Red light, green light 'round the town
I found a penny on the ground
Met a friend I never know'd
Walkin' down ol' rocky road
Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
Tell me inside out, tell me upside down
All around the block, all around the town
Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
Jimmy, come out and play
Well red light, green light and I'll be it today
Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
Hey, Jimmy Huggins your name's been called
Come and stand beside the wall
Pick a girl that you know well
You can kiss and you can tell
Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
Tell me inside out, tell me upside down
All around the block, all around the town
Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
Jenny, come out and play
Red light, green light and I'll be it today
Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
Little Miss Jenny, don't you hide
Papa's gonna take you for a pony ride
One potato, two potato, three potato, four
Cross the line and close the door
Little Miss Jenny, don't you hide
Papa's gonna take you for a pony ride
One potato, two potato, three potato, four
Cross the line and close the door
Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
Tell me inside out, tell me upside down
All around the block, all around the town
Red, green ol' rocky road, tell me what you see
Red light, green light 'round the town
I found a penny on the ground
Met a friend I never know'd
The rain is falling and the weather is cold
Don't know which way to go but i continue to roll (roll)
the rain fall is really taking a toll on my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul
the rains falling but I'm keeping a hold on the life cause i know that i could spin outta control
I know (know), I know (know), I know this is gonna be one rocky road
Ugh, what part of the voyage is this?
Friendship and business don't mix
With anyone else it's just business with friends I'm personally pissed
Is this a curse or a gift?
Guess I was blessed with my wish
Don't tell me that u feel my pain
Then I say it's best that we switch
U take the fortune and fame and see if it's what u expected
Take the money and change and be careful where u invest it
Just take the test and don't stress it
You get stopped by a detective
Tryin to get in your personal life
Gotta do ur best to protect it
The answer rest in the message
When I go I go in a blaze
But it wont be no captain savin
Cause where I'm goin ur saved
Tryin to rain down on my parade
Till that umbrella get raised
They thinkin that they can read me when they ain't no where my page
Tryin to keep a smile on my face
Even at times when I engage
In business conversations
With people I know are snakes
If life is a piece of cake part of the icing is venom
Spend a life time tryin to bring me down
But I just ain't gonna let em
You betta tell em
The rain is falling and the weather is cold
Don't know which way to go but I continue to roll (roll)
The rain fall is really taking a toll on my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul
The rains falling but I'm keeping a hold on the life cause I know that I could spin outta control
I know (know), I know (know), I know this is gonna be one rocky road
Ugh, I'm back and forth and I'm pacin
Being more patient than patience
Tryin to wait for the good news to show up
But I'm unfortunately waitin
Gotta be group participation
If its in the course that we makin
I was unfortunately done and she was unfortunately fakin
But the only sexual spark is the spark he got for the doe'
(doe)
They say till dill do us part but that part is where she says no
There are to many emotions
Emotions like pins and needles
Actin like emotions are evil
Like showin love is illegal
I thought that is was a eagle but i seen this vulture before
He thinks this is were ill stop cause he sees that im walkin slow
But no i think you should know that soon as I get where I go
You'll remember the fact that i had a purpose fo'sho
I hope you no where ur goin
I hope u know that today
On the side of the road you gon see a whole lot of snakes
When the bad weather comes to rain down on ur parade
Just raise up ur umbrella and try to keep goin straight
(and keep the rain)
The rain is falling and the weather is cold
Don't know which way to go but i continue to roll (roll)
The rain fall is really taking a toll on my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul
The rains falling but I'm keeping a hold on the life cause I know that I could spin outta control
I know (know), I know (know), I know this is gonna be one rocky road
This road has many curves
Many bumps and potholes, it can even take u through a loop if u ain't got yo
Sh*t together unpredictable weather can leave ya
Dehydrated, frost bitten, washed away, or either
Dan over by heavy traffic, watch where u roam
Cause it's a challenge just tryin to make it home
But still i walk i keep my paste i keep my stride
Would hitch-hike but there's to much pride
I must find a narrow path so i could walk and laugh out loud
Cry and sing with out bein judged by the crowd
Maybe some day i could just fly away
But for now ill just beat my feet and get there someway somehow
And mile after mile after mile ill smile
Keepin my head up even though rains porin down
And the road gets rough and the journey is long
I might get tired but i must move on
The rain is falling and the weather is cold
Don't know which way to go but i continue to roll (roll)
The rain fall is really taking a toll on my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul
The rains falling but I'm keeping a hold on the life cause I know that I could spin outta control
I know (know), I know (know), I know this is gonna be one rocky road
Most of our heroes are locked up
Diseased or deceased
We can never really remorse until somebody restin in peace
We measure the best by success and ain't impressed by nothin less
Only time we say we wanna change is when we ain't got no change left
Only time we call on God is when is nobody else to call
Keep stumblin over the same road block that just made ya fall
We always gotta wait until somethin happen before we start reactin
Kill
1,2,3,4
Yeah Yeah yeah yeah
You gotta
Stand tall and cut away the ties
Drop walls and hold that head up high
The world is fast and youth ain
(D. Cavanagh)
As I drift away... far away from you,
I feel all alone in a crowded room,
Thinking to myself
"There's no escape from this
fear
regret
loneliness..."
Visions of love and hate
A collage behind my eyes
Remnants of dying laughter
Echoes of silent cries
I wish I didn't know now that
I never knew then...
Flashback
Memories punish me again.
Sometimes I remember all the pain
that I have seen.
Sometimes I wonder what might
have been...
Visions of love and hate
A collage behind my eyes
Remnants of dying laughter
Echoes of silent cries
And sometimes I despair
At who I've become
I have to come to terms
With what I've done
The bittersweet taste of fate
We can't outrun the past
Destined to find an answer
A strength I never lost
I know there is a way,
My future is not set,
For the tide has turned
But still I never learned to live
without regret.
Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart
Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Maybe I've forgotten
the name and the address
of everyone I've ever known.
It's nothing I regret.
Save it for another day.
It's the school exam and
the kids have run away.
I would like a place I could call my own,
have a conversation on the telephone.
Wake up every day that would be a start.
I would not complain of my wounded heart.
I was upset you see,
almost all the time.
You used to be a stranger,
now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you.
I've not got much to give.
We're dealing in the limits
and we don't know who with.
You may think that I'm out of hand,
that I'm naive, I'll understand.
On this occasion, it's not true.
Look at me, I'm not you.
I was a short fuse
burning all the time.
You were a complete stranger,
now you are mine.
Just wait till tomorrow.
I guess that's what they all say
Some time ago I checked my conscience
And found it wasn't all that clean
A trail of people I had hurt
A sea of sins left unredeemed
Regret is a dull and rusted blade
That covers me with scars that never fade
These wounds, like a catalog of flaws
Serve to remind me of all the pain I've caused
So I resolved to make amends
To heal the damage I had done
But I could never stop the torrent
Of those regrets still yet to come
Regret is a dull and rusted blade
That covers me with scars that never fade
These wounds, like a catalog of flaws
Serve to remind me of all the pain I've caused
This bitter sadness overwhelms me
And mires me down with velvet arms
It's time for me to face the music
It's time to undo all this harm
Regret is a dull and rusted blade
That covers me with scars that never fade
These wounds, like a catalog of flaws
You never looked into their faces
All you saw there was another threat
You knew, you knew what you had to do
But you never tried, never heard about regret
You've never heard
But it seems to me that you don't know
What you want, why don't you let it go?
Three years to get off your chest
Best left forgotten nothing's left
But it seems to me that you don't know
What you want, why don't you let it go?
Never heard about regret
Never heard about regret
Never heard about regret
You never looked into their faces
All you saw there was another threat
You knew, you knew what you had to do
But you never tried
But it seems to me that you don't know
What you want, why don't you let it go?
Never heard about regret
Never heard about regret
Never heard about regret
Every time you cry
Me levanto temprano, moribundo
perezoso resucito, bienvenido al mundo
con noticias asesinas me tomo el desayuno.
Camino del trabajo en el metro
aburrido vigilo las caras de los viajeros
compañeros en la rutina y en los bostezos.
Y en el asiento de en frente,
un rostro de repente,
claro ilumina el vagon
en sus gestos traen recuerdos,
de otros paisajes otros tiempos
en los que una suerte mejor me conocio.
No me atrevo a decir nada,
no estoy seguro,
aunque esos ojos sin duda son los suyos,
mas cargados de nostalgia, quizas mas oscuros
Pero creo que eres tu, y estas casi igual
tan hermosa como entonces, quizas mas
sigues pareciendo la chica mas triste de la ciudad.
Cuanto tiempo ha pasado desde los primeros errores?
Del interrogante en tu mirada?
La ciudad gritaba y maldecia nuestros nombres,
jovenes promesas, no, no teniamos nada.
Dejando en los portales
los ecos de tus susurros,
buscando cualquier rincon sin luz,
agarrate de mi mano,
que tengo miedo del futuro,
y detras de cada huida estabas tu, estabas tu.
En las noches vacias,
en que regreso,
solo y malherido, todavia me arrepiento
de haberte arrojado, tan lejos de mi cuerpo.
Y ahora que te encuentro,
veo que aun arde, la llama que encendiste,
nunca, nunca es tarde,
para nacer de nuevo, para amarte.
Debo decirte algo,
antes de que te bajes,
de este sucio vagon y quede muerto,
mirarte a los ojos y tras de recordarte,
que antes de rendirnos, fuimos eternos.
Me levanto decidido y me acerco a ti,
y algo en mi pecho se tensa, se rompe.
Como estas?
Cuanto tiempo te acuerdas de mi?
y una sonrisa timida responde:
Perdone, pero creo que se ha equivocado,
disculpe señorita, me recuerda tanto
a una mujer que conoci hace ya algunos años.
Mas viejo y mas cansado vuelvo a mi asiento,
aburrido vigilo las caras de los viajeros,
compañeros en la rutina y en los bostezos...
You heard It's no use trying to make sense it doesn't matter anyway
There's no one worth the pain no reason left to stay
I try to turn it off where did the old me go?
How did I get so far away? I just don't know
Every act of kindness boils down to lust or greed
No one acts from altruism it all comes down to need
There's a monster inside my heart
He tries to tear my world apart
There's a demon inside my head
Tells me I'd be better off dead
I try to turn it off get back to positive
Don't want to drag you down to the street where I live
I try to turn it off get back to happy days
Pull this barrel from my mouth and look for better ways
Every act...
Everything you never tried
Every time you might have lied
Every flaw you tried to hide
Every drop you ever cried
Every time you've been denied
Every tear that ever dried
The fear I stand next to
Sorrow in spite of what?
Sick of what might end up
The actions I must take
The hatred inside frustrates
The past is really to blame
Living day by day on a string
Consumed - enslaved with the pain
I dispose of my decisions
Slowly ripping free the shell
A new person I become
Regret no longer burdens me
Free with mind and body
The experience strengthens me
Sick of what might end up
The action I must take derive
Regret - I can't stand myself
My past - I cannot change
I refuse - My life is torn
Regret - I can't stand myself
He aquí mi presencia
Pues he prometido que venia a verte aunque estuviera afligido
Cogiste el camino de la separación
Y tu no sabes como eso afecta mi corazón
Dios mío ayúdame, y nunca permitas
Que mi alma se destroce con esta visita
Mi mujer no me escucha, estando ahí acostada
No me mira no me abraza no me dice nada
Culpa tengo yo por no cumplir con mis promesas
Haciéndote pasar muchos días de tristeza
Por que no me di cuenta que yo actuaba muy mal
Ahora el remordimiento me quiere matar
Hombre al fin donde quiera que me paro
Las lenguas me persiguen cuando formo mi relajo
Y así sucesivamente pude perder
La gente habla sin parar sin tan siquiera saber
Pero ya es tarde
Ya escogiste tu decisión, me abandonaste y así cumpliste con tu misión
Pero yo lucho para que aunque sea pueda sentir
Y se muy bien que es imposible pero voy a seguir
Mi sentimientos hoy, se inclinan a tu vida
Mañana buscare un camino a la salida, pues
Esto me encierra en un circulo vicioso
Que me aparta de lo que pudo ser tan hermoso
Coro (2X):
Me acuerdo cuando te entregaste a mi
Me acuerdo como me aferraba yo a ti
Me acuerdo los dos soñando en una noche de pasión
No me escuchas, no me miras, se remuerde mi corazón
Te noto bien pálida
No eres la misma
Te falta la sonrisa que dibuja tu carisma
Te siento muy fría tus labios resecos
Inútil te ves, y sin faltarte al respecto pero
Eso no importa te amo como eres
Y nunca sentiré lo mismo con otras mujeres
Dios me creo para quererte a ti
Yo maldigo el momento en que te perdí
Y esta perdida es indudablemente eterna
Quisiera inventarme una luz moderna
Que alumbrara el camino de la felicidad
Porque sinceramente no acepto la realidad
Un ser humano no es capaz de aguantar este peso
Yo sufro me remuerdo y lloro en exceso
Si crees que exagero pues lo hago por ti
Porque demuestro lo que tu significas para mi
Coro (2X)
Me acuerdo de la brisa que nos acariciaba
Pues el viento a nuestra relación apreciaba
Tu pecho junto al mío el calor provocaba
Y así por el estilo nuestras almas se entregaban
Me acuerdo de la noche en que tu me conociste
Todas las caricias agradables que me hiciste
Me acuerdo de todas las palabras que dijiste
Diciéndome en secreto que el amor si existe
Pero con el tiempo el libreto cambio
Pues la malicia como siempre pasa se involucro
Y yo un ser humano como los demás seres
Adopte el punto débil del hombre, mujeres
Ya en ese tiempo no pensaba muy bien
De la pasión por exceso parecía un rehén
Te ahogabas en tus lagrimas y en tus sufrimientos
Yo no se lo que pasaba con mi sentimientos
Luego escuche a todo el mundo decir
Que por mi la vida te ibas a destruir
Yo no creí en tus palabras te ignore como a un perro
Y mírate ahora mañana es tu entierro
Metida en esa caja sin poderte mover
Todos te lloran y me culpan sin poder comprender
Que fue un error no tenia los ojos bien abiertos
Mi amor perdóname aunque hayas muerto
Coro (2X)
So many days
Through endless nights
Reciting verse of Revelation
By firelight
He loaded up his gun
And smiled to everyone
They won't be taking us alive
Trust in me
The people gazed
Into the sky
The mother ship that's headed for Heaven
Soon passing by
They'll fly us to the Sun
He smiled to everyone
They won't be taking us alive
Trust in me
Nothing's gonna come
Deliver everyone
If you waited a lifetime
Waiting for the day
To wash it all away
Member when we argued on the concept of regret?
You were an expert even then but not me, not yet
Now all you gotta do's remind me that we met
And there ya got me, that's how you got me, ya taught me to regret
Member how I asked you why are you so mean?
You didn't know how to react to bein seen
I tried to be your friend, you made me seem so (??? unknown)
And there you got me, that's how you got me, you taught me to be mean
(x2)
but I ran out of white doves feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me
Member when I was so sick and you didn't believe me?
Then you got sick too and guess who took care of you?
You hated that, didn't you? Didn't you?
Now when you look at me, you're condemned to see
The monster your mother made you to be
And there ya got me, that's how you got free, you got rid of me
but now I ran out of white doves feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes from your mouth
Every time you address me
Oh I ran out of white doves feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes from your mouth
Every time you address me
Alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Recuerda cuando los tiempos eran buenos
como los de ayer
cuando un amigo era sólo un amigo
sin nada que perder
Dime cúando fue
que esa magia de rompió
Dime cúando fue
que lo bueno terminó
Recuerda cuando tu padre te decía
- mejor es dar de más
Cuando juraste esa noche a las estrellas
que tu serías igual
Dime cuando fue
que esa magia se rompió
Y dónde quedó escondido
todo lo mejor de ti
Cuando te des cuenta
por la madrugada
que tu sueño se perdió
Viajarás tan lejos,
lejos de este juego
y abrirás tu corazón
Detrás de ese muro esta tu cruz,
la que algún día cargarás
La que nunca podrás,
nunca podrás comprar
Cuando te des cuenta
por la madrugada
que tu sueño se perdió
Viajarás tan lejos,
lejos de este juego
y abrirás tu corazón
Sigue tu corazón
no pierdas la ilusión
Dread demands a gentle heart
Perceive the chasm but with pride
I take a ride to unknown heights
Where lightning’s tear me apart.
When my kingdom’s gone
I’ll harvest all I never knew
Lungs will choke a silent cry
Yom - regret - I can’t deny.
Grief demands an injured soul
Deny the despair with my hate
Falling down to unknown depths
Face to face my inner ghoul.
When my kingdom’s gone
I’ll harvest all I never knew
Lungs will choke a silent cry
Yom - regret - I can’t deny.
Bewilderment - fight for me
Is there a truth without some lies
Dew drops down - my hour comes
Hellhound set me free.
Dire qu'il a eu un père, une mère peut-être qui l'ont aimé
La gaité doit un jour céder
Pour certaines personnes, la vie est un échec
Mais c'est juste une page dans le carnet de bord d'un sale métèque
Il ne nous en veut même pas, flippe pas
Devant le feu de ces regards qu'il croise et ne l'aiment pas
Je pense quand j'embrasse mon fils
Que lui réserve l'avenir, j'angoisse, reviens à la réalité, esquisse
Un mouvement de la main, c'est dément
Il est allongé là et tous les gens passent indifférents
Regarde un peu autour, ils meurent de faim, les fous
Veulent garder leurs privilèges et crèvent plein de pez jusqu'au cou
Mon dieu, quels faits sinistres
Le dernier des clochards contre le premier des ministres
Relax chez eux, entre un bridge, deux boniches et leur bobtail
Je lâche cette bombe et qu'elle pète dans leurs cocktails
Au royaume animal, le lion est roi, l'homme devient fou
Combien d'âmes tombées sous ses coups
La terre est seul témoin de ces crimes ici bas
C'est chacun pour soi, regarde Angela, regarde
Au royaume animal, le lion est roi, l'homme devient fou
Combien d'âmes tombées sous ses coups
La terre est seul témoin de ces crimes ici bas
C'est chacun pour soi, regarde Angela, regarde
J'aurais aimé être beaucoup de choses
Mais il n'en est rien, je ne suis qu'un homme diseur de prose
Et je ne suis pas à l'abri pour autant
Vu que mes semblables tirent sur leurs frères à tout bout de champ
Un pauvre mec pour une place de parking
Se prend deux balles et laisse derrière lui deux orphelines
Anodine l'histoire se répète chaque jour
Quand un tireur prend des gens pour cible du haut de sa cour
Et tout ceci dont se délecte le masse
Est envoyé par la télé qui sans cesse ressasse
Ces histoires de crime à grand renforts de gros plans
Aux heures du repas, des peuples entiers dans des bains de sang
J'en ai marre de voir tomber des minots
Je voudrais savoir quand est-ce qu'on va rire pendant les infos
Tu vois, tout a évolué sauf nous
L'époque des jeux de Rome n'est pas si loin après tout
Au royaume animal, le lion est roi, l'homme devient fou
Combien d'âmes tombées sous ses coups
La terre est seul témoin de ces crimes ici bas
C'est chacun pour soi, regarde Angela, regarde
Au royaume animal, le lion est roi, l'homme devient fou
Combien d'âmes tombées sous ses coups
La terre est seul témoin de ces crimes ici bas
C'est chacun pour soi, regarde Angela, regarde
Il y eut, paraît-il un paradis ici
Il n'en reste rien, c'est dans les livres qu'il survit
Voilà pourquoi l'argent tout le temps
Fait le pouvoir souvent conféré à des incompétents
Il y eut la peste, le sida frappe très fort
Mais la connerie humaine a toujours battu tous les records
On gaspille des millions au nom du progrès
Mais restera-t-il encore quelqu'un sur terre pour en profiter?
L'alibi des batailles, les conflits d'intérêt, les fanatiques braillent
Les démoniaques raillent, l'homme n'est pas de taille
La partie est trop forte, pour un inconscient de la sorte
Le gardien des cieux leur claque la porte
Sur l'arche de Noé, nous sommes les seuls animaux car on peut tuer
Gratuitement, non pas pour survivre et je suis inquiet
Pour les lendemains Angéla, ma soeur
L'homme crache sur les oeuvres de son créateur
Au royaume animal, le lion est roi, l'homme devient fou
Combien d'âmes tombées sous ses coups
La terre est seul témoin de ces crimes ici bas
C'est chacun pour soi, regarde Angela, regarde
Au royaume animal, le lion est roi, l'homme devient fou
Combien d'âmes tombées sous ses coups
La terre est seul témoin de ces crimes ici bas
C'est chacun pour soi, regarde Angela, regarde
Whatever truth will reveal tomorrow, it's a lie
A cup of poison will always join us for a while
And we'll laugh for a while, and we'll die for a while
And then we'll blame us self for a wild routine
Ground zero, we're back to one
We can't combine
Happy with the life they gave us from day one
What disappears without a trace, reappears and we just approve
What we need is a waist, solutions dissolves in our hands
We won't except that we understand
Destruction completes the man
No matter what time will give us
No matter if it slips away
You should have burned me blind
Now I'm shining through
We can't combine this city laws
Regret with time, this splintered doors
Even if fear remains tomorrow
Or if everything goes away
We can't combine
Shadows merging, people laughing
The sun shines threatening
Concrete tasting, steel avoiding
Love exploiting, hate awakening
Missing, can't hide
We can't combine this city laws
Regret with time, this splintered doors
Even if fear remains tomorrow
I swear to god, I never meant to break your heart dear
If I had to say, couldn't tell you what I was doing
I left one day, for open waters on a course to ruin
No land in sight, I just drifted where the tides would pull me
No compass or light, life on a boat will make you miss the country
Anchors aweigh!
Anchors aweigh!
I'm here to stay, my days at sea are done
I've sailed an ocean of mistakes
Been given so many chances
Never again will I set sail towards regret
If I could take it all back - oh no
Unlive your past will only rob your future
If I could take it all back - oh no
Unlive the past would never get us to now
I swear to god, I never meant to mess you around girl
Never was my plan, been floating two years or so
Glad I made it to land, despite the rocks and the undertow
No maps or chart, sometimes a journey just takes that long
Call this a fresh start, show that I'm right, prove all those wrong
Anchors aweigh!
Anchors aweigh!
I'm here to stay, my days at sea are done
I've sailed an ocean of mistakes
Been given so many chances
Never again will I set sail towards regret
If I could take it all back - oh no
Unlive your past will only rob your future
If I could take it all back - oh no
JAH RASTAFARI
~and I saw an I-ngel ascended from the east. having the
seal of the living
King, Emperor Haile Selassie I, the Most High. And He
cried out with a loud
voice, sayin~
chorus:
well, it's a raggy road

raggy road

raggy road

Emperor Selassie I I know is real
Babylon get trampled under me heel
Chorus:
Well, nuff a dem go get throw overboard
Like Henry Morgan with the pirate code
Nuff a dem a trod upon corruption road

Chorus:

Come fi conquer dem gun

I'm just like the sun
And dem give the ghetto youth dem gun
Fi shoot dem brother down
Babylon you judgement a fi come
Should I try and cut myself for you?
Do I have to let it bleed with no regard?
Tell me just exactly what to do
I'm afraid I have gone too far
Cause I don't know just what your feeling yet
Cause I've been left out in the cold
All I know is we both share regrets
We haven't done this yet
There's nothing here we cannot change
I could never find myself without you
You could never be yourself without me
Why even try to lie or ignore the truth?
Is there someone else I should be?
Cause I don't know just what your feeling yet
Cause I've been left out in the cold
All I know is we both share regrets
We haven't done this yet
There's nothing here we cannot change
We cannot change
All I know is we both share regrets
Cause I don't know just what you're feeling yet
Cause I've been left out in the cold
Cause I don't know just what you're feeling yet
Cause I've been left out in the cold
All I know is we both share regrets
We haven't done this yet
Te recuerdo en un manantial de sueños
durmiendo con los zapatos puestos
sin atar como lo hacen algunos dueños
como la mañana al sueño
que está porque se quiere quedar
te recuerdo en un manantial de sueños
Te recuerdo consumida
dónde estarás ahora?
prefieres hablar o follar?
cada día te morías
imaginando historias
prefieres hablar o follar?
Te recuerdo todavía
disparando a todo
lo que se movía
y aquel cuento
de un encuentro con la policía
si tus ojos
no cambiaran
todas las mañanas
sería tu dueño
te trataría
como lo haría la noche
con los sueños
Te recuerdo en un manantial de sueños
Here we all feel alive
Here we use our minds
Let us form together
Use our minds
Create, redesign
Here forever
With a new world in our hands, we will gain control
With a new world in our hands, we will gain control
Recognize that you will never feel this way again (again)
And what you want is right in front of your eyes (this is the life)
So take it in, and embrace
No more wasted faith, 'cause we are wrong
No more wasted faith, 'cause we are wrong ('cause we are wrong)
Don't let it be easy
You needed such a direction to visualize perfection
Visualize perfection
You are wrong, you are free
This is serenity
Stop holding on for nothing
I'm ready to face this world and gain control
With a new world in our hands
With a new world in our hands
With a new world in our hands
Gain control
No more wasted faith, 'cause we are wrong
We are at ease with the way we've grown
And only when the timing's right
We can start to feel the stars align
Don't let it be easy
Visualize perfection
Stop holding for nothing
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever believe in the lie
You could never redeem any time, looking back in regret
Don't you ever forget
Did you see it coming? Was it more than you could bet?
Did you fall for something? Were you taking your next step?
Was it all for nothing? Just to find yourself in debt
To the thought of something that you could have never kept
You could have never kept
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever believe in the lie
You could never redeem any time, looking back in regret
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever believe in the lie
You could never redeem any time, looking back in regret
Don't you ever forget
Could you keep it coming? Did you stop and catch your breath?
Would you walk on water or just sink inside your head?
Could you stand for something even if you stand against?
Would you hold on to it if it's broken in your hands?
Broken in your hands
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever believe in the lie
You could never redeem any time, looking back in regret
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever believe in the lie
You could never redeem any time, looking back in regret
Don't you ever forget
Sometimes you just don't know, just how to let it go
Sometimes you just don't know
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever believe in the lie
You could never redeem any time, looking back in regret
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever believe in the lie
You could never redeem any time, looking back in regret
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever believe in the lie
You could never redeem any time, looking back in regret
Don't you ever forget, don't you ever forget
(eeeeaaaa) One badly beaten body
(eeeeaaaa) One broken soul
(eeeeaaaa) In search of sancuary
(eeeeaaaa) Long way to go
Chorus
There's a land I've seen in a dream
The home of the brave and free Forever guaranteed (Hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey)
(eeeeaaaa) To many useless martyrs
(eeeeaaaa) Suffer in vain
(eeeeaaaa) To many greedy brothers
(eeeeaaaa) Cheating the game
This Rocky Road is twisted
So many lose their way
The bitter wind is whistling
Confusion reigns
Chorus
I see the distant glory
I feel the shaky ground
A thousand voices raise a welcome sound
Everyday you'll sink deeper
in that hole that you've dug
and for yourself
you sit and think about what could've been done to save us.
I don't know what you wanted from me,
wasn't it something I could never be?
Your lies keep changing
and so do you
you're missing all the things we used to do.
I'm finding out all of those things you kept from me for so long.
What makes you think you're always right and I'm so wrong for you? for you?
I don't know what you wanted from me,
wasn't it something I could never be?
Your lies keep changing
and so do you
you're missing all the things we used to do.
I don't know what you wanted from me,
wasn't it something I could never be?
Your lies keep changing
and so do you
I can feel you in your empty regret
Wasting your truth on me
(So this is where it all becomes
This feeling in my head)
I can see these visions it brings
Watching your life through me
(You thought you had yourself hidden well)
I hadn’t told you yet
I want to forget you now
Feeding off your dreams through me
Your life breathes its emptiness on me
When I think of you now
So maybe I want something different
Complete without your shame
And when you speak to me of loss
I know I can’t remain
Here with you
Can you feel this?
You are my lack
Can you see this?
What I’ve become
Will I know the difference
when it’s time for me to end it?
Will this all mean something
When I’ve nothing left to give?
I want to forget you now
Feeding off your dreams through me
Your life breathes its emptiness on me
When I think of you now
So maybe I want something different
Complete without your shame
And when you speak to me of loss
I know I can’t remain
Here with you
I feel myself becoming
I feel myself becoming
I feel myself becoming you
I am left so empty
I am incomplete with you
Do my screams mean something to you?
What if it was all about you?
I am trapped in your becoming
I just wanted peace here
Give me my fucking peace
El día que tú creas
Que es mejor partir
Recuerdas esos días
Que te ame a ti
Recuerda que hubo un día
Que te di amor
Recuerda que hubo un día
Que te entregué mi corazón
Y todas esas frases
Las dije por ti
Las incontables horas
Pendientes de ti
Y si un día piensas
Que ya no hay amor
Y llegara ese día
Que romperás mi corazón
Recuerda que hubo un día
Que yo me escondí
Recuerda como brillan mis ojos cuando hablo de ti
Recuerda que hubo un día que por ti
Yo pude ser feliz
Todas esas cosas
Que deje por ti
Las incontables horas
Pensando en un si
El día que tú pienses
Que todo acabo
Recuerda que hubo un día
Que me robaste el corazón
Recuerda que hubo un día
Que yo me escondí
Recuerdo como brillan tus ojos cuando hablo de ti
Recuerda que hubo un día que por ti
Yo pude ser feliz
Recuerda que hubo un día
Que yo me escondí
Recuerdo como brillan tus ojos cuando hablo de ti
Recuerda que hubo un día que por ti
Yo pude ser feliz
Aunque a veces pienses
Que debe acabar
Por qué no dejamos
Las almas volar
Jamás olvides esto,
Todo lo que duro
Todos esos momentos
Que vivimos los dos
Recuerda que hubo un día que por ti
Yo pude ser feliz
Recuerda que hubo un día que por ti
Yo pude ser feliz
Yo pude ser feliz
Against all odds
Fate has granted me
One final shot to enter history
Carried by winds of change
Guided by Ravens
So late night I rise from the dead
Fulfill my dreams a prophecy left unread
The Crow brings me back to life
I took your heart out threw it in the dirt
Even though it hurts you act like it was cool
Caught me up with a lot of girls
But for me baby you played the fool
You should have left me
Time and time, over again
Jeopardized being your man
But you stayed and I am so proud
You still smile when I come (come) come home
Really I should be a-a-alone
But I'm glad you didn't throw me away
You saved me from that rainy day
So glad you're still are my lady
My heart requires you
Like batteries when a kid gets a new toy
My heart requires you
Like a doctor to know if it's a girl or boy
Requires you like a job when I just got fired
You leave, you leave me
It would kill me
Cause your love is required
Girl you're my life support
Please don't take it from me
You're required like a bee
Girl I need your honey
Don't think that I could go on without my baby
Get me stray jacket ready
Cause without her I am crazy
Cause she stuck with me through all the times I did her wrong
Should of hate me like ne-yo's sick of love songs
Cause I know I made you cry
And I know that I would die
If I didn't have your love
And baby...
My heart requires you
Like batteries when a kid gets a new toy
My heart requires you
Like a doctor to know if it's a girl or boy
Requires you like a job when I just got fired
You leave, you leave me
It would kill me
Cause your love is required
Required baby
Like batteries when a kid gets a new toy
My heart requires you
Like a doctor to know if it's a girl or boy
Requires you like a job when I just got fired
You leave, you leave me
It would kill me
Cause your love is required
Like water to a human being (required)
It's required girl that's what I'm saying
Like the signal on your cell phone (required)
Your love required I can't go alone (go alone)
My heart requires you
Like batteries when a kid gets a new toy
My heart requires you
Like a doctor to know if it's a girl or boy
Requires you like a job when I just got fired
You leave, you leave me
It would kill me
Too late to turn back now
Content with silence
Agony was endured
The guilt of death
Seeped right through her stares
The silence was ignored
No one cared why
Resulting in a
Conflicting regret
Corruption of a peaceful mind
Offering an easy way out
Regret There is not forgiveness for the
Sins that you've created
Regret
You're in denial because the
Truth remains
He's still dead
That brought her to pray
For nothingness
No forgiveness
And nothing more
She decided to vanish
All the pain
And take away
What was left of her life
Corruption of a peaceful mind
Offering an easy way out
Regret There is not forgiveness for the
Sins that you've created
Regret
You're in denial because the
Truth remains
He's still dead
It's an eternal session
Between the past and a tattered soul

Did you hear me callin'
The day you walked out
Didn't even turn around
To see me tryin'
In this life I'm nothing but alone
Trying to understand
This in front of me
You never gave a damn about me
Now, how could you just
Turn your back on me
Now, after everything I've done for you
I never walked away from anything but you
Taking everything from me and turned it
Upside down
So I see your out there
Your face is cryin'
Regret is on your mind
I'm sick of tryin'
In this life I'm nothing but alone
Why everything for me is upside down
You never gave a damn about me
Now, how could you just
Turn your back on me
Now, after everything I've done for you
I never walked away from anything but you
Taking everything from me and turned it
Upside down
Every time you sit and think of me
In your head you're crawling back to me
(Solo)
Now, how could you just
Turn your back on me
Now, after everything I've done for you
I never walked away from anything but you
Taking everything from me and turned it
Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart
Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
I remember the days out in the field
mama's love shinin' bright as the sun
she showed me a narrow path to follow
all the days of my life
but, now I know those days are gone...
I wanna go home
...but the narrow path she showed me
turned into a thousand winding roads
and regret chokes the wisdom in my eyes
my heart turned calloused, cold (so many years ago)
and I can hear the winds of sadness, in her
sighs
Stone cold in the grave six feet under in your little cave death you thought was the only answer then life forgot and hell begun lost alone in the place grasping for something trying to keep face your head is above the water only to give your suffocating dying to live wanted to die but always denied never believe in being set free you decided which way you would go now death begins finally you're there and life is gone the tour was short and now it's done you had the chance to turn it around now your wasted away under ground remorse and regret of wasted times spent when out of control a puppet to the master of your soul to blind to see in hell you dwell dying to live
Theres a road, its a rocky road, lined with sticks and stones, and its a road, where the thistle grows, and the freeway never goes, but even though this road is long, everybodys well on, this rocky road,
Now were all, doing the best we can, we hurt from head to toe, and we fall, short of heavens plan, we stumble as we go, but even when we all done wrong, everybodys welcome on, this rocky road,
Casting stones, even though were all sinners, pointing fingers and calling out names, the rocky road, there aint noone among us, without blame, on the rocky road,
How can i, with this log in my eye, count your spots and scars, oh why, why should i even try, to put you behind bars, when i need your love to carry on, we gotta help each other on, this rocky road
Casting stones, even though were all sinners, pointing fingers and calling out names, the rocky road, there aint noone among us, without blame, on the rocky road,
theres a road, its a rocky road, lined with sticks and stones, and its a road, where the thistle grows, and the freeway never goes, but even though this road is long, everybodys well on, this rocky road,
Casting stones, even though were all sinners, pointing fingers and calling out names, the rocky road, there aint noone among us, without blame, without blame,
Dire qu'il a eu un père, une mère peut-être qui l'ont aimé
La gaité doit un jour céder
Pour certaines personnes, la vie est un échec
Mais c'est juste une page dans le carnet de bord d'un sale métèque
Il ne nous en veut même pas, flippe pas
Devant le feu de ces regards qu'il croise et ne l'aiment pas
Je pense quand j'embrasse mon fils
Que lui réserve l'avenir, j'angoisse, reviens à la réalité, esquisse
Un mouvement de la main, c'est dément
Il est allongé là et tous les gens passent indifférents
Regarde un peu autour, ils meurent de faim, les fous
Veulent garder leurs privilèges et crèvent plein de pez jusqu'au cou
Mon dieu, quels faits sinistres
Le dernier des clochards contre le premier des ministres
Relax chez eux, entre un bridge, deux boniches et leur bobtail
Je lâche cette bombe et qu'elle pète dans leurs cocktails
Refrain
Au royaume animal, le lion est roi, l'homme devient fou
Combien d'âmes tombées sous ses coups
La terre est seul témoin de ces crimes ici bas
C'est chacun pour soi, regarde Angela, regarde
J'aurais aimé être beaucoup de choses
Mais il n'en est rien, je ne suis qu'un homme diseur de prose
Et je ne suis pas à l'abri pour autant
Vu que mes semblables tirent sur leurs frères à tout bout de champ
Un pauvre mec pour une place de parking
Se prend deux balles et laisse derrière lui deux orphelines
Anodine l'histoire se répète chaque jour
Quand un tireur prend des gens pour cible du haut de sa cour
Et tout ceci dont se délecte le masse
Est envoyé par la télé qui sans cesse ressasse
Ces histoires de crime à grand renforts de gros plans
Aux heures du repas, des peuples entiers dans des bains de sang
J'en ai marre de voir tomber des minots
Je voudrais savoir quand est-ce qu'on va rire pendant les infos
Tu vois, tout a évolué sauf nous
L'époque des jeux de Rome n'est pas si loin après tout
Refrain
Il y eut, paraît-il un paradis ici
Il n'en reste rien, c'est dans les livres qu'il survit
Voilà pourquoi l'argent tout le temps
Fait le pouvoir souvent conféré à des incompétents
Il y eut la peste, le sida frappe très fort
Mais la connerie humaine a toujours battu tous les records
On gaspille des millions au nom du progrès
Mais restera-t-il encore quelqu'un sur terre pour en profiter?
L'alibi des batailles, les conflits d'intérêt, les fanatiques braillent
Les démoniaques raillent, l'homme n'est pas de taille
La partie est trop forte, pour un inconscient de la sorte
Le gardien des cieux leur claque la porte
Sur l'arche de Noé, nous sommes les seuls animaux car on peut tuer
Gratuitement, non pas pour survivre et je suis inquiet
Pour les lendemains Angéla, ma soeur
L'homme crache sur les oeuvres de son créateur
Refrain
They can see you even though their eyes are closed
They creep and sneak and peek behind the mask
They test the waters with their toes
Careful not to let you know what they know
Just when you think your path is clear
They decorate your brain with fear
Regret floods in and fills your time
And makes you turn your thoughts into rhyme
I see you falling
Into the sea
I see you falling
Into the sea
I see you falling
Into the sea of life
(no records in my bag)
you always taking my records
you always taking my records
no respect for my records
no respect for my soul
when i close my door you gonna have to knock
you sneak into my place and i tell you that sucks
you never say anything
when you taking my things
you never say anything
don’t wanna go lookin for my records all
if you love my music
so why do you have to steal it
don’t wanna go lookin for my records all
when i get a good feeling you go down and kill it
don’t wanna go lookin for my records all night
you never ever care if i tell you yes or no
you are always comin when i want you to go
you never say anything
God damn these frightened, frigid hands and all our long forgotten plans. Clocks lie; we have no time and all. I won't deny you again, my friend. I was the one who betrayed you and Philadelphia is a ghost town without you. Our youth is dust on the side of the road. Let it bury the seeds of regret. Bury the seeds of Regret. Embed them in my chest. Let them grow to become. The bitter man
Hoje é fin d'one
O gente no bem festejal
C'nos morabeza
No bem goza dess dia
Sonte di fin d'one
Ja p'di ké pa no honral
Na força di nos tradiçon
No ta perpetua ess alegria
Recordai recordai
Senhor son silvestre
No bem da boas festas pa tud gente
No bem da boas festas pa cabo verde
O k'sinfonia la na baia
Oh irmon c'ma m'ta feliz
O k'sintonia num melodia
Cantode na som di mil voz e o q'note
Sitting at home, the telephone rings. Old girl of mine looking to spend some time. Now my girlfriend's away, I can't see no harm. A couple of drinks and some talk of old times. When the cat's away the mice will play. We had such good time, a bottle of wine, with some old friends of mine. Then the next thing I knew, we were alone together. We dimmed the lights, our bodies entwined. When the cat's away the mice will play. Then a knock on my door, a spill of some wine. I answer the door, and what do I find? My girlfriend staring at me, boy, what a surprise! Woman in my bed, holding a glass of wine. When the cat's away the mice will play. To make a long story short, she asked how could I do this, in a calm sort of voice. And then without an answer, I mean, what could I say?, I just closed the door and that was goodbye... When the cat's away the mice will play.
A veces pienso que ya te he olvidado
Que ya lo nuestro se ha quedado atrás
Y justo cuando pienso que te he borrado
Cierro mis ojos y de nuevo estás
Me he engañado que no siento nada
Que mil amores puedo conquistar
Y cuando menos yo me lo esperaba
Llegó la noche a hacerme recordar
Y recuerdo
Tu mirada, tu sonrisa, tu manera de ser
Tu cabecita loquita hasta el sabor de tu piel
Tus cariñitos, tus besitos al amanecer
Cómo quisiera yo volver
Cómo quisiera yo volver
Cómo quisiera yo volver
Que no quiero perder
Sentir tu amor hasta el amanecer
sentir tu amor hasta el amanecer
A veces salgo en busca de aventura
Y hasta me río para no llorar
Y en medio de toda aquella locura
Mis pensamientos salen a volar
Y recuerdo
Tu mirada, tu sonrisa, tu manera de ser
Tu cabecita loquita hasta el sabor de tu piel
Tus cariñitos, tus besitos al amanecer
Cómo quisiera yo volver
Cómo quisiera yo volver
Cómo quisiera yo volver
Que no quiero perder
Sentir tu amor hasta el amanecer
sentir tu amor hasta el amanecer
Y tú bien sabes que es igual para ti
Tampoco puedes olvidarte de mí
Dime que no
Dime que no
I need you and you need me,
is this the way we want it to be?
We tried to hard, it seems I have failed
All I can think, baby it's you
I want you right here, I'm feeling so blue
What went wrong did I try too hard?
Your smile is gone, Your words has turned into lies,
There's empty gaze in your eyes
Touch me, hold me, let me feel you like you used to be,
wake me, up from this bad dream
Praying, begging, for you to give on change to me,
crying, longing for your love
Then so near, now so far
Your smiling eyes, now cold as ice
Our loving kiss has turned into broken heart.
What is the reason you want me to stay
You're playing your games and I have to pay
Each step I take is in darkness
Since we've been apart
No flowers bloom on my pathway
There's no joy inside my heart
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
Stream has dried up in the meadow
The grass is parched and brown
Green fields we used to walk through
Are just stones upon the ground
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
Ah, I'm going down
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
I'm going down
I’m enlisted on the road,
I’m almost done traveling,
Enlisted on the road.
I’m bound to go where Jesus is,
My soul shall ascend where Jesus is,
To enjoy the peaceful home of rest.
I’m bound to go where Jesus is,
And be there forever blest.
Chorus:
It’s a mighty rocky road,
I’m almost done traveling,
A mighty rocky road,
I’m bound to go where Jesus is.
I’ve a Father on the road,
He’s almost done traveling,
A Father on the road.
He’s bound to go where Jesus is,
His soul shall ascend where Jesus is,
To enjoy the peaceful home of rest.
He’s bound to go where Jesus is,
And be there forever blest.
