Who's the king of the souls in the land of gold and fame? Who's the queen of the souls in the reign of grief and pain? I wish for an audience with them I have to ask them today To know if you have regret I walked across all the sands and the roads of the reign I sailed across all the seas and the lakes of this land And I asked the wind like a man And tried to make sense To know if you have regret I didn't find any king nor queen in the reign I didn't find any soul to pray for in this land If I’d see you again I'd follow you through this reign I’m drifting away without faith I’m drifting away without faith

He took his brand new guitar, the catcher on the rye Oh lord and hit the road down under a black sun To never coming back He rolled the east to the west, the idiot got no rest Just a needle in the arm to mesmerize him And never coming back Singing oh let me sleep without her The idiot got no rest, he rolled de east to the west Just cry and sing and watch the starsn on the horizon Oh, to never coming back He saw his best friend hang-a-bye, a needle in his hand Like a lover in the arms of self destruction He'll never coming back He rolled the west to the east to find nothing but debris Just an emptiness inside that grows and grows He'll never coming back He used to get down on his knees and pray Get it out of me, he prays: Lord! Let me sleep without her, let me sleep to die Singing oh let me sleep without her Singing oh come on home

So you say that the truth is the word And the justice will hold it in its sword It's alright I'll put this thing with mine Then you say that a word is enough When it just really means outta love It's alright Would it satisfy your mind? So if you say that your bell doesn't ring And you´re missing that old innocence feel It's alright I'll try to get it back in time And the brightness in your eyes Disappears when you deny Can't read the hand, ain't got no crystal ball But I know that you'll be by my side Oh!, stubborn me, that's all!

Plonkin´ 04:32
Our time's a-runnin' The Wind will take the last leaf left a-blowin' Well let's play plankin' I got no fear, my dear i'll keep a-goin' Before it´s over I´ve gotta kiss the hips that keep my fire a-burnin' I'm only joking Just playing dead before the dead comes on in Maybe when you're sad, or weeping like a child You could remember this oh remember this and smile Remember this, a-playin’ on the streets So quiet, so still, the days we were so young Remember this, oh remember this and smile Oh kill this longing The tunnel is dark, but I can see you in a fit of laughin' Our Time's a-runnin' Oh may our paths cross again one morning

There is a saying where I come from: “Home is where the heart is” So I just keep step And think of all what’s left behind To feel the homesick inside I found dry tears in every town With all the things upside down Nobody can see, they are blind Same old minds I’ll keep you hiding Have to pack my things Now the road and the moon are friends of mine The road and the moon, friends of mine You shouldn't hide your tears You shouldn't hide your fears Before I go Now the road and the moon are friends of mine

Captain, captain wake you up! Ship ain't moving far enough Castaway in the anvil sea Watching the sun going down Water is heavy as an anvil Far away from dryland My darling's sailing up the waters The wind rose withers in my hand Captain captain wake up And watch her ship go bye As I'll stay sitting on the anvil shore I hang my head and cry Stranded in the doldrums Waiting for the wind The wind to come and blow my ship apart
7.
For A While 02:56
Some folks live life like a boredom party Some folks don't try to do what they mind The time is a-coming, the winds of change are blowing But the shine Just appears for a while Some days it remembers the first men on Earth Some days it wonders when will the end arrive Sometimes it will come With the death whispering sweet rhymes But the shine Just appears for a while The shine Just appears for a while When darkness feeds of human hearts It’s not in vain, not in vain, not in vain Some thoughts are built like castles in the sand Some thoughts seem a bunch of evil lies The time will come It won't last forever And the shine will appear for a while The shine Just appears for a while
8.
The River 04:13
I don't wanna go to the river with you, No more We walk down through the forest Yeah we kiss goodbye to each other And as the serpents’ hiss I wish i'm coming home Coming home I don't wanna go to the river with you, No more Our story is almost over But the water'll keep on rolling As your body lies a-floatin' By the shore, By the shore I don't wanna go to the river with you, No more I don't wanna go with you, No more
9.
Rye 03:32
Shake like a whirl all the dreams on my hair Try to remember how i get to this place The walls on this room they move too fast Try to reach the door but i'm tumblin' down oh lord! Come on over, Come on down Come on whiskey, Come on rye Got to come on over with a smile on my face Ethylic labyrinth underneath my brain Fallin’ into pieces into wailing and waste With the sword of Damocles a-shavin’ my beard oh my! Come on over, Come on down Come on whiskey, Come on rye This is the last time, tomorrow i quit Oh! This is last dance with the spirits queen But i hear a voice laughing inside A lie is a lie, so whiskey and rye! Come on rye!

13th Blues 03:07
Got to go Before is cool, Before is wrong Got it cool Before is wrong, Before it's gone Oh the glass is a-here And now is a-gone I feel i'm going wild In my way down to the floor Got to hurry Before is off, Before is sold Not to worry Before is mold, Before is old Thirteenth on the line and money in the hand Have a devil by my side gotta have it till the end
11.
Down on the street on such a lonely row Feelin' the houses shattering in my path A gipsy lady appeared Give her a dime, that was she told to me "Somebody's drinkin' all the carpe diem Somebody is waitin' for you Somebody dreams, somebody prays" She said, she said, she said! "You'd better spread yer lil' wings "You'd better spread yer lil' wings Before you die" Hell morning caught me in the "call" mine As I scratch my back for the big boss benefits Oh when the sybil came in With foggy voice oh she spoke to me "Somebody's drinkin' all the carpe diem Somebody is waitin' for you Somebody dreams, somebody prays" She said, she said, she said! "You'd better spread yer lil' wings "You'd better spread yer lil' wings Before you die" And now I'm rollin' down the road again Tellin' my story to all the folks around Don't ever let them you stop Open your eyes and look outside 'cause "You'd better spread yer lil' wings "You'd better spread yer lil' wings Before you die"

Never thought there was a time to spend with you Now I feel I was down and near to you Sometimes you can see what I may never learn But after all, I got to get to disappear You think of another chance, I know it's taken care But things have changed and now I am aware You can try and think about the things you do I’ll try to find myself while singing out of tune And time forgets I wanted to say Remembering how it passed away I can dance but only without you I felt for time I don't remind Being so sadfull after crime It’s only a Monday, a rainy Monday morning blues The tin boat on the river runs I got to sing you a song And all I want Is to leave you on my own Time forgets the past Some past forgets the time, it’s true But don't you believe the older thing of you And time forgets I wanted to sing Remembering how it passed away I can change but only without you I felt for time I don't remind Being so sadfull after crime It’s only a Monday, a rainy Monday morning blues
13.
Don't shake only the branches, Shake the roots of the tree Shake the damned foundations Of everything you believe Don't expect recognition Don't expect any gift Shake your damned ambitions If you wanna be free Oh don't take nothing for granted Demons are not as they seem When you expect flutes, then it's whistles When you expect whistles, you've been cheated Put your trust in your visions Fight to the end for your dreams A call to arms among armies Partisan heart gotta bleed You're gonna face disillusion You're gonna taste sweet defeat But you must hoist revolution Along blood stained field full of limbs For love is not an excuse, boy Nor hat to play magic tricks Love is a double-edged weapon To conquer the world from within For Devil sneaks in your safe house To take the plunder and leave Devil sneaks in your soul, boy Til’ your damned at his feet Hell'o'hell awaits in the morning Hell'o'hell waiting for thee Hell'o'hell fire and brimstone Hell'o'hell Taste, taste the whip

O Sara 02:11
The rogues ain't go to heaven Rogues they go to hell Shall I go? Oh Sara, shall I go? Mermaids keep on singing Know this song so well Shall I go? Oh Sara, shall I go? The ship hold is on fire Nero's burning rum Shall I go? Oh Sara, shall I go? They’re raising the Jolly Roger... It's time to walk the plank! Shall I go? Oh Sara, shall I go? The rogues ain't go to heaven The mermaids keep on singing The ship hold is on fire And I face the raging waters Shall I go? Oh Sara, shall I go… To hell?
15.
Life's too short to spend it almost mourning The road awaits for ramble, another song to sing waiting for your tongue And if the world is treating you unkindly Let the dudes arrange it, gather all around And pass the bottle to you Let your lights ride on For now we’re bound for glory World’s below your feet A-share another dream Another mountain o’ beer Hear you're are tried, listen up within son Nothing's hard to beat but the sound that hit The beat of your own drum And if you cry, got my shoulder here What deserves a tear may deserve a beer Know the path so well Well if i die i bet you'll keep on laughing Let's make a funeral party and toast for something wild Toast for my return!

Captain, captain wake you up! Ship ain't moving far enough Castaway in the anvil sea Watching the sun going down Water is heavy as an anvil Far away from dryland My darling's sailing up the waters The wind rose withers in my hand Captain captain wake up And watch her ship go bye As I'll stay sitting on the anvil shore I hang my head and cry Stranded in the doldrums Waiting for the wind The wind to come and blow my ship apart
