Lyrics

Listen to this

A master went one day by the river to meditate and pray
A drowning scorpion in the waters moved his heart to say
I cannot leave this creature to its death
I’ll plunge to save its life before its late
Ah, the scorpion,
Stung him once it had been saved
Ah, the master,
Smiled and went back to pray

Holy one, is this ungrateful creature worth your while
Such a one cannot deserve compassion, cried someone

Listen to this, the wild are born to kill and to sting
he said
Listen to this, the wise are born to save and forgive
he said
Until one day from these troubled waters
They’ll rise as friends

The master went to pray by the river, the very next day
The same drowning scorpion in the waters
moved his heart to say
I cannot leave this creature to its death
there is no better prayer than to save
Ah, the scorpion, stung the holy one again
Ah, the master, smiled and went back to pray

There

There fly the mountains
There breaths the air
There waits the magic
There rests what is to come

Let the wild river flow
Let the white horses go
And they’ll all be there waiting
When I’ll see you
Then we’ll be what is true
You will see I am you
And the last clouds of Maya
Will be lifted

There dwell the masters
There silence meets the song
There names are stolen
There death is life unveiled

Cosmic prayer

Hail the Holy
Hail their Glory
Hail the Father
Hail the Mother
Hail the Holy Son

Hail the Holy
Hail their Glory
Hail to Krishna
Hail to Buddha
Hail to Jesus Chris

Your breath, Your Holy breath
Glorifies all of your names
Your Holy breath within my breath
Sanctifies all of your names

Hail Govinda
Hail Gopala
Hail to Kali
Hail to Rama
Hail to Hanumman

Hail to Durga
Hail to Shiva
Hail to Krishna
Hail to Buddha
Hail to Jesus Christ

Candle moods

Let me tell you what I learned from searching peoples souls
I heard words like peace and love and humbleness composed
under a candle light
But when dawn broke out nobody cared if tears had gone
from his neighbour’s eyes
So I learned that knives go deeper from your best friend’s hand
That truth cannot be composed like words under a candle light
Yet, there are some things that make me think
that after all its not so sad
it isn’t people that are bad
its just that candle lights must fade
when dawn breaks out

Colours of my mind

Colours of my mind
arise
time has come
Body of my past
at last
I need you not

For there’s a sea that flows
and a wind that blows
and they both carve the rock that surrenders
I do too

Singer of the soul
I’ll be
just like I must
witness of my goal
I am
and nothing more

For there’s a sea that flows
and a wind that blows
and they both carve the rock that surrenders
I do too

China

I hear the earth calling
seedwinds blowing from within
the rain has washed away the waiting
and the desert will bloom
I hear the earth calling
Kun shall be my name
I’ll lay under the heaven
and wait for you

I see your light dawning
winged dragons riding in
the sword designed the form on air
and mind creates spring
I see your sun rising
Ch’ien shall be your name
you’ll hunt me by enchantment
and then we’ll take each other deep

Moon child

Nobody knows where she came from
she carries a light when you see her 
trespassing your limits whenever she smiles
She puts a wall between you and desire
soaking your world with devotion
showing you options
saving what’s worth to be saved

Need to take her
Need to bare her in my womb
Want to bathe her
in the brightness of the moon
just to tell her……………..

Everything about her is rare
Uncommonly beautiful
Undeclared………….

Need to take her
Need to bare her in my womb

The Voice Within

Sing a song of love now

In my heart there is danger
Love brings pain and freedom

Sing a song of love now

I take love and danger
I take pain and freedom

Sing a song of love
Now

Easter at home

Easter at home
These people pray all of the sudden
and it makes me laugh
it makes me cry
Easter at home
A cross comes down from then winter closet
and the idols parade
well polished

While the daisies dance and the poppies fill the valley
and the breeze welcomes the spring
That’s not the god, we want to ease our pain
nor can he stop our folly, our endless sin

Easter at home
is every day but how to tell them
there’s a resurrection every dawn
a crucifixion every sunset
Easter at home
A man of truth becomes a super-god
impossible to reach
a good excuse to sin

The change

And the change came
dreams are on sale
it makes you say
I’ll change my name
I’ll discount my terms
humble boy
whose decision is that?
was your audience too tough

Stay, don’t run away
take a look at your hell
if the gods take it
you surely can
you surely can

And the change came
the glitter is pale
It makes you say
I’ll buy me some land
got to withdraw from the crowd
humble boy
whose decision is that?
to be a looser is tough

Stay, don’t run away
you’ve been born on cement
if the earth takes it
you surely can
you surely can

Love’s loveless side

No room for breathing
suffocation in the dark
No room for breathing
I’m sinking
I’m stuck
I know you love me enough to make me die
I turn into a nothing in your arms

Don’t you know it’s a crime
what you call
Love
All you need, all you want
you call love
All you need, all you want
gives you the right
To grab me, stab me
Grab me, stab me

I know the reason
we stick side by side
it is a symptom
a form of suicide
People who gather
really divide
a private cosa nostra
love’s loveless side

Power

Invisible enemy loose in the streets
after our brain
spelling our needs

Power the world’s on fire

Do you hear the shouting
do you hear the cries
killing is thriving
not only by guns
Do you see the reason
behind all that greed
don’t blame it on treason
or mankind’s genes

Power the world’s on fire
Power your drug ran tired
Can’t convince

If I had an answer it would be a fake
We need a new language to communicate
All I can do is watch
I’m not allowed to touch

The treaty was broken
right from the start
we’ve got but our knowing
to do what is right
There are no commanders
to give a command
They are killing each other
the show is running out

Power best selling serial
Power we cannot hear ya
We can’t hear
We can’t hear

If I had an answer it would be a fake (etc.)

Somewhere

Somewhere on this earth
you are waiting
and if I’ll have to walk a million miles
I’ll walk some more

Just to touch, touch, touch your soul
reach my goal
watch my true transparent form
Oh, I’m half way there

Somewhere on this earth
I’ll find you
and if I’ll have to die
a million deaths
I’ll die some more

Just to touch, touch, touch your soul
reach my goal
watch my true transparent form
You know I’m half way there

The well

I look at your face and see no sweetness in your lines
Oh, baby how much,
I loved to dress your this face with a million shades and colours

I don’t know
I don’t know
whose well is depth-less mine or yours
but we don’t seem to fill each other up
never enough
we seem to pour onto each other our love
oh will we ever surrender

I can exist much longer without the illusion of sex
but much, much less without the one of tenderness
I don’t know, I don’t know
whose well is depth-less etc.

More than once

Baby in my life
I’ve been loved many times
But if you could see me
lost in pain every time time
For not knowing that the hunting has nothing to do with love
and the eager and the greedy
More than once, more than once
More than once, have empty hands

Baby, I’ve been sleeping
on an empty bed all my life
watching others sharing something
something I could never have

My Name is Fedayeen

Unveil your face my love, kiss me goodbye for I must die tomorrow
Invaders from the sky are shedding now our blood across the desert
They want our sacred land so what if sacrifice this body
Dawn is rising fast hold me in your arms be proud of me my darling

Allah has called me
The world will know me
My name is Fedayeen

Got to accept your fate
Fate cannot be escaped
Got to accept your fate
Fate………………

With your tiny hands tie across my heart the explosives now my darling
With the will of god my death will shame the enemy tomorrow
Wipe your tears now, protect our son, tell his father’s story
In ‘sh’ Allah my love someday we’ll live in paradise together

Allah has called me
The world will know me
My name is Fedayeen

Got to accept your fate
Fate cannot be escaped, etc.
