Pinocchio

part 1 : Dreams Are Coming True Tonight

Dreams are coming true tonight
If you really want them to

If you really want your dreams to be true
All your dreams come true
If you really want them to

part 2 : Birth

Move your arms pinocchio
Wrap them around my heart
Move your legs my dear and only son
And use your feet
To jump and run here all around
I gave you life
Move your head
Turn your eyes
And see the world that's all around
Feel the warmth in your heart
Isn't it love that's flowing through your heart
In your heart

They used to call you pinocchio
But now that time has passed
they used to feed on your wooden heart
When it was prey to fire
How could they have known a puppet could cry
Silently in the dark
When there's no one around
To look at him throught the night
Unable to show the feelings devouring his soul
and his heart

Move your head
Watch out for your heart
There's nothing stopping you running now
Feel the love all around
Can you feel it growing up
From the ground to your heart

They used to call you pinocchio
And how they were so wrong
They used to laugh at your powerless soul
Standing on your wooden bones
They did not believe that a boy could grow
Into something so strong
With the whole world around
To look at him in the light
Unable to hide the feelings
Carved into his soul and his heart

They used to call you Pinocchio
The words hit like a stone
That they used to throw at your wooden heart
A pillar on it's own
They did not see how blood could flow
Through his veins unknown
There was no one around
To look at him through the night
Unable to hide the feelings
Carved into his soul and his heart

Move your arms pinocchio
Wrap them around my heart
Feel the warmth inside your chest
Do you feel my love flowing through your veins ?
I am your Mother
Can you feel it in your heart ?

 

Something Happened

Something happened in the garden of Eden
The secrets of the Gods were taken one by one

The winds of change have been blowing
Through the holy night
To sweep away
The ancient superstitious old wives tales

And now, what will you do?
With all that knowledge in your hands
You know the secrets of Life and Death
but still ignore the purpose of it all
And tell me how long you plan
To play this absurd game
Pretending that you don't know
who will win in the end

Now can you feel the unrelenting decline of their power
They're no more feeding on the pride of their creations
The pieces of the puzzle have patiently found their place
It's time for us to play the extravagant wizards

IN OUR OWN RIGHT !

Oh can't you see
Pawns have now decided to play as Queens
The Rules of the Game have changed
For much longer than you'd believe
We're now the masters of the Game.

Something's broken in my heart and in my mind
The void is filling all the world under my eyes
My ears are suffering from the lack of sound
I fear I'm not even willing to survive

Now please, open your eyes
To see the world that was offered to you
Is this just one more law that we transgress
Or the last, that will lead us to our ruin
And tell me how far you'll go, to justify yourself
And tell me what cause you'll serve
To cling at your beliefs

Oh can't you see
Pawns have now decided to play as Queens
The Rules of the Game have changed
For much longer than you'd believe
We're now the masters of the Game.

Something's broken in my heart and in my mind
The void is filling all the world under my eyes
My ears are suffering from the lack of sound
I fear I'm not even willing to survive

Now please, open your eyes
To see the world that was offered to you
Is this just one more law that we transgress
Or the last, that will lead us to our ruin
And tell me how far you'll go, to justify yourself
And tell me what cause you'll serve
To cling at your beliefs

Oh can't you see
Pawns have now decided to play as Queens
The Rules of the game have changed
For much longer than you believe
We're now the rulers of the game

Oh can't you see
Pawns have now decided to play as Queens
The Rules of the Game have changed
For much longer than we'd believe
We're now the rulers of our lives

 

Carpe Diem

What's the point in running so fast
If it's only to get to the end
Can you see a future that's bright or
Is the unknown haunting you my friend ?
Even the biggest eyes don't see everything

Look at what’s around you
Have you ever really looked ?
Do you know what you have
What lives under your hood

Perhaps on the other side
The green grass is blue
There's only one way of knowing everything

Are you driven by ego love or lust ?
Are you watched by the devil or a precarious god ?

Caught you trying to pull at the stars
Caught you trying to pull at the stars

Only rocks last forever and
They're one day washed to sea
You've got some time to wonder
Until your spirit is free

What will be left behind
Won't resemble you or me
Live in the flesh that surrounds you
Head to feet

Are you driven by ego love or lust ?
Are you watched by the devil or a precarious god ?

Caught you trying to pull at the stars
Caught you trying to pull at the stars

Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem

 

Kyrie

He closed his eyes
Leaving a lifeless shrine
With no tears
Without a word
Nor a cry

He's lying on the stone
With blood on his face

Even Time has held its breath

Since he died.

 

Snow

White Flakes of Snow dance in the light
Shivering in the coolness of the morning
They gently kiss my lips caress my cheek
So tenderly
Strange how they take the warmth
From my body and my soul

I am running in the snow
Naked as the first day of my life
I am dancing in the cold
Trying to forget the pain of my soul
O daggers of coldness
Make your way through my chest to my heart

The gentle winds are waltzing with the leaves
strangely dressed in a mantle of frozen dewdrops
The sun itself feels as cold as ice
Suddenly so distant in the sky
It's hard to believe that there was life
While even time seems to have been crystalized

I am running in the snow
Naked as the first day of my life
I am dancing in the cold
Soothed by the rhythm of my steps in the snow
O daggers of coldness
Make your way through my chest to my heart

Oh Lady Winter
Change my teardrops into ephemeral jewels
Let them sparkle today
Like the stars they seem to be so far away
Then let them vanish away
With all the memories and the scars
Of Yesterday

 

Father

O Father please help me
I've travelled so far
I cannot get back the years
I can feel doubt all over me
Please stay with me

Please my Son
Let yourself go
Your tears are the proof
Of your humanity
Don’t push me away
You're still the child I could not bear

It's a lie !
You should have told me truth from the start
How could you think for a moment...
Tell me why
You never told me that death was the price
... Life was an eternal Prize
Can't you hear me crying
Let my father come back in my arms tonight !
But there's nothing I can do
I know Time is passing too fast for you
How could a mother
Walk with death by her side ?

Poor Pinocchio
Forgive me my son
I gave you life
Along with tears and with cries
Give me your hand now the time has come
We must go now...

O Mother
You should have told me that death was the price
How could you think for a moment...
Born to die !
You should have told me the truth from the start
... Life was an eternal Prize
Can't you hear me crying
Let my father come back in my arms tonight !
But there's nothin I can do
I know Time is passing too fast for you
Walking hand in hand with death
by your side

O Blue Fairy
You should have told me the truth from the start
How could you think for a moment...
Tell me why
Are there so many tears in your eyes
... Life was an eternal Prize
It's all lies to me
Let my father come back in my arms tonight !
But there's nothin I can do
I know Time is passing too fast for you
Walking hand in hand with death
by your side
Don't be blinded by light

 

Why ?

Is this just harmony
Is this just love or hatred
That keeps us alive day after day
Is this just time we're trying to escape
Running this absurd race
That we can't win

Is this a desperate fight against oblivion
When all we can do is fade away
Leaving this world without a trace
We died the very day that we were born

I was woken again tonight
By the same old dream
I've had every night since I was a child
I can't even remember being free from it
So that it seems to be
So intimately part of me

I stand alone in a large white room
I am free to run and run and run
As far as my feet can lead me
But there are strings
Bounded to my arms.
I cannot see them,
But I can also feel strings
Bounded to my soul

Something's broken in your heart
The void is filling all the world
Under your eyes
Your ears are suffering
From the lack of sound
I fear you're not even
Willing to survive

choir : In your dreams, in your dreams

What do these patterns mean ?
Who did program my genes ?
Who does command my thoughts
Why was I left alone ?

ALONE ! ALONE !
