THE CHILD OF A SILENT WINTER

Every morning I walk a familiar path
Getting lost, the snow always covers my trail.
Every night I arrive to my doorstep,
With the little match girl I warm my hand.

The ocean is now without a shore,
The child of silent winter wanders on.
Only the rain of the earth follows
When he disappears into the silence.

You were child of the first snow in me,
Too beautiful to share my world.
I lived my sorrow, made it my beloved:
A warm memory in my dream in the heart of the night.

The ocean is now without a shore,
The child of silent winter wanders on.
Only the rain of the earth follows
When he disappears into the silence.

With someone else's mouth I sing my songs,
My everything I carry to the grave of the cradles.
I melt the coldness, guard myself and await.

I wish I could someday wake up to something else
Than to the shame pierced by a mirror.
God's creation without a cover.
The unfrozen earth awaits the drowning child.

The ocean is now without a shore,
The child of silent winter wanders on.
Only the rain of the earth follows
When he disappears into the silence.

The ocean is now without a shore,
The child of silent winter wanders on.

The search for my heaven ended with gold and tears.

FROM WISHES TO ETERNITY

So many words go unspoken,
As we linger here in the dark.
My words seem to slip away,
As you tenderly wrap me in your embrace.

Still I wish I could find a way to say
I never thought dreams could come true
Yet you showed me that they do,
When you came into my life.

You set my soul free
From the moment I saw your face
These feelings washed over me
Like a tidal wave against the jagged shore

Tell me you feel the same.
Tell me there is nowhere else you would rather be.
Tell me this is the moment
Because you always wanted to be free

You’re so close and yet so far
Trying to find a way to let you know
How wonderful life is here
So silently it just takes me through

It's been six days so far
I had my eyes closed before that..
When I opened them I found
Two arms to hold me,
A smile to call my own

IT WILL ALWAYS BE YOU

If losing you would even hurt more
I would rather cease to exist
But you've awakened something in me
From which I thought it had died
But the reason you're not able to see
Is because it lies too deep inside

 Even when I scream or shout
you can still hear my heart beat
For it only beats for you, so loud
and your name is all it can read

Cuz love only comes,
once in awhile...
knocks on your door,
and throws you a smile...
it takes every breathe,
leaves every scar...
it speaks to your soul,
and sings to your heart...

But that is a dream, something so pure
Trust me it's just me for sure

 For if you cry,I will wipe your tears
To see you smile , I will walk a thousand miles
I've never seen you
I've never met you
But maybe this is the way that
I just wanna say...
It will always be you

TIME LOST

I was wasting a lifetime,
Trying to find love,
Nothing happens,
No hope, no girl.
Suddenly I see her,
But ten years before,
I can’t do anything,
Used to be friends, nothing more.
Now I realized affection
Can go no further,
I Lost a lifetime,
And lost desire.
I try to forget
But I can’t,
I try to die
But I don’t.
My mind is suddenly gone,
No end is near,
There's nothing to do now,
But go on.....

Used To The Pain

And so I wrote this song for you
I think I know just what you're going through
Did you believe you'd never change
Nothing ever stays the same

I know it's hard holding on
Even harder trying to let it go
And so you're frozen like a stone
But you are not alone

Every step I take
I get a little less afraid
Of giving into love
Love, let it out
Believe me when I say
It gets better every day
Once you get used to the pain

What you hide inside I see
There's a scar that's always gonna be
There's a past in everyone
You can't undo, you can't outrun

CEASE TO EXIST

My tears can water the flowers
more than raindrops from the sky
This sad look Ive had for hours
would almost make the devil cry

I'm trying to hold fast something
but my hands are too slippery
Love has taught me one thing:
it can bring more misery

My feelings are in a world war
but I'm guilty of making you pissed
If losing you would even hurt more
I would rather cease to exist

You've awakened something in me
from which I thought it had died
But the reason you're not able to see
is because it lies too deep inside

Everything I see around me
gets overshadowed by your face
Wherever my body may be
my minds always in one place

Sounds surround me all the time
but your voice is all I hear
My life's not even worth a dime
but there's only one thing I fear

Even when I scream or shout
you can still hear my heart beat
For it only beats for you, so loud
and your name is all it can read

Sorry for the pain I caused you
I don't know how to make it right
But if it means I lost you
my life will no longer have light

Please let me get back in your heart
if there's still room left for me
Because your heart is still a part
of what I always want to be..

SILENT LOVE

Silent words across a screen.
How could they mean so much to me.
I promised myself I would not cry.
Then a silent tear falls from my eye.

What did I do, what did I say,
To make you change your mind, the day you went away.
Everyday, waiting for a sign
To let me know, you might still want to be mine.

Another day comes and goes,
I want to write, but I can't, I know.
You said you needed me more than I needed you,
Why would you say that, if you knew it wasn't true?

Why did you say you loved me?
Then turn around and set me free?
I love you and want you,

A BROKEN HEART

City life in a park....sunset
Love and pain go hand in hand, you bet
The guitar smells the dusk and it sings
But fades away into a silent scream

We reach out our hands
To the emptiness around us
Life has no feelings, no emotions
Just goes on the way it has to

To carry on with no strings attached
For the times that life seems so grey
Guess there’s no looking back
Just a broken heart that keeps beating away

Dark sides of desolation
Strains of eternity fill up the emptiness
I lie on my bed, screaming in my head
Pain forever with me, ever leaving me dead

LIFE BENEATH YOUR FEET

I wander through this land of broken promises
Wondering what life has made,
My colourless existence, its just black and grey,
Reflects the person I am today.

I feel so cold so lonely,
So battered and bruised,
I feel so insecure right now,
Tortured and confused.

Two arms to hold me,
A smile to call my own,
Dark eyes that adore me,
Yet I lie here all alone.

I almost hear you breathing,
My life beneath your feet,
I always feel you near,
Sometimes it’s almost that you’re here.

DUST OF CONSCIENCE

I see the light though it keeps fading away
I feel my tears for you so far away
Pain never ends,
And you smile 'coz you have to

The world is cruel,
Man kills Man, hand in hand
The fall of the Left Hand Path
Takes me one step closer

Tears swell up to a misty morning,
And I am face down in loneliness
Can I break free from this mess?
For all I wanted is happiness..

Is this self destruction?
Is it a fate of deceit?
Are we concealing our feelings?
Or are we just dust at someone else's feet?

We carry the Cross on our shoulders,
Just a piece of iron, is it?
Save yourself, set yourself free..
Leave behind what you have coz its not the Cross
But its your life you need to carry

All my feelings, my tears turn into a rage
Break me, scream into silence
Help me, just keep on fighting...
Hide me, don't run away from reality.

These empty dreams, your words keep screaming
These walls within which I'll breathe my last
These hands that touched me, for all they hurt me
These feet, they make me stand tall, no one around me......

JUST MY CONSCIENCE............

FOR AN ANGEL
 (VERSE1)

The times we had, Dad,
Wasn't nearly enough
To pack in an entire
Lifetime of love.

There are so many questions
That I need the answers to,
But now that you're gone 
There's no way to ask for you.


(CHORUS)

But still there are photos
To remember you by,
Each time I look at them,
And I swear there were moments,  
I will cherish forever, but
Tonight I still want to cry.

(VERSE2)
They say grief is easier
to bear as time goes by,
But that doesn't stop me
from wondering why?

There are no answers
To a question like this,
So I'll cherish our memories
And mourn the years we'll miss…

(VOICE OVER)
You've gone ahead of us Dad,
It's hard to say goodbye,
And in our grief and sorrow,
We are tempted to ask "why?"

But you have found
That peace and joy
This world never really gives,
And in God's heavenly home,
It's you, who truly lies.


(CHORUS)

But still there are photos
To remember you by,
Each time I look at them,
And I swear there were moments,  
I will cherish forever, but
Tonight I still want to cry.
