[Music: Rafael Bittencourt and Kiko Loureiro / Lyrics: Rafael Bittencourt]
Remember the first time you've faced the dark
Why were you so afraid?
Hiding so many secrets inside
When fears have got to be tamed
I promise I'll still be there
To keep my promise
I'll still be there
To watch over dreams at night
And follow you through the day
You shot the doors but I'm right behind
Where shadows remain
I promise I'll still be there
To say I promise
I 'll still be there
Don't ask me why we'll be like brothers
Skating on the ice of mortal loneliness
Live and learn with your mind
Find a way out of madness
You dream on (of) paradise
Ego Painted Grey Lyrics I feel the pain but I'm afraid to cry
All the time, desperate hiding tears
My life is boring and I count the days
On and on, woe is here to stay
Only if God would show a sign for me
Oh... Only if God could hold my begging hands
This endless torture's building up my rage
Holding on, hide my agony
I'm getting weary just to be alive
All I want is help!!!
So, you dove into the dark beyond yourself?
Lost your way to find the surface once again
Insomnia will kill all your solemn nights... Oh!
Haunting your despair!!!
Sorrow made your life a living hell
Lights are fading
Caught inside the black-holed inner-self
Ego painted grey...
Insomnia will hold pleasures in a shell
And your defiant stare!!!
Sorrow made your life a living hell
Lights are fading
Caught inside the black-holed inner-self
[On a brothel-tavern, a gypsy prostitute sees in the eyes that he is the chosen one and reads him cards instead of giving him carnal pleasure. "The words of the old man won't have any sense until you find the morning star", says the prostitute. "Your mission is important, but it is not in the army". The voyager is desperately seeking for redemption to his mind and spirit, like a roaming wolf seeks for food. She fills him with doubts; saying that love will drag him out of his path.]
[...During the conquest of Xerigordon Fortress, The Shadow Hunter is injured and has to run away to escape from the troops of Kilij Arslan. Loosing blood, he collapses before getting back to Constantinople. He dreams about the lost scrolls hidden in the ruins of the Temple of Solomon and inside lost caves by the Dead Sea.]
I remember the blood on his hands
So ashamed regretting his faults
So defenseless he came from the darkness
We spoke and had a good talk
Dark old hat reminds me of someone
I find hard to recall
Bowed his head surrendering to sorrow
Wears the face of war
Desperate cries:
(Desperate cries)
Running in circles
(Mourining in vain)
Resigning to terror
(A sinful warfare)
A sinful warfare
(Innocents die)
Lost in the faith from my fragile heart...
...From my heart
Wearing black, a bow without arrows
God, have mercy on his soul
Eyes of dread, entrenched in horror
My devotions are gone!
(Desperate cries)
Running in circles
(Mourining in vain)
Resigning to terror
(A sinful warfare)
Atrocious attack
(Atrocious attack)
My crusaders faith
Drowns in religious blood
But I'll fight till the end
Gonna find my Holy Grail
Running blind against the faith
Reason slips away
Churches falling like castles on the sand
Ends the Holy War
Have the good for bad.
(What does a man gain from his work?
Under the sun where he labors
What is so good for a man in life?
During his days he's just like a shadow
Vanitas! Vanitas! Utters the oracle
A chasing after the wind
Meaningless! Meaningless searches for wisdom
Everything is in vain like your hunting for shadows)
Lost my pride, fought in vain
Had to find reasons to my pain - Oh!
Running blind against the faith
Running blind again
Church is falling like castles on the sand
Ends the Holy War
Jesus was a man
With a heart, with a mind
With a body, with a soul
So divine as your own
God has no mind, has no heart
Has no body, has no soul and no resemblance of you.
I can't see you mama
But I can hardly wait
Oh, to touch and to feel you mama
Oh, I just can't keep away
In the heat and the steam of the city
Oh, it's got me running and I just can't brake
So say, you'll help me, mama
'Cause its getting so hard, woah
Now I can't keep you mama
But I know you're always there
You listen, you teach me, mama
And I know inside you care
So get down, down here beside me
Oh, you ain't going nowhere
No, I won't hurt you, mama
But its getting so hard, woah
Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, argh
Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, argh
Can't you see me here, mama?
Mama, mama, mama please
Can't you feel my heart?
Can't you feel my heart?
Can't you feel my heart? Oh
Now listen to me mama, mama
Mama, you're taking away my last chance
Don't take it away
Can't you feel my heart?
Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, argh
Now I can't see you mama
But I know you're always there
You taunt, you tease me, mama
But I never, never, never, can keep away, yeah
It's the heat and the steam of the city
Oh, got me running and I just can't brake
So stay don't leave me, mama
'Cause its getting so hard, woah
Don't go, no, no, don't go
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't go
Don't go, don't go
Yeah, don't go, don't go
[Music: Kiko Loureiro , Rafael Bittencourt, Edu Falaschi and Aquiles Priester]
[Lyrics: Rafael Bittencourt]
Fly from the haze
Jump on the prey
Scaring away
Capture's in vain
Daring the hills
Mountains ahead
Roaming and stare
Lonely again
Perish the heat
Succumbing breath
Last but not least
Die or slay
Hide on the field
Perceiving eyes
Hunting the prey
In paradise
No one is to know
Secrets of your soul
No one knows for sure
Still wonder why
I'm waiting, just waiting
Answers to return
Don't let your dreams deny you
When it's time to learn
I'm standing, I'm waiting
Time has no reverse
Can someone see them falling
Bones will feed the dirt
Hunters and Prey
Living a dream just for one night
Feels like the last day of my life
Roaming somewhere just for a while
When all the feelings lay dorment inside
Here we go, marching on...
Unconsciously far from this world
We're knowing foundations of all
in such extreme virtuality
All we don't need is the proof to believe
Here we go, marching ahead
Buried deep in the sand...
I recognize this place,
All those faces, all these scenes
Though I'm so often there
It's somewhere I've never been
(Over and over again)
...It's so extreme
[The man falls in love with the young Muslim lady, and finds himself divided between the warmth and comfort of a humble life and his hunger for wisdom.. He is writing his dream and revelations on the empty book given by the Jewish oracle as his two sons are growing up . Four years have passed and his happiness seems to be a gift from God, waving deep into his heart. No other feeling could be greater than to hold and protect his beloved ones. Yet, he isn't complete. Should he share his knowledge and revelations? Would people care? And, as the great meanings of life are unveiling to his eyes, the Shadow Hunter is tormented by an extreme anxiety.. The urge for shouting reminds the moments prior to the troops' attack. A disturbing Waiting Silence, hovering seconds before the desperate screams.]
Caught in space and time
Like a bird in a cage
Cruelly confined
In a passing matters state
You suddenly realize
That the wrong is the right
Daring the laws
Ready to put up a fight
But...
Love will drag your heart away
To a world where dreams are made
Can't hide away
When your helpless mind obeys
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Forever the fate is hungry
for your soul
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Worth your while until you're gone
All the secrets of life reveal
To my eyes I can't conceal
And again I fly away
To a world where dreams are made
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Forever the fate is hungry
for your soul
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Worth your while until you're gone
Life's too short to grieve in sorrow
(Still are the cries)
Fate is waiting for your soul
(Secrets inside)
Live your life like no tomorrow
(Still are the cries)
Worth you're while until gone
[Loureiro / Bittencourt]
No doubts!
You're the result of the chances you take
Face the circumstance!
Have you become who you wished to be?
Resigning to what you loved and cared
There's no way out!
Memories will come to remind you some day
How it could have been
Through every door you will step in
Another choice you're stuck between
Don't look back. Just make your way ahead
A window to nowhere
The void in which I stare
Now that I've come so far where do I go from here?
Decision just came in time
A new door is open
You have to go again… decide!
You finally realize
The whole world you're facing
The window of your life… good bye!
A window to nowhere
Wide-eyed in great despair
Now that I've come so far where do I go from here?
Life is drowned in fears
The river of my tears
[bonus track]
[Composição: Rafael Bittencourt]
So now I see
How nice it could be
To rocket through the star
Like a fire bullet through the sky
Beautiful sight
Silent and bizarre
Wonder where you are
Rocket like a bullet through the sky
Circling on orbit through the night
Peace of mind - not so far away
Till I find my way back home
So close to me
Reaching out - to learn how good life is
Living in a world like this
So close to me
Our blue marbles just a grain of sand
And the universe is waiting for us there
Out of this world..
Into the darkest night
Hoping that I´m not alone
People are lost on that solid ground
And there´s something I want you to know
We are slowly destroying this world
No other planet
Nowhere is better than here
Into the night
Out of this world
Spinning around the night
Seeing the people so small
I see how much we have screwed our lives
And there´s something I´m trying to say
There'll be no second chance for our race
Circled horizons
Staring at our lonely world
Into the night
Like a fire bullet through the sky
An eagle breaks the silence
And overflies the field
My eyes will try to follow
Till it vanishes away
Like candles in the darkness
We fight against the wind
Devotion to your idols
Soon will overthrow the king
Out of order
Taming borders
Tearing down the fences
On and on and after all
The century has gone
Racism jumble
Turbulence
My eyes believe we have gone to the end
Ordinary Earth
Sailing through the space
Population alienation
Losing all affection
Calling on to heaven's hope
To watch for my protection
Out of luck
Potential stuck
Remote controlled
By the T.V. again
Carries human souls
Lead us the journey of our fate
So come millennium sun
Won't you show us the way
Future's begun
So words from my mouth come
Whispering for your return
Pictures a sunset on the lake
Mirrors of crystal your portrait
Walking on this field while I wait
So come millennium sun
Won't you show us the way
Future's begun
So words come from my mouth
Whispering for your return
Show us the future's began
Inside the cage of your mind
Waiting for the day
Just a victim of the guilt
Living in despair
Out on your own in the dark
Sinners meet the saints
Bloody river overflows
You don't really care
Setting on fire
Your own freedom
Played the hardest game
Now you will burn
Your eternal flame
Even the brave won't deny
Evil warns again
And your conscience isn't safe
Driving you insane
Playing with fire
Put your freedom
Through the hardest test
Don't blame the scare
On your final day
One last minute passes by your soul
Just one minute lost in the horizon
You will face the judgement day
(Scream your voice free to the air)
Waiting for the judgement day
One last minute passes by your soul
Just one minute more in the horizon
One more minute passes by your eyes
Just one minute less in the horizon
Then you face the judgement day
(Scream your voice free to the air)
There'll no more time to pray
(Sweat in pain you are afraid)
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.
Oh, I been flying... mama, there aint no denyin
Ive been flying, aint no denyin, no denyin
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where Ive been.
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My shangri-la beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high and true, when movin through kashmir.
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.
When Im on, when Im on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when Im down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well Im down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
When the world had a tragic fate
We were draining the poisoned sea
Though the scenes were indeed too sad
Only prayers were taking lead
Oh! Just some of us survived
At least a discent woman and a man
Wide awake! Am I alone in this place
Someone hear me ? my only hope!
The Acid Rain is burning
Right into your eyes
Again your dreams may loose the glow
Allow the sorrow of your thoughts to meet sunrise
And shall the hopefull words
Bring love inside your heart
So the world knew a tragic fate
We were draining the deadly sea
And the scenes were indeed too sad
Only prayers were taking lead
Vai minha tristeza
E diz a ela que sem ela não pode ser,
Diz-lhe numa prece
Que ela regresse
Porque não posso mais sofrer.
Chega de saudade,
A realidade é que sem ela
Não há paz, Não há beleza,
É só tristeza e a melancolia
Que não sai de mim,
Não sai de mim,
Não sai.
Mas, se ela voltar,
Se ela voltar que coisa linda!
Que coisa louca!
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Do que os beijinhos
Que eu darei na sua boca.
Dentro dos meus braços, os abraços
Hão de ser milhões de abraços
Apertado assim, colado assim, calada assim,
Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim,
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio
De viver longe de mim.
Não quero mais esse negócio
De você viver assim,
Vamos deixar esse negócio
Sealing light
Nothing to see
Like a miracle life
Starts with the pain
Forever this will be
Close my eyes
Thunders won't cease
Crawling down to the edge
I break down and weep
Tears on the river deep
Oh! Back to the sea
Shout loud
Moving ahead
Ride the horses of justice
Virtues of men, yawns!
Down and out
Losing my head
Like a dream you're returning
Back from the dead-awake!
Shadows will fade some day
All the heroes go down
Shed their blood on the land
Dreaming somehow
The divine will now stand
Heroes go down
With their hearts in their hands
Building their castles on the sand
Haunted by the heavy clouds
Thunder scaring away
Howling like a mountain wolf
Bad winds
Small breeze
Hollow ice
Autumn now shall shine
Oceans
Moveless eventide
Far away from sight
From the moonlight
Bring up dreams
Straight from hands to thee
Old born town
On the streets
Nights turns to fantasy
My dreams and thoughts and fate
The balance´s at your feet
Oh angel born too late
For foreman to meet
For live with emotions must
I dream to think you're mine
What purity I've lost
So tender as the wine
In what muse senses froze this?
Could the lights feels weak?
My dreams are far to me
The balance´s at your feet
Oh angel born too late
For foreman to meet
What pure emotions must
I dream to think you´re mine
What purity I´ve lost so tender
I should find...
Around my careless words
I dream to think you´re mine
What purity I´ve lost
So tender and divine?
What purity I´ve lost!
To think you´re mine
Down to the falling leaves
that are brokened throught the dance
Around my careless words
I dream to think you´re mine
[Loureiro]
Shaken out of liquid dreams you're under
The hellfire-red, insane nightmares
Is coming back inside
Patiently you walk again
Through the lane of a sandman's pain
Inner urge, tough beliefs
Is the way to a land of free
Howling strong
Shouting loud
The fear should be cast out now!
Awoken from a eternal sleep
You're trembling
In deadly black
With painful eyes
Delusion is back inside
Cry for more
To be sure
And find your own real truth
Let your heart out, put your soul in it!
Time to fly away and let your mind go free
No denying what this life should give
From mistakes you learn to forgive
Scream your heart out! Dig your soul in it
Time to fly again and let your mind go free
No denying what this life should give
Building dreams of your hope is the key
Feel the truth of your heart to relief
A lethal bolt pierces the air
Like a falling star
Young eyes are observing in the darkness
His stare's reflecting fright
And scared he's struggling hard
To go back
Uneasy warders guard
The jail on quiet nights
Young eyes contemplating somewhere to hide
Mankind will soon learn
That the end has come in time
Dividing lands, retracing
All the borders will colide
Revealing ages when the absence
Of forgiveness rules our lives
Home how I go
My badge is wearing out
Written on the sand
Words to reconcile - unholy wars
Forgive us our father
For we have sinned
Blinded by pride
We know not what we do
Thy kingdom will be done
By holy wars
The battle is over
But the war still rages on!
Bridge
[The Shadow Hunter starts a new religion, gathering people around him to spread the truth for him revealed. Words of peace and love sowed like seeds in the hearts of the wise; but fruitlessly dropped on the rocky soil of the hearts of the blind. 2The future is a consequence of what we do now. The present exposes the Sprouts of Time".]
I lay my eyes in the past
From the first day to the last
Several things we had to learn
Countless mistakes from times of yore
Now we restart, we recreate
Your present is your fate
Don't turn your backs on mankind!
Only yourselves you wanna save
Ignorance burns just like a fire
Consuming people on its flame
Fellow creatures, so wonderful!
So different and so grand
Sprouts of time
The roots evolving
The seeds for the future
were scattered yesterday
Tomorrow's harvest field we plant
today
Your crown will ever last
The tall trees of life
(Life experience)
Break your shell reach the light!
(Mind and sould)
Find your path to the skies
(Will come around on a thunder sound)
Raging with power and fury the new
born world
Sprouts of time
The roots evolving
The seeds from the past
branching out
Growing forever
Hands on heart
Embrace each other
The dances, the faces, the smiles
Behind the past
New seasons bring the chance
To start again
Tall trees will ever last
[Cover from Iron Maiden]
I left alone, my mind was blank.
I needed time to get the memories from my mind.
What did I see, can i believe,
That what I saw last night was real and not just fantasy.
Just what I saw, in my old dreams,
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me.
'Cause in my dreams, it's always there,
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair.
The night was black, was no use holding back,
'Cause I had to see, was someone watching me.
In the mist, dark figures move and twist,
Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell.
666 the number of the beast.
Hell and fire was spawned to be released.
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised,
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky.
In the night, the fires burning bright,
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done.
666 the number of the beast.
Sacrifice is going on tonight.
This can't go on, I must inform the law.
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream.
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes,
They seem to mesmerize...can't avoid their eyes,
666 the number of the beast.
666 the one for you and me.
I'm coming back, I will return,
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn.
I have the fire, I have the force.
It's New Year Day;
Looking up to the sky
We all await for the fireworks to fly
And I hold you
And I stand by you now...
Over the bay darkness breaks to a glow
But still the sands keep on running too slow
And I love you
And I care for you now...
Green comes after white
Night turns to day into the fire
Look at our dreams flying away
Climbing up higher
Along the shore timeless faces reflect
The innocence of childhood never left
And I miss you
And I cry for you now
Green comes after white
Night turns to day into the fire
Look at our dreams flying away
Climbing up higher
And the ones who we trust
And the moments of joy
Mirrored there is a glow
That will dazzle our eyes
Here is my heart, in my soul
Sharing the miracle of Hope
In my heart, in my mind, in my soul...
Stay hand in hand, stay with me
Love is the keys to believe
In our hearts, in our minds, in our souls!
...But now no matter what I say,
Enchanted by fierce desire
Souls consumed with haunting fire
An empty guarantee
A stolen freedom
Deceptive illusions rise
Take the chance to mend your pride
Been tortured and humbled
Never again
Lost in a maze of sounds
Clarity escapes
The wispers chase you away
Numb and unaware
Hollow, the world where you belong
Lies you have believed for far too long
Laid low, life has come undone
Nothing stays the same, for time is all you own
All you own
Under a cold dead sky
In the sea you'll learn what you must be
Stretch for hell as you seek revenge
Bear the scars of your inhuman rage
Lost in a maze of sounds
Clarity escapes
The wispers chase you away
Numb and unaware
Hollow, the world where you belong
Lies you have believed for far too long
Laid low, life has come undone
Nothing stays the same
For time is all you own
Where you come from?
I hear an angel song
It seems to be a call
Eros's chant of love
Take me through the storm
When you came from
Afar it took so long
Spirit brought me life
A passion at first sight
Lend thy hand my heart
Nymphs dance around the isle
A phantom screams and haunt me all the time
Then you come!
Like an angel from the skies
Princess of my dreams
I wonder why You are gone
Someday you'll return
Where do you come from?
Faraway? Beyond?
Virgin as a diamond
Precious like a child
Lend thy hand my heart
We've got to believe we'll join our lives
Over the vengeance, treason and lies
We can be one
We can restart
Forgive my mistakes
(Time will tell)
Forgive my mistakes
Someday!
Since I arrived on the shore
I've seen all my past (Someday)
A new force come from the source
[When he wakes up, two Muslims men are carrying him away on a type of hammock hanging on a long piece of wood. Weak and frightened he can't react. Right above his head, while the sun is dawning, the Morning Star shines in the new day's sky. The six-points-shaped star presents a cross and the trident together as one. He understands the first sign as the wolves are howling. At that very moment, the first prophecy is accomplished. He will find out later, that the two men are brothers. They have decided to carry him to their house since they found him lying stained with blood on the ground.]
[... In the Muslim family house, their lovely sister Laura will take care of the crusader's wounds.]
Dawning time
Lights a new beginning
On the shadows of your eyes
Hurts inside
Wounded heart is healing
After all you will survive
All the time I was lost in the desert
Counting what was left from the
Illusions in my mind
Hopeless fights
Foolish thoughts we were in heaven
till we die, oh!
Death will bring us back
where we belong
Now you must decide before the
Dawn is brightening up the day
Announcing in the sky
the Morning Star
Nothing left to loose
I am going on my way tonight
(On my way and...)
Shouting to the moon
I'll be roaming till I find the Morning
Star - Oh!!!
Another chance you waste
I'm the owner of my days
I'll be howling through the night till
the end of time.
Look out!
All this time I was lost in the desert
Got to get away!
Now I must decide before the
Dawn is brightening up the day
Announcing in the sky
the Morning Star!
Nothing left to loose
I am going on my way tonight
(On my way and...)
Silent like the moon
I will wonder till I find the Morning
Star - Oh no!!!
Another chance you waste
Cause I'm going on my way tonight
(On my way and...)
Shouting to the stars
I'm the owner of my days
I'll be howling through the night till
the end of time. Oh!
End of time!
(5:34)
Been here for so long
On the morrow I'll dare
Silent and distant
Reaching out, unaware
Stealing the whispers
From my deepest request
And you watch me
Waiting for something new
My hands, as empty
As my body and soul
Could keep pretending
But in the heart I'd be gone...
Still stare at my face
But lost seem your eyes
Keep hold of the sails
Against the blue sky
Ooh, I'm intending
A way back to the sea
This emptiness burns inside
And leads on for endless miles
Don't let me go
Away across the sea,
It may be much more wide
Than what it seems to be
Ooh, I'm still searching
The way back to be freed
The loneliness hangs around us
However we can't see
Now let me go
Away across the sea,
The waves can't be as high
As they pretend to be
And now I know
In my heart, I won't forget
The sails against the blue sky
That taught me how to live
... with no sorrow
And tomorrow we'll share
Silence and distance
'till our faults are repaired
You'll be the mistress
Who I'll never forget.
(Bittencourt, Matos)
Sat beside the meadow
Watching weeds agrow
Cleaned up all the ashes
Of my soul
Wrote down my own sentence
Now you take your way
Fades the last remembrance
Of your lovely pretty face
I, after all,
Just a lonely man - a lonely heart!
Working on the future
Floating on fate
Faced the circunstances
Cleared up the shades, so
Make believe
There's no sorrow in your eyes
Can't you see
We could never get back from the start
Minutes waiting, life's been wasted
... maybe I wanna die some other day
Hear the whispers of your hope
The answer wasn't told
No, don't laugh seeing me cry
The end I've left behind
(... the whispers of your hope are left behind!)
Make believe
There's no sorrow in your eyes
Can't you see
We could never get back from the start
Minutes waiting, life's been wasted
And I've tried,
Maybe you deny
Words of peace
For the future of our lives
Bring to me
Something else than a broken heart
I won't wait 'till my life is wasted
(Loureiro, Bittencourt)
On the sand, by the sea
I left my heart to shed my grief
A vulture came begging me:
- Feed me with this piece of meat!
I won't give away
Something I need
On a garden nursery
I let my fancy wander free
Children playing around a tree
Sharing apples happily
Come and rest with me
Lay your hands on dreams
I'll wait here by your side
'till you fall asleep
I'll wait until you cry
(Matos)
Oh boys, I've seen the old man;
Straw mask around the forehead
The blaze, a blast and the awakening dead
(The magic seeds will spread...)
The bleeding warrior, he has fought
(Healing leaves, piranha teeth, nobody leaves this place 'till the
dawn!)
Against the passion, for the love
(Serpent skin, a savage scream, don't you believe, it grows and
grows...)
Oh boys, it's all so easy:
Warn up the soul
While the body is freezin'!...
- I swear it!
Against the men for the land,
Against the beast to survive
Against the demons to keep the faith
(The spirits and the fate...)
A word - together they will shout!
(Run and pray if you're afraid you better stay away from it all!)
A rumble shakes up all the ground
(Start to sing, to turn and spin, get rid of all your sins right
now!...)
Oh boys, it's all so easy:
Warm up the soul
While the body is freezin'!
A word - together they will shout!
(Healing leaves, piranha teeth, nobody leaves this place 'till the
dawn!)
Against the passion, for the love
(Start to sing, to turn and spin, get rid of all your sins right
now!...)
Oh boys, it's all so easy:
Warm up the soul
While the body is freezin'!
Still we can hope a single word together;
Warm up the soul...
Everynight I say a prayer
Look at me: nobody cares
Just a mirror, passing by...
Looked inside:
I've lost my pride...!
Stay with me not for so long
It's alright: no needs, no hope
Such a miracle, looking back...
Time gone by, and life wasn't bad...!
Lord, light my way
Fill these withered, careless hands...
Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
See, the birds are back...
At the docks and everywhere
Here in Lisbon, realized
This whole world so strange and divine
Lord, light my way
Fill these withered, careless hands...
Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
Oh, skies are falling down
Speed, run the thoughts inside your brain
Try to catch them once
And you'll be alone
There's nowhere to go
Speed, all the memories will come
Try to make them live
And you'll get so lost
From the present to the past
With speed we go
But still don't know
What's hidden in there
Out time is over!
Speed, like a thunderbolt
The future will take its place
Then could you stop time
Perhaps when you die?
With speed we go
But still don't know
What's hidden in there
Out time is over!
Faster than light we will find
A way out of the conscience
And the more we know, more we'll mind
It's matter of patience,
(1:15)
(Instrumental)
[Matos]
Days of pounding emptiness
Just so far away, no regret
to live beside the danger Running out of carelessness
Still unlinked the tips of a bridge
That gets no one to nowhere
Let me run away
Freed from lies, I won't forget
Escaping from this chains
I'll meet my love
Once again flying
Clouds from heaven So, now?
Tell me how
To walk the streets of tomorrow
Someday, somehow
Then we'll know
How things went wrong And how?
Tell me now
To live in peace not forever
The moment remains
And flows...
Don't let it go!
How do you stay
Down and pray
Let me know
The things that you've done
on your own...
(Tell me right now, baby...) How do you stay
Down and pray
Let me know
The things that you've done
on your own...
Let me run away
Freed from lies, I won't forget
Escaping from this chains
I'll meet my love
Once again flying
Clouds from heaven So, now?
Tell me how
To walk the streets of tomorrow
Someday, somehow then
Then we'll know
How things went wrong And how?
Tell me now
To live in peace not forever
The moment remains
And flows...
Stand away the dreaded burning fire
Will leave its mark for those with no desire
Stand in front of the whole creation
Face the people starve for comprehension
From the ones who rule us all
In this field the dying embers soil
All around we mourn
(CHORUS)
Oh, here they come again
(Now they're coming more aggressive
Tearing down our only chances)
The stars can't find the purple sky
(Loneliness will find its reason
treasured seeds for every season)
Long for the day be back someday
And the church
(Church is sellin' consolation
Killing Jesus for salvation)
Don't let us die
(Talking all in desperation
leave me now to rest in peace)
Let me rest in peace
Away, a while
Our smile taken from
the hearts of broken souls
Stand away from the fire
Destined by the fate
Let those sinners pay how they steel
For on the judgement day
Cry in the night of the angel
For their light will never shine
With their hearts so full of sorrow
Muddy waters all around
The curtain falls
for helpless souls
How they suffer swept aside
And the raging streams are flowing
with so little hope inside
[Is like]
Angels crying
Can't take no more
Angels dying
capture their fall
Try to see this misery
your future is not what you wished it to be
So try to fly, the answer lies
in the angry darkened skies [angry darkened skies]
You just keep on standing in these fields
all your life
You sow the seeds that never grow
No harvest comes such a strain
to feed the few
Still you're waiting, it's in vain...
The change must come right now!
Oh, see the sun in the sky
[from the dawn of destruction]
Free, free this chain from my heart... [chain, chain, chain]
Hear the cry of angels
from this life you cannot hide
The change may come tomorrow
for the solemn weeping eyes
[Like]
Angels crying
Can't take no more
Angels dying
capture their fall
Try to see this misery
your future is not what you wished it to be
So try to fly, the answer lies
in the angry darkened skies [angry darkened skies]
You just keep on standing in these fields
all your life
You sow the seeds that never grow
No harvest comes such a strain
to feed the few
Still you're waiting, it's in vain...
The change must come right now!
Angels are crying and dying
There must be some way
endless you stray, still you pray
for a better life
Nobody sees when a glimpse
of your target lies behind you,
(3:33)
(Instrumental)
(4:02)
Years gone by - Awake again
In a glowing star - That shines so far
Lasting child - Remains inside
Playing around - A future denied
High overhead, dusk is insight...
Fumbling the mist
Lingering around...
Blow,
Carrying winds
Take me high
Where I can see
The hidden lights
That blink far beyond...
Blow,
Carrying winds
Take me high
Where I can see
The hidden lights
That blink far beyond...
And then
A painted dream
Colours that melt
Inside slender frames
There I'll stand
There I belong...
When the brave fought
On the land of freedom for the men
Now the bells of hope are ringing
Angels cry again
The goddess of wind was mad, oh no!
Spreading the fire
Rushing our destiny (and) from now
Dividing us all.
Visions of steady land
Cheering the sight
Orders to wait until the night
Answer me,
What happned to your life?
Answer me, what do you hide?
The storm made us angry, I don't know!
Spreading the fear
Old friends like enemys, be strong!
And hide all your tears
Revolting the high command
Don't let it drown
Captain took off before the dawn.
Answer me,
What happened to your life?
Answer me, what do you hide?
Can't you see
Salvation without fight?
Can't you see it?
That you are blind
Under the sun
In a solitary world
I am running alone
Scars on my face
Weary hands from digging dirt
I was dying all alone
Am running?
Where am I?
Where has everyone gone this time?
Left my future far behind
I am nothing but the sole survivor
Under the sun I still see this world burning
[Adapted from Chopin]
[Op. 24 Prelude in C minor]
Cold wind, sad moonrise
Dark clouds in the sky
Storm ends the mourning time
Howling in the night
Vision of the land
After the horrid end
We build again from the start
Holy lenient heart
A treasure of the land
Torments have brought the end
We build again from the start
Holy lenient heart
Visions come from the sea
Oceans bring to me
I reach the sand with a kiss
[Bittencourt]
War games inside your brain
You got to fight alone
Falling back, your sanity has gone
Why'd you ever think that you could run away from pain?
Sorry man, your tries were all in vain
Wandering 'round like a phantom in the dark
And you're waiting for the night to come
Lunacy attacks and you struggle to hit back
You'll be waiting for the morning sun
I'm the voice commanding you
Divided we're nothing – united we're breaking the rules
I'm the voice commanding you
Someday the madness will loose control… over you
Dreaming on, you can fly in a never-ending story
Where the sun will shine every passing day
Free your mind, let your spirit go free into the night
Let the minutes be gone and fly away
Coming in and out the confusions in your mind
Going crazy as the night moves on
Playing with your head now you're wishing to be dead
And you're praying for the dawn to come
I'm the voice commanding you
Divided we're nothing – united we're breaking the rules
I'm the voice commanding you
Don't let the madness assume control
Over you, over you, over you
I'll be there reminding who you are
All the time with no escape
You look inside the voice is calling you
Take your chance it's never late
I'm the voice commanding you
Laying down the law
Divided we're nothing – united we're breaking the rules
I'm the voice commanding you
Can't make me go away… I'm over you
I will never surrender
I'm commanding you
Laying down the law over you
A border line
That you can't hide
[Loureiro / Falaschi]
Across the ages the world has been
Changing, it's drifting in space
The rest of you that still remain
Guarding your memories, now sleep
Running fast you're only
A flash inside the pan
Life will never, never be the same
Time runs over
The course of nature's way
Spinning around you
Millions of screams
Deafen all your sanity
Fast decay, no delay
Minutes are lost in sublime
Running fast you're only
A flash inside the pain
Life will never, never be the same
Time runs over
The course of nature's way
All day you feel lonely
Cause you know
The years have gone by
They'll never come again
Life is overrated
But who will ever know
Life will never, never be the same
Time runs over
Since the time of the ancients
When gladiators fought
Turning movements of action to passion
Their life was a game
See the blood of the bodies
Spilling onto the floor?
How could people applaud it
It's madness it's all so insane!
Blood, through your heart
Never stops for one minute
And there you will find:
- There is no other way!
The arena's still crowded
But the rules take new forms
Some of them tread on stages,
Some others chase after a ball...
Blood, through your heart
Never stops for one minute
And there you will find:
- There is no way out!
Demons with a thousand eyes:
- Look at me and cast your spell!...
We're dreaming of Paradise
Deep in the ocean, mermaids are crying
Oh Lord
King of the thunder, magic surrounds you
Oh Lord
On the island,
Land of the elves of the hills,
Ariel's winds
Blow the sails into a war
Before you can say "Spirit! Come and go!"
My Lord
I'll bring the tempest, I won't even question
I'll be gone in a trip of a toe
Inside your rage
Now I'm trapped again
Cloven pine was my prison for a decade
Groves and standing lakes
Island of dreams where you reside
Spirit of the air
You throw your tricks and spells
And Claim for your freedon once denied
It's no good to watch the skies
Through someone else's eyes
I'm a soul of freedom
Lord of wisdom
A creature of nature
I drag'em to the ocean
Groves and standing lakes
Island of dreams where you reside
Spirit of the air
You throw your tricks and spells
And claim for your freedom once denied
It's no good to watch the skies
The sun rises over the tide
Waves breaking over the rocks
Again and again like an echo
From the mountine tops
This feeling you just can't hide
Like an open page revealed for all to see
You breathe hard,
Like the sea breeze coming in
Hold your arms to the sky
Don't let clouds hide the sun
Don't runaway cos' you can't hide from thunder
Cold sweat glistening on your brow
The rains will come crashing down
A million voices sing out loud again tonight
As the mysteries of life begin to unfold
Master of fate you're the only one who knows
Somehow I know
The things are gonna change
New boundaries on the way
Like never before
Find a meaning to your life
Healing whispers of the angels
Bring the sunrise again
New day shines, fallen angels will arise
Nova Era brings the ashes back to life
All over now, sores in pain and awful lies
Angels will arise
Back to life!
Fresh winds of hope
Has taken us ahead
Forever is a place
You have to keep in mind
No way to limit our goals
You'll find a reason to believe
Facing Nova Era
[Chorus]
Oh! Come on! Arise!
Find a meaning to your life
No way to limit our goals
Healing whispers of the angels
Bring the sunrise again!
New day shines, fallen angels will arise
Nova Era brings the ashes back to life
All over now, sores in pain and awful lies
Angels lead you through paradise
Nova Era is a passage to your mind
And forever you may find a better time
Awaken the crystal bells of sorrow
caught ourselves pretending our frustrations
were gone
once again, instead of facing the day
we ran away; closed our eyes
to keep leaning on feelings we had
we were close
misty memories of a past come by
and I'll write my pray
on your face of hidden secrets
never shared, freezing soul
Dreams last forever
To the empress of the dark
lay down on eternity
your music in the air
great delight in the symphony
our dance will never end
The Queen of the night
the master of wisdom
pretending desires
with the grace of thunder
The Queen of the night
the feast of illusion
pretending desires
[Andreoli]
Home you go tonight
To break the sound of tears
Life's fading
To keep the world away
Is not enough to ease the pain
Time is passing by…
Time is passing by; I see it in your eyes
Fire burns inside
A light that's caught between
Night and day
Sun's been set to die
The supernova in your mind
Time is passing by
I see it in your eyes (repeat)
Time is passing by
I see it in these eyes (repeat)
They tell me all!
You can't deny
It's in your eyes
Visions disappear
Memories of a dream
Surrender
Give them to the wind
Deny your sorrow, live again
Time is passing by
I see it in your eyes (repeat)
Time is passing by
I see it in these eyes (repeat)
They tell me all
Time is passing by
I see it in yours eyes (repeat)
Time is passing by
I see it in these eyes
I see it in your eyes
They tell me all!
You can't deny
[Instrumental]
[Originally written by G.P. da Palestrina (1525-1594)]
[Music: Edu Falaschi / Lyrics: Rafael Bittencourt]
Sealing light
Nothing to see
Like a miracle life
Starts with the pain
Forever this will be
Close my eyes
Thunders won't cease
Crawling down to the edge
I break down and weep
Tears on the river deep
Oh! Back to the sea
Shout loud
Moving ahead
Ride the horses of justice
Virtues of men, yawns!
Down and out
Losing my head
Like a dream you're returning
Back from the dead - Awake!
(Matos, Loureiro, Confessori)
Long ago, the same sky above;
"It's lonesome when the sun goes down"
A day had come when we were like one:
- Weapons up, never surrender!
Oh, I saw the gleams of gold
We'd kill and die conquering a virgin world
The hold corrupted by the honour
Living forevermore, leaving today
Back to my place, I've got
Nothing to say!
Guilt and shame, it's all so insane
Pagan gods die with no defence
And we could go no further at all
Digging the graves of our conscience
Oh, the sounds, they still echoe
All of us drifting on seas of blood
The hope hidden behind the horror
Living forevermore, leaving today
Back from this land, I've got
Nothing to say!
Living forevermore, leaving today;
For all what remains I've got
Nothing to say!
Oh, how many years have gone
Every morning I bare myself from love
The love rising up from the sorrow
Living forevermore, leaving today
For all what remains I've got
Nothing to say!
Living forevermore - Nothing to say!
Back to my place, I've got...
Living forevermore - Nothing to say!
For all what remains, I've got
[Loureiro / Bittencourt]
I feel the pain but I'm afraid to cry
All the time, desperate hiding tears
My life is boring and I count the days
On and on, woe is here to stay
Only if God would show a sign for me
Oh… Only if God could hold my begging hands
This endless torture's building up my rage
Holding on, hide my agony
I'm getting weary just to be alive
All I want is help!!!
So, you dove into the dark beyond yourself?
Lost your way to find the surface once again
Insomnia will kill all your solemn nights… Oh!
Haunting your despair!!!
Sorrow made your life a living hell
Lights are fading
Caught inside the black-holed inner-self
Ego painted grey…
Insomnia will hold pleasures in a shell
And your defiant stare!!!
Sorrow made your life a living hell
Lights are fading
Caught inside the black-holed inner-self
