Silver Feathers

Silver Feathers

 

 

Silver feathers in iron birds

Like perfect singing in poor tunes

They glide in wrong directions

They drop in empty lagoons

 

They're singing silent with shallow words

Just minds which cease to look for joy

They pour a rain, a rain of feathers

Big silver feathers left to destroy

 

Unhappy words leave golden peaks

These birds are far off on their route

Like empty trains with no directions

Just waiting for someone who'll shoot

 

But they’ve no place here or there

They'll never find what they need

Now oxide covers their iron bodies

A tear falls, they've start to bleed

Fly

Pretending

Pretending

 

 

By late hours he sits and waits

Wrapped up in cold and sadness

Waiting for the church bell to sing at twelve

Waiting for pure darkness

 

Leaning against a wall, staring at his feet

Memories swimming in his head

Thinking of the things he kept to himself,

All of the tears he did not shed

 

Too weak to stand up and face the truth,

He keeps on living in a lie

Faking a new smile for each person passing near

Pretending he still wants to feel alive

 

And this is how he lives his life

This poor man with nothing left to give

Day after day seeing couples pass by

Sharing all the love he never received

 

All of his dreams seem to have fallen apart

His wishes, flown away

Each second steeling what's left of his hope

Every single colour, now seems to be grey

 

How he wishes time would pass quickly,

Spare him all the sadness and fears

He wishes life would be shorter

Just prays for his end to be near

 

Every day, just like the last one

Still lonely, sitting by this wall

Seeing couples, friends and families

And at night, waiting for the church bell's call

 

But he knows that one day,

He will write his own ending

He knows death will remember him someday

That day, when he's done with pretending

La Angostura Snow Sessions

A Shadow amongst Black Light

A Shadow amongst Black Light

Laying down my head,

 Hope is gone

Running down through endless corridors,

Sadness is all I own

 

Standing in my own company

My plead sounds low

Sinking every second,

Nobody there to hear my call

 

My world, one nightmare

And yours, a dream

No longer linked by any feeling

Love to be unseen

 

Reaching out for light,

Open doors shut close

You, my one way out,

 Now in this other world you’ve chose

 

Blinded to my presence,

Deaf to my every word

Crying for forgiveness

 Is no longer an escape

 

A white shadow is all there is left for me

A shadow glowing in the dark

Not to be seen, or heard, or spoken to

A shadow amongst black light

Soldiers

Soldiers

We hung tight from your apple tree

And nailed our eyes in each other, feeling so free

You jumped and so did I, we fell into heaven

Lived long days and long nights, from little kids to little rebels

 

We flew down, a day or so, and watched the world sitting on a cloud

So quiet the noises in heaven, but in hell, so angry, so loud

A deadly song they marched and sung "we'll kill 'em all, we'll die to win"

Walking into pure darkness, fighting for a world full of sin

 

Spectators we became, waving to every parting soul

For every blink, a new one near, letting the lies and truth unfold

Two guns they waved, shooting dead every single tear

"We don't feel, we, soldiers. We can't feel no fear”

Jimmy

Jimmy

It's just crazy, how many people try to hold on

But since there is no use for it, they're gone

Live a day in a life, the last day they have

But everything's the same; it's crazy, it's mad

 

No "goodbye", no "so long" just a simple "take care"

This person's bleeding inside, but they aren't aware

They get poisoned by drinks, thinking nothing is real

Yeah, it's crazy, 'cause it's not their life they steal

 

So he bleeds and then waits, maybe someone will come

But then, he remembers, "I'm nothing but scum"

His eyes to the ground, dragin' with'em self-esteem

Two steps, a dark place, and then nothing but screams

 

Now they see with their eyes, they all see... but one

'cause what's in Jimmy's hand, is in fact, a gun

And all the drunks stare, perfectly standing still

Not a word 'cause they know, it was their madness who made him ill

 

Then every eye hits the spot, it is Jimmy who speaks

He tries to say his last words, smiling as he bleeds

"If this is what it takes to make you open your eyes,

Then so be it". Jimmy faints, and dies.

Sunday

Sunday

Today is Sunday

And the rain's blurring down my view

Today, no laughter can be heard

Just my usual crying for you

 

Today we've fallen apart

Just like we did three years ago

But although I stand alone again

You're one thing I could never let go

 

And I cry today in bed

For we've fallen apart instead

This was never meant to be

I miss you, though you've forgotten me

 

Today, my heart has grown weak

My wings can't find their way anymore

This Sunday's chanted its curse

'cause I once again lay here sore

 

And your laughter has fallen behind

'cause too many Sundays have gone by

But your image stays intact

Just as your voice, and your last goodbye

 

And I cry today in bed

For we've fallen apart instead

This was never meant to be

I miss you, though you've forgotten me

 

And the mistakes we've failed to improve

Have left today too many wholes in my route

I'll need you tomorrow as much as today

But I cry now in pain, for today, is Sunday

 

 

Freedom

War

War

 

 

A cold morning awakes him

His frozen eyes, swollen stare

A dead man for every meter

He has woken in a nightmare

 

A drop of truth makes him weak

His own blood has been spilt

Those who stood beside him

Now, a wall of sorrows they've built

 

His feet march in no direction

To the sound of the drums he walks away

Familiar faces pass beside him

But his eyes, only focused on their way

 

A last glimpse to this world of ghosts

He hopes to find something more

But as silence deafens his ears

He knows that now, he has finished this war

Peace

Bullets and Lies

Bullets and Lies

 

Bullet. Speak, words, truth. Stop
Bullet. Lies. Deceive me, you, deceive me. Stop
Lies, lies in bullet's eyes
A monster's chest, a dark, dark disguise
A bullet's face, scared looks. Screams
It's bullet's blood, just flowing dreams

It's my blood, we bleed as well
It’s bullet's blood, it is, I can tell
It's fake, plastic fake
It's a world of dolls we make

Cheap smiles, crystal eyes
No feelings
Numbness. No eyes
No bullets
No eyes
No bullets
Lies

Winter’s Curse

 

 

Winter has just arrived

Frozen roads shine tonight

Squeaking tyres on an endless journey

Two cars, blinded by each other's light

 

With dancing wheels they glide, they turn

The icy dance floor takes control

The screaming wheel's make up the music

The winter devil has reached its goal

 

A sudden noise breaks up the music

Broken glass falls like snow

And now, it's quiet, a dead silence

But the two crashed vehicles start to glow

 

Bit by bit the fire rises

And the flames melt the ice around

Now, water with blood flows

The blood of those who death has found

 

The glowing fire makes up a sign

The wide red river marks the place

And now sirens break up the silence

They come to see their enemy’s face

 

Now they arrive and start to run

But with every meter, a new hope dies

'cause each step seems to make de fire widen

Tears start glowing in the firemen's eyes

Invierno
