“Icaro”
The black sea
Beneath him crawls
He cannot see
Dungeon walls
Feeling it in his bones
But he went for the stones
Unmeasurable ties
He saw the deeper truths
But he was scared to loose
The love that never dies
“Icaro”
The black sun
Is pushing away
Whisper tyrants
From his way
The ghosts underneath
Tormenting him for years
(Hiding wonder with lies)
Cracking up the walls
The floor beneath him falls
In the straight of the light

Nem sempre ha sentido
Norte ou sul tanto faz
A cantiga nos guia
Se licença lhe daz
O fogo assobiando
Umas notas a tocar
O vigor da chama
Reclamando seu lugar
Nao olhas para mim
Para tentar roubar
O sentimento puro
Toda alma quer alcançar
Desenredar as linhas desafinando a nossa voz
Ornamentar o fado que ha em nos
Momento de silencio
Para me ouvir chorar
Com sinceridade
Deixo me lovar
Uma historia que se canta para salvar
A força dessa brasa que está a se afogar
Nao olhas para mim
Para tentar roubar
O sentimento puro
Toda alma quer alcançar
Desenredar as linhas desafinando a nossa voz
Ornamentar o fado que ha em nos

Inspiration

I had to go all this way to find you
There’s just so much we can take
There’s just so much we can learn
The mark that holds on to my words
Waiting for its mold
And sometimes he steps with his big eyes and smiles
hide oh little girl hide
And they absorb you sometimes in their hell in their minds
Until they become yours
So blinded, oh so smart
Mistakes to make
Souls and hearts to break
There’s so much at stake
—
But inspiration never dies !
Waiting, awaiting Forgetting, almost forgiven
Blurry my will, my vision, my dreams So subtle
But inspiration never dies
Inspiration will never die
“Icaro"

My Darkest Creature
04:11
|
|||
|
In my soul you built your empire
Feeding off my muted rage
Hiding behind the darkest creature
You wouldn’t show me your true face
Tied by the subtle weavings of life
I swing the sword to cut the cord
But you wouldn’t leave my side
And you would not share a word
My tears drop inside my heart
Cleaning the heavy metal you sow
Now you lift your scary mask
And I look into the void once more

Ease your mind

So young and confused
Looking for the way to go
All the way to the stars
And he brags and he smokes
like he’s seen it all
All innocent, weren’t we all?
But the light shines on him
So try oh baby try
Time needs time
To bring you back your love
Now don’t leave it there just give it all a chance
Even when a whole lot goes down
Cause the stars shine on him
So fly oh baby fly
And feel deep inside
To love it all again
You’ll live your life
In so many different ways
Look them right in the eye
Cause your here to stay
Don’t choose a place
You need a smile
As a disguise
Cause the stars shine on you
So try oh baby to fly
Time oh needs time
To love it all again

Leap of Faith
04:09
|
|||
|
Staring at frozen skies
Without ever asking why
The fall rows above the air
Hear the call of despair
They say come what may
We will chance on our own way
They say we‘re free to do as we may
Just take a leap of faith
In the middle of the night
When the stones on the ground start to cry
When the earth begins to shake
I can feel my heart break
But I will stand tall
I will stand tall
They say come what may
We will chance on our own way
They say we re free to do as we may
Just take a leap of faith

Balanced Darkness
04:05
|
|||
|
I gather my thoughts in this place where the feelings aren’t dead
Feeling the giants fall, getting dragged along towards the edge
Bring peace to your violence with less defiance, saving what is left
Stranded on this island can you hear the sirens calling you away
Step into the silence, innocence claims the right to speak
We all wanna play but we rather hide than seek
They’re calling
And I surrender
We’re being called away away To see the splendour
Oh beautiful twilight hear me speak
Guide me through the night living in the lining of my skin
