Silent Trees 07:13
Silent Trees Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Morte, vida Morte, vida Help me now arise - I’ll give you My prize Share the concerns - I trust you My essence Take my food and water, cover, and bed That allow me to take a rest Ultimate decision - then you’re my Beloved fellow - the final quest It has come to end The eternal suffering of never being understood We now crawl together under the invading fences Toward the woods Let’s pretend A single line of loose sand A sole eye powering A single line of loose sand Deep there in the forest of illusion Is the slave attached to belief that brings The realm of being embraced by the silent trees That only talk within the wind The same silent trees that offer me shelter From the cold breeze and let us all live Praise their flesh and blood Instead of worshiping the havoc Coming out from the beast Scrambling my faith Enlightening the brave Join me in this life The creature inside It has come to end The eternal suffering of never being understood We now crawl together under the invading fences Toward the woods Let’s pretend A single line of loose sand A sole eye powering Forever a smooth awakening But will there be a way sometime? The flames invaded my eyes Erasing us till the end Another chapter of a tragic book of loss Whose content is the forgotten people left in the past Personal worthless stories Victims of circumstance How to thrive again We’re running out of chances Sons of indifference Will this really end sometime? Um-hum (Um-hum) oh Deep there in the forest of illusion Is the slave attached to belief that brings The realm of being embraced by the silent trees That only talk within the wind The same silent trees that offer me shelter From the cold breeze and let us all live Praise their flesh and blood instead of worshiping the havoc Coming out from the beast Morte, vida

All My Wounds Running shambles have been caused Reconstruct and cover yourself Begging you to show me there Convenience had to be found Just before we were caught Holy message to be sent I’m still here by stubbornness How it's hard to comprehend This tale doesn't exist Dangerous is the frontier Unfriendly men stay close my lethal strategy Bowing before the eloquence Bending many bodies and minds Diving in obedience Guidance revealing that I'm breathing holy air Making me understand Stuck inside the circle of A brief insidious nightmare every day Mesmerizing chants come up Whenever you may need No matter what you're seeking for I need to get the key for ascent And read the lines Final stand A cure for all my wounds They'll show me how to reach it We can only sit and wait to figure it out Time to reconciliate, someone give me a shot Pushing you to the edge of final extinction Then I see a world of the new The gold you innocently will wait to earn Glory on earth for only a few Place your wishes right beside me The miserable herd I spare A billion prey should be taken You're living now inside a lab I need to get the key for ascent And read the lines Final stand A cure for all my wounds They'll show me how to reach it We can only sit and wait to figure it out Time to reconciliate, someone give me a shot

Disconnected 04:37
Disconnected This is life, this is fate, look beyond the descent An atrocious eminence, from your deep unconfessed wishes Coming out, fight within, further away, show the place Called by someone else in disguise a pleasure dome Take my hand, invite me in, dark and cold, laughing face Disturbed soul, stabbing now, look around, protect the entrance From the ones, who don’t fit, and don’t want, to embrace Overcome the offense replicate and get to learn The harmony of thinking A truth to be unfolded A pariah left unknown We face starvation A way I’ve never gone Just give me back - my home A feeble tide to the other real side of me A hidden deal, not to be seen Ruining for good weakened hearts that are vanishing Easing the pain and making us all Disconnected, enemies Bitter inside, feel so sick They’ll return, quiet down, build a wall, separate Let the time, remedy the so-called, established system Rude and far, tough to find, take a leap to the fake Happy ends, rising now like contrived and aesthetic change Group of wolves, increase its strength, recreate a cult for all Albeit, for themselves, shining like real gold Diving in, tears and loss, get along, poor and weak Finally I´ve found the only thing that keeps me going - I'm almost sane The harmony of thinking A truth to be unfolded A pariah left unknown We face starvation A way I've never gone Just give me back - my home A feeble tide to the other real side of me A hidden deal, not to be seen Ruining for good weakened hearts that are vanishing Easing the pain and making us all Disconnected, enemies Bitter inside, feel so sick Disconnected, enemies Bitter inside, feel so sick

Letters From Nowhere Hum um um um um Hum um um Hum um um um Hum um um Hum um um um um Walking down endless thunder in a falling sky Pushing boys and girls who should be inspired Staring at the gates, that often led him Back to the land of trivial happenings Ordinary days, when saving face was worth more than being well behaved Of deep human weakness, grim and strength is to be depraved Tough is the conscious choice for the last moonrise Thriving on the rush for a dispute No one dares give him salute A real chance to clean up the sides Resilience, a new-born implies Questions should be addressed under The need to describe, express and free Intolerance - outrageous disease Writing down the right words for a youth that are now so frustrated Wrong-way - bad signs - coming out Letters from nowhere Are you justified Letters from nowhere Are you petrified Letters from nowhere Then you realize Prove the point at once and then evolve Principle of a blind kingdom far above Distress, recreational Static conduction of a recent entertaining The most important treasure you’ve tried not to keep buried And instead spread it away Call it a day - they tried to deceive Raise up your fist, hold the key Opening up, your mind and soul Figure the lesson, has to be told Hide your own wish get to the mist Where there's no time and no beliefs Just the unknown letters he left behind Carrying the dream of staying alive Questions should be addressed under The need to describe, express and free Intolerance - outrageous disease writing down the right words for a youth that are now so frustrated Wrong-way - bad signs - coming out Letters from nowhere Are you justified Letters from nowhere Are you petrified Letters from nowhere Then you realize Letters from nowhere Are you justified Letters from nowhere Are you petrified Letters from nowhere Then you realize

Aiming For The Sun Wake up, back from dawn of the dead Many yearned for your head Unfair forgive the ones Who sent you there as they will drag Themselves beneath instead Get out at once and run Turn upside down the warning left in the road Full of carved stones, steel, and bones Allowing waves of blurred soldiers The guilt is over shoulders sinking in mud Just above ourselves, there’s a warm red sky We’re aiming for the sun - you and I feel free yeah The deal has been made with our ears and eyes We’re singing a song just to feel alive down here yeah The sound is proof of an abuse The tool that's being used will no longer be you Your light, so bright point out the speech, that is, So close the risk, should not be in oblivion Turn upside down the warning left in the road Full of carved stones, steel, and bones Allowing waves of blurred soldiers The guilt is over shoulders sinking in mud Just above ourselves, there’s a warm red sky We’re aiming for the sun - you and I feel free yeah The deal has been made with our ears and eyes We’re singing a song just to feel alive down here yeah Just above ourselves, there’s a warm red sky We’re aiming for the sun - you and I The deal has been made with our ears and eyes We’re singing a song just to feel alive down here

A Gift From God Do we really know the meaning of love Spirits at a higher level And nothing else will really make me lose my trust Age of innocence, last chance to arrange A better lesson on the reason since the first day What is the reason since the first day Imagination can never get us ready Connecting hearts from weak to strong Ending self-affliction by a different road A different road It brings the pride only a mother gets Teaching you not to stay even less Hands united, they become one Born like a daughter, she's the sun A gift from God Odd traditions are the past, everything turns to rest Great chance to get a view, most of us don`t ever feel Secret location of the river, it seems so close A place reflects important duties we’re not above It brings the pride only a mother gets Teaching you not to stay even less Hands united, they become one Born like a daughter, she's the sun A gift from God Hum um um Hum um um Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Our need is love Can’t tease no more Our need is love Love of any sort Our need is love Our need is love Our need is love Love

No Real Colour In Souls Across the road from a different point of reflection I've found myself feeding other forms of regression Floating around bodies of my scorned comrades The ones who dare stand against their ominous sign Nothing is strong enough to wash memories away Year after year I hear the price has been paid The matter is not a bargain just to stay alive May God behold people living in an infamous lie I just wanna know to where we have been - taken to Show me what we got that we could call - brand-new Circle of time performs before my mind – in pain Spinning back and forth before my eyes - closing Before a profound mortality rate The only concern is to keep yourself safe An abyss that separates most of us now We can pass through it ignoring the ground Broken in two parts my personal evil - escape Growing the inner conviction and breathing some air Locked down in a proper dementia Afterwards, we'll not forget what was mentioned Unspeakable speech in duality Drowned by a long incredulity Hollow is the way to stop someone's talk Giving in to what's left of positive luck Fortified by an authentic feel Dead and gone, a mesmerizing view I just wanna know to where we have been - taken to Show me what we got that we could call - brand-new Circle of time performs before my mind – in pain Spinning back and forth before my eyes - closing Before a profound mortality rate The only concern is to keep yourself safe An abyss that separates most of us now We can pass through it ignoring the ground Broken in two parts my personal evil - escape Growing the inner conviction and breathing some air Give us life – give us hope Give us something we could get and hold Ray of sunlight is out of the lives that we care about There's no real colour in souls Give us life – give us hope Give us something we could get and hold Ray of sunlight is out of the lives that we care about There's no real colour in souls There's no real colour in souls There's no real colour in souls There's no real colour in Colour in Colour in souls There's no real colour in souls

The Shell I’m Living In Can’t see the coast The degradation has been found abroad What could be done to prevent such disclosing Lost an ethereal link with protectors Impatient and confused The words I’ve asked before now have no use A consciousness the ancient then had improved The time has come to make irrevocable preparations Someday, somehow, scattered but resilient The farewell to childhood ignorance Climb up the hill, stones keep falling from dread It’s not what you’re looking for I need your presence here, won't you comfort me A loneliness that fills up The shell I’m living in Don’t leave me in the jail, that you’ve constructed for me A loneliness that fills up The shell I’m living in Killing slowly any pretension of going on my own Seldom is the awake before the sunlight Shows up and expresses a tough New spiral of confrontation It took a while The misconception has been formed far and wide The whistle now erupts outside Someday, somehow, scattered but resilient The farewell to childhood ignorance Climb up the hill, stones keep falling from dread It’s not what you’re looking for I need your presence here, won't you comfort me A loneliness that fills up The shell I’m living in Don’t leave me in the jail, that you’ve constructed for me A loneliness that fills up The shell I’m living in I need your presence here, won't you comfort me A loneliness that fills up The shell I'm living in Don't leave me in the jail, that you've constructed for me A loneliness that fills up The shell I'm living in Um-hum oh The shell I'm living in The shell I'm living The shell I'm living The shell I'm living in

Are You Satisfied? Out on the horizon, a drifter is wandering His features express hardship Countless times we’ve walked that place And never seen a human being We frighten him away, without getting close, Just aching for an organic trophy As soon as we creep into his miserable life, What’s relevant is how much we're raking in Daily we go nowhere, Right when we should rattle this nagging pain That grows inside, and sorely locks us out We must spirit him away To a remote site where he Cannot be at peace forevermore Cannot be at peace forevermore A matter of being we never absorbed Lucidity becomes pure utopia A requiem, for the fortunate ones The few living in cornucopia Weighed down by odious futility The fathers of hypocrisy Stave off the cowardice Bulk up the fools We`re heirs of a dictatorship Daily we go nowhere, Right when we should rattle this nagging pain That grows inside, and sorely locks us out We must spirit him away To a remote site where he Cannot be at peace forevermore Cannot be at peace forevermore Witnessing such extreme violence, Is that the way a human behaves? The discarded cannot stand anymore Dropped in the wind Are you satisfied?

The Law 08:43
The Law There it goes the devotion In favor of someone unknown Speak out loud nothing but notions Of monsters, ourselves have become Zero degrees of prudence, a mourning so hard to ease That’s spreading out through the oceans And the land of humanity Worship – recreate Shut down – renegade bleeding - lose control - leaving Outside - far away Full pride - just to say The truth one pretends Believe or perish By the hands you think are there Long path we cross so unsure Is this the law for the pure? It doesn’t matter what flag you lift and twist in the air As long as they're the keepers whose rules are fear and despair What if I break these chains that stuck me in some foolish dream? Image of pretty surfaces, elusive moves to deceive Worship – recreate Shut down – renegade bleeding - lose control - leaving Outside - far away Full pride - just to say The truth one pretends Believe or perish By the hands you think are there Look to the code you have raised Where you thought you had some hope So far the good that you’ve made Will not take you to your home Spirits roaming between us No expectation of finding a place Fate is the message they send The dour search for an anguished end Long path we cross so unsure Is this the law for the pure? We gotta break We gotta face We gotta burn We gotta dance We gotta escape We gotta fade We gotta stay or run away We gotta break We gotta face We gotta burn We gotta dance We gotta escape We gotta fade We gotta stay to the core
