RIVERS BETWEEN US

Where is the world? I saw in your eyes? It lived through the night Then whispered goodbye
The cuts on your skin The red in my eyes
This winter inside Is crushing me now
"I am alone, I am scorn I can't remember to forget you I just weather the storm"
The love that I had It drowned in the tide Stirring the waters Where hearts lay bare
The cuts on your skin The red in your eyes
Enfolding this shame Into despair
Let me take the noose From our necks and carry us home
Still so alive even after your die Transcending with time
We're just two cripples Who fail to belong
Yes we're just two cripples But we need to hold on
From this flesh my spirit longs to break away Did you ever feel this cosmic circumstance was never enough?
Wake me slowly if ever at all Wake me slowly Or watch me fall Watch me fall
The life that I had Is gone with the tide
Watch me fall
Another deception I whisper goodbye
The cuts in my flesh
The red in your eyes
Watch me fall
These demons inside They die with me now

LITTLE DREAMER

Once there was a boy back in time of the heathens

Day after day he just kept dreaming things that would make him weaker

His father could not make him see, that there is more than dreams

But he wouldn't listen to the words of his father, 'cause he's a little dreamer

Along his quest for solitude

A wise man came and told him to follow the stars

He ran to the forest with whirlwinds by his side

He's lost in this world of lies

Take him back where rivers flow upwards

He is the one who lives

under a moonless sky looking for time

Take him back where stars are shining bright

Far in the lands of icetop mountains far on the other side

pictures are appearing so serenely into my mind

Far in the lands of meadows of fire deep in forgotten life

memories are drifting away so silently from light

Along his path of misery

A wise man came and told him to follow... the stars

Little Dreamer...

ABANDONED

Sing for your tears

A song of the hatred

No one can hear

'Cause your life is forgotten

I want to give my life to you

But my will is tied with puppet strings

I am fighting and screaming alone

Inside this empty room

They let you down, threw you in the rain

They let you down, sent you away

The night is dark when you're alone

And sometimes it can be so cruel

The rain keeps falling on me so coldly

'Cause your wishes didn't come true

Nothing seems real anymore

As I dive into the sea of lies

I don't understand this sorrow

That keeps me sane

They let you down, threw you in the rain

They let you down, sent you away

Without a name

The let you down

Nothing seems real anymore

As I dive into the sea of lies

I don't understand this sorrow

That keeps me sane.

THE SOUND OF SILENT

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools," said I, "you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sound of silence"

NASIB KITA

Datang dan pergi
Segala menanti
Menentukan arah
Meragut kerinduan

Hanyalah satu lagi
Sedang bersembunyi
Kenyataan yang tidak dapat dilihat
Ia tidak akan dapat kau lihat

Warnanya serupa
Namun ianya tidak sekata
Sememang banyak bezanya
Itu yang diperlukan
Mengheret ke dasar lautan
Api atau pun syurga

Di dalam tidur yang semakin tak lena
Memisahkan semangat kita yang membara
Bermimpikan indah bila di capai ia tiada
Betapalah sukar menentukannya

Melihat hitam belum tahu di mana lubuknya
Siang dan malam bezanya
Sekali pandang mana tahu di sana ada bencana
Banyak lagi kisahnya

Melihat hitam belum tahu di mana lubuknya
Siang dan malam bezanya
Sekali pandang mana tahu di sana ada bencana
Banyak lagi kisahnya

Melihat hitam belum tahu di mana lubuknya
Siang dan malam bezanya
Sekali pandang mana tahu di sana ada bencana
Banyak lagi kisahnya

Berikan jalan menuju pulau harapan
Berikan jalan menuju pulau harapan oh..
Oh...
Oh...
