(Music & Lyrics by André Matos)

Day by day

Wheels keep turning around

And everynight

Many restless creatures

longing for the dawn

To heal away

Their eternal pain...

Hope the saints arrive

Bringng the signs

Of treasures to be found

Now we walk alone

And we've got to know

The secrets all around

Breaking our hearts of stone,

Tasting our lives,

Setting us free to decide...

"Wings of Reality,

Take me higher and higher

Show me the way to be

Free forever with you...

I guess I've found my way

Everyday growing stronger

So many words to say,

So many things to do..."

The ghosts get closer to my fears

A beast has awakened here inside...

All we don't know, nobody knows!

... And the pay back is coming someday!!

(Music By Rafael Bittencourt - Lyrics by Rafael Bitencourt & Chris Tsangarides)

We're armed and ready to attack

To strike the city of all desires

Then calm the waves that lend to passion

When all reality turns back to ashes

Over the hills, across the sea

Into the abyss of a bygone time

Lest we forget what really matters

And the bewildered look up to the sky

Fallen comrades lay on the ground

Victors in death they make no sound

Petrified my eyes

Behold the sights of battle lost

In this unchanging world

What does the poor life of a warrior cost?

Oh can't you see

Many faces from God's own races are waiting

To fight the good fight

Even though the annals of time

have passed you by you still don't see

Oh, you won't see

They've petrified my eyes

Deep desires of mine

Dark thoughts tyrannize my mind

When will this torture end

Into the mire, to battle again

(Music & Lyrics by André Matos)

Everynight I say a prayer

Look at me: nobody cares

Just a mirror, passing by...

Looked inside:

I've lost my pride!

Stay with me not for so long

It's alright: no needs, no hope

Such a miracle,

looking back...

Times gone by,

and life wasn't bad...!

Lord, light my way

Fill these withered,

careless hands...

Oh, skies are falling down

Skies are falling down

Oh, skies are falling down

Skied are falling down

See, the birds are back...

At the docks and everywhere

Here in Lisbon, realized

This whole world

so strange and divine

Lord, light my way

Fill these withered,

careless hands...

Oh, skies are falling down

Skies are falling down

Oh, skies are falling down

Skied are falling down

(Music by Rafael Bittencourt, Kiko Loureiro & Ricardo Confessori - Lyrics by Rafael Bittencourt)

You live in a world that is just

Way too strange to conceive

Angel's dressed in black

Most of the people who seem to be

Lost in the dark

- Are they alll too real?

Always a good time, never lonely

Suddenly realized the blood

red tears from my eyes

There was nothing much

I could do

But watch you die

Time after time

Burnt your wings on the sun

Metal Icarus

First time I met you wanted

To be by your side

And let my hair grow long

Those days are gone

But I still fly by night

Bringing life to the dead

Even through times

when I felt lonely

Suddenly realized the blood

red tears from my eyes

There was nothing much I could do

But watch you die

Time after time

Burnt your wings on the sun

Metal Icarus

Night after night

Upon forced unknown

Metal Icarus

Ah! Those were the years

I can still feel the windy heights

Against my skin

Andif I close my eyes

And if I close my eyes

I'm flying over hills!

(Music by Kiko Loureiro, Rafael Bittencourt & André Matos - Lyrics by André Matos)

Since the time of the ancients

When gladiators fought

Turning movements of action to passion

Their life was a game

See the blood of the bodies

Spilling onto the floor?

How could people applaud it

It's madness it's all so insane!

Blood, through your heart

Never stops for one minute

And there you will find:

- There is no other way!

The arena's still crowded

But the rules take new forms

Some of them tread on stages,

Some others chase after a ball...

Blood, through your heart

Never stops for one minute

And there you will find:

- There is no way out!

Demons with a thousand eyes:

- Look at me and cast your spell!...

We're dreaming of Paradise

While we stay here in hell!!!

(Music by Kiko Loureiro, Rafael Bittencourt & André Matos - Lyrics by Ricardo Confessori & Chris Tsangarides)

The sun rises over the tide

Waves breaking over the rocks

Again and again like an echo

From the mountain tops

This feeling you just can't hide

Like an open page revealed for all to see

You breathe hard,

Like the sea breeze coming in

Hold your arms to the sky

Don't let clouds hide the sun

Don't runaway cos'

you can't hide from thunder

Cold sweat glistening on your brow

The rains will come crashing down

A million voices sing out loud again tonight

As the mysteries of life begin to unfold

Master of fate you're

the only one who knows

Machine of mystery roles on

(Music by Rafael Bittencourt, Ricardo Confessori & André Matos - Lyrics by André Matos)

It's New Year's Day;

Looking up to the sky

We all await for the fireworks to fly

And I hold you

And I stand by you now...

Over the bay darkness breaks to a glow

But still the sands keep

on running too slow

And I love you

And I care for you now...

Green comes after white

Night turns to day into the fire

Look at our dreams flying away

Climbing up higher

Along the shore timeless faces reflect

The innocence of childhood never left

And I miss you

And I cry for you now

Green comes after white

Night turns to day into the fire

Look at our dreams flying away

Clibing up higher

And the ones who we trust

And the moments of joy

Mirrored there in a glow

That will dazzle our eyes

Here in my heart, in my soul

Sharing the miracle of Hope

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul...

Stay hand in hand, stay with me

Love is the key to believe

In our hearts, in our minds, in our souls!

... But now no matter what I say,

Just look at the firewoks!

(Music by Kiko Loureiro & Rafael Bittencourt - Lyrics by André Matos)

Living a dream just one night

Feels like the last day of my life

Roaming somewhere just for a while

When all the feelings lay dorment inside

Here we go, marching on...

Unconsciously far from this world

We're knowing foundations of all

In such extreme virtuality

All we don't need is the proof to believe

Here we go, marching ahead

Buried deep in the sand...

I recognize this place,

All those faces, all these scenes

Thought I'm so often there

It's somewhere I've never been

(Over and over again)

... It's so extreme

My endless dream...!

(Music by Rafael Bittencourt & Luís Mariutti - Lyrics by Rafael Bittencourt)

I see the stars in your eyes

Portraying my face in the future

Nice is the weather outside

But I'll stay at home

Oh! Waiting for the rain...

Memories of when we were young

Wishing so bad to be older

Now you may look to the past

The only way forward

... Lightning up another cigarrette

Playing cool while cracking up inside

Saying hi to people's like saying goodbye

Laughing, but wishing to cry

Gentle change of tides

Upcoming days

Oh, the spirits of a new horizon fall

Into old dreams

Standing here howling at the storm

Shouting how life could be perfect

Well, then the walls have to fall

To start it again

Gentle change of tides

Upcoming days

Oh, the spirits of a new horizon fall

Into old dreams

Far away from sights

Oh, hidden in the haze

Oh, oh, spirits of a new horizon fall

Into old dreams

(Music by Kiko Loureiro - Lyrics by André Matos)

Speed, run the thoughts inside your brain

Try to catch them once

And you'll be alone

There's nowhere to go

Speed, all the memories will come

Try to make them live

And you'll get so lost

From the present to the past

WIth speed we go

But still don't know

What's hidden in there

Our time is over!

Speed, like a thunderbolt

The future will take its place

Then could you stop time

Perhaps when you die?

With speed we go

But still don't know

What's hidden in there

Our time is over!

Faster than light we will find

A way out of the conscience,

And the more we know, more we'll mind

It's a matter of patience,

Always...

Rainy Nights

(Music by Kiko Loureiro, Rafael Bittencourt & André Matos - Lyrics by André Matos)

Rainy Nights can easily go

The morning sun, a lover so

A cup of tea still held tight in her hand

And tomorrow'll best just like yesterday

Taken by promises

She's just begun to feel the heat

From the fire, and so

Crazy thoughts out of control

Somewhere else away from home

An angel's kiss, the fresh breeze on her face

Closed her eyes and walked into the haze

... And fade away

Taken by promises

She's just begun to feel the heat

From the fire

Burning herself and her soul

Fade away, fade away

Scenes from yesterday seem so far away

'Til the day they'll return again

Taken by promises

She's just begun to feel the heat

From the fire

Burning herself and her soul

So understand, my friend

Sometimes there's rain,

Sometimes there's breeze

Fanning the fire, and so

... Burns herself back to dust

Brings the hope and the love

Sews the end of the rope

Gets us further somehow

Away from home and from all

Thoughts dancing out of control

Turning the stones into gold

Leading to planets unknown

Blowing the fire and so

I promise I won't let you go
