April 03:29
April started cold With winds whistling a melody And that song that keeps going through my mind Insisting on remind me of the good times And that song that keeps going through my mind Insisting on remind me April ended up empty With the silence reciting poetry It's only a matter of time Lack of brakes And willingness to stay on course Just follow the signs Fill the tank And not look back And not look back And that song that keeps going through my mind Insisting on remind me of the good times And that song that keeps going through my mind Insisting on remind me

Feet of stone They never feared the road In my backpack the memories of home The lights of trucks Warm me when it? s cold Behind me the footprints grow Behind me the footprints grow Not a single tear drops Even when I pretend to be sad Stop now Coffee break Take a time to take a breath Roll the compass Let it stop I have the entire world to cross Stop now Coffee break Take a time to take a breath Roll the compass Let it stop I have the entire world to cross And not a single tear drops Roll the compass Let it stop Each new face I see along the way Show the marks of a world betrayed But my feet of stone Never feared the road Behind me the footprints grow In my backpack the memories of home Not a single tear drops Even when I pretend to be sad

Black Sheep 02:53
Immoral, incorrect and undervalued Your terms are lower than your fame I like my sanity, so I learned to read I learned to read all the small prints You have no power over me I bet my chances, I'll play your game From now on I'll be known as the black sheep as the black sheep, as the black sheep I bet against your brain I'll beat you in your own game And once in your life you will face And once in your life you will face the failure Bridge If it's to bring this shit, then stay away Don't throw on me false ideologies I bet against your brain I'll beat you in your own game (From now on I'll be known as the black sheep as the black sheep, as the black sheep) And once in your life you will be facing (From now on I'll be known as the black sheep as the black sheep, as the black sheep) And once in your life face the black sheep

Something new Something changed Kiss of the death on the cheek When you're different no one cares (Waiting for your fall) They are waiting for your fall (Waiting for your fall) Took some time to feel and realize Need to live it all Moving along Moving along, hard times to believe in life But I'll live it all Pass it along! Something new Something changed Now I know I gotta make it (Waiting for your fall) Took some time to feel and realize Need to live it all Moving along Moving along, hard times to believe in life But I'll live it all Pass it along! Our prosperity put a doubt in the way they live their lives Me and you, Bonnie and Clyde Me and you, Bonnie and Clyde Yeah we are living it all Yeah we are living it all Yeah we are living it all Need to move along Yeah we are living it all Yeah we are living it all Yeah we are living it all Need to move along Something new Something changed Now I know I gotta make it Something new Something changed

The faith that should release Is the faith that repress The options given to you Were pre-selected Polar bears with it? s antennae Provoke disasters What you think is what you really want? The war for domination is more and more invisible Have you met someone affected by the last plagues? The war for domination is more and more invisible Tanks are no longer seen The weapons are being changed New bombs are no longer created But the battle is the same Whose side are you on? Choose before it's too late Whose side are you on? What you think is what you really want? The war for domination is more and more invisible Have you met someone affected by the last plagues? The war for domination is more and more invisible

This is a story of a man who stared at goats And was beloved by his sons One day he found a way for his golden dreams and then she came to my room all dressed in red put a letter in the desk asking me to relax "Sign here and you'll be remembered even when you're gone Dorian, now you are the king of the world" She left with my soul There's nothing left to love but me Who will hear me crying out for Jesus Christ? In sickness and in health, the oath was made No regrets are allowed Now he misses things that money cannot buy I wanna give up to sell, please call me a priest To send her back to hell and bring back the time missed "It's to late my dear, now you go everywhere with me Dorian now is not the time to run" She left with my soul There's nothing left to love but me Who will hear me crying out for Jesus Christ? Dorian would you do it again? Dorian would you do it again? She ended with my world She left with my soul There's nothing left to love but me Who will here me crying out for Jesus Christ?

Between lines we insist to dig hoping to find a hole to breathe cause I always think on me as you think on you I always think on me as you think on you I always think on me Is it better leave? Our time wasted and briefed in broken glass Our time is up and we still are in the starting line We keep going around We keep going around until our fuel ignites Between lines we insist to dig hoping to find a hole to breathe cause I always think on me as you think on you I always think on me as you think on you I always think on me Is it better leave? It takes time, courage and sweat And a large trash to forget what it hurts Our time wasted and briefed in broken glass Our time is up and we still are in the starting line We keep going around We keep going around until our fuel ignites We may die trying but we shall live fighting

Voiceless 02:17
Drag your things you're ashamed In your back I've found the weight Of a world about to break Living in lies, moving with chains There's no excuse to drain our pain Staring grey eyes, robbers of faith Under the flag? s shadow of our fate How many times? The question that moves The blind under those iron trees I cannot wait! Until the time makes it disappear All the political songs I've heard from The voiceless that still stand Will you grab their hands? Will you try some changes? Just for one more trophy they're cutting all the strings Guided by all the greed That makes men disappear Just for one more trophy they're cutting all the strings Guided by all the greed Guided by all the greed That makes men disappear What could I do? The question that moves you To the land of the confusion You better say That you were always afraid But you've heard all the songs from The voiceless that still stand Will you grab their hands? Will you try your changes? Just for one more trophy they're cutting all the strings Guided by all the greed That makes men disappear Just for one more trophy they're cutting all the strings Guided by all the greed Guided by all the greed That makes men disappear

Marked Cards 03:01
She always gets what she wants How could you get out? Shut up 'cause you want too How could you get out? When the others say That you went too far forgetting who you are It's just a game of marked cards She always gets what she wants How could you get out? Shut up 'cause you want too How could you get out? When the others say That you went too far forgetting who you are It's just a game of marked cards

Can you understand How much the words have value to me? How much the words have value to me? And if it means nothing in your world How could you understand? How could you understand? I? m suffocating between all the promises and deals That will never become real No matter how much I believe But you? re never tired of playing with people? s lives I could spit in your face If you ever face me Sell to someone else The city of dreams that you are building Draining our hope with your speeches But if it means nothing in your word How could you understand? How could you understand? I? m suffocating between all the promises and deals That will never become real No matter how much I believe But you? re never tired of playing with people lives I could spit in your face If you ever face me (If you ever face me) I can read your eyes (If you ever face me) I can see your lies (If you ever face me) Shut your mouth I? m suffocating between all the promises and deals That will never become real No matter how much I believe But you? re never tired of playing with people lives I could spit in your face If you ever face me If you ever face me If you ever face me

Stop pressing me! I'm not so strong as you think Sometimes I feel like I? m wearing a mask on face I did bad things Just before you arrive And I don't guess you would forgive Here comes the question What happens next? I hope you learn the lesson And hold tight with me Here comes the pressure But life still goes on I hope you learn a the lesson And hold tight with me Here lies the doubts Between our happiness And the world I have to find out It's just a matter of time Until our "happily ever after" Or until we kill our freedom for a dream
