1. DANCING GREEN LIZARDS

If thoughts were dancing green lizards, words would only be their shadows

The sky was clear, it was a beautiful day
Dancing green lizards - she couldn't understand
She saw them there, she couldn't look away
But soon they disappeared like writings in the sand

She watched the lizards, she couldn't explain
Was it a dream? Was she still sane?

[Chorus]
Dancing green lizards - in the fading light
Dancing green lizards - haunt her every night
Dancing green lizards - now they're out of sight
Dancing green lizards - she will never forget

The next day she returned, but the lizards were gone
Dancing green lizards leaving no trace
She was alone there by the setting of the sun
Only their shadows were still in this place

She watched the shadows, she couldn't resist
To ask if these lizards do really exist

[Chorus]

She watched the shadows, she couldn't deny
Keeping no secrets, telling no lies

[Chorus] (x2)


2. SYNCHRONICLE

A frail child screaming its mother's name
A blind man sees again
A lonesome tear is touching palest skin
A sullen sun rising against its will

A scarlet rose standing in full bloom
A forest swallowed by flames
A woman's lips touching a baby's hand
A final jump into the night...

One moment fills a thousand books
One spark lights up the universe
One love creates a whole new life
And the stars and the sun unite...at last

[Chorus]
Death you receive - you believe in immortality
The dearest one gone - and you run towards eternity

A skeleton man yearns for a final embrace
A young eye is pierced by thorns
A pallid smile rushing over a face
A raindrop breaks on the ground of a cracked earth

A withered pink adorns a dreary grave
A sprout awakens to life
A grey man's hand is slapping a helpless face
A vein is sewed up by divine hands...

One moment fills a thousand books
One spark lights up the universe
One love creates a whole new life
And the stars and the sun unite...at last

[Chorus]

Beware the synchronicle
But behold its miracle
Adore the synchronicle
But fear its miracle


3. A MOMENTARY DREAM

"In order to define light one must have experienced darkness..."

So dark, your scent in my lungs
Your voice's promising
Sombre alto wakes my ears at once
(Now I'm blind just for you...)

Please take my hand...my fear submits
Only trust remains
Lead me to the verge of stainless sin
(Now I'm deaf just for you...)

...just for you (I swallow the words
...just for you I hollow their worlds
...just for you So pour out the words
...just for you ...Over me)

So dark so silent...so good
Neverending reverie?
Not one word disturbes our lips' moves
(Now I'm dumb just for you...)

...just for you (I swallow the words
...just for you I hollow their worlds
...just for you So pour out the words
...just for you ...Over me)

[Chorus]
Divine darkness, cover me
With your skin and with your soul
Protect me, never let me go astray
I'll reward you with the deepest fibre of my heart

Fix the ends of my straight-jacket
And bind my hand and foot
Then throw me into deepest rivers
And tell me to swim

[Chorus]

...just for you (I swallow the words
...just for you I hollow their worlds
...just for you So pour out the words
...just for you ...Over me)

[Chorus]

"... and in darkness I have dwelt"


4. TOWARDS DESOLATE OCEANS

Sparkling sounds travel the air
Fluid reflections praise the sun
A new-born brook eats its way
To seek reunion with Mother Earth ...

On and on it is floating
On its quest towards the seas
A liquid force of creation
While meandering through the woods ... through the woods

Rapids hinder this river in vain
So do cataracts
They only strengthen the river's flow
On its destined path ... destined path

Conquering wildest lands
This silver stream of life
As it is flowing towards desolate oceans

[Chorus]
From the hidden place of its spring
To the shores of its gaping mouth
It reflects the inborn circulation of time
Fish keep fighting against the tide
Yet they cannot ease its might
Life and death are becoming bonded by blood

Violent tranquillity
Of a boundless flood
Time is its ally of ruin
As it reaches for the shores of a wounded mouth

It conquered wildest lands
This silver stream of life
As it was flowing towards desolate oceans

[Chorus]
