A Rotten World 04:34
lyrics

A ROTTEN WORLD @ A CONVERSATION WITH GOD In the silent hour of midnight Can’t you see why they’ve left me alone? I don’t know, I could not say... Can’t you see the reason for this? When I feel betrayed by all I’ve known? How I wish we never met... Deep inside I know they’d feel so happy When they don’t see my face And they still expect things to be normal Like before, oh how nice! As I endured in this rotten world With hope and light far away I almost lost my faith in me And still my fate never changed... Despair and agony within That only You’d understand Despite I’m doing all my best I know that they never cares Tell me why do I feel that only I have a heart? In the shadowed grace of all my honesty I’m still lost... But comes tomorrow; will I see another day? Maybe not... Hey God!

My Shattered Heaven 04:45

MY SHATTERED HEAVEN Falling down from grace I saw trails of blood in black No more tearful goodbyes As I plunge into the depths Lost have I the light On my steps of thorns and shame In this Circle of Life Do I still have a place? Bestow upon me some faith To piece this heaven of mine Like withered hopes in my hands Will they still have a good home? I ride this whisper of Death On battered pride to the sky This gleaming field in my mind Will you destroy it again?

Blue Morning Rain 03:31

BLUE MORNING RAIN Verse 1 If you’d give me just a moment of your time I would take you back home through darkened skies When our lives were but days of golden rain Still I’d cry for the day we said goodbye Chorus 1 So forgiveness is gone now? Will the sunrise unfreeze our hearts? Where do heartbreakers turn to? Will they find out how much they’d lose? Verse 2 For the love of the blue morning rain And the fire-lit skies on the day we met I would walk through the flames just to say I told you That I can’t walk away from what we’ve done... Chorus 1 So forgiveness is gone now? Will the sunrise unfreeze our hearts? Where do heartbreakers turn to? Will they find out how much they’d lose? Chorus 2 Am I the reason we’re so cold? Did we take things too fast too soon? Should I pick up the pieces now? Or maybe I’m just a sheltered fool?

Sweet Little Angel 03:26

SWEET LITTLE ANGEL Sweet little Angel, darling of my heart You looked so happy in the field Sweet little Baby, apple of my eye Brightens my life forevermore… You were a fighter, beacon of courage Even when pain became your friend You always told me, you’ll always love me And “Don’t you cry for me no more”… Never did once you’d stopped spreading laughter Beaming with hope when there was none Always so cheerful, everybody loves you Braving your illness with a smile… Though it’s been two years, still I would see you Sharing a laughter with your friends Here on this golden field, under the blue sky I know you’ve found your peace… Sweet little Angel, darling of my heart You looked so happy in the field Sweet little Baby, apple of my eye Brightens my life forevermore…

And So I Walked Away 04:00
lyrics

AND SO I WALKED AWAY I’ve painted my future gold I’ve colored my past in silver Proud I was of all my planning So secured in facing the world But in the midst of my planned life I could never thought I’d meet you Yeah, we were so happy at first You’ve shown me the life of Lovers’ Leap But then it started My world unravelled Two years since we met I saw your true side And so I walked away With nothing left to say And so I walked away Into the darkness of the night It’s really not the same I never liked this game ‘Cos I love life but you destroyed All hope and turned it black! You’d said you’d never hurt me But there was venom in each your words You’ve watched my every move But when I asked you’d act so surprised When we argued you’re always on top You would never let me speak my mind All my beautiful things turned to gray This despite you apologized Though I know you’ve changed your ways Yeah, I see you’re different now But I fear you’d never learn Thus the pain remained inside And so I walked away With nothing left to say And so I walked away Into the darkness of the night It’s really not the same I never liked this game ‘Cos I love life but you destroyed All hope and turned it black!

Nowhere Bound 04:40
lyrics

NOWHERE BOUND Verse 1: This is a song of simple feelings Of which no one would care much to hear A sense of emptiness so deep and pure A salt in the wound that festers still Verse 2: I saw the young and old went hand-in-hand Into the path so golden… And saw the sense of satisfaction that They painted in their hearts Verse 3: I saw the dreamer and his dreams realised And hey, so what, lucky you! I heard the teacher and his sick dementia And how his acts came undone! Verse 4: Then there were times when I screamed to myself “Take me home, this is not my world!” But when I woke up in my dreary room That’s one wish that had kept me sane Verse 5 And so that’s how my life had been these days A living dead of yesterdays I don’t know why they’d never let me be And stop making me their wretched doormat! Verse 6 But what can I do, they made themselves dumb And yes, they don’t know that! And so that’s one thing that could make me smile Though I don’t know for what... Verse 4: Then there were times when I screamed to myself “Take me home, this is not my world!” But when I woke up in my dreary room That’s one wish that had kept me sane! Bridge Down in the dumps, I’m down on my luck Kicking up the dust on the windy street Listening to the sounds of shattered hopes Picking up the pieces on my way home Chorus: But home is never gonna be the same This big city had lost its charm I sigh at the moment of the setting sun But I know that nobody cares Living out my life among these fools And without a chance to touch the light…

Hidden Pictures 05:15

HIDDEN PICTURES When I feel lonely I will take your pictures out of my mind <And away we go, and away we go> You look so happy when you’re with me as we talk about our love <And away we go, and away we go> Though in reality you’re thousand miles away from me And probably you would have someone beside you I would have gone to find you but I couldn’t Get it right That was so long ago but seemed like only yesterday… But what can I do in the midst of all those you love? This homely soul could never stood a chance to be yours Yes, we weren’t even friends, to you I was just a face How can you get to see inside my heart? So tell me why… <I’m so lonely, I was so lonely, I will be lonely, always…forever…> Throughout my empty days and nights you were the one who made it right <Yeah, you touched my heart, And you made me smile> I couldn’t think of daydreams beautiful enough than me and you <Though you seemed so near, but you’re just too far> As much as I would wanted to be a part of you You’re always in the sun and I’m just a shadow I’ve watched you through the thick and thin of our schooling years Your smile would always lit my life for the better part But what can I do in the midst of all those you love? This homely soul could never stood a chance to be yours Yes, we weren’t even friends, to you I was just a face How can you get to see inside my heart? So tell me why… <I’m so lonely, I was so lonely, I will be lonely, always…forever…> So here’s my resignation note to all my shattered hopes and dreams <And the tears, the sighs, and the silent stares…> And I will always be with you my darling memories of old… <And away we go, and away we go, and away we go, and away we go…>

This Old Playground 06:05

THIS OLD PLAYGROUND (Verse 1) I hear a distant rumble From the outside world My bed is now my life My air is purified I lay inside a plastic drape Alone in this dark room My pain is now my company My hope has gone away (Verse 2) I saw my favourite pastimes Had moved on far away This old playground that I’m in Is only in my mind... I’m looking through some weary eyes My body’s wasted now The path of gold that I walked on Had turned to dust right now... (Chorus) And in my darkest hour I laid my heart to rest Robbed was I from Life itself I have lost all will to live Both my eyes are dry as rock From tears towards my fate I try to face my Maker now To find a better place (Verse 3) To find a better place A playground in the sky Beyond all tears and pain Where I can smile again...

For One Last Time 05:40

FOR ONE LAST TIME Verse 1 Fifteen years had came and went The sky is not bright blue anymore Though the sun still shines, and life moved on Yet the fateful day seems like yesterday… Verse2 Long ago, there were six good friends Seven year olds, still new on earth The days of school, had just begun A friendship was born that could never die (Chorus) There we were laughing at each other Playing games that we like to play Singing songs that we want to sing We never know that life is hard Cracking jokes that we can laugh at Yeah we fought but it never lasted We forged our friendship to last forever Nothing on earth could separate us… Verse3 …Five years later, a tragedy struck My very best friend, got hit by a truck We could only watched, as he fell to the ground A blood-red fate undeserving of him… Verse4 …I still recalled his painful cry As he laid on that rainy road But as he saw me crying next to him He wiped my tears before he died… (Chorus) There we were laughing at each other Playing games that we like to play Singing songs that we want to sing We never know that life is hard Cracking jokes that we can laugh at Yeah we fought but it never lasted We forged our friendship to last forever Nothing on earth could separate us… Verse5 …And on this day of that fateful day We came to visit his resting place A flowered mound, a peaceful plain And with him buried our memories… Verse6 But at least we know that he’s free at last To play in the gardens of Paradise I pray to God to bless his soul As I shed my tears, for one last time….
