Raise

Raise some dust, and raise your voice In the crowd they'll raise their arms Stunned and wild, stupefied You know they won't raise an eyebrow Raise the curtain on their fears Raise the funds and raise an army World will crawl, you raise your empire Day has come yet, raise your glass To people's inertia, following the leader Disgraceful lackeys, greeting you with low bow Raise their spirits, raise their hopes You will raise the cheers in them Stunned and wild, stupefied Not a voice will raise in protest Raise a smile and laugh with them Raise their ancient guide from the dead World will crawl, you raise your empire Day has come yet, raise your glass To people's inertia, following the leader Disgraceful lackeys, greeting you with low bow I scorn you pathetic flesh I hate you cattle enslaved, you cardboard puppet Witty eloquence's stronger than steel Ultimate present from the gods I'll lead you on the final wane

Years have passed like centuries Through which I lived as in dream Futile quests and sweet delusions Till the day I realized Golden age's bygone Leaving just a memory Walked the path with such easiness Enjoyed naive ecstasy Haven't seen the flowing sands of time Till the day I realized Golden age's bygone Leaving just a memory Must live by my own I just wish I've never grown Stop that clock and Take delight in total stagnation Child has gone Never to return

I feel a sense of disgust for my insane peers Nothing is very much fun, day follows upon day Year follows upon year Feeling alone in the crowd, I'd rather close myself Rot away in my shell I just have to put up with it But I cannot share that space with them Cannot bear their stares Have mercy: Just give me a hand as I'm down, Hangin'on and waiting for the dawn Of an other day, bright and clear Without distress, painful headaches It makes me wonder but my dreams have gone In darker skies Slumped in my armchair I rave, I'd rather close myself Rot away in my shell Nothing is very much fun, day follows upon day Year follows upon year I just have to put up with it But I cannot share that space with them Or even bear their stares Have mercy: Just give me a hand as I'm down, Hangin'on and waiting for the dawn Of an other day, bright and clear Without distress, painful headaches It makes me wonder but my dreams have gone In darker skies No way out this time. Could just wait for the dawn. No choice but to wait for dawn

Lived for a long time surrounded By numb and indifferent crowd Wandering amid empty faces Enslaved by shallow existence Misunderstood, faced impassable walls I Could not rely on anyone I endeavoured to look like them Played this ludicrous part in vain Overwhelmed by the weigh of lies Misunderstood, had to run away Left all in this unreal comedy Don't regret this great build-up at all I did not exist Now every dawn's rebirth Released at last, I'm no longer enjailed I start from scratch again Surrounded by the crowd Devoured by constant strains I knew that I cannot live that way, amid them Insane tricks and cynical lies Now show's going on But I just left the stage I'm the one I was supposed to be No longer enjailed

I have to conceal from them all the pain in me Put it into jails of my brain Yes I know that I have no right to let them see But it'll nibble the bars to burst in anyway All the sweat of my life to give you a grin Please laugh at me on TV screen Can you see behind that smile A face twisted with disgust Can you hear beyond my laugh A resonant death-rattle I go on stage and face the void Enjoy my show I have to conceal from them all the pain in me Put it into jails of my brain I need no recognition or even small glory Just let bring sun when in your lives it rains All the sweat of my life to give you a grin Please laugh at me on TV screen Can you see behind that smile A face twisted with disgust Can you hear beyond my laugh A resonant death-rattle I go on stage and face the void Enjoy my show

Sweetness of velvet, toys around my bed Put on probation but don't really care At my call, you rushed up to see me When darkness came I felt like naked worm Impending danger as you closed the door A presence around, malicious appearance I cut off the light and hold tight the sheets Bright eyes are still staring me But my cries are vain No complain could make you up by now Watch over me Stay with babe until morning comes Watch over me Keep babe in secure and warm Now time has come to break these tender ties Free as a bird but don't really care At my call, the walls reverberate When darkness comes I feel like naked worm Impending danger and nightmarish set In which I'll live without you for evermore I cut off the light and hold tight the sheets Bright eyes are still staring me But my cries are vain No complain could make you up by now Watch over me Stay with babe until morning comes Watch over me Keep babe in secure and warm

Lying alone in this cold and quiet room I can hear their whispers now I can sense it: A turn is coming on Lying alone in this cold and quiet room The door is silently opening I can sense it: A turn is coming on Wincing faces, racked by pain They come to me as I fall asleep Climbing the stairs, to hide is vain They will get me in this night so deep Exhausted veins Bloody drugs every day Their needles in my brain They gave me one more jab supposed to relieve all that pain I tried to get away To escape from that place But my own legs betray me leaving body on that bed Wincing faces, in front of me They've come to me and I don't dare To give that fight for eternity It's just a never-ending nightmare

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist growing The water flowing The endless river

Morning has come, a ray of light Is coming through the white curtain His naked body's lying on the tiles Open eyes, dry blood and tears Across the deep lines on his face But no matter, at least death has come He was the victim of your vice Madness, cowardice The devil took his soul and let his body crawl Across the infinite sands of madness Let me tell you the story of that man Let me tell you his life of pain
