First things first
Ima say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been
The way that things have been
Second things second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea
The master of my sea
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove
Your spirit up above
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins
The blood in my veins
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Here Again
Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Lower the curtain down in Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
And it's something quite peculiar
Something that's shimmering and white
It leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight

Alone by Edgar Allan Poe
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—

あなたが恋しいよ。
She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smile and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one.
They're saying,
"Mamma never loved her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
She's saying
I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined.
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
Just saying
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
(hold on... hold on...)
Mamma never loved her much
And Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
Just saying
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Tradita da una storia finita
E di fronte a te l’ennesima salita
Nessuno che ti possa ascoltare
Che divida con te i tuoi guai
Rimani come sei
Insegui il tuo destino
Perche tutto il dolore che hai dentro
Non potrai mai cancellare il tuo cammino
Che la storia di ogni nostro minuto
Appartiene soltanto a noi
Ma se ancora resterai
Persa senza una ragione
In un mare di perchè
E nel silenzio troverai le parole
Chiudi gli occhi e poi tu lasciati andare
Prova a arrivare dentro il pianeta del cuore
Qual è la cosa giusta da fare
Se ti batte nella testa un’emozione
L’orgoglio che ti piglia
Le notti in cui il rimorso ti sveglia
Per la paura di sbagliare
Senza stelle da seguire
Tu non rinunciare mai
Fai quel che dice anche se fa soffrire
Chiudi gli occhi e poi tu lasciati andare
Prova a volare oltre questo dolore
Non ti ingannerai
Se ascolti il tuo cuore
Apri le braccia quasi fino a toccare
Ogni mano, ogni speranza, ogni sogno che vuoi
Perche poi ti porterà fino al cuore di ognuno di noi
Prova a volare dentro il pianeta del cuore
Do do do dov’e il pianeta del cuore
Tu tu tu dentro il pianeta del cuore...

Cosas...
only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams
pass before my eyes, a curiosity.
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song
just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind.
Now, don't hang on
nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind (all we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind (everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind...
The wind...

Hiel
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure.
Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he's feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He'll just sail on.
How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
These days drift on inside a fog
It's thick and suffocating
This seeking life outside its hell
Inside intoxicating
He's run aground like his life
Water much too shallow
Slipping fast down with his ship
Fading in the shadows
Now a castaway
They've all gone away
They've gone away.
How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me
Why can't I forgive me?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever.
How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
So how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

вещи ... что-нибудь
What I thought wasn't mine
Was one of a kind,
A precious pearl
When I wanted to cry
I couldn't cause I
Wasn't allowed.
Gomennasai for everything
Gomennasai, I know I let you down
Gomennasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now.
What I thought wasn't all
So innocent
Was a delicate doll
Of porcelain
When I wanted to call you
And ask you for help
I stopped myself.
Gomennasai for everything
Gomennasai, I know I let you down
Gomennasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now.
What I thought was a dream
A mirage
Was as real as it seemed
A privilege
When I wanted to tell you
I made a mistake
I walked away.
Gomennasai, for everything
Gomennasai, Gomennasai,
I never needed a friend,
Like I do now.
Gomennasai, I let you down
Gomennasai, Gomennasai, Gomennasai,
Gomennasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now.

“Cabalgamos por el mundo en busca de fortuna y de placeres. Más siempre atrás nos ladran. Ladran con fuerza…
Quisieran los perros del potrero por siempre acompañarnos. Pero sus estridentes ladridos sólo son señal de que cabalgamos.”
Es toda magia
Y que un duende
Te invita a soñar.
Apenas he parado
Y tengo la impresión
De divagar.
Y yo estoy tan solo
Y no me arrepiento
De lo de ayer.
Si las estrellas te iluminan
Y te sirven de guía
Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas
Que nadie te puede tocar.
Pasan rápidas las horas
Y este cuarto no para
De menguar.
Tanta charla por aquí
Si fuera posible escapar
De este lugar.
Y yo estoy tan solo
Y no me arrepiento
De lo de ayer.
Y te sirven de guía
Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas
Que nadie te puede tocar.

Ilusión...
Without the Loneliness—
I'm so accustomed to my Fate—
Perhaps the Other—Peace—
Would interrupt the Dark—
And crowd the little Room—
Too scant—by Cubits—to contain
The Sacrament—of Him—
I am not used to Hope—
It might intrude upon—
Its sweet parade—blaspheme the place—
Ordained to Suffering—
It might be easier
To fail—with Land in Sight—
Than gain—My Blue Peninsula—
To perish—of Delight—

Tout peut changer
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you wanna be, ohh
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality.
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free.
I'm the smiling face of your TV, ohh
I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you; still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three, ohh
I'm the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi, ohh
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality.
When a leader speaks, that leader dies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set you free.
I'm every person you need to be, ohh
I'm the cult of personality
I am the cult of
Personality.

疲れたぁ・・・
Lovers are in pain
They blame and pick on each other
You play melodies of love
Forgotten phrases
Tender and sweet.
Come a little bit closer
Don't stay in the shadows my boy
(La la la la la la la)
The melody's fading...
Now or never, love will go.
I'll be there by your side
Share your fears in the silent
Redemption
Touch my lips, hold me tight
Live in vanity for a while.
As winter melts in the sun
Boys will be out running and reaching for the light
Oh mother please find me in that place
Before the memories tear us into pieces.
Clinging to affection, we somehow do learn to live
(La la la la la la la)
In endless motion
Never coming back, love will go.
You'll be there by my side
You may never know my devotion
Feel my breath in the quiet night
Live in vanity for ever.
Won't you feel my gentle emotion
Let us live in peace with conviction
If you're here please hold me...
I'll be there by your side
Share your fears in the silent
Redemption
Touch my lips, hold me tight
Live in vanity for a while.
You'll be there by my side
You may never know my devotion
Feel my breath in the quiet night
Live in vanity for ever.

I Have Plenty of Heart
Today I am, I don’t know how,
today I have no friends,
today the only things I have is the desire
to rip out my heart by the roots
and stick it underneath a shoe.
today is the day of crying in my kingdom,
depression unloads in my chest
a depressed heavy metal.
looking at knives with affection,
and I remember that friendly ax,
and all I think about is the tallest steeples
and making a fatal leap serenely.
my heart would write a suicide note,
a note I carry hidden there,
I would make an inkwell out of my heart,
a fountain of syllables, and good-byes and gifts,
and you stay here I’d say to the world.
and it weighs more than all the joys together.
and I can’t lift them anymore.
How unsatisfied my eyes are?
Cut off this pain?—who has the scissors?
suffering for everything,
my heart is a sad goldfish bowl,
a pen of dying nightingales.
I who have a bigger heart than anyone,
and having that, I am the bitterest also.
Translation by Robert Bly.

Advising myself...
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control.
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control.
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else.
In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of yesterday.
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try.
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
In a moment, everything can change.

What do you see?
And go back to sleep.
I won't let the boogeyman come.
Countin' bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums.
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble.
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums.
Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you, like I do, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep.
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come.
To the rhythm of the war drums.
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble.
Head down, go to sleep
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
A will to survive and a voice of reason.
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself.
Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.
The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming.
Keep your head down, go to sleep
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
I'll hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son,
Go back to sleep.

Poem by Elizabeth
Hostile shadows that it moves
Going here and there
In a wailing ocean
Without finding escape.
The sun and the moon
Have no relevance
For a mournful body
Disguised of...
What's this?
What's the name given to people?
Which megalomaniac entity belong
All these words and all these things?
Traveling in a universe of nothingness
A non existent traveling
Draw the fantasy you want
And delineate your needs.
Irregular encounter
About being and nonbeing
A dream without dream
And time falling down...
Do it already
And don't look behind
Forget why
Forget the afterlife...
But winter rain remains here
Sometimes for days, sometimes for years
And finally, everything is
Much ado about nothing indeed.

♦ Stratovarius ♦
Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams
I’ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me
I’ve walked the shores of Avalon, I’ve seen the seasons change
I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve lived and died, but only on the page.
Now all I have, all I am
All I ever was is here, on the page
It’s all the same, it never mattered anyway
It’s all a lie so let it burn.
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
As the light of last candle flickers away
If the story is over, this chapter my last
Let it be my best one, let it be my own.
I hope it’s not too late to learn to live and learn to love
I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender dark
For I never drew the sword from stone, there’s no Helen in my Troy
I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into the void.
Come night, test my will, test my soul
Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
Make me strong, make me whole again and
Guide through the dark till the morning comes.
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
As the light of last candle flickers away
If the story is over, this chapter my last
Let it be my best one, let it be my own.

理解・・・じゃない。
in this deception commanding,
disposing of, reigning, ruling,
And the applause, thus on loan received
so gets in the wind written.
And in ashes Death
will turn him - great disgrace!
Who will dare so to govern
seeing himself come awake
to the sorry dream of Death?
which more care and comfort yields him;
the poor one dreams that he suffers
his sheer misery and poverty.
Dreams he who to live begins,
and he who toils and pretends,
and he who grieves and offends
and in the world, in conclusion,
they all thus what they are dream
although no one will so see it.
with these chains and prisons burdened
yet I dreamt that I in other,
more fulsome state saw myself.
What is life? A frantic moment,
What is life? But an illusion,
but a shadow, but a fiction,
and the greatest good is small:
for life is all but a dream
and dreams are just that, they're dreams."

Thoughts ~
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
