Taglines:

The dramatic true-life story of the men who broke the Nazis' back!
The story of the "bombs that had to bounce" - and the air-devils who had to drop 'em!

Quotes:

Official, Ministry of Aircraft Production: You say you need a Wellington Bomber for test drops. They're worth their weight in gold. Do you really think the authorities will lend you one? What possible argument could I put forward to get you a Wellington?::Barnes Wallace: Well, if you told them I designed it, do you think that might help?

Farmer: Every time one of these Lancasters fly over, my chickens lay premature eggs.

Gibson: How many guns do you think there are, Trevor?::Trevor-Roper: I'd say there are about ten guns - some in the field, and some in the tower.

Barnes Wallace: Do you know how much water it takes the Germans to make a ton of steel?::Doctor: I haven't the least idea.::Barnes Wallace: One hundred tons. Now just look at this. [gestures to a map on his desk] The whole of this great arsenal of war factories in the Ruhr depends for its water on three enormous dams. The Moehne. The Eder. And, the Sorpe. They control the level of the canals and supply a lot of hydroelectric power as well. When those are full they hold four hundred *million* tons of water. Just think of the chaos if we could break those walls down.

Bomber Harris: Cochrane...!::[gestures for him to wait]::Bomber Harris: Don't go for a minute. What do you think of Wallis' idea for bursting the Ruhr Dams?::Air Vice-Marshal Cochrane: It sounds a bit far-fetched. But, personally, I think it could be done.::Bomber Harris: I hope you're right. Anyway, I've given it my support, and I've had orders to get ready. I want you to take it on.::Air Vice-Marshal Cochrane: Right, sir. I'd like to. It'll mean taking a squadron out of the line for special training.::Bomber Harris: No. We must form a special squadron for this. And man it with experienced crews who have just finished their present thirty trips. Some of those keen youngsters won't mind doing an extra one.::Air Vice-Marshal Cochrane: Do you have anyone in mind to command the squadron?::Bomber Harris: Yes. Gibson.

[Whitworth is helping Gibson select pilots for the new squadron]::Group Capt. Whitworth: I'd go for these two Australians if I were you; Les Knight and Micky Martin. Martin knows pretty well all there is to know about low flying.::Gibson: Yes, I met him when he was collecting his DFC. I know this New Zealander, Les Munro, I'd like to have him. Oh and Joe McCarthy, he's great.::Group Capt. Whitworth: [laughs] Oh, the American. The Glorious Blonde. He used to be a Coney Island beachguard. We mustn't forget the English. [leads Gibson to another personnel book of pilots] Here's Bill Astell. Oh yes, David Maltby. [skips over one pilot] Oh, uh, he's just started another tour.::Gibson: [points to a picture in the book] And Hoppy Hopgood from my old squadron. I'd like to have Dave Shannon and Burpee from there too.::Group Capt. Whitworth: Well, we shan't be popular with the other squadron commanders if we start squeezing chaps like these from them.

Gibson: [addressing the squadron at the briefing before the raid] Well, the training's over. For obvious reasons, you've had to work without knowing your target, or even your weapon. You've to put up with a good deal from other people who think you've been having a soft time. But, tonight, you're going to have a chance to hit the enemy harder, and more destructively, than any small force has ever done before! You're going to attack the great dams of Western Germany!

Flight Sgt. J. Pulford, DFM: [watching morse lamp signals between the two other planes in formation] Martin's having a chat with Hopgood.::Gibson: What's he saying, Hutch?::Flight Lt. R.E.G. Hutchison, DFC: He says we're going to get screechers tomorrow night.::Gibson: Sure we are. Biggest binge of all time.

Bomber Harris: [Harris arrives in the Operations Room to follow the progress of the attack. Officers in the room come to attention and salute] Carry on. [to Cochrane] Well, Cocky, how's it going?::Air Vice-Marshal Cochrane: All right so far, sir. The first wave's about twenty miles from the Dutch coast. Enemy radar has probably picked them up by now

Flight Lt. A.T. Taerum, DFC: [Taerum consults his charts] Skipper, groundspeed two-zero-three. We'll be there in one hour and ten minutes. We'll be over the Dutch coast in two minutes.::Flying Officer F.M. Spafford, DFC, DFM: [Sees Dutch coast approaching] There it is now. Stand by front-gunner, we're going over.

I’m flying across the ocean
And I’m soaring back home
To the place I was born and probably raised.
And I’m flying across the mountains and valleys,
Back home to the one that I love so happily.
Can ya’ blame me for feeling homesick
’cause I’ve been away such a very long long time ?
I served a while in the county jail, five years for
For bein’ hungry tired and poor, I got worried so.
On and on this I will follow with your buttons and bows.
On and on this I will follow, all alone,
You know I will follow with your buttons and bows,
With your buttons and your bows.
On and on I’m flying across the ocean, going home.
I’m flying across the ocean
Goin’ home, hoo hoo

[Instrumental]
....

If you ever feel like you're gonna fall - oh I'll be there
And if you ever feel down or feel small - oh don't despair
And if you ever feel lost or feel alone - babe c'mon home
Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go
Ya we're flying - feels just like flying
We're such a long way up - from the ground
Just u and me flying - so high 'n I'm never gonna come down
Every time you turn around and wanna run - oh come to me
When every little dream comes undone - oh don't worry
Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go
Ya we're flying so high and:

Here I am flying
Looking down at mother earth below
Above me only blue skies
Below me is a cotton candy world
Here I am dreaming
Plane Im on flies gently as a bird
Captain said something
But I never heard single word
Here I am flying
Look above you
Ill be watching you
Maybe you wont see me
But soon Ill be flying
Soon Ill be flying home to you
Gazing at the sunrise
Homeland sure looks green far down below
Now were almost landed
I can see the hostess by the door
Here I am flying
Look above you
Ill be watching you
Maybe you wont see me
But soon Ill be flying
Soon Ill be flying home to you
Wont be long till I see
Bridges on our river
Looking at the old familiar lights
Wont be long till well be
Making up for countless sleepless nights
Here I am flying
Looking down at mother earth below
Above me only blue skies
Below me is a cotton candy world
Here I am flying
Look above you
Ill be watching you
Maybe you wont see me
But soon Ill be flying

[disputed lyrics in brackets]
Have you ever had the time to see, me and you could change to be
Take a dream away with you live it now and you will see
Found myself on an open road [got no hand] to show the way
Upped and started walking on to a land seemed so far away
After so long felt I was damned then I reached some gates and held a hand
But came to the point of sing and say, laughing people led me in to stay
Their happiness [held me, made me ] strong. I felt this is where I belong
I don't want another day just wanna laugh live sing and say
It's so strange I feel this way, it's so real, it's happening today,
Stop still something burns my body falls I begin to turn
(instrumental verse)
Flying drifting falling down, I found myself beneath the ground,
In a place that's strange to me, the earth is black and there's not a tree
Well its so dark there's not a sound just the feeling of wanting to be found
I must make haste to be gone, in this place I do not belong
I thought I tried to move a foot, I just remained where I stood,
And in the distance I heard aloud the shrill of blank deathly sound
I tried, I tried, I tried to run, but every move I was where I begun,
It's too late, shadows over me blind my eyes I cannot see
All my strength all my love, someone help me please above,
Death will surely take me down, I'll be doomed to live beneath the ground
(instrumental)
[See your two, see your one,] See your tomb, see you run, you fool, you fool your life has just begun
I'm here to taunt and torment you
I can make you do what I want you to
Black it out and drag you down, all kinds of evil wear a crown
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe its true but I have no fear of what you can do
See I'm free I can be just anyone that I want to be
Leave me now get out of my way
(instrumental)
[See your two, see your one] See your tomb, see your rock, who are you fooling life's just begun
Here to taunt, to torment you
I can make you do what I want you to,
Knock it out drag you down, all kinds of people were aware of it now?
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe its true but I have no fear of what you can do
See I'm free so leave me alone I wanna go my way and be alone
Get out of my sight, get out of my way
(more instrumental)
I'm not through, and I'm on the run, you're the fool my life's not been done
I'll taunt you and I'll torment you
(instrumental)
Have this way with a dream never leave me so it seems
Life by night, life by day, the tale they tell will always stay
Walk the earth, walk the sky, don't let all this time go by
Hang on fast, don't let go or someone else will never know
Ride a road along with me chase a dream we all can see
Don't let bad, just see good it's all that just what you should
No truth will ever come along shine so bright in your eyes
No wide wonder will do that for you, just lock it fast, do what you got to do
Shout it loud, shout out loud just live how you want to be
Show yourself show yourself, live how you got to be
(More instrumental, followed by a verse from Rudyard Kipling's "Gunga Din" taped backwards: "Though I've belted you and flayed you,
by the living God that made you, you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din."

The older I get the more stupid I feel
I don't know what's going on
Tired of trying to be strong
When I should be crying
The further I go the less distance I see
Leave behind another home
The harder I try the less people I please
The older I get the more lucid I feel
Let it go and let it come
Tired of trying to belong

I was playing a club by the Eiffel Tower.
Taking a break for half an hour.
A girl from the bar came out to talk.
"Come on" she said "Let's take a walk".
Monday was the day we met.
Tuesday I was flying.
Wednesday she was far away.
Friday caught me crying.
If I ever see that girl again
I'm gonna tell her that I love her.
If I ever see that girl again
there'll never be another.
I know..
Monday was the day we met.
Tuesday I was flying.
Flying....flying......
We talked and we talked and we layed on the bed.
and I can remember every word she said.
Never met a girl like that before.
Everyday I miss her more.
Monday was the day we met.
Tuesday I was flying.
And If I ever see that girl again
I'm gonna tell her that I love her.
If I ever see that girl again
there'll never be another.
I know..
Monday was the day we met.
Friday caught me crying.
When I find that girl again.
I know we'll be flying..
Flying....flying......
I think about you all the time.
Oh I wanna make you mine.
Just can't seem to let you go.
'cause every day I want you more.
Flying...
I think about you all the time.

Well, I'm not saying I'm angry now
I'm just wondering, why you changed your mind
Happens all the time
How does it feel to have a winning hand?
First rate failure to the leader in the chosen land
People never understand
If the world keeps spinning round, it will be alright
You said if you were on your own, you could really fly
And while you're up there, turn around and touch the sky
I guess, the point of getting out, is never saying goodbye
You learn your lessons in the hardest time
Run out of patience, lean on the bold face lie
People never wonder why
I feel too tired to scream and shout
Left in the sun, till the colors all fade out
Its great that I work out
If the world keeps spinning round, it will be alright
You left us long ago so, you could really fly
And while you're up there, turn around and touch the sky
I guess the point of getting out, is never saying goodbye
You could really fly
And while you're up there, turn around and touch the sky
I guess the point of getting out, is never saying goodbye
Don't even think that, I will keep you surrounded

Started a search to no avail
A light that shines behind the veil tryin' to find it
And all around us everywhere
Is all that we could ever share if only we could see it
Feels there's truth that's beyond me
Life ever changin' weaving destiny
It feels like I'm flyin' above you
Dream that I'm dyin' to find the truth
Seems that you're tryin' to bring me down
Back down to earth, back down to earth
Layers of dust and yesterdays
Shadows fadin' in the haze of what I couldn't say
And though I said, my hands were tied
Times have changed and now I find I'm free for first time
Feel so close to everything now
Strange how life makes sense in time now
Feels like I'm flyin' above you
Dream that I'm dyin' to find the truth
Seems that you're tryin' to bring me down
Back down to earth, back down to earth
Back down to earth, back down to earth

If you ever feel like you're gonna fall - oh I'll be there
And if you ever feel down or feel small - oh don't despair
And if you ever feel lost or feel alone - babe c'mon home
Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go
Ya we're flying - feels just like flying
We're such a long way up - from the ground
Just u and me flying - so high 'n I'm never gonna come down
Every time you turn around and wanna run - oh come to me
When every little dream comes undone - oh don't worry
Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go
Ya we're flying so high and:
We're never gonna come down:you and me

Wig out on me
One more time, i swear
We'll take this outside
I take you to pretty places
You'd think you'd just take the rest in stride
Wrong
But if i'd known fucking with a payphone would've got me this
I would've tried sooner
Why can't i sleep, in here?
Bury me, bury me inside him
Familiar faces never lie
You think they know what's coming
Wrong
But if i'd thought keeping us apart did any good
I would've died sooner
I make you so sad
What can i do, what can i do?
I worry so bad
What can i do, what can i do?
I make you so mad
What can i do, what can i do?
I want you so bad
What can i do, what can i do?
Wig out on me
I don't mind, i swear
By now i almost like it
This place is fascinating when you're here
But when you're not, it's not
But if i'd known leaving every home would get me here

Moving around in the outer reaches
Hiding out with all the creatures there
The dirt is drifting down upon us
But my friends would never crack a frown
We're going to the poison planet
We're going to it now
Looking beyond this point in time
Seems unreal somehow
Time to know just what I'm buying
Cold still walls remain
And I'm flying
Trapped in the valley of love you're giving
Special power
Now what was that
Looking to you with gratitude that seems unreal somehow
Time to know just what I'm buying
Cold still walls remain
And I'm flying
Flying
Moving around in the outer reaches
Hiding out with all the creatures there
The dirt is drifting down upon us
But my friends would have never cracked a frown
Million worlds our soul is gutted
It seems unreal somehow
Time to know just what I'm buying
Cold still walls remain
And I'm flying
Flying

October 10
Here I am again
Back where I started from
And just when I let myself fall deep
Fall hard
It seems every time I give my all
I turn around only to get slapped in the face with rejection
Now see this is the type of stuff that makes me just wanna
STOP!!
Just stop it all
Stop the giving to avoid the taking
Stop loving to avoid the hating
Stop trusting to avoid all these lies
But most of all
Stop flying to avoid the fall

Feel like I'm flying, I'm dying to say
Want you forever and easy
Be where you are, where I want you to stay
Don't you know what I'm saying?
Believe me
Feel like I'm falling, it's all I can do
Lying and dying is lonely
Deeper and darker, no way to forgive
No way to believe what you told me
No way to believe what you told me
Way to believe
Kings in their castles wound up in the wine
Drinking their confidence daily
Wish I could be into that peace of mine
Wish I could be into crazy
Wish I could be into crazy

Only with you I want to stay
Flying across (the) space away
I am feeling like a real king
And beneath us is everything
I haven't treasures nor estates
But I offer something great
Over the tops of oldest trees
Your flying soul plays with me
(The) wind is a stroke when the air is clean
Such a view I've never seen
Pleasure of freedom, I can fly
Further, further, high so high
[chorus]
Fast my magic, fast
Flying across the skyline
My free heart at last
Forever will be mine
Close to you, alone with me
Crossing skies or sailing seas
For my magic is fancy-made
But my illusions never fade
Pleasure of reedom, I can fly
Further, further, high so high

I jumped out of the window to get to the parking lot
I'm writing this little song on my way down
Never in my life have I felt a heat so hot
I had to get out
Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky is so clear, the sun is shining
Fate has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing
I was gathering up my nerve to ask out Carmen
She glanced out of the window, oh my God!
The room, it went away, now we're holding hands
Just not the way I planned
Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky is so clear, the sun is shining
Fate has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing, funny thing
I jumped out the window to get to the parking lot
I'm writing this little song on my way down
Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky is so clear, the sun is shining
Fate has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing, funny thing
Such a funny thing, funny thing, funny thing

Oh, please don't try to wake me
I'm having so much fun
I ride the winds in heaven
I melt into the sun
I saw the clouds of wisdom
I sailed beyond the sky
I reached my old nirvana
I never felt so high
Reality is gravity
But that can't hold the birds in me
I float the current of my dreams
I'm flying
I just close my eyes and I'm flying
Imaginary skies at my wings
Freedom is in sight
Anyone can fly
I seek the healing waters
I seek escape from pain
I change the space bound vision
Within my earth bound frame
Reality is gravity
But that can't hold the birds in me
I float the current of my dreams
I'm flying
Well, I just close my eyes and I'm flying
Imaginary skies at my wings
Freedom is in sight
Anyone can fly
Well, I just close my eyes and I'm flying
Imaginary skies at my wings
Freedom is in sight
Anyone can fly
I just close my eyes and I'm flying
I just close my eyes and I'm flying

I'm flying across the ocean and I'm soaring
Back home to the place I was born
And probably raised and I'm flying
Across the mountains and valleys
Back home to the one that I love so happily
Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick
'Cause I've been away such a very long, long time
I served a while in the county jail
Five years for, for being hungry tired and poor
On and on
Yes, I will follow
With your buttons and bows
On and on
Yes, I will follow
With your buttons and bows
On and on
Yes, I will follow
With your buttons and bows
On and on
Yes, I will follow
With your buttons and bows
I'm flying across the ocean

( Instrumental )

Even If I'm flyin' high, baby
The journey will go on
High in spirit
Feelin' free
My heaven's white
I'm blue
I'm all alone
And this world is mine
And I was born to be flyin' wild
I'll join me up
Wings reach the sky
My wings will take me higher
Girl I see you strifing far below
Fighting and pushing
'Till your dying day
You say it's heaven
But I see you're sad
Afraid to lose your pain
How 'bout
Losen up
And taking chances
Running wild while you can
You still trace a glimpse of hatin'
Deep inside your soul
Can't stop
I can't ignore all the feelin'
You running out of time
Can't tell you
Can't ignore
You just
Gotta try
Rise your ice and
See how I'm flying
I can fly
You gotta
See how I'm flying
It's wonderful
Lookin' up into the sky and mabye
The journey seems too long
Higher mountains
To be won
Don't worry we'll be fine
We're on our own
Enjoy the ride
We're born to be flying wild
We'll join me up
Wings reach the sky
We'll spread our wings and fly
Can't stop
I can't ignore all the feelin'
You running out of time
Can't tell you
Can't ignore
You just
Gotta try
Rise your ice and
See how I'm flyin'
High above
You gotta
See how I'm flyin'
It's wonderful
See how I'm flyin'
Can't stop
I can't ignore
All the feelin'
You runnin'
Out of time
Can't tell you
Can't ignore
You just
Gotta try
Rise your ice and
See how I'm flyin'
High above
You gotta
See how I'm flyin'
It's wonderful
See how I'm flyin'
High above
You gotta
See how I'm flyin'

Everyday I used to feel the pain
And everyday I used to wait in vain, again and again
And everyday I used to long for tomorrow,
Till your love took away my sorrow
I used to wish upon a star
Just to find out where you are
Sweetness opened up my heart
Chorus:
Don't you know that I'm flying
I'm flying (woo)
Don't you know that I'm flying
I'm flying
I fly on wings of desire
Set my heart on flight, you know I'm flying
Everyday I used to wonder why
And everyday I used to wait, hope, pray and cry
And everyday used to be so cold,
From now on, I've got you to hold oh yeh
Used to wish upon a star
Just to find out where you are
Sweetness opened up my heart
Don't you know I'm flying (way above the clouds)
I'm flying (show me what love's all about)
Don't you know I'm flying (shout it out loud)
I fly on wings of desire
Set my heart on flight, you know I'm flying
Feels so good
Shout it out loud
Feels so good, feels so good, feels so good yeh
Feels so good, feels so good, feels so good yeh
I used to wish upon a star
Just to find out where you are
Sweetness opened up my heart
Don't you know I'm flying (way above the clouds)
I'm flying (show me what love's all about)
Don't you know I'm flying (shout it out loud)
I fly on wings of desire
Set my heart on flight, you know I'm flying
So much love, so much love yeh
And it feels so good

Well, all right!
I'm takin' this car over the bridge
Through the rails and over the ledge
I'm takin' a dip in the pool
I said the water's cold, but I'm so cool

[Hockey invades every household in Canada on some level. It is our National
sport. Real afficionados play all year long. This is probably why first time
visitors to this country show up with their skates in July! Competition is
severe in the Junior leagues. Once every several years we get one like
Gretzky. Flying is an allegory - it is also the very real story of a third
round hopeful who once coached Gretsky and now coaches little leaguers and
sells saunas.]
It was just like strapping 'em on and starting again,
Coaching these kids to the top, and calling them men.
I was a third round pick in the NHL
And that's three years of living in hell,
And going up flying, and going home dying.
My life was over the boards and playing the game,
And every day checking the papers and finding my name.
My dad would go crazy when the scouts would call;
He'd tell me that I'd have it all
Ninety nine of us trying, only one of us flying.
And every kid over the boards listens for the sound;
The roar of the crowd is their ticket for finally leaving this town
To be just one more hopeful in the Junior A,
Dreaming of that miracle play,
And going up flying, going home dying.
I tell them to think of the play and not of the fame.
If they've got any future at all, it's not in the game.
'Cause they'll be crippled and starting all over again
Selling on commissions and remembering
When they were flying, remembering dying.
And every kid over the boards listens for the sound;
The roar of the crowd is their ticket for finally leaving this town
To be just one more hopeful in the Junior A,
Dreaming of that miracle play,

Can't say no shit that she ain't heard before
Can't buy no gifts that she ain't got
(Before)
She's been 'round playin' this all her life, you know
She say her daddy raised her right
He caught a serious bit when she was 6 years old
The biggest old dealer like to sell your soul
He kept his daughter in a paradise
He liked to dress her up like a China doll
Now when the Feds bust in shootin' rounds
He said, "Everybody in the house, hit the ground"
And it all went up in a cloud of coke
And mamma lay dyin' there on the ground
When the smoke disappeared
She flew away
That's what they say
The poor little girl is a foster child
Led to the streets to run a-wild
Yeah, so it goes
Of the agony, all the pain
The worst thing she didn't choose the road
Though it's safe to stay on the railroad
But it's never ever wrong to take her home
She's flying
She's flying, yeah
She's flying
She's flying, yeah
There was some love she loved long ago
She gave that man her heart
(And soul)
He was the one that made her blood run cold
Another bad time in her life
He had her walkin' the town sellin' her ass
They was makin' money till she broke her back
One day, how you do that?
Upside down on a bow when you're smokin' crack
Somebody yelled from the back
Somebody get this hoe up off the floor
And [Incomprehensible] called the fuckin' ambulance
Now here we go
With the black top
Could've been a star
But you know how it is
You can't do shit when you're injured
Plus these hoes out here is younger every day
Plus when he left, that was that
Never even noticed that he never came back
So fucked up from prescription pills
She'll never trust the man again
No, now she's crying
She's flying

I was an open-minded child
flying so high with wings so light
a fairy in the meadow
So suddenly the clouds appeared
The old man grabbed my little wings
with a deranged desire
So I will never be flying
flying above the ocean
And I will never stop hiding
the scars that left him smiling
Tearing my wings off forcibly
he took my faith and my belief
the innocence was left there
I wish I had told this long before
Mom could have sewn the wings he tore
with a golden wire
So I will never be flying
flying above the ocean
And I will never stop crying
why I was left there dying
Oh I've been trying to forget
the things that he could not regret
I hope his soul will burn in fire
And all these years I felt ashamed
Even though he's the one to blame
But it's too late he's passed away
But I'm still dreaming of flying
flying above the flowers
And I will never stop trying
to find the golden wire
I’m dreaming of flying
flying above the mountains
And I will never stop trying

Flower leis,
yellow, white and purple strands.
Woven like the many days and countless ways,
we held our hands.
Here we are,
standing at an airport gate.
All those wishes on a star that missed so far
will have to wait.
Going,
like an ebb tide flowing.
Like a trade wind blowing.
Soon you will be far across the sea.
Flying,
soon you will be flying.
Like a teardrop drying.
Leaving just a memory.
Misty eyes,
looking many miles away.
No time left to analyze, apologize.
No more to say.
Stay awhile,
linger just a minute more.
Let me see the winning style,
that little smile,
you always wore.
Going,
like an ebb tide flowing.
Like a trade wind blowing.
Soon you will be far across the sea.
Flying,
soon you will be flying.
Like a teardrop drying.
Leaving just a memory.
Flying,
soon you will be flying.
Like a teardrop drying.
Leaving just a memory.

Having sown good generous seeds
Into the warm wet soil
How do you know you'll get the yield
Still not spoiled?
Without tender care and love
Nursing little sprout
Without taking weed away
Nothing came out!
I'll help you through the hurricane
Hush, my little child
Vermin is exterminated
Let the sun shine bright
You will grow up, day by day
Became healthy and strong
So when it's time for me to go away
I'm still reborn...
The first thing is to plant a tree
The second is a house to build
The most important is number three
This is your son you have to bring up
Built of solid stones
My house must be firm
A comfortable home
With happiness living in
My children will take this place
My children's childen too
So when it's time for me to go away
I'm still renew...
The first thing is to plant a tree
The second is a house to build
The most important is number three

That, which is argued for centuries,
There, where answer is found,
All is the world, where a human doomed to death
Can’t find himself
The whole universe being
Is the universe dust kept in centuries.
We don’t notice how
We doom everything to ashes.
Fool’s tread has no borders
He erases them
He calls himself falsely
And boasts of the rightless right
What will we leave on the Earth?
- Trace of burning darkness,
Bones, keeping the secret,
Moment, when we’ve doomed ourselves
And where no arguing will be
Where no answer will be found
There is a world, we didn’t save

I said don't make me vote
I'd better cut my throat
There is no sense to lose my time in vain.
Those TV talking heads
Their speeches made of blades
They are sold out, I don't like second hand
I'd like to live my life
To have my only strife
There is no hell but policy we're in
Neurosis everywhere
But I don't really care
Unjustice rules but who hates it he wins
Invasion in mind
Free-thinking is left behind
Non-conformity
Only keeps us alive.
I broke my TV set
It makes me sociopath
My radio is on the way to hell
My internet is dead
And now I shake my head
Non-conformity only breaks the spell
Invasion in mind
Free-thinking is left behind
Non-conformity

In what is our difference?
Diverse variation of written themes
We see everything differently
But hоре to flow in harmony
All feelings til1thе rest
And to unite truth with fiction
Diverse harmonies, polyphony
Scream, heart-breaking scream!
Eternal theme, desire
Self-searching and the moment of finding
Hardly remain disillusions
Even if save everything…
“Add handful of pain and tears of desperation,
A pound of hope, pinch of blind faith and self-
immolation,
Some drops of love, some drops of joy, a bit of
obsession…”
Do you feel the moment of creation?
We don’t make any confession,
Just believe that we think right
At the moment of spiritual creation,
Which, may be, remain in memory of years
Diverse harmonies, polyphony
Scream, heart-breaking scream!
Eternal theme, desire
Self-searching and the moment of finding
Hardly remain disillusions
Even if save everything…
“Add handful of pain and tears of desperation,
A pound of hope, pinch of blind faith and self-
immolation,
Some drops of love, some drops of joy, a bit of
obsession…”

The chaos came: desires and passions
Destroy my mind
The strikes of heart and thoughts
Can not get normal
The innertion takes me
To the lost points far away
Once the feelings being so comfortable calm
Become unruled and wild and pulsing
The usual state of things
Ceased to exist
There stayed my pain
The feeling of delight jealousy and passion
I remain the same
I do not change
I play, manipulate and let the others
Do with me the same, and then enoure
I change surrounding and then
Come back again. I find and lose
The relaxation is found only
In the unbridled passion
In desire to dissolue or disappear
But all in all the feeling now is nealized
The one I cannot understand
It tries to conguen me and get me back
And to restore all what was lost
And that was just the decay of my soul
The memories which are passionate and sweet
Are mixed with everyday occurance
Will I ever feel the other way?
Please, present me with a gift

I rambled alone
Just like a lonely wolf,
The wood ahead of me
And the mighty wind behind.
The road I saw,
It was so clear and real.
I didn't want to lose it.
And the thoughts
Which didn't let me sleep or rest
Flew faster than
My real time itself
And faster than the wind.
They chose the space, the skies
As their goal,
And took all of my passions with them.
They wished me to uncover a new way
Which could have brought me happiness,
And I could be conquered by no one.
I could be free

The masters of my faith
I trust my thoughts
Into your fargone light
I am alone, for you are plenty
I am alone in facing you
You and your power
My heart, it sinks and aches
The given pain, it cuts
It kills hypocrisy and lies
The masters of my faith
Open me your cards
Show me the righteous way
The way without vanity and hatred
Light me the road
And break the dankened veil of my thoughts
Break the circle of me sufferings
And of those who loves me
Define my choice

Lifting my hands to the clouds
I take off the sinful earth and fly
I'm carried by the wind so soft and clear
And by the bright blue sky
My flight is safe and fast, I have no fear
The sim, it warms and gently blinds
The touching tune
Of freedom and of passion
Is soaring in the space
It cavers me with warmth
And draws right to the edge
The edge engulfing me
With all its beauty
But only there I am tranquill -
And feel my lightness
My breath is deep
As if I don't exist
I'm unified with space

bonus track
You need my pain
And sight of suffering
You want to get this feeling
And you'll have what you are asking you
I'll give it all to you like in a play
And you will never understand the composition
On the surface, there always were
The tender feelings, those
Which anyone could see
But inside there are stayed the thing
Which you will here now
'tit neither hatred, nor blind fury
Out the mean of what I feel
With my since heart
It seemed I could be used
You thought that I could like
Being suboned by you
The worse of it is it you believe
That I'm just angry like a snake
'tis not revenge, like you could do
It's my entire self
And it's the shape which my soul takes
When I just think of you
I did not betray or wanted to destroy you
I just want to bring a motto to your
consciousness
I am the master and the ruler of the play,
And I want take this general defeat,
like you could do
I live, I suffer and I ache

I wanted to reach a certain goal
Expossed many people including you
And I can't run away from the shadow
Which chases me
My sins, my sufferings
And given in the measure and deserve
That whisper of the thoughts and desires
Which carried you to me
I demed in vain
I've been captured by the power from without!
Voluptuousness was all and wanted
To get inside, to enjoy the thing
The most wonderful for me
Was something that my soul could not forget
The passion and uncovered
And the fire inflamed in you
Leaned to me and burned
But more important was for me
The lovefire smitten
I wanted to reach a certain goal
Exposed many people including myself
I ran away from the shadow

I flew alone
Just like lonely crow
The wood lay ahead me
And the mighty wind behind
The road I saw
It was so clean and real
I didn't want to lose it
And the thoughts
Which didn't let me sleep on rest
Flew faster than
My real time itself
And fasten than the wind
They chose the space, the skies
As their goal,
And took all of my passions within them
They wished me to uncover me new space
A new space,
Which could have brought me happiness
And I could be conquered by no one
I could be free

Thoughts carrying into eternity
A road leading into the distance
Space inviting upwards
Anxiety tike on my way
A shadow dismal
Makes me return to the past
From which I'm longing to escape
But there's no sense in escape from myself
Will it last long if I find a new state?
To return to what I've gone through silly
To after myself may be
For everyone you're just
One side of the coin
But nobody sees the reverse
And you're left in private with it
In collision with solitude
Struggle or indifference
In search of yourself
Inside your own senses
The target that makes you live
The meaning & values of your deeds
Who are you for others,
Who are you for yourself?
And the wind anew,
And the road once again
And the brilliant stars
On my night-time way
Wonderful skies in the new space
And there's sense for a while

The fire of your feelings
The light of my desires
The flash of your hope
The beam of your love
So much bright and scorching
Only the angel of my dreams
Can beam that way
The angel of suffering,
Of love and pride
You wait and hope for us to meet
You are invited by your tender look
And soft touch of your feelings
You're afraid of your demon
But you're attracted by him
He suffers greatly
His heart is broken, his soul is crushed
Like a shroud of dense mist on his way
His blind oblivion kills his flesh
On the bloody feasts and voluptuous pleasures
He escapes from his past
He destroys his real world
It's the thirst of irreparable
War with himself
The ray of light is his only salvation
Your demon is dead without an angel
The fire of love will warm his heart

I try to mortify the feelings
To destroy the memories
But something remains
It ties me to the past
The past I lived
Made me enjoy itself
I loved and hated
Lived and soared like a proud bird
Which had its sky and freedom.
I ruled like lion
Conquered and subdued
I fondled and caressed
And only carrion-crows and mean hyenas
Asked for my blood and sufferings.
The passion came to me, and insult
Love and fury
It was my past in which
I couldn't understand
Who was a friend or enemy
And what was tenderness and passion
Of gamble and revenge

Burning all the limbs
Wounding my pulsing heart
Carving my soul that doesn't
Belong to me as well as my heart
In you are my feelings
My bright flash
Whom I met
On my lonely way
Now I'm not the one
I used to be
I don't recognize myself
In front of me there's only
The fire that absorbed us
Appealing to you who subdued me
As I met the tempest carrying you
How I attracted you dazzling feelings
And your flared up love
Before I saw you from afar
But now I'm in you
And the pleasure is great
Our world is for us
And the horizon we change
Is the display of our piercing,
Stormy and rainy feelings
Our embraces are eternal
Our fire is never dying away
Our hope is great, we're one
Our war is inside us
And no one will understand us
For our love is beyond the space
Where our life we create
Exploding skies our feelings' display
Our emotions are the hurricane
When we're gone we will leave rain
My delight is thunder your pleasure is flash

Moonlight through branches of the trees
Cold but magnetic
Inviting and putting me only guard
The light of dreary solitude
But hardly everything is so faceless
The look of the moon like your reflection
The thoughts of the lonely heart
The grief and joy of your soul
The suffering of unrequited love
On your face the silent movement
Of the cold light
Coldness penetrating into flaming heart
Night embrace carrying you away
Following the moon so taciturn
Like you are in your solitude
All day long you have been waiting
For the moonlight approaching
To impart to it your story
To disclose your thoughts to it
To reveal your soul
To chill your heart
You are free in night time only
And concealed from alien sights
Confronting your reflection
Moon is the mirror of your consciousness
Into which you look any time
You want to understand yourself
You're grateful to dusk
You're hardly waiting for the dawn
Moonlight through your glance
Cold heart inviting
And putting you on your guard
The loneliness of faceless night

Space inviting upwards
And feelings born by the will
In energy have interlaced
In breathing, even and free!
But the burst won't come, don't wait for
The body amorphous? And sounds?
Streams carrying upwards
Once hands the wings are now.
You were longing for soaring like eternity
Higher and higher fly for your life
Scorn all the principles
Dictated above
But is there an aim you head for?
You wanted it pure, but is it?
Are you certain in it giving all your strench
To the upwards inviting space?
If sure, then fly and break all the bars
The call of your heart, it won't disappoint
And the sky will accept a proud bird
But the main thing for her is not to fall
But the proud bird doesn't hear the words
That all that invites is not a good sign
And the main aim for her is to merge

You have built and will build again
Temples and churches that are all the same.
Domes and spires are turned to heaven –
The Houses of Lord, the houses of prayer.
The prototypes of this architecture,
You never surmised what is it like –
Star-ships arrived from distant planets,
Your forefathers had brought the life
Here.
You have painted the images of saints,
Nimbi shine over their pious heads.
Holy martyrs and mediators,
You should not pray but do respect them.
Look at the icons – whose portraits are there?
What are these halos around their heads?
They were astronauts in space-suit helmets
Your progenitors were those who landed
Here.
They've created you
On their image and likeness,
They've given you life
To keep on genes
Of human race
Unto ages of ages
Continuing chain
Of DNA.
Ungrateful sons of glorious fathers
You've made religion in place of science.
Instead of searching, reaching new horizons
You droop your heads and humbly prey in silence.
Rise your heads and take your look to the sky,
Countless stars are drawing curious eye.
Spread your wings wide you never tried
Before you have known the reason to fly.
Unexplored worlds are waiting for you,
Still unborn your children you have to do.
Not the new gods for your posterity,
But progenitors you should become to the
Next.
You should create the new ones
On your image and likeness,
You should give them life
To keep on genes
Of human race
Unto ages of ages
Continuing chain

Sand coasts. At nighttime sea
Sends ferocious scream into the skies.
It licks the starsland with giant waves,
With anger roars calling to the gods.
Stars look down with indifference
At this ordinary scene.
They just know, whim of Power
Costs nothing for Eternity
But the firmament unruffled stays
No matter has the rage of sea,
The whim of Power is the game
For that, whose name Eternity
Stars look down with indifference
At this ordinary scene.
They just know, whim of Power

How young are you but how can finely comprehend.
You feel me and know how to understand.
You reveal all my secret thoughts
And truth you tell me mine!
More often declaring your love to me,
For my reciprocal one you wait.
But you call it insincere and
Just a gesture of considerate attachment.
My faults and weaknesses you find out,
Reproach, kiss and forgive me,
When I start again to try
Be over others!
You love, you wait and try to help.
You keep worried but don't lose your heart.
You lead me with confidence
And safe me like an angel

This night we are not together
The mist of another delight
And tomorrow well look for the date
Somebody'll be in nervous, somebody will cry.
Finding each other - passion burns us
But falsehood hides inside
If promises soon to burst
And it wont be place for love any more
Perceive your game - play faster in mine with you
What are you waiting from me?
- Oh, yes, defeat again
But I don't trust us. I don't trust myself
Tell me, how can I believe in you?
Everybody knows all about everyone, but they keep silent
And tomorrow our place will belong to them
Were young, we look for something, treading our feelings
in mud

Only angel can love in such way
So devotedly, truly and easily.
Suffer from inflicted wounds,
Being grieved of injuries.
Your wish is to keep your feelings
In the insane burst you appeal to the light
And returning the hope
You recall yourself to life.
Your call of energy draws me
And leads to the lifepower.
It makes me believe in my strength,
It saves me from the gulf and disaster.
Only angel can love in such way,
Keeping the hope untouched.
But when you know your fate

You’re full of life hidden from men’s eyes
Concealing it under the mask of stormy waves
You’d prefer to be forgotten by all of us
And may be to become in water slave
But you are mighty – out of control
So much determined on the Earth by you
For you to lead your simple ocean life
And even if you can – just won’t let you do
By you they’re scared, you’re indomitable
You kill so elegant and gracefully
But still adored by many,
Who understand your soul and your essence.
But all friends are at the bottom
With tender silence you protect their sleeps
While alive to you they were devoted

As if you're waiting when I'll stumble.
Then it's never be forgiveness to me
But at least I'll make a step,
Saying bye in my thoughts forever.
To see - that's what I beware of.
And time not always treats.
It's better disillusion
Will grip my look forever.

I'm flying across the ocean and I'm soaring
Back home to the place I was born
You know that I'm flying across the mountains
And valleys, back home to the one that I love so much
Now don't blame me for feeling homesick
I have been away for such a very long, long time
Lord, you know I served once in the county jail
And I feel strong for being hungry, tired and poor
On and on, guess I was born to run
With your buttons and bows
Yeah, with your buttons and bows
Yeah, with your buttons and bows
Yeah, with your buttons and bows

High above, whistling streams
You and I sharing dreams
Floating free, feels like we're flying
Touching down, here on earth
Letting ground, losing earth
Getting on, staying together
Chorus:
Look in my eyes, take my hand
Don't look back on the land
If you believe we'll be flying
Sunlight lights up your face
As we float in this place
If you believe we'll be flying
Mouthing words in the earth
No one hears, no one cares
Here we find words have no meaning
Floating by, feels a slope
On the ground, far below
Frozen lake, silent and lonely
(Chorus)
Lifting up, turning free
This is how love should be
When we break free from the shadows
(Chorus)
Floating by, feels a slope
On the ground, far below

Here we are again
Floating on the rain
Into the dark
(Into the dark)
Where you are
Turning in the wind
A miracle of tin
Into the sun
(Into the sun)
Where you are
We're flying
Flying
Kings of all we see
As high as we can be
Over the land
(Over the land)
To where you are
Heavier than air
With tickets to get there
Over the sea
(Over the sea)
To where you are
We're flying
Flying
Flying
Flying
We're flying
Flying
Flying
Flying
Flying
Flying
Flying

started a search to no avail
a light that shines behind the veil trying to find it
and all around us everywhere
is all that we could ever share if only we could see it
believe there's true thoughts beyond me
life ever changing weaving destiny
and it feels like i'm flying above you
dream that i'm dying to find the truth
seems that you'r trying to bring me down
back down to earth back down to earth
layers of dust and yesterdays
shadows fading in the haze of what i couldn't say
and though i said my hands were tied
times have changed and now i find i'm free for the first
time
feel so close to everything now
strange how life makes sense in time now
and it feels like i'm flying above you
dream that i'm dying to find the truth
seems like your trying to bring me down
back down to earth back down to earth

Flying on my cloud to freedom
Flying till I've left the world behind
The world is getting smaller down below
I like the view the further up I go,
Up on my cloud
(*) Takin' it easy
I'm only out for a little fun
Takin' it easy
I need a holiday like everyone
Flying on my silvery cloud
Far above the green and blue
There's a lot of trouble and I see down below
But I think I'll stay for a little while more,
Up on my cloud

I want to be free to fly like you
I want to be free to walk, to stand, to start anew
Oh, to feel grace within these wings
Oh, to be forgiven for all your memory of sin
Because we waited so long to shine, to shine
This love is so strong I? m flying
I? m high on God's love
Oh, the taste of ruby wine on lips
Oh, to be hypnotized by the lying swaying billboard hips
It is our souls to which the big machines are drawn
And it? s money that fuels their hearts
There are no human dreams at all
They want you to drink your drink and lay your money down
When you awaken, you will hear
The sound around you sounding out but I
I feel like you and I are just beginning to shine, to shine, yeah
I pray for peace or at least an open window
I want to be free, I? m free to walk, to stand, to start anew
Oh, the feel of grace within these wings
We have been forgiven for all our memory of sin
Because we waited so long to shine, to shine
Love, it is so strong I? m flying
I? m high on God's
Got a lot of love, a love supreme
Say, you got a lot of love

Say, you got a lot of love
Got a lot of love, a love supreme
Say, you got a lot of love
