My illusion

Roads to Anadyr: My illusion
take a look
take your time
you will never figure it out
sniff if you will
laugh if you will
this is my illusion
this is my my illusion
this is my my illusion
this is my my illusion
this is my my illusion
rejecting your game
surpassing my shame
getting rid of the stain
transcending things once vain
you can mock my
dear illusion
but it is more
than your delusion
you can fight my
view of things
but its more air
under my wings
you can burn my
self-esteem
but its just fuel
for tomorrow's dream
you can scorn my
dear illusion
i won't be part
of your confusion
you have always been
thrusting, twisting, turning the blade
scorching, erasing what i've prayed
degrading, despising what i've made
bringing forth what i am afraid
i know now you will never see
even if you buried your disbelief
i know now you will never agree
even when the sun has dried every sea
world will not wait and hold its breath
and just lay still and await for death
there is more than you have laid waste
there are still things that have sweet taste
you can mock my
dear illusion
but it is more
than your delusion
you can fight my
view of things
but its more air
under my wings
you can burn my
self-esteem
but its just fuel
for tomorrow's dream
you can break my
dear illusion
but not my will
my conclusion
you have always been
thrusting, twisting, turning the blade
scorching, erasing what i've prayed
degrading, despising what i've made
bringing forth what i am afraid
it is now a whole new game
distress has now fully faded
you see, my dear, i have
waited long enough what's now created

In another life

Roads to Anadyr: In another life
in another life
in another space and time
in another day
there souls will be sublime
i don't have to read any book to understand
that i'll have to bleed to move from where i stand
its getting closer it is getting closer
its getting closer it is now almost here
do i have to spit it out
do i have to yell it loud
do i have to spell it for you
this is not where i want to get to
in another life ... in another day
at the new forgiving dawn
i will break away ... through the lights of may
with the dream of the white unicorn
in another life ... in another day
in another time and place
shadows fade away ... they are not to stay
in illuminated glittering space
writing now my last phrase
loneliness churns in this space
can't stand another desperate want
joining me soon en passant
can't you see
i'm in between
this life is not for me
can't you see
the trail begins
right before the trees
it enters the grove
and crosses it
curing my disease
i'm placing there
my heart and soul
for gods are hard to please
do i have to spit it out
do i have to yell it loud
do i have to spell it for you
this is not where i want to get to
in another life ... in another day
in another kind of form
i will break away ... through the lights of may
with the dream of the white unicorn
in another life ... in another day
in another time and place
shadows fade away ... they are not to stay
in illuminated glittering space

Roads to Anadyr: Beyond (Where it all turns real)
you don't have to say
anything
you don't have to pray
as if all is lost
take me beyond the stars
there we can sleep forever
take me way past this world
there we can dream together
will you be my morpheus
and fulfill my last desire
will you light up the night
and set the sky on fire
far away beyond the boundary ... where it all turns real
far away into eternity ... where even mortal wounds will heal
far away from all this vanity ... where words aren't incomplete
far away from all this tragedy ... where dreams do turn concrete
take me beyond the stars
there we can sleep forever
take me way past this world
there we can dream together
tell me there what dreams may become
if worry and anxiety are gone
tell me there all the tales of long-lost world
with your words i will be cured
tell me there all the long-lost tales of yore
tell me there how things were before
will you be my morpheus
and take my hand and fly me far away
will you rain on thirsty soil
and let sprouts grow into another day
far away beyond the boundary ... where it all turns real
far away into eternity ... where even mortal wounds will heal
far away from all this vanity ... where words aren't incomplete
far away from all this tragedy ... where dreams do turn concrete
take me beyond the stars
there we can sleep forever
take me way past this world
there we can dream together
take me beyond the new-born stars
there we may lay together
take me far past the point
after which time stops forever
take me beyond the stars
there we can sleep forever
take me way past this world
there we can dream together
tell me there what dreams may become
disbelief is entirely gone
tell me there all the long-lost tales of yore
tell me how things were before
tell me

I dreamed of you
05:18
|

Roads to Anadyr: I dreamed of you
i dreamed of you
i dreamed of you
you don't know its true
i dreamed of you
second thoughts still reside in me
they won't let me be
there is more than i'd like to see
when light is gone for the day
rational is chased away
and we have more to say
i dreamed of the ocean
i dreamed of the shores, too
i dreamed of the depths dark blue
i dreamed of you
i dreamed of the sky
i dreamed of the winds, too
i dreamed of the highest view
i dreamed of you
if i could save these hours
save what sun soon devours
i would not ask for more
nothing that i've longed before
if i could save these hours
save what is ground by powers
of light, chores of the day
and reasons to repay
i think i'll close my eyes for today
having the dream once more
having you to hold and to adore
and you walk to me
against the red horizon
is this the beginning or the end
wasted time, one hour spent
i dreamed of the ocean
i dreamed of the shores, too
i dreamed of the depths dark blue
i dreamed of you
i dreamed of the sky
i dreamed of the winds, too
i dreamed of the highest view
i dreamed of you
i dreamed of the fields
i dreamed of the meadows, too
i dreamed of the sparkling dew
i dreamed of you
i dreamed of the sunrise
i dreamed of the sunset, too
i dreamed of their orange hue
i dreamed of you
if i could save these hours
save what sun soon devours
i would not ask for more
nothing that i've longed before
if i could save these hours
save what is ground by powers
of light, chores of the day
and reasons to repay

Before and until
05:02

Roads to Anadyr: Before and until
wedding chimes and nursery rhymes
are never really you
always dressed in melancholy
and world view shaded blue
what do you want to know?
what do you wish to do?
where do you long to go?
where is the life for you?
before blood flows cold
before your world turns old
before all the tales are told
before your truth is sold
before the time is still
and waters are tranquil
before and until
the final chill
before it all
before the final call
what do you want to get?
and what you still regret?
before it all
before the heavens fall
what do you want to get?
and what to forget?
nightingales singing gloomy tales
tapping on your door
drawn by melancholy
descending there once more
who do you want to hold?
when your hands are gray and cold
where did you wish to be?
upon the death of your esprit
what are the words to say?
where is your trust today?
when did you wander astray?
wrapping your life in a sheer cliche
before the time is still
and waters are tranquil
before and until
the final chill
before it all
before the final call
what do you want to get?
and what you still regret?
before it all
before the heavens fall
what do you want to get?
and what to forget?
...before and until...
...before and until...
look at the ashes of your world tree
what's the fact for you to agree?
is there an angel for you to see?
or is it a banshee smiling of glee?
what are the deeds to do?
where are the seeds for you?
to plant, grow, protect from rust
forever saving from turning to dust
look at the shadows night casts
seize the moment while it lasts
and make your peace with the past
for tomorrow, forever, make it to last
look at the mist behind the wall
and fading light down the hall
and the thing assigned for you to fulfill
before, before and until
