• In the end / Never the same

  • Lyrics

    In the end

    I wait all day
    For night to come
    I want to reach out
    To find new dreams

    In the end I hear your laughter
    It is all I do

    Never the same

    When it first began
    I saw you everywhere

    It is quiet now
    There is nothing left
    The wind has gone to sleep
    I'm dying to be free

    Beautiful you were
    Like a piece of sky

    Never the same
    Keep moving on

• The carneval is over

  • Lyrics

    "The carneval is over" - written by Gerrard/Perry

• I'll stay

  • Lyrics

    I’ll stay

    We had a dream
    Don’t let it die

    Every tear disappears in the morning sun

    Don’t throw stones
    That’s not allowed

    Every tear disappears in the morning sun

    I’ll stay
    Even though my time has gone
    I’ll stay
    I’m digging up my soul

    The names have changed
    It’s just begun

    Every tear disappears in the morning sun

    Ain’t that enough
    The sky falls

    Every tear disappears in the morning sun

    I’ll stay
    Even though my time has gone
    I’ll stay
    I’m digging up my soul

• Singing in the graveyard

  • Lyrics

    Singing in the graveyard

    Look here!
    The king of death
    He is waiting for the time
    When we all have finally destroyed ourselves

    When we finally put an end to our agony
    It's his joyful day
    And after all he is singing in the graveyard

    It's so funny how he can dance
    He had to wait such a long time
    "Now it's all mine!"

• Never again

  • Lyrics

    Never again

    Coming close to my last thought of you
    Threw away my last chains
    Never again
    Never again
    Life

    Here i stand far from you
    Try to leave all the dreams that i believed in

    Drew the blinds
    I close my eyes
    Hard to leave you
    Threw away my last chains

    Never again
    Never again
    Life

    Somehow i still love you
    But i try to free myself

• Moonchild

  • Lyrics

    "Moonchild" - written by Fripp/McDonald/Lake/Giles/Sinfield

• Leave me

  • Lyrics

    Leave me

    You are wasting time with me
    Please get stuffed and let me free
    You have only hate above
    You destroy the things you love

    Now!
    Come on, leave me now!
    Try to find out how
    Hurry up and leave me, right now
    Please!
    Come on, leave me now
    I feel like throwing up
    So kiss my ass, good bye
    Leave me!
    You had plans to break me down
    Tried it with an angry frown
    Now I’m fed up with your lies
    Play your games with other guys

• Heart of darkness

  • Lyrics

    Heart of darkness

    The heart of darkness
    So clear and true
    It waits for me someday
    I can feel it coming

    Standing in the shadows
    Can’t breathe the air

    You can hardly feel
    The day won’t last
    Where has everybody gone?
    They left you with nothing

    Standing in the shadows
    Can’t breathe the air

• How long

  • Lyrics

    How long

    How long do you have to suffer?
    How long to you have to yearn?
    How long will they respect you?
    How long will you survive?

    Do you know how far this has gone?
    Just a shadow of yourself you have become
    When I think of you
    It becomes even deeper

    How long will it take to become one?
    To become one with this fake?
    How long do I have to wait for you?
    To wait for you, loosing fear?

    Do you know how far this has gone?
    Just a shadow of yourself you have become
    When I think of you
    It becomes even deeper

• Like mine

  • Lyrics

    Like mine

    Warm me till I die
    The only wish I have
    Doubts until the end
    The only gift I get

    Use me till I fade
    Fading like green eyes
    With a dying soul
    Like mine

    Waste me till it hurts
    The pain that I deserve
    Wound me as you like
    Worms will eat me away

    Use me till I fade
    Fading like green eyes
    With a dying soul
    Like mine

    There’s no sense in it
    Words are useless
    My arms are reaching out
    For my mind leaving

• I still miss you

  • Lyrics

    I still miss you

    See your picture with the smile
    That I still miss
    Never fade away
    You’re still a part of bliss

    If only I told you
    That I needed you
    That you’re a part of bliss
    Before you ceased to be

    It’s not fair of you
    To hide behind that smile
    I just want you to come back to life
    For a while

    If only I embraced you
    Or just talked to you
    If only you said good bye
    Before you ceased to be

    If only I told you
    How much I needed you
    If only you said good bye
    It wouldn’t be so hard

• Undoing / Farewell

  • Lyrics

    Undoing

    Hold your breath
    My love
    Undoing comes your way
    Share the prime of life
    Before I disappear

    I’m fading to grey
    Don’t throw me away
    I’m pining away
    Don’t leave me

    Farewell

    Now here you are
    How dear you are
    See the morning sun
    A life for welth to bring
    See the morning sun
    Enough of the pain

    Now here you are
    So frail you are
    Early morning air
    We are born again
    Now I want to breathe
    Enough of the pain

    That ain’t me, no
    Farewell

    See the morning sun
    A wealthy life to come
    We are born again
    Enough of the pain

    That ain’t me, no
    Farewell

    Put your arms around
    Dancing
    Dance around
    You still thrill me
    Then you heal me

• Joke

  • Lyrics

    Joke

    Call in to my silence
    Failing that there’s no sound
    My home Is where they stay
    Here or everywhere
    They sought to kill him
    The hole life’s a joke
    When we fail in the end

    Call in to my senses

• Salvation

  • Lyrics

    Salvation

    Now that it’s over
    Love’s only sleeping
    Break it down
    What kind of tale
    I’m tiered of listening

    I see people crying
    There is no sense in lying
    Where does love come from

    Take my freedom
    Don’t you taste it

    It’s not a part of you
    Bring me salvation if I fear

    Finally you will fall
    You’re caught in the end
    Funny how we blind ourselves

• Crush

  • Lyrics

    Crush

    Hear the sound
    Of a million unspoken words
    See the light
    Of a million suns
    Feel the breath
    Of a million souls
    See the drifting
    Of a million thoughts
    Like clouds
    Lost at a walk in space
    Dreams destroyed by doubts

    I crush you
    With my dreams
    Never wanted to crush you

• My ship's on fire

  • Lyrics

    "My ship's on fire" - written by Butler/Irvine/Reid

• Nothing wrong

  • Lyrics

    Nothing wrong

    When we meet this time
    Things will be just fine
    Or maybe divine

    Cause we're older now
    Realized somehow
    That we left our fear

    So we both belong
    To a different song
    This time there's nothing wrong

    When we meet this time
    Things will be just fine
    Or even divine

• Follow me

  • Lyrics

    Follow me

    I’m ready to leave
    The path is clear
    Follow me
    I’ll go through all this
    I’m not afraid to lose
    Follow me

    Side by side
    We fly away
    We’re strong
    Even the storm
    Cannot prevent us
    From getting away

    Good bye sweethearts
    You can follow me
    Good night sweethearts
    We’re not to be reached

    I’m trapped in myself
    It treats me softly
    Follow me
    It doesn’t hurt
    D’you know how long
    Follow me

• Home now

  • Lyrics

    Home now

    That's my will
    You can have it all
    Cause you're the one I loved
    Until I heard them call
    I can still feel you even so far away
    After I'm gone

    I'd like to stay
    But I couldn't stay longer
    I heard them call
    I tried so hard to hide
    I'll become the sky
    As clear as day
    After I'm gone

    Home now
    All begins

• The world you never reach

  • Lyrics

    The world you never reach

    Come an stay with me
    Hold me close
    Sleep and twine
    Inside we’re all alone

    Show me where I stand
    I’m not here
    I’m not there
    Inside we’re all alone

    The world you never reach
    Is deep inside my heart
    The world you never reach
    Is deep inside here
    Hided behind a wall
    Of countless fears
