Sylvan - When the leaves fall down

All we knew for decades is spoken -

thousand promises have been broken
Rub out leafs of trials -empty lines
Feel that our force is mistaken -
see how our future is shake.
Wipe it off our eyes -
clear our minds

See now what we left behind!

Passively - it wasn’t enough we tried!

Why did we wait though we knew inside?
Did we fail?

Now, we always took it for granted -

start when it already has ended
Pour out lots of wine - crush the ice
Fields, our lands are gutted by fire -
miles of dirt and hatred grow higher
Drink our glass of wine - taste our lies

Not eternal, not for sale, not a gift to throw away -

and when the leaves fall down
Not our places, not our life, not our room we vandalize -
when the leaves fall down
Not self-evident, not due, not a passing rendezvous -
when the leaves fall down
Not a game and not so weak, irreplaceably unique -
when the leaves fall down

Porcupine Tree - Lazarus

As the cheerless towns pass my window
I can see a washed out moon through the fog
And then a voice inside my head, breaks the analogue
And says

"Follow me down to the valley below You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"

I survived against the will of my twisted folk
But in the deafness of my world the silence broke
And said

"Follow me down to the valley below You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"

"My David don't you worry
This cold world is not for you
So rest your head upon me
I have strength to carry you"

(Ghosts of the twenties rising Golden summers just holding you)

"Follow me down to the valley below You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul
Come to us, Lazarus
It's time for you to go"

Prime Circle - Answers

I can't see
You've tied my hands, you've tied my feet
The cracks upon the wall are starting to bleed
Seems the sky
Will fall
Come down upon us all
And I feel like I'm alone,
And I feel like you should know
It all will burn
It all will break
You just don't see what is at stake
All will burn, it all will break
Now i can see it all
Give me some answers please
Give me a way to heed this call
Give me some answers please
Cause I just can't take any longer
Pull my hair
Touch my face
So you don't care
Seems there's so much more to the other side
Seems the sky
Will fall
Come down upon us all
And I feel like I'm alone,
And I feel like you should know
It all will burn
It all will break
You just don't see what is at stake
All will burn, it all will break
Now I can see it all
Give me some answers please
Give me a way to heed this call
Give me some answers please
Cause I just can't take any longer
Give me some answers please
Give me a way to heed this call
Give me some answers please
Cause I can't take this any longer, no
Answer me!
Cause I can't take this any longer, no
Answer me!
Cause I can't take this any longer
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the fall
I'm afraid of the world outside there
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the fall
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
Give me some answers please
Give me a way to heed this call
Give me some answers please
Cause I just can't take any longer
Give me some answers please
Give me a way to heed this call
Give me some answers please
Cause I just can't take any longer
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the fall
I'm afraid of the world outside there
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the fall
I'm afraid of what i might find there

Portal - The Simple Things

Given the lives that have come before us,
Given their years of sacrifice,
And given the feats that have spawned from failures
It's hard to believe the cold device
A system as old as is our nature
A symbol so desperate to hide
Consider the sum of all past efforts
Then suck the heathens dry

Maybe we're just dreaming, or maybe we're just wrong
Or maybe all that's missing is the want

We'll keep fighting to turn the page
It's sad that some things will never change
It's the simple things that'll save us.

Sick of your narrow aspirations
For status, or worse yet status quo
Short of even humble expectations
You're holding their helpless heads below
We've been hoarding the key to life forever
Refusing to share on grounds we're blessed
When family reached out for compassion
We sold them out for less

When the light pushed it's edicts through
And we swore regression ends
Where were your hands

We'll keep fighting to turn the page
Knowing that some things will never change
It's the simple things that'll save us.
How can we hope to win
Against the primal red tape within
It's the simple things that'll save us.
Yeah, the simple things will save us.

The Pineapple Thief - I Build A World

I’d build a world for you (x2)
I’d do it all for you my love
I’d build a world for you

When it’s over you’ll see
What our world was meant to be
All the things that we have done
How could they be undone?

I’d build a world for you (x2)
I’d do it all for you my love
I’d build a world for you

The awful things I’ve done to you
(When it’s over I will show you)
They cannot be undone
(When it’s over you will know)
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/the-pineapple-thief-build-a-world-lyrics.html ]
I’d build a world for you (x2)
I’d do it all for you my love
I’d build a world for you

So build a world for me
(When it’s over I will show you)
(When it’s over you will know)
So build a world for me
(When it’s over I will show you)
(When it’s over you will know)
There’s no precious time to be my love
(When it’s over I will show you)
(When it’s over you will know)
So build a world for me
(When it’s over I will show you)
(When it’s over you will know)

Ultimate Gift

And there you were beside me
In the middle of a crowd
It took so long to find me
While I cried to you out loud

It seemed like forever
I was so alone
I thought I'd never find home

I was stumbling in the darkness
I was living underground
Now I'm standing in the sunlight
Basking in this love I've found

It's the first breath of a baby
It's the warmth of a touch
I'm giving you my vow, I'll say it here and now
Nothing I could do, could mean as much

I savor every moment
I hang on every word
It's rapture just to touch you
The world becomes a blur

I'm a better man with you
Than I was by myself
And when I kiss you
You can tell

It's finding what you're after
It's what is meant to be
When I hear your laughter
And when you look at me

It's like living in a daydream
It's like heaven here on earth
I don't have much to give but long as I shall live
I'd give to you my heart for what it's worth

I was drowning in an ocean
A lost soul set a drift
I was wandering the desert
I was stepping off a cliff

I was hanging by a heart string
I was just about to slip
When you came to my rescue
And gave to me the ultimate gift

It's a feeling of completeness
It's a half that now is whole
Now I see forever
When you look into my soul

It's a truck I've never taken
It's like walking through the clouds
Words cannot describe just how I feel inside
Because of who you are I'm free somehow

It's finding what you're after
It's what is meant to be
When I hear your laughter
And when you look at me

It's like living in a daydream
It's like heaven here on earth
I don't have much to give but long as I shall live
I'd give to you my heart for what it's worth
For what it's worth, for what it's worth
For what it's worth

I can dance with you all night
Make love back and alive
We can walk through the rain
We can [Incomprehensible] pain

Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes

A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy

A walk in the woods and I will try
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs

I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes

A few minutes with me inside my van
Should be so beautiful if we can
I'm feeling something taking over menhalt hier eingeben

Abigail´s Ghost - Sellout

Hey girl, I can see you
For the right price I will be you
Today girl you're a punk rock tart
But if a checkbook talks
You're the state of the art

You sold your soul to be in the spotlight
You sold your soul to be on a scene
You sold your soul to me and it's not right
You sold your soul and it's obscene

Hey girl, make believe you
With your bubblegum eyes and your see-through
Today girl you're the talk of the town
But when the next year comes
you'll be lost in the sound

You sold your soul to be in the spotlight
You sold your soul to be on a scene
You sold your soul to me and it's not right
You sold your soul and it's obscene.

Perfect Circle - Passive

“Dead as dead can be,” my doctor tells me
But I just can’t believe him, never the optimistic one
I’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become…my perfect enemy…

Wake up (why can't you) and face me (come one now),
Don’t play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I’ll (someday I'll) walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
You’re better of this; you’re better off this;
Maybe you’re better off!

Wake up (can't you) and face me (come on now),
Don’t play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I’ll (someday I'll) walk away and say, “You fucking disappoint me!”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me!

Passive aggressive bullshit

Pain Of Salvation - Cribcaged

The only cribs that we should care for
Are the ones that we are here for
The ones belonging to our children
That do that we do, scar from our wounds

The only cribs that make a difference
Where the magic really happens
Don't come with a Mercedes Benz
Or a wide screen showing nothing
Showing nothing...

I'm sick of home control devices
Sick of sickening home designers
Sick of drugs and gold and strip poles
Sick of homies, sick of poses

Despite the nodding staff that serves you
Despite your name on clothes and perfume
Despite the way the press observes you
You're just people... you're just people...

Successful people
Dressed up people
Smiling people
Famous people
Red carpet people
Wealthy people
Important people -
But still just people

So fuck the million dollar kitchen
Fuck the Al Pacino posters
Fuck the drugs, the gold, the strip poles
Fuck the homies, fuck the poses
Fuck the walls they build around them
Fuck the bedroom magic nonsense
I don't want to hear their voices
As long as they vote with their wallets

Fuck the silly "throw you out" joke
Fuck the framed cigar DeNiro smoked
Fuck their lack of originality and personality
Fuck this travesty
Fuck this new norm
Fuck conformity
Fuck their Kristal
Fuck their sordity
Fuck the way they fuck equality
Fuck their freebie gear
Fuck the ones they wear

(you're just people - you're just people...)

Successful people
Dressed up people
Smiling people
Famous people
Red carpet people
Wealthy people
Important people -
But still just people

Messed up people
Shallow people
Stupid people
Plastic people
Meta people
Theta people
Therapyople
Entropyople

Oh, fuck the ones they wear

I'm cribcaged
Cribcaged

The only cribs that we should care for
Are the ones that we are here for
The ones belonging to our children
That do what we do, scar from our wounds

For All We Know - Keep Breathing

Do you feel it too? Please be silent when we run away We'll cross the line Keep breathing

Satellite - Over Horizon

Layers of Grey over horizon

Slipin’ inside windows wide open

digging black holes within your conscience

like slow motioned tears silver and hollow

If you’re sold, if your feeling too old

if you wait, away, too late, couldn’t unfold

All your wishes and dreams,the pain in your heart

Legacy of Romance: to fall, never get up

if you scrumble for love

but you lost all your tracks

I feel, you feel, we feel

we have to fight back

step out from the dark

yes, dive on dive on

into the river of light

Lovers are here waiting for rainbows

Lovers are here waiting for sunshine

Don’t be the fool waiting for nothing

Don’t lose your mind waiting and hoping

Deutsche Übersetzung (ohne Gewähr):

Über dem Horizont

Schichten von Grau jenseits des Horizonts

Schlüpfen in Fenster, die weit offen stehen

(und) graben schwarze Löcher in Dein Bewusstsein

wie verlangsamte Regentropfen, silbern und hohl.

wenn Du für dumm verkauft wurdest, falls Du dich zu alt fühlst

falls Du wartest, fernab, zu spät, Dich nicht entfalten konntest

All Deine Wünsche und Träume, der Schmerz in Deinem Herzen

Gesetzmäßigkeit / Regel der Romanze: zu fallen und niemals wieder aufzustehen

wenn du dich nach Liebe verzehrst

aber du alle Deine Wege verloren hast

Ich fühle, du fühlst, wir fühlen

wir müssen zurückschlagen

tritt heraus aus der Dunkelheit

Ja, tauch ein, tauch ein

In den Fluss des Lichtes

Liebende sind hier und warten auf Regenbogen

Liebende sind hier und warten auf Sonnenschein

Sei nicht der Narr auf Nichts zu warten

Verlier nicht den Verstand wartend und hoffend

That's far too different
Too insignificant,
You know
What are those harmonies?
Progressive?
Useless complexity...

Watch out, I'll come!
Watch out, I'll show you!
Watch out my friend!
I should ignore you!
No frippery!
Please not artistic!
And not profound!
Keep it simplistic!

I'm not sluggish, I'm the God of rubbish
I'm a crap creator, tickled pink gold saver
I am great, God knows it!
Kick it fast, compose shit!
I'm a billion brilliant billboard dream...

Come out and here!
Come out and listen!
My music sells!
So grasp my wisdom!
No symphony!
Just for the money!

Will kiss you, honey!

I'm not sluggish, I'm the God of rubbish
I'm a crap creator, tickled pink gold saver

Interested in success?
Come baby, kiss my ass!
I'm not sluggish, I'm the God of rubbish
I'm a crap creator, tickled pink gold saver
I am great, God knows it!
Kick it fast, compose shit!
I'm a billion brilliant billboard dream...
I'm not sluggish, I'm the God of rubbish

Riverside - New Generation Slave

Into this world
I came
Filled with fear
Crying all the time
I guess my birth
Left a great scar
On my heart and mind

Now I hand-pick cotton
And struggle to sing
"I am happy and I do what I like"
But my voice breaks
And I start to hate
My singing
And simply everyone

Mama told me
Be good
Work hard
And love Mr. God
Every Sunday
I lie
Trying to realize why

Ain't nothing more to say
Your Honor
Don't look at me like that
The truth is
I am a free man
But I can't enjoy my life

***

I came to a standstill
With lies and hopes inside my head
Always seemed too late to turn
And too soon to understand

No, I don’t have a stomach ache
It's just my face...

I got stuck
I ran aground
I got used to spewing bile
I wonder whether all those years
Hadn't been a waste of time

So how am I doing?
Oh, I CAN complain
Smoke too many cigarettes
But I don't care...

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man

He had white horses and ladies by the score
All dressed in satin and waiting by the door

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers, they made up his bed
A gold covered mattress on which he was laid

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars for his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory, the people would sing

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him, his blood ran as he cried
No money could save him, so he laid down and died

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

Vista Chino - Barcelonian

On a distant shore there´s a soul that sits alone
Eyes same color as the sea
Gone are all the pay´s when our hearts were made of stone
All that is has come to be

I am thinking about what you mean to me

Old conspiracy, don´t drink the water anymore
Every road it leads to Rome
Those days of old when we slept upon the floor
And the desert was our home

I´m thinking about what you mean to me
I´m thinking about what you mean to me

And I´ve been around the world and a sea that born the pearl
And I fell in love with dreams voices that only spoke to me
And I´ve been around the world on a seat that born the pearl
And I fell in love with dreams voices that only spoke to me

Martin Orford - Ray Of Hope

Sensing the danger
When different worlds combine
Feeling like strangers, the last of all the line
Taught we were heaven-blessed
I thought we'd be the last ones standing
So who would have ever guessed
We'd be the first to go?

But the ray of hope still shines
That remains through all our lives
A light to lead the blind
Through a world as cold as stone
Down the road that takes us home

Fires are burning and war is on its way
We fear for the future more and more each day
Emotions in overdrive
And many won't be returning
But if we can stay alive
We may just work it out

And a ray of hope still shines
That remains through all our lives
A light to lead the blind
Through a world as cold as stone
Down the road that takes us home

And the ray of hope still shines
That remains through all our lives
A light to lead the blind
Down the road that takes us home
Through a world as cold as stone

Sylvan - Vapour Trail

Vivid memories - did I start to sleep? Watch the clouds drift by ...
Look out and I feel, small and so unreal - I think of me
Sight‘s not clear, I am losing me, I’m begging, please, who can hear me?

Flying to the stars - way down or far up? Feel the time runs out ...
Thinking of the past - if this day‘s my last who‘ll think of me?

In my eyes I fly a long way back in time ...
And I fly in the midst of bluish skies ...

See me as my flight comes to a close
See me when I dared to let it go

In my eyes where the wind provokes my tears of shame
In my eyes where my memories take the fuel away
In my eyes rage the storms that make my landing fail
In my eyes see the shadows of my vapour trail

While I fly see the man that I became
Losing height as the pressure rises again

See me, but I cannot understand
See me when the Choice lay in my hands

Then faces - in a sort of flashback
Hey you faces, don‘t you stare at me!
The faces mumble words ... I lose track
And the faces whisper dazzlingly

The faces - how the hell they‘ve found me?
But the faces know the answer well
The faces - quite a few that I see
What the faces round me try to tell?
All faces - in a kind of weird show
All these faces, I know them personally
But there‘s one face that I really don‘t know
And this lonely hollow face that‘s me!

Now that I flew back here ... and here I cry
All this time felt my emptiness inside

See me as my plane is falling low
See me as the sight begins to grow

Flying from my past - way up and above - leave the time behind
Heading for the stars, for the ones I love - I think of you ...
Do you dream or think of me?
I‘m hoping, please, can you hear me?

Arstidir - Heidin

Köld veröldin veit þér ei af,
varla átt þér samastað
frið engan í andartak gaf,
ekki getur sæst við það

Biðin þig vel getur borið,
býsna langt kjósir þú það
en ríst' á lappir er ljúft kemur vorið
og létt sólskín rennur í hlað

Lífið þér bíður ef leitar þú vel
leiðina greiða reynd' að sjá
veistu það þú verður heimtur úr hel
og hjartað mun lifna við þá

Barcley James Harvest - Child of Universe

Child Of The Universe
Im a child of South Africa
Im a child of Vietnam
Im a child of Northern Ireland
Im a small boy with blood on his hands
Yes Im a child of the universe
Yes Im a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every night
Always there to join in someone elses fight

I didnt ask to be born and I dont ask to die
Im an endless dream, a gene machine
That cannot reason why

Yes Im a child of the universe
Yes Im a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every day
Im the child next door three thousand miles away

Tune - Confused

Urban mazes, labyrinths
Compressed spaces, cavities
Shapeless faces, violent scenes
Mindless workers, fertile queens

Have you ever seen me in this place before?
I guess I lost myself, it's not an illusion
The more I get to know the less I can control
Don't know which way to go, I'm so confused

Crowded places, sedatives
Daily wages, basic needs
Squirrel cages, loony bins
Mindless workers, fertile queens

Have you ever seen me in this place before?
I guess I lost myself, it's not an illusion
The more I get to know the less I can control
Don't know which way to go, I'm so confused

Sylvan - Answer to my Life

When they talk to me - I just shut my ears
When they shout at me - pretend not to hear
And they laugh at me - let they have their say
They're approaching me - and I turn away

At the border of sense - left a wasteland behind
I have built it alone - that's my answer to life
At the limit of strain - found the nature in me
I have put down my bags and I'll stay endlessly

Now my former friend - though you seem confused
Ceased to understand our old speech we used
Once you let me down, should have thought before
Now you fade away - don't exist no more

... this is the answer to life ...

Anathema - The Beginning and the End

Inside this cold heart is a dream
That's locked in a box that I keep
Buried a hundred miles deep
Deep in my soul in a place that's surrounded by aeons of silence

And somewhere inside is the key
To everything I want to feel
But the dark summer dawns of my memory
Are lost in a place that can never be

Can someone please show me the way?
Can someone please help me?
Because I cannot see
The silence is raging!
Silence is raging

Silence, silence
Fade into silence
Silence, silence
Fade into silence

Memory, memory
Inside is the key to
Memory, memory
Inside is the key to memory

Porcupine Tree - Way out of here (7up)

Out at the train tracks I dream of escape
But a song comes onto my iPod
And I realize it's getting late

I can't take the staring and the sympathy
And I don't like the questions,
"How do you feel?"
"How's it going in school?"
"Do you wanna talk about it?"

Way out, way out of here
Fade out,
Fade out, vanish

I'll try to forget you
And I know that I will
In a thousand years
Or maybe a week

I'll burn all your pictures
Cut out your face

The shutters are down and the curtains are closed
And I've covered my tracks
Disposed of the car

And I'll try to forget even your name
And the way that you look when you're sleeping,
And dreaming of this

Way out, way out of here
Fade out,
Fade out, vanish

Creed - With arms wide open

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything

With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

[Guitar Break]

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

I'll show you everything..oh yeah
With arms wide open....wide open
