Hologram Hands
05:16
|
|||
Woke up to the sound of some strange melody
The mist of the night stuck thick in my head
Tell me what do you see in the dullness of my eyes
Is there something to see more than dirt and regret
Hologram hands
Hologram hands
Diving labyrinths and wells down into the shades
Away from the streets in the city of dreams
I see them marching their way on an ordinary day
When fingers touch and worlds collide
What do you see when you gaze in my eyes
Shadows of countless and sleepless nights
How do you feel when the shadows get real
When fingers touch and worlds collide
Woke up to the sound of some strange melody
The sleep in my eyes stuck thick in my bed
I can't remember her face but her hands pure and white
When fingers touch and worlds collide
Hologram hands
Hologram hands
Hologram hands
Hologram hands
What do you see when you gaze in my eyes
Shadows of countless and sleepless nights
How do you feel when the shadows get real
When fingers touch and worlds collide

Kings and Queens
07:07
|

Those curtains were white, as if of pure shiny silk
On top of the stairway like a statue full of grace
She walked down the stairs, with that strange kind of face
She made on days like these
She walked down the stairs, with that strange kind of face
She made on days like these
She said "Smile!
I´m the Queen and you are my King
We´ll go to places nobody has been
I´m the Queen and you are my King
We´ll go to places"
As I followed the old lane, to that village I was raised in
Masonry and plasters, and the pavements of gold
The older we get, grains of sand in our hands
Running through our fingers, and be gone
Gone with the wind
I´m the King and you are my Queen
We´ll go to places nobody has been
I´m the King and you are my Queen
We will see places nobody has seen
I´m the King and you are my Queen
I am the King and you are my Queen
I am the King and you are my Queen

Running Out
04:02
|
|||
I lay down my head on your lap
And I can feel peace with my cheek on your chest
Can't swim in the water rushing all around
Can't breathe under this weight that is turning me down, turn me down
All I ever say is you got one life to live
All I ever say is you got one life to give
Got one life to live
And your time is running out
Got one life to give
And your time is running out

Odessa (Version)
06:08
|
|||
What can you do when your heart is longing for far away destinations
What can you do tonight
What if your time is running out as you wait for your salvation
Is there a way out tonight
Imagine the times when you were bound to stay and wait for something to happen
How did you come to break and get out of this hell
Oh what a view from the harbour's pier across the black sea beauty
Is this the same you had in your dreams
Descending the stairs down to the waterline one most beautiful eve in April
Leave those regrets far behind
Open your mind up to the other side as you breathe the air at the shoreline
The lights of the city right behind
While you were sleeping
I've been away
While you were dreaming
At the black sea coast
While you were sleeping
I've spent the day
While you were dreaming
At the black sea shore
In Odessa
In Odessa
In Odessa
Far away

Beautiful Monster
04:47
|
|||
There's a monster inside of me
It's been there for all these years
Can't remember when it appeared
There's a monster inside of me
There's a dark cloud deep in my soul
It's been there instead of sweet angels
Can't imagine a time without
There's a dark cloud deep in my soul
There's a boy grown up to a man
In years so long
And I wonder where have they gone, where have they gone?
Beautiful monster
Beautiful monster
There are nightmares chasing me hard
Don't know when all this mess did start
Can't walk straight the line without
There are nightmares chasing me hard
There's a monster inside my skull
It bites everything without warning
A monster inside my skull
That destroys everything around
There's a boy grown up to a man
In years so long
And I wonder where have they gone, gone to hell?

Heartbeats
04:46
|
|||
There's a beat that's pounding loud and strong
And the other day it's almost gone
On and on its pounding on
And the other day it's almost gone
And the other day it's almost gone
Heartbeats like a drum and on
And the other day it might be gone
Heartbeats like a drum
And the other day it might be gone
And the other day it might be gone
On and on and one by one
As the years are passing by
One by one
On and on and one by one
As the years are passing by
Your time has come
As the years are passing by your time has come

Lucifleure
04:57
|
|||
Life is just from here around the corner
A few steps away from all grief and pain
But there's an ocean in between
And I am just a sailor without a ship
They say you'll be alright as time is passing
Patience for the brave you know my friend
One morning it will all slip away
Here or now or just along the way
Speak to me, she said
Don't you run from me, like you always did
Talk to me, she smiled
Tell me all the secrets of your mind
Tell me, what's on your mind, what's on your mind,
Leave that behind
A figure up on the rise from out of the fire, so she came
A shadow in the flames there she was
Her eyes so noble and wise
A crowned head lit up by flickering lights
I asked for her name and if I can call her when she's gone
She glanced into my eyes and then she said
My name is Lucifleure
And you can call on me anytime when I'm gone
My name is Lucifleure
And you can call on me anytime when I'm gone
Speak to me, she said
Don't you run from me, like you always did
Talk to me, she smiled
Tell me all the secrets of your mind
Lucifleure, I cried
Will you stay with me and be my guide?
Lucifleure, oh my
Will you light my way on the day I die?
Lucifleure
Lucifleure

Missing
04:57
|
|||
One of us is missing
One of us is gone
A warm emerald blissing
Until the night has come
Go follow the steps been made
Come see what path's been walked
You've got to choose which road to take
Find people one had talked to
Until the night has come
Until the night has come
Amongst old tombstones rays are shining
The fog embracing dark
Letters engraved in sandstone all weathered
The dead stroll through the park
Descending into the shadows
Rushing through the dark
Moving in the ages
Hear a distant bark
Until the night has come
Until the night has come
Moonlit ways in silver
Moonlit ways in silver
Moonlit ways in silver silence here we go
Moonlit ways will lead us to the final show
Moonlit ways will make me flow
Moonlit ways to the final show
Until the night has come
Until the night has come
One of us is missing
One of us is gone
A silver line left on the horizon
Until the night has come

Ghosthunter
02:59
|

They call me the ghost hunter,
the hunter of ghosts I am
I dare you let me in and be my host,
be my host
They call me the ghost hunter,
the bringer of light I am
Come get me a chair and we'll sit by the fire
The hunter of ghosts I am
Where I come from is none of your business,
you don't mind if I sit next to you?
How kind that you pour me a glass of your wine,
glass of your wine
We will sit by the fire till the morning,
dawn breaks in silver and blue
Come bring on more wine and tell me you're fine
The bringer of light I am
I've travelled through ages,
three oceans I have crossed
Come closer to me, closer to me,
come gaze into my eyes and you're lost
They call me ghost hunter,
the hunter of ghosts I am
Another log on the fire, there's plenty of time,
do you mind that I drink more red wine?
They call me the ghost hunter,
for the hunter of yours I am
One last toast up to you,
then it's time that we go
For the bringer of death I am
For the bringer of death I am
