Cold as a reptile 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Cold as a reptile I’ve been crawling around your den I keep on sneaking once again I’ve been knocking loud at your door Can you give me a little bit more? ‘got to twist me on my knee babe Please child! Please child! ‘got to twist me on my knee babe Cold as a reptile I’ve been searching to enter your bed I keep on sneaking from black to red I had noticed all of your thoughts Can you rock’n roll me babe a little bit more? ‘got to twist me on my knee babe Please child! Please child! ‘got to twist me on my knee babe Cold as a reptile (bis) I ‘ve been whistling behind your window But you don’t hear me anymore I’ve been trying to enter your head Will you miss me once I’ll be dead? ‘got to twist me on my knee babe Please child! Please child! ‘got to twist me on my knee babe Cold as a reptile

The fellows house 03:15
lyrics
buy track
The fellows house In the fellows house, deep back in the land They make fires at night, fish the river at day In the fellows house, people just don't care If it suits you right, if your look is okay Just a shining ray and everything's allright Just a shelter for the rain to warm'em up sometimes In the fellows house, you shall never be late There's no question of time, there's no question of date In the fellows house, every single morning Dance dew's rags of grass when birds and flowers sing When the winter comes frozing on the run They all sing a song flying to the sun Just a shining ray and everything's allright Just a shelter for the rain to warm'em up sometimes In the fellows house, deep back in the land They make fires at night, fish the river at day In the fellows house, people just don't care If it suits you right, if your look is okay

Tortured man 05:45
lyrics

Tortured man If you ever feel neglected when you turned out the light If you ever feel rejected when your lips against mine I give you my apologies Oh babe I’m a tortured man A frozen heart made of broken pieces And I don’t feel no flame inside me So why won’t we be friends instead of we If you ever fall in sorrow, when I walk out the door If you say my love is narrow when I can’t tell for sure I give you my apologies Oh babe I’m a tortured man A frozen heart made of broken pieces And I don’t feel no flame inside me So why won’t we be friends instead of we Along bridges of happiness, we’ll walk hand in hand Just me and my loneliness, road leads to the end I give you my apologies Oh babe I’m a tortured man A frozen heart made of broken pieces And I don’t feel no flame inside me So why won’t we be friends instead of we

Blind rider 04:22
lyrics

Blind rider All began with a call An echoe from nowhere Made him feel like dog For a bone somewhere He put his dusty motor boots on Took a really light bag Kissed a picture of his wife and son Destination black Blind rider,where you goin'? Blind rider,burning long hair Blind rider,riding nowhere Blind rider, freedom calls you Two days missing at the call The guy's still not back The worryin lady called the cops Not a clue, not a track Not a clue, not a track Not a clue, not a track Not a clue, not a track Blind rider,where you goin'? Blind rider,burning long hair Blind rider, will you let your life behind you? Blind rider, freedom chose you All began with a call An echoe from nowhere Made him feel like dog For a bone somewhere He put his dusty motor boots on Took a really light bag Kissed a picture of his wife and son Destination black Blind rider,where you goin'? Blind rider,burning long hair Blind rider,riding nowhere Blind rider, freedom chose you

Just a shadow 05:44
lyrics
buy track
Just a shadow Walking down the streets I'm just a shadow People flee around me They don't want to know An ancient looks at me Through the window Would like to get rid of me I'm a stranger in town In the haze of the croud All traffic lights are red Pale faces around For sure they've got warm beds Modern men on the rythm Pretty girls grab their phones They never take it easy They never say hello And I walk free in the city with my windy lores and fading jean's In my rags I'm ridind breezy But I'm sliding like a shadow Blind walkers around Stoned ice mirrors They've broken the bound Don't see me no, no. I'm just a shadow But that's the price to pay For my freedom Not a single ring From your kingdom, no shiny shadows... I don't have much money And I'm pretty far from home Sometimes life is easy Sometimes your on your own Where are mighty good times Lost in winters cold But at the end of the line I'm never growing old That's why I walk free in the city With my windy lores and fading jean's In my rags I'm riding breezy I'm sailing on some foolish reason, sliding like a shadow.

Mystic fire 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Mystic fire I wish I was a singer, 27 years old, spells in my tone, if only... I wish I was an icon, dead beautifull one, wandering in your soul, if only... I would slide along your legs and my voice would turn you on, In the silence of your bed you could feel me now Sometimes fate can laugh otherwise, irony I want a mystic fire over here 'Cause I can't close my eyes again I want a mystic fire over here So I can close my eyes for you Kill me with my songs, let me carry your load, let me carry your load, even if World is cheating, time is fleeing, chance is flyin' far away I could catch the latest train for the dream that never stops In the blindness of my dance you could see me go Venus drives come enjoy the ride with me! I want a mystic fire over here So I can close my eyes for you So I can close my eyes for you, So I can close my eyes for you, So I can close my eyes...

Learning from the ground 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Learning from the ground Not to be a swallow in the sun Not to rest or breathe on the run Not to fly behind the atmosphere Nothing but to crash down your fears Not to grab a cloud in your baloon Not to see the darkside of the moon Did you see the halos of the saints? Angels let you down on the highway We're getting tired of learning from the ground We're getting tired of learning from the ground Not to ride the breeze across the seas Nothing but to crawl on your knees Did you hear the mermaid and her songs? Angels let you drawn all over the oceans We're getting tired of learning from the ground We're getting tired of learning from the ground Moving too fast we're not We wait and stare at the sky just contemplating Try to reach the top, cut off your roots Out there are pleasures of the roads Out of the range of strange in a million of your steps We're getting tired of learning from the ground We're getting tired, so tired, of learning from the ground But secret's on the way.

Volunteer 12:45
lyrics
buy track
Volunteer Volunteer, once I did They send me down to war On the battlefields and all I volunteered from my hill To gather around the wall Now I see my brothers fall They send me burn out! They gave me ticket to war! Got to run, got to run yeah Now I’m here, what’s that fear? I see some skulls and all Bodies lying on the ground They fired the place at night on company D Few of them cry ‘cause most of them died or disappeared They send me burn out! They gave me ticket to war! Got to run, got to run yeah Once you get there, you can’t hide nowhere You can try to volunteer Once my Mama said Don’t pack that easily Come back, come home to me Singing: “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” Now I try to hold the line Carry colors of the flag Forget victims on the way And cross my fingers every single day But I can’t fight all of your guns And your fires and your bombs And I guess I know, and I guess, and I guess, and I guess, and I guess I know! “Mama, I think it’s time I’m afraid of the dark! Is there a dawn?” Iron eagles through the mist Visions of flying Jesus, crucifix Iron fences, curtains We really messed up the green fields through the lands Oh my..! I am splitting blood! Is this the Hades shore? I’m scared!!!! They send me burn out! They gave me ticket to war! Got to run, got to run yeah Volunteer, once I did They send me down to war On the battlefields and all I volunteered from my hill To gather around the wall Goodbye people now I’m going.
