Lyrics – DEZ MONA – HILFE KOMMT 01 Beyond Redemption by Gregory Frateur 2008 We talked a lot, spoke a lot Dwelled on so long I hesitated to touch you But you pulled me right into your heart It was the first time I felt this way It’s hard to explain you how and why My memory fails again Hollow and full of doubt Is it an hour, a day, maybe a year An hour, a day a year You said it was regrettable A vicious state of mind And I don’t know why I don’t know why It felt like a goddamn fucking lie. Oh your dedication Astonished me The strength you had to stay with me To overlook my pride Overlook my pride But it felt like a goddamn vicious lie. And a blessing it was A gift it seemed A God whom I’ve denied For long, for long Too long, too long Is it an hour, a day, maybe a year An hour, a day, maybe a year. And now I recognize, it lingers on I recognize the coming and the going of your smile Falling apart, we’re falling apart on different times And now I know, now I know Now I know I’m drowning in a well of denial And it lingers on It lingers on and I’m drying out. No calming thoughts crossed my mind Reconsidering the fact that you are gone For an hour, a day, a year No calming thoughts crossed my mind Reconsidering the fact that you are gone For an hour, a day, maybe a year. An hour, a day, maybe a year. An hour, a day, maybe a year.

02 Carry On by Gregory Frateur 2008 Standing on the sidewalk I’ve been here before, I’ve been here too long Staring to the other ones Could they bring me back the things I long for. My whole live I tried to understand Stood in line to gain a helping hand I even wanted to believe in a God But then I had to disrespect my heart So whether I choose to live another life The one I leave keeps me marked. Tell me, what am I doing. Lonesome I’ve been waiting in this waiting game Go on if you want but don’t expect me to do the same Lonesome I’ve been waiting in this waiting game Go on if you want but don’t expect me to do the same And when I taste the morning dew The cause to believe becomes the truth I noticed a certain kind of longing It grows while seasons depart Lighting up our daily journey Throughout the stillness of our house Tell me, what am I doing. Lonesome I’ve been waiting in this waiting game Go on if you want but don’t expect me to do the same Lonesome I’ve been waiting in this waiting game Go on if you want but don’t expect me to do the same

Frateur©2007 For today is a waking day As the Grim Man walks inside my house I kneeled down to the floor As he loudly roared Get Out of Here! Get Out of Here! Oh he directed my path With a knife in his hand And with pale lips He fiercely repeated Get Out of Here! Get Out of Here! And I felt the air getting thin As if the room was on fire And I knew he wasn’t here For pleasure or desire I need to Get Out of Here! Get Out of Here! Oh Let us wail in admiration Let us wail among the people, The people here by my side As I Get Out of Here Well it wasn’t luck on my side When he said I must die I’m possessed by the illusion of a spotless life I need to Get Out of Here! To Get Out of Here! And so I thought about his presence With the clock chasing time For a humble approach there was no more time I need to Get Out of Here! Get Out of Here! Oh Let us wail in admiration Let us wail among the people, The people here by my side As I Get Out of Here His bald fist hard And my throat turned dry With a taste of salt From his sweat dripping on my mouth I need to Get Out And his breath caught my eyes And tears they ran down I know I’ve covered up the lie Tried to outrun the prize I need Oh I need to Get Out of Here Get Out of Here I need to Get Out Get Out of Here I need to Get Out Get Out of Here We all need to Get Out

04 In The Yard by Gregory Frateur©2007 It’s just in my defence my lord I’ve asked God to leave me alone he can’t help me no more That’s what they have taught me lord To blame only myself for the flaws in love Would you really make the compromise? To dispel my soul from these distinguished lies, would you really lord? My name is soiled with dirt lord Now the bullet reached the loving warmth of my friend’s heart. I’m in a yard, shallow seeded in her heart In a yard Full of bittersweet thought outgrowing her confusing ground As if the master plan’s conducted with a slow dissolving structure And the leftovers march in separated lines Never to know it’s for a lesser cause What’s the matter with a perfect story? To which the devil holds the key to glory. So now I step forward towards downtown heaven Where strings of violins Keep the lie tight up strong and safe from falling and falling and falling. I’m in a yard, shallow seeded in her heart In a yard Full of bittersweet thought outgrowing her confusing ground

Frateur©2008 All the walls are naked love They are thin and whispering Embraced with traces of morn Dried up in their skin It seems a banned ideal As if we always feel the need To repress our sleeping grief Letting them seize all our beliefs. Ow you said it was okay You pulled a trick on my sympathy And said look at me, you said look at me Ow you said it was okay You pulled a trick on my sympathy And said look at me, you said look at me But you’ve changed; you’ve changed How could you handle this betrayal? You lied, you lied Before you spoke about your heart So now, so now I’ll have to make a compromise And I’ll try; I’ll try I’ll give it a try To reach out for you again To reach out for you again The choices that we’ve made Led us to obtain What we started off chained To rekindle a feeling without a name And we all were there those days And we had many things to share We picked it up to go upstairs But remained on the corridor instead Chorus

06 Passage To The Sun

by Gregory Frateur©2007

I want to get close to the sun And the heat she shouts with her fingers I want to get burned by her dance And then I’ll bank the fire with my ashes Cause I’ve been captured in her light. Yes I’ve been captured. I’ve been captured alive. I want to get near and touch her skin See how nicely it’s shaped on the outside Embracing the nearness of a trusted one And then I’ll bank the fire with my ashes Cause I’ve been captured in her light. Yes I’ve been captured. I’ve been captured alive. If I arrive and discover her beauty After she has welcomed me in I will send you all a beautiful postcard And my ashes, they will rest in her fire I want to get close to the sun And my ashes, they will rest in her fire

07 Road by Gregory Frateur©2008 Till the end of my life Until the end of my life Choices burning out With plenty hold on We fail to capture somehow Drawing, drawing new starts Unfolding small changes in time Can’t I see? Am I too blind to believe? Passing once so dear Dreary in it’s heart Figures with dried up smiles Roads bleeding with our lives Can’t I see? Am I too blind to believe?

08 Jack’s Hat by Gregory Frateur©2007 Drifting days passed on by, where the warmth was hard to find And the crickets sung their endless song with unknown beauty to enthral The ground on which I softly moaned kept most secrets from being told It’s here I shaped my views, oh lifeless they seem and also cruel Many foes obscured my goal but I kept standing, standing low Why I never consider a compromise is cause Jack’s Hat drags me down Gentle I pursue damaged goods, the kind that’s always been misunderstood I friendly declined what they handed me out and I collected their sorrow for my own account Finally I dared to face Jack’s path, where the fog tastes sour and my hands fill with sweat On the streets, in my home, and the church where I belong and the hill where he waited to take me along Well it was bitter from the start as my luck ran out, for my shallow state of mind had made me blind There’s a bad boy now and he’s coming round, oh he lingers in fire with guilt on his smile And yet they say no harm is done, but it’s carved in blood on the loop of the gun I’m not turning back to hide and forget, this time I’ll dig it up to see the size of my debt Cause Jack walks into the night, with a shade of death around his head His coffin buried in the deep brown ground, but at this very moment he walks through town Oh it’s Jack’s Hat! It is Jack’s Hat! And it’s hanging on my hat-rack One finger pointing at my chest! He’s here to claim my Heart Oh it’s Jack’s Hat! Well it’s Jack’s Hat! And it’s hanging on my hat-rack Jack’s Hat! It is Jack’s Hat! And he’s here to claim an instant payback Jack’s Hat! It is Jack’s Hat! His sweat sizzles on my forehead Jack’s Hat! It is Jack’s Hat! With God and the Devil in his pocket Jack’s Hat! It is Jack’s Hat! He’s wandering around my doorstep Jack’s Hat! It is Jack’s Hat! And it’s hanging on my hat-rack One finger pointing at my chest! He’s here to claim my Heart

09 Our Time Gregory Frateur©2008 Come on love let’s face the storm Before we drift into the arms of a shattered joy Even the smallest thrills are gone, we’ve waited too long. All these years of being occupied Separated from our friends who sorted it out Long before we saw it falling apart Always looking for a reason A reason to keep it from going wrong, But tell me did those reasons. Bring us the joy? A joy hidden too long Was it a question of uncertainty? Did we see it as our only opportunity? Having somebody near. Someone to keep How foolish to struggle so long With something we would never manage to hold Although we succeeded to run it slow We turned out alone Looking for a reason A reason to keep it from going wrong, But tell me did those reasons. Bring us the joy? A joy hidden too long

10 My Friend by Gregory Frateur©2007 Sometimes I am worried about my friend He brought me to a special place, To believe and understand Like a portrait, it’s shaped with colours, So it seemed, but they’re fading and they bend And I wonder whether it’s the right thing to hold his hand As he shifts towards an end Cause trouble it comes in many forms, I know ‘cause I’ve seen some myself Oh trouble it comes in many forms, I know ‘cause I’ve seen some myself Sometimes I am worried about my friend He remains, he remains to be bound to the thought Once to awake for salvation to resent But then it seems, it seems to vanish again. As he wanders around overlooking his friends And he showed me his captivity in life With the hurt that colours the gaps between the light. Cause trouble it comes in many forms, I know ‘cause I’ve seen some myself Oh trouble it comes in many forms, I know ‘cause I’ve seen some myself Sometimes I am worried about my friend Sometimes I am worried about myself
