Slow down! Not so fast! Closing my eyes against this light So far, Bunch of laughs, burning the candle, lost the chance… What happens? It’s simple, decisions.. I don’t know A gamble, A dice roll, and now I’m caught in the middle... Take Care! Don’t look down! Hold on tight! White knuckle ride... Head burns of all this stuff, Stuck in the middle of indecision… Confusion? Exclusion? Throw the dice and I still don’t know.. Delusion, Illusion, Fate keeps me caught in the middle… Caught in the middle Oh! Got my heart in a wiggle... Bridge Uphill running… Nowhere safe in sight... Torches burning, but I can’t see its light… Just when I had figured all this out… Different questions filled me with new doubts… Yesterday the world seemed in its Place Now a detour pushes us in Haste… Hold on! Heads or tails? Torn in to two.. Hands in the fire.. Pass go! Rising high… Dancing down this bumpy road The tides turn... A new tune.. Move the body and just let go! The sun rise... A new day… Fate keeps me caught in the middle…

Moments… two hours… The sun shone down as I closed my eyes in your arms… Between the hundreds of miles.. my arms reach out now….. In longing… So Bitter sweet… How can I survive.. tight rope… my body trembles as I tumble down.. Chorus? Still leaping… chasing these dreams carry me away… on a careless sigh.. on these wings of bliss.. Roller Coaster.. white knuckle ride… Still racing… catching my breath.. On this blinding light.. Verse2 Loneliness…. left behind for these small moments with you… Caught up… magic spell Concealed feelings revealed inside of me… Longing… So bitter sweet like a moth drawn to the flame… In hope…..Throwing my hands in to the fire Chorus Instrumental break Still leaping Carry me away

Phantom Love 05:11
Alone with my thoughts, I have no words to say Goodbye my friend, we will laugh while we can Just like the unexpected snow melting in the spring It just couldn't last, but I still feel your sting (but you pulled my strings) Chorus Phantom love… that still holds on... My dreams don’t remember, that you are now gone Haunted by ghosts... of memory… Taunted by promises of what might have been? Some kind of peace... That I've tried hard to find The ache in my heart, chaos in my mind Midnight whispers of ghosts of the past.... Echoes of yesterday, since you have passed... Chorus 2 Phantom love… that still holds on.. My dreams don’t remember, that you are now gone Haunted by ghosts... of memory… Taunted by promises... Please set me free… Bridge Because in love in pain, in death, we're still chained Poison to my soul, since your love was claimed? Oooo Please set me free x3

Overflow 04:56
Verse 1 Time to dive for shelter, here comes the sudden rush of the rain. Waiting for the dark clouds, to break so we can see the sun again Lying under cover, I can barely hear you as the storm sustains The force from the storm sounds, so strong! shaking the window pane Chorus Outside in the violence, everything lost in the overflow Can you hear me through the river-fall? Everything lost in the overflow… Can you hear the power? Everything lost in the overflow… Leaving nothing behind Everything lost in the overflow… Verse 2 Strong within its frenzy, of the shrieking, tearing, howls and screams Working against us in the darkness, while we tried to sleep The river rises higher, sweeping everything away in its path I watched your photograph, floating down this stream in the aftermath Bridge Stranded without shelter Can you hear me calling? X2 Waiting the calm, Waiting after the storm Lost in the river overflow Stranded without shelter Can you hear me calling? Verse 1 Chorus

Verse 1 Softly the oak sways A mystical dance in May A Sea of Bluebells Lay down by your side A mist of concealment Tempting delights Whispers in trees Until the moon sheds its light The Rush of the waterfall In the pool of enchanted souls Who know what will befall Where the rhea water flows Lost in the Snowfall Her long hair hides her face She captures his presence In the spell of her grace Chorus Can you hear her? she's calling you! Ooh Can you see her She waits for the darkness to fall Can’t you tell what she’s longing for that you were falling for? The lady of the Waterfall Instrumental Vocal solo

Father Mould 03:20
We were close once upon a time when I was young Remembering the days when you was really highly strung This song’s about the pain you’ve given me thru out my life Cos all the time I’ve kept it hidden deeper down inside You were living round the corner but you never came to see How we were getting on, see your only family You beat me without remorse, left me grieving in the dark I’ve never understood but I guess it’s left its mark Father Mould – yeah I fit the father mould Father mould – Let the truths be told Father Mould – how I fit the father mould Father Mould - Let the truths be told I take it all back x3 How can I ever forgive you? A E I take my life back x3 But I can never forget you! C F All these years have passed and yet nothing is undone Feel the gap left in my life won’t close until we are done I swore I wouldn’t be like you when I had a family I never let them down, not even momentarily For many years I felt I didn’t need you in my life I was moving on and taking things into my stride Yet something wasn’t right, kept my feelings locked inside Just like you, I couldn’t tell you what was on my mind Father Mould, I feel I fit the Father Mould Let the truths be told, I take it all back x3 I can never forgive you I take my life back But I can never forget you Even though I hate it guess I fit the father mould x2 Can’t help but forgive you but it’s so hard to forget All the memories and feelings when you couldn’t stop the red I blamed you long enough, although the past is dead and gone Couldn’t shake away the bitterness, the damage is all done

Verse 1 It’s like this.. The unknown.. Waiting Game.. all Over Blown.. Just beyond my fingertips.. Happiness.. from sugar lips.. Accelerate to a better place.. No more talk.. Cut to the chase Been through too much.. to let it go.. Decision time, just let me know, How can I get through to you? That’s what you do, You drag your feet, What do you want. What do you need.. We’ve got the World at our Fingertips.. We could be running wild over the blips Why let it slide.. to a dark place.. All that’s past.. Just gone to waste We lit the Fire.. Lets make it roar.. Lets make it burn.. Its now our turn, How can I get through to you? Chorus AAHH.. Wont you Tell me who you really are.. AAHH… Won’t you Tell me what you really want… Verse 2 I’ll Show you.. Just what you need.. Its up to you.. because Your free. No holding back.. Over what’s gone.. Those Memories already done.. Waste no more time… Just let it go.. Love gone to waste.. Nothing to show Live out our dreams.. That we once knew.. The Futures here.. Another avenue. How can I get through to you? Chorus What do you think you’re doing, Don’t you waste my time.. Get back on my Right Side Where do you think you’re going.. Don’t you waste my time? Get back on my right side.

Many miles so I don’t see you now Lost in fragments but I have memories Left for afar I’m left with this void... But I go on even though I miss your voice No forgiveness... I thought we had many miles to go I feel your blame.. It cuts into my soul… I wish otherwise but you can’t change the clock.. No communication.. I’m left feeling this shock Chorus Distance widening.. Seat belt on.. This long journey has only just begun.. Driving far away through a land with unknown paths Follow this one branch in a land paved in scars A land paved in Scars It broke my heart.. When I heard him say to you Oh well, It’s time to go, I guess It’s just us two Travel far away with you into the night.. My heart beats with fear that you’ll be alright Broken promises is all I had to give you Our allotted time was over far too soon I hope you realise I never had a choice In-between the opposites you never had a voice Chorus A land paved in scars

Out the window… Moonlight glimmers Eb On the river… Feeling Shivers Look around us…. Knows my secrets C# There’s a little child inside of me… B F# G Shadow memories… I hear your whispers I hear your laughter… Float around me… Fleeing from the sun… Mark the day as done… There’s a little girl hidden inside of me… B F# F Shrouded in darkness at the edge of my vision.Eb Always beside me but never in reach Eb Behind the curtain Knows all my wrong moves B Knows all my secrets F# Me and my shadow… G# B C# Dancing Shadows… In the sun rays Watch the cats play.. Pounce at the black shapes Always shifting… In the candle light… There’s a little girl locked inside me… Daylight fading… The sun is setting. Eb C# B I hear your whisper… Somewhere deep within… Shadows dancing… I try to understand This little girl looking back at me I’m dancing with shadows… They follow me where ever I go.. (Repeat) It knows what I’m feeling… My hearts desires… It knows where I stand… Me and my shadow… It knows where I’ll fall… my true intentions Me and my shadow…

Take a while to clear my head! She’s coming out to forget Take a while to clear my head She’s coming out, out to forget! Verse 1 She often takes a walk down memory lane, tantalised, freedom vice, hasn’t she anything else left. So she takes a taste of driest wine, alone, confused but she feels the vibe. She wants to whisper goodbye to all the sad times and yeah come on bring on all those good vibes and all the positive hope that the future holds. In a hole of a home, in a nightmare of a dream… She dreams of sunbathe fields, sweetest appeal, she’s lying back, facing facts, don’t look back. Nostrils flare with the fragrance of flowers, dance with trees, lying naked feeling pleased. Chorus She’s living life in a positive way. Wears her heart on her sleeve, tries her hardest to please, but life’s a bitch. She doesn’t know what the hell she wants! X2 She doesn’t know but who the fuck cares anyway He made her laugh, he made her scream, and he made her high… Verse 2 She’s living life in the fast lane, tripping out, a child gone wild. A desperate sigh in trying times, we’re dancing with a sensual slide Guess she never hurt anyone but was left out in the cold She doesn’t know what the hell she wants! X2 She doesn’t know! 24 hours to kill… Won’t you turn on my light…? X2 Living life Ad lib Take a while to clear my head! Dance don’t leave dance don’t leave… She’s alright… She’s so high!

Dance with me Habibi Written on her lips Spoken by her heart Choking on his name Tearing me apart To the music that only we can hear Let it sweep us into Heaven Come, dance with me here Let it sweep us into heaven Come, dance with me here Till night breaks into day Chorus Dance with me Habibi Until the darkness goesX3 Dance with me Habibi ooh Glowing in your eyes Take away the loneliness That I’ve felt inside Dance away the hopelessness Come and hold me closer; and dance with me habibi Till the night breaks to day Chorus

All Is One 03:42
Fire is flowing through my veins You are now my obsession Fear is racing through my brain. You are now my only vision. Maybe this is just a lie I don’t care about the truth. You are now my whole desire Teach me a new destination. My hand now holds a new torch Until the empty parts are filled by you. Wished that you could know this. As I stand outside your room. Maybe this is just a dream So why do I feel so alive We carry parts of the same star * beating now in both our hearts * All…. Is …. One All ….is ….one…. All….is one…. Maybe this is just a lie I don’t care about the truth. You are now my whole desire Teach me a new destination.
