SHAKRA LYRICS

1. Ashes To Ashes

Lurking, waiting
Seeking for your smell
Feelings rising
I fell under your spell

Dreaming of a life with you
And you don't give a damn

'Cause when I die I go to heaven
And if it's hell I'll take that too
Someday, I know, we'll be together
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

Won't you taste me
I know what you need
Can't you trust me
I would just exceed

Don't you feel just like I do
Who cares, it's all the same

2. Love & Pain

Now that you have set me free I will let you go
Time for me to move right on, you see
Now don't you cry, please smile for me, fate has struck once more
The truth is it was never meant to be

Looking at my heart, it's a brand new start
Heading for your love, flying like a dove
Homing in on you, nothing I can do
Now I'm trying, trying to forget

Gone are all those distant dreams, they will stay that way
Damned in hopeless fear and pain, it seems
I'm tired of playing this sad game, hope I'll see the day
That love don't mean you have to feel the pain

3. Let Me Lie My Life To You

You thirteen year old sweet little thing
I am the boy of your dreams
Tell me how old you want me to be
Why don't we meet in secrecy?

I won't show you my picture just for now
You will be surprised by who I am

Let me lie my life to you
Just believe my tales are true
I promise it will be all right
Let me join you for a night

I'll pick you up with my brand new car
I know a wonderful place
I'll show you things you've never seen before
And I am sure we'll enjoy it

We are two of a kind in this pure world
I can hardly wait to see you for real

Let me lie my life to you
Just believe my tales are true
Won't we play a little game?
Ain't it funny we're the same!

4. The Illusion Of Reality

Reality seems far away
Noise in my head is here to stay
Long for silence and shades of gray
Lines and edges seem to fray

Feels like a long cold winter in my numb mind
Cold and hard and so goddamned unkind

I learned so much I don't really need
My teachers just filled my head indeed
Illusion takes over fantasy
Couldn't get much higher, higher on me

Is there a way out of this trap
I've had enough of this cheap crap
Tired of always taking the rap
No more aces in my stack

5. Why

I am all alone
No one to call my own
Death comes as release
Give me shelter please

You were my temptation
Resistless cunning Eve
Now where's your ray of hope
You turned it to a soap

N' how could I believe
Our love will last forever
You took me by assault
To palter with my heart

Why'd you cross this final line
I thought that you were mine
And now it's just goodbye
Why'd you play this bad charade
Our fairy tale will fade
Without givin' a try
Tell me why

Bygone times fade slowly
Aching more and more
All persuaded cause
Just raises more doubt

I have to stand aside
No chance for a reaction
Cause' now our destiny
Lies in your little hands

6. The Journey

Everything is frightening
Everything's averse
No one gives a reason
For this aggrieving curse

No one gives you shelter
Or just a helping hand
Who cares about your troubles
Trapped in your own world

Needed just a piece of me
Now you go your own way
Needed just one great thought in life
To make you strong to carry on

Strive on, grab your wings and fly on
Open up your eyes and realise there's skies
Strive on, though the world gets you wrong
Cease with your own lies, it's worth to pay the price

Once you were a winner
Unattainable
You'd climb the highest mountain
Absurd to think you'd fall

Nothing last forever
But everybody tries
The journey is your fortune
The path is your main goal

Needed just a piece of me
Now you go your own way
Needed just one great thought in your life
I tried to give you more than this
N' you took more and more
You sucked all my energy
To make you strong to carry on

7. Regressive Evolution

For millions of years people grew along
We made a big progression
N' every wrong we inverted to right
That makes us better than creatures

But what are we doing now?
We hate without a reason
Takin' a downward trend
Yes we're just mammals, but mammals that brag

Show me now, explain it now, I just can't conceive
Come on and show me now, prove it now
Cause there's no reason for regressive evolution

We are bombing away what we've built with sweat
Follow chiefs 'cause we chose them
We are longing for things that we just can't get
For things that others just show off

See what we're doing now?
We kill without a reason
Takin' a downward trend
Yes we're just mammals, but mammals that brag

8. Anybody Out There

I've been sailing for so long and
Hunted for that guidin' light
Was driftin' in murky waters
Desiring stars to make landfall

Don't you know that I was seeking for aid
I hope you are satisfied!
Ain't it clear I crave for some attention
Show me the sunny side

Is anybody out there? Is anybody reaching for my soul?
Is anybody out there? Please call my name

The wind blows cold as the night gets darker
New moon hides his face in shame
Do you believe that it would heal itself
Did you think I'd just take it all
I'm sick of rolling with your punches
Taking all the bloody blame

9. Right Between The Eyes

I've been a fool, I see it
You're not the friend I knew
You know me well, you could do better
A great show you pulled off my friend
I almost missed the cue
It's written on the wall in great big letters

Don't need you no more
I made it on my own
Right between the eyes
I got the bullet of your sweetest lies
Saw through your disguise
Don't need you no more

I hope I learned my lesson
My trust is hard to earn
I won't be blinded by those slick words
You need to prove to me now
It's really what you mean
And I won't be fooled just by what I heard

Don't need you no more
I made it on my own
Just myself to blame
Duped by your smooth game
Right between the eyes
I got the bullet of your sweetest lies
Saw through your disguise
Don't need you no more

I should have known it better, I got myself to blame
Fool me that one time the shame's on me
If you fool me twice, then the shame's on you
And surely all of them will finally see

10. Dirty Money

Buddy, so you think you got it under control
You're gonna find out the hard way
Nobody's gonna give you the time of the day
Nothing in life is for free hey

You think you need to do it all right
But you're too stupid to know how

It's all for the money
You'd do anything for it
You really earned it now
Cause it's all dirty money
And you need it obviously
How 'bout a little more

So you look for sugar but you just get the whip
You made a choice, gotta eat it
That wretched sorry look won't help you out now
I hope you get what you needed

11. Insanity

Another lonely morning
You lay beside me dreaming your reality
You told me 'bout your sorrows
And so that's why you flee into insanity

I'm gonna have my time without you now
I'm gonna have some fun without you now
I know the price to pay, no longer can I stay
You are the reason why the time has come right now for me

You know that I've got patience
I'm not the kind of guy that pussies off and flees
You treat me like your hostage
And that's an easy way to put the blame on me

12. Hopeless

Don't con me Baby
It was such a good time
The reason's forgotten
There's no reason at all

Now here I stand, reach for your hand
And I give in, in to the final sin
Is all I get, just what I deserve?
I'm feeling' hopeless, in despair

Led to believe in those lies
How I miss those clear blue skies
And more than that my guardian Angel
But I know I won't make history

I know it's hard to lose control, I know it's hard to lose control
You really think you're all alone, believe it's true you're on your own

I've been a fool, a little tool
I tried it all and I replied each call
So this is all, all I deserve
I'm feeling hopeless, in despair

13. Mystery

[Bonus track]

I'll never know, it's a mystery
The man in you, don't know 'bout me
My female side, don't care 'bout you
No wonder it don't jell, what are we to do

Why do we try, why do we cry
Believing in everlasting love
Giving it all, waiting to fall
Thinking we can change the world
We cannot change the world

Try not to show, how we really feel
Head held up high, 'cause it's no big deal
The show goes on and my heart's for sale
Nobody gives a damn about my sorry tale
