CROSSING
(G. P. da Palestrina)
Instrumental
(Music by Matos, Loureiro, Confessori)
(Lyrics by Matos)
Long ago, the same sky above;
"It's lonesome when the sun goes down"
A day had come when we were like one:
- Weapons up, never surrender!
Oh, I saw the gleams of gold
We'd kill and die conquering a virgin world
The hold corrupted by the honour
Living forevermore, leaving today
Back to my place, I've got
Nothing to say!
Guilt and shame, it's all so insane
Pagan gods die with no defence
And we could go no further at all
Digging the graves of our conscience
Oh, the sounds, they still echoe
All of us drifting on seas of blood
The hope hidden behind the horror
Living forevermore, leaving today
Back from this land, I've got
Nothing to say!
Living forevermore, leaving today;
For all what remains I've got
Nothing to say!
Oh, how many years have gone
Every morning I bare myself from love
The love rising up from the sorrow
Living forevermore, leaving today
For all what remains I've got
Nothing to say!
Living forevermore, leaving today
For all what remains I've got
Nothing to say!
Living forevermore - Nothing to say!
Back to my place, I've got...
Living forevermore - Nothing to say!
For all what remains, I've got
Nothing to say!
SILENCE AND DISTANCE
(Music & Lyrics by Matos)
Been here for so long
On the morrow I'll dare
Silent and distant
Reaching out, unaware
Stealing the whispers
From my deepest request
And you watch me
Waiting for something new
My hands, as empty
As my body and soul
Could keep pretending
But in the heart I'd be gone...
Still stare at my face
But lost seem your eyes
Keep hold of the sails
Against the blue sky
Ooh, I'm intending
A way back to the sea
This emptiness burns inside and
Leads on for endless miles
Don't let me go (Don't let me go don't you let me go don't let me go)
Away across the sea (Don't let me go don't you let me go don't let me go)
It may be much more wide
Than what it seems to be
Ooh, I'm still searching
The way back to be freed
The loneliness hangs around us
However we can't see
Now let me go (Now let me go now let me go now let me go now let me go)
Away across the sea, (Now let me go now let me go now let me go now let me go)
The waves can't be as high
As they pretend to be
And now I know
In my heart, I won't forget
The sails against the blue sky
That taught me how to live
... with no sorrow
And tomorrow we'll share
Silence and distance
'till our faults are repaired
You'll be the mistress
Who I'll never forget.

(Salve salve Iemanjá)
(Salve Janaína)
(E tudo o que se fez n'água)
(Jogam flores para o mar)
(Deus salve a Rainha)
(E o meu passo nessa esfera...)
All I see (Salve salve Iemanjá)
Floats with the wind (Salve Janaína)
- All the miracles of the water (E tudo o que se fez)
Are the miracles never seen (N'água)
Somehow my (Jogam flores para o mar)
Life now begins (Deus salve a Rainha)
- This music that's been played through time (E o meu passo nessa)
Now starts to reach my feet (Esfera)
Feels like the (Um caboclo de orixás)
Flood of my needs (Logo deixa a Terra)
- From the harmony of forever (Vai de encontro à sua)
Sound the melodies of the sea (Sina)
And you will (Onde o céu encontra o mar)
Know on the way (Achará seu porto)
- I'm coming back to my enemies (E é assim que isso)
I'm turning around I'll be (Termina...)
Just coming back to my last days (Que isso)
I'm coming back to the sea! (Termina...)
So... why won't you come with me, my friend?
Thrills... like we had before (yeah)
Hope... never showing up the same
For a lonely man
(Salve salve Iemanjá)
(Salve Janaína)
(E tudo o que se fez n'água)
(Jogam flores para o mar)
(Deus salve a Rainha)
(E o meu passo nessa esfera...)
Since the day we left the land
We've been anxious on aproach
Captain kept showing his plans:
"Under sail we go!"
Deep the ocean's blue I stare
The reflections of my soul
We have with us a special guest
And for him we made a toast
Carolina IV took a river to the sky
Seven men on board taking part
To take their hearts around
All around, around the world!
All I can recall that day
On that very day for sure
All hands up against the haze
As we attempted the return
Carolina IV took the river to the sky
One man less on board
Human dreams have sometimes cost their lives
All their lives dreaming
I've been such a fool (I've been such a fool)
I've been so afraid (I've been so afraid)
From my heart to you I say:
- I'll be here to stay!
Nothing much left from the boat
Many years have been and gone
Still I can't forget the past
And the ones I left at home
Carolina IV took the river to the sky
Windy whistling nights
Made me sail right into the wind's eye
Now I'll die singing:
I've been such a fool (I've been such a fool)
I've been so afraid (I've been so afraid)
From my heart to you I say:
- I'll be here to stay!
I've been such a fool (I've been such a fool)
I've been so afraid (I've been so afraid)
From my heart to you I say:
- I'll be here to stay!
(Salve salve Iemanjá)

All I see (Jogam flores para o mar)
Floats with the wind (Deus salve a Rainha)

Somehow my (Um caboclo de orixás)
Life now begins (Logo deixa a Terra)
(Vai de encontro à sua sina)
Feels like the (Onde o céu encontra o mar)
Flood of my needs (Achará seu porto)

All I see (Salve salve Iemanjá)
Floats windy (Salve Janaína)
Floats with the wind (E tudo o que se fez n'água)

HOLY LAND
(Music & Lyrics by Matos)
We were born in a Golden Age
Beyond the creed
Blown with the winds to meet
The ones who creep
And pray
Unshold feet traces on fresh sand
A map unfold
Spreading out knowledge
Magic and love
And then
... ooh, and then
Carried by wooden gods we leave
Toward the sky
Gushed out the holy blood
From those who die
To bless
Ooh, and dance...
Ooh, still dance...
Someone has sent somebody here
To bring an age long disappeared
Holy Land
Throw your scars on me!
My soul just tends to be
Your friend
Holy Land
Holy Land around
Holy Land
Holy Land is all...
Someone has sent somebody here
To bring an age long disappeared
Holy Land
Show your signs to me!
'cause I'm still here to see
Your face
Holy Land
Holy Land around
Holy Land
Holy Land is all...
Holy Land
Holy Land...
THE SHAMAN
(Music & Lyrics by Matos)
Oh boys, I've seen the old man;
Straw mask around the forehead
The blaze, a blast and the awakening dead
(The magic seeds will spread...)
The bleeding warrior, he has fought
(Healing leaves, piranha teeth, nobody leaves this place 'till the dawn!)
Against the passion, for the love
(Serpent skin, a savage scream, don't you believe, it grows and grows...)
Oh
Boys, it's all so easy:
Warn up the soul
While the body is freezin'!...
I swear it!
Against the men for the land
Against the beast to survive
Against the demons to keep the faith
(The spirits and the fate...)
A word - together they will shout!
(Run and pray if you're afraid you better stay away from it all!)
A rumble shakes up all the ground
(Start to sing, to turn and spin, get rid of all your sins right now!...)
Oh
Boys it's all so easy:
Warm up the soul
While the body is freezin'!
A word - together they will shout!
(Healing leaves, piranha teeth, nobody leaves this place 'till the dawn!)
Against the passion, for the love
(Start to sing, to turn and spin, get rid of all your sins right now!...)
Oh
Boys, it's all so easy:
Warm up the soul
While the body is freezin'!
Still we can hope
A single word together;
Warm up the soul...
Boys, I swear I've been there!
MAKE BELIEVE
(Music by Bittencourt, Matos)
(Lyrics by Bittencourt)
Sat beside the meadow
Watching weeds agrow
Cleaned up all the ashes
Of my soul
Wrote down my own sentence
Now you take your way
Fades the last remembrance
Of your lovely pretty face
I, after all
Just a lonely man - a lonely heart!
Working on the future
Floating on fate
Faced the circunstances
Cleared up the shades, so
Make believe
There's no sorrow in your eyes
Can't you see
We could never get back from the start
Minutes waiting, life's been wasted
... maybe I wanna die some other day
some other day
Hear the whispers of your hope
The answer wasn't told
No, don't laugh seeing me cry
The end I've left behind (... the whispers of your hope are left behind!)
Make believe
There's no sorrow in your eyes
Can't you see
We could never get back from the start
Minutes waiting, life's been wasted
And I've tried
Maybe you deny
Words of peace
For the future of our lives
Bring to me
Something else than a broken heart
I won't wait 'till
My life is wasted
... maybe I wanna die some other day
another day
Another day
Another day
Another...
Maybe I wanna die some other day
Make love
My past
Deeper
??????? your love
Scars no
No more scars
Make believe
To bring it down
Make believe
Take my scars another day
Take take me take me
Don't don't make me ????
It's gonna feel ???????? to stay
Make believe
Make believe
Make believe
No more lies some other day
Taste your rights
So ???????????
No more lies
Another day
Aaaah!
(Music by Loureiro, Bittencourt, Matos)
(Lyrics by Bittencourt)
Somehow I turn around and see
My nerves break down inside
Maybe you might know much more than me
So tell me what is right to say
Down the weakness of my soul
Lie the secrets, and I know
There's something pushing back
Wish my hands could turn to gold
And my heart would break the cold
To give my thoughts some sense
The turn is close, new century
Still people think they're kings
Now you've got your voice
Your own speech
Don't wait 'till someone else agress
Swimming naked of beliefs
And responsabilities
Just feel the sea of bliss
Mother nature brings to me
In fantastic purity
Everything I need
Like a teenager discovery (teenager discovery)
What's more delightful than this?
Try to remember how good it was (remember how good it was)
Feeling the life as it is
To believe!
New world was born
Out of man's dreams
Now we walk on our own
The angels cried
You've heard them weep
But now it's time to make them sing!
Swimming naked of beliefs
And responsabilities
Just feel the sea of bliss
Mother nature brings to me
In fantastic purity
Everything I need
Like a teenager discovery (teenager discovery)
What's more delightful than this?
Try to remember how good it was (remember how good it was)
Feeling the life as it is
Like a teenager discovery (teenager discovery)
What's more delightful than this?
Try to remember how good it was (remember how good it was)
Feeling the life as it is
To believe!
(Music & Lyrics by Matos)
Three cliffs there stand
High above where high winds howl
Surrounding silence
Three birds climb, then turn to fall
Waiting for someday when the ocean and sky
Will cover up the land in deep blue
Renaissance is over and I wonder: Should I
Always be the same once again?
Take my hand and follow
Sweeping trees, the coats of green
Time has no place tomorrow
Feel the good in endless dreams
Waiting for someday when the ocean and sky
Will cover up the land in deep blue
Renaissance is over and I wonder: Should I
Close my eyes and pray?
Always be the same once again?
Waiting for someday when the ocean and sky
Will cover up the land in deep blue
Renaissance is over and I wonder: Should I
Close my eyes and pray?
Feel like I've betrayed?
Always be the same?
Now I'll be waiting for the day when the ocean and sky
Will cover up the land in deep blue
Renaissance is over and I wonder: Should I
Always be the same once again?
LULLABY FOR LUCIFER
(Music by Loureiro, Bittencourt)
(Lyrics by Bittencourt)
On the sand, by the sea
I left my heart to shed my grief
A vulture came begging me:
- Feed me with this piece of meat!
I won't give away
Something I need
On a garden nursery
I let my fancy wander free
Children playing around a tree
Sharing apples happily
Come and rest with me
Lay your hands on dreams
I'll wait here by your side
'till you fall asleep
I'll wait until you cry
All over me the tears you hide inside...
Holy Land
