Look 3 No kindness When there's lack of dignity Politeness Has to join simplicity No caution Without pure sincerity Compliance Has to join with bravery Bravery No mildness Without some solidity No power Without simple honesty No courage Without justice joined within Good nature And discretion makes a team Makes a team No mildness Without some solidity No power Without simple honesty No courage Without justice joined within Good nature And discretion makes a team Makes a team 2. Dewy Fields Go Go to seek and find What you're hoping for Come The treasure is yours You're running out of time When morning comes Your dreams are real In dewy fields Your trace is left behind Behind So very little time So very little hope But you're looking for someone While the rain is falling down Looking, seeking You're searching for someone When morning comes Your dreams are real In dewy fields Your trace is left behind Behind Behind So very little time So very little hope But you're looking for someone While the rain is falling down Looking, seeking You're searching for someone You're crossing the dewy fields You're walking in the woods There's someone catching up They're watching over you Keeping secret your precious thing Your treasure is Your enemy 3. 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(*) (* - Literally, "turn that rumour off". In spanish "rumor" can also be the distant sound of a river or rain water.) ]] Alli no te detienes, Giras y siempre te mueves Una maldicion? [[ 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 ]] Y te obliga a bailar Ay ay y no puedes parar Es un ritmo oculto, magico Continuum [[ Bewitchment under the sun When it rains and the heat tightens Getting my skin wet ]] Embrujo, bajo el sol Cuando llueve y aprieta el calor Mojando mi piel Ven aqui (ven aqui) Junto a mi (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 ? [[ There you don't stop You run and never stop A curse? ]] Mama, ma, mama, mama Ay, ay, y no puedes parar En un ritmo oculto, magico Continuum Si... [[ Mama, ma, mama, mama Oh, and you can't stop It's a hidden, magic rhythm Continually Yes... ]] Es un ritmo oculto, magico Continuum Si... Continuum, continuum, continuum... Ritmo oculto, ritmo [[ It's a hidden, magic rhythm Continually Yes... Continually, continually, continually... Hidden, magic rhythm ]] 4. The Suffering My grief is deep, my days are dark 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? But 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 ever change your mind 5. The Glassmaker [[instrumental]] 6. 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 air balloon Straight up into the air And when we 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 7. 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 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 They 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 Don't fade away Send me a message Escort me through the passage All I need is a sign Skip, skip, 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 8. 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 9. Birds of Passage Feel the winds on the ridges See 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 lunger in your eyes So don't ask that question 'Cause I don't know the reason why It must be just like this No don't ask that question Believe me, I don't know why It has to end this way The wind will carry me away The wind that would have killed us both It saves my life Your wish I'll keep in my mind And if it won't come true Our dream will dream I don't know why It must be like this So, please, don't ask that question Cause I don't have the answer I don't know why It has to end this way So, please, don't ask that question I don't know why So don't ask that question 'Cause I don't know why it must be like this So don't ask that question 'Cause I don't know why It has to end this way 10. A Shoulder to the Wheel You're conquered and the blood is pounding in your ears But you're doing, doing, doing, 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 Once and for evermore If you finally reach your aim You will never be able to Gain back the time you lost in between Once and for evermore For evermore You're trying hard to reconstruct your image But you're doing, doing, doing, doing right Yes, I think that you will always stay like this When you put your idle shoulder to the wheel To the wheel To the wheel You're denying your only wish By forgetting your promises Once and for all Once and for evermore If you finally reach your aim You will never be able to Gain back the time, to gain back the time You're denying your only wish By forgetting your promises Once and for all Once and for evermore If you finally reach your aim You will never be able to Gain back the time you lost in between A shoulder to the wheel 11. Time without End Hope measuring time without end You could be just like the sun Beautiful like a dream Innocent, 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 always be real I'll show you who you are I'll furnish you with a burning desire I'll show you who you are I'll furnish you with a burning desire I'll show you who you are I'll furnish you with a burning desire I'll show you who you are I'll furnish you with a burning desire I'll show you who you are I'll furnish you with a burning desire I'll show you who you are I'll furnish you with a burning desire [[eof]]
