The plans, of a race gone mad
A final solution to pass
All dreams are taken from their lives
No hope for the young all the old realize
He is but a solitary man
Whose prejudice will spread like a flame
Throughout the land
He's enslaving those who will be free
Etching his own name in black
For all of us to hear and see
A yellow star for those accused
There's no escape once you've been pinned
A relocation only to confuse
And all their propaganda to hide the awful truth
Screams - In the night
Scars so deep that they won't mend
Screams - In the night
In their souls they can't pretend
Six million lives on the hands of heads of state
They followed orders from above
Then one man when all was lost
He took his life, he'll never pay the price
They cannot hide or defend or disguise
For the truth is well known there'll be no alibis
Judgement will pass and their fates won't be kind
For the final solution was mass genocide
He was standing all alone
Trying to find the words to say
When every prayer he ever prayed
Was gone
And the dreams he¹s never owned
Are still safely tucked away
Until tomorrow he just
Carries on
See the Devil in the
streets at night
See him running in the pouring rain
See him grinning 'neath
a twisted light
I¹ll be back again
See the people standing in a row
See them nodding like
a field of grain
No one sees the sickle though
Coming 'cross the plain
And this he knows if nothing more
That waiting in the
dark like destiny
Are those who kissed the dogs of war
And there is no tomorrow
No tomorrow
Take a chance
Take a chance
See the Devil he is so intense
See the Devil go and change his name
What¹s the going price of innocence
It can¹t be the same
Is it dark when the moon is down
Is it dark with a single flame
If there¹s glass
falling all all around
I am not to blame
And this he knows if nothing more
That waiting in the
dark like destiny
Are those who kissed the dogs of war
And there is no tomorrow
No tomorrow
Take a chance
Burn the night away
Pictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to
nothing but this chance
I fear you
Your silence
Your blindless
See what you want to see
In darkness
One kindness
One moment
Tell me what you believe
I believe in nothing
Never really had to
In regards to your life
Rumors that are not true
Who¹s defending evil
Surely never I
Who would be the witness
Should you chance to die
Father can you hear me
This is not how was meant to be
I am safe and so are you
As for the others destiny
I believe that situations
All depend on circumstance
Look away
Look away
Pictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood in his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to
Nothing but this chance
I've been gone a long long time, waiting for you I din't want to see you go, oh, no, no And now it's hurting so much, what can I do? I wanted you to be my wife The days are passing slowly, since you've gone Your memories are all I have, yes I have I sit here waiting but you'll never show Without you I can't carry on, ooh my baby You said you'd always love me, all of my life And then you said your last goodbye, yeah, goodbye Why the sudden changes, why all the lies? I should have seen it in your eyes The endless hours of heartache, waiting for you My summer love has turned to rain, all the pain The silent emptiness of one sided love My life means nothing now you're gone, ooh my baby
Κάποιος κρέμασε τους ανθρώπους ανάποδα
Και η πόλη αυτή ξέμεινε από κραυγή.
Καθώς η θάλασσα εκεί μέσα φούντωνε
Κι ερχόταν,
Οι γραβάτες μας κυμάτιζαν προς τα βουνά
Και οι ματιές μας κόντρα στον άνεμο,
Πέρα προς τον ωκεανό.
Τα αστέρια πέφτανε με λίγη βροχή μαζί
Χαρίζοντας ασημένιο χρώμα στη γη .
Η Λίλιθ χόρευε ανάμεσα σε αποκαΐδια
Και ξεραμένα τριαντάφυλλα .
Εγώ προσευχόμουν για σένα,
Για τα βράδια σου ,
Για τις μέρες σου,
Για τις ένδοξες στιγμές σου
Και για τα στοιχειωμένα φτερά σου.
Τώρα οι ψυχές που κάποτε θάψαμε
Δίπλα στο πέτρινο συντριβάνι,
Βγαίνουν και ξεχύνονται στην πόλη αυτή.
Χάνονται στα σοκάκια της
Μυρίζουν τα αρώματά της
Χαράζουν τους τείχους της
Με συνθήματα και στίχους από τραγούδια.
Και ένα μπλε φόντο για τη θάλασσα…
Στα όνειρά μου η πόλη είναι γεμάτη νερό
Και οι άνθρωποι έχουν το ίδιο πρόσωπο,
Μα χωρίς εσένα μέσα τους.
Τους κρεμάω σιγά σιγά σε αόρατα σκοινιά
Μέχρι να σε βρω.
Πριν προλάβουν και βυθιστούν τα πάντα
Πριν ανοίξω τα μάτια
Και τα αρνηθώ…
Every day i spend my time, drinking wine, feeling fine
Waiting here to find a sign, that I can understand
yes I am
In the days between the hours, Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads into the air
I don't care if I ever know, there I go
Don't push your love too far
your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are, in a broken dream
On the pad before my eyes, paper cries, telling lies
The promises you gave, from the grave of a broken heart
In the days between the hours, Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads into the air
I don't care if I ever know, there I go
Don't push your love too far
your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are, in a broken dream
Did someone bow their head?
Did someone break the bread?
Good people are in bed, before nine o' clock
Every day i spend my time, drinking wine, feeling fine
Waiting here to find a sign, that I can understand
yes I am
Oh, don't push your love too far
though your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are, in a broken dream
Here what I say, okay!
I sit here in my lonely room
Ivory towers, bloody flowers
I sit here in my lonely room
Right here in my lonely room
Uh, that's where you are
Ο τοίχος, που πάνω του 'γραψαν οι Προφήτες,
ραγίζεται συθέμελα:
Καθώς ηλιαχτίδες ξαστράφτουν λαμπερά
πάνω από τα όργανα του θανάτου,
όταν κάθε άνθρωπος διχάζεται,
μ' εφιάλτες και μ' όνειρα.Κανείς δε θαδρέψει δάφνες,
ότανσιγή θα καταπνίξει τις κραυγές.
Ανάμεσα στις σιδηρές πύλες του Πεπρωμένου,
οι σπόροι των καιρών, είχαν σπαρθεί
και ποτιστεί, απότη δράση εκείνων,
που ξέρουν κι είναι γνωστοί.
Η Γνώση ειν' ένας θανάσιμος σύντροφος,
άμακανείς δε βάζει τους κανόνες.
Η μοίρα ολάκερης της ανθρωπότητας, νιώθω,
πως είναι στα χέρια ηλιθίων!
Σύγχυση θα 'ν' ο επιτάφιος μου.
Καθώςσούρνομαι στο ραγισμένο, τσακισμένο μονοπάτι,
αν τα καταφέρουμε, μπορούμενα χαλαρώσουμ' όλοι
και να γελάμε.
Αλλά νιώθω πως αύριο θα κλαίω!
Ναι φοβάμαι πως αύριο θα κλαίω! The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.
Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.
Night is falling I think of you I'm walking home I think of you And as he calls me, yes I do I think of you How you doing? I think of you And I smile, I can't hide I think of you
I don't know where your days are spent Your lovers and you friends But I know for sure Of who you have been thinking
Far beyond the city's lights Are two who dream a life Forgive them if they never find their freedom Their freedom
It's so late I think of you He walks me home I think of you I'm so sorry, I'm so tired I think of you And in the shadows I think of you I close my eyes I think of you Now I'm falling I think of you
I think of you As he calls my name, yes I do I think of you I think of you I think of you I think of you I think of you
And in feeling I think of you And in breathing I think of you And in seeing I think of you And in living I think of you
This fear is only the beginning
All for the loving hand
Yes I smile and I agree
It is a good night to shiver
A good tounge might make it right
All Ive said above a whisper
There is a sorrow to be desired
To be sorrows desire
What they say is true
It is a dirty blue
This color around you
Your curled up warm
In your own little corner of Sodom
Did you agree to believe
This fall has no bottom
There is a sorrow to be desired
To be sorrows desire
All we move by the book of numbers
Im held together by string
Ii hear not the voices of others
The bells of Leuven ring
Fear not the faces of brothers
Ive come apart it seems
I see not the faces are covered
Im in your amber ring
Your amber ring
These eyes, do you hide behind these
cold blue eyes?
I know I want to know
The light, driven by the pale blue skies
I go where to go
Despised, and driven by
these echoed eyes
I know where to go
A sign, written by
these tear stained eyes
I go do go
blurred were my eyelines, hindering...
-to touch omnio
so let me belong, eat me raw,
stick me empty
with your hungry claws-bring me light
can you feel the tension?
set me free from this sleep,
leave me be to
judge my own creation-bring me love
and as I burned my fragile skin
-touched omnio
All this can not go on anymore,
these thorns
they tear me to pieces
The sign is given your sign is given
I am illusioned
feed my lust and hunger-my addiction
the thought of a
naked appearance facing
the rest of the world, left me in
chaos-a prey without a common address
drowning in salt water- can do
nothing at all
I am left here begging for mercy...
In this room; when I found images of
poetry; I lost my deed, my shelter and
my pain did they leave you
unstained?
you may swallow all my precious lies
you may stay and you may follow me
further down the thin and
crumbling line
I bleed for my loss and hunger
-my addiction
though the thought of a
naked appearance
leave in me the wonders and words
Can burdens relieve me from slumber
in unpleasant worlds?
Can the essence of bone regard me
re-birth?
[bardo]
These eyes, did I die behind these
cold blue eyes? Did I know
where to go?
This light, eclipsed in a worn disguise
did glow even though my cries were
driven by
those echoed lies No where to roam
Open my eyes, enlightened
the child that
whispered bardo omnio
Let me belong, eat my raw,
stick me empty with
your hungry claws-bring me light
can you feel the tension burning?
The soundtrack of our lives,
on an early April morning,
may be able to re-define
the standards of this restless emptiness...
Carved out of velvet, draped in truth
-to reach omnio
Let me be strong, let me
draw all the lines
that fall upon the floor-bring me life
let me feel electric tension
I am greater, taller and a thousand times
smaller
From a ghost that told you where to go
to a piece of flesh that need to know
And as I turned my fragile skin
-I reached omnio
I have gathered bricks throughout a
lifetime
to build a house where I will live
The door is where I write these words
-the window where I forgive
Restlessly I searched the hallway
for the truth of yesterday
But changes cast their ugly shadows
-the basement is there host today
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life
is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away......
Όσον ήλιος μεσουρανεί
κι έρημος άμμο γεννά
όσο σπάζουνε κύματα
μ' αχό στη παραλία
όσο βαστούνε άνεμοι
κι ουράνιο τόξο κι άστρα
Θα συνεχίζουμε ν' ανοίγουμε δρόμο
Ω ναι! θα συνεχίζουμε τη προσπάθεια
έστω απλά σπρώχνωντας τον καιρό Όσο μάχονται εντός μας
προφάσεις και πεποιθήσεις
όσο τυφλά, τρελά κι άπληστα
οριοθετούμε τη ζήση μας
