2. The Weight
The view from here it is so frightening
I world of tide pools, incopleteness all around
A got beat lightnails
Deep into the flesh of a summer night
Words fell from, a paper moon
To come alive in a lonely room
Time was standing still
As giants broke the cardboard sword
The old bridge sank into the river
All certainties disappeared
Roads and rivers are winding in the circle
A round the curled up monumental me
Outside looking in time and again
Feeling the weight of a jaded dream
The view from here it is so frightening
Far away between Sirius and Vega
All along the road of ancient gods
In the black heart of Orion
Beneath the surface of the soul
The monumentum
Everything is so different now
The moon looks down with orphaned eyes
And a lighthouse sends our fragile signals
To a distant desert sea
Roads and rivers are winding in the circle
A round the curled up monumental me
Outside looking in time and again
Feeling the weight of a jaded me
3. The Lonely Views of Condors
Sometimes it's coming over me feels like a warm rain
Sometimes it's coming back to me like a memory
Just like the heat of endless winters
The cold of midday suns
It's the longest way a man can go
Sometimes it's more than I can take
Last night I spread my wings
Upon two worlds colliding
And somewhere in the monstrous distance
The world, it came down on me
Now I'm soaring on lost latitudes
A navigator with no chart
I looking down on all the colours that
Separate day from night
And all the demons in my head
Still permeate the sleep
I will feast upon the strange desires
Bring me something to keep the night away
And here I am
So close and yet too far away from you lose
And here I stand
Lost in the echoes of goodbyes
And here I am
Still with something left to lose
A world was lost the other day
And I'm choking on the sediments
And all the things that could have been would have been
Are the things that will not let me grow
Drifter through the bitter echoes
And the stillness far and wide
All alone with nameless phantoms
Chasing down a lonely road
Sometimes it's coming over me
Like a warm rain
Sometimes it's coming back to me
Like it's all destiny
And here I am
So close and yet too far away from you
And here I am
Lost in the echoes of goodbyes
4. Unbreakable
All around this fortress
Ran the rivers fo the dead
Broke what seemed to be unbreakable
Unreachable
Drowned what seemed to be inpregnable
Infallible
Cold september rain the summer's retreat
A tapestry wil falling stars
This truth is small and truly trite
There's no such thing like permanence
But loss is like an undertow
Pulling you down pulling you down
Because to me, because to me you were unbreakable
Because to me, because to me you were unbreakable
Because to me because to me you were, you were
Tonight I'm drilling holes
Into the blueprint in my chart
To drain the liquid shades of grey
Than ran like rivers from my monument
To reach the core to breathe again
Find the long lost words
My credo and my curse
"We few, we happy few"
When all the world turns into stone
And everything just stays the same
There's no safe harbour in our sight
All beauty sinks into the night
Still we are
Navigating by the stars
Because to me, because to me you were unbreakable
Because to me, because to me you were unbreakable
Nothing is nothing was nothing ever will be
5. Stigmata
This feeling speaks
With the quiet flutes of fall
That disturb the sleep of sunken images
The memory of voices in abandoned rooms
Walk with me
Walk with me down to the river's edge
Walk with me
Where the secrets lie and wait
These wounds bleed
The solemn pride of mourning
An overwhelming pain nourishing the flame
The cold embrace of breaking hearts
Take this pain away
Don't take this pain away
Take this pain away
Don't take this pain away
Walk with me
Walk with me down to the water's edge
Walk with me
Where the mirrors lie and wait
It's breathing darkly through a lonely man
The kiss of Brother Cain
Walk with me
Walk with me down to the water's edge
Walk with me
Where the secrets lie and wait
This sadness speaks
Of golden plains and lakes of blue
Like the curse of a wrathful god
Like dew dropping from a thorn
It speaks of things in secret tongues
It is speaking out a name
Take this pain away
Don't take this pain away
Take this pain away
Don't take this pain away
Walk with me
Walk with me down to the water's edge
Walk with me
Where the mirrors...
...and the view from here is frightening
6. Blue Wide Open
The sky is blue wide open
A grand vision to sink into
Lonely views to stir the eye
Moments of grace outside of the real
The sea is blue wide open
Completeness all around
One step further and the weight gives way
To all the dreams that are
Riding on the sea spray
Falling from the sky
Riding on the sea spray
Blue wide open sea and sky
Just like an echo of light
Canned in the heart of the stone
A wayward pulse breathing in the stillness
Beneath the snow something's breaking through
All in the wind through the Street of Magellan
Beneath the Southern Cross we sail the wild wild sea
To reach all things out of reach the promise of a name on and ever on
The distant harbour lights of Valparaiso
7. To The Ones Who Have Failed
Somewher ein a city somewhere in a room
A silent man a work undone a plan that went astray
Somewhere in a limelight nof a yearning reverie
Words have lost their meaning on the fragile stage of fame
The sky is starless for the ones who have failed
Going nowhere nowhere to go
Life has no kindness for the ones who have failed
Going somewhere anywhere but home
Sky without stars
Stars without sky
Sky without stars
Stars without sky
Somewhere in a wasteland in a windy rainlway bridge
A desperate girl is looking down on all she'll leave behind
Somewhere in a subway a vacant name an unknown face
Another everyday disgrace in the roundabouts of life
The sky is sttraless for the one who have failed
Going nowhere nowhere to go
Life has no kindless for the ones who have failed
Going somewhere anywhere but home
Sky without stars
Stars without sky
Sky without stars
Stars without sky
The sky is starless for the ones who have failed
Going nowhere nowhere to go
Life has no kindness for the ones who have failed
Going somewhere anywhere but home
8. Lighthouse
And where will we be tomorrow
Of we do not leave today?
The more we wait for things to change
The more they stay the same
And the more they stay the same
We change
With all the floodgates opened
Walls of water at our heels
Where do we go from here?
Where will we turn to?
With all the shouldered load
With all the limitless possibilities
Like birds of passage flying free
Aimlessly soaring
Between the time and space sorrow and joy
Through the night and undergrowth
We set out for the sea
Peering absorbing consuming
And nothing's ever good enough
No river too wide
No ocean too deep
No mountain too high
The myriads of open roads
Wayfarers at the crossroads
There's always more than this never more that this
Eyes elude the landmarks
And the flame is swallowed now
No river too wide
No ocean too deep
No mountain too high
The myriads of open roads
Every river too wide
Every ocean too deep
Every mountain too high
The myriads of open roads
9. Styx
Sunlight is drowning in the half-light
As the feelings return
Strange and familiar a nocturnal fear
Appearing and disappearing
There is a river running deep
And it is floating through the veins
A nameless dread of the unknown
Temporary sight an apprehension
Vague yet saddening
Black angels guiding me
The sum of all my fears
Black angels owning me
Whispering through me
The ties are loosening
Black angels guiding me
Embrace me with their charms
Black angels guiding me
Into the wordless into neverland
All sights and sounds slowly dissolve
No gravity no memory
Far-off stars in the afterglow
A god removes the veil
I'm holding in and I'm holding it out
Until the strangeness disappears
Last night I heard the waters dreaming
Stones were fast asleep along the riverbed
Let the waters wash all over me and let me dream again
Of something good
Let me dream of sheltered places pf precious moments
And of long-lost faces of truthful words that finally do make some sense
Lay out these maps before me
Let the trace again the borderlines of land and sea
Flood the tide pools and wash away the shores
No longer at the mercy of the waves just let me breathe again
Let me stand and bathe in the healing light
And one more time let me navigate by the stars
Roads and rivers and winding in a circle
Around the same old headstrong me
Outside looking in time and time again
Feeling the heat of a recurring dream
Will the view from there be frightening...?
