« Within a period to be estimated by weeks and months rather than by æons,
there has been a fundamental change in the conditions under which life exists,
The end of everything we call life is close at hand and cannot be evaded
It is going clean out of existence, leaving not a wrack behind » H.G. WELLS
A time traveler hikes in the void
He left his life
He left his world
802,701
He felt in love
He found the one
She was a poor small creature
A young female from the future
But he lost her in the battle field
Whatever tried, her death is sealed
And then he cried from out of time
far from his victorian life
A time traveler lost in the night
He lost his faith
He lost the fight
802,701
He was so weak
He killed someone
This lone and poor time argonaut
tried to forget and hit the road
But the only hope to salvation:
to help people as vocation
And then he goes from time to time
to try to help the human kind
But all around, just crimes, just wars
and each time it's getting worse
Frightened by the misery
he came with a theory
whatever the future’s face
he can't save the human race

So many goals in my life
Things I’m waiting for
Let's do it on next tuesday
There’s nothing to stress about
And one day
I learned I just have
three months to live
Hopes and dreams
No more
I still have many things to do
I still have many things to live
can someone tell me Why?
time is due
And I haven’t made
a breakthrough
Why?
I’m lost in my contradictions,
Too many doors to close
No more time, No next tuesday
Not much I can do about
In a few days
How to make my life
was not in vain?
Rage and Fears
deep down
but I had many things to do
but I had many things to live
can someone tell me Why?
time is due
And I haven’t made
a breakthrough
Why? Why? Why?
I'm fading away
but I still have things to say
And Now, my time is due
But I haven’t made
a breakthrough
Why? Why? Why?

All my life,
I felt I was not good enough
I wanted to prove that I could be
as bright as you
But You did it before, you did it better
and whatever I tried
I could see in your eyes
I was no match for you
Now It’s time for me to spread my wings
I want to fly away
Now I am free
Come on and find your place in the world
You cannot hurt me
Anymore …
Yet I know,
You never did mean any harm
But still you wanted everything to be done
in your own way
And you suck at talking, you suck at feeling
and whatever I tried
I could hear in your lies
We've got to separate
Now It’s time for me to spread my wings
I want to fly away
Now I am free
Come on and find your place in the world
You cannot hurt me
Anymore …

I suffered so many years
And I shed so many tears
I Made a lot of huge mistakes
Things of which I am ashamed
But Even if we could
Turn back Time
I'm not sure that I would
Change my past
Life is short no matter what
So try to find your way
Hey Man, I know it's hard
But never mind if it hurts sometimes yeah
Go ahead and don't look backwards
There's no bad time
Back to work, don't be sad
You will slow down during your heaven time
Your dark thoughts are haunting your mind
How to stand up and how to fight?
How to purchase the happiness back,
without falling into a deadly trap?
Why do I fail?
How can I deal
with the fact I can't fulfill my dreams?
And although your scars (will) upset you,
you need to fight until the end
'Cause Even if we could
Turn back Time
I'm not sure that I would
Change my past
Failures are a part of you
So try to live with them
Hey Man, you feel it hurts
But you know life
is so unfair sometimes yeah
Go ahead
and don't fear the past
It's inside you
Find the strength
Don't be shy
you need to fight
until the end
'Cause Even if we could
Turn back Time
I'm not sure that I would
Change my past
Change my past
All the scars from the past years
All the pain and all the tears
There’s no reason to run away
They made the man I am today
'Cause Even if we could
Turn back Time
I'm not sure that I would
Change my past
your Failures are a part of you
So try to live with them
Hey Man, you feel it hurts
But you know life
is so unfair sometimes yeah
Go ahead and don't fear the past
It's inside you
Find the strength
Don't be shy
you need to find your way
find your way
JUST find your way

Sunshine says we have got to
Smile to our friends
Work hard to make more money
And eat in time
Don’t sing more than 3 minutes 35
Have sex before your sleeping
Don’t sleep less than 6 hours 45
Have kids before your fading
And we listen
Moonlight whispers that she knows
You hate them all
Green papers, then whatever
Leave me alone
My best song is 3 hours of silence
Too much I‘m suffocating
Finding something takes 3 days in my mess
I don’t have time for anything
Go Fuck yourself, Go Fuck yourself
Sometimes, inside my mind
I want to smash your perfect smile
Look into my eyes
‘could be a murderer inside
Something is wrong with me
It is a fact I can’t deny
And I fight it, but I love it
One night I dreamed I gave up
And let it out
I don’t care I do what I want
And killed them all
No more stupid people around the world
Ashes and bad memories
Run, hide or cry ‘cause this is my revenge
And now my soul is burning
Blood on my hands
Sometimes, inside my mind
I want to smash your perfect smile
Look into my eyes
‘could be a murderer inside
Something is wrong with me
It is a fact I can’t deny
And I fight it, but I love it
I remember that night when I dreamed I felt
All that fucking filthy blood on my hands
And I stared at these hands for such a long time
And at the end I did not remember
if it was mine or not And at this time
I think I lost the count of the dead bodies
Because in sorrow and rage
all tears taste the same
And the most I think about it, the less I care
Because, you know, fuck the universe
So much blood on my hands...
If you won't love who I am
for the things I did to them
It's not the life that I planned
Oh no, I lost you
I need to wake up
I need I need to wake up
Now
Sometimes, inside my mind
I want to smash your perfect smile
Look into my eyes
‘could be a murderer inside
Something is wrong with me
It is a fact I can’t deny
And I love it, but I fight it

We are all left behind
My world is now collapsing
All the things I like are vanishing
Am I the only one who cares?
Don’t they see that nothing will remain?
I tried So hard
But the good old times
are haunting me
Outsiders
Lost brothers
We are all left behind
Freak Monsters
Lone Riders
United we can survive
‘Cause we can’t decide
Where we go And what it’s all about
We have to stay
In a world with no room for you and I
Brand new fashions come and go,
But within there’s no shine and no glow
Am I the only one to feel
Alienation growing into me?
I tried So hard
But this bloody path shall
not be mine
Outsiders
Lost brothers
We are all left behind
Freak Monsters
Lone Riders
United we can survive
We are at the doors of our damnation
We reach the point of no return
What are we supposed to do
When our future is falling through?
Outsiders
Lost brothers
Don't let them grind you down
Freak Monsters
Lone Riders
Let them hear our hateful cries
Cause they can’t decide
Where we go and what it’s all about
Cause I want to live
In a world with some room for you and I

Le vent souffle sur mes branches
qui ont perdu tout leur feuillage
La brume vient caresser mes hanches
Dans l’ombre, Un homme sans visage
Les heures passent et il ne bouge pas
Immobile, assis dans le froid Et il reste planté, là
Au loin l’orage se lève, et la nuit tombe
Tous les espoirs se fanent dans la pénombre
Sur ma plus vieille branche, immobile, il attend
Les souvenirs se perdent, emportés par le vent
Le vent souffle sur mes branches
Le ciel s’emplit de nuages
La brume vient caresser mes hanches
Un homme prend mon corps en otage
Le teint blême et le regard froid
une corde le relie à moi
mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi
Au loin l’orage se lève, et la nuit tombe
Il ne reste plus rien que des décombres
Perché sur cette branche, bravant le froid
Il se lie pour toujours à moi
Je reconnais enfin l’expression sur ce visage faible et fatigué
ce tourment qui m’a tant de fois fait frémir
Chaque année, lorsque s’installent le froid, la solitude et le silence
Ils ne laissent plus de moi qu’un squelette sombre
Qui hante la colline de son ombre décharnée
Mais Toujours, la chaleur me rappelle à la vie
Ca fait bien longtemps que je suis ici
J’ai creusé la roche, la terre et le temps
et vu tant de fois les ombres fuir face à la lumière
J’aimerais lui hurler qu’il peut survivre malgré l’orage et la nuit
Hélas, mes mots ne sont pour lui qu’un bruissement sourd
et il ne m’entend pas
les hommes et les arbres, ça ne se comprend pas

Another Goodbye
Another Last time
You think you’re used to
But it still kills you
Another heart broke
Another dark cloak
Why did we grow?
Don’t you go
I’ve lost my way
Since you’ve been away
My childhood is gone
No more joy to come
I wish to tell you
How much I love you
Good thoughts will come back
But now they’re ...
I feel myself is drowning
I fall away from you
I wish to keep you with me
I don’t want something new
I see the tears in their eyes
I feel the pain in my heart
‘Cause my grief is real too
I miss you
Just a few words showing my affection
Just a few words and nothing else to do
Just a few words shaping my emotions
Just a few words and nothing else to do
I feel myself is drowning
I fall away from you
I wish to keep you with me
I don’t want something new
I see tears in their eyes
pain in my heart
But my grief is real too
I miss you
We’ve lost our way
Since you’ve been away
Our childhood is gone
No more joy to come
I wish to tell you
How much I love you
Good thoughts will come back
But now they’re Black
Just a few words showing my emotions
Just a few words and nothing else to do
Just a few words shaping my emotions
Just a few words and nothing else to do
