Ancient veil
08:19
|
|||
|
A quick shadow escaping on my left
I turned to see but it had disappeared
No one, just an impression
Just a silver wind blowing
I want to see where it mingles with the clouds
There’s a window in the sky, I open and pass it through
I have no aim
Just let my feet move and listen to them
Picking up sounds of my footsteps today
I’m writing songs for someone new
Now I know silver wind in her voice
She sings all the day and days are too short
I want to see I want to raise
The ancient veil from her face
The quiet thresholds of her eyes
Show me ways not old not new
“Look through my eyes and be like transparent water
which flows on everything and lets itself be drunk”
I have no aim
Just let my feet move and listen to them
Picking up sounds of my footsteps today
I’m writing songs for someone new

Gonna make you bright
Without noise
Gonna make you bright tonight
Remembering skies and wine
That we saw together in old times
Maybe it’s the blind will
Maybe it’s your flight
I can see fields of green
All around your wings
You have seen the stars
Through your skin
You have felt inside the taste
Of water of the lake
We cannot hear a sound
From your lips
Refusing explanation now
You left too many dreams
Now dance around my slow time
When I fall
Dance around my slow time
When I’ll realise
You need the light for
The warmth so deep to reach (2 volte)
Gonna make you bright
With no screams
It’s time to live the reasons to the earth
And we’ll know so well the days
That change the call
And we’ll know the hands of time
Hold me in the dreams of light
We’ll wait for you

Creature of the lake
05:17
|

|
Pickin’ up a smooth stone
And throwin’ it into the lake
I stood and watching falling down
Circles on the water
How they form and disappear
Calling me down to the deep
And now my image
is still in silent and empty again
but someone really is calling me, just from there
Cause I’m going down and through the lake
I can breathe under water
It’s a homecoming, I feel my place
Circles on the water
How they form and disappear
Calling me down to the deep
Down here I’m free
I’ve never felt like this before
This is what I was made for, I realize
And the lights and sounds and colors here
are everything I need
A newborn soul in me as awaken
Circles on the water
How they form and disappear
Calling me down to the deep
Dancing round under the sun
Water is so sweet
Wearing moonbeams at night
And the light of the stars
And I whisper with my sisters
Sweet creature of the lake
Dancing round under the sun
Water is so sweet
Wearing moonbeams at night
And the light of the stars
And I whisper with my sisters
Sweet creature of the lake
And our songs last forever
Our lives know no time
Know no time
Circles on the water
How they form and disappear
Calling me down to the deep
Calling me down to the deep

Night thoughts

Dressing up young spires of love
Much confusion bring the fight
Peoples answers, iron melt
And I see the mask of smiles the fireworks
Wheels turn grind the grain
Force approaches the chains
And I heard the trumpet sound
Announce the sunset and the ruin
The glory of the night of steel
And I know the smell of death that dresses the room
The silver light of night
Covers all the shapes
Dressing up young spires of love
I will bring the sign of day
To break my will
Listening through the walls
To your breath

New

All I need is feeling you by my side
I never walk alone in empty fields of sky
And I remain to see your eyes when you cry
They seem to me two stars enlightening all my life
You’re not so lonely, tonight I go
Into your dreams, I hold your hand
Now you understand what I feel for you
Don’t be afraid I stay with you in every time
And if the words are not enough for your heart
I play my song which talks of you for all the time
You’re not so lonely, tonight I go
Into your dreams, I hold your hand

RINGS OF EARTHLY LIGHT
a) EARTHCORE
Trees are drawing shades
On the wall; I keep my shade
Toy with my brain in this place of rest
And I try to find in time my freedom light
Soft flights,
Flickerig waves of colour without light,
Strikes of wind
Divide myself from fantasy.
Earthly spirits out from the mist,
Wandering knights
Mount white wild steeds.
In this land my spirit’s searching for a link
To this Earth’s core.
In this land my spirit’s searching for a link
To this Earth’s core.
Greedy strains upon this world
While I’m floating in the breeze
Picking rings of memory
Scattered by the wings of time to come
In this land my spirit’s searching for a link
To this Earth’s core.
In this land my spirit’s looking for a link
To this Earth’s core.
b) PORTRAIT
In leaves
I made you, maiden
I made you, maiden, mine for life
From leaves you came,
I made you mine
I made you, maiden, mine for life
c) SELL MY FEELINGS
Sell my feelings to the sky to give me life,
Stop for me eternal time
Run with me in glittering woods,
Run with me behind the colours of the sun.
Come through and hear trees breathe
From the leaves you made me,
Now create a story for my time
Sing me in verse like poetry
I’ll reach the lake that’s in my dreams
where you’ll find me
She was flying
In rings of earthly light
Where the forest’s dark
Waterwise
My mind came dark and so my dreams
She was flying
In rings of earthly light
Where the forest’s dark
Waterwise
I knew my sense of life was gone

Pushing together
04:01
|
|||
|
In the sun I miss her
Pushing together
But the sun is in my heart
The brightness that helps me find my way
While the stars begin to shine
The night will fly
And leave me in the hands of destiny
Crashing with violence the fire within
Its searing ground
Lost in this long way down
Of drying dreams
Lost in this long way down
Of drying souls,
I look in this strange dried pool
My life.
And while I set on this trip
I pass her by
And in the sun
My silent cry
Will reach every single shine
To lose this way
And to die
Follow the tricks
Inside your mind
The lady will dream your eyes
And the rain
Will be on your side.
While the stars begin to shine
The night will fly
Giving me back my destiny
And watching myself
Alone in this land
Of newborn life

In the rising mist
05:07
|
|||
|
Can you see me in this ancient disguise
Proudly winning battles
I can’t really trust myself
On this battleground the rising mist
Is floating on the corpses
and the broken spears
I walk alone upon the grass
Upon this nightmare toned in red
It’s hard to find the way
Lost in this empty scene of fight
Here in the mist my heart can feel
The pain in my soul
Suddenly a light
Shining from beyond
Cleared up myself upon this world
For all the fantasy that dwellson the earth
Carved the stone and turned the mist
Into a winter’s snow

I am changing

Sweetness polishes harmonies
Voices whispering melodies
Now that I have come to be
I can hear it
Open up my eyes and see
Are they singing this for me?
Now that I have come to be
I can sing it
My voice reaches the worlds
they teach us that we can never go
My song takes me away
it makes me go forward, don’t you know.
Strange, the people all around me
Why the dance tries to break free?
Now that I have come to be
I am dancing
Joyfulness inside of me
It is plainly clear to see
Now that I have come to be
I am changing
My voice reaches the worlds
they teach us that we can never go
My song takes me away
it makes me go forward, don’t you know (2 times)
Joyfulness inside of me
It is plainly clear to see
Now that I have come to be
I am changing

If I only knew
02:46
|

|
You know the tears are falling now
I need to come back to you
I am walking down the road
Try to heal this broken heart
I knew I lost you when it was too late
If I only knew
When the night is coming back again
I feel so lonely
in this empty room
You know the reason why
I felt better when you were over here
“But life goes on”
that’s what always said to me, my friends
I knew I lost you when it was too late
I see you any time I close my eyes
If I only knew
When the night is coming back, I feel alone
It drives me crazy
My heart is like a stone
