A Kingdom to Disappear

Sleep is good, death is better, it's true, The best of all was never to be born at all

"...Nothing lives less in me than my life" [Kaspar Hauser, 1812-1833] 16 years imprisonment 16 years no talk 16 years of darkness While I didn't breathe a word I'll be missing tonight, but no one will miss me I have not grown lonely but I've always been I'll be gone for this time while each one is dancing I have not grown lonely but I've always been Now that I'm set loose - My breathing seems diffuse I shall overcome this life - Overcome this abuse I'll be missing tonight, but no one will miss me I have not grown lonely but I've always been I'll be gone for this time while each one is dancing I have not grown lonely but I've always been Every man for himself and god against all, A crime against a man's soul I'll be missing tonight, but no one will miss me I have not grown lonely but I've always been I'll be gone for this time while each one is dancing I have not grown lonely but I've always been

"...Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." - Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900 People die of common sense, Dorian. One lost moment at a time. There's no hereafter. So make it burn with the hardest flame. Am I to fade? Am I to share this fate? I have seen my soul! It's rotten, black as coal! For all I see is decay. Take a look, take a look At the picture of Dorian Gray! How sad it is. I shall grow old! If it only were I who's to be always young And the picture grows old. For that I would give everything I would give my soul for that. I can assure you, Pleasure is very different from happiness. I have seen my soul! It's rotten, black as coal! For all I see is decay. Take a look, take a look At the picture of Dorian Gray!

"...Poland is not yet lost!" [Polish National Anthem] Can you feel the unmight of my reign? How can I counter when everything's in vain! But oh, people have no fear In a kingdom to disappear! And it is too late, and it is too late And it is to late And it is too late, and it is too late And it is to late Cut by the fat profligate, The emperor and Catherine the Great, Vanished from the face of the Earth For 123 years. But oh, people have no fear In a kingdom to disappear! And it is too late, and it is too late And it is to late And it is too late, and it is too late And it is to late

"...Can a heart be of gold if it rusts?" As I reached a blind alley I had no where else to go But to Central Valley To exploit and make it grow So I did and I reaped fruit of my hands work The wealth I enriched Turned daylight into murk I have faith and love you Was the last I heard When I set my sails And embarked upon a new world I will name it New Helvetia Where I'll lose it all So what, True hope knows no equal And I'll lose it all Gold, no way to conceal As wanderers pour out Convoys of officials Gather to set about Can a heart be of gold if it rusts? It can't here I'm with you, And so much for my trust! I have faith and love you Was the last I heard When I set my sails And embarked upon a new world I will name it New Helvetia Where I'll lose it all So what, True hope knows no equal And I'll lose it all

I am dying alone while you were with me at home For us, woe come life, come death Halting, you take your last breath It's over, my friend That's when everybody gets hurt In this moment, again. It's over, my friend That's when everybody gets hurt We have chosen the end None foreshadowed the end No one to seek revenge No matter what people throw But the two of us only know It's over, my friend That's when everybody gets hurt In this moment, again. It's over, my friend That's when everybody gets hurt We have chosen the end

"...The passing bells were tolling for an everybody's soul." 1848 the people addressed it to the king "...End the serious, imperious Regency that's fearing us" Thus the passing bells Were tolling For an everybody's soul 254 - Can't take no more But 40,000 stood brave for This fail, tonight We were all at liberty To bail for rights We were brave While bombard's burst was hailing skies We were always young, We were the youth! We had no choice, this time! From the Baltic Sea To the Black Forest One could hear From Pomerania to the Alps For the very first time in German history People had a vote on whom To represent them (and the) right to build A national assembly at their will This fail, tonight We were all at liberty To bail for rights We were brave While bombard's burst was hailing skies We were always young, We were the youth! We had no choice, this time! "...The great question of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions...but by iron and blood." [Otto Von Bismarck, 1815-1898]

First there was this lie, second we defied Third I had to go, beg for help, well I don't know Fourth I had to stay, not when you were here When I got your death notice, my breath Would turn to ice! And so my heart bursts at the seam but never dies Can never feel the same, can every little flame Just hold its breath and set afire the rain Hold you by my side The tears that I have cried Are an everlasting pain Never felt so blue, never felt so sad, Never felt so lone, since I am on my own Never felt so weak, not since you were here I can't stand this pain, can't stand this life Can't stand myself And so I repeat these words for the world to know Can never feel the same, can every little flame Just hold its breath and set afire the rain Hold you by my side The tears that I have cried Are an everlasting pain A silent soul screams loud Since there's no hope to sprout My heart will bleed until the sun burns out I'm left to be alone I'm sentenced to atone And all I wish is just to have you home Can never feel the same, can every little flame Just hold its breath and set afire the rain Hold you by my side The tears that I have cried Are an everlasting pain
