Valley

valley of my past
was unspoiled, clear and vast
its stream became a swamp
because the night hags pray and stomp
over the earth it cries
its poison makes it dry
while the wizard sleeps
corruption slowly creeps
I fade slowly
we chose to live fast
save me
stop the wheel
is our world coming to nough
is our aim to self destroy
all our forests turn to dust
and the sea's rage pouring down
now wood turns to ashes
where there was once a home, only stone remains
bare skeleton, my shelter
the orchard's flooded
down the lanes
there's poison in our veins
our malformed children pay for this

Olmo fiel
a-sombra-me
cobíjame
bajo tu piel
Cuerpo albar
recuérdame
hazme vivir
en el fuego-hogar

Ginkgo leaf
play with this illusion for now
Touching you
I embrace the moment: goodbye
The blue walls look at its empty room
the candlelight corner, filled with gloom
and I am alone
The couch is still shaking, oh the fear
the wallpaint is chipped, i bite my lip
a sharp atmosphere
The candlelight trembles, shadows grow
the whole ship is sinking, save our souls
we lost each other in the mess
Afraid of the fire, I burn myself
I push the door again and again
forgetting I hold the key
The music you play when you're alone
calls out of her den my wailing soul
and I mourn our dying love
The ship that sank wasn't my home
'cause I was a siren, I forgot
are you the light above?
The music you play when you're alone
calls out of her den my wailing soul
and I mourn our dying love
The ship that sank wasn't my home
'cause I had my island bathed in foam
are you the dark below?

Tame It
04:21
|

|
Some teeth have damaged these walls
but broken windows are open windows
I like the ivy and the wilderness inside
the hidden birds and owls
long since someone lived here
yet beauty is all around
and I won't tame it
you came under a luminous night
you gave nothing but light, under
the majestic pressence of trees
who knew the urban dragon would give me this peace?
tame it
what is this ocean I sink in?
please, say the words that guide me
the air is thick, the water's thin
a new time dimension rules this reign
I'll gratefully
take over this task
and be the guardian
of this spellbound place

House Is Burnt
05:48
|

|
last minute call, a judge waits at the gate
waiting for you, his finger strikes the air
brave is the one to say he knows himself
it doesn't matter who started the fire
we both have to pay
why did you leave the light on when you left home last night?
why was the door locked and shutters shut
shaming inside
why did you, why can't you, why don't you stop this reproach?
no, it doesn't matter who started the fire
we both are wrong
run away
cause our house is burnt
let me stay
in case you return
I'll be waiting
cause I found my roots
all this suffering
wasn't meant for you
and I'll be waiting
cause I found my roots
all this pain
wasn't meant for you
