Life is nothing But a fragile Dream And world around me makes aware of my deep sleep And (the) Will inside me is whispering that it’s too sick I cannot run but send my last hope to the skies And let my dying spirit free to navigating through the stars It’s back to me so tired It’s back to me so tired Of the stars It’s breaking my desire It’s breaking my desire to avoid Nothing... the Nothing eats me alive

And finally one day I draw the line I made my mind and tried to change my life I’m yearning for a change of heart I dream with future for (the) first time But when the sun went down I feel the dark revive They find the way to stop me now The nightmares crawl up to my spine No matter how I try they’re coming back to life I try to run I try to hide I even try to draw a smile But all the demons from my past reborn before my eyes I tried to fly away from the stigmas of my yesterday (But reality always keeps me down) I tried to run away But it seems there’s something I still forget They are moving faster moving faster… They are moving faster moving faster… They are moving faster moving faster… They are moving faster than my will for life Experimenting Manipulating The chaos of my life The inner screams don’t cease at night The whispering intensifies As I remember hope can’t be a part of who I am ... This underworld of mine This underworld’s alive I feel the dark… I feel the dark revive

And turn around, the apocalypse is beginning on my own It’s growing hard on my inner sense a strong feeling of rebirth Because the path that I used to guide Has become just a trail of a broken lines That I swore to always keep inside That I swore to always guide over my acts Betrayed as deep as I can Betrayed by the things you are From this pain there’s no way out And turn around the happiness, you get what you’re searching for So tell me why if you’re finally there, you’re still looking for the road? Because the wishes of all your life Turn to be just a lie of your broken heart Where you find you’ll always be the one That will run away from all you ever want Letting down what’s in your mind Turning down what’s in your heart From this pain there’s no way out Ah – redemption is not a choice Ah – beyond the turning point Ah – afraid of getting lost Ah – across the long dark road to a brave new dawn And turn around of your gloomy path Leave the goals they ask behind So why don’t you ever let yourself Be the one you have desired? Because despite all the praise you had There’s an echo resounding (in) your empty heart And the only love you’re waiting for It’s the one no matter what you cannot find Overlooked between the lies Underestimated man From this pain there’s no way out ... We learn to fly to crashing higher We crucify all the essence of our light

I wake up in the morning The eternal dream is over The time has taken cards and raped it all My faded tired body My lost and senseless heartbeat The paleness in my face is getting hard to hide Without a fated path The mirror doesn’t lie A dead man’s marching and the birth of a child And now I get things clear The world is full of fear The time has come and life is now so unreal We lived again in many days lost in the past When Time has gone and I don’t think he’s coming back Meanwhile the Future lies forgotten in the sand And with his final breath he’s screaming all his life like epitaph All around is still life I think I’m far from daylight Caught in a moment where the things are never bright I lost my faith at this time My pain keeps growing inside The tears are falling and I can’t stop screaming aloud And now my future won’t remember anymore The day when Present realizes that he’s dead long time ago

Here I am, at the middle of my life Even when it seems to be the cliff of the final Who really matters if there’s enough time? I start to feel the embrace of the cold white light What have I built, what have I done Still isn’t worth the chance of keeping me on the road Material grime of unimportant rhymes Written on the faded book of the ordinary tries How far do you think I can really walk? With a broken esteem and the illusions torn apart The brightest memories of a velvet child Lay now corrupted by the inclement face of time The swamped past of my confused mind Bring me to the present tragedies of a mistaken path And when the future waits for you with its rapped open arms I’ll know it will be the hour to escape from the tyranny of… life! If there’s no more hope, why can’t I just get out of this world? Looking for shapes that keeps me ever down Was everybody’s lord? Or just the demon on my own? Am I the walk of a death? Am I the only one to blame? Or am I just being part of an ethereal sickest game? But lost in the waves of a coward’s crime I stop the blindness and assume this guilt of mine If someone condemned me to live this shameful life Then I will condemn you to ever see me try! No matter how melted my knees are with the floor Whether I wanted to or not, I finally will stand up At the end of this misery, no matter if there’s still pain My life, with or without my will, shall recover his aim But today, just to feel anything for today, My mind has falling into the oblivion…

I Am 05:00
I am the one who believes that no matter why, life deserves a chance I am the one who strongly believes I should fight for what I want I am the one who undoubtedly believes I could fly upon the lies But now that I have fallen among the rest (I) finally realize… how wrong I am Even the dreams that I settled before, seems to start falling down Even the future I drew years ago is escaping from my hands “Years After years Of vain sleep Come to an end To wake up And one day Realize That the blood on your trace was in vain” Down on my knees overwhelmed, horrified, by the being I have evolve (into) Finding myself in resist of the truth that I’ll hear forevermore “You’re no longer The one Who can feel That will walk In the air To avoid All the filth While the mud starts to run through your veins” I am blind I am benighted All beliefs are gone All your thoughts, betrayed, don’t worth All you’re fighting for All that you meant has become… “In something you are not” Night after night, all the night I can hear every second the laugh From a sky who denies Every ask for mercy that I cry I’m ashamed and condemned And I’m facing myself wonder why Carry on with the lie Of a life that is no longer mine?

"Behold the night, ‘cause we’re just like those skies: you are the light of the stars, piercing the veil of my endless dark…" The piercing white Pale light of night Illuminates The dark on my psyche The nightmare’s end When I saw her And for (the) first time I felt so warm Oblivion’s path It turns to dust Before her eyes To shine in lust I offered her In sacrifice To let my demons Ease their wrath She promised me To never leave To stay with me While (the) world’s torn apart But she cannot Just understand That she should not Release my hand (Take me in your eyes) And she put miles among our hearts (Tell me your lies) And then she said we are not one That’s when your lack of confidence Said you are safe Away from me But I’ll avoid The ignorance That fills your mind That makes you blind You are part of me You are deep in me And you must feel The same for me Just simply cannot Understand No matter what I’m yours and you’re mine! Take me in your eyes And the skies will turn to light Tell me your lies And the stars will die tonight And destiny Agrees with me Because I’m here Kissing your dreams I need no air I need not feed Since it’s your breath That makes me live Oh, sleep so well My quiet dear That I will make Silence stand still The dark prevails The stars rebel Not for so long Benighted myself! ... And the firmament begging for our alliance A moment of peace fills me as your screams caress my hand My dark and your twinkling light now unite Dope me with your last suspire, life cannot tear us apart ... I will take both our hearts And united them as one Oh! Grey world: step aside You do not deserve our lives

Silent screaming Cut the night in countless pieces Quietly, slowly I surrender to my lids and sail on Through the oceans of my thoughts I just sail on While discovering the meaning of my life My contentment Fell aside just near to my presence Muted And meanwhile it sleeps you come to me for (the) first time To complete my dreams and take them into a new style I ‘m aware that through that faint you’re reaching me I feel love and you disappear In my shattered mind I notice that you are nothing but a dream Fall in love with my fiends... Night is moving And again I’m waiting for delight to vanish Hoping To meet me with you and take your presence far To the dreams that I prepare for you, tonight Begging for the eternal wilt of my self-pride But reality brings me back Taken with my sadness all my reasons to remain alive Fall in love with my fiends... Take me away for the veil of light Let my willingness (be) drawn through the night Give me hope, never leave my side and release me for eternity and another painful dawn

Life is nothing But a fragile Dream And (the) world around me makes me aware of apathy The will inside me is whispering “it’s time to live” I will not run I am the last hope for the skies I let my rising spirit free to navigating through these lands It’s back to me so tired It’s back to me so tired Of mankind It’s breaking my desire It’s breaking my desire to let everything to die ... The world, ordinary, still deserves the fire But stars in the sky maybe can survive I still can imagine a dream on this shinning Despite its fragileness, it brings me light… Just let me live my fragile dream…

Todos me dicen el negro, Llorona, Negro pero cariñoso Yo soy como el chile verde, Llorona, Picante pero sabroso Ay de mí, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona llévame al río Tápame con tu rebozo, Llorona, Porque me muero de frío No sé qué tienen las flores Llorona, Las flores del camposanto Que cuando las mueve el viento, Llorona, Parece que están llorando Ay de mí, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona de azul celeste Y aunque la vida me cueste, Llorona, No dejaré de quererte La luna es una mujer, Llorona, Y por eso el sol de España Anda que bebe los montes, Llorona, Porque la luna lo engaña Ay de mí, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona de un campo lirio El que no sabe de amores, Llorona, No sabe lo que es martirio Yo te soñaba dormida, Llorona, Dormida te estabas quieta Pero en llegando el olvido, Llorona, Soñé que estabas despierta Si porque te quiero, quieres, Llorona, Quieres que te quiera más Si ya te he dado la Vida, Llorona… ¿Qué más quieres? ¿Quieres… más?
