Hey, I heard you call my name
I heard you went insane
Life is not a game
Wish you were here to stay
In your messed up way
I heard you call my name
Won’t you take a ride?
Won’t you kill some time?
Can you find a way to me?
I don’t have a lot of time
The whole world is mine
Give me a sign
Let me know you’re mine
Maybe just a smile
Let me in a while
Won’t you take a ride?
Won’t you kill some time?
Can you find a way, to me?
Won’t you take a ride?
Won’t you kill some time?
Can you find a way to me?

A Day in September
05:39
|
|||
Sirens cry into the night
When darkness falls
Violent days are up ahead
We live with no hope
There’s a darkness all around
These hearts of stone
Fires rage, the city breaks
We need a hero
There’s still time to change it all
A brand new start
Colours fade to green and white
The flags of fathers
Throw your chains, stand on your own
A dream not far
Turning back the clock again
A brand new heart
Walk away, don’t look back
There is nothing in the black
Running through the world unknown
Will we ever find our home?

The Illusionist
07:09
|

Felt a chill down my spine
Wait a minute there it’s my delusional state of mind
I heard a beat in my head
Tellin’ me "boy go chase your dreams before they’re dead"
This time I’m not holdin’ back
You know I never meant to leave this world intact
There’s a voice in my head
Won’t shut up, it won’t shut up, I gotta go and put it to bed
I got a six-string, a sick mind, body parts frankensteined
And not a lot of time
Gotta run through the day
Burn through the night you know I never ever miss a fight
No one knows my sorrow
I am the Illusionist
Will I see tomorrow?
Or is this just another twist?
Why am I so hollow?
I am the Illusionist
Bitter pill to swallow
Man I just couldn’t resist
No more chills down my spine
Wait a minute where is my delusional state of mind?
No more beats in my head
Wonderin’ now if all of this is real, or am I dead?
So this time I’m just holdin’ back
Guess I’ll wait until I hear the track
There’s no voice in my head
Feel so alone I think I’d rather just stay in bed
No one knows my sorrow
I am the Illusionist
Will I see tomorrow?
Or is this just another twist?
I can’t see what’s real
I am the Illusionist
Lost in my own hell
Man I just couldn’t resist

Darvaish

Ghoom darvaish ghoom
Paani kay hazaron boondh
Aur aatish ki noor
Mein mil kar ghoom
Ghoom darvaish ghoom
Tera ishq zamanay mein mushhoor
Tera imaan mazboot
Mere sapnon mein…
Ghoom
Mere mann mein
Ghoom
Mullah kee nazar
Noor-e-firasat se khalee hai
Darvaish to…
Rooh-e-nafasat par jhoomta hai
Is kaum mein magar
Muddat se who darvaish nayaab hai
Dhoondun to milay
Mere dil mein…
Ghoom
Mere mann mein
Ghoom
Mere tann mein ghoom
Translation:
Whirl darvaish whirl
In thousands of drops of water
And the light of fire
Merge and whirl
Whirl darvaish whirl
Your love – legendary through the ages
Your faith – strong
In my dreams…
Whirl
In my mind
Whirl
The Mullah’s sight
Has lost the light of penetrative vision
But the darvaish…
Dances to a refined frequency
In this nation
For ages the darvaish has been scarce
If I search I’ll find him
In my heart…
Whirl
In my mind
Whirl
In my body, whirl

The Wax Museum

A wicked smile
Kept in a vile
Sewn on his face
Disguise
He stands in a room
So full of light
Behind the curtain
There is evil inside
Packed hopes and dreams
Sent in exile
A familiar place
The sky
His time will come
So full of lies
Now I am certain
He dies
This place is worth so much
More than you'll ever know
So leave us be and take your place
The wax museum

Disillusion
04:46
|

I can’t see the forest for the trees
I don’t know what it all means for me
There is no evidence
No reason to defend
This life ain’t good enough for me
I used to hold my head up high
I used to walk with kings, look through their eyes
But then a day came
When something changed inside
I don’t know what’s become of my life
I can’t see the light
Only darkness
I can’t hear the beat
Any longer
I just feel the pain
When everything falls away
Everything falls away
I heard a voice calling from the trees
Didn’t know what it all meant for me
A stranger needing help
I did just what I felt
And that changed everything for me
And I see the light
Burning brighter
And I hear the songs
So much clearer
And I feel alive
And I feel the hope

Janissaries
09:04
|

I walk into the setting sun
My head is held high
I don't know where I've come but
I'm marching forward
Into the void
I pull my boot straps tight
My pack is set
I am the jannisary of today
I'm off to war but
You're in my way
And I will come back
But would you stay?
So far away...
Believe me when I say...
See a field of endless green
I can't explain the
Space beyond this hate and ignorance
Are these illusions?
What have I done?
Space between my fear and love
My soul is aching
Have to find my way back up to you
My disillusion
Has nearly killed me
My retribution
Nearly...
Jan nissar hai tujh pe jannisaarie
Ke kal hum sar utha ke chalain
Jan nissar hai tujh pe jannisaarie
Apne khuda ki janib
Koi to jawab le ke chalain
Wasn't meant to be this way
Deluding myself another day
A walked a path that was set for me
But, didn't realise that my soul is free
I must confess now that it's all over
I'm just left with doubt.
You don't believe me?
Well, can't you see my mind is almost as foggy as the clouds?
That hover over,
to cast a shadow right across the mountains and the rivers of my land.
And then she tells me
Just who I am
The light within is already gone
I don't feel It's pull any more
How much further
do you want me to go?
And now I see the sky open up right in front of me
The rain falls down and...
Washes away all of the pain that I feel
I hear your voice and...
It's calling me as I run forward through the fields
I was a janissary
But having seen the light I just know that I am free
I am free

Karakoram
06:06

And I've reached these dizzy heights
A thousand miles away
The echoes are all I hear and I'm
Standing on my own
Where do I start
When the sky looks down on me
With miles to go
There is no end that I see
I take a step
And the rocks crumble beneath
But I take a breath
And begin this climb
I carry my weight up to the sun
It's hard to let go of all I've said and done
Despite the harshness of the cold
I won't surrender until I've found my home
Lord, just give me the strength to climb this peak
And I will gladly face what awaits for me

Hope Lives

Here we stand
Beneath this orange glow
So far away from home
No my love
Don't hang your head now
There's still hope
I gave it all
For your abode
Still I died alone
You took my heart
Ripped my soul apart
Pushed me into the void
This hope lives upon all my broken dreams
I carry it in my heart, can't you see?
I've made my peace with all my pieces of pain
You know I just took them all and rearranged
This fire has burnt away my self delusion
And I am left with my soul's reflection
This hope lives upon all our broken dreams
We carry it in our hearts, endlessly
