Lyrics:
I'm sitting with the reaper Behind unlocked bars It's eyes fixed on me I'm bleeding, but still alive
My body is free, my mind is trapped You thought you're doing fine and sought to pray "God bless his soul... " and laughed
You were a farce My mind thaws Prisonbreak
And this undone deal turned into dust How long will be declared as betrayed?
I pray for a flawed god While the sun appears thru a crack I crawl towards the sun to warm my soul Since hope is as cold as death
You must bring the soul Close to me Where things should become more sensible Death whispers Can I agree?
You were a farce My mind thaws Prisonbreak
And this undone deal turned into dust How long will be declared as betrayed? I had the kindness in me and I lost her How can life go on like this?
You fall where I tripped
It was made to hurt us through betrayals I hope we are healed soon I gotta try, I gotta lose I gotta take on me You betrayed me I betrayed you I betrayed myself You betrayed me I betrayed you I betrayed myself
And in this fake life, I woke up in time And my pray that he can save your life

Lyrics:
Once tomorrow always stays the same Here comes another day Don’t get me wrong
Whether you lose your faith or you lose your trail It’s just drink away I’ve got this wrong
You suck up all their lies I got no game to play
Why the hell does it have to be this way? We can never fail…don’t get me wrong
Don’t waste my time pretending you’re frail I know your true face… You’ve got this wrong
You sacrifice your life Trying to find another way You put up with this life ‘Cause you ain’t got (no) yesterday
The burden of this life Is you don’t know about today You put up with this life ‘Cause you got no yesterday

Lyrics:
When I see the Christmas lights They remind me of stories of my life I wonder why I became this stain I must have walked on the borderline
[bridge] How I wish I could hold you strongly once again, babe Open gifts with the kids, kiss them and see their faces
[chorus] But today I am behind this window looking inside on Christmas Eve My heart is frozen, feeling torn At least I get to see your smile in tears
It’s cold outside, I hurt inside I just wanna mend what’s been lost in my life it’s been so long
Bridge/Chorus
I’ll never be in the picture with you guys Dreams shattered within memories left behind… so long

Lyrics:
Where’s father Makawee? I hope not defeated;
I Walk under the sun; I’m looking for him , while the eagles scream ;
[chorus] I follow my passion, because I need to know: where is Makawee? Where’s my precious, my untouchable, my guide, my Cherokee
The reflection of the sun; Shows what I’ve become ; A brave heart I see; you knew and repeated, my son you'll raise from the hills;
[chorus]
and on the top of the hill; I saw him in my skin;

Lyrics:
The emptiness of a wrong life; You showed up, stunning, seventeen years old. This true feeling makes us go beyond the stars; The same stars you were looking at, lying on the floor
[chorus] In the silence, just looking; Cause when you’re feeling alone, as told in the tale; Just remember those kings will be there; Remember who you are and things it will guide you;
you brought me hope; and if I’m without you; I will remember your tale;
[chorus]
THE GREAT KINGS OF THE PAST LOOK DOWN ON US
I fixed my gaze on you; I smile and I see you cheek tremble; And when we have a K or a J we’ll still smile; I hope to shine up there for them too.

Lyrics:
I wake up in the morning saying I want your heartbeats to last ... you bet
I woke up in the morning in tears and breathed deeply… Together we can win one more day again
[bridge] I wish to be in your place and make it sway Then you could finally speak sweetly again
This made me a rebel 'cause my prayers didn't come true You showed me how to find my way in your way Did God take you away from me? Did this happen for me to grow up?
[bridge] [chorus] I just want this day to say How your actions will carry me for all my days What I really mean is the little things become the biggest I don't want to lose these memories
[solo]
[bridge] [chorus]

Lyrics:
Sick in the middle of an ocean of nothingness Sick of feeding this guilt I'm broken
Here… sore… blind… blind in anguish I feel this I didn’t say things that could have been said
I regret it What could have I said? Looking for redemption to heal
Throughout the night I felt I was dying This will consume me ’till I find the light You bled in silence, unresponsive, Suffering only in your mind
Here in the night, guilty, fading… Afraid of starting over again I put it all together and .. second chance I gotta feeling it’ll roll
Forgiveness Forgive me …. Sometimes I simply don’t see
Enlighten me Save me…. I wanna escape from hell
Rebuild my life Restore my soul I can Walk each step day after day
In this arid land I can grow integrity I fall on my knees and pray I’ll never go through this again
Enlighten What no longer is seeing I need only a sign
A period of fight A truce to my mind The cure for what never existed
From the new album: Dedicated to my Heart.

Lyrics: There’s something that I’ve been feeling I have seen it again Why are they moving away? Am I doing something wrong?
Should I ask someone or continue to cry alone?
Maybe I still have a long way, To discover my lies Through days that never end Fix my mistakes try to cure
All the wounds I caused or continue to cry alone?
How can something wrong be considered right, don't say it Fear is all around with nails in my veins
Please, I don't wanna feel it again!!
Who’s to blame? I struggle with the pain That I placed upon myself, yeah
So many lies Deep in my throat Wherever I may roam The scars of the past are still gonna shout
[chorus] The future, the medicine To heal the wounds that I will still leave inside again Cut, inject me .... but do not leave me anymore with this pain.
My anguish comes as rain it brings fear, darkness and misery
[chorus again]
The crows perch to your right, do not care only if I have your forgiveness God, I’ll accept it
