No kindness
when there's lack of dignity
politeness
has to join simplicity
no caution
without pure sincerity
compliance
has to join with bravery
No mildness
without some solidity
no power
without simple honesty
no courage
without justice joined within
good nature
and discretion makes a team

Dewy Fields

Go
Go to seek and find
What you're hoping for
Come
The treasure is your
You're running out of time
When morning comes
Your dreams are real
In dewy fields
Your trace is left behind
So very little time
So very little hope
You're longing for someone
While the rain is falling down
Searching, looking, hoping for someone
You're crossing the dewy fields
You're walking in the woods
There's someone catchine up
They're someone watching over you
Keeping secret your precious thing
Your treasure is
Your enemy

Continuum

embrujo, bajo el sol
cuando llueve y sube el calor
mojando la piel
bewitchment under the sun
when it rains and the heat goes up(*)
getting the skin wet
ven aqui, junto a mi
mueve el aire y empuja el aqua
apaga ese rumor
move the air and push the water
come here, beside me
end that rumour(**)
alli no te detienes
giras y siempre te mueves
una maldicion?
y te obliga a bailar
ay ay y no puedes parar
es un ritmo oculto, magico
continuum
there you don't stop
you spin and always move
a curse?
and it forces you to dance
Oh!, Oh!, and you can't stop
it's a hidden, magic rhythm
continually
embrujo, bajo el sol
cuando lleuve y aprieta el calor
mojando mi piel
bewitchment under the sun
when it rains and the heat tightens
getting my skin wet
ven aqui, junto a mi
mueve el aire y empuja el agua
apaga ese rumor
come here, beside me
move the air and push the water
end that rumour
alli no te detienes
corres i siempre te mueves
una maldicion?
mama, ma, mama, mama
ay, ay, y no puedes parar
en un ritmo oculto, magico
continuum
si...
there you don't stop
you run and never stop
a curse?
mama, ma, mama, mama
oh, and you can't stop
it's a hidden, magic rhythm
continually
yes...

* - I.e, it gets hotter.

** - Literally, "turn that rumour off". In spanish "rumor"
can also be the distant sound of a river or rain water.

The Suffering

My grief is deep, my days are dim
Give me a knock on my door
Say that you will be mine
And stay with me forever
As nothing can refresh my soul
I would have been happy to know
Cause I felt so safe when I looked into your eyes
I was mistaken but now I'm sure
I love you still
But silently inside
I know my feelings won't change your mind
So what am I gonna do
I gave away everything to you
I suffer from painful blows
Will it last forever
It's allright, I won't cry
Tears won't help me find the reason
Why you suddenly disappeared out of my sight
I was mistaken, but now I'm sure
I love you still
But silently inside
I know my feelings won't change your mind

The glassmaker

(no lyrics)

Picnic on the Moon

Have I ever told you what I feel?
About what's to come and why we live
Ever since I was a little kid
I've been cautious and I've sealed my lips
But then I found this the book inside a drawer
A girl treasuring thoughts
Here's what I wrote:
That one day, we will fly
Together in a baron's balloon
Straight up into the air
And when er have arrived
We'll take a little picnic on the moon
And watch the earth below
I'm lost again
Needing a friend
Cause I'm so alone
For the last time the sun is rising
I have a feeling
It's time we talk about it
Cause I'm still on my own
I'm so alone

Intravenous

Send me a message
Escort me through the passage
Into the dark side of life
Let me slip into the eternity
I sense a light, a cave so bright
Oh, what a trauma
Release me from this coma
Why won't they let me escape?
Drip, drip, intravenous emergency
And so in vain
The heal the stains and wounds on my body
So torn apart and bloody
I do not wish to return
I don't wanna be one of the crippled ones
Do hear my prayer
Don't fade away
Send me a message
Escort me through the passage
All I need is a sign
Skip over this emergency
Forgive my sins, don't force me in
To live like a phantom
Still, this is nothing random
I'm meant to suffer and wait
But one minute more and it might be too late
So give a sign, I'm losing time

Oyster

The key to your box, it is out of my reach
I've been searching for it so long
If I could live in the open sea
I would surely have found the one
And I'd open the lid
Look in
See stones
Here by the shore, it's so quiet
And no pebbles for miles around
It's getting dark, and I wonder
If I ever will find my love
So please open the lid and bring the stones
'cause the answer must come
from you
alone
See I need some very few of
You blue pebbles
No real love; no aquamarines
Equitime points
Should I stay or go?
Tell me why do you hide inside the deep
With your jewellery box, the stones, the key
In the wave-clutter I can see your hair
Why won't you come near?
Why don't you dare?
See I need some very few of
You blue pebbles
No real love; no aquamarines
Equitime points
Should I stay or go?
I need a truehearted lover
Mermaid, bring me those stones

Birds of passage

Feel the winds on the ridges
the whirls in the meadows
the ice-capped reed announce
that the air is colder
I feel the strength of my heart
quiver inside me
buy I have no cure
for the laughter in your eyes
The wind will carry me away
the wind that would have killed us both
it saves my life
Your wisk I'll keep in mind
and if it won't come true
our dream will dream

A Shoulder to the Wheel

You're conquered and your blood is pounding
in your ears
but you're doing fine
find the broken pieces and then start anew
you make yourself believe that you did
something right
you're denying your only wish
by forgetting your promises
once and for all
and for ever more
if you finally reach your aim
you will never be able to
gain back the time you lost between
you're trying hard to reconstruct your image
and you're doing right
but I think that you will always stay like this
when you put your idle shoulder to the wheel

Time Without End

Hope measuring time without end
you could be just like the sun
beatiful like a dream
innocent like a child
heroic and brave
like the kings and the warriors in the legends
Behold the depths of your innermost soul
a minotaur walking in endless despair
mythical like a dream
invisible like a soft breath of wind
but still in your fantasy
this will all be real
I'll show you who you are
I'll furnish you with a burning desire
