1. GRIEF AND PAIN

You think you’re strong enough
To kill another man,
You think you know all about war
From the TV screen.

You grow in confidence
With the cold touch of your gun,
You saw it in your dreams
you being brave enough.

You know this day will come
you‘ll taste a foreign ground,
Dry sand will blow in your eyes
Every breath could be your last.
Somewhere on barren land
With an open shotgun wound,
You will find the way in your life
With the wisdom of hindsight.

Your face,
fake smile,
your grief,
won’t die.

Set your face against decay
Our life is marked by grief and pain
Hearts go wild with no end in sight.

You think this world is made
Only for sturdy men,
You won’t shed any tears
Over dying weak-kneed kings.
Every day you say a prayer
With close wall around your heart,
You must do it for yourself
Find the space in your inside.

In the fortress of your life
No-one can cross the line,
It’s hard to live without
Love and intimate stuff.
When you create your cage
In the vacuum of your life,
You deny happiness
To you and someone else.

Your face,
fake smile,
your grief,
won’t die.

Set your face against decay
Our life is marked by grief and pain
Hearts go wild with no end in sight.


2. GARDEN

The noise of dark deep space wakes me from a dream
The sun rays coming with the first breath of a new day
The scraps of mellow dream are swirling in my mind
My sorrow is breaking through dim calmness of my heart

My eyes are open wide my might is on the wane
I don’t believe that I can face another day
I can’t collect my thoughts I try to close my eyes
Like through the looking glass I lost myself in the night

Calmness is my undoubted sign
Within four walls pain of my heart
And gloomy dawn over my fears
In the garden of my mellow dreams

I will never lose the shadows of my mind
When I keep in my heart the brightness of your eyes
How to right myself in my lonely life
when I look for your face in my mind

I let my dullness ride I try to live my life
Like in a secret room you still dwell in my heart
I try to brace myself to stand the test of time
I’m waiting for my dream, below the cloudy sky

Calmness is my undoubted sign
Within four walls pain of my heart
And gloomy dawn over my fears
In the garden of my mellow dreams

I will never lose the shadows of my mind
When I keep in my heart the brightness of your eyes
How to right myself in my lonely life
when I look for your face in my mind


3. MISERY

Wandering the world
I saw you
at the crossroads
of my life.

Late into the night
I’m talking to you
I pray for you
In my mind.

Waiting for you in my dreams.

Every single day
I look for you
I need you
in my life.

It’s about time
I’m standing at your door
the hallway is cold
like your heart.

Waiting for you in my dreams.


4. SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS

You work your way up
every day you try
to make life worth living
Aiming for the top

You never want to stop
The day of glory is waiting

Living on the edge
You still hold the stage
You don’t want to retire.
You run for dear life
Standing in the first line
It’s your heart’s desire

Hey stray!
Happiness is only the way.
It will all dissipate
When you succeed in the end.
When you get it all.
When you don’t want more
You feel like the lowest of the low.

Straight way of your life
how not to waste time
when the days are running. .
Wide eyes of the world
look at you with pride
(your) lucky star’s still shining.

6. BAD INCITEMENTS

Still in your life
On dangerous ground
The vicious world is bad enough

The rotten men
Creeps up on you
Look in her eyes to stay alive

She takes your mind off the lying voice
Whispering white waterfall
She must be truth only you know
In the midst of bad incitements.

As time goes by
Your skin grows hard
The light which heats you is on the wane

In a lonely cell
In a voiceless shout
Beg for the next gaze of her eyes

She takes your mind off the lying voice
Whispering white waterfall
She must be truth only you know
In the midst of bad incitements.


7. BONDS OF FEAR

Deep in sadness of her eyes
Like in a scrapbook of her mind
She tried to find
Pieces of her life.

She was walking her own ways
Like a flower maimed for life
From time to time
She averted her gaze from the glass.

In the shadow of big words
like in the desert dried with sun
you search in white sand
for the shape of your trace.

It is a strange feeling to be
The prisoner of someone’s life
You drown in your heart
The wish for see the light.

Bonds of fear fast tightened on you
You should try to face the truth
you don’t know what is good for you
Being in what should be over you

With a fake smile on your face
You mask fresh sore on your lips
At any time
You can easily explain this

I can well believe it now
That you can’t break free from his life
Having no dreams
You die every day of your time.

Bonds of fear fast tightened on you
You should try to face the truth
you don’t know what is good for you
Being in what should be over you


8. PROPHECY

The dawn of a new day
Shines through the cloudy sky
Over the river of human dreams
Hangs a blanket of mist.

In cracks of rock
Fiery anger seethes from the depth
Scarlet mantle of fierce waves
Swamps the Earth.

The God’s good face
Changed by false prophets
Becomes a bloody implement of war
In madman’s hands.
On city streets
People live in dread of death
In grey masks over dumb faces
Lack of faith in a new day.

Will the day come when the planets and stars
Will make a sign in the sky
In hundreds of verses this hazy sense
Is there more to it than meets the eye?
The crowd staring at the black of the night
Does time go to the end there?
The fate hammers names on stony boards
There is no way to see it’s hand.

Day after day
Our time passes unobserved
In the mirror of glass-cases
The traces of the past years.
At some future date
Out of touch with reality
Like white spirits floating across the sky
We will go with time.

Will the day come when the planets and stars
Will make a sign in the sky
In hundreds of verses this hazy sense
Is there more to it than meets the eye?
The crowd staring at the black of the night
Does time go to the end there?
The fate hammers names on stony boards
There is no way to see it’s hand.
