13/ No Limits - After the Rain
AFTER THE RAIN
AFTER THE PAIN
AFTER THE RAIN
I SEARCH FOR U INVANE
WHEN THE CLOUDS ARE GONE
AND THE SUN BEGINS TO RISE I
FEEL U SO DEEP INSIDE
I KNOW U TOUCHED ME DEEP INSIDE
AND NOW MEMORIES ARE LEFT
THE PAIN IS WASHED AWAY
AND I… CAN SURRENDER TO YOU NOW
FREE FROM ALL THE HARM
LONELY AND INCOMPLETE
YOU LEFT ME IN MY WORLD OF GRIEF
AND I CAN’T RAISE UP AND WALK
WITHOUT YOU I FEEL SO LOST
AFTER THE RAIN
LOVE ME AGAIN
NEVER LET ME FALL
IN YOUR ARMS I BELONG
AFTER THE RAIN
LOVE ME AGAIN
I DON’T WANT TO FALL
I NEED THE STRENGTH OF OUR EMBRACE
SO CLOSE TO THE END
I THREW THE DICE AND LET MY
FEELINGS FLOW WITH YOURS
OUR LIFE WAS MADE TO BE THE ONE
BUT NOW I’M LONELY AND INCOMPLETE
YOU LEFT ME IN MY WORLD OF GRIEF
AND I CAN’T RAISE UP AND WALK
WITHOUT YOU I FEEL SO LOST
I SUFFER TOO MUCH
I BREATH ONLY PAIN
I JUST WANT YOU BACK
I FALL WITHOUT HOPE
ONLY UNDERSTAND
THAT I’M HALF WITHOUT YOU NOW
AFTER THE RAIN
LOVE ME AGAIN
NEVER LET ME FALL
IN YOUR ARMS I BELONG
AFTER THE RAIN
LOVE ME AGAIN
I DON’T WANT TO FALL
I NEED THE STRENGTH OF OUR EMBRACE
I SUFFER TOO MUCH
I BREATH ONLY PAIN
I JUST WANT YOU BACK
I FALL WITHOUT HOPE
IN A GLOOMY RAINY DAY
WHEN THE RAIN IS POURING DOWN MY FACE
I CAN FEEL YOU CRY
IN EVERY BREEZE I FEEL YOUR BREATH
ONLY MEMORIES ARE LEFT
AND NO PAIN IS WASHED AWAY
I WILL SURRENDER TO IT NOW
I CAN SEE NO HOPE
AFTER THE RAIN
LOVE ME AGAIN
NEVER LET ME FALL
IN YOUR ARMS I BELONG
AFTER THE RAIN
AFTER THE PAIN
AFTER THE RAIN
I SEARCH FOR U INVANE…
AFTER THE RAIN
LOVE ME AGAIN
I DON’T WANT TO FALL
I NEED THE STRENGTH OF OUR EMBRACE
AFTER THE RAIN
AFTER THE PAIN
AFTER THE RAIN
I SEARCH FOR U INVAAANE…
AFTER THE RAIN
AFTER THE PAIN
AFTER THE RAIN
I SEARCH… FOR U…. INVAAANE…
2/ Howard Sinclair - Seven Long Years
It's been seven long years since you left this plane
I still can't believe I won't see your face again
In seven long years quite a lot has changed
But drifting without an anchor still feels very strange
Chorus:
'Cause you were my rock
You were my go to friend
With advice that may shock
But turn out right in the end
And I need you now
More than I ever did before
I need your guidance
Isn't that what fathers are for?
It's been seven long years since you called me Son
I can't tell you how proud I am to be your only one
You taught me so much in those early years
To stand up straight and put aside my fears
Chorus
It's been seven long years since you left that hole
As big as my heart, and twice the size of my soul
Trying to fill it leaves me empty inside
The stars are too high and the water is wide
Chorus
It's been seven long years and still I'm lost
Running headlong through life not stopping to count the cost
A heart full of sadness and a head full of dreams
But without that strong thread I fall apart at the seams
Chorus
9/ XCIII - Still Life
We follow the echoes
Our mumbling and moaning heroes
The screaming faces behind the glass
Escape the daily grind
Dreaming of him as a saviour
When I see him behind the glass
Refrain
He's there, everywhere
Everytime I wake up
All over the room and outside the gloom
He shines, he shines
He never said goodbye
I need to cry
When I see him behind the glass
He's there in April and July
I just pray and apply
When I watch him behind the glass
Refrain
Fix the window and the glint
Squint in the peephole
Never had such few control
Feed me, feed me with more
Refrain
With pictures and snapshots, with movies I look for
Feed me, feed me with more
With fingers and shoulders, with elbows I crave for
Feed me, feed me with more
The constant absurd is delightful and my whore
Feed me, feed me with more
A mouthful of constant abuse I adore
Feed me, feed me with more
6/ ProJJect - Mister B
I would have like to know you good
To know you better than I did
I wish I could have spend some time and play music with you
I would have like to get to you and hang around like friends do
And have a meal and have a beer and have laughing times with you
You had your duties, I had mine
We were not close, we had our everyday life
Time and distance they made the rest
But on the way we knew that somehow we could meet
I’d planned to make you play my song
In fact I had dreamt of it
But I didn’t dare asking you until we really met
Nine Skies live at Prog en Beauce
We met and then we laughed
We talked and in the end
We concluded that I would send you my song
We never knew that we would never meet again
You had your duties, I had mine
And suddenly something had changed in our lives
But still there is your inner light
Shining bright upon us all
I know I’ll often think of you
And call you mate like you used to, oh yes I will
You know I wrote this song for you
I wish I never had
So long mate, I’ll see you somewhere
1/ Riccardo Romano Land - Song for Eric
I don't know where you are, if I'll see you again
maybe it will be in the sky or in a better land
there was a light in your eyes that never changed
and something of you will remain
a stage dress on a chair
a guitar on the stand
nothing will end cause the end is nothing
all the sunsets and dawns, all the beauty of the world
we are dreams, dust from the stars
or the whim of a god
there are men closed in a cage
and men who wrote the last page
I saw you fighting in the dark, mon ami,
against the wind
and nothing will end cause the end is nothing
it was a beautiful trip, it was a beautiful song
music was always so close, you were never alone
and I heard you crying in the rain
but love was louder than pain
when your story will stop,
your legend begins to shine
nothing will end cause the end is nothing
and now here we are in this hour of goodbye
in this coming winter, my friend, your seed is still alive
it's the last bow from the stage,
the last glasses of wine
what you made in your life will echo over time
and nothing will end cause the end is nothing
11/ AchElas - The Last Roar
Verse I :
Regard perdu, en transe;
Indicible souffrance ;
Dédaignant tout espoir ;
Viennent les idées, noires!
Assourdissant silence;
Où dansent les ombres, denses;
Mascarade grotesque ;
Vers un destin funeste !
Chorus :
Avenir incertain ;
Où est le mal, le bien ?
Mensonge ou vérité;
Se sentir perdre pieds!
Muré dans le silence;
Est-ce là la démence ?
Ou perdre toutes raisons ;
Est-ce l'aliénation ?
Verse II :
La mort est elle préférable à cela;
Pour ceux qu'on aime, je ne crois pas !
Comment lutter contre ses démons ;
Il suffit de donner à cette folie, un nom!
Tomber dans les limbes, profondes;
Est-ce là la folie qui me sonde?
Ou est-ce un moyen d'échapper
À cette mort, déjà planifiée !
Chorus :
Avenir incertain ;
Où est le mal, le bien ?
Mensonge ou vérité;
Se sentir perdre pieds!
Muré dans le silence;
Est-ce là la démence ?
Ou perdre toutes raisons ;
Est-ce l'aliénation
Verse I :
Lost in a gaze, in a trance
Creeping suffering
All hopes denying
Food for thoughts, dressed in black they dance
Deafening silence
The thicker the shadows, the longer they loom
Ludicrous mascarade
Onward, to the inevitable doom
The performance is on stage
Chorus :
Uncertain future
Good or evil ?
Truth or dare ?
Feeling the shiver
Cloaked in silence
Wheres the madness
We are all mad here
Is this alienation ?
Verse II :
Should I really chose the bitter end
Maybe you should ask my friend
Fighting these inner demons
Sweet madness I summon
In the darkest limbo I fall
Is it for me this bell you toll?
Is there any way out ?
Or my demise already sorted out ?
Chorus :
Uncertain future
Good or evil ?
Truth or dare ?
Feeling the shiver
Cloaked in silence
Wheres the madness
We are all mad here
Is this alienation ?
