Flood

A cold winter's night Quiet and black There's no one but us And the whole world stands back While we lose ourselves In stories we tell Suddenly everything changes As we open doors into a different world Everything that I knew Seems to become untrue And the sky changes colours From grey into blue Why wonder what's won Why wonder what's lost Why wonder if what we have Was worth the cost When we have all That we could ever need to have Sometimes we all feel discouraged Are tired and sad Or just in a strange mood In the darkest of hours Faced with the bitter truth We need to find ways to make Grey skies seem blue So come on paint your grey skies blue

So here I am Just a man with his empty hands Right here I'd go down on my knees And offer submission If it made my grey skies blue So hear my call Well, it won't make no difference at all Right here I would speak any vow And promise I'd give If it made my grey skies blue I know that I have a habit Of taking things too hard How often you've almost got mad about that Well, I know what you mean When you say things are never as bad as they seem Although I don't really think That you are truly right Every word I'll deny If I get through this night So here I am Just a man with his empty hands Right here I'd go down on my knees And offer submission If it made my grey skies blue So hear my call Well, it won't make no difference at all Right here I would speak any vow And promise I'd give If it made my grey skies blue Sometimes I wonder Why we try to plan anything at all It never works out And life goes on its own secret ways When I feel like I'm losing my grip I remind you still saying "Those days won't last forever I swear you'll be back under skies of blue" Well, I know what you mean When you say life is not as unfair as it seems Although I don't really think That you are truly right Every word I'll deny If I get through this night So here I am Just a man with his empty hands Right here I'd go down on my knees And offer submission If it made my grey skies blue So hear my call Well, it won't make no difference at all Right here I would speak any vow And promise I'd give If it made my grey skies blue

There's a black river flowing A poisoned stream Out of nowhere it comes And nowhere it leads There's no today, and no tomorrow That river is fed By the dark thoughts of those That have a black heart inside And I feel how I get close To them myself, in all my sorrow And the river starts dragging me in Silently I watched and waited Each and every night You should have anticipated That something was not right Would you hold the line In days like these my friend Would you hold the line Or would you cut it off at your end Something crawls out of the river Something crawls all over my skin Something is trying to get hold of my heart I'm losing my sense of direction And I cannot remember Anything but the world fading to grey As the river is dragging me in Silently I watched and waited Each and every night You should have anticipated That something was not right Would you hold the line In days like these my friend Would you hold the line Or would you cut it off at your end In a short clear moment I force all my resistance So I stretch out my hands to reach out For the river's bank I'm not yet ready to go under I'm not yet giving up There still is a chance to find Someone that's worth Taking any risk, and taking on any fight That makes me put all of these sorrows aside Sometimes it takes just a word To save a life So if you get to that river one day You better take my advice Don't forget what I say It's not too late to turn around So don't let it drag you in Would you hold the line In days like these my friend Would you hold the line Or would you cut it off at your end Would you hold the line

Catch a dream and let it Take you by the hand Follow your imagination And you will discover wonderland That place is nowhere to be found But once in a while it may come around You won't find it if you seek But it can find you any time Into clear water I look down And I see strange creatures moving around Is it a completely different world Or a reflection that I see A strange place is where they live In a fragile dream they act as if They were the only ones around And that world was Their very own design Call it kind of madness Call it just a dream Call it lack of reason Or you can call it lack of self-esteem Sometimes when there is no way out It may be wise to take the way inside When you come back You see thing clearer every time Into clear water I look down And I see strange creatures moving around Is it a completely different world Or a reflection that I see A strange place is where they live In a fragile dream they act as if They were the only ones around And that world was Their very own design We work hard all our lifetime For a little place to call our own Or anything, strong enough for clutching at We're driven to go on and on To ignore our broken pride, our broken hearts And all those broken dreams we had Take me away I want to lay that pressure down The daily treadmill eats us up And when it spits us out again We all have gone half the way to insanity So what else could keep our souls alive but the hope There's more to our lives That there's another wilder bright reality Take me away I want to lay that pressure down This is more than I can take Sometimes when there is no way out It may be wise to take the way inside When you come back You see things clearer every time Into clear water I dive down And I touch the creatures moving around This is a completely different world But truly this is real A strange place is where we live And from down here it looks as if We were the only ones around And this world was Our very own design

In a silent world I had lived without sight or sound In all that time You know I felt that shame But I put the blame on everyone around In all that time And I had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief In all that time And I had lost those wings that carried me To any place I longed to be In all that time I should have Let you know one thing That what you saw Was just my shadow A picture black and white The colours shining bright Were washed away In that rain still falling down on me Was all that a curse Whatever promised to get better Turned out worse In all that time I lived under that spell I was caught in my own private hell In all that time And I had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief In all that time And I had lost all hope I was clutching at a burning rope Helpless like a child In all that time I should have Let you know one thing That what you saw Was just my shadow A skeleton disguised A soul devitalised A body caught in automation I lay awake that night Wishing you could hold me tight I could as well have been dead I never dared to say the words I should have said I should have known That it won't get better just by waiting Or telling myself That I would try to be a better man And I should have known That I ran away too often Instead of moving on In a silent world I had lived without sight or sound In all that time You felt my distress And I can only guess What you've been through In all that time I should have let you know That I had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief In all that time And I had lost all hope I was clutching at a burning rope Helpless like a child In all that time I should have Let you know one thing That what you saw Was just my shadow A skeleton disguised A soul devitalised A body caught in automation I lay awake that night Wishing you could hold me tight I could as well have been dead I never dared to say the words I should have said I should have known That it won't get better just by waiting Or telling myself That I would try to be a better man And I should have known That I ran away too often Instead of moving on Instead of moving on

I may not be one to rely on Too often I'm not even there It may be that I don't care The way I should do And all of that may be unfair I know it's true That I could have made more out of my life But we have us, and bit of all we need So I won't complain And I need no lame excuses To be just what I am Nothing more Probably it's true That I am sometimes too proud Of a career that might be even Not worth talking about I know that all our friends Might make more money than I do But I don't want to be in their shoes Because that's my point of view I know it's true That I could have made more out of my life But we have us, and bit of all we need So I won't complain And I need no lame excuses To be just what I am Nothing more I could be a man of means With a big house and a limousine I could be all of that and more And I could work all day And work all night as well Oh yes, I know I know too well That it's true That I could have made more out of my life But we have us, and a bit of all we need So I won't complain And I need no lame excuses To be just what I am Nothing more None of us would need any lame excuses If we were what we are Nothing more

Big sun, up in the sky You burn my skin And you hurt my eyes Big river, closing in upon us Our lives are swept away In your floods that rise The farmer lays the crop Down into deadly ground Growing our children's food One day I walked in a river bed A silent trace of waters that once flew One day I stood on a mountain top The world below was not the one I knew We dance and laugh out in the acid rain Are we travellers on a ship of fools ? Are we all blind Are we all blind or maybe We just don't want to see But want to trust that man on TV Who's saying everything's going to be alright Be alright for you and me We walk right on the edge of nowhere With our heads held high And obviously nobody cares They all walk on by As if they were not concerned at all You better look twice At each line in the papers You better look twice At that man on TV You better look twice Into the eyes of your leaders Or just look around See the dying world Don't you see it fade away In silent grace One day I walked in a river bed A silent trace of waters that once flew One day I stood on a mountain top The world below was not the one I knew We dance and laugh out in the acid rain Are we travellers on a ship of fools ? Are we all blind Are we all blind or maybe We just don't want to see But want to trust that man on TV Who's saying everything's going to be alright Be alright for you and me We walk right on the edge of nowhere With our heads held high And obviously nobody cares They all walk on by As if they were not concerned at all

It's a golden age you say But not for those That choose to go their way And not the way you chose Why do you tell your son What he has got to do Why do you want him To become exactly like you ? In the end he will learn to know better Than to trust in somebody like you I don't believe in democracy's voice I won't rely on a king to be wise I won't give in to the majority's choice Because I don't think that the majority's right In the end I learnt to know better Than to trust in the majority So this time I won't be a victim In all of these years I have learned to defend My army's marched up and my strategy's clear I'm back in the real life again So watch out, I'll shoot without warning If you get too close I will bite We're always pretending to be civilized Behaving like cavemen A chain will only be as strong As its weakest link I won't rely on your tribal spirit Because to me it is nothing but herd instinct In the end I learnt to know better Than to trust in a tribe like this So this time I won't be a victim In all of these years I have learned to defend My army's marched up and my strategy's clear I'm back in the real life again So watch out, I'll shoot without warning Don't get too close, I will bite We're always pretending to be civilized Behaving like cavemen In the end I learnt to know better Than to trust in a tribe like this So this time I won't be a victim In all of these years I have learned to defend My army's marched up and my strategy's clear I'm back in the real life again So watch out, I'll shoot without warning Don't get too close, I will bite We're always pretending to be civilized Behaving like cavemen

We have done everything to hurt The other in this war without a word We have fought for things that hardly were Worth thinking about, so why don't you prefer To break the silence And put the weapons down We can talk it over - still Somehow we seem to have dislearned To communicate, and that's why we have turned To a form of silent conversation That led us straight into alienation I almost can't believe That this is us, still you and me That we just don't speak no more What happened to the ones We have been before ? Sometimes we just don't understand That the stone we kick away Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone Sometimes we have to speak our mind Just to get the proof That there never is a simple truth If you had let me be the one I am If I had let you be the one you are If we both had sometimes tried to understand Certainly it would never have come that far I almost can't believe That this is us, still you and me That we sit right here With our lips sealed tight Instead of speaking it out To make everything turn out right Sometimes we just don't understand That the stone we kick away Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone Sometimes we have to speak our mind Just to get the proof That there never is a simple truth Well, I know For you it's perfectly clear What is going on here That's your simple truth Don't you know I've got my own point of view That might be just as true As your simple truth So turn around and open up your mouth And speak your mind I almost can't believe That this is us, still you and me We could make it right Or break it up instead But anyway we should not forget We never know what we'll find But we know what we leave behind Sometimes we just don't understand That the stone we kick away Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone Sometimes we have to speak our mind Just to get the proof That there never is a simple truth

The wind and the rain And the deep blue sea Ahead and around As far as the eye can see Is it only cheap comfort Or an easy way out But did I have any choice But breaking out ? What good is a life If all that it brings Is the pain and frustration To dance on the strings What good is a man If he's got nothing to give If he's too strong to die But too weak to live ?
