Les paroles


1. SHADE INTO GREY

Can you feel deep within
The storm is gonna rage
All the beliefs you need
Are slowly gonna change
Find the light in the lies
Lose the truth in yourself

Can you hear in the wind
They’re calling out your name
When your heart has been sealed
It’s your mind they will tame
Find the grief they will breed
And you’ll become the same

Shade into grey
Become a part of the game
While you believe you roll the dice
They lead your hand
Shade into grey
Your colors are fading away
It seems you forgot who you are
And why you live

Now the idol you pray to
Is feeding your vanity
And the things that you meant
Turn to hypocrisy
You want to see me fail
So I’ll carry your guilt
It’s your soul that you sell
Integrity you kill
Creating your own tale
You’ll never know the thrill
In the lines of your hand
There is no place for dreams

Shade into grey
Become a part of the game
While you believe you roll the dice
They lead your hand
Shade into grey
Your colors are fading away
It seems you forgot who you are
And why you live


2. PERSPECTIVE OF REALITY

Give me life, take my hand
Make me fly, let me see who I am
Make me strong, make me weak
Color my world into something real
Slowly, you’re tempting me
Show me the edge of my fantasy
Reaching out, I can touch your hair
In your arms I’d go anywhere
( I would go anywhere...)

And your steps are leading me
Show me the path before I bleed
And your steps are leading
My perspective of reality

Fill my dreams, my nightmares
Bring me down to the land of nowhere
Hear me call for your name
Now I know you will always be there
Twisting the things I see
My perspective of reality
Elevate me to higher spheres
Together crushing our fears

Take my life, here I am
Let me feel the power in your hands
All around, I can feel
Your green eyes always staring at me
Beating inside of me
Take your time as you’re playing with me
Your image is following me
You’re still haunting my memories
(Still in my memories...)

And your steps are leading me
Show me the path before I bleed
And your steps are leading
My perspective of reality


3. MENTAL CAPTIVITY

I close my eyes, the silence is all around
I remember your face, your touch and your smile ;
The things you did, the words you said
(Time won’t take all this away...)
But now I face this heavy stone that stands for my loneliness,
And now I taste the flavour of pain floating ‘round in the air...

Chain my hands,
Retrench my will.
Building walls around
Smash me to the ground...

I’m waiting in the dark
Locked in my own memories
My obsessions all became a part of me
They tied me up, they stole my dreams.
(Prisoner of my own needs...)
I stitch my heart,
I know it will never heal ;
I lost my name so Death will never find me.
I’m gonna stay eternally
Into my Mental Captivity...

Chain my hands,retrench my will.
Build these walls around myself.
Cage my soul with sins,
Restrain my ideals,
Drain my thoughts away,
Pain is here to stay.

Loneliness- my fears are killing me...
Nothingness- I know you will be there waiting for me, so give me your hand.
Nothingness- I’m digging my own grave...
Loneliness- the silence turned this stone into a wall I will never break.

...So tell the words, and I will be saved.

Chain my hands,retrench my will.
Build these walls around myself.
Cage my soul with sins,
Restrain my ideals,
Drain my thoughts away,
Pain is here to stay.


4. TOMORROW

One day of grace
I left everything behind, I never came back again
I followed all the dreams
Hidden behind the mountains of the unknown I will have to face...

My hopes all raised
Across the oceans of time, I thought I would find you there
Today I stand alone,
I realize all the sacrifices they all brought me to nothing...

Yesterday was filled
Filled with hopes and dreams
Tomorrow has gone away
Far away...

My thoughts, my will
And every sense that’s around are going to vanish here
Over a thousand years
Someone will find my body without grave, his own destiny he’ll face...

Yesterday was filled
Filled with hopes and dreams
Tomorrow has gone away
Far away...

Yesterday was filled
Filled with hopes and dreams
Tomorrow has gone away
Far away...

Yesterday was filled
Filled with hopes and dreams
Tomorrow has gone away
Far away...


5. MARCH OF TIME

Time flows like sand through your fingers
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
One life, too short like a whisper
Hours of lust, joy and pain

Years passing by before your eyes
Who is mastering your life?

Rain falls filling your eyes with tears
Nothing you saw, nothing you heard
Things are not always what they seem
And from the past, you’ll maybe learn

Years passing by before your eyes
Who is mastering your life?

Feeling the tides of your life,
The things you had they took back.
Feeling the tides of your life,
The things you had, they took back inside.
Feeling the tides of your life,
The things you had they took back.
Feeling the tides of your life,
The things you had, they took back inside.

Pain is a road where you will find
The things you lost crying on your life
Your wrinkled face accuse the facts
Did you think the day will come so fast?

Years passing by before your eyes
Running are the sands of time.


6. THE SWAMP

In search for brighter tomorrows,
You shall walk alone
To a land where the sun shines,
So bright it’s burning your eyes.
You imagine a life with no more pain ;
You would run and fly away, I bet.
Escape all your fears,loneliness and tears,
Find happiness,but you’re moving back and ...

You’re walking...
Early morning through this cold land .
Early morning and it’s raining...
The rain will color your sadness.
And the thoughts that pull you under
Are calling you stronger in this dark place.

In search for brighter tomorrows,
You still walk alone.
And here the sun no more shines,
It’s only dust in your eyes...

And could you imagine life was so full of pain?
It’s a swamp where the things we don’t share,
All the dreams you raise,all the moves you take
Are drowning so deep, you’re still moving back and ...

You’re walking...
Early morning through this cold land .
Early morning and it’s raining...
The rain will color your sadness.
And the thoughts that pull you under
Are calling you stronger in this dark place.

Hopes belong to the past, you’re trying to find a way.
What are the things you will find, what is the price you will pay?
You didn’t come here for nothing , my friend ...Oh no...
Now the call of the wild has become the call of pain,
Now the things you believed have passed away ;
You are walking alone, and you are still searching...Oh yeah...

You’re walking all alone, it’s your life you are playing.
You’re walking all alone,and it’s forever that you bleed .
You’re walking all alone,under the rain you’re crying .
You’re walking all alone,the end of the way you’ll never see...

In search for brighter tomorrows,
You still walk alone.
And here the sun no more shines,
It’s only dust in your eyes...


7. LE HORLA

I’m watching the sun going down
And I get the strange impression,
The feeling that somebody is around,
Stealing my dreams and my reason...

Seems like something lurks in the dark , waiting for its time.
Sometimes I can feel it around, tormenting my nights.
Some fears which I cannot define are entering my life.
To me everything is a lie, but I know that you are alive.

Mais dis moi pourquoi es-tu toujours là,
Toi le Horla, tu me tueras.
So please tell me why you stay out of sight,
I know you are drinking from my life.
I can feel your cold breath and your weight upon my chest,
Kill me while I sleep.
If I don’t hallucinate, my salvation I await.
Fire will take you right to your grave.

Somehow, it is always behind,
My deeds are not mine.
Someday I’ll be able to fight,
But I’ve got no faith to put into the strike.

I can feel your strengh and your wild embrace, Doing your things all right.
If I begin to be afraid,
Then I’ll make sure I’m not insane...

Mais dis moi pourquoi es-tu toujours là,
Toi le Horla, tu me tueras.
So please tell me why you stay out of sight,
I know you are drinking from my life.
I can feel your cold breath and your weight upon my chest,
Kill me while I sleep.
If I don’t hallucinate, my salvation I await.
Fire will take you right to your grave.

Jamais je n’aurais pensé une chose aussi insensée,
La notion de vérité se perd dans l’éternité.
Tu veux t’emparer de tout ce que j’ai, de ma vie, ma liberté.
Je ne suis pas fou, je suis possédé, ce soir je me sens si abandonné.

Night will follow the day
And will I close my eyes for always?
When there’s no other way
I will forgive you all the sorrow you gave...
I will forgive you all the sorrow you gave...
I will forgive you all the sorrow you gave...

Mais dis moi pourquoi es-tu toujours là,
Toi le Horla, tu me tueras.
So please tell me why you stay out of sight,
I know you are drinking from my life.
I can feel your cold breath and your weight upon my chest,
Kill me while I sleep.
If I don’t hallucinate, my salvation I await.
Fire will take you right to your grave.
