All the Good 04:02
when the soil stops to feed our fall? it´s so fine in its winter coat, frozen when the light stops to give us new hope? can we make it without hope? a young pair holding hands holding hands and they have pure trust for each other for the promise they´ve made the first steps of a child the sweet scent of spring a strong faith for the goodness of man power of will still, broken and helpless she lies on a journey all without a guide, no strength she´s beyond all that what can be seen I can still take her palm and sing sing while she sleeps sing that old song she knows which for long for long has been left unsung
2.
Funeral Day 04:02
world on our hands crossroads all past have we done the best we can? in sunlight we stand tears of the earth land barren and burnt home of love and trust and hope she´s sick, she is hurt time is too late to change we watch her decaying nothing remains on her funeral day can you honestly say we tried to save you swaying my child singing her lies you will live a long good life we are allright I don´t know about you but I must say I can´t lie on a funeral day
3.
the road of true brigade a ship over sea the day was clear, men said farewell to families they weren´t afraid the bravest of the brave they will save us again was once more said the sea the wind darkness entered murderer storm rose again in the ocean without help bitter land rose to revenge raging waters took them away an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth would they´ve deserved a better doom? bitter land rose to revenge raging waters took them away don´t try to play god don´t rise against greater than you pieces of grey steel oil and blood and dreams floating on the waves on the second level left behind only tears this is hopeless
4.
above the sleeping city dancing on a string so high she can almost see the Pripyat ferris wheel the only option to think is to continue with the old strategies idea and practice they seldom meet the death of humanity white great light fills the horizon for a moment all is quiet floating in the silent and bursting away the sky´s on fire! towers collapsed concrete back to sand ash fills the air 700 million people one explosion I raise my eyes afraid no time to say anything so fast all is over so fast I was dead it´s so silent you can´t hear a whisper
5.
heavy rain drumming the asphalt furious waves breaking the shore the smoke, the haze, broken windows abandoned houses, desolated yards storm! again another storm! we have darkened the sun we have painted our home city black we have drifted into a world without colours hope is dead! the cold grey swallows oh, the lack of consideration is the greatest of sicknesses self-centeredness is the reason numb with materia, numb with consuming into this greed we have drowned to this filth suffocated my heart is black my heart is stone
