Hourglass 04:40
Waiting for our time to come Hiding behind shams Pretending nothing’s wrong when nothing’s right Watching the sand flowing Wondering how long we’ll be waiting I’ll break the hourglass and start to tell you I’ll break the chains that I’ve made mine That nothing’s gonna make me corrupt you But I’m losing control sometimes There are so many things I kept inside Frustration and sadness turned to hate I can’t help blaming you for your mistakes when I feel I am kept aside Time made this feeling intensify The hopes I had came down and down I’m watching the sand flowing and I keep on going round and round Time made this feeling intensify The hopes I had came down and down I’m watching the sand flowing and I keep on going round and round I’ll break the hourglass and start to tell you I’ll break the chains that I’ve made mine That nothing’s gonna make me corrupt you But I’ m losing control sometimes

Un masque blanc une étoffe noire Pour le théâtre des vivants Ils pensent pouvoir ouvrir les yeux Mais il n’y a plus rien à voir Lorsqu’ils bougent ils synchronisent leurs mouvements Ils seront détruits par les soldats du temps Leurs espoirs à contre jour Nos espoirs à contre jour Si tu n’es pas comme eux tu ne pourras pas vivre Certains pensent même qu’on ne peut pas fuir Tu dois choisir tu ne remonteras pas le temps Tu feras partie du théâtre des vivants Leurs espoirs à contre jour Nos espoirs à contre jour

He’s the chosen one the only one How can I call you He never touched the ground How can I call you He made men of clay How can I call you They’re so weak inside... A terrible curse for this he had to accept For a gift that made us shine The sky may burn or fall on us, on us Nothing could repair such a curse Play and try such madness There’s nothing worse than emptiness A terrible curse for this he had to accept For a gift that made us shine He’s the chosen one the only one Play and try such madness He never touched the ground There’s nothing worse than emptiness He made men of clay Play and try such madness They’re so weak inside...

Grey House 04:04
Looking back a few years ago I haven’t really changed my mind The absence made me feel bitter And I’m still left behind You let me out in some way With little place for affection Even if it’s not the case you’d say That’ s how I analysed And all the things I’ve never been able to say Will keep on rotting inside unless I throw them away Looking at the terrible eyes That were looking for help in me Fear and lack of understanding Are still overwhelming me Shame and mercy Shame and mercy My head’s burning I want no compassion at all Please stay away Stay away from me

Vladilen 04:16
Si seulement tu avais su garder en silence Tous tes faibles penchants, tes excès tes démences Mais tu cherches bien plus, mets le cœur à l’ouvrage Pour me perdre à raison, par tes mauvais présages Et pour toi ce tourbillon qui t’appelle Je te vois bouger Entrevois cet orage qui sommeille Je te sens pleurer Tes paroles blessantes dispersées sans remords Mensonge et Rancœur sont devenus tes devises Et pour toi ce tourbillon qui t’appelle Je te vois bouger Entrevois cet orage qui sommeille Je te sens pleurer Un deux trois, tourne, tourne et retourne toi Je te vois changer Entrevois cet orage qui sommeille Je te sens pleurer

Lies 03:59
When I saw your face I guessed something was wrong You couldn’t hide the embarrassment in your grin You got yourself into trouble brother Try to find the answer, I guessed something was on Was it wrong? Lies It’s just lies When you talk I can’t see the sparkles anymore The ancient brightness faded away in your hands What have you done? Talk now I’m waiting Don’t be a coward please, that’s so repulsive Little creature full of remorse come and face the facts Poor wreck it’s time to wake up and bear your choice

Tension 03:29
Can’t sleep at night My blood let me down I fall apart I try to do the best I can But this is not enough again Tension, Under pressure Can’t sleep at night My blood let me down I fall apart When I think I suffocate I try to find another way Hope we’ll find a way to live
9.
This Feeling 03:38
Looking for pleasures and delight That was like an obsession We were kind but blind Smiling at your sarcastic remarks There are bad news today In the place where we used to stay We’ve lost our way Nothing changes we used to say, we used to say But from the truth we turned away All we need is to fly away All we want now is to fly away When even the friends disappoint us And when the lights turn to grey It’s like a veil upon our faces Let’s grab it and see trough our eyes
10.
Decay 03:06
Look at his ugly face When he smiles When his smallest wrinkles Show his vice He’s the kind of plague you’d better stay clear from An anthology of crimes, the embodiement of sin And he says he’s proud, and he says he’s proud , And he says he’s always proud To play this role in his life To play this role in his life and to be Always proud Consider the damage done When he acts Please cover up his eyes When he dies His attractive disguise is nothing but an illusion Decay, Fragments, Rubbles Faces, Rotten faces
11.
Recklessness 04:53
You told us your story but is it right? The things that come from your mouth seem so great even unreal You miss the past the time when you were at the top But your excess of pride will lead you to nothing real. Recklessness of your mind Waiting for new sensations Ready to die for the only glimpse of power. Your eyes are shining when you talk about that Moment of so called fame that made you as you are You’d like to be an undying icon For the people around who don’t see your colours anymore.

The picture of a stranger lies on the floor As the moonlight gently glows She came closer step by step And tried to take the strange object The reflection of the star in her gaze Full of glittering craving A surprising appearance in the sky Made her briskly turn aside As she watched the shiny star She saw the figure of a man Travelling over the moon Suddenly the moon disappeared And everything was dark She seemed to have run for her life Afraid of her strange inhabitant Then she woke up slowly Taken from the enchantment The wanderer put on her
