MODERN TIMES (Magen/Cegarra)
DICE (Magen/Cegarra)
BLACK HORSES (Magen/Cegarra)
Winded up By love, by the seas On the bank of the factories
We woke up, throwing dice on wasted tables; a sort of spiritual freedom, a random significance. She moved her head, a great deal, then looked me in the eyes and said: I wanna make a rock album!
Black horses all around Waiting for tumble Chasing in a row All the things we fear of
Days pass, Our hands are on the move We try not to break the rules My head is fixed on the shift Oh! How can we do it?
Right on time (Hold the line) We're shaking hard in those cold Modern Times Wasted all By cold, by the flow To hit is a long row to hoe Days pass, We stand for a dream And fall back to feed the machine My legs are begging for a lift Oh! How can we do it?
Right on time (Hold the line) We're shaking hard in those cold Modern Times It's all so cold We count the time And on We go And go on
We try so hard in those cold Modern Times We're shaking hard in the cold
THE MINING (Magen/Cegarra) The creep, the drill In a rocky shaft Our head is on coal And the adit’s dark And tomorrow’s blind
Wills on rails We’re mining Deeper and deeper again. The grip to kill A madness Our cage is on hold And the veins are cracked And tomorrow’s now
Wills on rails are swelling We’re mining Till we find the sun again. Wills on rails are swelling The mine is Collapsing We will see the sun again! Wills on rails, we’re leaving But do we mind the sun again? Do we mind the sun? Do we mind the sun again?
She said: Words in a desert We’re looking for. High on the road, We hide from the devils Of purple skies. So kings of light: Help us!?
Raise up your hands! And feel the time, Through the time, You’ll become A soul of a desert! ... SHELLSHOCK (Magen/Cegarra/Karsh) In the night, I can’t forget. Tell me your story, you will regret, I kept it so long. Let it flow, I’ll be your shelter... Just find me the answer.
Why walls grow mold? Flash! Untie the rope. Deep inside, Don’t look through the shades. I fear of drowning - an ace of spades, Is this the answer?
Who’s at the door? Shock! I take out the bullets, Tonight I fall, for you. The fall is for you.
MOTOROÏDE (Magen/Cegarra) Long road Longer than pride. Take me To another side. I gave it all And now I’m taking it, back! But without The apprehension I hold for you. Long road Burning inner eyes. Raving wildly, Kicks in right on time And then I rise. I give it all And now I’m taking it, back! And with all The hypertension You holdin’ too.
And I will find a way We ride for a fall Closer to the bound Counting on dice Forever and alone All the things we see fall
But I will find a way In the night We run All around… We run… All around… Black horses will cry for me If I tame my agony.
Yeah I will find a way We ride Oh A way in the night We ride… We ride! All around… We ride… All around…
GERMINATION (Magen/Cegarra) Beneath our feet, the pick blows, to left, to right, further on. And all this time, we’ve known. The ground will change its face, its soil, forever. Beneath our feet, spirit of a spring breaks in strength the way. Beetles on a leaf laying eggs away. And the sound is theirs.
