season of madness,
Falling into infinity deep in the darkness,
We’re just playing a part and we hate it,
We’re just… old masks
What we do and what we say
Covered, lost, betrayed.
Desert dust will still remain
Hope lays choked again.
Can you foretell any future for your soul
While you’re not sure there will be
A new stage to tread, a new mask to wear, a role in this show?
Chained and than nailed to this life, the hope in a new one in a paradise,
That could be a lie, the rope that can save, our hopes now so weak… and dead.
What we see and what we feel
Will be dust again.
Desert dust will still remain
Scattered dreams and prayers.
Unexpected seasons, the veil of my oblivion,
Sands of time still running though my blood.
The stregth of all this visions, my senses and my reason,
Whispering the way for my return.
Far from this world now our hearts can be free
Here they’re stabbed by reality.
Lost in ourselves, in a new way to be
The eternal illusion to live.
What we do and what we say
Covered, lost, betrayed.
Desert dust will still remain
Hope lays choked again.
10. 1936
Heard you
Dropping your vest,
Fine perceptions humming
Inside my head.
Peaceful
Blankets of rest,
Feeling inside my mind,
Only your breath.
I can’t see you now,
I’ve never felt this lonley taste,
Remeber dancing in the rain?
You step by,
You turn away,
You hide.
I can’t just keep
Pretending all the way
You were mine.
Thoughtlessy
You comb your hair
And I
Wonder why there’s
No way we can now share
Chores and fights.
Noises
Behind your wall
Find an empied sea,
It’s mine and yours.
First time
Ever realised
Can you someway help us
Make them collide?
You’re so bloody close
I never felt this lonely taste
Remeber dancing in the rain?
I reach out for thou,
While you just run your life.
You’re diving in,
Those shallow spaces I recognise.
Thoughtlessy
You comb your hair
And I
Wonder why there’s
No way we can now share
Chores and fights.
11. C.R.A.
Why should you scream?
Why should you feel pain?
Can’t you see things getting better?
Why should you grouse?
We can’t see the shades
That conceal our shining way?
Watch the reasons falling silent
Watch as choosing our own side
We ,the hangmen, chose our victims
You ,the lamb of our next crime
Slowly we still forsake all our youthful dreams
So weak is our will,
Guilty, trying to conceal our forgotten sins
With fake remorses.
Look at your past
At those useless dreams
That you wear like worn out shoes
And the rivers
Of this ancient rage
Turning out in icecold quiet floods
Watch the reasons falling silent
Watch us choosing our own side
We the hangmen, chose our own field
For the sake of peace and of quiet
Slowly we still forsake all our youthful dreams
So weak is our will,
Guilty, trying to conceal our forgotten sins
With fake remorses.
12. My Infinite
Trying to feel you, scattered into me
Forever, lasting without dying,
Touch me, whispering slowly.
Through my sorrow,
Playing hide and seek
With my purpose, only a bet we can't take
Until our last jest
In the darkness of my sunrise,
I feel it creeping, I feel you fighting
Like a nightmare through my shadows
You will come.
In the darkness of my sunrise,
I feel like crawling I feel you gasping,
Run to madness, through my obsession, now!
No, you'll never come back,
I'm losing myself in my dreams,
And my certitude dies,
Your presence would now help my wings.
Now I must reach you, my infinite dream,
Before my soul fades away.
And I will reach you, my infinite dream forever.
In the darkness of my sunrise,
I feel it creeping, I feel you fighting
Like a nightmare through my shadows
You will come.
In the darkness of my sunrise,
I feel like crawling I feel you gasping,
Run to madness, through my obsession, now.
… now I will find inside me all that you could never see
In a world that I dream, all that you could never.
