The Angel Lies Dying

THE ANGEL LIES DYING
still
under the willow tree
the shade gives relief
chill
the eyes no longer see
the heart no longer believes
as the angel lies dying
the ivy church stands still
all the lies that he’s been told
they mean condemnation
all the promises they broke
and no explanations
should he stand or should he fall
his life has just been taken
he forsaken
cold
recalling all the words
of fascination
bold
but words were all but true
it all came out of the blue
as the angel lies dying
the ivy church stands still
all the lies that he’s been told
they mean condemnation
all the promises they broke
and no explanations
should he stand or should he fall
his life has just been taken
he forsaken
forsaken, forsaken, forsaken
forsaken, forsaken, forsaken
forsaken, forsaken, forsaken
should i break instead of fixing?
(you have no nerve for that)
should i stand against the wall?
(i don't shoot the dead)
do you feel there’s something missing
(there's nothing out there)
all this town is growing poor
(listen)
lies are spoken
faith is lost
wings have broken
that’s what you’ve got
forsaken!
all the lies that he’s been told
they mean condemnation
all the promises they broke
and no explanations
should he stand or should he fall
his life has just been taken
he forsaken

don’t believe the things they say
‘bout the tears of nights like this
it’s a waving flag they lay
to hide their dryness and cowardice
black asphalt shallow drowning
as the sky runs blue again
now i hear the wind is howling
now i feel another pain
ignore the crowd
but don’t forget to fear them
‘cause they’ll tear you down
find yourself in someone else
but act like you haven’t found
should we talk about the weather?
should we talk about our lives?
do you want to know my fears?
do you want to know my secret strife?
don’t believe the things they say
‘bout the tears of nights like this
it’s a waving flag they lay
to hide their dryness and cowardice
black asphalt shallow drowning
as the sky runs blue again
now i hear the wind is howling
now i feel another pain
are you ok?
there’s something new and wrong
there’s nothing and too much
stand up and hail
the long-awaited joybringer
the straws to clutch
some of them build walls and flowers
that they never can get through
walls and flowers fill the city
but they can’t find the words to explain you
don’t believe the things they say
‘bout the tears of nights like this
it’s a waving flag they lay
to hide their dryness and cowardice
black asphalt shallow drowning
as the sky runs blue again
now i hear the wind is howling
now i feel another pain
don’t spare the details
‘cause there’s no reason why
i still remember when
our visions filled the sky
now i can’t see reality
or even dreams
innocents want innocence
innocents call innocence
innocents want innocence
innocents call innocence…

Only Blue

ONLY BLUE
there is something that still shines
now and then in firing lines
the ancient places where you and i were born
whirl and burn in light
whirl and will be torn
not far away from here
not far away from here
man is screaming in the desert
man is silent in the crowd
and when he sees no one is bleeding
he can only scream out loud
drowning in the holy sands
beauty never lived where we used to live
she never lived at all,
she never saw us for she was
so far away from here
so far away from here
man is screaming in the desert
man is silent in the crowd
and when he sees that no one’s bleeding
he knows that he can only scream out loud
you’ve gone
and bad things are still alive
i called the stars
but they ran blind
so stay where you’re safe
i don’t need you
those days i’ve lost
were only blue

CAGED
I) consternation
(instrumental)
II) annihilation
kings and servants all lined up to hunt us down
taking every single thing they see around
everyone enchanted by their speaking tongues
breathing bad perfumes and dust to fill our lungs
'till choking
trade my something for your nothing
waking from a slumber to sleep again
and again...
singing loud fake hallelujahs going nowhere
thrown to waste
far from grace
we're caged birds under a sky that wants us free
it's so strange no one is willing to escape this misery
trade my something for your nothing
waking from a slumber to sleep again
and again...
singing loud fake hallelujahs for this wasteland
dead in pain
dead in vain
III) gravitation
i'd rather be somewhere else when the world explodes
i'd rather be somewhere else when the world explodes
i'd rather be somewhere else when the world explodes
i'd rather be somewhere else when the world explodes
i'd rather be somewhere else when the world explodes...
IV) exaltation

The Lord Of Empty Spaces

THE LORD OF EMPTY SPACES
i’m the lord of empty spaces
lord of their itineraries
i know their secrets
from the mountains to the seas
sunlight flows and water shines
memories that i call mine
i’m the king of lonely places
and everything in my world
i know him well
as the sun knows how to turn around
new days come and colours rhyme
memories that i call mine
i’m the lord of empty spaces
breathing in the crimson sky
i comfort the sunset,
dry the teardrops of sunrise
the river sings his ancient song
words that bring a little hope
i love to listen to the words that push me through
(see me so high)
i won’t even need to cry when i die
i’m the king of broken places
and everything that's in my world
flowers speak of wisdom
but the wise men set my world on fire
someone should stay up tonight
and beware of butterflies
i love to listen to the words that push me through
(see me so high)
i won’t even need to cry when i die
i love to listen to the words that push me through
(see me so high)
you won’t even need to cry when i die
in this place i contemplate
i stare in hate
everything will fall with me
i know the secrets of the wind
i know they're gonna take me home
everything will fall with me
i’m the lord of empty spaces
where no sunshine rushes in
so much it hurts me,
you don’t know how hard it is.

DESTRUCTION OF IDOLS
run
‘till you're breathless, come undone
never mind what you've become
chasing shiny rainbows
never watching what you walk upon
in my sleep the monsters come
fly in line and hide the sun
i can feel the chill of your sharp knives
can't tell when that's begun
i’m where i don't want to be
i’m the one left bleeding
don't please to then slay me with your knives
run
craving for the top, you can't stop
‘till you go astray
wear a colourful reassuring mask
you'll forget your face
bleeding hands and burning feet
souls for sale along the streets
look so hard the other way
when something wicked comes to meet
i won't listen when you call
stop my hand and let you go
i won't close my eyes, i'll watch you fall
run
‘till you're breathless, still you run
in your hand a loaded gun
chasing shiny rainbows
you don't realize what you've become
you don't know what you've become
you don't know what you've become

we wait for the end of this day
while war dominates this land
we wait for the silence
but we're afraid of the silence
shadows and flashes in the sky
we run for shelter under the sky...
