Here you will find the songlyrics for the album "One more for the road".
Phoenix
Just when I listened to the sound I felt the magic all around.
Phoenix rises once again, their music is a helping hand.
A simple truth
1.
I held my face so low
Shone light but didn’t show
So what I felt was my night
When my companions fell
Just left and didn’t tell
All I could do was just fight
Bridge
In fact you never know
Whether it’s truth or show
And you just try to flee madness
You try to hide yourself
You try to fight yourself
And all you find is just sadness
Chorus
Find me, bind me
Choose me, loose me
Love me, move me
Touch me, groove me
2.
I fought crusades inside
Hunted with deepest pride
But all I found was illusion
When I found out the truth
It cut down all my youth
And raised inside my confusion
3.
You see me walk the line
You hear me talk devine
But all you hear is a cry
I choose a simple truth
And pay it with my youth
That’s the price for asking why
Queen of my heart
I see the tide rising and falling
In a cold world, I hear her calling
And tempests rising in my heart
Though shaken still not torn apart
Cause she’s the queen of my heart
She’s the answer to my sorrow
she’s the queen of my heart
through the darkness I will follow her
A world of shadows getting strong
And all the zombies walking wrong
When my resistance is fading
through the mist a light is wading
Cause she’s the queen…
Even apart we are one
Even if weak we are strong
A cold wind is getting warmer
wounds are healed, life without drama
Erase reality
Erase reality you mindless creeper
erase reality you darkness keeper
erase reality you secret maker
erase reality you holy faker
can‘t you see through the veil of my disguise
can‘t you follow the trail where I despise
and clear words always bear the pain within
will create all the thoughts bout the state I‘m in
so you flee and you hide and you cover deep
without spine you can‘t walk so you have to creep
still the hope on someone keeps you moving on
as the days come and go all your hope is gone
so you make up your mind what is lost you leave
deep inside holding on covered well, decieve
and the time that will come should prove you right
as you wait time goes by, days turn into night
Nevertheless
Did you notice I was wrong: torn apart my love is strong
Kind words didn’t count, to our promise bound
Did you notice what I feel, hidden well in my appeal
Crossed my moment hit my mind, a kind of torture to unwind
Nevertheless I will follow you
Nevertheless you know my love is true
Nevertheless I’m dreaming every night
Nevertheless that you’re holding me tight
With the distance comes the void, rotten dreams as art deployed,
And the structure crucial set, selfreflection met
Darker was my way to live, I pretend what I can give,
If you listen very hard, hear the core depart
See your loving see your pain, see the joy that we could gain,
And the lessons that you learned, nothing you have earned
Bound accustomed and misplaced, fear the message, that I faced
Try to catch a shade that flew, all you see is true
Did you notice I was wrong: torn apart my love is strong
Kind words didn’t count, to our promise bound
Call her
She‘s like the summer breeze
She got me on my knees
She wouldn’t answer me – call her and take a chance
She wouldn’t notice me – call her and take a chance
She is too far to reach – call her and take a chance
I find no words, no speech – call her and take a chance
Why am I insecure
She seems to be so sure
I try to raise my heart
Tearing my core apart
When will I ever learn
How there is love to earn
The wild ride
No one has told me – that the ride would be that wild
No one has told me – I’d be helpless like a child
No one has told me – this world is rotten to the bone
No one has told me – in the end I’d be alone
Born to race I thought the distance is behind
Disturbance, emotion, and danger to unwind
So wrong I judged, the tempest is to face
You stand, you fall, you have to leave this place
I care, I cry, I always knew I’m bound
The urge, the need, no rest was to be found
I fought, despaired and changed myself to light
You know what?
No one…
I dived into deep, to face my deepest threat
I cried, I cursed and found myself instead
So I would dance the fight, the battle is inside
Insanity, my home is guarded by my pride
To do what’s right, I feared I don’t know what to do
To see what’s lost, what’s gone, I had to face, was you
Tried to forget, forgive and tried to let it go
I think that’s life, it seems that life is just a show
I sharped my mind, my wits, and optimized my brain
Only to find that I cannot flee this pain,
so what to do, to think, to tell you if you’d ask
remember pain and tears, to hide them was my task
Why I depended on you, when you just watched me bleed
When I begged you to help, to answer to my need,
You thought I’m done, I’m out, and you should know you’re right
Nevertheless I’m back, my life is payed with pride
Ever Lasting Obvious Youth
I have the right to resist your smile
I have the power to stay a while
But if you asked me what do I feel
Because of pain my heart’s of steel
I let go, I give in, but my heart’s forever torn apart
I let go, I give in, but my heart’s forever broken
It is a fortune being loved,
It is so dangerous being moved
I heard their laughter bout my shattered dream
I see contempt when I pray to steam
I let go…
Ever lasting obvious youth
I found ignorance within my void
I saw the art of love destroyed
A distant dream that shines so bright
And leads me to eternal night
Absurd
I searched myself inside
I fought against my pride
I let the bright light fade
Left it, no hate
To reach the deeper mind
No searching, simply find
And sound the sense of state
Lift it, your fate
And as I watched me fading I couldn’t say good bye
As through the twighlight wading Why not give it a try
And as I heard you calling I thought I heard a word
Prevented me from falling It sounded so absurd
Talked to an inner voice
It sang bout hardest choice
And brought me freedom though
Couldn’t resist
And as my Self returned
Just changed and slightly burned
let my decisions flow
sense I exist
I won't sell my love
lately old Murphy won the lottery
he never really cared much about luxury
he always told he wasn't such a crappy guy
he knew about love and love you cannot buy
when all the neighbours heard about this pretty cash
it very soon was spread so any secrets just were trash
the easy beauty girls soon went after the lad
fast forgotten all things that he ever said
I won't sell my love, not for heavens sake
of course he took the women cause a man is a man
he dreamt the girls in love cause what he wants that he can
his wife wasn't amused and she threw him out
but there was still something in secret that he never dreamt about
when his wife was a young girl she was blue for a boy
the boy went to be priest, so her dreams were just destroyed
so she married his young brother, and she hid the truth
but now her husband left, and she thought about her youth
I won't sell my love
so she went to the church and asked the priest to be hers
the priest just smiled and said that this would be just worse
his true love would be Jesus and his house is his home
so the wife left in tears and she thought that dreams are foam
she went back home and gave up any dream she had
her husband meanwhile lost the girls and money that he had
so he crept back to his woman and she let him in
and he wrote down his own story about to loose what you win
I won't sell my love
A desert called truce
I had disturbing dreams, my world in flames it seems,
I was wrong, my habits are strong.
And when I missed the train, my begging was in vain
No return, I had to burn
I sensed the world in spin, I had to die to win
What a dance, a dark romance
I felt myself abused, the very words, your truth
Changed me to a desert called truce
I changed the system though, it made my sunshine grow
For a while, I walked in style
But as my ego rose, the shiny path I chose
Too blind to see, too numb to flee
my state an empty space, my dream a desert place,
madness sings, I feel its stings
to rescue what was lost, I killed myself almost,
time to break, to stop this fake
So now I walk the line, the desert place is mine
I don’t care bout others stare
And if you see me cry, will you not ask me why
All is well, my private hell
Peace is a decision
Peace is a decision, freedom is a choice,
Time to live our vision, dance and raise your voice.
Kindness is our music, love is our beat,
Come and join our party, answer cold with heat.
I make peace
I woke up in the middle of my life, got a flash, hit the road, I have nowhere to arrive,
Try to fly, better run, never hide and no regrets, we got to live our life
I may fear what’s ahead, what you are is what you get, there’s no time to resist, only have to exist,
You may curse, you may cry, you may suffer asking why, lucky me I’m an idealist.
When I feel that I’m down, watch my plans with a frown, I breath in, I breath out, wonder what’s it all about
Take a break, have a tea, open eyes and try to see, the sense is simply be,
We will rock, we will dance, we will give our peace a chance, raise your heart, be a part of a world made of art
Feel the joy, feel the beat, there’s a sense in the heat, one world and not apart
Politicians and dictators and the guys who think they rule, they ignore and they lie and they treat us as a fool
We will live not discuss, the change comes with us, awareness is our tool
I woke up in the middle of my life, got a flash, hit the road, I have nowhere to arrive,
Try to fly, better run, never hide and no regrets, we got to live our life
Spread
1.
I was taught to control what’s inside
I was forced just to act with my pride
But they could not stop my light
For my freedom I would fight
Think of torture that causes pain
Think of pressure causing a chain
But all slavery was in vain
I would end their reign
CHORUS:
Reach the sky
Don’t ask why
What you feel has to be spread
No regret
Dance instead
What you feel has to be spread
2.
Talked to shadows hiding within
my heart, my soul is filled with sin
but I would calm the tempest inside
I would master the ride
Trouble comes and goes on my way
All impressions are bound to decay
Everlasting warming ray
All the blessing will stay
3.
Bound to answers they don’t wanna hear
Forced to find their darkest fear
Tendencies to rock this life
Until skydancers arrive
I was taught to control what’s inside
I was forced just to act with my pride
But they could not stop my light
For my freedom I would fight
