Fleeting Birds
03:10
|
|||
My mom taught me
how to be an early bird
not to suffer hunger pangs
not to fear my self at all
and I know
yes I know
I won't be good
and I know
yes I know
you won't be there
I woke up early to catch the worm
but it didn't work
I now have nothing more
than rusty steel in my mouth
I chose to be a fleeting bird
‘cause it couldn't work
for me to be in a cage
not even just to rest my weary bones

Just Mad
03:21
|
|||
I dreamed about a stranger
who came from far away
he looked weird other than us
and so I hated him
he said
I come to you in peace
but I confess I'm surprised
to see what you managed
to do to poor planet earth
how could that happen?
what did you wrong here?
you must just be mad
we must just be mad

Never Ever
02:30
|

You never ever let the ugliness win
don't even try to stay away from it
stop trying not to be bad
you know you will
for you will get the better of it
you never ever let the madness win
don't even try to stay away from it
stop trying not to be mad
you know you will
for you will get the better of it
You never ever let the sadness win
don't even try to stay away from it
stop trying not to be sad
you know you will
for you will get the better of it
you just let the shining win
don't even try to stay away from it
enjoy the beauty of little things
I know you will
for you will get the better of it

The Bank
02:20
|
|||
A bank for the needy
a place where to feel safe
a chance to grab a bite
a bank for the poor souls
a reason to feel safe
when you own nothing at all
the anger of mother nature
and millions and millions died
the rage of holy flood
then silence all around
that's not what we hoped
for us and the ones we loved,
for each living being
you know what we got
for we didn't guard enough
the ones we loved

El Paso Stars
02:12
|
|||
When the sun is gone
and the sky is dark
the stars look at you
when you feel you're done
your inner light is gone
the stars come to you
the stars look at you
for your love is gone
for the night is dark
the stars look at you

Golden Rings
02:43
|
|||
I'm from where the ground rises
proud member of the hill tribes
noble deep eyes
gentle unripe outline
oh land sweet land
how I miss you
we used to live in wooden houses
we used to share our everything
we used to run through green fields
and decorate our neck
of golden rings
the war of nine armies
never ended
and what brought you here
they said
a city of hiding places
where evil never sleeps

Roma
02:26
|
|||
The illusion of a great empire
of a safe and prosperous land
of a proud and patriotic folk
of a lasting and perpetual peace
none of what you've been taught is true
Rome has never been the capital of beauty
that's what you've been led to believe
that's what you've been trained to adore
get back your freedom of thought
get back your freedom of speech
forced to escape from false convictions
you must now face the brutal truth
of the greatest deception
you must free yourself from lies

Stolen Land
02:59
|
|||
I can't look at the sea anymore
anytime I do so
I see my bother's eyes
swallowed by the waves
I can't go back home anymore
anytime I do so
I hear my mother's cries
screaming out loud my name
I can't get back there anymore
anytime I do so
I feel my father's soul
crying for a stolen land
