Why should I care why should I ever care
In the face of our love there'll be a night to spare
And in the morning we weep for the day to come
Glide back into slumber and wait for a dream
Why should I care
Years in the making
Willfully faking
Painfully fearing the dawn
And there is a sun and there'll be a day
Why should I care
Dreaming on the run fading on the way
Why should I care
Why should I care

Western Pride

This is me dreaming of another way
Every day
This is me speeding my hopes on their way
But not today
It takes a flash and a miracle and there will be me
Here is the day
Eyes and faces on our way to Arabia
Cries on places I'm gonna wait for my saviour
Why do we fade away with our eyes set on things to come
Why don't we make the day
With our instincts ahead and our hands on another world
This is gonna be just a shortcut on the way
Here we gonna dream off the edges
And if we miss it then why don't we kiss it
It's a tale of a country that is ready to burn
And a tale of western pride being likely to turn
On a square in a city where we never shall meet
It's a little Because a bitter Because
Eyes and faces on our way to Arabia
Cries on places we waited long for a saviour
There is another way I got a better way
And all we are is but a metaphor for everything we're not and wished for
Signs on our way we may feel everlasting
And we won't stay
Western Pride who's gonna lose his western pride
Western Pride do you believe in western pride

Tahrir Square
04:06
|
|

The moment we woke up together revolution took place
Our hotel room of last night fell victim to the flames
And we won't turn around while our things are burning
Your credit card and car keys and my former life
We're following wild horses to the centre of the town
This is the right time to step out of line
For we'll be shaking hands with the brave
And who are we to change the way things go
As we go down to Tahrir Square
Let's go down to Tahrir Square
There must be blue heaven bhind the smog and the jetfighters in the sky
And if there's no tomorrow this could be our last chance to die
My last good shirt a white flag in the hands of the unconvincables
Wild horses and camels
And the old man has got to go
For something new must rise
And who are we to stop the course of time
We'll be shaking hands with the brave
Policemen shooting above our heads
But there's no other way to go
As we kiss on Tahrir Square
As we fall on Tahrir Square
And I don't want to wake up
But revolution has to take place
And who am I to stop the course of time
I don't want to wake up now

Masquerade
03:52
|
|
||
|
How can we stand to play a part in this masquerade
Climb over the wall and be ashamed of it all
Hiding in the shade nauseated with no concern
Listen to a heart while drifting slowly apart
And when we talk about it it's just the other way
We gonna miss the point here any day
Sometimes we feel and see it it's just a breath away
We're growing strangers to it anyway
And when we touch it's a form of apology
Take it for love not a moment to miss
And as we're moving closier it takes another day
We could be losing ourselves anyway
Looking at morning papers utterly put to shame
Nothing will ever matter anyway
It's just a masquerade

Land Ahoy
04:05
|
|
||

This is the day to shout „Anchor Away“
And hoist the sails to find a place in uncertainty
Full speed ahead clear the port don't look back
There's now an endless sea to be your home for a while
And with my fears tied to the mast I'll hear the siren's song at last
It takes a leap in the dark you say
And so to hell with the contract
As we're expecting all the time to leave
Look out in the distance there are plenty of new worlds
Ist it me dreaming is it the other side of love
For in the distance she'll be near and when she touches things are clear
It takes a fleeting embrace she says
Land Ahoy
Watch out the distance there are plenty of new worlds
Are we just dreamers are we but dust
Is it the other side of lust

The Serpent Returns
03:58
|
|
||
|
I'm gonna reach out again in the dark for somebody to understand
The nagging notions that burn and tease and the devil took my hand
And said Please
For this life is a mystery full of things that you are and don't want to be
In death-like hope for the other day and the devil smiled
And said to me Yeah anyway
And in the shade of a tree and a mirror moving in circles
The Serpent returns
We are lost in a moment of hesitation every time that we dream of it
We are sucked into spirals of contemplation every time that we wait for it
All of our instincts are longing for Eden
Aftertaste of pulp on our tongues
And in the distance a tree by the river
Rosy cheeked apples and snakes in the grass
We are lost in a moment of hesitation every time that we dream of it
We are sucked into spirals of contemplation every time that we wait for it

Imago
02:52
|
|
||
|
All the time the image grows bit by bit the picture shows
For a long time there's nothing to see
We neglect the image and feel free
To silently spy from the wings but there's always uncertainty
And when pain takes over I see it all too clear
I neglect the image but the picture just grows
I won't see the image but the picture just grows

The Other Side
04:51
|
|

|
Can't you see I'm stepping out of lline
Why don't we wait for another time
It's a part of the masquerade It's a little too late
So let's turn it over look at the other side and scream
Come on we turn it over again and never mention our dream
Still the line between fear and emotion keeps us from looking the other way
So come on let's make it happen but just another day another time
And as we walk the line we take the path to the right
Turning our heads avoiding the other side
So why don't we just try and make it all
Turn over and look at the other side
The only things that matter are the things that we hide
There's a place between fear and emotion for certain other things to be
So come on let's make it it happen
This is the other time the other side you see

Monday Mourn

Step down get a little closer let's shake hands on another day
Don't talk put your head on my shoulder
Catch my breath and lead my mind astray
Epiphany is not due on a good friday
I hold up my passion til monday morn
Give me a taste of your bitter flesh
Last supper is in vain on a weekend
I'll empty my cup on a monday morn

Plan AB
03:43
|
|

|
Here's the time of talking
Here's the others drowning in a tidal wave of insignificance
Here's a little closer
Here's the manacles we're forging for ourselves never to let go again
Why don't we submit to change trying to go astray
It's an old impassioned game of a hand shielding the flame
As we slowly lose our way under the surface
And when the day begins there's a sadness that we share
Are we just passers-by like all the others that we met and left
I won't ask for nothing more than the clocks to quit their way
And wait

My Golden Age
04:32
|
|
||
|
It's a day like other days and a thousand days to come
Sucking in the energy and faith and the dreams lost on the run
And in the hiss of passing trains and every howl of distant cars
There's a short remembrance of things to miss and a taste of other ways
There is another way rush rush rush gonna take a little push
Solemnly take my golden age
Smash it up in smiling rage
Tenderly take my crown of thorns
Tear it up now just because
And the mornings break in a wild stampede
Everyone gets a share of the pain
Look ahead and wait for a certain day
well it's about time now anyway
And then we sleep for fear of daydreams may return and haunt our ways
Bit by bit we see this isn't what it's ought to be
Watch out never speak there are many secrets underneath
It's a time for a fleeting embrace you see
It's a kind of a kind of mystery
And it's gomnna be the place we ought to be
Solemnly take my golden age
Smash it up in smiling rage
Tenderly take my crown of thorns
Tear it up now just because
This is the day I'm on my way tearing my halo of gold
Die on the run fate here I come
This is not what we've been told

World in 5

I'll dream about it any time to find a place in all the time
Whenever there is hope there is a dream
There's still some life ahead of me and certain distant things I'll never be
But every time I touch it's falling down
It's the eye that looks back inside
It's the essence we try to hide
It's the love for a new uncertainty
Want the long way to step through the mirror
Want the time to fall and dream
Images passing time wandering thoughts never die
Memories never told long abused and cold
I'll dream about it more than you will ever see
It's getting strange and silently comes over me
And every time we sway we're going down
What's the point in getting straight
Life is a dream and we are anyway I see it now
And everything we miss is still around
It's the eye that looks back inside
It's the essence we try to hide
It's the love for a new uncertainty
Want the long way to step through the mirror
Want the time to fall and dream
Images passing time wandering thoughts never die
Memories never told long abused and cold

Quo Vadis
03:49
|
|
||
|
My mind is on its way
It doesn't understand the way we talk tonight
And while it goes astray
It wants to hold your hand and still be out of sight
How many days can we keep it up
How many times can we fail until the evidence overtakes
My mind is on its way and I will follow soon
Hold me now before it's too late
Raise your voice and just make me listen and wait
There's a glowing path in the darkness you see
And still not sure what I'm just looking for
I'll turn around and step through the door
I'm on my way

New Me
03:40
|

Like everything is moving slowly into line
You look so pretty when you're undone
And everything is turning out to be just fine
There must be something totally wrong
Look around the contract where can it be
The bitter parts in the small print and the snags well I don't know
But we will see
And maybe our love is just a little too much
We're going deep inside and we're never losing touch
And all of our mornings seem to turn into song
If this is our fate Ok here I come
Look me right in the face now ask yourself if you're wrong
I'll remain silently in the corner but when you whistle whistle and I'll come
Why do you love me nobody does
Somebody does

"Life is a black abyss". But ironically some dreams coming true after all. I remember I've been trying to dig up the authors of this music led me through the darkest times of my life having "Psalm" on my mind. Since then, the band came from shadows of the underground (at least for several people) and now, three years past, I have a pleasure to listen to these significant songs in quality they deserve. Long afterlife to the Kings. They were born to reign our minds, you just didn't know it yet!
