Life’s clock ticks so fast
We used to be so young
Visions of the past so fleeting
Some diseases cannot be healed
Were we making fun of ourselves?
Unforgiven love
Unforgiven love
Lost memories of us
You wished we’d leave behind
Ashes of us into deep water
Time can really kill every lie
Can it also kill every doubt?
Unforgiven love
Unforgiven love
The ashes of the past
The ashes of us
Raking over

Dead Dance
05:26
|

Sorrow dances with my cold desire
Fallen angel who could never fly
Hollow as the space you left in my heart
Sober, can I ever feel again?
Tomorrow’s coming so fast will you be there?
Trains never left, loves never ended
From the station to the unknown
Where I strangely feel at home
Will tomorrow really ever come?
And tomorrow will we stop this lie?
Dead dance
In order not to fall you must not look back
All my lust and desire are still here tonight
I’m not going back
No dreams the way I can’t ever live
No tears what has been is still alive
Driven by the rage like a bird in a cage
I would love to see you stripped
Feel your bosom on my lips
Let tomorrow never ever come
Let tomorrow never see the light
Dead dance
In order not to fall you must not look back

December Ends

Stumbling in my own steps
Going around all night long
Stoned and cold and lost
A siren from afar
One drink to fly
And one more to fall
He takes a picture as you smile
The stars have more reasons to shine
A message in the night says all we left behind
Just a million lovely lies
You were never ever mine
The stars are shining bright
Like a million broken hearts
Time to go home
I will not lose control
I miss another glass, a signal in the night
04:15 am, the same song for hours
No one ever wonders how far dreams are from stars
December ends

Love in Black and White
04:18
|
|||
|
Over 1.000 miles, I’ve walked
Just to know the hidden truth
Under veils of lies a love in black and white
All the times you asked me why
All the times you got so high
All the things I’ve never been for you
Time, what we love's getting old
and what we live for is dying
But my honest dreams
I believed in no one but you
With no clothes in these secret pictures
As you hide your face and smile
In the mirror you can see the truth
And remember when I said
I would never let you go
But today is always yesterday with you
No one tonight could feel more lonely with you
Tonight I feel all alone

I was there, you with me
Friends don’t let it go
In 2008 there was nothing wrong with us
Never tried, never wanted to break that balance
The old ambitions in an urn of ash
So we run to nowhere
Aged and tired
When I say the truth you’ll be the last to know
Never tried to see up close how things ended
I was afraid to find out a responsible
I’m talking to you everywhere you are
An hibernated heart travels back in time
I’m still talking to you everything you say
You can't always pretend or keep all away
So I gave up my life, never looked back
But I’ve never stopped to dream out loud and fight the ghost
Alcoholic visions and memories
I’ve believed the ones could be still a part of us
I’ve never loved being alive never before
I’ve never known what the secret of life was
Hold on, how could it feel more real?
So old, so real, so cold, so clear
So old, so real, so cold, so clear
So old, so real, so cold, so clear

Stone

The city lights go out (and) give way to dawn
A little girl falls apart like a thousand hearts in this town
In this town too much sorrow
Take my hands, I will follow
You are dancing you’re so lost in the crowd
I’m gonna make it all alone with you
Take my hands, I will follow
In my heart there's still sorrow
Feelings die, lovers cease to love tonight
Dreams die, there is no going back
And all we have can’t be kept alive
The way we were, it will never be again
The coldest winters make us scared
When the snow covers everything
Look for my hands like the silver and gold

Dusk
03:48
|

|
Fighting back the tears again
So many distant memories
All that we can’t buy
The measure of the time
The world still turns
The dream and desire
The things we say
They fall into the void
It used to be a cruel deceit
Or maybe another broken dream we had
All that makes us scared
It disappears at the dusk
The world still turns
The dream and desire
The things we did
Too useless to be told
Hear my voice and his empty words
Take my heart and make it brave
Guide me ‘cos the sun goes out
Here comes the dusk and then the dark

The Broken Toy
05:05

I’m going to realise this stupid song
You can always feel my pain but this time
Maybe it will not be enough to show you
How I feel like a broken toy
Yeah, I used to be your broken toy
Someone laughs and a heart is bleeding
I know this story and the guilt is mine
Though I’m wishing you the same
But tonight don’t mind me
I’m too weak, drunk and tired
The sky is calling to you
There’s someone who’ll never go away
Tonight I touched my life
So I need to wash my hands
Am I who you want?
I hope you’re wrong
Am I who makes you dream?
But I wonder what happens in your dreams
In your dreams there is a lovely place
A love like fire
An evergreen tree called love
Burning always
A love you paint
With the colors of your name
And this is coming for you
Now I’m drowning, sinking, laughing
Crying and crawling
Drinking, wishing, hoping
And maybe living too

The soldiers coming home at Christmas time
My parent’s home is empty in recent months
Once it used to be so full of life
I’m not sad because the snow won’t fall this year
I won’t stand by with my life in photographs
I would never party if somewhere someone was still dying
No time to cry, it’s time to act
In joy and pain I’m not afraid
I’ve really never stopped loving you
We’re off to see the world we live in
Make the Earth our home
We've got an only planet we can share
The human race has no names and doesn’t need flags
The river flows and doesn’t wonder why
So I can never stop singing this song at all
And we must carry on and we must still fight
The war in your heart is never right
We’re off to see the end, the only flag is white
No time to cry, it’s time to act
In joy and pain I’m not afraid
I’ve really never stopped loving you
We’re off to see the world we live in
Make the Earth our home
We've got an only planet we can share
So let the world become one heart
Make the Earth our home
It’s the only place for you and I
We’re off to see the world we live in
Make the Earth our home
We've got an only planet we can share
So let the world become one heart
Make the Earth our home
There’s a unique place for you and I
The only place for you and I
The Earth, our home
