OH CÉCILIA
We put our love on hold ~ And
breathe heavy on the floor ~
Blood drops from my mouth
and your fist mirrors your soul
… oh ~
Oh Cécilia what have we done
~ We just fight a little more ~ If
this is your idea of fun ~ Then
we better run, run, run ~
Now I’m the beast you never
wanted me to be ~ now I’m the
beast you always saw in me ~
now I’m the beast that lingered
deep inside a hole ~ And
waited for a chance to break
loose ~
We’re always running, we’re
always on the run ~ But we’ll
never get there in peace, get
there in one piece ~
Oh Cécilia what have we done
with all the hatred you might
be in the right ~ Maybe you are
wrong, and sorry I am not ~
Cause blood drops from my
mouth

BROTHER
You put me always on the
bicycle while you were on the
airplane ~ You killed for money
in the backyard while I lived
my life down in the swamps ~
You were more like a movie
star while I was working at
the popcorn cart ~ Now we’re
in the same train wishing not
but we are ~ Now we’re in that
damn train wishing not but we
are ~
I follow right behind you
in the dark ~ If you just turn
around you’d see me standing
~ Like some kind of demon ~
Demon, demon, demon
like some kind of demon, demon,
demon ~ Like some kind
of demon, demon ~
One of us split the night with
his brilliant neon lights ~ While
the other just watched and
stared, setting his insides on
fire ~ I always had to pay for
that love you got for free ~ Now
we’re in the same train wishing
not but we are ~ Now we’re in
that damn train wishing not but
we are ~ Cause this is getting
dangerous, serious oh brother,
oh brother ~
I follow right behind you
in the dark ~ If you just turn
around you’d see me standing ~
They say it’s just a hurricane
~ Like some kind of demon

Haze of our Youth

HAZE OF OUR
YOUTH
In the haze of my youth I
understand ~ Under cover of
the night we used to howl ~ We
were scared and afraid to be
left alone ~ Not to be loved
never loved ~ Never ever loved
We were forced to drill a hole
in a carcass ~ To prevent that
dead thing from exploding ~
Please turn on that radio ~
I need to hear that radio voice
We will never find, we will
never find ~ That lost thing that
was washed upon that rugged
coast ~ I didn’t see, I didn’t
smell, I didn’t hear, I just felt,
underneath, bare feet, sand, so
it must be somewhere around
here ~ Please turn on the radio
~ I need to hear that radio
voice ~
I wanna go back into that
haze ~ I wanna go back, though
I know I can’t ~ I wanna go
back into that haze ~
In the haze of my youth I now
understand ~ That the years
have past now our throat are
dry ~ Dyspnea is the thing we
fear the most ~ Not to be loved
cause we were loved ~ Until we
forgot ~
The spirits that forced us to
drill a hole ~ Are just faint little
sighs that we oppress ~ That we
hold back that we hold down
until everything blows up right
in our face ~
I wanna go back into that haze
~ I wanna go back, though I
know I can’t ~ At least gimme
that radio, that radio voice

Don't Believe them

DON’T BELIEVE
THEM
It’s the calm after the storm
that I’m fearing ~ It’s the faces
that we paint ~ On windows
when it’s raining ~ But on sunny
days, they are reappearing
~ Like ghosts from the past ~
Singing we were here, we were
here ~
Is it ok if I’m freezing ~
guess it’s better than to burn ~
I don’t want those fuckers screaming
~ What I already know ~
Don’t believe them saying a
word ~ We will be alright
forget about the signs in the
sky ~ We will be alright ~
It’s the moment when you
realize ~ That your stranded by
the tide ~ And all that you can
do is ~ Wait, wait, wait ~
From afar a thunder roars ~
And the air just smells like rain
~ And through your telescope
you think ~ You think you see
the water rise

HOME
There are so many roads that
we could take ~ But it seems as
if we took the wrong ~
Home is closer than we
know ~ Home is closer than we
know ~ Home is closer than we
know ~
There are so many roads that
we could take ~ I call upon
your name to lead the way
home ~ I call upon you name

700
After 700 days of snow ~
And another 700 nights ~
We witnessed from afar ~ how
spring shed his light on us ~
But then Sally took a gun
Ran into the open fields ~
Pointed it at the skies ~
And pulled the trigger twice
Sally took a gun ~ Left it on the
ground ~
«no one ever was supposed to
see. No one will ever believe -
me» ~
I thought I heard her cry ~
I thought I saw her hide ~
Then I took her gun ~
And made it mine ~ I shot it at
the sky ~ As if to scare away the
sun ~ As if a bullet could help ~
To rewind ~ Then I took her
gun ~ And made it Mine ~ Yes I
made it Mine ~ I took her gun
Another 700 days might be just
fine

NEBULA
Fire, fire ~ I sense the smell of
smoke from burning bridges
in the air ~ They’re all liars ~
liars ~ Speaking of the
difference when indifference
is what they preach ~
But let them preach, do the
talk ~ These burning bridges
will lighten up the way ~ Please
let them preach and do the Talk
but let These burning bridges
guide your way ~
Cause we will ~ rebuild ~
The only way back to close
the gap is to rebuild ~ rebuild
rebuild ~ rebuild

HIGHWAY
Come to me in anticipaton ~
Stay with me as long as you can
~ I follow you as long as you
lead me ~ And I love you as
long as I can ~
This night will end as sure
as the last one ~ And yes you
are what we all call beautiful ~
But with all your satellites and
all your monstermachines ~
You still can predict the we-
ather ~ So we’re back in our
cars ~ Back in our cars ~
Waiting for the highway to
end ~ Waiting for the highway
to end ~
I promise you I’ll be there
when you wake ~ I’ll bleed for
you as long as there’s blood
in me ~ I dream with you, the
dreams you need to dream ~
I’ll breath for you as long as
there’s air

GOOD-BYE
Promise you won’t die in
me and I promise I’ll stop the
blame ~ There’s no need to lie,
no one can fill the cracks you
left
Good-bye Good-bye
Good-bye say it ~ Good-bye
Good-bye Good-bye say it
Sally, say it ~ Letting you go is
keeping you near

THE GATHERING
We gathered in the dark
in the midst of the wood ~
Under the pale halos of stars
spinning like dervishes
I ain’t blind but I had no
warnings ~ It’s the small
things that kill you, not the
giants
We can burn down everything
to dust ~ But the rusty
nails they stay ~ As we walk
we bleed
I ain’t blind but I had no
warnings ~ It’s the small
things that kill you, not the
giants
Blood runs, blood runs,
blood paints ~
Remember it’s the small
things that kill ~ So fear no
giants child
