There are ghosts in my life Sometimes I scream But maybe they’re alive Like the ghosts in my mind There’s a child in my dreams Crying hopelessly But maybe it’s just me Like the child I used to be I was wrong so many times Please forgive me I did not understand That you were by my side I was drifting in my lost soul With my ghosts beside me And you took me away From my lonely pain Shadows are far, far away Now I can say That I’ve finally found you You my only love I forgot too many things Please understand me I could not realize That you were my angel

Sweet Relief 04:55
The wind blows whispers down the street And the rain gently falls Close your eyes and feel the good cold It seems like I’ve been through this before In the labyrinth of this putrid world Sweet miracles, prayers unknown We’re back from the darkest room To celebrate the past Forget the world, forget the people It seems like I’ve been through this before See thousands years passing, open your eyes We are sweet victims to sacrifice What have they done to us? We used to believe in the good old days Now the time has changed We are shut in the garden of our insanity What have they done to us? We used to believe in the good old days Buried in the house of nowhere Sweet fools slaves of television There’s something wrong There’s a feeling inside That can’t be described That cannot be avoided It’s not a question of life It’s an empty despair That turns things to dust Breathtaking for us We’ve travelled for so long To find the answer Without the question of what is best It seems like I’ve been through this before Look for the future inside your soul Sweet dreams, fields of gold What have they done to us? We used to believe in the good old days Now the time has changed We are shut in the garden of our insanity What have they done to us? We used to believe in the good old days Buried in the house of nowhere Sweet fools slaves of television There’s something wrong There’s something wrong We need sweet relief

In Control 03:31
I’ve been in control into my mind I was testing my possibilities I’ve been moved by my hungry heart And I’ve tried to force the time In control I’ve been in control Now I feel free since I’ve broken my chains And I’m so glad I can take a breath I’m feeling pure in my deep soul Now I can love with all my strength I control the time, I control the line, I control the space, I control my mind I want to take my heart and feel my blood, I want to strip you down and feel your soul I’m the king of my world and you’re the queen, I’m the lord of my space and you hear my name I want to take you in my arms and be in control I control the fear, I control the wind, I control the pain, I control my veins I want to take my brain and feel my skills, I want to strip you down and feel your breath I’m the king of my reign and you’re the slave, I’m the prince of this road and you’re my driver I want to kiss you slowly and be in control I’ve been in control into my soul I was trying to be the perfect man I’ve been moved by my holiest thought And I’ve tried to stop my anger In control I’ve been in control Now I feel free since I’ve left my fears And I’m so glad I can take a break I’m feeling pure in my deep heart Now I can love and be the one In Control

You don’t know what I would say to you You don’t imagine where my heart is going to You don’t believe that my hope is broken down Oh, can’t you see? This is not the real me If only I could be free From the strange air that I breath From the fears that I’ve built If only I could be free From the happiness that I’ve lost From the life that I’ve not I don’t know why I’m so scared about the light And even if you’re sharing my darkest hours I see my shadows coming closer But I’m too scared to run and too weak to fight If only you could stay Till the end of the time With your beautiful smile If only you could stay With the tears that you cried Hold me tonight, Just hold me tonight Hold me tonight ‘cause I have no place to run to Let me sigh in your ears when black turns into white When I’m watching the world go by Hold me tonight When I’m watching the world go by Just hold me tonight, hold me tonight

See You Soon 06:26
See you soon you said See you soon and you smiled Just a kiss before you leave Just a word before you die I have learned to hide my soul Never felt so cold Deep in my heart I know There’s still a place above the dark stars Where I’m going to When I’m with you See you soon you said See you soon and you smiled Just a kiss before you leave Just a word before you die I don’t feel so cold now When I think of you I listen to that song So we shall be together and forever And I breathe the rain Of my tears again Again, Again Just a kiss before you leave Just a smile before the tears See you soon and you smiled See you soon and you died Just a word before you leave Just a breath before the rain See you soon and you smiled See you soon and you died See you

The sound of my dimension is the thing I hate the most This is the darkest room where I have to live (where I have to stay) I want to hide my senses, God banish my fears I need to pray for someone, God give me the strength (to choose) When I lose the trust in myself When I fall I’ll remember what is love When I cry with my sour tears When I’ll die I will remember you It’s the time to forgive all the pain that I caused to you When the night recalls me that after all this time my heart still bleeds It’s my way to pretend something more for myself and my little life And you laugh and you spit since you want me to feel like a witch The sound of my dimension is like the grave around myself This is the darkest room where I have to lay I want to kill my future, somebody will do it I have to rush my life, somebody will try (to steal it) The sound of my dimension is like the leash around my neck The sound of my dimension is my worst obsession The sound of my dimension The sound of my dimension

Ghost Town 06:54
8.
The sense of time I dance tonight The sound of rhythm I love the night The smell of dark I feel myself Now it’s time to start The sense of waiting I cross my fingers The sound of power I raise my voice The smell of dark I sense myself Now it’s time to go Everywhere Every time Everyone Dark feelings Everywhere [I go] Every time [I play] Everyone [Could feel] Dark feelings I wanna spend this night I wanna feel my soul I wanna switch off the lights I wanna live Everywhere Every time Everyone Dark feelings Everywhere [I stay] Every time [I think] Everyone [Should be afraid of] Dark feelings Feelings… Feelings come to me Embrace me with your arms Feelings surround me Like a music with its sound Feelings come to me Feelings embrace me
9.
In Love 02:23
Every time I look at you Every time you speak to me Every place where you are and leave Everything you think and hope I feel lucky to have all this Every moment that I kiss your lips For every second that you embrace me This is like my new rebirth So I feel in love, in love with you This is what I love about you: The fullness of your soul Many people cannot believe in God Most people fail to love any person I have no faith But I love, I love you Because you deserve it
