THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

 

THE WOODS' TALE

(instrumental)

 

SAD RECOLLECTION PART

long ago, at times of the never ending sorrow

in the forests where i spent my illusive youth

there was this fire-lady that has lit my heart with desire.

It was exactly the moment when i saw  her for the first time

when i realised that all i ever wanted is here, in front of me,

and that all i have to do to change...

is to finally embrace her and tell her how i feel…

 

FRUSTRATION PART

she’s from heaven

her dark eyes make me go insane

in every way

i love her but i know that

i’ll just scare her away

if we would

walk a thousand ways along

she’d know that i’m the very one

for her i’d even sell my soul

and turn those stars into the gold

for her

 

lets walk along and let’s enjoy

i’ll give you all i can and more

let’s walk and talk and breathe with joy

‘cause that’s exactly what we’re living for,

living for

 

RE MEMBRANCE PART

icons on the walls of this wooden temple

stare so evil at me for being there

maybe those in the pictures above

are the ones i was killing one by one

It was so long ago in deep forests

It was dark and i was cold

I was so hungry then

oh i can’t remember everything…

 

i was lonely and i was lost

i didn’t know then what it would cost

 

explain me why these horned reindeer

and cold untouchable women 

are dancing all around

who am i to become 

when i step behind bonfire’s light

 

perhaps i’ll find why this rain starts to bite

and maybe maybe then i shall be on your side

 

MYSTERY PART

i bite myself into the neck

can a dream be so sweet?

indifferently sucking my own

obscure pulsing stream

so i can disappear

away from you

and watch you

so i can disappear

 

gonna need you there

gonna need you there

for my burning ways

as i reach to dare

before me she lays, she lays

i’m so glad you stayed

 

don’t be afraid

as i reach to dare

before me she lays

i’m so glad you stayed

 

FASCINATION PART

it’s getting darker

living colors become beautifully grey

wide white fields stand in my eyes

as i see you lying there...

 

imaginary nudity makes me close my eyes

and become blind

i’m blinded by this ghost

i’m blinded by you sweet child

 

DEVOTION PART

with shaking hand i grab your neck

with beads of bony charms on

oh those bony charms

they too can tell a story...

 

and tear off rough dress of yours

with so much pain in soul

oh i feel your shaking girl

on that rainy day

 

nobody else loves you like i do

 

THE SPELL PART

kuagarap ojuark

kpat iminam

THE RIVER OF LOST

 

 

Hopeless

a. Dark Bridges

b. All We'll Ever Know

Awaking Inside

Snowdance (Warm Inside)

Blue Flame Fire Song (The Suicide World)

The River of Lost

Last Dance (Into Death)

Like Never Before

Farewell

 

 

HOPELESS   

a) DARK BRIDGES

 

When the darkness turns away

We smile and greet a new day

Days are passing fast and nights

They make us hide

The day is bright and our souls, they shine

Cause they are fragile like a glass

If you need a friend - pass by

Don’t expect and don’t count on us

 

Cause we’re shadows, we’re the jokes

Like crying clowns

We’re the ghosts of evil past

Barely floating up and down

No one seems to care

Why the bridges are so dark and empty

Even sun can’t shine enough

It can’t shine enough

To light this death’s pedestal

 

 

 

b) ALL WE'LL EVER KNOW

 

I know it’s a trap but somehow I feel a need to leave

I’m calling out for wisdom in the ancient belief

Who can tell where to find the strength I need

And how to learn how not to know why we live

 

All those times when I was so alone in the dark

I tried to understand what choice do we really have

Are we alone in the maze of eternity’s ways?

Or is it true that everything always ends

 

And every time I seek the truth - it turns away

And every time I turn to you - you just can’t wait

And every time I ask the river who’s to blame

Every time the river, it just runs away

And every time we think we know what waits for us

But every time we find that only future does

And every time, even when we shine so bright

Every time the part of us, it slowly dies

 

Is it all we’ll ever know?

Is it all we’ll ever know?

 

 

 

AWAKING INSIDE

 

The lakes of sadness

And the mountains of unkindness

With the clouds of tears drifting high

A cold heart never dares to cry

It’s raining

It’s raining outside

I’m awaking

I’m awaking inside

Awaking inside

There’s no place to hide anymore

 

Can’t you hear us crying lonely in the night

Can you take away these empty dreams

and hold us tight

 

Come along into this dirty swamp

We all are calling home

Reach out and pull my heart away

It’s in your hands, my life's in your hands

 

I don’t need no salt to taste the loneliness and grief

I don’t need your jokes ‘cause the least I want now

is to laugh

 

Awaking inside

I'm awaking inside

There’s no place to hide anymore

Awaking inside, awaking inside...

 

I don’t need water

To kill the thirst away 

No need for me to stay here

Don’t need a road 

I want to go where no one else has been

And I don’t wish to return

I don’t wish to return

No I don’t wish to return

 

 

 

SNOWDANCE (WARM INSIDE)

 

A time to like and not to be afraid   

All your troubles seem far away

In this warm room waiting for her

(You have) a time to wait and a place to stay

She’s not far away - you can feel that

She’s coming to you, just be patient

 

Lonely trees behind the window in a dark afternoon

So black and naked in winter’s cold

Should I pretend being so damned happy in this room?

Or feel like one of those leaves they have lost

‘cause I am lost

 

That cold inaccessible beauty

Screaming now to be sheltered

Tamed and consoled

In these chains of warmth

Passing out the cosy comfort

To the places she lays her hands

Warm tears of joy and thanks

Sound all around they touch the ground

Sweet touchy music rings

Through all the wintertime

Tears falling and running all over through me

I’m melting and slipping in this harmony

Oh please won’t you stay with me

(Remember walking in warm sand)

 

Pure white and peaceful snowflakes

That circle rounds in this

So cold and deadly dance

Behind the magic glass

(Give silently a feeling

Of safety, warmth and rest)

They dance to the death so warm

Tonight the stars will fall

And we’ll be together

Tonight and forever

We’ll fall with the snow

 

 

 

BLUE FLAME FIRE SONG

              (SUICIDE WORLD)

 

At the edge of spitting contempt at myself

Losing all mountains to conquer once again

Losing all forever now I’ll stay aground

Killing thoughts oh so divine

Gotta find another way to make it through

Gonna find a place to stay away from you

Gotta end these days of blues and look into the death

Gonna hide from you again

 

In suicide world, deep inside

In the cut veins of my soul

 

I’ll be flying with the winds so unreal

Touch the pain and misery, much too real

Drink the wisdom and drown myself in this poison cup

Laugh at all mistakes I’ve done

 

In suicide world, deep inside

In the ripped veins of my soul 

 

Paralyzed, soaked in grey lies

Let me live in my cage

Madness lies just a touch away

Make the sorrow go away

 

The sorrow never goes away

 

In suicide world, deep inside

In the torn veins of my soul 

 

Gotta find some rest in the long forgotten joy

Heal the wounds of the past to feel safe in this void

This void and the sorrow never go away

 

 

 

THE RIVER OF LOST

(Instrumental)

 

 

 

LAST DANCE 

            (INTO DEATH)

 

Tonight i’m making a bed

For my Love, for the dead

You smile to me for the last time

As you did for the first time

 

I feel the rivers in my eyes

I see the desert burning your insides

I’m holding you for the last time

As I did for the first time

 

Don’t take her away from me

Don’t part our ways like this

 

The last look of my loved one

It makes my heart burn

Your eyes are closed, the face so pale

And hands as cold as hail

 

All the joys we once shared

They make my future so unfair

I feel so weak

The loneliness will be my only friend

 

And in your eyes deep night lights on

I’ve never seen the stars so bright

It’s you and me we’re in this bed

Together us - we fight the death

 

(Yet one of us will loose        

One of us will fall                     Again and forever

If only we could choose            No more together

But one of us will fall)               Please don’t leave

 

Don’t take her away from me

Don’t part our ways like this

 

We meet the dawn and one of us is dead

The one I loved and knew so well

Last dance we twist – white clothes and us

 

No matter how - we’ll make it last

Our last dance into death

 

 

 

LIKE NEVER BEFORE

 

Wave to me my dearest friend

There’s an axe over your head

Just one more step, reach out with your hand

But you can’t realize

You can’t understand

Thick clouds, they are all over you

They want you but I’ll fight for you

 

Tonight we’ll be safe... tonight we’ll be safe

'cause we’re not afraid of dark anymore

And we’re strong in our doubts

Like never before

 

Tonight we’ll be safe in our beds

But millions won’t have the strength to rest

 

Wave to me my dearest friend

There’s an axe over my head

Demons crawl with oh so sweet alternatives

Killing us inside, so primitive and naive

'cause we’re not afraid of dark anymore

And we’re strong in our doubts

Like never before

 

We’re strong in our passions and doubts

Like never before, like never before

 

 

 

FAREWELL

 

Time

That had no flow

When you were there with me

Is gone, you’re gone

I’m left alone

Still if you wish

You can find me

Anywhere

You want me to be

Shadow of a Dust

Circus of Love

Soulswirl

Apart

 

 

 

SHADOW OF A DUST

 

Who deserves the truth?

Only those who never lie

Don’t you? Don’t you ever lie?

Won’t you tell me, tell me your dreams

Ha! Birds and lakes and streams of love

Teddy bears and barbie dolls!

Does it make you feel cleaner in this mud?

 

Who can tell when tomorrow comes in this

Eternal night, just a shadow of the earth

 

Coming to your door again

Running from myself again

The world, it eats my soul again,

And again

Far away from what I used to be

Far away from what I want to be

 

The world, it never stops lying

And we, we never stop to like it

 

Who can tell when tomorrow comes in this

Eternal night, just a shadow of the earth

Forever in this we live and we die

Just a shadow of dust, a shadow of a trust

 

Coming to your door again

I guess i’m running from myself again

Something eats my soul again

I am running once again

Far away from what I used to be

Far away from what I want to be

Going toward you again

Afraid i’m going blind again

You make me blind again

 

 

 

CIRCUS OF LOVE

 

A circus of love in this arena again

The tigers are tamed and the clowns cry

I don’t want it to deliver pain and end this game

This endless rain (of tears) I could never understand

I wanted to fly; yet I knew I had to cut my wings

We’ve got a death (not life) we’ve got to live

 

Are we just wasting time

Degrade our prides

Just wasting time?

Is this gonna fade with time

Will it stay inside

Or will it die?

 

I’ll cut my wings, you’ll rescue me

Rescue me and stay with me

There’s no more love for me in this world

Why does it always take a fight to see?

 

Are we just wasting time

Degrade our prides

Just wasting time?

Is this gonna fade with time

Will it stay inside or will it die?

I’ll cut my wings and you will rescue me

Will you rescue me

Forgive and stay with me?

Is it gonna burn or is it gonna scratch?

I think I’ve had enough I think I’ve had too much

I think i’m gonna turn

 

I know

The path is you 

The light is you

And the wisdom is you

I know

The path is you

The light is you

And the wisdom is…

 

The howling wolf is dead

Though the freedom is here at hand

We look too much at stars

If we doubt that they ever smile

Beautiful sun

She kills and she gives birth

But will she save our love 

Our souls, whatever they are worth

 

I know

The path is you

The light is you

And the wisdom is…

 

 

 

SOULSWIRL

(Instrumental)

 

 

 

APART

 

Never thought that I’d go this far

Loosing my mind and falling apart

Nausea just from life itself

Nervous breakdowns, when everyday is hell

The dearest smile suddenly turns grim

Swearing and cursing for all the earth’s sins

Sometimes it feels that I don’t live at all

The pain is so deep that I want to run away

Away

 

I wish that I had never been born

I’m banging head into eternity’s door

I never thought that this would ever end

Losing you is worse than losing an eternal friend

 

I rot away, choke with every breath

Wishing not to stay

Praying to disappear

I hope that my thoughts finally turn real

 

A butterfly just died in your hair

The wolves, they run away

Your poisonous beauty kills and slays

Everything that’s in your way

Burning down from passion in the acid rain

I’m not the only one bit by your evil tongues

I’ll disappear and pray

 

And scream an evil curse

 

I wish that I had never been born

I’m banging head into eternity’s door

I feel like i’m drowning

I never thought that this would ever end

Losing you is worse than losing an eternal friend

 

 


BURNING SWODAHS

 

 

Monody (sing with me)

Sasha d'Ark

Meltin Nite

Silent

Till Windows Light (I dance with the ghost)

 

 

 

MONODY (sing with me)

 

Can’t close my eyes
They burn from inside
Shaking and awaiting for magical signs
Internal storms are taking me back
To the lost monotony
That seems so black
For I sing my monody

I’m glad I saw you enjoy the new day
Be glad to know I end my way

 

 

 

SASHA d'ARK

 

Nets of rivers deep down in the abyss
As I fall and call all throat your name
My close black future cries a thousand of tears
Soft waves make ways to reach a shore of endless fears

I’ll wait for you in the night
Cold dark with no evilness
Just a stream of warm remembrances
That can hold us together for so long
Meet me, meet me, meet me

Let me scratch away my dirt with burning snow
And tear off my head with these thoughts full of you
Catch the darkness
Melt in night with me
Such a dark

Let me scratch away my dirt with burning snow
And tear off my head with these thoughts full of yours
I’ve never seen the light
I forgot how beautiful you are
Oh Sasha d’Ark

 

 

 

SILENT  (frustration 1)

 

Standing on knees
He’s crying in front of me
I’m silent eventhough I’m crucified
He’s alive but he’s crying
In my wooden temple
The same tear on my face
If I knew how to drop it
I would cry for myself
I wouldn’t cry for you
Cause I’ve died for you
I’ll be silent with you
In your pain I’ll be cruel

That’s the way you love me
All your troubles surround me
Seaking for beauty and light
In love you shall die
In love you shall die

For love you’re crying
I’ll give love
And I’ll be silent
Here you come begging for more
I’ll keep silent
Begging for more
You just cry
(repeat verse)

Always drinking my blood
Holy flesh is too hard for you to bite
When you killed me you thought you’re a God
So then leave me and dry up your eyes
That’s the way you love me
That’s the way you love me
That’s the way you love me
In love you shall die
Thet’s the way y?ou love me
Sorato much pain in your eyes
You were dead a long time before
I’ve got a life
In my wooden temple
The same tear on my face
If I knew how to drop it
I would cry for myself
I wouldn’t cry for you
Cause I’ve died for you
I’ll be silent with you
In your pain I’ll be cruel

 

 

 

TILL WINDOWS LIGHT 

      (I dance with the ghost)

 

I’m tired of being a shadow in daylight
I’m through... it’s getting darker!
On the way to my dark castle
Where I can hide from you
And rest in high old rooms
In a heart up to the ceiling
Joyful lights get warmth and comfort
Painting twisting shadowdances
On the hundred-aged walls

Let me touch your soul
Let me be with it
A stream is powerful and fast
But it won’t take me
Only you are real for me
Only you are true to me
You is what I need
Until the sun comes up
And windows light
Then I feel fine
Just wanna see how
We fall through time

Still I feel your warm tears
When I draw my empty dreams without you
Stay with me, let the world run away
Night, hold me the way I loved her

Space is near, I swim in trance
Calling you to twist in dance
Along with me in sinking night
When the dawn burns red and windows light
(1994 august 10)

 

 

 

The following 2 songs are  available only as extra trax on

"Burning Swodahs" MCD, released by Lithuanian DANGUS Prod.

 


IN THE GROUNDS

 

Crystal wrath
that is soon to be changed
to a speechless entreaty
In the glass eyes
of your dying body
Tired from the inside
Yet you can see them closing your eyes
White stony faces
Sorato much into feasting
The end of life
...and I shall walk alone
Through pain and loneliness
To reach the edge of all weaknesses
and free myself
Through neverending fields of ecstasy
I’ll fly as a storm
(Deep woods of love will cross my way
A journey of strange forms
I’ll rest in pain - so far away from all of you
Won’t meet the new day...)
Feeling so dirty
I’ll pass away, I’ll pass away

Birds spitting off tongues of fire
Flying all around
They sing a song of war
Destroying the blind kind
blind kind, blind kind
I’ll run down the river of death
Followed by always hungry dogs of stinky Styx
We’ll run in herd so thirsty for blood
That will keep us awoke
And along we’ll celebrate
A triumph of the land
In the valley of the dead

 

 

 

INNER RATS

 

I starve for loneliness
To destroy this cold and emptiness
I’ve lost my way in the maze of existence
Please tell me when I’m dead

In the realm of dry stony rivers
I shall lay my head onto ground
And only snakes glass eyes
Shall see me crying
And making rivers flow again
In endless streams to run nowhere
But turn to ice in snakes glass eyes
To see as my sorrow dies

And you are always there
Where I can find my rest and hide from them
You can reach me everywhere
Yuo know the way I was excited to step onto
Where I found pain
And now ignore the human race

In the realm of dry stony rivers
I shall lay my head onto ground
And only snakes glass eyes
Shall cry with mine

Take me to a century
With no beginning and no end
I’m gonna follow the path
Of your black eyes eternally
So I could make the rivers flow again
In endless streams
And be in them

Vanishing anger
Does not imagine a word about crying
Pain eating guts is feeling so free
swimming through me
A friend who has left me to the disease
Spreading around by the inner rats
A pulse like the blast
Head full of nails
Heart is tearing apart
Who else should repent...
It’s just me
