Tame the Night

Remember 03:53
Do you remember when we’d look beyond each other’s eyes Each second, a clean slate where new adventures would arise Do you remember? The film rolled by, We tried to freeze the time but failed to catch the tide Let us be immersed in the art of living It’s who we are And then, one day, We grew up tall away from all that we were Leaving the child behind So we could reach the skies But we forgot to fly Do you remember? You and me, sitting underneath the apple tree You and me, sharing endless days throughout the spring Each day, just breathe Let the feeling fill yourself Wake up, heart of a child, Take your turn to grace You and me, sitting underneath the apple tree You and me, sharing endless days throughout the spring Do you remember?

Masquerade 02:56
I’ve been looking for inventions In this masquerade of life I’ve been searching for directions Only to find, that I’d lost sight of my path I’ve been longing for a new dimension To give color and shape and to bring a new light But I learned that through my expectations I couldn’t see what was in front of me And now you’re here The only one my heart longs to see And now each river runs its course I’ve been giving myself explanations Blindfolded my eyes, believed my own lies But when you reached my destination I could not resist rising to the occasion A device of my own creation These monsters and shadows, they seemed so real After all the fear and frustration, they robbed me so But you came and made them go And now you’re here The only one my heart longs to see And to be so found inside your grounds That I can let go and get lost Forever more

Eyes to Sea 04:52
Oh, I hear a sacred voice Calling me beyond this shore All I hear and all I feel The sweetest longing of love’s tears That draw the current of my being Dissolving me right into sea Enter in this cave inside Where words dance in story lines The endless pages of this book Tell the tales of love anew Sprouting from a barren land The timeless blossom of the heart Has started All the way across the seas I will drown myself to be Part of you, you part of me Navigating silently We’re cruising on, no journey’s end Anchored in each other’s breath Oh, this feeling is so clear Screaming out for us to hear Fire, fire, burn me deep Till I know myself to be Part of you, you part of me Swinging on a solar string Oh, this fire of creation Molded us in sweet perfection Harmony was born for us To carve the sculpture of our heart Along the way, along the fight The weightless grace of love has come All the way to us

One, two, three One, two, three One, two, three…and one One, is the name of true revelation Two, is the fault and hence, no redemption By three…it’s a waltz Between two opposing forces One, two, three.. One, weary instance, you got me lost Two, are the days that love came aboard And three are the chances I gave You lost at three, and now you’re gone, gone, gone CHORUS: So then all went wrong And the waltz we once sang Became a funeral march One, two, three.. One, is the day that you promised heaven With your two, deceiving eyes Lies, lies, many more than three times… Now you’re gone, gone, gone, gone

Little Voice 03:43
Once upon a time There was a voice that was food to my soul There were soft guitars There were stars exploding like fireworks But then there came oblivion The dream swallowers came Dressed in smoke Once upon a time There was a voice that was fuel to my faults Oh, so loud and strange I listened to the paradigm it created On its back it wrapped me up On a train of despair I was kidnapped Little voice, please come into my world Little voice please shelter me from harm little voice please, I still hear you you’re the one that I love and adore Once, I had to choose I had to see in me a chance for life

Ground Zero 03:51
I know you’re guarded I know you’ve been hurt And you, you must have known I’ve been jaded and lost I’ve been through a lot of discoveries That led me to nothing and so I am just where we started Ground zero, I miss you, don’t know how to reach you We’re going in circles, just to be doing the waltz Let’s us hold hands and rejoice in the fact That we’re sitting here together Like two silly drunks This is the point in the story Where you sweep me off my feet You jump on a plane and confess How hard living is without me Distance unseen and an ocean between But this is just how we started Ground zero, I miss you, don’t know how to reach you We’re going in circles, just to be doing the waltz Let’s us hold hands and rejoice in the fact That we’re sitting here together Like two silly drunks Memories will not let go Our heart strings are more like a rope That bind us in spite of this world

Son de Mar 03:37
Oh, son de mar, que lindo eschuchar tu voz Entre la corriente y el alboroto Oh, son de mar, dejame sentir tu ritmo Dentro del vaivén llegamos tu y yo En una botella que lleva mi nombre Como una pluma, volando entre las olas Llegando a Gibraltar Navego en mi rumbo al despertar En una botella que lleva mi nombre Como una pluma, volando entre las olas Llegando a Gibraltar Navego en mi rumbo al despertar Translation: Oh, song of sea, how sweet, to listen to your voice, Between the current and the motion. Oh, song of sea, Let me feel your rhythm, You and I arrive within the ebb and flow. In a bottle that carries my name Like a feather, flying through the waves, arriving in Gibraltar I sail on my journey to awakening.

Tame the night with its own magic light If you wanna win, gotta make it from inside You dreamers, you drifters, architects of time, rise and shine To taste existence Take the blindfold off, this mundane perception don’t belong To you, you… And I fought most of the time, and I know that the road turns are wicked and trite But a fall won’t prevent me from keeping the sight Of my love, that awaits on the other side Well, he tamed me now…never thought this lion roar would subside, He knows how to win, makes my heart sing and sleep in peace You dreamers, you drifters, architects of time, paint yourselves alive To taste existence Take the blindfold off, this mundane perception don’t belong To you, you… And I fought most of the time, and I know that the road turns are wicked and trite But a fall won’t prevent me from keeping the sight Of my love, that awaits on the other side
9.
When the lights are coming out and the wicked witches growl I will make no fearing sound for the wind to reveal me out And I want to, and I need to face my fears in the dark and I want to, and I need to face the music and dance When the lights are coming out and the moaning loonies shout I will call my midnight owl and the wind will help me out And I want to, and I need to face my fears in the dark and I want to, and I need to face the music and dance When frustration settles in Instead of receiving it And taking it in.. Bounce it back against those walls No matter what they say, The light is yours When the voices of darkness get loud Out of control, wrecking havoc Creating doubt Oh..All I say is Look at the Love That manifests with every step of your chosen road
10.
Mr. Green 03:40
Never wrote a song ‘bout love before Never thought such love was possible So let me attempt to, take it for what it’s worth Read between the lines Help me through my words If I stumble and fall No worries at all I’ll rise above, to you, my love When you lay your eyes on me There’s nowhere to hide That gorgeous green shoots through my skin Straight into my butterflies Embrace the fear, it’s just a shadow Caress and kiss, protect our bubble, We’re submerged into each other You… How we lose ourselves into each other, oh, We’re like magnets, feels so good To let go Let’s go flying, let us glide Take me with you, by your side, I wanna be there ‘til the day is through You…

Wintersong 04:50
The stars are shaking, The snow has covered them all The wind caresses the leaves that managed to hang on Just like I managed to weather this snowstorm Out in the cold with my feet bare like stone Lighting the fire has kept me warm Icicles couldn’t capture my soul The street is dark but a glow emerges from you No heart is empty, no hand unshaken tonight Winter is here but so is the magic Unfolding with each falling flake The noise of the world put aside for a new sound Icicles couldn’t capture my soul (Nanananana-nananana) My heart was broken but grace has glued it back on The chill erases but seeds awaken below (Nanananana-nananana) Winter is here but so is the magic Icicles couldn’t capture my soul
