Metal Rain
As if my eyes go blind
Memories turn into rusting
Hold on to my dream
I think of all good things
That we have left undone
Under a metal rain
Oh… Somewhere my heroes fell down
But now what’s done is done
Oh… I let my heroes drift out
I feel the final cut
A man walks on the wire
You think we could be closer
How we used to be
Can’t tell you how I feel
I never meant to be the greatest
I’ll wait for metal rain
Oh… Somewhere my heroes fell down
But now what’s done is done
Oh… I let my heroes drift out
I feel the final cut
I’m the spider come with me
I’ll show you the secret so you’ll break on through
I’m the spider come with me
You know my secret you can break on through

When we were kings

When we were kings
When I was kid I used to be a king
She was my queen
Now that I’ve grown, pretend to be a fool
And you walk beside me
We’re crying loud
We’re watching our pain pass us by
Those days when we were kings
There was a light that never blew away
Into your soul
I was like rain in the river flow
And you were my bank
I don’t mind if you stay…
We’re crying loud
And watching our pain pass us by
That day when we were kings
We’re drifting away
With our broken sails no hiding place
Those days when we were kings

The scene of the crime
03:37

The scene of the crime
Fooling around
I wondered what was wrong
Lost in the crowd
Remembering how that day
How that day you went away
Hearing no sound
Everything in its right place
A radio song
I’m wondering how that day
That day you slipped away
Holding my breath, your pain could be mine
Waiting for someone could show me the way…Tonight
Tonight I will say goodbye
To everyone who’s loved me
Tonight I’ll pick up the pieces
I know my enemy is near
Pretend I can hardly wait
I know my enemy is near
We can meet at the scene of the crime
Hanging around
I wondered what was wrong
Lost in the crowd
A voice behind my back
But as I turned you were not there
Every secret has its price…
“every secret has its price”

D.D.B.
Deaf, dumb and blind my heart for you
Splinter in my side I’m bleeding you
You should have shown me the way back home
And I should have told you there’s no direction home
Down in the sea you feed me
Break down the wall you are my undertow
You should have shown me the way back home
And I should have told you there’s no direction home
Heal me please don’t look back and slide away
Heal me don’t blow your mind just fade away

Let it all go

Let it all go
I would believe in you
Now your bones sinking like stones
in a cold bed
I could have lied to you
Now your hands laying on your heart
Reveling in pain
Up above in the sky I see starlight
The place where I’m meant to be
Void up in the sky spreads out, out of sight
You’ve gone as quiet as night
You once had a craving for cycling
But times were still so tough
Than you gave up
Now that I’m losing you
Choose your clothes in a cold room
Where we used to cry
Up above in the sky I see starlight
You’ve dropped your poison cup
Void up in the Sky spreads out, out of sight
You’ve gone as quiet as night

Electronic eye

Electronic eye
Here we are and the music all around us
Time goes by, now the sour days are over, our sour days
Hearing no sounds
A new world outside my window
Somewhere in me
Gathering all my memories
Not inside nor outside
You’ll see their lie
A lie that will capture you
Inside of your wisdom
You’ll come to see the light
The light of your consciousness
Under a rusting rain
Electronic eyes observe us
Scars that won’t heal
I plunge my body into the river
Not inside nor outside
You’ll see their lie
A lie so delightful

Morning Dew
Morning dew lays down on my skin
Evoking sounds and sketches of light
My eyes cold as ice, my hands are tired
The world ain't what it used to be
The golden days are gone
Days get shorter
And the northern light plays with my mind
In my own way
I'm gonna spend the day
In the arms of the one I love
feel so safe, rising up above
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Now it's over
memories die with a cheap disease
I don't want to lose this fight
Someday I'll learn how to love everyone
In my own way
I'm gonna spend the day

Devil is watching me

Devil is watching me
Drawing your picture while the Devil is watching me
You show me the secret of my inner enemy
Your kiss won’t be pure
If you’re not scared of me
You and I will meet one day
Under a lit black star
Drawing a circle while a guardian is grinning at me
Hoping to get close to a peace I cannot find
Drawing your picture while the Devil is laughing at me
He shows me the secret of my inner enemy
Your kiss won’t be pure
If you’re not scared of me
You and I will meet one day
Under a lit black star
I’m hanging on a wire
And I’m waiting for a change
It’s history repeating all over again
My lust it ties me up
In chains and misery
The drug of your smile
Has gone and left me alone

The Innocence I’ve Known
It's a glorious day for us
It's a glorious day for all of us
Sun is shining bright above
Sun is shining bright above all of us
It' so simple to wake up beside your hair
And count the pearls with my two hands
Dance a little dance all night long
Now I just want to cross the line
Now I need to travel blind
And you’pp show me where to look
I miss the innocence I've known in your smile
I miss the innocence I've Known in your eyes
Sun is shining bright above
Sun is shining bright above all of us
Now I just want to cross the line
Now I need to travel blind
Dance a little dance all night long

Infinite Atoms
Cold dawn, a thousand stones sleep in the sand
Teardrops, my gratitude for her rest
Tides pull and I’m pushed down beneath undertow
Waves pass like the memory of my old tunes
Nothing can dam the ocean I have inside
I can see children playing on the roof
Their laugh a swinging feather in the air
They won’t be monkeys in anyone’s zoo
Nothing can dam the ocean I have inside
Nothing can dam the ocean I have inside
I wish I could talk to the mountains
Sleep among fish
Dance like a feather in your arms
I wish I could breath like a baby
Sleep among the trees
Float like a river in your arms
Nothing can dam the ocean I have inside…
