Hold me close. Stay with me

Don’t ever leave my side

I understand you so well

I don’t need words or language

Look at me. Blink with me

Tell me what you see

If my eyes can tell a tale

A decaying empire I shall build

For you

…

It is time to take a breath

Lay rest to all the doubts

When the rains will put

The fire in my heart out

…

Hold my hand. Dance with me

All around the world

Let nature unfold in front

Of you and me and nobody else

Walk with me as we used to

Without a care in the world

None of these moments will return

Even death can’t tear me apart

From you

…

It is time to take a breath

Lay rest to all the doubts

When the rains will put

The fire in my heart out

…

Inside the madness of my mind

I feel trapped and burdened

Every day is a new battle which

I must fight to survive and live

An ocean sparkles in the night

Away from all mortal eyes

A hundred years have been wasted

And a hundred more lie in waiting

For you

…

It is time to take a breath

Lay rest to all the doubts

When the rains will put

The fire in my heart out

Whenever I set my sights on you, I fall into a deep hole

To get back up and out again, I must leave behind my soul

You used to be the only one with whom I felt free to be me

I will tell you all that I know and the truth shall eventually set me free

Or so it may seem

…

Now our world has fallen apart and it has left us cursing

The old wounds have opened back and now I must set them nursing

Only the brave can withstand the storm and I am quite willing to take the test

Will it be easier to let it pass? Would it be in everyone’s best

To let go of a dream?

…

Situations have become

A warning sign of what is to come

Roads have now begun to lead

Us back to the start at full speed

Only a loser can now claim

To be a victim of his own trap

When there is nobody else left to blame

…

Gush, gush, gush

I hear the winds blowing so loud

Stops me in my tracks. Fills me with doubt

Makes me pray. Turns my head towards the clouds

Teaches me insanity. I am going all out

Gush, gush, gush. I am going all out

I am going all out

How many victims have you claimed?

How many more you will?

Think of all the consequences

Before you make another kill

…

By gifting a beautiful present

You let them forget about tomorrow

One moment they are over the moon

The next they are filled with sorrow

…

Even the strong-willed may find it hard

To survive against your tempting hope

You push them from the top of a mountain

And watch them fall down the slope

…

And if someone ever survives the fall

You clutch them by their neck

Remove the soul from their bodies

And lay them amongst the wreck

What would the rains convey
If they had something to say
To me in the middle of the night
When all is dark and all is quiet?
…
Will they force themselves away from the clouds
And let themselves flow down and out
Into the lonely hearts of stranded creatures
While transforming them and their features?
…
Have they whispered something to me
Which may have already been passed?
Should I now go and turn back the clock
Or wait for nature to unlock?

In a factory where dreams are made
To be broken or to fade
Away when they are played
Out
In a mill which is running still
Far away against my will
And the men, they fill
It with doubt
Hold on
Hold on
Freedom
…
I may be a tiny bird
But trust me now and my words
I know that I have erred
Once or twice
Do you have a heart to pardon
All that which should be forgotten
All that is to be undone
In your eyes
Hold on
Hold on
Freedom
…
Every word rings out louder
Than a royal queen prouder
Than all the pawns around her
In a parade
Hush it away for the last
Time and try to get it past
Your mind before it casts
A shade
Hold on
Hold on
Freedom
Freedom

The window makes a hideous sound
Pitter-patter
I never liked the rain come down
Pitter-patter
…
The sound of feet running for cover
Pitter-patter
Drops of rain like tears fall all over
Pitter-patter
…
It falls down so heavily on me
Pitter-patter
My tears are lost on thee
Pitter-patter
…
The window makes a hideous sound
Pitter-patter
I never liked the rain come down
Pitter-patter

I wish I could sing
For my fellow men
And touch their hearts
Again and again
…
Fill their stomachs with my voice
Where there should be food
And though it may not be enough
It may atleast sound good
And play a soulful melody
For all the children who weep
And not stop until
I know they are fast asleep
…
I wish I could sing
For my fellow men
And touch their hearts
Again and again
…
There are homeless people out there
With not a place to stay
Music may not be their shelter
But it will surely make their day
Then there are those who are sick and injured
And going through a lot of pain
I’ll sing my songs to heal them
And I’ll sing them once again
…
I wish I could sing
For my fellow men
And touch their hearts
Again and again
