Mourning Each Day Away
06:33
|
|
||
|
Wandering through illusions
Longing for days to be done
I’m craving for someone to hold me
Wishing that you be that one
The birds sang all the morning
While I was dreaming the night away
I hear all of your prayers
But I’m mourning each day away
I’m mourning each day away
Riding through salvation
A free seat by my side
I was asking for you to join me
On the road into the sky
The birds sang all the morning
While I was dreaming the night away
I hear all of your prayers
But I’m mourning each day away
I’m mourning each day away
Wandering through illusions
I’m longing for days to be done
I’m craving for someone to hold me
Wishing that you be that one
The birds sang all the morning
While I was dreaming the night away
I hear all of your prayers
But I’m mourning each day away
I’m mourning each day away
I won’t dream my nights away

Oh, Rosalie

Oh, Rosalie
You’re calling for me again
Oh, Rosalie
Old needs in golden chains
By small degrees
There is a seasonal change
Get on your knees
What did you lose and what will you gain?
Visualize your body embracing the pain
Grow your roots, ground to your sacred place
Soon wild roses reign
Oh, bitter wine might stain
Oh, Rosalie
A sip from the cup of lust
Oh, Rosalie
All clouds will be falling to dust
Salt of the earth
Crystallized and ingrained
Plant the silky seeds
Flowers will bloom once they feel the rain
Visualize your body embracing the pain
Grow your roots, ground to your sacred place
Soon wild roses reign
Oh, bitter wine might stain
A heart in growth is a heart in pain
Something refuses a seasonal change
Know there is beauty - beauty in pain
Know that some roses, they tend to stain
A heart in growth is a heart in pain
Don’t refuse a seasonal change
Trust that you’ll be born again
Just wash away, wash away the stain
Of the bitter wine
Of the bitter wine
Let the roses grow
Let the roses grow
The wild roses grow
Wild roses grow

Silver Rain
04:13
|
|
||
|
The April sun just fades away
Lights in red turn to blueish gray
You had to leave and it was time to go
I’m about to be free, don’t wanna keep control
And I kissed your neck when we said goodbye
Sent you out in the starlit sky
A dry wall, a hard-slammed door
Waves of tears touch the silver floor
The April sun just rose from dawn
High above the clouds I’m homeward bound
When you wake up I’ll be coming down
If I wanna be free we shouldn’t be around
And I kissed your neck as we said goodbye
Sent you out in the starlit sky
A dry wall, a hard-slammed door
Waves of tears touch the silver floor
My heart is pouring silver rain
My heart is shedding silver rain

Lose My Love
06:21
|
|
||
|
You can lose my love
You can lose, my love
You can fight or lose my love
In a foggy distance
Stands a frozen ship
No armies for assistance
No bay leaves to burn
In a limbo line of sight
It takes one star for a holy night
You can lose my love
You can lose, my love
You can fight or lose my love
The ship once crossed an ocean
How to move in stagnant motion
In a limbo line of sight
Where’s the star for the holy night?
You can lose my love
You can lose, my love
You can fight or lose my love
You can choose my love
You can choose, my love
You can fight or lose my love
Hear the sirens
Hear them calling
Hear the sirens
Hear them calling
Hear the sirens
Hear them calling
Just move, just move, just move…

Red Velvet Fruit

Red velvet fruit
Hanging so low
My hands on your skin
No one would know
If I left here in the night
And I was gone before the light
Red velvet fruit
No one would know
Red velvet fruit
Are you calling for me?
Bright through days and nights
Are you shining for me?
If I taste just a shy bite
Would a bitter dawn open my eyes?
Red velvet fruit
Only I would know
Red velvet fruit
You’re fading to black
You’ll rot, velvet fruit
With no blood shed
You’ve been waiting to feel
If my lips would set you free, if my lips would set you free…
My lips would set you free

Horses

|

Thunder is rolling
Down the sky
Ashes are falling
And the moon is rising high
Fields so golden
They will all be black
Fields so golden
Will you come back?
Oh Mother, you’re calling
Through the night
Father sends warnings
While the moon is rising high
Fields so golden
They are still so black
Fields so golden
Will you come back?
Don’t hold on, wild horses
Run with your wild horses
Don’t hold on, wild horses
Run with your wild horses
Don’t hold on to wild horses
Run with your wild horses
Don’t hold on to wild horses
Run with your wild horses

Run
Up that hill
Run fast
Up that hill
Ooooh, run
Run
Up that hill
Run fast
Up that hill
Ooooh, run
Run, where I am
Ooooh, run
The Devil won’t run
The Devil won’t run
Ooooh, run
The Devil won’t run
The Devil won’t run
Ooooh, run
Run
Up that hill
Where I am
Up that hill
Ooooh, run
Run, shake him off, let him go
Ooooh, run
The Devil won’t run
The Devil won’t run
The Devil won’t run
The Devil won’t run
Close to hell and close to help
Lead me down and pull me out
Something lost and something found
Lead me down and pull me out
He won’t run

Who stopped the rain?
I haven’t seen him in a while
Ain’t he coming down no more?
I miss the soft touch of rain
Falling on my skin
The gentle drops that wash away the sins
Ain’t he coming down no more?
Ain’t he coming down no more?
Who’s seen the rain?
Will you send him back to me?
Ain’t he returning into my arms no more?
The land is dry without the rain
Am I sentenced into exile?
Do the angels watch, and when will they finally weep?
Ain’t they looking down no more?
Ain’t they looking down no more?
I’m craving for some light
In warm soil lush flowers thrive
Have mercy, send some water to make me feel alive
When the sky cracks open, heaven sends you water
Know that he’ll be coming down, coming down
Coming down in ease

Cold is the rain, tonight
Water flushing down your boulevard, tonight
I send you a storm, you feel knee-high in water tonight
An experience in isolation only for you tonight
Let it rise
Lover, leave me
Lover, leave me
Lover, leave me
Lover, leave me
Lost in deep vain, tonight
Your phone is out of reach and you can’t call for help, tonight
No one believes the torture you feel tonight
Pictures to memorize, mirrors to choke on your sins tonight
Let it rise
Lover, leave me
Lover, leave me
Lover, leave me
Lover, leave me
How was your pain, last night?
Does the salt still hurt your wounds, the ones from last night?
Commitments are burdens when you look in the mirror
Commitments are burdens, it’s time to face your shadow
Let it rise

Season Without Light
05:50
|
|
||
|
Autumn leaves
On the ground
Once a shelter from the sun
Now they rot to mud
Descending into dust
But I dream of summer nights
When stirring leaves, they whispered to me
In a season without light
A fire’s a precious thing
My heart, it claims to melt
The cold that grows within
Frozen tears
Falling off my chest
On a lightless morning dew
May they dissolve all winter’s ice
Kissing earth to come alive
But I birth those summer leaves
In shade and night, they whisper to me
In a season without light
A fire’s a precious thing
Your heart, it claims to melt
The cold that grew within
Calling in the flames
Burning in my heart
Melting all the ice
Calling in the flames
Burning in my heart
Melting all the ice
In a season without light
A fire’s a precious thing
Remind your heart to melt
The cold that grows within

The Good
04:23
|
|
||
|
You asked me to talk to your spirits
And my dear, they talk to me
In dreams they sing to me softly
The words that you should hear
You run away from all the good
You run away from all the good that could already be
You have your wishes and your desires
To be released with a falling star
It takes the eyes to face the horizon
To see who is burning for you
You run away from all the good
You run away from all the good
You run away from all the good that could already be
You ask for forgiveness, falling from the sky
To bring you release from burden and sins before you die
Call in the angels to guide you through the night
Strength in facing all that must die
You run away from all the good
You run away from all the good
You run away from all the good
You run away from all the good

(You're A) Star
04:27

Look, don’t fall
You’ve seen it all
Long revelations, oh hear the angels sing
From dust you’ll rise
In the morning skies
Old revelations, oh hear the angels sing
Remember where you’re coming from
Remember where you’re coming from
Once you’ve been falling from the sky
Now lonely, wondering where you are
On a ground
- That you don’t call home -
Being stuck
- In a place that ain't home -
Look above
- Remember where you’re coming from
Look above
You’re a star
Phoenix and the sun
In the south, they’re shining both
Calling angels and loved ones
To sing for us on concrete ground
There is a lion inside your heart
Stroke his head and feed him gently
Long revelations, oh hear the angels sing
Remember where you’re coming from
Remember where you’re coming from
Once you’ve been falling from the sky
Now you remember who you really are
On a ground
- Where home feels so far -
Endless grace
- In taming the lion’s heart -
Hold him gently
- Taming the lion’s heart -
Look inside
You’re a star
Once you’ve been falling from the sky
Now you remember who you really are
On a ground
- Where home feels so far -
Endless grace
- In taming the lion’s heart -
Hold him gently
- Taming the lion’s heart -
Look inside
You’re a star

Phoenix Rise
06:22
|
|
||
|
River runs wide, river runs deep
Dive into your essence, feel your body weep
Waves of light rushing through your spine
Crackling, burning, fueling a sore heart’s desire
Once you had this dream in your mind
Did it wander to your heart?
Or was it lost by thoughts that don’t ignite?
What is it that you’re wishing for?
If time was determined
And only your emotions would,
Your emotions would decide
And your silver chord sings your golden song
A new birth with the dawning
Ashes burn, phoenix rise, spirit come alive
You’ll howl in the morning
Howl in the morning
Howl in the morning
The empress runs with the mare
Water, ocean, tides, cleanse your field before you rise
What is it that you’re wishing for?
If time was determined
And only your emotions would,
Your emotions would decide
And your silver chord sings your golden song
A new birth with the dawning
Ashes burn, phoenix rise, spirit come alive
You’ll howl in the morning
Howl in the morning
Howl in the morning

Laura Carbone Berlin, Germany
“... and this voice, this magnificent voice,
that unfolds and ripples like the waves of the ocean, with
an invigorating saline quality.
It seems to consist of healing minerals that could be smeared on the skin.”
Sors-tu.ca, Montreal, 2019
