Everything to Lose
03:48
|
|||
|
Let me tell you a story about my generation
Where I live in a world loaded with information,
Who pass through universities
brains running through factories and salaries,
Driving past bridges cross-country
Looking for a vision of eternity
Hmm.. and everything to loose
We walk through gassed roads on Monday
Whispering facts, memories or somebody’s birthday,
In the small town rain where some children play
somebody is beaten, abused and dragged around by
a uniformed battalilon booted and armed, why?
He had too much to pay, too much to say,
No roof to sleep but a mouth to speak
REFRAIN:
The laws we live by are lies that don’t apply
to those who make them living in limousins up high
My! As I realized what’s happening,
my world scrolls down the news of a man brutalized,
My! Give it another three days and it’s normalized,
My territory, my property, my religion, my country,
my space, my dealers, my house, my wife, my kids,
my dog, my rats, my .com
Hmm.. and everything to lose
I was told that I had to stay low, she was told that she had to stay low,
they were told that they had to stay low, he was told that he had to stay low,
And it goes on, life goes on, don’t want a hole in the back of my head,
“Just forget about it, fantasize about another little body, baby” .. (REFRAIN)
Poets, painters stopped dreaming in a sigh,
Today the music goes to die,
In a cold dark limbo where I awake lie
in a digital haze longing for the crash of this economic phase,
This is my world where the mal-nourished
are sold into an industry of surrogacy,
Race, caste, intellect : a job for every kind
marketed in the name of a vacancy provided..
Where I have fallen behind to understand
the new definitions of slavery or bravey
or progress or regression or business
of organic paper cups from Amazonia at your tea party
Where am I gonna go? (yeah)
Where are we gonna go next?
Yeah everything to lose ..
Roads swept clean in control of non-conformist human minds
that the so-called “guardians of the people” systematically bind,
This is the story of my generation
where I live in a world loaded with information
Who pass through universities,
brains processed through factories and salaries,
Driving past bridges cross-country
looking for a vision, a vision, a vision
Oh, looking for a vision of reality, of eternity

Luminosity
04:48
|
|||
|
I think about a path
beyond my lonely chamber,
Would you like to take my hand
to a land and sea?
Where a warm dusk
awakens your desire
REFRAIN :
Soft opulent fruit,
Serenade, sleep in my embrace
I wonder if the world we once knew
has turned into a land of broken dreams,
But the light in your eyes
satisfies my hope,
Our feet takes me out my window (REFRAIN)
Soft opulent fruit
Soft opulent fruit
Warm flaring sun
Warm flaring, warm flaring, warm flaring sun
(REFRAIN)

Twist of the Worst
04:15
|
|||
|
The city’s blind
to my hopeless cries,
Living beneath
the winter midst,
The night is cold,
-a long endless road,
And I drown
in a sorrow profound,
And it won’t go away,
REFRAIN:
I’m going round and round,
Everything I’ve learnt,
Only to find a shadow
of hanging illusions, delusions
of every twist of the worst
And as I wake
heavy in pain,
I fight the sting
of my broken wing,
It’s left a mark
on my back (yeah),
Won’t go,
it won’t go away -ay
And it won’t go away, (REFRAIN)
Is it just a shadow?
It’s just an illusion
Illusion, delusion,
contemplation and emotion,
confusion and desolation
of a world (that) sits
on the edge of collapse,
My body lies numb
in an infinite limbo of words
and digital glitches,
Space invaders
(of) unfathomed consciousness
before my motionless mass
in outer space
sucked into the black hole
of mysterious fright and confusion ..
(REFRAIN)

What Not
03:55
|
|||
|
Let the fire lead the way
you gotta drive to the end of the day,
You’ve reached an age of no return
embrace the change, rise, walk and run,
Keep your eyes on the road
A new horizon’s shining through,
You gotta move, you gotta groove
Get yourself now on the move
REFRAIN:
Baby, baby, you gotta keep the fire burnin’,
Baby, baby, you gotta keep the fire
You gotta keep the fire burning
Wake up now, get up and
Get on your feet and run,
Don’t waste it, time’s limited
Get on your feet and …
Get up now, wake up and
Get on your feet and run,
Don’t waste it, time’s limited
Get a move on!
You’ve been rollin’ despite the fight
dragged around in the dark of the night,
It took you pain to see the truth,
Get on up and untie the noose,
Break the chain, this viscious game
that’s designed to keep you down,
A freedom from, a freedom to (do)
And the freedom just to be…
REFRAIN:
It’s now or never, there’s a world beyond the frontier,
It’s now or never, ain’t nothin certain of tomorrow,
Baby, baby, you gotta keep the fire burnin’,
Baby, baby, you gotta keep the fire
You gotta keep the fire burning …
Wake up now, get up and
Get on your feet and run,
Don’t waste it, time’s limited
Get on your feet and …
Get up now, wake up and
Get on your feet and run,
Don’t waste it, time’s limited
Get on your feet and run!

All but a Memory
05:23
|
|||
|
Floods of images and lies,
Fools who strike and slaughter,
Drifting masks cross,
freeze, avoiding each other
When the endless flow
takes away reason,
When the words on the screen
turn to poison,
All that I have acquired
is but a memory,
Travels and smiles, people and miles,
Will I ever meet you again?
Freedom and chance, fires and dance,
Have you all gone forever?
REFRAIN
There is no hope for you, you and me,
So I was told by everyone now,
Yet how bad I would love (love)
Just to live, live again
Streams of murders in your dreams,
Madness taking over your silent screams,
And you seek in vain the sunlit plains,
-Utopias of the past
Human touch, kisses and bare hands,
Smiles, hugs, strangers, nice-to-meet-you man,
Dancers, surprises, warm embraces
All gone forever and ever
REFRAIN
You know I’ve lost all hope, I’ve lost all hope
for you, you and me,
Yet how bad I would love,
How bad I would love just to live again..
Oh.. there is no hope, there is no hope,
Baby, there is, there is no hope ,
(I hope for travels, miles and people’s smiles) x2
miles and miles,
Yet how bad I would love,
Have you, have you, have you, have you all gone
There is no hope now for you and me

Heaven's Dreams
03:27
|
|||
|
Crickets sing
on a warm night sky,
A glow worm’s soft glimmering light
shines ever so bright,
The great Ursa major, the celestial bear,
leaps off the earth to flee into the blue,
The tree sap will return to
the warm cradle underworld
REFRAIN:
So that’s why
the autumn leaves and ivy’s wings,
Aqua musings of heaven’s dreams
are washed in crimson red
Chickadees: Mizar and Alcor,
There’s Robin and Alkaid on his tail,
Robin shoots off an arrow that hurts
Ursa major the bear,
The dear bear’s blood colours the sky
a deep, deep red,
the leaves of the forest and on
Robin’s red breast (REFRAIN)
Go! Get away, they’re on your tail,
Lay your net and hibernate,
And they’ll be compromised (REFRAIN)

Merchandise
04:46
|
|||
|
People up and down the fairy road,
Trying to catch up with the money toll,
“Scrollin” through the shops of shoes and iphones
Yet blind to beings right before their eyes
You walk and run and fly high
But commercial Christmas that makes you cry inside
And as you keep on buying
what you own by working,
The coloured lights that blind,
You are what they bind
REFRAIN:
Another day in paradise
Another day I think I’ll rise
But empty is what I feel inside
With my shopping cart of merchandise
Rolling past in their fancy cars,
Poured out a cash chunk in a fat cigar,
Forgotten is the kindness, peace of mind,
Searching for a goddess they won’t find
In your endless quest for something new,
You realise that there ain’t nothing true,
You try, try to let go of this game
But you live only by your pay (REFRAIN)
People up and down the fairy road,
You try to walk and run and fly high,
Try to catch up with the money toll,
The songs of carols make you wanna cry inside,
Don’t you every gonna let them get inside your head,
No, baby don’t you let them get you down, down, down, down
Don’t you every gonna let them get inside your head,
No, babe, don’t let you down, don’t let you down...
Don’t you every gonna let them get inside your head,
No, baby don’t you let them get you down, down, down, down
Try to catch up with the money toll,
You try to walk and run and fly high,
Don’t you every gonna let them get inside your head,
No, baby don’t you let them get you down, down, down, down
Don’t you every gonna let them get inside your head,
No, babe, don’t let you down, don’t let you down...
They will let you down,
They will let you down, down, down, down,
They will let you down,
They will let you down, down, down, down

Game Plan
03:46
|

|
Tell me what’s your game plan
Now that you’ve caught me
Will you be grand?
Or the usual deal?
Tell me baby what’s your game plan?
With me on your board now,
‘Coz now you know that I ain’t free for ya
What can your plan be?
You’re not the first to get on my heels
But do you think you’ll make me climb the hills?
Well if you (if you) want me giving up my freedom,
You better have a plan to keep me our of boredom,
‘Coz I’ll keep laughing,
I’ll keep dancing,
and I’ll keep living all the way,
Yeah I’ll keep going,
I’ll keep pushing,
You can go away
‘Coz anytinme I might fly away to find the wind
Your love has to be strong tomorrow as it is today,
All I can promise is that I won’t compromise
Oh, you’re not the first, no!
You’re not the last, no!
to get on my heels,
But do you, but do you,
but do you think you’ll make me
climb, climb the hills,
If you want me givin up,
If you want me giving up my freedom
You better have a good reason, boy
Don’t make me run,
Don’t make me run away,
Don’t make me run, run, run,
Run away, run away, run away

Take you Down
04:17
|
|||
|
All you do is talk loud on your show,
Proving how you love being a facho,
You own the game, you own the minds,
There’s no one that you can’t blind,
You play the whites against the blacks,
You’ve got the numbers that guard your back,
We know it all, there’s nothing new,
That’s why we’re coming for you
REFRAIN:
You really think you’re upswing?
And that your chance isn’t turning?
But all as one, we’re waiting
to take you down, take you down
Buy your way up, use your cash, use your friends,
Use your bloody lucky hand,
(You) call for murder, (you) call for crime,
Anything just for your dime,
Turn up the fear and the hate
call us “jews”, call us “niggers”,
Go against the human race,
But when we come, we’ll come in numbers
to get you down face to face (REFRAIN)
“Moloch, solitude, filth, ugliness!
Ashcans and unattainable dollars!
Children screaming under the stairways!
Boys sobbing in the armies!
Moloch! The heavy judger of men!
Greed and your power have
broken down the lives of every innocent man,
Your dollars in trillions are
hidden under covers of your moralist laws
We have had enough !
We have come for you !
(REFRAIN)

Rise
05:10
|
|||
|
Dreaming out loud
and looking around,
I see things
You wouldn’t believe,
Zombie children,
adults like slaves,
Torn, unhappy
yet bow to a plastic god
I don’t know
I was never really sure
if mankind
will ever be pure,
Will we ever change
our sick and strange
way of living
And fight for a better life?
Oh, armageddon!
Fires in the jungle, birds falling dead,
Let alone the humans, they are killed by the million,
Put down your guns and raise your heads
REFRAIN:
(Fight now, tomorrow is one day too late,
Right now, together we will rise) x2
I hear, day after day,
Sad news in every way,
But why should we accept this role to
renounce our dream and yearn for a better world
Oh, our utopias !
Living up as brothers in peace and love
Raised upon the soil of the same big mama,
No gods, no guns, anarchy yeah.. (REFRAIN)
Tomorrow we will,
together we will,
tomorrow we will rise
Go on and fight now, tomorrow is one day to late,
Right now, tomorrow we rise,
Can’t you see, ‘morrow is one day too late,
We will rise
(REFRAIN)

Waking in the sun
04:32
|
|||
|
I wake up naked,
first day of my life,
I breathe a pure wind
in the forest of my mind,
I feel the fire of the sun in my soul,
I keep it shining inspite of
all the eyes on me
It's so hard outside,
So I pretend to be like everybody else,
I try to find the reason
to keep moving on,
Still believing thatI still can go on..
REFRAIN :
Waking in the world,
Waking in the sun,
Waking all the earth
in search of you, yeah
Running in the fields,
Rolling in the waves,
Reaching up the sky
in search of you …
I smell the ocean
salty in the night,
I trace your footprints
in the ephemeral tide,
This desire is raging undefined,
Still I'm falling through
a tangle of despair,
It's so hard outside,
So I pretend to be like everybody else,
I try to find the reason
to keep moving on,
still believing that I still can go on..
(REFRAIN)
..Running in the fields,
Rolling in the waves,
Reaching up the sky
in search of you
