Gravity

Woke up in a nightmare.
Terrified, blinded and naked in the air.
People await for my crying
and some air goes out crying to make room for the first breath of my life.
There was light
pushing its way in into my eyes
like a blade that tears the flesh apart, straight to the heart.
Hands holding me,
they cut me off to isolate me.
I am forced to breathe.
I surrendered my lungs to the unknown aura
and world rushed inside.
Oh, my God, it's freezing cold!
I feel every drop of blood.
Please, let me go back... Noooo!
I was flying.
Now nothing seems like flying anymore.
Gravity is deciding.
It will keep me down climbing.
A small piece of time,
for a future sacrifice.
Two warm hands, two magnets of nature
holding me tight.
Evergreen the love and the burden carried inside.
The mother:
"Come to me my blood and my flower,
my beat of my heart.
Don't be afraid, nothing in the world will tear us apart."
The child:
"Why did you wake me up to this?
why did you take my wings away?
why?
did you believe that you would live twice?"

Violence and money, sex and politics
Everyone is getting right in the mix
People move around,
mindless machine is breathing,
nothing left within
Maybe you'll be a queen some day,
maybe you'll find a way to lessen the pain
But don't forget your master,
the one that holds your chain
Pawn in a game of chess,
In a game of chess
A suicidal king in huge distress
Pawn in a game of chess
Ask yourself, did you get any of this
When you're trying to shout out your amends
This world has somehow to be left alone
just to set us free
Don't forget you'll be a queen some day,
maybe you'll find a way to lessen the pain
But don't forget your master,
the one that holds your chain
Pawn in a game of chess,
In a game of chess
A suicidal king in huge distress
Pawn in a game of chess
A suicidal king in huge distress
A suicidal king in huge distress
Pawn in a game of chess,
In a game of chess
A suicidal king in huge distress
Pawn in a game of chess

Tidal Wave
04:36
|
|
||
|
Trying to start a fire
with some rusty tools
in an empty desert
Waiting for some rain
like a hungry zombie
craving for some brain
But the wind is blowing
Right by my side
And the stars are shining
Beautiful and bright
in a dead cold tidal wave
caught down there
ravaged, in despair!

I Wait for Things to End

The old man looked around
A boy was standing there
"It's been a while" he said and he walked by.
"Wait", the young man said
"there are things left unsaid.
You may not know it but they lead you to despair"
"I wait for things to end"
- Wake up, get dressed and go my life was.
- Is that so? I think that I will have to disagree. You laughed it all away. You found your own way of loving things around you. Why don't you want to stay?“
- I wait for things to end.
Who am I when nothing feels the same no more?
All I lived, does it go away?
Do I die along with every song that I have sung?
(Do I) fade away?
- Please stay!
- I wait for things to end.
