you´ll never be alone again
you´ll never die again
you´ll never be born again
you´ll forever be, stuck here in eternity
i bid you welcome to my world
they call me existence
you have just entered through the gate
to your journey towards eternity
this part i control
in the beginning you´ll fear nothing
as i climb beside you
time will be your master
in this laborious part of human subsistence
this part i control
black clouds embraces your soul
slowly passing through repeating lacunas of anguish
when time takes your life
i will transfer you into the bare grip of thinking twanquility
voices frilling the emptiness of the dead floating
seamless across the surface into chilling stillness
nothing can help you now
(bkz: in flames) (bkz: the jester race) sözleri ve melodisi ile harika bir şarkıdır.özellikle 02:09 da başlayan riffleri kafa kopartır.
stood there leaning to the city moon,
casting silhouettes tall to grip her white rooms
the black-clad voyeur in his black-clad masque
in the serpentine sun of tragedy basked
stood there cursing at the soul-dead mass
with their fabled illusions, the vain dreams that passed
splinters of a life rushing by in the whirl
alone, silent warrior in a fantasy world
he cried for night / but night could not come
so, swept in the shroud of misanthropia he went away
and fed the empty galleries
with the artifacts of the black rain
sunken into the shadows with a dry, sardonic smile
he made the footprints a part of his heart
to rouse a sacred confrontation
stood there carving on the monument to lies
digging of the earth, making friends with the soil
as the all-mother rises and bares her bleeding thighs
he disappears into her cold, icy womb
i lie in your soother arms, lord hypnos
your garmet alive with your song
i lie in your soother arms, lord hypnos
steep the spiral to your far abode,
in the wake of slumber, on visions i rode
and fell like history through the chasm of ages
into the charged, forbidden zones
how i have searched
through a million worlds and faces
yet unaware, i have not found
my own true face, traceless and profound
so, find me in these grandiose halls
where long ago summers eternally fall
and tune the strings of truthful longing
to the frozen music of gods
hypnagonia's lucid horizons
play with the yearning i've quelled
as i strike towrads the pantheon
and what therein is held
i'm in a mental cage,
i'm locked up
imprisoned i live,
deathlike, sickening
strong is your hold
on my resignation
i don't see the stars,
my memories are veiled
in fluid dreams
i fall i'm restless
walls made of stone
are turned into water now
enlightened demons
are taking me by the hand
approaching me,
this great eye speaking
mountainous waves
are breaking on my despair
awaken me but i'm still dreaming
and i just plunge
into this sea of light
set open the doors of soul
i'm living
lightning struck me
i see the path i was so scared of
and fly to the stars
conviction now increasing at last
my skin is broken
i see the smallest part of me
my mind is alive
but i'll never bow to this again
why do they call me there
how can i fly to
all this water
i don't feel like
i could ever swim to them
whales in the sky
i feel they're so close
inside, and yet so far away
burst into tears, i feel sad
my dreams aflame
the force is now away
lie on a stone,
drop this load and cry to see
the ocean planet is on burn
(bkz: gojira) (bkz: from mars to sirius) albümünün beşinci şarkısıdır.bazı yerlerde "where dragons fall" olarak da geçer.
a deep voice is rising
from the heart of the mountain
vibrations of the stone
i can hear in my heart
the call of instinct
the flight of the powerful
i hunger for it
it just keeps me alive
i met the dragon
in a cave by the mountain
now i bring the evidence
the beast is alive
this ageless army
will stike in the morning
and then a star will rise
and shine in the sky
but i grow impatient
cannot stand the wait
and i start to dig
within me
this tunnel to i
in this region of me
a great dragon is lying
on the wealth of a mighty world
my own world inside
i saw
i saw monsters
and i
and i started to dig within
when i
when i turn my back on them
they devour me
in this region of me
a dragon is lying there
awake
monster
monster king
do now scorn them
but do not fear them
muster
muster thy army
dragons are the myth alive
in the heart of men
(bkz: gojira) (bkz: from mars to sirius) albümünün en güzel,en dinlerken zevk alınası şarkısıdır.albümün altıncı şarkısıdır.
lay down fall away
lie awake
just cannot move
my arms and legs
i'm paralyzed
don't recall how to free
myself from this
in the heart of the dark
my face contorted
don't know how to
reach the light
but i feel so bad
like a freak in a cage
open the door
enter your heart
you go so far
golden unworldly silence
space flight at speed of light
i cross the clouds and colours
the black hole is calling me
i slide on the horizon
on the frontier not to cross
black dwarf
time's gone distorted
in the heart of the dark
a whirl of light
enter in
the realm of nothingness
i fell the cold, my eyes are shut
my fear is slowly dying
light years from here
are my thoughts and cages
i can hear their moan
but now a long deep breath
is calling
overtaking time
and now understanding space
i feel united
i do cross light
i feel the living
here in the center
stands the light of love
that never can be touched
from greater silence
shall return
quo vadis'in Defiant Imagination albümünün giriş şarkısı.albümün en sağlam parçalarındandır.mükemmeldir tek kelime ile.
unbalance starts to rise within the population, revolution begins
a hunger for power is launched, their dreams: becoming the leader of the
alliance
a hidden disturbance is felt throughout the community, its force augments
the stakes are increasing, tension is high, a clash of the titans
begins to shed reality on the realm
guidance ignored, they strive to acheive thier goals
opponents will grow
they will plan a future
disregarding lives
to focus on their desires
the end of a race begins
allies will assist
honour is revealed
some will return
others will rest in war
a new world defined in tears
a new world defined in tears
trying to acheive order in the senate: seeking the moles
members are few who do provide separately, aiming to conquer vengeance of man
rebels increase their offense, they wear their masks to climb the ranks
their plans rehearsed, the walk alone soldeirs see the paths intent
they disagree but voiceless words are heard
guidance ignored, the wisdom is overlooked
opponents will grow
they will plan a future
disregarding lives
to focus on their desires
the end of a race begins
allies will assist
honour is revealed
some will return
others will rest in war
a new world defined in tears
a new world defined in tears
undercover violence with worshipping power
unrestricted support for loyalty at large
answers are few, questions open ended
conflict nearby, the pressure is rising
violence closing in on the inhabitants
silence calls the storm
sadece bir şarkı olmanın ötesine geçmiş the cure şaheseri.wish albümündendir.
every time we do this
i fall for her
wave after wave after wave
it's all for her
i know this can't be wrong i say
(and i'll lie to keep her happy)
as long as i know that you know
that today i belong
right here with you
right here with you...
and so we watch the sun come up
from the edge of the deep green sea
and she listens like her head's on fire
like she wants to believe in me
so i try
put your hands in the sky
surrender
remember
we'll be here forever
and we'll never say goodbye...
i've never been so
colourfully-see-through-head before
i've never been so
wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
and all i want is to keep it like this
you, me alone
a secret kiss
and don't go home
don't go away
don't let this end
please stay
not just for today
never never never never never let me go she says
hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
but suddenly she slows
and looks down at my breaking face
why do you cry? what did i say?
but it's just rain i smile
brushing my tears away...
i wish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i've cried over you
how much more can we use it up?
drink it dry?
take this drug?
looking for something forever gone
but something
we will always want?
why why why are you letting me go? she says
i feel you pulling back
i feel you changing shape...
and just as i'm breaking free
she hangs herself in front of me
slips her dress like a flag to the floor
and hands in the sky
surrenders it all...
i whish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i've cried for you
it's always the same
wake up in the rain
head in pain
hung in shame
a different name
same old game
love in vain
and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
away from home again...
supertramp'ın çok güzel bir şarkısı.sözleri ayar verme dersi vermektedir adeta.ortasında giren piyano solosu ise mükemmeldir.sözleri;
i can see you in the morning when you go to school
don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
and be like johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
- he's coming along!
after school is over you're playing in the park
don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
they tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
and grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out
- and you're full of doubt
don't do this and don't do that
what are they trying to do?- make a good boy of you
do they know where it's at?
don't criticize, they're old and wise
do as they tell you to
don't want the devil to
come out and put your eyes
maybe i'm mistaken expecting you to fight
or maybe i'm just crazy, i don't know wrong from right
but while i am still living, i've just got this to say
it's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see that way
- you're coming along!
i want somebody to share
share the rest of my life
share my innermost thoughts
know my intimate details
someone who'll stand by my side
and give me support
and in return
she'll get my support
she will listen to me
when i want to speak
about the world we live in
and life in general
though my views may be wrong
they may even be perverted
she'll hear me out
and won't easily be converted
to my way of thinking
in fact she'll often disagree
but at the end of it all
she will understand me
i want somebody who cares
for me passionately
with every thought and
with every breath
someone who'll help me see things
in a different light
all the things i detest
i will almost like
i don't want to be tied
to anyone's strings
i'm carefully trying to steer clear of
those things
but when i'm asleep
i want somebody
who will put their arms around me
and kiss me tenderly
though things like this
make me sick
in a case like this
i'll get away with it
the day is gone
when the angels come to stay
and all the silent whispers
will be blown away
and lying in the corner
a pair of high heel shoes
hanging on the wall
gold and silver for the blues
one too many wasted sunsets
one too many for the road
and after dark the door is always open
hoping someone else will show
someone is waiting behind
an unlocked door
grey circles overhead empties
on the floor
the cracks in the walls have
grown too long
the slow hand is dragging on
afraid to meet the dawn
one too many wasted sunsets
one too many for the road
and after dark the door is always open
hoping someone else will show
mysterious objects of flight on a voyage
to correct what they have done, what we are doing
perhaps submerged, living in the inner most
recesses of the planet - no choice but
to adapt to an underground world
limiting our passages of thought
are they the examples of regression
a life form's abusive progression
in a realm so vast, we sit among the vacant planets
so many worlds yet to be seen that once have shared
the same effects that come from greed, mass production
perhaps submerged, living in the inner most
recesses of the planet - no choice but
to adapt to an underground world
limiting our passages of thought
are they the examples of regression
a life form's abusive progression
in a realm so vast, we sit among the vacant planets
born into darkness
where sounds portray the images that are out
out of reach from my sight
which has been denied
hands change into my eyes
body senses intensified
sight so close yet far away
in dreams my thoughts take their form
to give memories identity
through dreams i obtain
the ability to connect sight with sound
close your eyes and imagine to be without
what we take for granted every time we open our eyes
a permanent shadow to never step away
feel the dark in the cold
feel the warmth of the light
which has been denied
hands change into my eyes
body senses intensified
sight so close yet far away
in dreams my thoughts take their form
to give memories identity
through dreams i obtain
the ability to connect sight with sound
there is a mask
that covers up one's true intentions
once removed, things become very clear
analyze behaviour patterns to see beneath
the person that is presented to you
vulnerable through trust
life is a twisted maze of obstacles
presented by people with a secret face
what's on the outside
is not always all that is real
live by caution, what i feel
when things are reserved
people are shown for what they are
the truth is revealed
banish the false
pacifying moments with an acquired disguise to obtain
the things they want
by the anguish of someone else
materialistic motives are fulfilled
cherish the true
vulnerable through trust
life is a twisted maze of obstacles
presented by people with a secret face
controlling their lives
deciding when and how they will die
a victim of someone else's choice
the ones who suffer have no voice
manipulating destiny
when it comes to living, no one seems to care
but when it comes to wanting out
those with power, will be there
prolong the pain
how long will it last?
suicide machine
a request to die with dignity
is that too much to ask?
suicide machine
how easy it is to deny the pain
of someone else's suffering
robbed of natural abilities
in death they now seek tranquility
in a confused state of mind
extending agony, they must be blind
manipulating destiny
when it comes to living, no one seems to care
but when it comes to wanting out
those with power, will be there
prolong the pain
how long will it last?
suicide machine
a request to die with dignity
is that too much to ask?
suicide machine
death'in human albümünün ilk şarkısıdır.mükemmel bir solosu vardır.
where is the person that could have been
who, what took over, when did the end begin
should we not prepare for the uncertain
mysteries of our life, of our destiny
see things that are not there
intruding voices
what went wrong to their picture perfect life
they once knew - flattening of emotions
a mind shared by an uninvited stranger
which comes and goes as choose to appear
should we not prepare for the uncertain
mysteries of our life, of our destiny
see things that are not there
intruding voices
what went wrong to their picture perfect life
they once knew - flattening of emotions
Let me tell you 'bout my life,
Let me tell you 'bout my dreams,
Let me tell you 'bout the thing that happen, all is real to me.
Let me tell you of my hope, of my need to reach the sky,
Let me take you on an awkward journey, let me tell you why.
Let me tell you why
Why should these curses be laid upon me,
I won't be forgiven 'til I can break free,
What did I do to deserve all this guilt,
Pay for my sins, for the sale of my soul.
Demons are trapped all inside my head,
My hopes of god, reach for heaven from hell,
My sins are many, my guilt is too heavy,
The question of knowing of how then what I know?
I'm able to see things, things that I don't wanna see,
The lies of a thousand souls weigh heavy down on me
I know they're crying for help reaching out
The burden of them will take me down as well
The sin of a thousand souls knocked out in vain
Reincarnation of me live again
Someone to save me,
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation
To exorcise this hell
Someone to save me,
Something to save me from myself
To bring Salvation
To exorcise this hell
Someone to save me
Something to save me from my hell
Our destination away from this nightmare
Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation
To exorcise this hell

who could call my name without regretting
who could see beyond this my darkness
and for once save their own prayers
who could mirror down just a little
of their sun
how could this go so very wrong
that i must depend on darkness
would anyone follow me further down
how could this go so very far
that i need someone to say
what is wrong
not with the world but me
who could call my name without regretting
who could promise to never destroy me
tonight my head is full of wishes
and everything i drink is full of her
