I was down in the dumps, struggling with my thoughts, Sitting on a chair, in front of a wall, When I decided to live my wooden hut, To go out, for a walk. I crossed the forest, to go by the city, I wanted to feel the fresh air of the sea, But first I had to go through the town, Something I didn’t do, for a quite long time. The first step I made over the concrete, I saw a hobo holding on his hat, I looked at my pocket, I had 20 pennies, It’s not enough I thought, I keep it for me. I went forward down the main boulevard, Some people were clung to the glasses’ shop, It reminds me this morning the fly I nearly shot, I opened the window and let it be hot. I smiled to some girls but they all frowned their faces, Maybe they don’t like, my beard or my wellies, It’s not my fault if I only met women, I’m a polite guy, I like to share my smile. I finally reached the sea, when I remembered, The lovers like to spend the sunset together, I was disgusted, and I felt so alone, I went back to my woods, to met … my hut.

Chorus: I was walking down the streams of Hell, Where Love is just, pain and hate, Doubting of my doubts all way long, Trampled by a herd of demons. They were drumming with my iron heart, The rhythms of insanity, And laughing at the scars, life had made to me, So that my lack of trust, buried me more deeply Chorus I was standing nude in the burning mud, Trying to hide myself from these wicked judges, One of them pointed me his finger, But I realized, it was mine, oh it was mine. Chorus Was I the only one, all my life long, Who judged myself, my thoughts, my actions, If the people were just illusions, Know that fact, what would have I done? Oh what would have I done...?

Mama 03:14
Mama, how can I explain to you, Who am I really, what I’d like to do, I guess you know, I’ve often lied, I’m hiding you, things I’m not proud. Chorus: I wish you understand, I grew up with some doubts, Now I’m looking for few means, To answer them, to heal these memories. Mama, the way showed me life, Was not what I was prepared for, You teached me to fear the people’s soul, And I saw the evil in everyone. Chorus I’m not saying I’ve never been loved, I thank you for all you gave to me, But I’ve been too much protected, And now I need to break the shell, Oh oh oh, and now I need to break the shell (x4) ……… Sheeeellllll ! Mama, I don’t blame you, surely I like you, Now I run the globe, to open myself to Love, Don’t aim to reason me, cause I’ll try who I want to be, Trust me, or not, but let me free … Let me free.

I’m gonna tell you a strange story (which happened to me), I was riding my pony and singing hooray, When I looked to the stars, I saw (a huge silver lightning globe), It came down and landed in the forest where I was, In the forest where I was... (x2) I was so excited and so high, I rode in the direction of the light, I heard a female voice in my inner mind, I knew it was the one’s promised. Once I was standing near the spaceship, I saw her floating in the air, She came to me and touched my head, I know we had always been together. I loved her trough the lives, the space and time (trough the dimensions), We laid down and made love with our thoughts (telepathic style), They were stirring up and celebrating (the miracle of the life), We then left in the cosmic eggs (through the mater and the time). (Through the matter and time) I don’t mind what will next happen, now I’m with you … (x4)

Mirage 03:12
I see a hope, right over the skyline, Need to know if it’s just one more mirage, It’s hard to believe, when you’ve been, so deceived, Can’t give my faith, to risk again, to become insane. Too beautiful, too much dreamed, so long desired, Might be a castle made of sand, sure by the sea, Will the waves of life, wash away this, as usually, And let me oh, on the shore of doubts, mad and tired. Is it life, showing me an aim to run to, And tackling me, once again, while I’m there, For the sake of learning how to fall, and how to let go, What a strange teacher would life been so...

Haunted Mind 03:29
Going down the swampy woods behind my town, Walking deep inside these breathing boulevards, Struggling with my feet stuck up in the mud of time, Starring at the shades playing with the twilight. The wet night it now, slowly coming down, My cold chest need some air, but it’s hard to find, When you know you’ll be blown away, by the terror, The one you see sometimes when you face a mirror. I feel now the doubts are just kicking me, And the shades of the night are laughing at my fears, They are melting from the branches and flowing to me, Leaded by little beast, I can feel their greed. Old and known creatures with their scary masks, Holding their instruments, oh I know theirs tasks, The weakest they are the more I try to deal, Fuck I’m down now cause they’ve suck all of my will. Suck all of my will, oh my will, oh my will, They’ve sucked all my will...
7.
Chorus: Lost in the world of matter and time, Can’t figure out where is my mind, Lost in the world of matter and time, Can’t figure out where is my mind. Don’t understand who am I, All I know is I am full of doubts, Is there a way to get out, I feel far from any light. Chorus Attacked by thoughts of confusion, Torn between essence and distractions, Tell me how to listen my emotions, When I’m trampled by questions. Chorus Lost in the world cause it’s in my mind, Lost in what I see through my mind, Lost in what I feel through my mind, Oh lost in this world, who am I ???!

Cascades 03:43
I’ve never crossed your eyes, but I already know how it feels like, I’ve never touched your skin, but I’m already shivering, I’ve never laid myself next to you, but yet I know how I’ll do, I’ve never see your smile, but I know how it will makes me high. I’ll recognize your voice, when you’ll first speak to me, And I’ll notice your fragrance, when you’ll appear around here, I’ll find your shade, even in the shadow of the night, And I’ll know which hand to take, among a thousand one. I don’t only want to love your body, I want also to bless your soul, I want to make you happy simply, to protect your heart from cold, To understand who you are, and to help you to be who you want, To repair yours scars, to soothe your fears of the moment. Cause I already love you, even if I don’t know who are you, I’m just waiting to find you.

Highest Love 04:56
Come with my girl, Take my hand and prepare your mind, We’re gonna walk, To the edge of life. Both we go but only one will rise, This is the entire, Mystery of Love. For this journey travel light, Otherwise surely you’ll cry, Just let yourself go to the stream, It’s fine. Refrain: How two souls can go so high, Without falling down apart, Surely they aim the same sky, And do not stop at the first cloud. I know it’s not just about forms, Nor a beautiful show of light, It goes deeper in the bones, To the core of our minds. Maybe it was all planed, Before we went down here in life, It would make some sense, To walk this path side by side. More than just conditional, I believe in a Love that holds, Both of the people, To rise their souls. Refrain Call me a dreamer, a poet, a liar, I only say what’s true to me, This is how our Love could feel, I hope you do really agree.

Cosmic Joke 03:20
Wandering eyes around myself, People wicked, I’m in my shelf, I want me now, to run back, Because I feel deeply attacked. Reflections of my inner shadows, To people’s mind and behavior, You’re ugly as the things I cannot, Accept in my inner world. Refrain: How far we lose ourselves right here, With these words we just cannot say, What’s to whom and why are we right now, The ones we think we are. Are we locked in our thoughts, In our habits harder than rocks, Cog in the wheel of the mind, Is there something we’re supposed to find? To accept who we appear to be, Or to fight to change, please push me, Outside my zone of comfort, Outside the customs of what’s hurt. Refrain How far we lose ourselves right here, In this world we just cannot say, Why we’re alive, and what’s this kind Of big joke all around. Oh big joke, all around, Big joke all around (x4)
11.
Right now, my mind, is walking on the line, Oscillating between hopes and doubts, And the same scene is just fucking turning around, And I just can’t, I just can’t find out. Under my chest, there was a child, scared to the bones, but still alive, He only wanted some attention, sweet words, and good actions, And now it’s a beast, full of greed, waiting and drooling, and groaning, and moaning, And I face him right now, and I just can’t find out, Refrain: Why I always come here, it’s not my will, I feel forced here, By these forms of feelings, these ways of thinking, here they are the kings, While I’m crawling, Crawling in my inner tears. Memories from the far lands of my past lives, Sleeping in my cells, waiting for my heart to breakdown, Carrying thus burden, all along the pilgrim of life, Hands and feet tied, my knees to the ground. Lost in the mist of the mysteries around us, When there’s nothing to know, but the fact we just don’t know, Give them a thousand doubts, tell them they have the choice, To live the life they want, just say the voice. Refrain You’ll find out, it’s just about time, Everything has a meaning to make you rise, You are the one writing your life, With you choices and the thoughts you have (x2)
12.
It just left like it came, Lightning fire before rain, I began believing in it, After resisting a bit, When finally it appeared, To be only dust, blown by wind. Refrain: This was just one more fucking hope, This was just one more little fucking joke, This was just one more fucking hope, This was just one more little fucking joke. Too beautiful to be true, Now I don’t have no more clue, How to feel when the sun, Rise above us with a gun, Do we have to stay humble, For a hope not to stumble. Refrain Hopes are delusions, As much as doubts and confusion, Tired to run for a better future, But without hope, how to go further? Maybe faith is the answer, faith is the answer, and faith is the answer. Maybe faith is the answer, faith is the answer, oh faith! Faith is the answer (x4) The answer

Facing Void 04:22
Once again we rise, Up to the streams of life, Forth ahead to the sky, Flowing through the stars. Listening to the void’s sound, Standing in front of the womb, The one who see through my eyes, Is the same I see right now, YEAH!

Wanderlove 02:23
Come with me my girl, take my hand, If you only dare to live fully. Bring your pack and say your goodbyes, If you’re not afraid to miss something. Let behind your fears and your old mind, If you feel ready to live with your heart. No more regrets, not even expectations, You can hear the call of the moment. Cause this journey begins now, And it will forever last. Cause this journey begins in the present, And it will forever last in the moment. Across the river and the mountains, Through the forests and the plains, Among the stars and the ocean, Under the shy moon and the bright sun, Around a fire in the mild night, In our arms gently tight. In our arms gently tight (x2)
