1. CELESTE

(Instrumental)


2. WELCOME TO MY HOUSE

You started rich now feeding pigs
Just eating peas while old friends flees
You need new oil you need more gas
When you've got none there's one who has
Through all the noise I hear a voice
Welcome to my house
Sit down relax now
You are back inside of my house
It's hard to know whose friend or foe
When all goes grey it's hard to say
Fools reach high and good men dies
What is correct, what gains respect?


3. TASTE OF GRAPES

Swim across the lake, but avoid the snakes
Even if they bite, don't give them right
Defend yourself
Defend your soul
Don't let the snakes
Eat you whole
It started out fine
Then somewhere along the line Love turned pervert
All vessels have been hurt
Have been hurt
Carnival carnal love
Bent out of shape
Hear jesters laughter
Taste bitter
Taste of grapes
Human flesh for sale
Chained spirits in this jail, lost in single cells
Though to God we've turned yet still we can be burned
Cuts like knife into our common life


4. THE BURNING SPEAR

Touch the sky reach out high
Try to grasp the burning spear
Go and meet your fellowman
You can catch it hand in hand
Under heavy pressure no one seems to know what to do
We need a new way out an exit to hope
A move in the heart a touch in the soul
A hope that is yours gets ready to go
A move in the heart a touch in the soul
Try to get near the burning spear
Now it's here, in your mind do divine
What your future has in store
Taste a sip of this wine and you will come back for more


5. RENDEZ-VOUS (NEW VERSION)

Where you there together with the crowd?
Have you heard he rose into a cloud?
A barren cross is all I see
An empty grave convinces me
And open heaven waits for us
Hey look out for the rendez-vous, he's coming back
What a rendez-vous
He'll return just as he said
He'll come back and it makes me glad


6. RIGHT TO BE WRONG

Like a ship built for sea that never left the shore that's me
Cast off and let go if I never try the waves I won't know
Like to grope for the handle with no match to light my candle
Or to walk on the edge on the thin end of a wedge
As long as I don't trample down someone else to the ground
In the heat I might be burned through the fire I will learn
Like a bird meant to fly that never left the nest to try
If I don't loose my grip I will never start this trip
Can feel wind in my hair can feel hope out in the air
Cut the ropes cut the strings that so long have bound my wings
Give me right, right to be wrong
Add more fuel to the fire and the smoke will rise up higher
To the one who can see the days that awaits for me
Load the ship and loose the moores with you on board I can afford
To make mistakes and yet survive to lose myself and win my life


7. FAKIN' MY FACE (NEW VERSION)

The way I act tells me something is going on
My reactions they show me that something's wrong
The way I feel doesn't please me nor them around my emotions are turning me upside down
I'm fakin' my fave days under cover
Hiding the pain rolling inside
I'm struggling in waves of thoughts that haunt me
My heart bleeds on my lips there's a smile
Fakin' my face, hiding the pain I bear two voices inside me and both speak loud
I've got a door right behind me but no way out
I feel the heat moving slowly inside my chest
Something burst and I don't know
Just what comes first?


8. CAN'T HOLD BACK MY TEARS

Little children playing at Manila garbage dump
Got no home to go to
Sleeping outside on a cold and chilly winter night
Got no home to go to
My heart tells me no
And I can't hold back my tears
Hold back
Hold back my tears
Lonely parent got so many hungry mouths to feed
Don't know what to do
Leave their children out to walk hungry in the streets
Don't know what to do


9. WHEN I FALL

When I was bad then he was good
He loved me more than I understand
When I was down he picked me up
To the brim he filled my cup
With love and mercy and with empathy
When nothing good I could produce
He washed my feet and then once again
He took me back in his use
Again have to thank you once again
The way of love I cannot go
When I'm walking outside his flow
He's the one who leads the flock
He's the only rock
When I fall
He lifts me up again
When I was out he tuned me in
He forgave me all my sins
Down on my knees had given up
To the brim he filled my cup
I have no wish to wake his wrath
I want to walk on the righteous path
I'm on the road again I know
He's the only rock


10. HOW FAR CAN WE GO?

I think of the man in the oven surrounded by licking flames
I think of the modern idols and how many souls they've maimed
Erected like high stone pillars and worshiped by chanting hordes arranged by a madman's scepter to serve under cruel lords
How far can we go
What brought us here?
Can we go?
I think of the X-generation at altars of forgery deceived to bone and marrow and nowhere on earth to flee
We live on the eve of destruction among all fallen stars we watch in the age of seduction the fall of our darkened hearts
Just open your daily papers and headlines will scream out another den in hell that we didn't know about
How much can this world take of guilt from the human race how much will my shoulders carry the day I shall see his face
Stop this dance around the golden calf
Wake from the trance that tears our world apart
Take his hands lay them on your heart
Watch the strain lift like a lark


11. CLOAK OF LOVE

I've had enough of this bluff of these messy impacts
Hey, first things first quench my thirst
Rinse this bad taste from my mouth
Let's speak clear let us hear more than words can say
Let's pray and make way for the day when our hope returns
In a shaky world on a bumpy road
In a lack of words with infected load
Cure, cure my eyes from the lies
I have seen around me
Give me new strength to survive
In the days that waits ahead
Looming threats lifetime debts guilt's
That never was repaid
Come again and again
Until someone pays them
Arrayed in a robe of righteousness
I'm clothed in a cloak of love
Lift my feet higher lift them up
From this mud and mire
Show me the fords where to walk so to meet my Lord


12. LOVE IS OVER ME

Can't you see it all of us are chasing love longing for acceptance for a touch from above
Calm down and just relax be the one you are in front of my masters' face you'll do as you are
Love is ooh...
Love is over me
Shaman rhythms pulsating in the dance reeling masses raving into trance
