Jah Will Is My Destiny
03:07
|
|||
|
I’ll fall like a star and get burned in the atmosphere
I’ll stream like a river and melt my body in the sea
This is my will if this is my destiny
And if this is Jah will, then this is my destiny
I’ll run like a rocket and go up to the outer space
Or better I’ll lay like a leaf and blow in the autumn wind

Black Pearl

|
are two hours enough to hold and kiss you like I do?
I'm trying
are two hours enough to know you and hold you like I do?
I'm trying
are two hours enough to know you and miss you like I do?
I'm crying
but if you are a black pearl am I strong enough to find you?
and if you are a black pearl is there air enough to swallow?
and if you are a black pearl am I man enough to hold you?

Oh, it gets so hard to be with me the way you think
Lover it's always hard to be in my dreams as Belle did
do you agree?
well all that you have left is just a 7.20€ bill
I didn't mean to make you cry
but Jah knows what you do
therefore your life is coming out and you're walking safe and sound
all that I gave you was just words of faith
all that you have got was just some words of consciousness
do you agree?
well all that I got back is just a 7.20€ bill
I didn't mean to make you cry
but Jah knows what you do
therefore your life is coming out and you're walking safe and sound

Love Is An Eternal Lie
03:13
|
|||
|
love is an eternal lie
that you always try to forget and forgive
but love has a smell so divine
when you get what you give
but when it goes wrong check what you've been looking for
and when it goes wrong it makes you wanna die
I need you right here to show me a way to feel home
and to break free and live
well you, have you become so cold or are you damn so close
that I just cannot breathe?
you've gone away
and seasons will change, from your wounds you will feel no pain
and I will blow away
and details of your every shame with time will really disappear
you were a part of my life
I will never deny what you've given to me
well I can be called as you like
I am not gonna hide from the pain that you feel

Dirt On Coffins

|
I heard the awful sound of dirt on coffins
according to your works you'll get paid
some of dem fool and some are wise
some of we black and some are white
but there's no reason to fuss and fight
according to your works you get paid
well I know that thousand doves
came tonight to bring you with
so fare thee well and please take care
according to your works you'll get paid
well I know you'll never dance alone

The Song For Myself

|
new year's eve: how many hours have you been dancing?
now you're free: but tell me do you really feel happy?
'cause you're not better than any other one
so mind your faith and mind your thought
mind your dos and mind your don'ts
'cause you're not better than any other one
feel this breeze: that's the wind that makes you feel useless
now you're free: but tell me do you really feel happy?
'cause you're not better than any other one
was it so hard to do?
was it so hard to wait?
and every morning when the sun comes up
I've seen you waking up with such a joyful face
and every evening when the sun goes down
I bet you're smiling in the pouring rain
