The Seeker
04:24

I know
doors are locked and
I know
thieves are far but
last night in my dreams
I bled like I was the victim
It's too late for our time
to be completed
I chose to forget you
This time there'll be no space for two
My time
has arrived, Night
visits
this lonely bird I am
No cage will protect me
for Night's teeth graze my feathers
This city's a predator, swallowing us down
A snake's inside with powerful colors
We can't escape our own grave
This fascination's safe, feast in its decay
Inside you I seethe
please, release me
Without you I hide
I'm dry, you fill me
To seek was my destiny
To find presence full of peace
You're here, I have to let it go
so I can start the search one more time

Belong
06:24
|
|||
They say I'm crazy, but I know they're insane
their eyes looking at me, but I can see through them
You and me don't belong to this world
we have been casted in another mold
We're orphaned children waiting for a home
This land has been frozen long ago
and it's full of zombies that devour our souls
You and me don't belong to this world
we have been casted in another mold
don't be a victim of this game
Behind your solipsism
Create a mask, keeps you from shame
The line that separates you
Behind this ocean of blind hate
From them's imaginary
We are all the same

Crocodiles, Elephants
04:32
|
|||
We are always moving
Crocodiles, elephants
Following the river to the north
In the shade I am
Hydrogen I am
In the air I am
Oxygen I am
We have to feed the giants
penetrate their insides
We have to feed the giants
their mouths are open wide
In the shade I am
Hydrogen I am
Can I reencarnate?
In the air I am
Oxygen I am
Can I become flesh?
I don't want to
I don't need to
I'm afraid to
I am always here
and will always be
"Here" is where I am
"There" is where I'm not
Two are the ways of happiness
One says seek, the other says conform
But this one does not search happiness, but content
Content is the highest will of zen
Unsatisfaction is result of nonconform
Come dear
Come to my ear, come
come here
come near
Be silent
my musketeer, go
be violent
be clear

Tiny Eyes
02:53
|
|||
Tiny eyes are made of justice
they want us to pay your crown
Tiny eyes can see us naked
smiling wide behind their frowns
Tiny eyes, tiny eyes
Tiny eyes condemn your pocket
It is fair to make them rich
so they can have fun with our wives and
be allowed to hire a witch
Tiny eyes, tiny eyes

Snowman
03:39
|
|||
I gave you life, my snowman
wild fruit, ice and a hat
He's got a smile, but no heart
I'll plant one so to fill the gap.
Finally the berry's grown
Ice's melted, spring's already come
Evaporating he is gone
Clouds took him away, will he return?
Inside the freezer his heart waits
for the winter, for the snow
But I don't know
Will he ever be the same?
Will the clouds bring back the flame?
My heart is awakening
Can you hear its fiery call?
Can you feel me burning?
Your ice is my only hope

Knowing You Exist
06:42
|
|||
Throw the dice and
look under the
table, this number
is the chosen one
Sometimes truth is in the dark face
Fate is released from this vast mace
From this eye, I watch you from the side
and all I see is dry, please irrigate your mind
From nearby, I guard you close and tight
and all I taste is blight, corrupted field of lies
Sand is blowing into the gaps of life
remains are covered and forgotten
Dig the centuries out of the hourglass
bones are hiding in the inside
Pirates sailing back to their land and the loot is so pristine
singing to their children about the island potpourries
Come, sing with us, dance and drink for us, Lorene
Sins are left behind and they don't know you exist

Astronaut
05:30
|
|||
Astronaut, far beyond the clouds
wants to know what's behind this shroud
Tenuous red giant, loneliest among the stars
Astronaut, take me where you are
let's die here, where no one else is crowned
The most glorious sun has no planets around
Come down, back to the earth
where you belong, my bright satellite
Shed light, maybe your own
and move us a step closer to the sun
Inmensity is jail
Did you create all this?
Did you confine yourself?
A maker is never free
Trapped observer, watcher of the
everchanging beauty
in the universe
years far away
Come down, back to the earth
where you belong, my bright satellite
Shed light, maybe your own
and move us a step closer to the sun
Come blind our eyes
Come blind our eyes
Come flood our minds
Come flood our minds
We are now your acolytes
burning in your nebula

Defeat
06:32
|
|||
With these eyes I can fight
With these fists I can cry
Magic imbued body, useless scum
This is all I have to give
Why do I have to give you up?
Great sun, guide my fire
slow us down, hold my reins
Cause i'm your horse and he‘s my squire
who taints my armor with the light of day
Weapons were set aside
shields drift away with the tide
No defense hides the shame
Though we fought there was nothing to gain

Sip of Light
06:22
|
|||
Drown in his mind
lost deep inside
blinded by images his head displays
drown in the stories his mad brain creates
he sees nothing of the world around
but someone's calling you
she's calling you
Tears in fire
Poison down your throat runs
Rain's denial
Poison down your throat slowly runs
He's now alive
he took a sip of light
and one more time he knows
there's no way back
there's no way out
out of the voice, loud, calling for life
He's in the mud
but he's alright
he feels no need, now, to step outside
but down he goes, down deep he drowns
trapped is the worm in honey-mud
and soon his wings will grow
Tears in fire
Poison down your throat runs
Rain's denial
Her invisible cobweb is near
Wings of water
Cruel portrait of desire
Feed the spider
A bed hiding a coffin
Travel with me into the core
I will choose the longest way to
infinite skies
burning inside cosmic caves
Travel with me into the core
into universe’s mind
Will this union
grant us inmortality?
