[offset:0]
[00:44.86]The nightingale is still locked in the cage
[00:50.61]The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs
[00:56.11]An old oak sheltering me from the blue
[01:01.66]Sun bathing on it's dead frozen leaves
[01:07.21]A catnap in the ghost town of my heart
[01:12.51]She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts
[01:18.21]Of mermaids, of whitman's and the ride
[01:23.56]Raving harlequins, gigantic toys
[01:29.41]A song of me a song in need
[01:32.26]Of a courageous symphony
[01:35.41]A verse of me a verse in need
[01:38.71]Of a pure heart singing me to peace
[01:41.96]All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
[01:44.96]All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
[01:51.31]All that great heart lying still
[01:55.52]In silent suffering
[01:58.57]Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
[02:03.37]What is left for encore
[02:04.82]Is the same old dead boy's song
[02:08.12]Sung in silence
[02:10.07]All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
[02:12.98]All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
[02:27.03]A midnight flight into Covington woods
[02:32.48]a princess and a panther by m side
[02:38.03]these are territories I live for
[02:43.38]I'd still give mt everything to love you more
[02:48.98]A song of me a song in need
[02:51.93]Of a courageous symphony
[02:54.99]A verse of me a verse in need
[02:58.19]Of a pure heart singing me to peace
[03:01.69]All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
[03:04.84]All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
[03:10.84]All that great heart lying still
[03:15.34]In silent suffering
[03:18.39]Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
[03:22.94]What is left for encore
[03:24.54]Is the same old dead boy's song
[03:28.01]Sung in silence
[03:29.91]All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
[03:32.86]All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
[04:01.03]3. Piano Black
[04:03.98]A silent symphony
[04:16.37]A hollow opus #1, 2, 3
[04:29.62]Sometimes the sky is piano black
[04:42.37]Piano black over cleansing waters
[04:53.87]Resting pipes, verse of bore
[05:06.72]Rusting keys without a door
[05:19.57]Sometimes the within is piano black
[05:31.97]Piano black over cleansing waters
[06:11.93]All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
[06:18.37]All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
[06:45.42]4. Love
[07:07.77]I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street,
[07:11.82]With a begging bowl in his shaking hand.
[07:14.57]Trying to smile but hurting infinitely. Nobody notices.
[07:21.47]I do, but walk by.
[07:26.97]An old man gets naked and kisses a model doll in his attic
[07:31.72]It's half-light and he's in tears.
[07:34.82]When he finally comes his eyes are cascading.
[07:40.02]I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me.
[07:45.37]All pride has left his wild drooling eyes.
[07:48.82]I wish I had my leg to spare.
[07:54.87]A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars.
[07:58.97]She's never loved him more.
[08:02.27]An obese girl enters an elevator with me.
[08:05.97]All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck.
[08:11.02]Terribly sweet perfume deafens me.
[08:14.52]She's going to dinner alone.
[08:17.92]That makes her even more beautiful.
[08:21.57]I see a model's face on a brick wall.
[08:24.17]A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill.
[08:31.37]A city that worships flesh.
[08:47.37]The first thing I ever heard was a wandering
[08:50.17]Man telling his story
[08:53.22]It was you, the grass under my bare feet
[08:57.57]The campfire in the dead of night
[09:01.12]The heavenly black of sky and sea
[09:05.97]It was us
[09:07.82]Roaming the rainy roads, combing the gilded beaches
[09:14.22]Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
[09:19.05]Bathing in places no-one's seen before
[09:24.37]Shipwrecked on some matte-painted island
[09:28.42]Clad in nothing but the surf - beauty's finest robe
[09:37.62]Beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the breath of nature
[09:43.87]In early air of the dawn of life
[09:47.17]A sight to silence the heavens
[09:54.17]I want to travel where life travels,
[09:56.81]Following it's permanent lead
[09:59.21]Where the air tastes like snow music
[10:02.31]Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden
[10:06.11]I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
[10:11.39]I would bathe in a world of sensation
[10:14.54]Love, goodness and simplicity
[10:20.14](while violated and imprisoned by technology)
[10:27.53]The thought of my family's graves was the only moment
[10:30.38]I used to experience true love
[10:33.43]That love remains infinite,
[10:35.68]As I'll never be the man my father is
[10:40.58]How can you be yourself
[10:43.23]When you don't know who you are?
[10:45.23]Stop saying know how you feel
[10:47.63]How could anyone know how another feels?
[10:52.63]Who am I to judge a priest, beggar,
[10:55.33]W**re, politician, wrongdoer?
[11:00.48]I am, you are, all of them already
[11:16.53]Dear child, stop working, go play
[11:20.93]Forget every rule
[11:23.88]There's no fear in a dream
[11:28.48]there a village inside this snowflake?
[11:33.03]- a child asked me
[11:36.78]the colour of our lullaby?
[11:41.44]I've never been so close to truth as then
[11:46.54]I touched it's silver lining
[11:54.84]Death is the winner in any war
[11:58.26]Nothing noble in dying for your religion
[12:01.05]For your country
[12:02.80]For ideology, for faith
[12:05.85]For another man, yes
[12:17.40]Paper is dead without words
[12:20.05]Ink idle without a poem
[12:22.75]All the world dead without stories
[12:25.95]Without love and disarming beauty
[12:32.65]Careless realism costs souls
[12:37.93]Ever seen the lord smile?
[12:41.08]All the care for the world made beautiful a sad man?
[12:45.13]Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
[12:49.53]Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
[12:52.58]All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
[13:02.33]I see all those empty cradles and wonder
[13:05.98]If man will never change
[13:08.68]I, too, wish to be a decent manboy but all i am
[13:14.31]Is smoke and mirrors
[13:17.36]Still given everything, may i be deserving
[13:22.92]And there forever remains the change from G to E minor
