Lyrics

Poison Woman

—-

One is less than two
When two become one
I am half a man
Since you came along
The book of my good deeds
In the library of your needs
I am a fading stream
In the ocean of your dreams

You always left me wanting
But now I want no more
You always kept me waiting
Now my time has gone
Because you’re poison,
poison woman

When we split the blame
You say I can have it all
Said we’re both that kind of people
Who are never wrong

Your sting gave me a fever
And the delusions of this ring
Have turned into a leg chain
And I’m filing through the pain

You always left me wanting
Now I want no more
You always kept me waiting
But now I’m moving on
Because you’re poison,
poison

Now the venom is in me
Like black ink in my bloodstream
And now so much like you
I’m turning into poison too

You always left me wanting
But now I want no more
Infected with your love I’m lying
Halfdead on the floor
Because you’re poison,
poison woman

Worst Enemy
—-

My worst enemy
Don’t think I’m nothing at all
My worst enemy
Is waiting for my fall

He knows exactly how I think
And strikes when I am weak
He shakes my confidence
And works beyond common sense

Once I put him down
With pure success
But I guess I should have known
It was like fuel for his revenge

And then he came back
Stronger than before
I ego got cracked
And my pride got worn and torn

Like Mr. Hyde won’t leave
That Dr. Jekyll be
My worst enemy
Is inside of me

My worst enemy
Lives within me
My worst enemy
My negativity

If you give your little finger
you give your both hands
And you’ll never forgive yourself
For being half of what you can

Your worst enemy
Lives within thee
Your worst enemy
Is the fear that you feed

Our worst enemy
Lives in you and me
Our worst enemy
Our own mind to defeat
The worst enemy

X-Renegade
—-

I regret some of the things that I’ve done
I’m ashamed of the roads that I took
How I wish that I’d seen life differently then
But I was young and it was fun to rebel

I brought tears to so many faces
And soaked folks in my troublesome rain
Then there was the drink
And the fighting as well
And I was thirsty and angry as hell

How I wish that I’d known life better then
But I didn’t think twice what I did
My life is now built on the rules that I bent
The life of an old renegade
The life of an ex-renegade

Memories keep me up in my bed
But I don’t mind staying awake
When the love of my life is sleeping next to me
And a sweet baby girl in between

Sometimes in my stubborn old mind
There are so many things that I find
That would need to be rebelled against
But I keep these thoughts to myself

Some deeds I could have left undone
Some insults I could have left unsaid
How I wish that I had been the one
Who would have seen all the good things instead

Love Will Prevail
—-

In between love and hate
I patiently wait
For the dark clouds to drift away
For bitterness to stop its raining

Love will prevail
Over anger and pain
Love will prevail
‘Cause every moment of hate
Brings us closer to losing life’s game

I saw it on a stranger’s face
I saw it on the broken cityscapes
People getting tired of their own hate
Losing their wars every day

Love will prevail
And the violence will fade
Love will prevail
So be amongst the winners in this game

The neglected ones
The worst criminals
Got raised without it
The cruelest dictators
The Wall Street alligators
Wet their pillows longing for it

Love will prevail
Over fortune and fame
Love will prevail
Remember that we all were
Born to be loved

Lennon-McCartney knew the pace
The California hippies had a trace
Be it universal or be it internal
The time has come to face

Love will prevail
Over time, over change
Love will prevail
And breath its eternal light
To these dusty dark pages of mankind

Shades Of Gray
—-

Trees may dream
And clouds they cry
I think we’re all alike
There’s coal inside
In every form of life
And the silent wind of time

Blows within us
And it all depends
On how you see
From beginning to the end
The shades of gray

Lion is king and deer is prey
And the birds they know their way
Our part is to get in touch
With what the world may say

Animals escaped the tsunami wave
While people stood there and
Were washed away
By muddy ocean’s shades of gray

Then there’s you
And here am I
And in this is our life
In between wrong and right
Like black and white
There’s all the shades of gray

And we sail through the shades of gray
Towards the colors we lost on the way
Through the wind, through the fog and the rain
We’ll see a rainbow at the end of our way through
The shades of gray

Chains Of Solitude
—-

Maybe one day
I will be freed of my pain
Let loose from this weight
I carry within

My heart is a journal
And white are the pages of life
Dark staining the ink
In the notes of time

Maybe one day
I’ll be freed from my pain
And the chains of solitude are then washed away

You’re like the tide
Or a beautiful melody
You come and go
From my mind to my soul

Whenever the downsides
Of this world come by
I let myself wander in
the green forest of your eyes

Guess everyone here
Is alone within oneself
Let family and friends
Take those feelings aside

Keep those close
Who can make the pain go away
Let them step aside
Who invite it to stay

Hymn For A Wanderer
—-

I wish I was a sailor
And saw land from the crow’s nest
I wish I was a carpenter
With my thoughts on a wooden chest

I wish I had that ale in my hand
And someone to fill the cup
I wish I was a drunken man
Whose mind would be numb
If I had had my sword and my shield
I would have killed my enemies
And I curse the king for the promise he gave
These lands will be safe

Once I was a farmer
Living on my land
But now I’m a mere wanderer
Living from hand to hand

Once I had that girl I loved
Her hair danced in the wind
Her smile could cure
The deepest wound
Her heart knew
How to sing
But then they came while
I was away
And burned down everything
What they did to her I see
Every night I sleep
When I lay to sleep

I wish I’ll have god on my side
The holy ghost and the son
I wish I’ll have the moon and stars
I wish I have fortuna
For I’m gathering
All of my strength
And all that is left of me
And on this October night they’ll see
My revenge will be sweet
My revenge it will be sweet
My revenge will be sweet

Thin Line Of Understanding
—-

Something is hidden
In these words that you say
Not fully understanding
The meanings in between
Comforting silence turns
To awkward pause of speech
Those lips were much easier
To kiss than they are to read

Thin line of understanding

Cracks once again
I thought I knew you
But you might be someone else
Life may draw a gap, a canyon between us
But we can choose to walk
On a shaky bridge of love

The distance between us
Like a forsaken jungle road
Once I thought I had
The direct path to your soul
But time it changes you
And time it changes me
And time can make us blind

To all of the things we used to see



Thin line of understanding

Cracks once again
I thought I knew you
But you might be someone else
Life may draw a gap, a canyon between us
But we can choose to walk
On a shaky bridge of love

I see connection go and
Come back like the tide
I trust in what we used to have
It’s only playing seek and hide
When the tribulations
Are finally overcome
The glass bridge between us will turn 
Into solid ground

Thin line of understanding 
Cracks once again
I thought I knew you
But you might be someone else
Life may draw a gap, a canyon between us
But we can choose to walk
On a shaky bridge of love

Up To Us
—-

There are so many things
That I am grateful of
That have come to my life
I have a beautiful daughter and wife
And finally I’ve learned
What love should be like

Is it up to us in the end
What in here will happen
Does destiny play a part
Or Is it up to us right from the start

A few good friends
Have stayed in my life
Some of them I’ve known
Since childhood
Though we don’t see as often as back then
I have learned to appreciate every moment

Is it up to us in the end
What in here will happen
Does destiny play a part
Or is it up to us right from the start

I have made some mistakes in my life
And some of them I’ve tried to correct
But time floats by in the river of your life
And there is no way you can reach back

Is it up to in the end
What in here will happen?
Does destiny play a part
Or is it up to us right from the start?

Dreams Of A Middle-Aged Man
—-

I’ve been dreaming ’bout motorcycles lately
Shiny chrome and engine sizes like crazy
You see Those Harleys and I
Were both born to be wild
But before that I need to diaper my child

Dreams of a middle-aged man
Are as standard as they can be
They’re interrupted by the word from a wife
Taken down by the scream of a child
But they still go on silently inside

Once I dreamed I’m gonna be a rock n’ roll star
Stand with my band on stage and play the guitar
But a 1000 gigs later in the backstage of a stinking bar
I still loved music but wondered what my true dreams are

Dreams of a middle-aged man
Are so hard to realize
When the Harley handles are the diaper’s sides
And that engine roam the blender of my wife
And that biker leather outfit I bought on ebay was two numbers downsized

Maybe some dreams are better left undone
Or when cooked properly medium
They give you something on your mind to hang on
Whenever the days seem to lose their Kodak colorscapes
You have a Disneyland-kind-of-place in your thoughts to escape

Dreams of a middle-aged man
Are best dreamed when awake
They’re sweeter than a marshmallow cake
Free’er than loose balloons in the air
And just as easy to break

I can feel the wind on my thickening hair
I cruise in my leather outfit through the avenue of admiring stares
As the landscapes turn from green to gold
This time I won’t wake and realize that I’m growing old

Dreams of a middle-aged man
Dreams of a middle-aged man
Don’t wake me because I’m dreaming
Don’t wake me because I’m dreaming

Oh, that motorcycle is so sweet and I’m shifting the third gear
I’m riding in Norway the land of the vikings
And I’m heading for Lofoten Islands on a serpentine road
On my left there’s the Geiranger fjord and the turquoise sea
And high up on the right
There’s the Trollstigen mountains in their grays and the greens
I’m gonna ride through there
But do you know what’s the best part when I’m dreaming
The motorcycle engine never breaks
And I never have to wonder which gasoline I need to take
And the police won’t stop you to give you a speeding ticket
There are no traffic jams, speed limits or photo surveillance
And the weather is always nice and there are no mosquitoes in my eyes
And I never get thirsty or hungry or tired or homesick
I look handsome and young in my dream
And I don’t pollute the air while I’m dreaming
And meanwhile my soul is healing
Dreams of a middle-aged Man
Dreams of a middle-aged Man
Dreams of a middle-aged Man
