For you

The night turns slowly to light
The Sun shimmers on the horizon
I wake up beside you
And remember the night that passed me by
Those sweet hours now gone
Eluded my grasp, those wistful moments
Stare at your mesmerising face
Thinking how lucky I am to find you
As you lie there, fast asleep
Your hair over your face
Dreaming of things so sweet
My shadow falls on your face
So you won’t feel the glare of the Sun
And the morning passes us by
But still we lie on the field
In sweet embrace, but the time is short
For you have to leave and go back home
All I have then are your memories
And the hope that I’ll see you again
Another night some other time
But till then, every night I’ll dream of you
Whence we’ll walk into the night
And talk of everything under the moon
And I’ll listen to your soothing voice
And watch your dreamy eyes speak to me
I know then that you love me as I do you
The night is long and I thank the Lord for you
Walk with me and never leave
Together we gaze at the moon
And we spoke only through thoughts
Another day ends and your absence haunts me
Confronting me with my loneliness
Please come and stay with me
And I ask for nothing else
For I need you so much closer
With you, my emotions have a closure

Take it all away

My breath is nameless,
Take it all away.
My heart beats for none,
Take it all away.

So alone, so empty,
Take it all away.
My life has no aim,
Take it all away.

All the feelings are dead,
Hurt in the love I never had.
My blood is dried in my veins,
Take it all away.

There's nowhere to run,
And no place left to hide.
Everything reminds me of
That day when I died.
My memories are full of pain,
Take it all away.

Carried Away by the Flow of Time

Carried away by the flow of time,
Waiting in the bright sunshine,
Standing all alone in the fields so green,
Listening to the sounds of nature so clean,
I wait for you, my love, to come,
And take me to a world other than this,
Into a world where all is peace,
Carried away by the flow of time,
Come, my love, into these arms of mine,
We will wait by the shore for the tide to rise,
We will look at the horizon for the beautiful sunrise,
Till the end of days shall arrive,
Into the ocean of love we will dive,
And swim like the fish in the sea,
And wait for the doom so we shall see,
If these beautiful bells will ever chime,
Carried away by the flow of time!

I don't know you anymore

You would hold my hand,
When we lay upon the sand.
You would talk so sweet,
And that's when our souls would meet.

You would walk with me,
You were all my eyes could see.
We would lie during the nights,
Admiring those heavenly lights.

But I don't know you anymore,
I don't recognise your face.
I don't need you anymore,
But I can't forget those days.

You were a sight for sore eyes,
My angel in sweet disguise.
I would share my laughs with you,
And then hold you in my arms and kiss you.

Then things happened that changed the times,
And now I wonder if you were really mine.
Or were you just a shadow of my love?
Were you really the gift to me from above?

But I don't know you anymore,
I don't recognise your face.
I don't need you anymore,
But I can't forget those days.

War!

Thus deepened the chilling silence
The spirits still walked in defiance
On the land, where they as living
Had fought for their land, their mother’s keeping

Ten thousand men met their end
Fighting the war while trying to defend
Their land from the attacker’s lustful crave
But the battles lead but to the grave

Some fight for their motherland
Some fight for their Kings
But why fight for whatever reasons
‘Tis only death that it brings?

The weapons unsheathed, the swords and shields
The men sound their battle cry.
Not to show their wrath, but to hide their fear
For they know they are to die

The kings order their armies around
Each man to him is but a pawn
But what difference does it make
Since only the kings see the next dawn

They go, they go, to battle, to war
To fight, to slay, their enemies to mar
But will they be back from the battle
To kiss their child, to feed their cattle?

Why fight if it only brings the doom?
The clouds of death, on a battlefield forever they loom.
And take away a father, a brother
Or give great grief to a mother

War or Peace? I shall choose the latter
To get a chance to hear the happy chatter
But my children now live away far
Because I am dead, I died in a war.

A Prisoner's Last Words

Pursued by my guilty conscience,
I’m trying to run from the pain.
But no matter how fast I run,
There’s no place for me to hide.

Every day’s a new beginning
To the same old life that I’ve been living.
Just for a few days of comfort,
I sold my soul to the Devil.

I feel the walls close upon me,
Laughing at my fateful destiny.
I offer my final prayer,
With Him lies my last hope.

I have a date with the executioner,
Short though my life has been.
I made some bad decisions,
And the result I’ve seen.

***
I climb onto the square,
Fill my eyes with real sunlight.
I walk slowly towards the noose,
That’ll be around my neck so tight.

So this is the end, my friend,
Lessons I’ve learnt so dearly.
Live your life to the fullest,
And don’t say you lived nearly.
