  • prologue

    Higher altitude is measuring how bad a fall isspilling consequences of a vantage point into the sea

    Soaring mortar is towering a memory this shadow falls down oating over the ocean

    Sore hands building the elds to carry on vain little things heard in between

    Sour thoughts, fears of the wind winter coming home above the clouds and little seen

    All that could falterI conceal in stoneAll that could failI stu inside them wallsgazing lowstaring low

    Air getting thinnerClimbing on alone on the wallWind growing meanerA tower growing talla little more

    Monument to behold / bracing the songFell on

    waved to the otherdaring to go on

    a little more, all alone

    Monument to behold / cracking of stoneFell on

    down just because I canon my own, but with all that I am

    Asking the questionWheres it I was wrong(Am I wrong?)Weak foundationFrayed minds it borea little more

  • They sense the agony, the sensibilities and the fears, sneering at contemporary mans complacency,

    entrapment and illusion of fake self-sufficiency, suggesting escape routes through reevaluations

    and redefinitions. They attempt to escape the past catering for endurance for the present and

    resistance for the future.

    Take me far away

    If life has always been your everlasting fearJust get clear, shed no tear

    If thunderstorm sounds like a whisper in your earsWatch your spear disappear

    Take me far away, cause my heart wont waitTheres no word to say, just take me far away

    My soul is pleading for a sign in this silent celebration

    Wheres the old romance we had?Lets flow down the misty riverbed

    There must be a better place to stayPlease take me far away

  • The co-existence and alternation of silences, tensions and flares, the alternations and co-existence

    of the sounds harshness and the voices depth, - everything leads to an unexpected end.

  • 6 Dont Cry

    While you help me breathe

    Your smile's a storm within

    Come closer, please don't cry

    Move slower, don't say goodbye

    Who will justify

    If we'll sing a lullaby

    Come closer, please don't cry

    Cross over, give it a try

    Love is what you'll find

    But you drove inside your mind

    Come closer, please don't cry

    Pull over, nothing to hide

    Lead vocals: Thomas Petrou - Lyrics: Alessio Kontodimos

  • 7 You and meWondering if the stars in the sky

    Are bleeding as we are here tonight

    On my face there's a scar that's my trade

    Endless race, but the roads always fade

    You and me, never met before

    If that's a lie, then I'll come for more

    You and me, waited for so long

    Try or die, they never get it wrong

    Concentrate, there's no time to complain

    Join the game, some mistakes are not vain

    All I want is to nd a place where my love can growAll I need is to put out your face from my mind once more

    All I long is to follow the trace you left there to showAll I get is to run in a race where no one will go

    All I wish is to bring out the ace you're hiding so longAll I ask is some elbow space before I explode

    Child please hold me, wild sea ows inInside glow, fade out my love

    Child please hold me, wild sea ows inInside glow, untied crow, no more sorrow
