harmonica

tonight every soul
should be alone
remembering all sorrows
leaving the mind behind

fading distant roses
eyes don´t cry
moonlight feeling empty
pleasure´s gone away.

julia

oh julia
this is my last word for you
this is my last smile for you
the stars are fading with you
the moon won´t take me any longer

but i won´t follow you
even my sorrow is still painful
this is my war
i´ll fight it without you
you can´t reach me
never

this is what you told me
to go my way
to live my dreams
i will not follow you
even my sorrow is still painful

we live in different worlds
the wall between is too high
you can´t reach me

don´t go into my darkness
where you come from
i still love you

but there´s no chance for us
you don´t want to follow me
i will not follow you

both too proud
you can´t reach me.

talk with an angel

there was no angel
i could talk to.

don´t go outside

icecold emotions laughter everywhere
you walk on an empty road
the stars you can´t reach
but you´re trying to
don´t miss your lonely way
don´t go outside

lonelyness around you
laughter everywhere
you walk on an empty road
dark thoughts inside you
you can´t overcome
they can´t understand you but don´t cry
don´t go outside

you see the light
from the outside
you´re trying to get there
don´t go outside

the daily routine
you can´t overcome
you walk on an empty road
icecold emotions
laughter everywhere
don´t miss your lonely way
don´t go outside

caught in your mind
you must go your way
you walk on an empty road
the stars you want to reach
someday you will do
don´t miss your lonely way
just stay outside.

something went wrong.

so fern so nah

du quälst mich betrügst mich und
verliebst dich doch nicht in mich
ich sag´ dir nicht was ich will
denn ich spür´ es wär zu viel
denn mein ist die zeit
die ich nicht für dich hab´
vergaß ich mich im rausch
warst du so fern so nah

und so bitt´ ich um den letzten augenblick
als unsre lippen sich berührten
und ich halt ihn fest ganz fest
wie das bild das ich einst von dir schuf
und an meine seele gab
verblieb es dort während
du dich von mir fortbewegtest und
die zeit ganz still an uns vorüber schlich
so bleibt mir die einsamkeit
zu sagen was ich will
doch du kannst mich nicht hören
die verbindung ist zu still

was bleibt ist die ewigkeit.

playing t.v. - l.v.

my room is dirty
dust on the wardrobe
my window has no curtain
and cold breath moves through

but i hear a violin playing

i look through my window
a young girl is standing on the street
and next to her an old man
with a hat in his hand

and a young girl is playing the violin

nobody listens to hear
she always plays the song of rain
and looks down on the street
how the raindrops fall.

silent night

a car is passing by the street
it´s light is reflecting in the wet wall
the gun on the back dust on his feet
the soldier is marching on the pavement

too cold for me
darkness is fear

in the distance falling bombs
flashing lights are burning my eyes
crying women running over tombs
tears on my cheeks

too cold for me
darkness is fear
too cold for me

hold me tight
in silent night

between the helmets a child naked
watching with wide eyes
holding her knees
whispering words
so quietly

it´s got to cold for me
in my little room
i can´t turn myself
to the little child
how i am to close my eyes
not to see
the blood in her hands

the soldier is levelling
aiming with swetting hands
listening to the bullets making noise
a rose on the child´s heart
red coloured like blood
she closing her eyes
and whispering:

dust on my feet
blood in my hands
tears in my eyes
in silent night.

p. t-a²

(we had so much to do
now you are gone i´m sorry
too)

peace all the time
and what they do is
pray to their god who is gone
didn´t want to die
he left our hearts
suffered from humanity
no piece of paradise he couldn´t rescue
so i came from another world
destroying my life
and the more i got the more
i lost of my love
i got a heart of stone colder than death
dying would be easy but my love would not last

this is my war
i´m sending a
prayer to angel

damn the religions who
lose themselves in hypocrisy
what should i believe in
an old man in white
robe who´s dying soon
i remember what i´ve
learned what was told me
so i came from another world
destroying my life
the more i see the more i
lose my belief in what i´ve learned
what i loved
dying would be easy.
