I make a web away from you To see your face in a different way While the stars are driving me mad Shining bright I need to howl like an Irish pack The hunter says that we got it made Go stag you must hide in your cave Near the sun Try to see me from behind Please tell me who I am Seed inside my lightened dreams I know the sun is in Cold and Grey I want to explore this labyrinth To suck your head 'till there's nothing in 'Cause your eyes are bluer and fool Than the sky Camel call will stamp my pool We'll get in touch with the camel zoo I need to drink your milk at your breast Don't try to forget this place 'cause you Know the sun will shine for you Cold and Grey

They were born in a distant place belonging to an early time. Those people pleased with all their lives did not know what awaited them. Things were never the same. One day a stranger appeared from nowhere along with other fellow men. They brought with them noisy weapons and all those iron creatures. Things were not quite the same as they were. Oh, poor fine people! Along with those pale and blonde people, soon problems would come up. Their gentle words became strict laws, and that cross symbol a new faith. Their world fell apart, as their minds shook up. Oh, poor fine people! They're coming from sparkling lands where creatures are cuddled by a golden Sun. The Earth gave them all they needed, the Moon a divine flame to dream of. Children of Mother Nature cried when they were stripped of everything. But their spirits couldn't be touched by the hand of the White Man. It doesn't matter what they concocted. Oh, poor fine people! They're coming from sparkling lands where creatures are cuddled by a golden Sun. The Earth gave them all they needed, the Moon a divine flame to dream of. Their lives are only drops of water that flow away riding a river. Their hearts are feeling free again, at last could mingle with the Ocean.

Riding on a silvered star I want to fly across the universe I want to explore with my naked soul Every planet with every tiny moon, leaving soon Ooooh, out of the Earth It ́s good to feel universal spell Ooooh, looking for change We ́re meditating for a common world. Uuuuuummm, I ́m overjoyed Aauuuuuuumm, I ́ll find the One hidden behind the mask I wish I could fly and kiss the sky As charming sparrows madly in love with spring I wish I could sing for the brand new day As smitten blackbirds waiting for the sun, let it shine Ooooh, out of the Earth It ́s good to feel universal spell Ooooh, looking for change We ́re meditating for a common world. My mind is a spring flowing lovely thoughts My lips are rocks waiting for God’s dew I’m by myself when I’m all alone Sweet feelings , I’m giving love away Breathing, sweating, inhaling life I’m Odysseus heading for the sea, joyfully Ooooh, out of the Earth It ́s good to feel universal spell Ooooh, looking for change We ́re meditating for a common world. Uuuuuummm, I ́m overjoyed Aauuuuuuumm, I ́ll find the One hidden behind the mask.

Dumb Tongues 07:02
Now see my face I'm just a man Don't you know we're getting brighter? Don't you know we're getting brighter again? I say hello And then you shock I can't stand this bad stuff, babe I can't stand this bad stuff anymore Try to look around put your face down to the ground I'm going away Won't you see my trace? Frozen eyes are in the sky Persecuting every night Tongues are moving on again Looking for a pleasant cake You go up and I go down Like beetles in the yellow sand. Universe is in your head Round and round and round my brain. Home is just a word I've never known Wake me up before you play this Gong. Don't you worry friend Deaf and dumb is just the same Use your mouth to smoke Then one day you'll talk Frozen eyes are in the sky Persecuting every night Tongues are moving on again Looking for a pleasant cake You go up and I go down Like beetles in the yellow sand Universe is in your head Round and round and round my brain Home is just a word I've never known Wake me up before you play this Gong.

Every day brings something new, the sunlight that brightens my life and a smile that makes me laugh at all times. When I look up at the sky and I'm touched by new fresh air. I feel quite blessed with the presents of the Earth. Day after day, I collect a new experience, and emotions that remind me of your love. Feelings that fed me at the time I needed them. Every moment by your side I just feel high. Rainbows spring to life each time you start to smile. Music surrounds your lips and our silence is shattered by a kiss.

Thousands of my old memories make up my dreams. Strange as they may seem, you find me in each. What a strange feeling! I want to keep dreaming. Two stiff and talking earwigs set eyes on me. I wonder what they're thinking about my quirk. That sounds amazing! I can't believe it. I can't help hearing voices from nowhere land, and flutes that play magical tunes. I can't help seeing orchids moving around, as frightened children ride big shells. Everytime I fall completely asleep, I make a flight with an eagle who wants to see golden countrysides. What a grand flight! I don't want to land. Despite of all these wonders, I can not smile. I feel a void growing inside. No matter how high your wings can fly in the sky. I'll follow you until the sun. Another day, another weekend, I'm missing your love. Another year, another season, I'm missing your love.

Too many blows, Too many sudden shocks, Losses and sorrow. When I was down, You took advantage of it To kick my soul. Sick of your jokes, Tired of your giggle. GO TO HELL! Fed up with lies, Used to your whim. RANK SMELL! Stop telling me: “Every man for himself. What a cocksucker!” Free from your tricks, You’ll never shake my will. SON OF A BITCH! Sick of your jokes, Tired of your giggle. GO TO HELL! Fed up with lies, Used to your whim. RANK SMELL! Although you insist, I will never follow Your damn path. Keep all your straws! Look for another Camel's back Without any doubt, You have made me stronger. All your dirty tricks made me grow up. You’re truly wrong if you think All my generation Missed its only big chance Dreaming of a better life. Life hardens the soft And relents the harsh. Time turns fierce todays Into tame yesterdays. While your world dries up And grows into a desert, Our dreams come true Ready to create New marvellous Edens. You will not bribe me, Keep off my lands!

She's such an elder woman who struggled to survive. She lost the track of time, and left her life behind. Why would she want to look at herself in a worn looking glass? It doesn't matter who she can see clearly in it. Her eyes are the window to her soul, a spirit that was slowly drowned by a black hole. In a perpetual fuzzy fog the elder wonders who's beyond. The meaning of the words of those she’s ever loved got lost along the way to nowhere. No one can bridge the gap between her present and her past. But she seems not to mind she can no longer say what's true or what's a lie in her life. Her eyes are the window to her soul, a spirit that was slowly drowned by a black hole.

Remembrance 03:47
In my life I have come across stones and flowers. All of them Were shared with all my adventure mates. Everytime I ran into problems you rescued me. When I joked, You would always keep up by my side. If they failed Or were wrong, I did never put the blame on my friends. Good ol’ times Make me feel as if years hadn’t passed. Other times I can not help but shed any tears. If you cry, If you’re down, You can always count on my support. Every street and every corner Has its own stories. Words of love cried out from the rooftops So brief as youth. Let’s share our joys and sorrows As we write a song. Pain and glory go together In a single chord.
