THE LYRICS
Phoenix
The complete lyrics from the Tiramist second album
PHOENIX
Birds of fire,
Wings of joy
Eye in the sky
Ashes of Glory
Like an angel
Drift away
Through the veil
Of a misty day
I will be gone
I will be done
Your desire
Reaches my soul
Tears me apart
It's like a mortal thought
I see brightness
It comes with eve
Is it the end of my destiny?
I will be gone
I will be done
OPEN SPACES
Open spaces,
Promises of a holy summer
Open spaces,
Waterfalls and tiny houses
I feel alone in merry places
I walk alone in friendly streets
A feel oppressed in open spaces
Open spaces,
Promises of a holy summer
Open spaces,
Waterfalls and tiny houses
I feel alone in merry places
I walk alone in friendly streets
Spaces, spaces...
I feel oppressed in open spaces
I walk alone in empty streets
Spaces, spaces...
I feel alone in merry places
I walk alone in friendly streets
Spaces, spaces...
DARK STORIES
My heart is not one corner shop
To buy some air to breathe
I will never be your shelter
So get away from me
Rain and sorrows fill your morrows
You look beyond the waves
Searching for a place to bury
Your regrets and your blames
Cupid world, tepid world
I'm leaving you for a while.
Cupid world, tepid world
That's why I began to cry
Cupid world, tepid world
Cupid, stupid...
Pick the flowers, climb the towers
Or sit down by the flames
Warm up your soul, burn down your goals
And stand still for a while
When you perceive that you're nothing
For everyone around
You will get closer and closer
To your promised land.
Cupid world, tepid world
I'm leaving you for a while.
Cupid world, tepid world
That's why I began to cry
Cupid world, tepid world
Cupid, stupid...
Rain and sorrows
Fill your morrows
You look beyond the waves
Cupid
A FOX IN MY MIND
There's a fox in my mind
Lusting after you
There's a wolf in my mind
Staring at the moon
There's a fox in my mind
Lusting after you
There's a dog in my mind
Crying for your love
Waiting for a sign
Lying at your feet
Till the end of the night
Waiting for a sign
Longing for your smile
Waiting for a sign
Longing for your smile
There's a rat in my mind
Creeping at your feet
There's a lion in my mind
Enslaved to your weep
There's a cat in my mind
Longing for your hand
There's a boy in my mind
Losing its humanity
Waiting for a sign
Lying at your feet
Till the end of the night
Waiting for a sign
Longing for your smile
Waiting for a sign
Longing for your smile
Don't look at me that way
I'm leaving anyway...
STING LIKE A BEE
Coming from the depths of your eyes
I can see the worst of your heart
I guess...
Through the bloody tears that you cry
I can see your hate
And your wildest wish to die
I don't think like a bee
I don't sing like a bee
I don't buzz like a bee
I don't sting like a bee
Coming from the mist of the clouds
I can see you falling about
I guess
But the secrets of your fake smile
Hide the emptiness of your life
You're not my style
I don't think like a bee
I don't sing like a bee
I don't buzz like a bee
I don't sting like a bee
SEASON'S BLUES
I could compare you to one summer's day
You look so lonely and so delicate
You look so sad
Desperate
Now I know
I know my dear Love
Now I know, I know
I know why
I could compare you to a winter's day
You look so sad and so desperate.
You look so sad
Desperate
Now I know
I know my dear Love
Now I know, I know
I know why
MAYBE I RUN
I run run to be the first of all
I run run to be the last to fall
I run run why do I feel so small
I run run towards a magic wall
Maybe I run
Bravery come to me
Dignity come and see
I threw the dice
Forgot your lies and
Try to keep the balance right
Run run shouting in empty halls
Maybe I run and no one hear my calls
Run run after bitter sweet balls
Cause I know that pride goes before the fall
Run run I’m out of control
Maybe I run 'cause death comes to us all
Don't want to be the worst of all
Maybe my race doesn't make a sense at all.
Maybe I run
Bravery come to me
Dignity come and see
I threw the dice
Forgot your lies and
Try to keep the balance right
AN EVENING WITH SANDIE
Don't spend one minute with Sandie
This girl's not just a fantasy
Don't spend one evening with Sandie
She wants to raise a family
I know it's time
Will you be mine?
It's time!
And now it's time
Will you be mine.
It's time!
Don't spend one second with Sandie
This girl's not what she seems to be
Don't spend one evening with Sandie
She just wants to please her belly
It's time ...
I know it's time
Will you be mine ?
It's time!
And now it's time
Will you be mine.
It's time!
Run away from Sandie
Fly away from Sandie
Swim away from Sandie
Ride away from Sandie
Crawl away from Sandie
Move away from Sandie
I know it's time !
RATS IN A WALL
Side by side
Side by side we're closing in
Closing in
Side by side
Side by side your promises
Hide your fears
As soon you enter the room we disappear
Like rats in a wall we are guessing all your dreams
As soon you turn on the light we’re hiding near
Side by side
Side by side we're snacking cheese
Your brain cheese
As soon you enter the room we disappear
When you are sleeping we'll jump and gnaw your ears
Side by side
Side by side we come to please
Your disease
As soon you enter the room we disappear
Like rats in a wall we are guessing all your dreams
When you are sleeping we'll jump and gnaw your ears
SWIFT AND SHARP
Please don't follow your friends
Get away from their hands
Be swift and sharp, swift and sharp again
You know some of your friends
Are acting like some dead men
So be swift and sharp, swift and sharp again
Can I get away
My friends are calling me
They grab me by the legs
Like friendly zombies
Don't be afraid of every stranger
Stand by my side
Don't be afraid of every danger
Sit by my side and don't worry
Drink to me or, alas
Leave a kiss in my glass
Be swift and sharp, swift and sharp again
Travel with me on Mars
Crossing the fields of strass
And be swift and sharp, swift and sharp again
Can I get away
My friends are calling me
They grab me by the legs
Like friendly zombies
Don't be afraid of every stranger
Stand by my side
Don't be afraid of every danger
Sit by my side and don't worry
Swift and sharp again...
A MAP OF YOUR MIND
Gimme a map of your mind
Leading to your inner thoughts
A spot to build a frame
To fix your hidden pains
A map of your mind
Pathes in a maze
A way to remove
The shadows in your eyes
Give me the key to your heart
I swear you won’t regret
You know you’re not alone
Don‘t vanish into the night
A map of your mind
Pathes in a maze
A way to remove
The shadows in your eyes
Gimme a map of your mind...
Your mind...
CLAWS OF WINTER
She told me I was born
On a cloudy winter day.
I know I’m not a funny boy
But I love you with sincerity
Claws of winter, tears of summer
Are the seasons of my mind
I’m a fancy girl, you’re a little boy,
You couldn’t get a better chance
Claws of Winter
She told me not to cry
As summer passes by
I need another chance
To show her what I feel
She said…
Claws of winter, tears of summer
Are the seasons of my mind
I’m a fancy girl, you’re a little boy,
You couldn’t get a better chance
Claws of Winter
She told me not to cry
As summer passes by
I need another chance
I love you with sincerity
Claws of Winter...
SOMETHING'S WRONG
Darkness is falling on my house
I feel the breath of haunting ghost
The time has come to close my door
Within the torments of my mind
The spider crawls and drink the wine
I’m speechless but the danger grows
Something's wrong in our country now
Something's bad that should not have been told
Something's wrong in our country now
Something's bad that should not have been told
Something's wrong. We've got to fix it now.
Something's dark, everybody's got to remind.
I cannot tell the truth
To please the Time
I've been so unworthy
I never cared to mind
Make sure to wash your hands in milk
Unless you dive in snow and silk
Perhaps your soul will interpose
My eyes should have seen all those tricks
Was I so blind so deaf and sick
To be unable to transpose.
Something's wrong in our country now...
I cannot tell the truth
To please the Time
I've been so unworthy
I never cared to mind
Something's wrong in our country now...
For your ears only
The complete lyrics from the Tiramist debut album
BLEEDING FOR WISDOM
I was wandering through the clouds
When all at once I saw a crowd
There were men at the top of the hill
It was not a military drill
Innocence bleeding for Wisdom, not a place for Angels
Innocents… innocents fighting for Freedom
Not a place for Angels
Innocence… innocence bleeding for Wisdom
I’m a useless Angel
Innocence… innocence bleeding for Wisdom
Not a place for Angels
Many knights were waiting to be killed
Lying naked on those bloody fields
My wings were heavier than the stones
Crashing down to destroy all the thrones
Innocence bleeding for Wisdom, not a place for Angels
Innocence… innocence bleeding for Wisdom
I’m a useless Angel
Innocents… innocents fighting for Freedom
I’m a fallen Angel
Innocence… innocents fighting for Freedom
I’m a fallen Angel
Not a place for Angels
SUNSHINE IN A TEA TREE
Sunshine …
Outside...
Sunshine…
A blazing energy
Outside...
Suddenly released
Sunshine...
From the yelling sky
Guideline...
Feeds the fallen trees
Red Sun shines
Climb in a tree
Stare at the sun
Feel like a bird
Dead Sun shines....
Sunshine…
Life arises
Sideline...
In the wooden hearts
Sunshine…
Springtime is coming back
My spine...
Through the winds of winter
Red Sun shines...
Climb in a tree
Stare at the sun
Feel like a bird
Dead Sun shines....
Sun was hidden in a tea tree
I was trying to catch it safely
Sunshine…
A child is born
Blooddline
A son of ice and fire
Sunshine…
Hide among the tea trees
Deadline
Like a wooden shrine.
Red Sun shines
Climb in a tree
Stare at the sun
Feel like a bird
Dead Sun shines....
Sun was hidden in a tea tree
I was trying to catch it safely
Climb in a tree
Stare at the sun
Shine...
Feel like a bird
SHUT THE BLACK DOOR
Shut the black door
I’m feeling like a dead monkey
Your darkest thoughts
They turned me really crazy
Shut the black door
I don’t wanna be your daisy
Maybe I should leave
This way I could live
Shut the black door
I am feeling like a zombie
Your darkest words
They told me to get up quickly
Shut the black door
I don’t wanna wake up vainly
Maybe I should leave
I don’t wanna hear your words
This way I could live
I don’t wanna be you slave
Maybe I should leave
I just wanna fly away
This way I could live
Shut the black door
I don’t wanna hear your words
Shut the black door
I don’t wanna be you slave
Shut the black door
I just wanna fly away
Where I could live
Maybe I should live
This way I could live
Shut the black door
I am feeling like a banshee
Your darkest notes
I don’t wanna read them I’m free.
Shut the black door
I don’t wanna hear your words
Shut the black door
I don’t wanna be you slave
Shut the black door
I just wanna fly away
Where I could live
INK AND SAND
No sunny holydays
No sandy avenues
Did you ever leave your books?
You never give a chance
To lovely summertimes
In the south of Scandinavia
Here you are on your own again,
Ink & sand flowing in your veins.
I need a gun to free my mind
I need a gun...
It’s bigger than you thought
It’s brighter than the Sun
It’s hidden in the book of sand
It’s bigger than the sky
It’s darker than the night
It’s written with an ink of sand
You’re lying in a nutshell
Driven by a paper sail
You’ll never see the Moon
Spreading its glitter dust
On the dunes of the Sahara.
Here you are on your own again,
Ink & sand blending in your tears.
I need a gun to free my mind
I need a gun...
It’s bigger than you thought
It’s brighter than the Sun
It’s hidden in the book of sand
It’s bigger than the sky
It’s darker than the night
It’s written with an ink of sand
DANCING AMONG THE SHARKS
As I was wandering on the strand
Collecting clouds, collecting shells
I listened to the voice of sirens.
As I was walking on this strand
I heard their voices and their pains
As soon I plunged into the Ocean.
And I told you what it was
And I told you who I am
We’re just dancing among the sharks
We are swimming in a bloody sea
Let the music never stop!
And I told you what it was
To be my friend, to sing my song
We’re just dancing among the sharks
There’s no yellow submarine
You will never save the world
And I told you what I feel
We’re just dancing among the sharks
We are swimming in a bloody sea
Let the music never stop!
And I told you what it was
And I told you what it was
To be my friend, to sing my song
To be my friend, to sing my song
And I told you what it was
And I told you who I am
We’re just dancing among the sharks
But as I swam beneath the waves
Among dead fishes and dead braves
I noticed you moved in slow motion
I told you: “Look this is the end
I’m diving, please, give me your hand
Don’t let me die in troubled waters”.
And I told you what it was
And I told you what it was
And I told you who I am
We’re just dancing among the sharks
We’re swimming in a bloody sea
Let the music never stop!
And I told you what it was...
To be my friend, to sing my song...
We’re just dancing among the sharks
SHEEPS ON MARS
I fly all alone
I fly through the stars
I land on the moon
Then I feel all alone
Where are you now ?
I don’t wanna feel like sheeps on Mars
Where are you now ?
I smile to the lakes
And I smile to the lands
I sing with the birds
But I’m still all alone.
Where are you now ?
I don’t wanna feel like sheeps on Mars
Where are you now ?
Like sheeps on Mars...
Where are you now ?
I don’t wanna feel like sheeps on Mars
Where are you now ?
THE QUESTIONS OF MELODY
My life is but a mess
Cause my love is diving in a maze
She… she sings the song of gods
She reaches the land of illusions
And opens a deadly box
Memories
No one can answer
Memories
I know what you've said
MemoriesMemories
I know what I feel
Her life is but a mess
Memories fade to blue.
I...I sing the song of love
I pray the Gods for delusions
Hidden in a deadly box.

I DON'T LIKE THE WIND
Mine is made of sand
Shines in a land
Of spring and awaking flowers
I don’t like the wind
It cuts…. like a knife
And blows… away the sand.
Fine, I don’t mind
It’s just a kind of trap for amazing powers
I don’t like the sand
It flies… through the storm
And pulls… the city down
Right, I was wrong
He sneaked away
At night though threatening towers
I don’t like the rain
It chills, it chills my old soul
And floats… away the moon
Floats and floats and floats and floats...
SO LATE MY DEAR
It’s…. too late
Too late, it’s too late, please take my hate.
I’ll never be on time…
So late, update my fate.
I've been looking further...
I've been waiting for the...
I’ve been waiting for the storm
Too late, it’s too late, please take my hate.
I’ll never be on time…
So late, update my fate.
I'm late, so late...
I've been looking further...
I've been waiting for the...
I’ve been waiting for the storm
I'll never be on time ....
It’s…. too late
SNOWY SUNDAY
I was walking on
I was walking on
Walking on a a snowy Sunday
Snow, snow is falling all around, anywhere...
I was walking on
I was walking on
Walking on a a snowy Sunday
Blood is flowing... will you cry, little girl?
Footsteps in the snow
Snowflakes and blood
A deadly track
A broken doll
I was walking on
I was walking on
Walking on a a snowy Sunday
Snow, snow is falling all around, anywhere...
Blood, blood is flowing...
Footsteps in the snow
Snowflakes and blood
A deadly track
A broken doll
BLUE RAIN IN MY HOUSE
I was awake
Down by a lake
I was a snake
Ready to bite
I was afraid
Locked in a cake
Like a headache
Brought by a fly
I’ve got blue rain in my house
I was awake
Taking a break
I wanted to take
A better smile
I was afraid 'cause the rain was an alien
I was afraid by a daisy, a fly...
I was afraid
How could I fake ?
This curious drake
Was my ally.
I’ve got blue rain... in my house
I was awake
Taking a break
I wanted to take
A better smile
I was afraid 'cause the rain was an alien
I was afraid by a daisy, a fly...
I was afraid
How could I fake ?
This curious drake
Was my ally.
I was afraid 'cause the rain was an alien
I was afraid by a daisy, a fly...
I’ve got blue rain... in my house
I was awake
Burned at the stake
For devil’s sake
Shouting: “Banzaï”!
I was afraid 'cause the rain was an alien
I was afraid by a daisy, a fly...
I was afraid
Was I a maid
Becoming the slave
Of barbarian’s arms?
I’ve got blue rain... in my house
Taking a break in a better smile
I’ve got blue rain... in my house
in a better smile
I’ve got blue rain in my house
THE LAST COIN OF Mr J.
My last coin
My very last coin
My last chance
My god I lost it!
I had a coin inside my heart
I had a single penny …
I had a coin inside my heart
Oh, I wanna feel...
I wanna be your golden boy !
Holy coin, holy coin
Holy, holy, holy coin !
Gold and silver
Please get out of my mind
My last coin
My very last coin
My last chance
My god I lost it!
I had a coin inside my heart
I had a single penny …
I had a coin inside my heart
Oh, I wanna feel...
I wanna be your golden boy !
Holy coin, holy coin
Holy, holy, holy coin !
Gold and silver
Please get out of my mind
Gold and silver
I’ll never reach your shrine.
GHOST HIGHWAY
I loose my time on a Ghost Highway
I loose my mind on a Ghost Highway
I loose my time on a Ghost Highway
I loose my mind on a Ghost Highway
Empty sky
Disturbing shadows
Beyond the white line
I loose my time on a Ghost Highway
I loose my mind on a Ghost Highway
I loose my time on a Ghost Highway
I loose my mind on a Ghost Highway
Disturbing shadows
Hollow shapes
Do not brake on the ghost highway.
Don't look at the sideways.
I loose my time on a Ghost Highway
I loose my mind on a Ghost Highway
I loose my time on a Ghost Highway
I loose my mind on a Ghost Highway
Do not brake on the ghost highway.
Don't look at the sideways.
Ghost Highway
