Hunting The Light

Darkness is all around
Covers it all and swallows any sound
In between the shades, down on her knees
I see a woman, what is it that she needs?
In her hands she hides and protects
Her little secret, her precious secret
In her hands she hides and protects
The spark that starts the fire
The spark that brings the light
She is hunting the light, hunting
Hunting the light, hunting
Hunting the light, hunting
Hunting for anything that shines bright
And the red moon tells her he’s not too far away
The red moon tells her he’s not too far away
Believe him when he says he’s not too far away
Not too far away, not too far away
The woman in the shades unfolds her hands
To reveal the spark and to put it in her heart
She lifts her head to look me in the eyes
With eyes made of fire, with eyes made of light
She raises her voice: Where are your sparks?
Where is your light? For what do you fight?
Together we can bring light into anything
With the sparks that we share the light is everywhere
She is hunting the light, hunting
Hunting the light, hunting
Hunting the light, hunting
Hunting for anything that shines bright
And the red moon tells her he’s not too far away
The red moon tells her he’s not too far away
Believe him when he says he’s not too far away
Not too far away, not too far away
Hunting the light
She is hunting the light
She is hunting the light
We are hunting the light

Come Closer

Come closer, closer to me
Come closer, what do you see?
What appears, if you find yourself next to me?
Come closer, don’t hesitate
Come closer, why do you wait?
Step inside, there’s no need, no need to be afraid
Now as you’re here
I start to run, run, run
Just as you’re here
I’ll be gone, gone, gone
Come closer, don’t go away
Come closer, come on and stay
Come join me and follow me through night and day
Come trust me and share your thoughts
Come love me and meet my heart
Come to me and let’s see if we give it a start
Now as you’re here
I start to run, run, run
Just as you’re here
I’ll be gone, gone, gone
Now you finally need me, I run, run away
Now you finally love me, it scares me away
Now you finally need me, I run, run away
Now you finally love me, it scares me
It scares me away…
Oh away
Now as you’re here
I start to run, run, run
Just as you’re here
I’ll be gone, gone, gone

Lover Of War
04:42
|
|

Bombs are falling, guns are firing
Warlords are claiming mine to be theirs
Homes are burning of those who are trying
To escape what is turning their root into ruin
People are fighting for so called religious redemption
Without regarding I believe what I believe
Could you imagine that my neighbors are Muslim
And my husband is Jewish and maybe I’m atheist
Still the rebel is searching for riot
And the pacifist is seeking for peace
And the preacher is claiming his kingdom of God
While the infidel argues against
And the lover of war has nothing to do
But to sit and to wait
Hate and suspicion feed themselves
With the differences on which we insist
Money is laughing, it’s the winner of everything
Has the power of dividing, here the poor, there the rich man
What is the reason why they live in division?
Is the poor just resigning, while the rich is enriching?
What is your intention to live on this planet?
Have you always been dreaming of the guns you are firing?
Let’s get together as brothers and sisters
Let’s share the pleasure, we are not different from one another
But still the rebel is searching for riot
And the pacifist is seeking for peace
And the preacher is claiming his kingdom of God
While the infidel argues against
And the lover of war has nothing to do
But to sit and to wait
Hate and suspicion feed themselves
With the differences on which we insist

Independence
04:49

In the morning I wake up
Alone
I drink my coffee and brush my hair
And put on the dress that I like most
Damn I like to be me, it feels oh, so free
To start this brand new day
I choose where to go, I choose what to do
Just because I don’t need you
Now you got my independence
Now you got it, how do you feel?
Now I go out and celebrate where I once was used to sit and wait
For you coming home oh so late
How does it feel, it’s inside out you sit at home wondering about
Where your girl is messing around
It feels oh so good things are how they should
I’m on my way, I’m on my own
Got my life in my hands, I no longer play defense
But baby I’m sure I will come home
Now you got my independence
Now you got it, how do you feel?

Guilty (live)
04:33
|
|

I feel fine with the rain that falls
To clean the air, to clean the sins
What I have done cannot be forgiven
What I have done has no apologies
I took your heart, I took your freedom
To keep it with me, to make you mine
I dragged you to my kingdom
For me it was just fine
It is maybe just fair, that what I once loved
Has changed to be so painful, has changed to be so painful
It seems to be the charge if you fall to love, there is
No certainty, no guarantee, you might lose it all
I took your heart, I took your freedom
To keep it with me, to make you mine
I dragged you to my kingdom
For me it was just fine
But you raised your voice against me
And shouted out so proud
Fighting for your freedom
Fighting for your life
You and your freedom are walking hand in hand
Sighing with relief to have escaped again
And I keep waiting, I keep waiting
For the rain, for the rain, for the rain
To dry my tears

Celebrate Life
05:52
|
|

My lungs are filled with air
I took a breath on top of a snow-white mountain
My eyes they caught an image
I saw the sun rising so warm and so golden
And my ears they still remember
The whispering waves at the shore
Where my feet have left their footprints
Oh, I need to come back to leave more
Uuh uuh uh…
Oh, oh, let’s celebrate, celebrate
Let’s celebrate life
This forest makes me calm
I sit here and wait until my mind is empty
Nothing makes more sense
Than these trees that grow, oh so slowly
Out of the trees a bird is calling
Springtime begins with a song
Come, come bird spread your wings now
Up in the sky you belong
Uuh uuh uh…
Oh, oh, let’s celebrate, celebrate
Let’s celebrate life
