---------------------------------------- Dedicated to Monica

I’m collapsing, breaking down
silently onto the ground
above me the azure sky
the last thing I see in my life
a swallow makes a little cry
as I look up for the last time
there won’t be a miracle
there’s really nothing more to come

and all metaphysical
unmasks itself now
did we have each other enough
did we connect deep enough

I’m collapsing, just now
falling without a sound
an orange sunbeam on the rye
the last thing I see in my life
and noone’s even bothered
wether I even worked
or felt something like happiness
as I lose out on this heart attack

and all metaphysical
unmasks itself now
did we have each other enough

did we connect deep enough

----------------------------------------------------La strada non presa

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

The night, presaged by a dying sun
The life and times of ascent and fall
The dance has commenced in the fading glow
A wall of pitch for the dying of light
Protect us
Keep us from all that would harm
Encircle, encompass, guard over us all
Give up, give in
Light the night on fire
It sears, it derides and it leads us to fall
Walk on, walk through imitations of hell
The movement
The rhythm
The drums from afar
The guilty are hanging from the killing tree
The cries from the depths in unison sing
Forgotten, abandoned, graceless and scorned
Pleading unheeded
The millions unknown
Walk on, walk on till dawn has come
The relentless unceasing of a million calls
I know you too well and I know you by name
I fought you, I defeated you time and again
I endure, I resist what's killing me
An image invoked like a visage of hell
Submit to temptation taunting my soul
Unlock these restraints
Oh save us all
Hold on, hold on till dawn has come
Endure and persist
No mercy without
The world in it's slumber has time on its side
Safe, unaware in a million dreams
Love joins
Love unites
Love breaks us apart
The power to conquer here in our hearts
Enduring and sacred
Eternal as time
For love, love alone will conquer all
