The Old Dead Tree
Album • 2024
The morning comes The light turns on Always the same A strange idea Starts to emerge Like a new flame No one really knows What life will bring It's just unpredictable Why should we care? Nothing’s impossible No we have no time to lose We can now chose To get irrational So be prepared It’s unbelievable Wake up and heed this call Nothing’s impossible It’s unpredictable The morning comes The light turns on Nothing’s the same The world has changed The night is gone You broke the frame Look around you and be brave Unpredictable Get your hopes out of their grave Don’t be rational There are many ways to live Irresponsible And many goals to achieve Unexpectable

I'm sure you think you know it all That there is nothing more to say But there's one thing I just recalled You need to hear today I told you so many stories About choices to make Long tales about shame and glory Bad and honest mistakes But I forgot to tell you There's a few other things to know Experiences to share Some places you should never go Oh, there's plenty, I swear But I forgot to tell you The one thing that really matters This life is short Don't waste your time Life is like a race Against the time Against the space A constant chase An endless flow Till the end of the show This life is short Don't waste your time I'm sure you think you know it all That there is nothing more to say Life is like a race You may try to run every day But do spare time to rest To observe the meaningful things That you achieved Even when comes the night It's not over Try to remain a decent man No matter what happens You will be wrong from time to time A good lesson to learn But I forgot to tell you The one thing that really matters This life is short Don't waste your time

I wish I'd never lost The desire to be Much greater than I am The ghost of my will roams free Among my memories Since the fall No call for help Nobody saw that something Was really wrong until it was too late Abandoned to my fate I never thought I would be easily swept up Like the lightest straw Brave is the man who admits That he’s in need of help Driven by his instinct He prefers to face his pain I’ve got to hold I thought I would be Trying to escape From my destiny But I just accept it Once for all Ineluctably I start to foresee The final ending To this sad story This endless fall

Please, I want to know I need the truth That eats away at you Let me be by your side You may have done wrong The deed is done Let the truth out Be at peace and regain your pride I often wonder what life You would have had if not for that You chose to remain in the dark instead Is it not time to raise your head? I'd like you to grow up To bare your soul The price is high But the reward is greater I often wonder what life You would have had if not for that You chose to remain in the dark instead Thinking you'd be better off

Without a second thought I can't get out I won't drop out I know I sound insane but I cannot explain Why I can't let it out I can't get out I won't drop out An unbreakable chain, an endless circle of pain But I can't let it out It's there, I just pretend I don't care There's nothing you can do about my worst nightmare The guilt is buried deep inside I'm pretty sure you know that I lied I hide, the festering sore is shy Don't seek it out, you don't know what you'll find I won't risk disappointing you, oh Without a second thought I can't get out I won't drop out I know I sound insane but I cannot explain Why I can't let it out I can't get out I won't drop out An unbreakable chain, an endless circle of pain But I can't let it out I would rather die than to address My shameful mess Without a second thought It's there, I just pretend I don't care There's nothing you can do about my worst nightmare The guilt is buried deep inside Without a second thought I hide, the festering sore is shy Don't seek it out, you don't know what you'll find I won't risk disappointing you Without a second thought I can't risk to lose you Oh, without a second thought Without a second thought, oh I can't get out I won't drop out I know I sound insane but I cannot explain Why I can't let it out I can't get out I won't drop out An unbreakable chain, an endless circle of pain But I can't let it out

It started out as a joke About the price of a human life Back in those days we were broke We burst out laughing in the night But sometimes the strangest idea keeps on growing in a tormented mind Sometimes it just remains in the dark Like a conscience slowly beating in the dark depths of the soul The poison finally reaches the heart Sometimes the strangest idea keeps on growing in a tormented mind Sometimes it just remains in the dark like it wasn't there Like a conscience slowly beating in the dark depths of the soul The mortal poison eventually finds its way to the heart I never returned to the place Where we left Luke's remains We stopped mentioning his name 'Cause we can't get rid of the shame A victim had to be chosen A decision to be made No need for words to be spoken Nor for doubt to be displayed We knew there would be no turning back We just had to stay on track (We just had to stay on track) But when came the time for us to act We knew Luke would break the pact Yes, we knew that for a fact I never returned to the place Where we left Luke's remains We stopped mentioning his name But we can't get rid of the shame I never returned to the place Where we left Luke's remains We stopped mentioning his name 'Cause we can't get rid of the shame Sometimes the strangest idea keeps on growing in a tormented mind Sometimes it just remains in the dark like it wasn't there Like a conscience slowly beating in the dark depths of the soul The mortal poison eventually finds its way to the heart I never returned to the place Where we left Luke's remains We stopped mentioning his name 'Cause we can't get rid of the shame

Can I take back what I just said? My idea simply turned on its head I should have thought twice Before I speak my mind Now comes the price I wish I could rewind The story of my life Whatever I do it always ends the same The story of my life Whenever I dare to speak I just feel lame The story of my life Can I take back what I just said? I should have stayed home I should have called in sick The damage is done again And I'm just feeling weak The story of my life Whatever I do it always ends the same The story of my life Whenever I dare to speak I just feel lame The story of my life The story of my life Whatever I do it always ends the same The story of my life Whenever I dare to speak I just feel lame The story of my life Tell me I didn't do it again The story of my life Tell me I didn't do it again The story of my life Tell me I didn't do it again The story of my life Tell me I didn't do it again The story of my life

Just before the dawn I never wanted to come with you We shall leave town But there is nothing I can say or do To change your mind, you've been so kind but you're so blind I wish that you could wake up I never wanted to follow you (We'll be on the run) But it seems that you won't let me be true You're too obsessed, no, you won't rest till we head west I wish that you could wake up Before you say something, remember the promise That we made as we were falling apart Now that time is coming, let's put on our brave face 'Cause tomorrow we will get a fresh start (We'll follow the sun) I never thought that I'll die with you (The hunt has begun) And I wonder if deep inside you knew That I'd never wanted to share my life with you I wish that you could wake up Before you say something, remember the promise That we made as we were falling apart Now that time is coming, let's put on our brave face 'Cause tomorrow we will get a fresh start Before you say something, remember the promise That we made as we were falling apart Now that time is coming, let's put on our brave face 'Cause tomorrow we will get a fresh start Before you say something, remember the promise Yes, tomorrow we will get a fresh start Now that time is coming, let's put on our brave face For tomorrow we will get a new start

We've been running for three days And I don't know how we could survive this hunt for so long We can't afford to slow down The dogs are getting close We can hear them barking in the distance But the more we try to rush The greatest is the risk of being sighted, we must remain careful I won't hold on much longer, I'm tired I wish I could travel back in time when everything was fine Life was easier I would die to really change my mind and decide to decline Her poisonous offer I wish I could live This time it was a close call I thought I would be caught But I managed to escape just in time I may not be as lucky the next time, I'm frightened I wish I could travel back in time when everything was fine Life was easier I would die to really change my mind and decide to decline Her poisonous offer I wish I could I was vulnerable when I agreed to come I thought it wasn't for real, that it was just a joke I wish I could live There's not a moment to waste This chase lasts for too long They could give up the hunt at any time I hang on to this fragile hope, I'm crying I just wish I could travel back in time when everything was fine Life was easier Oh, I would die to really change my mind and decide to decline Her poisonous offer I wish I could live

It seems they stopped All feels so quiet after the storm You found a way To get away And now we're free You knew I'd been told how to reach (I think I know where we should go) The others' hiding place (We should be safe there) So I took the lead from there And as we came closer I started to wonder how you could (But how is that possible?) (How could you find a way so fast, so easily?) Find a way so fast? (It seems impossible) They could have caught us a thousand times (They should have caught us a thousand times) No, it can't be due to chance (No motherfucking way) (It's a trap, it must be a trap) It's a trap

Does the fall Of our world Have now got Ineluctable for real? Like a slope A tide you cannot swim upstream? I don't know, my God, I don't know what to do now The vivid colours and the smiles Hide the storm that's to come We prefer false hopes and denial But we can't get away No we can't get away To hell with it I just don't have the strength to find The right path through these maze of contradictions A sword of Damocles hangs over my mind And I can't think of any solution The road is long there is no time And some fools claim everything's fine I wish they're right to my dismay (Be)cause we can't get away Just fear and disarray Sure, let's close our eyes and take a nap As mankind is wiped off the map I won't forget to turn off the tap It’s your most valuable contribution I'll only live once, that's a fact Does what I do have an impact On our chances to survive? (Be)cause we can't get away

Okay, let's face it, all is lost The party's off, we got to the cliff And we gladly took the leap In a way, we never ever fought We just pretended to do something In order to ease our conscience Wake up, it's not too fucking late The threat is real, no time to waste Because the time is now Okay There's a game left to play Where there is life there's hope We've gotta find a way Let's face reality for once Where there's a will there's a way Because the time is now Wake up, it's not too fucking late The threat is real, no time to waste Because the time is now Get up, the battle's not yet lost Just fight it whatever the cost Because the time is now (The time is now) Okay There's a game left to play Where there is life there's hope We've gotta find a way Let's face reality for once Where there's a will there's a way Because the time is now Okay There is one more game left to play

Somehow we lost the very light that lit our future We let our guard down for a night To relieve the pressure So we tried to go back in time Before the wound was open It was too late to make things right The bond was broken Sometimes I wish that we never tried I’m terrified Together we can prevail We cannot afford to fail We all know that hope is frail (As) nothing really lasts forever Somehow we lost the very fight That shouldn’t be lost We were supposed to be alright No matter what the cost We promised not to take the path That led to our own end We were like kids, the sun was bright Together we would stand However I did my best I gave it all, no one can contest I swear I didn’t pray For this to happen that way I’m terrified
