Conference of the Wolves
04:24
|
|||
|
this forest is alive
just look into the dark
and see their shiny eyes
burning like a fire
there's no use going back
i've covered up the tracks
so no one, could follow me
this far
i've hidden from the wolves
they've gathered in my home
and now i've found them back
eating from inside
they stare right at my face
they know it's not my place
they're lonely just like me
the conference of the wolves
has come to my front door
their hunger is my faith

The Village
03:28

|
he reached a place so full of all these lights
and all the people stopped their daily fights
they looked at him as if he was an angel
and felt his sadness like it was their own
he realized that this was like his home
that everyone around was full of love
and he hugged the first of them that came before him
and all of the were happy to exist
oooohhh it's just a dream
oooohhh it's fiction, not real, not me
and in this place, the wolfboy realized
that everything in life has many sides
just like these people standing right before him
so varied, so rich in every way
the old man took a step into his eyes
and found out there was more than just a sad boy
he held his face against the crippled shoulder
and wolfboy just cried and became colder
oooohhh it's just a dream
oooohhh it's fiction, not real, not me
(waking up)
maybe it's not a dream
they're so real the things he's seen
it seems an illusion, but after the storm
it's simplicity he feels
his heart turned to blazing light
his feet lifted from the ground
and through his ascension, the people were too
in flames with their purest smiles
this is the end of all
winter, spring, summer, fall
he finally found his place
among the whole human race

Wild Horse
03:50
|
|||
|
she came from far away
from a land with wild horses and castles
i thought she had run away
searching freedom, getting free of her shackles
her silhouette of elegant spring
spreads perfume wherever she passes
her looks of exotic distinction
make a fuss all throughout the masses
and oh, she danced
and her hair floating on
and oh, she smiled
and I fell for her
there's something so right about her
like it was meant to be in a story
the fat lady singing has said
don't you miss all the fame and the glory
no wild horse will come to take me
and mistake me for his favourite rider
that's just the way things should be
I guess i'm the lonely wolf, the outsider
and oh, she's there
with her mesmerizing glare
and oh, she smiled
and I fell for her

Wasteland
05:31
|
|||
|
the wasteland is vast
we've hunted them all
but there's not one left
to build love once more
it's hard to be here
and witness the emptiness
but life is a temptress
that drains all the good things, oh
it's hard to accept
the beasts we are now
we've made such big promises
and failed them somehow, oh
it's easy to think
of wild boars and wolves
but nothing will bring back
the warmth to our clothes
(wolfboy runs through the wasteland)
i've seen them running through the darkness
i've seen them sailing in the rain
i've seen them hiding in their wardrobes
they're scared nothing will be the same
i've seen them shooting other people
i've seen them feeding on their kin
i've seen them desperate and lonely
they're scared nothing will be the same
(the bombs start falling from the sky)

The Roman Empire
03:38
|
|||
|
it was once an empire, the romans
they had a great empire, the romans
it fell down, collapsed
all the stones turned to dust
he was once a great man, mahatma
he was once a great one, beethoven
they're all gone, they died
they're six feet underground
it was the edge of technology, sputnik
it was once the final frontier into space
it fell down, ten thousand feet per second
its remains, in the bottom of the sea
it was once a great love, ours
we lived for each other, our souls touched and danced in the air
and now you don't even know me
and you say the same words to someone else
you stroll through the places, that once were our own
and no thought about me, comes up
nothing stays forever
(everything goes, everything goes)
nothing stays forever
(everything goes, everything goes)
only memories remain
until the wind blows them away

Always You
02:39
|
|||
|
there's always something about you
that I keep inside and gives me all those truths
it's always you
and I walk through tall grass, searching you
but find the women that don't do what you do
it's always you
and you are truth
feeding my desires
and you are blues
killing me inside
and I am doomed
to say goodbye to you
and if you are you
then I know no more truth
and I feel your body close to mine
in those cold wintery nights, I touch you too
it's always you
and I blow you a kiss from the train
but the window is full of rain and you'll leave soon
it's always you
(chorus)
and I am sure the plans I have for you
are sillier than anything i'll do
it's always you
but somehow there is a hope that
I won't need to do voodoo to get to you
maybe I should
(chorus)

We Fall...
05:12
|
|||
|
i fall through the ground
like i'm drowning in a sea of grass
i've stumbled at the death of love
and it's not a pretty sight to see
the colors have all disappeared
and left a trail of lingering
you fall by my side
cos' you failed me like I did to you
it's not like we'll meet down here
it's been miles and miles away
this fate is all that's left to cry
and try to climb out
we cease to exist
when there's nothing to be said again
and words just fall out of the edge
they melt in our own mouths
their meaning can't be understood
just leave them be
and now it's the end
we turn our backs and leave in silence
you don't look back and I don't care
that's how distant we feel
the path is big, we'll meet again
just to say goodbye

Rituals of Plants
04:26

|
uhm-la ieri emba oh-no, uhm-la ieri emba oh-no
uhm-la dari saromberi, uhm-la dari saromberi
the knowledge of the plant
feeds our souls with joy
their chants are mystic words
where have they come from?
it's sacred, their voice
it's all their existence, rejoice
it's all of a different world
beyond your sense and sight, it unfolds
yambara, yambara, yambara, yambara
uhm-basana, uhm-basana, uhm-basana, uhm-basana
uhm-bara yambara, uhm-bara yambara, uhm-bara yambara
eh lamba ya, eh lamba ya
they're calling you, you must join
let go of your thoughts, and learn
it's sacred, their voice
it's all their existence, rejoice
it's all of a different world
beyond your sense and sight, it unfolds
uhm-la ieri emba oh-no, uhm-la ieri emba oh-no
uhm-la dari saromberi, uhm-la dari saromberi

the taste of her hair
is bitter in his mouth
like dirt from the ground
of the forests down south
clear and white
is her skin in the light
like milk from the trees
in a bed of leaves
her blood runs bright
as red as the sea
she had no choice
when her lovely voice
was silenced by the birds
flowers bloomed out
of her lovely mouth
where love used to speak
"come on little girl
follow me once more
if you can't be mine
we'll die in this shore"
that's what he said
to bring her to death
he took his own life
as she had her last breath
the story ends in silence
with both dead on the sand
may this be a lesson
life should stay above love

i held you in my arms tonight
and I woke up and you weren't there anymore
you disappeared and left your body behind
i'll feed it to the sharks
i looked so deeply into your eyes
and I thought I saw a sparkle way behind
but it's probably reflection of the light
except everything is dark
are you there? I can't see you!
did you leave? I didn't hear you!
if you're gone without saying,
then I guess I'm all alone
see you later alligator,
or maybe not, get out of my sight
I don't know what I am saying
but I guess you should go now
we tried, it didn't work
we cried and we got hurt
that's life, we've had enough
of ourselves
I dreamt again of you last night
and I gave you my hand, you started to bite
well, I learned that the next time we'll meet outside
I'll certainly wear gloves
I saw you last week dressed in white
and you were shining, oh you were so bright
it's ironic, I must be becoming blind
or maybe I'm a fool
are you there? I can't see you!
did you leave? I didn't hear you!
if you're gone without saying,
then I guess I'm all alone
see you later alligator,
or maybe not, get out of my sight
I don't know what I am saying
but I guess you should go now
we tried, it didn't work
we cried and we got hurt
that's life, we've had enough
of ourselves

Revelations
03:38
|
|||
|
did you hear the cry of a bird,
when your own voice may sound absurd,
are the both of you using the sound,
to be heard.
have you felt the cold of the wind,
on your legs before you have sinned,
just hang upside down and wait for the knife,
to be skinned.
it's alright, i'm here,
there's nothing, to fear,
i'm your veneer.
is your body stuck to your soul,
have you constantly lost control,
you're beyond repair, you're a black hole,
dark as coal.
are you scared that this world will change,
you can't touch what's out of your range,
and after a while you start to believe,
everything's strange.
it's alright, i'm here,
there's nothing, to fear,
i'm your veneer.

Glass Antlers

today I saved my own life
before I could talk to myself
before I could look in the mirror
and see who I am
I looked at the stars
they came burning down
into the house
we used to make love in
where are the deer
I am hunting alone
for the love that I've lost
for the sacred and strong
where is the rabbit
it slipped through my hands
like the love that I've lost
like the vanishing sands
where is the wild boar
he's noble and strong
like my feelings for you
like this beautiful song
where is the pheasant
his beauty is great
like your own in the night
like our heartbroken fate
I failed to become
what you had expected
the stone becomes heavy
and I cannot hold
the night covers all
with a silent darkness
the animals run away
and I'm left alone
(chorus)

Wayfarer
04:54
|
|||
|
there's more to getting lost,
than just vanishing
it's a trick of the mind,
an illusion.
just brambles and thorns,
way ahead
behind, all the things
you can't stare at.
uuuh, it's hard to find yourself
when everything is crumbling
around you
uuuh, look at everyone else
they're looking like their lives are running perfect
not like you
you wanted to disappear
inside the magician's hat
now you're coming near
to just waste your time, with us
the white rabbits
you faked your own death,
for them to believe you were gone
and now inside the coffin
you think "what have I done
to deserve this?"
there are secrets all around
to be found
it's a mystery world
we live in
the sound of the wolves,
lonely hounds
can speak of the things
you are bound to
uuuh, it's time to go back home
and tell your father
all the little details of beauty
uuuh, the journey has been long
but following the crumbles that fell out of you
you find it
the wayfarer...
the wayfarer...
uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

katie, have you heard about chemistry?
i know it's not your field, but i'm sure it is for real,
it's all around us
katie, have you heard about space?
the distance is enourmous,
but there are intertwining planes that unfold it all before us
bring me with you to the moon,
i promise i won't play the fool.
i will be breathing that stardust, and feeling the bliss,
of orbiting all around you
and bring me you to the moon,
we'll go exploring beyond all the rules,
and maybe hunting for comets, spaceships and planets
doesn't it sound fun to you?
oh, it's easy to drift along
when gravity is zero
and nothing holds you on
oh, undiscovered galaxy,
i've seen you only once,
but I drew you on a chart.
oh, i could've named you after
my own personal passions
but i'd rather call you "one*
and now, your light is gone
you're many lightyears away
and I have stopped my search
katie, have you heard any songs,
that talk about two people
and their own chemical prequel,
to a space travel?

Fountain of Youth
04:42

fountain of youth
it is true
you are real
I found you
and all that they said
about you
held its truth
cos' your flame burns so blue
your eyes are black pearls
and when they shine with your light
I get lost
it's so bright
your hair is black as night
but it soon will get white
i don't care
i want you in my sight
fountain of youth
you rejuvenate me
when you're near
i don't fear
uuuuuuuuuuh,
i drink from you
until you're gone
my thirst is on
you feel like a mirage
you can't be real
but still you're there
with your heart in place to steal
there will be many miles
between our roads
we'll keep in touch
I won't let go
your eyes are black pearls
and when they look into mine
I feel divine
they're like a shrine
your hair is black as night
and when it moves in flight
I close my eyes
and feel like I'm alive
fountain of youth
you rejuvenate me
when you're near
i don't fear

Tell Me Lies
03:07
|
|||
|
a cloudy gloomy sky will chase me
following the rotation of the earth
when you're not with me
and all the colors that I know
will blur into a single shade of grey
because you don't stay
I know the world is beautiful
but how can it be beautiful
after you've disappeared?
oh, tell me all the lies you want
maybe i'll believe them one day
maybe you're confused alright
but i still deserve to listen those words
that you keep inside
babe, our story is beautiful
how did it turn into something
none of us fully understands?
I know the world is beautiful
but how can it be beautiful
after you've disappeared?
oh, tell me all the lies you want
maybe i'll believe them one day
-
keep feeding me your sweetness
but i really hate the bitter aftertaste
that comes with the absence of your kiss
it kinda breaks my heart to know
i love you so and you do love me too
but promises dont last
I know the world is beautiful
but how can it be beautiful
after you've disappeared?
oh, tell me all the lies you want
maybe i'll believe them one day
i daydream of the day that
you'll be mine and i can feel you once again
your body, soul and heart
but that day seems so far away
that dreams become like ashes in the wind
sad sparks of burning love
i know the world is beautiful
but it could be more beautiful
if only you were mine
tell me all the lies you want
but i'm a fan of truth
you know i'll wait

Fallen Stars
05:03

|
fallen stars from the sky
have come to say goodbye
and I wave at them
they fly by my window
they shine with light
so bright it makes my eyes
slightly blind
and i can't say goodbye to them
but they pass in an instant
and they won't come back
they're ephemeral
just like me
they will die
like you and me
