Lyrics:
I wrote down your name
And threw it into the fire
I’m trying hard to breathe
I’m trying hard
I’m sitting quiet and watch it burn
I’ve got a mouthful of ashes
It’s time for me to shed my tears
It’s time to shed
Let the storm wash off your thoughts
Become the mountain calm and still
Become the sky and let the clouds pass by
Become the sky
Let the wind shake off your doubts
And count your wishes with the stars
Fly along their path of dust
And drift away
(X2)
Deep inside the winter
Summer never really ends
Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to live again?
Are you ready to live again?
(X8)
Are you ready to live again?
Deep inside the winter
Summer never really ends
Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to live again?
Are you ready to live again?
I turn my head up to the sky
I’m made of lights, I’m made of sounds
Now stars are raining on my bed
Now stars are raining

Lost (Siberie)

Lyrics:
Don’t be taken with the wind
Howling behind the misty window
Always singing its farewell song
Trying to make you laugh or cry
But powerless to the inviting fire
Don’t get lost in the stars
Their bright sparkle will slow
Their pulse will fade away
Their lives have lost strength and meaning
Most of their time’s already past
They have become
Ghosts of themselves
Themselves
Themselves
Don't listen to the rain drizzling down
Soaking you to the bone
Your eyes are a stream
Never to end
To end
To end
Do you really wanna chase the sun ? (X4)

Lyrics:
Drag my bones down that old gravel road
(Take me there lay me to rest
Under the moonlight’s dimming crest)
Let my spirit linger on as my face fades away
(Through night and day dancing through space
As mountains fall and shadows wane)
I can’t dwell in the past
When life’s too short to be running in circles
And all the times I’ve been wrong
Doesn’t mean that I’ve failed
So when I’m dead and gone
Push the shadows and embers away
Can’t change what I’ve said and done
So remember me as you may
Drag my bones down that old gravel road
(Take me there lay me to rest
Under the moonlight’s dimming crest)
Let my spirit linger on as my face fades away
(Through night and day dancing through space
As mountains fall and shadows wane)
The river’s calling to me
To let it weave its way ‘round my fingers
And every day in the sun, has to come to an end
I see the trees giving in to the wind
Sweeping ‘way their remains
Clearing the way for them to blossom again
The river’s calling to me (X12)
Drag my bones down that old gravel road
(Take me there lay me to rest
Under the moonlight’s dimming crest)
Let my spirit linger on as my face fades away
(Through night and day dancing through space
As mountains fall and shadows wane)
Drag my bones down that old gravel road

Chanson des steppes
04:26

Dans la nuit bleue d’été
Mon ami est parti
Chevaucher les steppes sauvages
Si je le reverrai
Cela nul ne le sait
Je regarde les étoiles et je prie
Ohoh tu t’en es allé
Dans la nuit pour chasser les nuages
Ohoh mais je garderai
Avec moi ton regard à jamais
Mon amour, mon mari
Notre amour est de ceux
Qui résiste aux flots, aux naufrages
Mon amant, mon ami
Un jour tu es parti
Dans la pluie les éclairs et le bruit
Ohoh tu t’en es allé
Dans le bruit la tourmente et l’orage
Ohoh moi je garderai
Avec moi ton sourire à jamais
Dans les plaines immenses
Là où l’espoir renaît
Parfois, je crois voir ton visage
Et j’écoute en silence
Dans le souffle du vent
J’entends ton prénom murmuré
Ohoh me retrouver
Avec toi un beau jour d’orage
Ohoh moi je garderai
Dans mon cœur ta chanson à jamais
Au bord de la falaise
Tout en haut du rocher
Je respire la brise sauvage
Mon amour, mon amant
Le bonheur m’a quitté
En bas j’entends le vide m’appeler
(X2)
Ohoh je veux m’envoler
Avec toi pour chasser les nuages
Ohoh je te reverrai
Dans cette vie ou bien celle d’après

Lyrics:
Dans le noir de la nuit tout oscille
Les mots remparts, les jeux de quille
J’aimerais te dire des mots lumière
Je reste là à boire des verres
Tu veux briller, tu fais du bruit
Des gestes de pantin sourd
Moi mes blessures mal enfouies
Me rendent lourd
Les secondes et les heures passent
J’observe d’un œil les gens habiles
J’écoute sans heurts, les rires me glacent
Conversations futiles
Que je traverse l’eau, le temps, la nuit, le bar du coin
Tu seras toujours trop loin
Ne prends pas ma place, je peine à la trouver
Laisse-moi ce coin d’espace pour respirer
Je me suis mis du noir dans les yeux
Je veux que tu me voies
Les tiens paraissent si bleus
Tant pis si je m’y noie
Faire battre mon cœur coûte que coûte
Pour tromper mon ennui
J’imagine déjà notre route
Notre histoire, notre vie
Dans le noir de la nuit tout oscille
Les mots remparts, les mots dociles
J’aimerais que tu sois ma lumière
Je reste là à boire des verres

Lyrics:
This place is yours, but if it’s mine
If it’s ours, how can it feel empty?
You say to stay I have a home
It feels so different since I’ve gone
It was mine, it was ours, it was good
It still smells like incense
I think about our last goodbye
But I won’t stay and cry
It’s no longer
Mine is the sky and the breeze and the first foot in the water
What’s mine is my ticket to go, to see, to feel, and try to live forever
You say I’m split between two worlds and putting on too many faces
But I can’t stay here to rot away
When the world is mine
I see the sun as it shines
Through the dirty pane of the window
On and on it’s sinking low
I’ll follow her wherever she goes
I’ll drive along, walk away, I’ll sail on by
Stopping where the wind blows
If I get lost don’t come for me
No roots to plant me down
I’m free in the sky and the breeze to put my first foot in the water
Free with my ticket to go, to see, to feel and try to live forever
You say I’m split between two worlds and putting on too many faces
But I can’t stay here to rot away
When the world is mine
My home it has no doors, no walls
No lock or key to keep me chained up as a prisoner
My church is found behind the tree
My temple is the sea
Crisp wind is biting at my neck, urging me on
Pushing me forth to my adventure
The Mountain’s Fire, it calls to me
To keep it company
Let myself be free in the sky and the breeze to put my first foot in the water
Free with my ticket to go, to see, to feel and try to live forever
You say I’m split between two worlds and putting on too many faces
But I can’t stay here to rot away
When the world is mine

Lyrics:
Black Wolf, Black Wolf
Who are you talking to
Black Wolf, Black Wolf
Who are you talking to
Howling till the morning sun?
Wise Hart, Wise Hart
Where are you heading to
Wise Hart, Wise Hart
Where are you heading to
Walking through the silver night?
Oh I'm tired of running in circles
Oh tell me how to listen
Listen to the Wolf Song
Listen to the Wolf Song
Almighty Raven
Where are you flying to
Almighty Raven
Where are you flying to
Holding memories of time?
See the animals dancing in the sky
We can’t remember
Who we are
Who we are
Listen to the Wolf Song
Listen to the Wolf Song

Lyrics:
I’ve been walking in the forest
Trying to bury my sorrow
The wound pounding in my chest
With me everywhere I go
Memories ripped apart on the floor
When the tears won’t come anymore
My cold cold heart
Give it to the horses, give it to the fire
My cold cold heart
And let them run, run away
My frozen soul
Over the moonlight, let it speak louder
Oh broken soul
You are the sun, just shine your way
Shine your way
Can you feel the freezing waves
Of the lake? Oh the shaking ground
Are you filled with empty spaces?
Can you hear the wind all around?
He tells me to be brave
He tells me to be strong
Even when the light’s away
He tells me to be brave
He tells me to be strong
Night is brighter that the day
My cold cold heart
Give it to the horses, give it to the fire
My cold cold heart
And let it burn, burn away
My frozen soul
Over the moonlight, let it speak louder
Oh broken soul
You are the sun, just shine your way
Shine your way
(X8)
Under the dark, dark night
Into the white, white snow
Follow the bright, bright stars
Millions of years ago
I am the wind
I am the time
I am the red fox
Across the sky
Welcome darkness at my door
I am not afraid anymore
My cold cold heart
Give it to the horses, give it to the fire
My cold cold heart
And let them run, run away
My frozen soul
Over the moonlight, let it speak louder
Oh broken soul
You are the sun, just shine your way
Shine your way
