CANAAN LYRICS

1. The Wrong Side Of Things

[Instrumental]

2. This World Of Mine

This world of mine
is a world of wonders
This world of mine
is a world of nightmares
This world of mine
is a world of wonders

Deep down under
my house of sand and snow
rest in silence
And a forever changing memory
protects me from the bites
of conscience
Deep down under
Another night of wishes
Takes the place of day

This world of mine
is a world of wonders
A straight line to a place
where all the egdes collapse
This world of mine
is a world of nightmares
where the sides are all the same

Deep down under
you can hear the beasts
that crawl underneath my skin
Deep down there
They make strange noises
when they crash into the walls
Of a dream-proof reality

This world of mine
is a precious land
where everything's going fine
I just need another hole
to kill this pain that hurts
like a nail

3. Sterile

[Instrumental]

4. The Possible Nowheres

I've dreamt the light
at the end of this sleepless night
just another one like many others

I've heard the sound
At the heart of every void
but this is my void, like no other

I've found the place
at the end of every journey
the one among the possible
nowheres

All that begins
has an end somewhere
All that ends had a beginning
somewhere
All that begins, ends...

I'll dream about a light
far in the distance
guiding the slow steps
of my shy soul

I'll dream about my end
it's just down there, I know
past the lights that blind me now

All that has a beginning
must have an end, I know
An easy end, somewhere
All that has an end
Had a beginning somewhere
The painful rule of every life....

5. Fragment #1

[Instrumental]

6. Senza Una Risposta

Dove sar򠤯mani ?
Nel cuore di nessuno
o tra le braccia di qualcuno

Cosa far򠤯mani ?
Andrò ´²a la gente
che vuole nel presente
un senso di distanza

Sai che far򠤯mani ?
Sarò ´²asparente
Indietro di un istante
solamente

La vita morde forte alle spalle
e quando sorride
fa soltanto del male
Inganna, confonde, poi ti mente
accarezza poi disprezza
cancella tutto quando vuole
senza darti una risposta
senza darti un'altra volta
La vita morde forte alle spalle
e quando sorride
fa soltanto del male

Dove sar򠤯mani ?
Nel cuore di qualcuno
o tra le braccia di nessuno

Cosa far򠤯mani ?
Lascerò ¡ questa gente
il mio senso di abbondanza
che non mi serve a niente

Sai che far򠤯mani ?
Inseguir򠩬 mio presente
facendo finta di niente

E questa vita
morde forte alle spalle
cancella solo quando vede
distrugge solo quando vuole

7. Fragment #2

[Instrumental]

8. Fragile

Fragile
Immobile
For endless
lapses of time

Fragile
Immobile
in an ice cold night
Nothing I perceive
While I hold my breath
and see this life of mine
destroyed
and burnt to ashes.

Fragile
Immobile
With a thousand winds
around me, whispering
words of comfort while
they blow away the sands
of my poor
throbbing heart.

Fragile
Immobile
For neverending
lapses of time
I dare not move
swallow my breath
and my desires
for fear that a sound
could break the spell

Of these frail moments
Of a life I no longer understand
Of this pure perception of me

9. Fragment #3

[Instrumental]

10. In A Never Fading Illusion

The world stands still in front of me
But I can't touch it

The world is flashing before my naked eyes
But I can't see it

The world is sounding loud like broken glass
But I can't hear it

The world is dancing around me
But I can't move

Bitter seed of a grown old utopia
Shadow on the mirrors of life
Wave in a burning red sea
The world spins around me
The world drowns in me

I can't move
And I don't care
where I am
And I don't care
what I have become
I don't care
No, I don't care

11. Just Another Noise

[Instrumental]

12. Il Rimpianto

Mi guardo, straniero
e distante
Un unico momento
immaginando il niente.

Parlo, un sorriso,
rido di me e dei
miei desideri
rinchiusi in una
gabbia affollata
di ieri.

Rido di me e delle mie
illusioni
Il divenire di un rimpianto
tramutato subito
in incanto

Mi guardo, lontano
e stanco
Un unico respiro che
sento e riconosco

Rido di me, il suono
di uno sguardo
in un unico istante
racchiuso nel niente.

13. The Unsaid Words

The words I lost in you
The ones I never found
The empty words I lost in you
are all I'm left with now
The void I found in you
The light I found in you
is all I left behind

They say there is a place
for everything
They say there is a time
for everything
They say there is a need
for everything

Please tell me where's mine
Because all I can find here
are the traces
of the many words I lost in you
of the ones I never found
of the ones I'll never find
of the many words I lost in you

They say there is a place
for everything
They say there is a time
for everything

Tell me where's mine
Because all I can hear now
is the loud silence
of all the words that once
had a sound
of the only words that
once had a meaning.....

14. Fragment #4

[Instrumental]

15. Never Again

Running in circle
entwined in sheets
written with fury
then left
in a corner

Never again

Playing with joy
like a child
left in an
empty room with
a lot of toys

Never again

Bathing in the river
of promises
feeling the hopes of
a whole life
passing away

Never again

Feeling darkness
like a veil suspended
over the dirty windows
of anxiety

Never again
Loosing path like a bird
in a storm
Like a Raindrop falling
from a quiet sky
Like a single ray of light

Never
Again

16. Nothing Left (To Share)

Nothing left to share
But the burden of
just another loss

Nothing left to share
with you nor
with the ones
I used to love

I thought I had much to give
I thought I had much to say
I thought I had much to share

Yet the scaring secrets of
my limpid heart brought me here
and left me with

Nothing else to say
To the walls around me
Nothing left to see
with these blind eyes
Nothing left to do
but trusting the pain
that flatters with the
breath of grace

I thought I had much to say
But I've nothing else to share
And no one else to blame
for the brittle ashes
of my pathetic starvation
