Shining Black
Here we lived and here we rest Or at least what's left Of the bodies we once had The hill is now our bed Fathers, children, old and young Together here we lie Hear our lamenting In the blowing wind's lost cry Our chant is a song For the ones left behind We left home at dawn For the very last time Major, we obeyed you We climbed to the top of the hill That small river once blue Turned to red a victory's toll We wait for an angel Are we forgotten still? On this sullen mountain In the house of the fallen souls Sunbeams kiss our monument But they won't warm it up From the cold encrusted deep within its marble walls Major, we got up this hill A hill no one recalls Major, here the flag was raised But no one cares at all And our chant is a song For the ones left behind We left home at dawn For the very last time Major, we obeyed you We climbed to the top of the hill That small river once blue Turned to red of victory We wait for an angel Are we forgotten still? On this sullen mountain In the house of the fallen souls Here we lie The sons of a broken age One by one Like brothers we're fallen On this stone These writings remember you Where you are The house of the fallen souls Major, we obeyed you We climbed to the top of the hill That small river once blue Turned to red of victory We wait for an angel Are we forgotten still? On this sullen mountain In the house of the fallen souls

Alone in despair Every day of my life When the night has come I wait in the dark Sometimes I stare at you On the sea of your dreams I'm the boogeyman And I don't know where to roam I'm the boogeyman I'm always on my own All I'm searching for Is a friend, nothing more? Won't you play with me? No, don't be afraid I'm not what your grandma said I'm a lonely poor soul Everyone fears the boogeyman But there's a heart inside this black This cold dark night Is all I have to live, all my life I'm the boogeyman, I am here under your bed I'm the boogeyman, I hear the thoughts inside your head I'm the boogeyman, And I don't know where to roam I'm the boogeyman, I'm always on my own Once upon a time Such a long time ago I was a kid myself And what am I now? Just fading shades of gray Hiding in a wardrobe Everyone fears the boogeyman But there's a heart inside this black This cold dark night Is all I have to live all my life I'm the boogeyman, I am here under your bed I'm the boogeyman, I hear the thoughts inside your head I'm the boogeyman, And I don't know where to roam I'm the boogeyman, I'm always on my own You don't know me, But you know my name You can't see me, But you fear my shape You can't hear me, But you fear my steps In the dark I am the boogeyman Boogeyman I'm always on my own Boogeyman The boogeyman My heart is like a stone

Last night I couldn't fall asleep I thought how many lives I have had in this life of mine Good times and bad All the people I have met Some are faces lost in time All my memories Which made me who I am I don't know where this life Is taking me, I live it truly And take it as it comes I wanna breathe it in It's my life all I have done How many paths I have walked It's my life worth to be lived My only one, this is my life Just like a train going fast Destination unknown Through the windows I can see my world Day after day Every station down the line Finds a place in my heart And the picture Stays forever in my mind I don't know where this train Will take me, hope it keeps on going I don't wanna end too soon There's so much more to see It's my life all I have done So many mountains to climb It's my life worth to be lived My only one this is my life Don't waste your time looking back Trying to fix your mistakes I don't wanna change the past Let's see how this story will end

When the night is drawing near And the world prepares for sleep There are moments when my mind Is feeling released And I fly to a distant world Where I can find some peace There's no pain no sorrow there It's just like heaven I would like to touch the stars Twinkling in the night Saving some of their stardust In the silence I can hear Every single heartbeat If I close my eyes, I see With a paper and a pen Writing down some pointless words Come from nowhere while I'm staring at the universe On my guitar I play Some chords from far away And tonight, they tell a story A sad song I would like to touch the stars Twinkling in the night Saving some of their stardust In the silence I can hear Every single heartbeat If I close my eyes, I see Nothing matters Anymore to me Just play a song Such a sad song While I look at the world From here Wish I could live here forever And forget my problems down there Where all days have the same grey color And all hopes are condemned to vanish Here I grab my guitar and I dream on In this world made of fantasy I can let its strings do the talking Going nowhere, maybe somewhere Or wherever there's some peace of mind I would like to touch the stars Twinkling in the night Saving some of their stardust In the silence I can hear Every single heartbeat If I close my eyes, I see

A distant April lost in time Under a cherry blossom tree Falling were petals, shining white Under the sun of a new spring That's where you promised to be mine Smiling at me with sparkling eyes We hugged and left, then said goodbye We would have met next blossom time I counted the Seasons passing slowly, one by one Someone told me your life was gone On a coldest winter's night White blooms, falling down every year They fall like a cascade of pale tears After so many years still I Come to this tree in blossom time Sometimes I seem to see you here Looking at me, from the cliff Was it a thousand years ago? Could be a bit less could be more But every year you'll find me here Under this old cherry tree I'm still counting the seasons Passing slowly, and I see While petals are blooming I just think of you and me Another year is passing by Birds have arrived, loud they sing They're singing a song which has no words Broken melodies of love I think of you and your last smile Wish I had known, to say goodbye My life is drowned in shining black And there is no way out White blooms, falling down every year They fall like a cascade of pale tears Some people saw me years ago They ran in fear, crying out Telling the story of a ghost Floating in silence, all around The legend of a crying soul Started to spread in the town Curious come and try to see The spirit of the cherry tree I'm still counting the seasons Passing slowly, one by one And while petals are blooming I just think of you and me Another year is passing by Birds have arrived, loud they sing They're singing a song which has no words Broken melodies of love I think of you and your last smile Wish I had known, to say goodbye My life is drowned in a shining black And there is no way out Another year is passing by Birds have arrived, loud they sing They're singing a song which has no words Broken melodies of love I think of you and your last smile Wish I had known, to say goodbye My life is drowned in a shining black And there is no way out White blooms, falling down every year They fall like a cascade of pale tears

Just a kid with a kite Chasing after his full life And the future that is Waiting right in front of his blue eyes In the distance, an old man With his head in his hands And the past is mostly all it's left For him to hold At which point am I In my puzzling life? I wonder where I'm heading for Show me what the future brings And how long will this road be for me I'm still holding the kite's string Let the wind keep blowing while I'm free Whatever comes, tomorrow's Just another day Just another day Turn your face toward the sun Keep on walking on your path Don't you ever stop Don't try to turn your head Where your past lies Live this day as if it's your last And enjoy what's yet to come For the future's nothing But tomorrow's present day At which point am I In my puzzling life? I wonder where I'm heading for Show me what the future brings And how long will this road Be for me I'm still holding the kite's string Let the wind keep blowing While I'm free Whatever comes, tomorrow's Just another day Just another day Show me what the future brings And how long will this road Be for me I'm still holding the kite's string Let the wind keep blowing While I'm free Whatever comes, tomorrow's Just another day Just another day

Where are your gods my dear? Now that you're going down Where are your friends? The party's over You queen of every night The world was at your feet Look at you now The party's over The lights now are off And the crowd has gone home On an empty stage you're alone For all you've done My queen of lies The time has come To bring the curtain down You were the shining star You had no time for love No time for friends Nor for regrets A fortress made of gold You liked to call it home A court full of pimps Ready to bow The lights now are off And the crowd has gone home On an empty stage you're alone For all you've done My queen of lies The time has come To bring the curtain down The lights now are off And the crowd has gone home On an empty stage you're alone For all you've done My queen of lies The time has come To bring the curtain down

The wind is blowing I walk down the street And where I'm going clouds prepare for the rain The crowd is silent It goes everywhere A thousand lives each one with their hopes and cares Sometimes I like to sit and wait Watching as people walk by I try to guess how do they feel What where their dreams as a child Merry go round turn on your lights Show me the fair of life Let them all go where they belong Life is a carousel The night is coming The city turns grey From distant windows some lights starting to play Each window showing Some pieces of life Like broken paintings drawn by hands and a knife I'm sitting here alone on this bench I try to find my own pain All colors gone, faded to black There is no window for me Merry go round turn on your lights Show me the fair of life Let them all go where they belong Life is a carousel

Since the day we said goodbye Things have changed Now the sky is blue The clouds have washed away The grass is green again The flowers smell all so good By the river that you loved I wish you could be here And lie down with me Together fall asleep Cradled by the breeze The day we said goodbye It was so dark, the rain Was falling, mixing with my tears Letters to heaven For you to read Lines drawn on paper Missing you my dear The seasons passing by Are bringing a new time They teach the world That life is always moving on Like when we said goodbye The world around did not stop I must learn to live on Letters to heaven For you to read Lines drawn on paper Missing you my dear Maybe an angel will take These letters of mine To your address up there So, you can know down here I'm doing alright Don't you worry my dear Since the day we said goodbye This is my first time Along the riverside Where we used to walk I'm here to write you A message to let you know I am learning to live on

Crossing galaxies unknown Distant memories We're light years from home In the name of human kind For the sake of glory New worlds to find Message to earth Leaving all systems go Into the black hole Changing all we know Black hole bending space and time This could be our final message We'll soon see the other side But for now, into the unknown We fall It was written in the stars Stardust is what we are made of Since the day that we were born We've been looking To the sky up above Message to earth Leaving all systems go Into the black hole Changing all we know Black hole bending space and time This could be our final message We'll soon see the other side But for now, into the unknown We fall Black hole bending space and time This could be our final message We'll soon see the other side But for now, into the unknown We fall We fall
