Over Mountains and Seas
04:12
|
|||
Embark on a journey,
life-changing so rare
Over mountains and seas,
with every breath of fresh air
Through forests and streets,
the adventure begins
Discovering new worlds,
as we journey within
The road may be bumpy,
but nothing can compare
To the challenges we faced,
and the memories we shared
Pushing through obstacles,
with strength from within
Overcoming pain and hardships,
Soon my hands explored your skin
As we traverse the forests,
surrounded now by trees
We find peace in nature,
hearing the rustling leaves
The journey's not easy,
but it's worth every climb
As we discover the beauty
that exists in our time
Our hearts now are open,
as we move forward with faith
With every step, our souls are recharged, renewed, and safe
Our journey is infinite, and never-ending it seems
As we travel along,
following our dreams
Over mountains and seas
Through forests and streets
I found love on the way
And my love's here to stay
Feel passion increase
You tighten the leash
Come monsoon or thunder
May my heart never wander
[instrumental]
I was lost in the game of life, seeking for the light
But the more that I searched
The more I lost sight
I took the road less traveled,
to find my true self
And on that journey I found
my soulmate Chels herself
She was the missing puzzle piece,
I never knew existed
She completed me in every way,
that's what true love consists of
She brought colors into my world, made me see things differently
On my journey to find myself,
I found her oh so perfectly
We shared our deepest secrets,
and opened up our hearts
We laughed, we cried, and promised
to never be apart
She understands me like no one else, she's my better half
Finding my soulmate on this journey, was simply fate's craft
Now as I look back,
I see how far I've come
I've found my purpose, and the one I'll love till I'm gone
She's my rock, my muse, my everything
On my journey to find myself,
I finally found my soulmate,
it's her and no one else
Over mountains and seas
Through forests and streets
I found love on the way
And my love's here to stay
From west to south-east
I doubted the least
The love I convey
Has swept me away
[instrumental]
Over mountains and seas
Through forests and streets
I found love on the way
And my love's here to stay
I travelled the world
So I can be with you
Now our love has unfurled
Into something beautiful
Over mountains and seas

The Raven
02:28
|
|||
Verse
Like a raven flying high in the northern hemisphere
We start up our balloons and get into third gear
The sun is setting now as the horizon draws near
Our destination is the final frontier
(closing in)
Chorus
Appearing from the clouds
is an island in the sky
The mystery shrouds
what we couldn't identify
Our hot air balloons
descend in constellation
Upon these island dunes
inhabited by the raven
Bridge
His top hat and his monocle
appear to me implausible
This anthropomorphic animal
truly is quite fashionable
Verse 2
Frantically I rub my eyes to make the raven disappear
But all to my surprise the raven smiles from ear to ear
I try to recollect how we made it way up here
And all the sudden everything becomes crystal clear
Chorus 2
Our hot headed baboons
descended in formation
The apothecary looms
Fumes forming a raven

Spring is Here

Verse
G DM7 FM7 C-F9
In ancient realms of lore and myth,
Where tales of old in springtime drift
Beneath the cherry blossoms' sway,
A divine tale begins to play
From heavens high, a phoenix soars,
Hold on to your hat just because
The sacred wisdom in reference to
Our existence in a vibrant hue
Cherry blossoms paint landscapes fair,
A masterpiece, beyond compare
In fading frost, the phoenix dances,
Rebirth in motion, spring advances
Chorus
G DM7 FM7 C-F9
G Em7 Bm9 Am9
Beneath the bamboo's gentle shade,
A wise sage ponders, thoughts cascade
Spring's wisdom whispers in his ear
Suddenly the words disappear
Rebirth in motion, Spring advances,
Tales of old and ancient dances
Rebirth in motion, forevermore,
Come spring's beauty, we shall adore
In fading frost, the phoenix dances,
Rebirth in motion, spring advances
Petals unfurl, buzzing draws near
Blossoming lotus soon appear
Orient pearl, longing sincere
Haven't you noticed spring is here
Petals unfurl, buzzing draws near
Blossoming lotus soon appear
Beautiful girl, see the water so clear
Haven't you noticed spring is here
Lost in a whirl of flowers up here
Truly for us the best time of the year
Orient girl shedding a tear
Haven't you noticed spring is here

Atop The Chocolate Hills
02:56
|

[Verse]
Feel the first rays of the sun
Gently touching your face
As you wake up
in the back of
the truck
Mama's singing grace
Looks like
the trucks about to
arrive
As it runs out of gas
You wipe the
sleep out of
your eyes
and look through the glass
[Chorus]
instrumental
I see the
Chocolate grass
Atop the
Chocolate hills
Watching
Through the glass
Kids playing
Atop the chocolate hills
[Verse]
Concrete streets covered in sand
And the air
is getting hard to breathe
The nervousness it chokes you up
About this fresh start
in the province here
You instinctively open your phone
Only to remember
that you don't have load
You let out a loud groan
Only summoned
by your frustration
[Chorus]
instrumental
I see the
Chocolate grass
Atop the
Chocolate hills
Watching
Through the glass
Kids playing
Atop the chocolate hills

Verse
Abadd9sus2 Dbadd9 Bbm7 Cm
Fm7 Bbm7 Ebadd9 Cm
The inspiration is gone
The ideas have dried up
Find myself all alone
Empty bottles lined up
Stayed awake until dawn
Loneliness in my cup
My attempt at a yawn
Made me choke and cough blood
Chorus
Eb11 Bbm13 Fm11 Cm11-Fm7
Wake me
From this nightmare
I've been through enough
If this is really my life here
Then please make it stop
[instrumental]
Bridge
Eadd9sus2 B7sus2 G5 Em
All the time that I lost
When I was stuck in my mind
Now it comes at a cost
I left my dreams all behind
And all I know is this fear
That is holding me back
I cling to what I hold dear
Too afraid to attack
Chorus
Eb11 Bbm13 Fm11 Cm11-Fm7
Wake me
From this nightmare
I've been through enough
If this is really my life here
Then please make it stop
Drowning in self pity
The stench of regret
Dear judge
Please acquit me
Give me a merciful death
Switch-Up
Abadd9 Dbadd9 Eadd9 Fm7
No
Don't take the easy way out
If you give up on your dreams now
You'll never know
All it takes is one lucky hit
You'll be sucking at the tit
One taste of real success
And it'll all be worth it
All it takes is one good show
I said you'll never know
You could be one step away
If fate only allows
So don't give up on your dreams
You'll be bursting at the seams
Feel creativity overflow
It overtakes you now
When all it takes is one good show
I said you'll never know
Might be just one step away
From finding your own way, so go!
Chorus
Eb11 Bbm13 Fm11 Cm11-Fm7
Wake me
From this nightmare
I've been through enough
Give me my lucky break here
Yea that's the good stuff
Shake me
Show me you care
I can't do this alone
Just need a little support here
We both have grown
Wake me
From this nightmare
I've been through enough
Give me my lucky break here
Yea that's the good stuff
[instrumental]

Yea that's the good stuff

In this longing, I'll wait,
for the moment I can stay

In Between Time
03:57
|

(Verse 1)
In the vast cosmic tapestry, we reside,
Betwixt the past and towards future, we collide in two
(Chorus)
In between epochs, we find our place,
Culturally adrift, metaphysical grace,
Searching for meaning in this cosmic scene,
In the grand scheme of the universe, we dream
Intermission
(Verse 2)
Cultures clash and blend, traditions collide,
As old ways and new clash side by side,
(Chorus)
In between epochs, we find our place,
Culturally adrift, metaphysical grace,
Searching for meaning in this cosmic scene,
In the grand scheme of the universe, we dream.
(Bridge)
Time's river flows, forever onward it goes,
We wonder where we fit, as it ebbs and it flows,
But let us embrace this transient state,
We're in between time
(Verse 3)
Metaphysical ponderings, our minds explore,
Questioning our purpose, what we're here for,
As stardust in the vastness, we're intertwined,
A cosmic dance, both finite and divine.
(Chorus)
In between epochs, we find our place,
Culturally adrift, metaphysical grace,
Searching for meaning in this cosmic scene,
In the grand scheme of the universe, we dream.
(Outro)
So let us embrace this in-between time,
A chance to weave our stories,
yours and mine,
For though we may only be specks within the grand design,
Our existence holds a beauty, truly sublime.

Footprints in the sandy shore
where true love unfolds once more

Oh, the sunset paints the canvas,

Stuck in Traffic
04:29
|

Once again I find myself here
Overwhelmed by the noise of the crowd
My body is shaking with fear
Anxiety's grip makes my insides scream loud
I'm stuck
In traffic
Stuck in my own mind
Amuck
Pornographic
My thoughts are running wild
Where are we headed this human race
Everyone's watching from their safe place
The raping and killing like a rat race
But now doing nothing is common place
You keep on your blindfold so just in case
Plugs in your ears you're such a disgrace
The bliss from your ignorant pasty face
Wiping it off will be death's embrace
Ohhhh
I'm stuck
In traffic
Stuck in my own mind
Amuck
Pornographic
My thoughts are running wild
Still stuck
In traffic
Stuck and left behind
Oh fuck
Makes me sick
How nobody bats an eye
Of course nothing's gonna change
Without the courage to exchange
Corrupt politicians
All their coalitions
Without real ambitions
Dated old traditions
Put in their positions
Working class physicians
Underpaid musicians
Rainbow coalitions
Help
I'm stuck
Screaming out inside
Compelled
To give up
But I just can't let it slide
I'm stuck
In traffic
Stuck in my own mind
Amuck
Pornographic
My thoughts are running wild
Still stuck
In traffic
Stuck and left behind
Oh fuck
Makes me sick
How nobody bats an eye

my heart's lament
A love eternal,
forever present
And though you're gone,
I'll carry on

Taken from me,
now out of sight
But I'll carry your
memory through the years,
And treasure all the moments
we shared in tears

Verse
Love at first sight
couldn't begin to describe
The first time we locked eyes
You stripped off my disguise
From distant shores,
our paths did collide
Two worlds apart,
but our souls intertwined
Chorus
In the still of the night,
I yearn for your touch
Missing the banter we shared
Just can't be compared no
Through every sunset,
and each rising sun
Life ain't the same
Since the distance begun
Bridge
The memories we shared,
they keep me strong
Sing sweet melodies,
like a heartfelt song
But I'm homesick, my love
I need your embrace
To feel your warmth, your love,
in this distant place
[instrumental]
Chorus
In the still of the night,
I yearn for your touch
Missing the banter we shared
Just can't be compared no
Through every sunset,
and each rising sun
Life ain't the same
Since the distance begun

Unfamiliar Love
04:00
|

Waking in an unfamiliar bed
Asking myself a familiar question
Have I ever felt real love before
Is this my first and my last
Taking in an unfamiliar breath
Is this a familiar obsession
Is she the one I have fallen for
There seems to be a sunny forecast
I've danced in the moonlight, felt the heat
But is this love or just a fleeting beat?
Is she the one who'll make me whole?
Or will she leave me with my empty soul?
I'm hoping for a love that will endure
But I'm scared that I'll end up hurt once more
Will she bring joy or make me cry?
Only time will tell, as the days go by
Unfamiliar love, can you show me how
To mend the broken pieces, to trust in here and now
Unfamiliar love, let's take a leap
Into the unknown deep
Waking in an unfamiliar bed
Asking myself that familiar question
Have I ever felt real love before
Is this my first and my last
Oh god I hope so
Encore
Unfamiliar love, can you show me how
To mend the broken pieces, to trust in here and now
Unfamiliar love, let's take a leap
Into the unknown deep
[instrumental]
Doubts and fears, they whisper in my ear,
But I won't let them hold me back, my dear.
Together, we'll face the stormy tide,
With you by my side, I'll no longer hide.
Unfamiliar love, can you show me how
To mend the broken pieces, to trust in here and now
Unfamiliar love, let's take a leap
Into the unknown deep
Oh I've danced in the moonlight, I've felt the heat
But is this love or just a fleeting beat?
Is she the one who'll make me whole?
Or will she leave me with my empty soul?
