BACK TO THE STARS

I am the shadow
Your lamplight throws upon the floor
I am the echo
Tapping on your chamber door

We are close to distance
Slowly getting apart
Just name the instant
We’re going back to the stars

You are the Power
That conquers everything
You are the hour
I spent alone in the dark

We are close to distance
Slowly getting apart
Just name the instant
We’re going back to the stars

I am the raven
With the broken wing
You are the Silence
Blowing in the wind.

BALANCING ON A SOUND

Hey, tell me
Are you okay?
'Cause I've got a prayer
To pray
But Hope fades away
With each passing day
And Worlds come crashing down
Birds fly on the ground
Balancing on a sound
And sound engineers
Keep telling me
You're here
But I can't see you around
So I sit down
And just hear you.

BERLIN (MISCONCEPTION)

Germany, Berlin
Friedrishstraße, in front of Dussman
A young man and his girlfriend
Don’t understand
What’s going on.
They look into each other’s eyes
Listen to the silence behind the corner
Where solitude
Is waiting alone for you.

Ten minutes later, a Starbucks Coffee,
In Friedrichstraße
The young man enters alone.
He smiles to a waitress in red
But still doesn’t know
What’s going on.
He thinks that day by day
He will find what to say
He’s convinced
That step by step
He’ll find the right word
To fill in the gap.

A BETTER WAY

October has just begun
The leaves are falling
But in my heart
I hear "Merry Christmas".

Maybe, is it because
I got a feeling
This year I won't be
Around for Christmas?

Oh, I was taught
Not to ask why
Because there's always
A better way

To find out about
The Truth
That lies beneath
Each and every lie

The tale about
The tears you never cry
The poem written
In your closed eyes

Maybe it is because
I got a feeling
This year I won't be around
For Christmas.

BIRTH OF AN OUTSIDER

She was born to be a flower
But became a tree
Will you ever see
That she cries herself to sleep?
Will you ever see?

She was born to be a river
But became a sea
Will you ever see
That she cries herself to sleep?
Will you ever see?

She was born to be a servant
But became a queen
Will you ever see
That she cries herself to sleep?
Will you ever be
Close to her?

BLACK SNOW

I met War in one battle only
Up there in the mountains
Where the sky is blue
And Cold sticks on you like glue.

I was afraid like a child,
I wanted a cup of tea
I wanted my mother to see me
Barefoot, hungry,
I wanted someone to hold me tight.

I grabbed the hand of my friend
And told him not to go away
But his lips trembled for the last time as he said
In a voice I didn't recognise:

I'm hurt! I'm lost! I will die for sure,
Here you can see my blood
On the black snow.
I'm hurt! We're lost!
We will die for sure.
Here you can see our blood
On the black snow.

I met War in one battle only
Up there, in the mountains
Where the sky is blue
And Cold sticks on you like glue.

I felt a pang in my back
And when I turned my head
I saw that the snow was turning black

And I went down on my knees
Raised my eyes to the sky
And started to cry
Because I
I didn't want to die.

I'm hurt! I'm lost! I will die for sure,
Here you can see my blood
On the black snow.
I'm hurt! We're lost!
We will die for sure.
Here you can see our blood
On the black snow.

BLACKLISTED

“Are you now or have you ever been
A member of the Communist Party?”
“If you ask me
If I’m free
I’ll take the Fifth.
If you ask me
To hurt people I knew
To be free,
I’ll take the Fifth.
If you ask me
Whether the sky is blue
I’ll ask you
And I’ll take the Fitfth.
I’ll take the Fifth.
I’ll take the Fifth,
I’ll take the Fifth
I’ll take the Fifth!”
“Are you now or have you ever been
A member of the Communist Party?”
“I’ll take the Fifth...”

BLUE BLACK WHITE

Sometimes I wonder why
You cry all the time
And I see colours
In black & white
And I'm blue
Without you

But I, I just hide
From the World outside
And I want to die
And I try
Not to complain again
But I
I'm in pain again
You're my killer
You're my painkiller.

BROTHERS

Election days
Can be so grey
Hope can turn
Into despair
Reformers become
Former candidates,
Victims, scapegoats.

Tell people “You are free,
You’re not my Enemy
And I’m not yours,
This Land is our Country”…
And you’ll be killed.

BUT

I take a deep breath
But it’s just another waste of time.
You smile and I smile back
But it’s just another waste of time.
I say goodbye
But Death is just another waste of time.

I take a look around
But this is just another waste of time
‘Cause I know there’s no one here
And this is just another waste of time.
I close my eyes
But Death is just another waste of time.

I cross my fingers
But Hope is just another waste of time.
I take some pills
But Health is just another waste of time.
Then I disappear
Life is just another waste of time.

BUZZ

I want a dog
But don't have a leash

I want a God
But don't know how to pray

I say I'm fine
But deep inside I'm dying

Headache is back
I'll deck the halls with boughs of Pain
I'll deck the halls with boughs of Rain...
