01 / Give Back The Moments


Finally
Things turned out the way you’ve planned them
Once again
Ignored the signs and felt the flames
I hated you
For all the feelings that you’ve offered
So untrue – is what you are
So give me back the moments

I needed you
Looks of love had turned away
I need you, too
Will you still be waiting for me
I’m sorry, too
That I had to leave your heart
Alone – is what I feel
So give me back the moments

What’s the price of love
Mourning – Mourning
Who’s gonna heal the hearts
Yourself – Yourself
Give me back my life
No way – No way
Give me back the moments
Too late – Too late

02 / A Thorn Inside My Head


What is it I’m looking for
In this foreign matrix
It keeps my eye fixed

Traced me down into its core
How selfishly the time ticks
Counting down quick

Trust me – I have so much love to give
Thrill me – The fear of disaster sleeps in these hands
Maybe – We’ll cause destruction on our way
Feel me – A night to forget the fate that we share
Kill me – And place a thorn inside my head


Caught between the barricades
A heart-breaking correction
Without deception

Open-minded to the bone
In stimulating action
My last reflection

03 / Follow The Demons


Drop me a line
Say that you’re mine
And wait for me
Down in the valley

Once and for all
I will recall
The pleasure you bring
All over my body


So long ago
You wanted to know
And secrets were spilled
Into the barley

Now that you’re here
Why should I care
And follow the demons
Back to the alley

A heart without soul
A mind full of gold
A sin to ignore
That every day is lost without you
A world of your own
A time so alone
A place far away
I’m lost without you every day


Burned in my skin
Incomparable sin
Confession will drive me
Into perdition

Rest for a while
Trust me and I
Will show you the demons
Back in the alley

04 / Belles


You are on my mind while I’m out of it already
Care for me
And take me to the seaside

I never saw a beauty
Like you, shadow in despair
Comfort my desire
Pressurized beyond repair

Hold me spell-bound
In your dungeon I enbloom
Call me in your garden
Feed me fruits of distant doom

I changed my clothes to please you
I changed my mind to black
And now I will surrender to you

I changed my words to please you
I changed my heart to black
And now I will surrender to you


Patience-seeking
Waiting for her flesh to burn
Tangled in emotions
Paralyzed and left to yearn

Fragile-longing
For her breath to calm my sea
Leave me twisted
Leave me ship-wrecked endlessly

05 / Winterwalk


The night – there is no one around
The wind – is blowing through my hair
My senses – I feel your presence
Your voice – seems so far away

The trees – move gently with the wind
The snow – innocent and peaceful
My heart – warm and calm
Your touch – soothing and longed for

The sea – standing at the shore
The gulls – gazing at this beauty
My breath – exhale all my worries
Your life – becomes my life

The streets – wet from the rain, unpleasant
The moon – so much brighter than the sun
My light – will glow while you’re near
Your eyes – the pool of my dreams

Right into your arms –
I want to fall with no one,
With no one else but you.
Right into your arms –
I want to fall for no one,
For no one else but you


The truth – is sometimes hard to accept
Deception – almost unbearable
My words – a promise forever?
Your lies – will remain unheard

The hurt – one in a million
Failure – one in a million
My strength – boundless since you
Your lies – will remain unheard

The crime – undo what has been done
Tolerance – the only weapon I can offer
My mutiny – will save a sinking ship
Your mercy – I can count on

The new – whatever comes tomorrow?
Silence
My salvation – I will find in you
Your mercy – I can count on

06 / Separation


We used to say the world is in our hands
Another crazy vision of romance
The picture of our love will fall apart
If you leave me now

You said you couldn’t stay with me tonight
Instead you turned around and walked away
Take everything I have but promise me
That you stay

If you want to leave me now
Just go and break my heart
What will I do without your love
I don’t want to let you go
For it will break me heart
What will I do without your love


Just as my thoughts of love did pass you by
You told me you need time on your own
Don’t let it be the end of what we shared
And come back to me

All good things in life are doomed to end
But I seem to fail to comprehend
Maybe we can break the rule once more
And forever

07 / Back To Life


Where have you been lately
I haven’t heard from you in a long time
Your voice sounds the same
But what are these marks on your face?

Drink up your glass of wine
Let’s go for a ride – into the city
With its shimmering lights
Far beyond – your life awaits

Distorted views of reality
Have kept you awake all night
Drown your fears in her chest
Until the morning brakes

This is your life – your love
Embrace what you have – don’t stop
One day breaks your mind – your heart
Now it’s the time – restart
This is what it feels like
Coming back to life

This is your life – your love
Embrace what you have – don’t stop
A new day awakes your heart
This is the time to start
This is what it feels like
Coming back to life

08 / Digital Love


Lips that never speak
Lips that never lie
Define the value
Customize your love

Hands that never touch
Hands that never feel
Define the distance
Customize your love

Everything is possible
Select the option and confirm

I’m your robot for emotions
I’m your loveable machine
No more conflicts
Understanding
It is programmed in my brain

I’m the automatic lover
I’m the picture in your frame
No more pain just
Two worlds mending
All my circuits call your name

Digital love – enter your password here
Digital love – define a new world so clear
Digital love – add me to your private space
Digital love – a multi-human interface


Eyes that never look
Eyes that never watch
Define the colours
Customize your love

Souls that never shine
Souls that never fly
Define the loneliness
Customize your love

09 / All The Words (Catharsis)


I came to count the failures
My life is in a mess
Call me mad and selfish
I am ready to confess

I tried to avoid it
But I cannot feel a thing
Tell me what to do now
(Tell me) what you feel within

Your words and lies
Done me wrong again
Look in these eyes
Too blind to see a friend
Where are you now
Where are you now that I need you most
Look in these eyes
All will be fading soon


Way too many disruptions
Will cause a man to fall
Hear my final statement
And how the lost souls call

All the words for nothing
We are better off alone
Leave me in the gutter
Before you’re driving home

10 / Sweet Dancer


The girl goes dancing there
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth
Grass plot of the garden;
Escaped from bitter youth,
Escaped out of her crowd,
Or out of her black cloud.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!

If strange men come from the house
To lead her away, do not say
That she is happy being crazy;
Lead them gently astray;
Let her finish her dance,
Let her finish her dance.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!

lyrics by W.B.Yeats

11 / Control


Was it all for one
Or was it one for all
Is it something I can control

Do you now my life
Would you go my way
Or would you simply walk away

Is this worth the fight
Could this be the night
I’ve been waiting for

Was it all for one
Or was it one for all
Is this something I can control


Theories of life
Metaphors to store
Empty words without a soul

So carry your advise
Sacred words to call
Your casualties will need them all

12 / Pathway


Lend me your fields of thoughts
And I will harvest all I can
To turn the seasons into years
Before the winter steals it all

I know a pathway we can go
Follow the barely growing trees
Linger in light-flooded glades
Testified emotions departing

This will be the end indeed
See these hands
Come pull me out of here
Where is the light we seek
We stole the fire
From the hands of time


And as we struggle on and on
Blind and hopelessly depressed
Fading substance passing by
Captivated moments endorsing
