Bittencourt : Brainworms I
Lyrics
1. DEDICATE MY SOUL
Stop
Slanders just distort the truth
Making bad things even worse
I'm sick and tired
Fed up with your lies
There's a beast under my bed
It's been haunting my conscience
Where's my notion of good and bad?
Am i losing the war?
Uh! Now the tide is turning
Good vibes are coming
Uh! I've been holding on
Now I'm Waiting no longer
You can't deny our trust is now lost
Everything decays
No regrets! Uh, where is your shame?
Am I going insane?
Uh! Now I'm on my own facing the world
Uh! There's no sense at all
I've been struggling alone
Dedicating my life
Bringing my whispers to you
Wishing this whole war was over
I'm sick and tired, fed up with the lies
Longing for a moment of truce
And until I'm dead I'll dedicate my soul
Dedicate it
Hold your fire
Get that crown off your head
Barbed wire is wrapped around my sadness
Uh! Uh! Uh! Oh
Waiting no longer
Uh! Holding on
I am fighting alone
Dedicating my life
Making your wishes come true
Wishing this whole war was over
I'm sick and tired, fed up with the lies
Longing for a moment of truce
But until I'm dead I'll dedicate my heart
When slander just distorts the truth
Making bad things even worse
Until I'm dead
I'll dedicate my life
Dedicate my mind
Dedicate my soul
Take it
2. HOLDING BACK THE FIRE
Lay down and surrender
You soldier at arms
You war will be over when you find peace inside
There ain't no way around it
No reason to fight
Life's worthwhile when you
Forget you're gonna die
For this minute I'm just fine
All my anger settles down
I'm holding back the fire
Holding back the fire
Words are washing away
Like the paths of my tears
Realigning my thoughts
Through the pages of the years
Stop making it worse
Must accept what you've got
Don't live your tomorrows
At just another day
Turn another page and live your life
And live your life
But my heart still bleeds
It's ripping the scars
I'm bearing the suffering
With thorns wounding my heart
I refuse to see
Am I going blind?
Can't run from the burning
When the smoke is in your eyes
You're the only one to be blamed
It's your own sacrifice
Stop looking for justice
That is not how it works
Don't leave for tomorrow
What you can do today
What you can do today
Is change your life
Change your life
But my heart still bleeds
Oh! It's ripping the scars
I'm bearing the suffering
With thorns wounding my heart
I refuse to see
Am I going blind?
Can't run from the burning
When the smoke is in your eyes
It's in your eyes
For this minute I'm just fine
All my anger settles down
I'm holding back the fire
Holding back the fire
That is ripping my scars
I am bearing the suffering
Holding back the fire
Beware of your anger
Your heart's still on fire
Your war can't be won until
You find some peace inside
Lay down and surrender
Your soldier at arms
Can't run from the burning
When you're holding back the fire
Now my anger settles down
3. TORMENT OF FATE
Live or die
You now have to decide
Choices are about to end
I hope you'd understand
That's the Torment Of Fate
In an age when no one cares
We don't live we just survive
Will a single soul outlast this cruel future we have?
Tomorrow could be too late
When every one is asleep I need you awake
We know the facts
The when and how
Protect our children
Teach them how to do their part now
Cease our own existence
Species calling out
Rotten ecosystems and our options running out
Tomorrow could be the end
Your future depends on what you decide today
Our fate has to be changed
Live or die
You have to decide
I hope it's not too late
When black clouds shade the day
That's the Torment Of Fate
You've got to decide
Your choices are about to end
I hope you understand
That's the torment
That's the Torment Of Fate
Live or die
You have to decide
I hope it's not too late
When black clouds shade the day
That's the Torment Of Fate
You've got to decide
Your choices are about to end
Oh please try to understand
That's the torment
That's the Torment Of Fate
4. THE DARK SIDE OF LOVE
Words whispered in my ears
Silencing my tears
Lightning up once more
The dark side of love
Fears turning into tears
Please don't say a word
The silence of your glare and the void
Coming from your stare are more then enough
Year after year
I lived in a world of make believe
I turned off the lights
Laid on my bed
The face in the mirror said I was sad
So I decided. I swored to God
One day I'll drive out these shadows of love
The dark side of love
Year after year
You write the words and I play the scene
I turn on the light
Get off the bed
Stare at the mirror but still I am sad
Make all my vows I swear to God
One day I'll drive out these shadows of love
With all my heart and all my faith
I hope it's not too late for a change
With all my heart and all my faith
I hope it's not too late for a change
For a change
Year after year
I lived in a world of make believe
Now I've decided
To howl at the world
And open the windows that lead to my soul
I've realized all on my own
That all my sorrow has finally gone
With all my heart and all my faith
I know it's not too late for a change
With all my heart and all my faith
I know it's never too late for a change
For a change
Words silencing my tears
Lightning up once more
The dark side of love
5. NIGHTFLY
Fly away
From the twilight to the dawn
All my dreams
Drag me to another world
Feels like I'm in heaven
From my head down to my toes
Right out from the shadows
Waking my deepest reflections
Clear as a photograph
An age-old yellow house
In the days
Trough the nights
I cannot let this picture out of my mind
Recalling the moments that drowned
In the ocean of my dreams
wiping the dust off the drawers inside my memories
In the days, trough the nights
I can't let go these feelings I have inside
In this Neverland I roam
In this Neverland I roam
Beams of sunlight landing on the green
Are the angels falling in disguise
Hiding and seeking the toys in the attic inside my soul
Struck in between the nightmares and dreams
And I still cannot let it go
In this Neverland I roam
In this Neverland I roam
But I know that I will come no more through that door
Ah! Daydream! Nightfly
No time to waste
Hush now, dear boy, quiet
No time to waste
Rush now, poor boy, hurry before
There is no other way out through that closing door
Over, over
Over this place I go to hide
Over, over
Now the sun is down, and your time is up
Hurry! You'll never walk away
When I'm lost in this Neverland I roam
In this Neverland I roam
Now I know I won't go through that door
'Cause I know there is no way out for me anymore
Fly away through the night
Where my spirit resides
Where sun shine in your eyes
Where dimensions collide
And the night flies, far away
To a sunny day
Some day
6. THE UNDERWORLD
Is it the end of the world?
Then who will save our souls?
Maybe the end of the world we know
And the birth of another
Is it the end of the line?
was Indigo Boy always right
About the circles of lives
Shifting the sands of our time?
Raising my head to the sky!!!
Doomsday's about to come
Stand up! No time to be numb
Answsers there I will never know
For the questions we hold
What will be waiting for us?
Raising my head to the sky
The reason we're all live: the quest for the light
Gone to the Underworld
Where secrets remain untold
Under the Twilight zone
The Underworld... The Underworld
Inside of you, unclear
The world unknow
Raising my face to the skies
Saving my faith
It's so hard to understand I've been
Riding on the edge all this time
Tracking the light
Lost in the Underworld
Where questions disturb my soul
Under the Twilight zone
The Underworld
Where secrets remain untold
Far from the world above
The Underworld... The Underworld
Is driving me insane
For who am I?
7. FADED
Long ago
Once upon a time
Our fairytale turned into a tragedy
Sppining around
The endless carousel
Beautiful sunshine then grey stormy weather
Rowing up the river's flow
As the waters shape the rocks
Heart-witness of this crime of love
What went wrong?
In our enchanted world
Where you and I would grab the falling stars
Gradually sinking in our daily lives
We've dug our graves and buried love inside
Left aside
Worn out passion
Disregarded like a broken toy
On and on along the way
As the waters reach the ocean
Doubts remaining silent in our minds
What went wrong?
Left with an empty song
You and I could break the laws of time
I would jump into the falling stars
But I don't know the reason why
Faded
What went wrong?
In our encanted world
You and I could catch the falling stars
No return. I can't go back in time
When I didn't find the words
Lost the chance to show my love
But now I know the reason why
Our love has faded into time
No one is to blame
Just like a rose it was meant to die
Faded in a vase
Memories remain
Our love has faded into time
No one is to blame
Just like a rose it was meant to die
Faded in a vase
Memories remain
Our love has faded like a rose
That's the way it goes
It was disregarded in the rain
Faded in a vase
Memories remain
Memories remain
Faded like a rose
That's the way it goes
8. SANTA TERESA
Come over! On to the virgin ground
Deep where the forest sounds
Take you away
Oh! In the woods where the countryside
Reaches for hidden skies
Escaping away
Climbing the hills and the mountains
Of Santa Teresa
Breathing the air and the blue skies of a sunny day
Blow, so strong
The winds from the mountains high
Rest at the riverside
Fading away
Go up high to a place where the waterfalls
Slide down the rock-cliff walls
Splashing away
Climbing the hills and the mountains
Of Santa Teresa
Feeling the breeze and the blue skies of a sunny day
Climbing the hills and the mountains
Of Santa Teresa
Under the thunder-blue skies of a sunny day
All my innocence was lost along the way
Another day is over
Take me to this place I always will remember
Throw all my ashes on that land
9. O PASTOR
Ai que ninguém volta
Ao que já deixou
Ninguém larga a grande roda
Ninguém sabe onde é que andou
Ai que ninguém lembra
Nem o que sonhou
Aquele menino canta
A cantiga do pastor
Ao largo
Ainda arde
A barca
Da fantasia
E o meu sonho acaba tarde
Deixa a alma de vigia
Ao largo
Ainda arde
A barca
Da fantasia
E o meu sonho acaba tarde
Acordar eu não queria
Ai que ninguém lembra
Nem o que sonhou
Aquele menino canta
A cantiga do pastor
Ao largo
Ainda arde
A barca
Da fantasia
E o meu sonho acaba tarde
Deixa a alma de vigia
Ao largo
Ainda arde
A barca
Da fantasia
E o meu sonho acaba tarde
Acordar eu não queria

12. NACIB VÉIO
Êta Nacib Véio
Meu amigo pra daná
Come farinha e macarrão até não se agüenta
Eu não sou marinheiro
Eu sou mesmo é capitão
E eu não navego por dinheiro
Meu navio é a emoção
Tia Preta tira o leite da teta da vaca
Tiroleia, tiroleia na teta da vaca
João falou pro irmão:
Adão coma o feijão!
Era boi, senta poeira boi
Era boi, senta no pó
Era boi, senta poeira boi
Era boi senta no pó, é nóis
Êta Nacib Véio
Era boi, senta poeira boi
Era boi, senta no pó
Era boi, senta poeira boi
Era boi senta no pó, é nóis
Êta Nacib Véio
É meu amigo pra daná
Seu pai morreu tão cedo lhe restou foi trabalhar
Eu não sou marinheiro
Eu sou mesmo é capitão
E eu não navego por dinheiro
Faço isto por paixão
Tia Preta tira o leite da teta da vaca
Tiroleia, tiroleia na teta da vaca
João falou pro irmão:
Adão coma o feijão
Abre a janela deixa o sol entrar
Casca de canela, aroma de chá
Raspa de tacho, cama de gato, madrugada
Bico de pato, bicho do mato, lua cheia
Pano de prato, uva no cacho, Goiabada
Briga de galo, pisa no calo, rinha cheia
Ai ai! A comida na mesa, esperando o pai
Severina e Teresa chorando
Ai, ai! Esperando o pai
Fogo de palha, morte no cais, assustada
Príncipe sapo, beijo engasgado. E a sereia
