Eloy - The tides return forever

Visions appear to the dreaming heart
temptations seduce till all's torn apart
and they fill the mind
with thoughts of hidden treasures

The excitement about wakes the power inside
every step of the way leaves the heart full of pride
but the values been set
will follow on forever

The mirrors of life will rebound what's been done
claiming the price that is due
time after time

Cycles of fate dance the orbit of time
escorting the ages of madness and crime
but there's no standstill
for the tides return forever

Searching clues for the future without grasping the past
wasting the present, though it's running by fast
but the rivers flow
to join the seas forever

Nothing can change this natural course
all revolutions in vain
all were insane

Approaching the moment of truth unawares
the answers to questions are gained
in joy and in pain

Silent cries
values in disguise
in a world of rules
made by mindless fools

Rise and fall
never changed at all
all the joy and pain
falling down like rain

Lost in trails of time
now the last in line
while the wheels rotate
to a certain fate

At the journey's end
enter nomansland
just where day and night
finally reunite

choir/female voice:
the tides return forever
silent cries
rise and fall
the tides return forever

Nothing can stop all eroding decay
life has it's natural way
day after day

Approaching the moment of truth unawares
the answers to questions are gained
in joy and in pain

Mad world

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in cïrcles
It's a very, very mad world ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

[Verse 1] She was on her way to becoming a college graduate Wouldn't even stop to talk to the average kid The type of latina I'd sit and contemplate marriage with Fuck the horse and carriage shit, her love was never for hire Disciplined, intellectual beauty's what I desire Flyer than Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lopez Everyone told me, kickin' it to her was hopeless At first I just thought, she didn't mess with broke kids The thug niggaz always talking about, how they smoke kids But the rich-sniff-coke kids got no play "I'm not even interested" is what her body language would say Everyone around the way, gave up trying to get in it It didn't matter how good your game was, she wasn't with it On the block, bitches was jealous, but wouldn't admit it Talk shit, and deny to everyone that they did it 'Cause they regreted the long list of niggaz that they let hit it And no one ever gave them shit except McDonald's and did-dick Smoking weed with thoughts of envy, whenever they lit it She smoked intelligently and they bit it, always trying to copy But when they tried to use her vocab, they sounded sloppy She had a style, all her own, respectful and pure I was sick in the head for her, and there wasn't a cure [Hook - Jean Grae] Don't you know that, time waits for no man Not fate, it's all planned I'm blessed just to know you I've loved and I've lost just to hold you all night Can't find, a reason why God came, to you and I If I had the chance again, I'd never let you go Hold tight to your love, 'cause you never know [Verse 2] Her eyes are brown and beautiful, yet empty and sad I used to talk to her occasionally, and she was glad That I wasn't just another nigga trying to get in it So every now and then we'd stop and talk for a minute I didn't have a gimmick so the minutes turned to hours On her birthday, I gave her a poem with flowers Then I took her out to dinner after her cousin's baby shower We talked about, power to the people and such We spent more time together but it was never enough I never tried to sneak a touch, or even cop a feel I was too interested, in keeping it real Perfectly honest and complete, she would always call me "carino," And never Technique, bought me a new book to read every 2 or 3 weeks Forever changing the expression of my thoughts when I speak It was because of her, I even deaded all of my freaks She convinced me, to stop hangin' out on the streets To stop robbin' and stealin', from people like you Instead I took her out to the Apollo and the Bronxu We sailed in Barrio (?) and the Metropolitan too Got to the point when I was either with her or my crew So I decided one day, to tell her my feelings was true I couldn't live without her so I told her, facing my fears But honey's only response, was a face full of tears She could only sob hysterically, holding me tight I tried to speak, but she wouldn't stop until I left sight I felt like a moth who got himself too close to the light Except I didn't burn, I turned cold after that night [Hook] [Verse 3] I went on with my life, college and my career Ended up locked up like an animal for a year Where the C.O.'s talk to you like they were the overseer Then I got sent to the hole, when my exit was near At night in my cell, I'd close my eyes and I'd see her Hold her close in my dreams, but when I woke she disappeared Just an empty cell until the state gave me parole in the summer came back, in tact and on track But the fact of the matter, is I still felt cold Even after my mother, hugged me, cryin' at home My real niggaz would catch me thinkin', out of my zone Fuckin' lots of different women, but I still felt alone Relatively well-known around the New York underground But I kept thinking of her and how we used to be down The sound of her voice, and the beautiful smell of her hair Though gone physically, somehow it was still there I had to do something, because the shit was too much to bear So I went and visited the building where she used to live The world looks a lot different after you do a bid The way your life done changed While primitive minds (are) still stuck in the same game Like her cousin who was on the corner slangin' cocaine Stepped in the lobby and tapped the button next to her last name Her mom buzzed me up and hugged me up, like a mother oughta But her facial expression changed, when I asked about her daughter [Hook] [Verse 4] She told me that there was a note for me, that was left behind She had left it there waiting, for such a long time I was inclined to ask about it but she brought it up first I saw a tear swelling up in her eye, and then she cursed She told me where the letter was and I started thinking the worst Reversed my position, stepped over and opened the door And sure enough there was an envelope with my name on the floor "Nobody loves you more than me carino" is what the letter said "By the time you get to read this, I'll probably be dead But when you left in '97 a part of me went to Heaven I thank God at least I got to know what love really was But it hurt me, to see what true love really does 'Cause even though we never made love, you were all that there was It was because I loved you so much that I had to make you leave You made me doubt the way I thought, you made me want to believe And then I slipped up, and I let you get close to me It was hard to not be openly when people spoke to me This was not the way I thought my life was supposed to be Baby don't you see, I had a blood transfusion that left me with HIV Hoped the end exists for me since late in 1993 I died a virgin, I wish I could've given myself to you I cried in the hospital because there was no one else but you Promise that you'll meet me in paradise inevitably No matter what, I'll keep your love forever with me" What happened for the rest of the day is still a blur But I remember wishing that I was dead, instead of her She was buried on August 3rd The story ends without a sequel And now you know why Technique, don't fucking fall in love with people Hold the person that you love closely if they're next to you The one you love, not the person that'll simply have sex with you Appreciate them to the fullest extent, and then beyond 'Cause you never really know what you got, until ït's gone

Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch her sleeping She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes 'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinkïng of If tomorrow never comes

Cat mi-e dor de ochii tai! Ochii tai, ochii tai, Ce ard ca doua vapai, Ochii tai, ochii tai. I: Asa multa lumina Si-atat de cald, Iar cerul prea albastru Si prea inalt Se ascunde-n in ochii tai adanci Ca si apa printre stanci. Cu sclipiri de-argint curat, Ei m-au fermecat. Refren: Cat mi-e dor de ochii tai! Ochii tai, ochii tai, Ce ard ca doua vapai, Ochii tai, ochii tai Altii nu voi mai afla Si nu-i voi putea uita Cat as vrea privirea ta Sa ma oglindesc in ea. II: Si daca norii grei Se lasa-nspre pamant Mii de fulgere Furtuna semanand Iar in ochii tai adanci O ploaie rece s-a pornit Eu voi astepta s-apara Soarele ce m-a incalzït Refren:..

I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [Chorus:] When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [Chorus:] When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along [Chorus:] When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you stïll have All of me

Ai venit.. De ce? Ai uitat ceva sau poate Vrei sa-mi spui pentru ce Ai sa lasi in urma toate Cate-au fost intre noi Sa-ncerci sa mai gasesti vreun rost, Vreun motiv sa amani ce e De acum definitiv. Ia un loc, il mai ai Pan' la miezul noptii este Timp destul sa mai stai Poate vrei sa trecem peste Inhibari si tristeti cu iz de gari Sau poate-acum vrei sa uiti Ce putin mai este pana pleci la drum... Refren: Mai ramai putin, te rog Este cea din urma seara Efemera ca un nor Vraja n-o lasa sa piara Lasa-ti parul sa-l alint Sa-mi insire-n mana salbe Zbor de vise ce nu mint In plutiri de aripi albe. Mai lasa-mi-te-o zi... Te mai vreau si azi, Ca o ploaie de lumina, Peste trup sa-mi cazi Si-ntr-o liniste deplina Sa colind ceru-n ochii tai Si stropi de stea ce vin Sa-i prind, cand vei fi departe Dorul sa-mi alin. Sa nu spui nimic Nu-i nevoie de cuvinte. Mai adormi un pic Sa-mi ramai asa in minte. S-a facut prea tarziu ca sa mai pleci Si trenul tau a trecut Neimplinit ramana Astazï rostul sau Refren x2...

As vrea sa-ti spun ceva Dar nu stiu cum sa fac Nu vreau sa te ranesc Mai bine ar fi sa tac Oricat as suferi Tu nu meriti sa stii Motivul pt kre te voi parasi Refren: De cate ori am plans si te asteptam sa vii De cate ori eu am facut din noapte zi Iar dak te-as ierta as suferi mai mult Mai bine plec acum si incerc k sa te uit Maine cand am sa plec Iti las scris pe un bilet Un rand si o lacrima Si nu te mai astept Decat o dragoste ce nu mai are rost Mai bine sa uitam ce intre noï a fost

Acolo unde nu exista fericire,
Acolo unde staruieste intunericul
Si viata trece fara alinare,
Acolo sunt eu inecandu-ma in lacrimi de dor pentru tine.
Daca viata mea reprezinta doar un strop de fericire,
O lacrima varsata pentr-un sentiment numit iubire
Nu fac altceva decat sa ti-o dedic tie,
Si n-am sa te uit decat peste cativa ani 1000
Nu vreau sa par patetic sau sa imi plang destinu,
Vreau sa-mi spun cuvantul si sa raman ultimul si primu
Am mai spus o data, vreau sa ma iubesti,
Accepta-ma cum sunt dar fara sa regreti
Stiu ca sunt cam greu de suportat, multi o spun,
Si stiu ca nici tu nu ma consideri prea bun
Vreau o iubire curata sa fie de la tine pentru mine,
Sa fie pana la moarte sa ne fie foarte bine
Chiar daca ne mai certam e ceva normal,
Dar nu-i firesc sa te superi din ceva banal
Incearca sa mai treci cu vedere cum o fac si eu,
Incearca sa ma iubesti asa cum te iubesc si eu
Cand scriu aceste randuri te am ca poza-n minte,
Vreau sa stii ca tot ce spun nu sunt doar cuvinte
Nu vreau sa faci abuz de increderea mea,
Si promit ca nici eu n-am sa fac de a ta
[Refren]
Vreau sa ma iubesti fara nici un regret,
Accepta-ma cum sunt nimeni nu e perfect
Mereu am incercat sa-ti ofer tot ce ai vrut,
In afara de iubire nu pot sa-ti ofer mai mult
Daca viata mea inseamna doar un minut,
Vreau sa fii langa mine pe acest parcurs
Si vreau sa ma iubesti pana la sfarsit,
Pana la moarte pan' la infinit
Daca viata mea inseamna doar un minut,
Vreau sa fii langa mine pe acest parcurs
Si vreau sa ma iubesti pana la sfarsit,
Pana la moarte pan' la infinit
Incep aceste randuri pline de dragoste,
Stiu ca-ntotdeauna pentru tine am fost o pacoste...
Dar trebuie sa ma-ntelegi, asta sunt eu,
Stii ca ma gandesc la tine chiar daca gresesc mai mereu
Dumnezeu e singuru' care stie ce simt pentru tine,
Stii ca fac orice pentru tine ca sa iti fie bine
Chiar daca uneori ti-am tradat sentimentele,
Ti-am zis mereu frumoaso-n mine s-ai incredere
Stiu ca ma iubesti mi-ai demonstrat-o de atatea ori,
Stii ca dragostea ta mereu mi-a dat fiori
Si mai stii ca alta nu mai exista-n viata mea,
Stii la fel de bine ca mine ca ti-am oferit dragostea
Nu vreau ca aceste randuri sa le iei in nume de rau,
Nu vreau sa ma parasesti cand ne va fi mai greu
Mereu am incercat sa-ti ofer tot ce ai vrut,
In afara de iubire nu pot sa-ti ofer mai mult
Pun punct, ma semnez al tau pentru totdeauna,
Nu mi-ar ajunge-o strofa sa spun ce simt pentru tine dar...
Intr-o zi fara tine probabil ca o sa-nnebunesc,
Inchei prin a ma repeta.
TE IUBESC!
[Refren]
Vreau sa ma iubesti fara nici un regret,
Accepta-ma cum sunt nimeni nu e perfect
Mereu am incercat sa-ti ofer tot ce ai vrut,
In afara de iubire nu pot sa-ti ofer mai mult
Daca viata mea inseamna doar un minut,
Vreau sa fii langa mine pe acest parcurs
Si vreau sa ma iubesti pana la sfarsit,
Pana la moarte pan' la infinit
Daca viata mea inseamna doar un minut,
Vreau sa fii langa mine pe acest parcurs
Si vreau sa ma iubesti pana la sfarsit,
Pana la moarte pan' la infinit
Increderea mereu a fost o problema pentru cei ce se iubesc,
Ca o data ce iubesti,
Devii gelos si fara sa-ti dai seama spui
Si faci niste lucruri foarte greu de suportat
Dar o data ce iubesti si stii ca esti iubit poti sa scapi si de gelozie
Si poti sa-ti meriti si increderea persoanei iubite
Stiu ca nu ma plimb in cartier cu Ford Mondeo,
Dar fii tu Julieta mea si io sa fiu Romeo
Pentru tine fac orice iti dau si luna de pe cer,
Iti dau tot ce vrei in schimb doar un lucru-ti cer
Vreau sa ma iubesti fara nici un regret,
Accepta-ma cum sunt nimeni nu este perfect
Dar cateodata simt ca imi explodeaza capu,
Parca nu m-ai intelege, ce dracu...
Nu vreau sa iti faci nervi cand asculti aceasta melodie,
Chiar daca din ochii tai poa' sa par-o porcarie
Ti-am mai spus inca de la inceput, imi aduc aminte,
De cand te-am cunoscut
Ti-am spus ca nu ma pot schimba dar pot sa fac un efort
Si d-atunci si pan' acum sunt cu totul alt om
Iti multumesc ca ma sustii si ca esti langa mine,
Chiar daca restu ce ne-nconjoara ma departeaza de tine
Increderea-i un lucru mai greu de oferit,
Dar pentru tine fata e pan' la infinit
Nu ma dezamagi ca nici eu n-am sa o fac,
Sa nu-mi gresesti niciodata ca ... mai bďne tac
[Refren]
Vreau sa ma iubesti fara nici un regret,
Accepta-ma cum sunt nimeni nu e perfect
Mereu am incercat sa-ti ofer tot ce ai vrut,
In afara de iubire nu pot sa-ti ofer mai mult
Daca viata mea inseamna doar un minut,
Vreau sa fii langa mine pe acest parcurs
Si vreau sa ma iubesti pana la sfarsit,
Pana la moarte pan' la infinit
Daca viata mea inseamna doar un minut,
Vreau sa fii langa mine pe acest parcurs
Si vreau sa ma iubesti pana la sfarsit,
Pana la moarte pan' la infinit
Daca viata mea inseamna doar un minut,
Vreau sa fii langa mine pe acest parcurs
Si vreau sa ma iubesti pana la sfarsit,
Pana la moarte pan' la infinit
Daca viata mea inseamna doar un minut,
Vreau sa fii langa mine pe acest parcurs
Si vreau sa ma iubesti pana la sfarsit,
Pana la moarte pan' la infinït
