THE LAST SUPPER

Supper was served and waiting alone I would find

Absent your hand and your mouth

Abandoned the bread and the wine in the table

Sorrow was served to my heart

Thought that my best days were gone there forever

I was so young and unwise

Choked with the tears that vanished my early years

I think of bread as a yearn or a poison and…

Bread was my memory and I took the pain with me

Nowhere my old man to be found

As I hold to memories, life has refused new springs

And that who I lost is who I was

You were my sea and my shore and my lighthouse 

You were my well and my land

You tended a dream that you walked like a seer 

That what you sow is what you reap 

We flew to your hand like the birds to the fountain

 

We were the merriest flock 

You laid on your land and you made it your raft

I know I will meet you downstream 

I set a sail on my pen

And the wind will bring all the words that we never said

You stand as a throne for me and I’ll be the bird that sings cause words are the fruits that I can hand

 

Cheer for the memories life was prodigy, nothing more precious to be found

ODYSSEUS

Life set a sail in my soul

And I sailed to an empty sea

Wretched man coming home

From the ruins of Troy

When the wits of my mind

Weaved a lie in my path

Washed away in the sand 

Yes, the wounds that I have

They set a siege in my heart

And I felt all was lost

At the end of the world

With all my deeds left behind

Heard a voice inside

By the keeper of winds

To the greatest of us

Will bring us the words and the will to carry on this mystery

Back to home in disguise

Here I come, if I drift, now I know: what’s above is what runs deep

Come sail with me, to the depth of my dreams

THE CYCLOPS

*Even though the available recording has no voice in it, I wrote a lyric for narrative purposes, which I happened to record, but decided to leave aside because I thought the piano by itself was better.

I saw a man that’s lost at sea

… and in his eyes, I saw the king that he concealed.

But does he know my single eye can look inside and tell him why…

… and I saw his fear, would blind/shade his path and make him strand

So… he ran away, he took my eye the one I had, the one he had

Then he forgo his name so he could escape

He said, he was No One

That spell now falls on Him

And he’ll live as is.

SOPHIA

There was a sea, a sea without borders

A sea, hidden in the land

Buried in the sand

Awaiting for your steps to dress up with light 

There was a tree, who lost all his leaves

In an unending winter

But he offers a throne for the birds in the wind

He wish them to sing

Sophia, you were my spring

But if their feet comes like a flint, will I burn with my song unknown?

There was a man, you might call him a child

Who lived and love a lost promised land

Since the he's stranded and he doesn’t know why

Sophia, you will be my spring

THE TREE

Are my wounds and my deeds such a load that the waves won’t carry with them? Why it’s so?

When the wit of my foes left me here like a tree. Or was it me?

From a pilgrim to a shrine, from a hero to saint. I was lost.

Left myself to penance in the sand (Like a tree)

Now the wind blows the sand, it encloses around. Like a siege

Now I lost all my leaves and I’m dry to the bone. Will I burn?

And if not, write a word in my bark for the lovers to come, let them know

What’s the fate for a man when his home is the past, and he fears

And if fire is not, and my wood is still fit, make a raft

There’s a sea to be sailed and a life to be faced… but not for me

But I guess… it’s still there if you are willing to be

But there’s a chance, comes a bird… and she poses her feet in my hand and she sings, like a breeze

Call a flock, fly away… might the strength of your wings take the weight of my pain to your nest, keep me there

But she says: not the way! If you´re willing to go to the depth of the land, there’s a well.

And if you go, there’s a word, that will bring back your feet and the strength of your wil for your path, in the

sea…

Where you are meant to be lost on your way to the unknown… will you come?

To the depth of my dreams, will be carried away by my song… will you sing?

If you are willing to live with the truth of your heart as a sword… make it so.

Sing along…

THE SIEGE

When I sailed home from the Trojan war

There was a hope for a pleasant path

Once you feel lost comes a lifetime

When doubt unweaves the thread… that will take you to your land

A wretched man who thinks… he’ll never turn to his homeland

And every night fear tears apart… all the chances for your life

When I came back from the Trojan war

There was a long for my cherished land

Once your back to your land

The throne unfilled expects… for the might of your hand

The Queen awaits… with love boiling in her heart

The land demands… the labor of your hand

When I came back being who I was

There was a doubt in my crumbling heart

Once you thought you were triumphant

Your wit has set a horse… deep within your heart

The siege begins, the walls… are rising tall in your mind

No sword, no shield, the strength you know… will not work in this combat

Is it better to sink that an endless siege?

Am I only the king of a pointless trip?

Time will tell what’s my fate…

THE LIGHTHOUSE

Stranded in the sand, bring the wind that takes me back, and I…

Fear the storms that tear me apart

Far from glorious times, all my deeds are far in past, and I’m…

Praying just to stay alive

Once I was a king, but now I'm a vassal of the dreaded winds, and God

Have mercy of this vagaries

Tethered to a mast, sirens sing outside, and yes I’m…

 Headed to a wreck of life

A Cyclope is not a lighthouse

Sirens songs won’t take you home

It’s soon for the answers

Just stay on your path

You won’t find light if you stare at life with an eye that’s blind

Strange as it might be, silence is making roaring sounds in me, and yes I am…

Starting to believe in me

Worlds that may be gone, are growing back for all to sea, and yes I am

The corner stone that’s meant to stand

Running inside me comes a river flowing to the sea, and yes I’m…

Pouring there my heart at last

Stand strong for the reason

You’re meant to be crowned

Patience my heart, there’s a king that lies in your soul at last

Just listen the man in the tower, he’s been calling your name

Follow the man in the tower, he’s been calling your name

A name you don’t know for yourself

It only takes the courage to be It only takes the courage to be…

THE COURAGE TO BE

Rooted in a bald tree 

Stranded in a chamber 

You’re back to life and there’s a light 

You roll the stone and step outside 

Your feet are back in shining sand 

Now you are new, it’s up to you

Words and wounds rust as steel 

They’ll become your crucifix 

Come memories of past lives, wounds can last a lifetime 

They’re masters of the master, prophets of the prophet 

Afraid of new, afraid of truth 

The only judge in inside you 

You said the words that damned you:

“You’re not the man you used to be, you’re no the man you ought to be”: 

I’ll tell you how you are just like me 

You washed your hands when you could pick 

You nailed yourself to a crucifix 

You closed the walls back in your pit 

When fear brought the dark knights, silence was a lighthouse 

No better words, no better winds 

The wisdom of your inner stream 

Your heart is like a fountain 

It only takes the courage to be 

It only takes the courage to be It only takes the courage to be…

ITHAKA

Life set a sail in my soul

I thought my place was a name

And tides, rise and fall, I’m at peace

Now, I’m the shore and the guard

I’m sailing now in a boundless sea

I’ll shine a light when you are lost at sea

Time brought the rain, and brought the spring

And with my roots and with my eyes

I’ll drink the beauty that runs around

And when I’m gone, my remains

Will cast a shadow where you can sit

I’ll call the birds so they sing for you 

And if you come, to my feet

You will eat from my fruit and will drink from my roots, and you’ll know

There’s a truth in your heart that will work as sword when you doubt

You’ll walk the walk with no wounds or creeds

That who I lost and who I was

They have been standing before my eyes

I’ll serve the bread and the wine

Our souls will cheer cause our future’s bright

I left my sad in the past

I’ll burn the boats that could take me back

I’ll burn the boats that could take me back - x2

ALMITRA

You might think I'm a madman

You can take away that you think I'm blind cause I thought

That I knew better than life while

All my words were bright and my mind was sharp, but in vain

I'm not quite deep for a wiseman

But the winds have changed, they have brought my voice from the depths

We are a step ahead of a world that fears of the light

And a step behind of the world we dream in our hearts

Take a leap of faith, take a step ahead as a dance

And dance, just dance you lovers of life...

Break the spell of this fool now

My guitar has weeped and my voice has cracked with the pain

Cause from time to time life will break our hearts for a while

I've been blessed with the joy now

Might the loveliest words and the happiest tune be my song

As a lullaby, as a fairy spell that we sing...

Sing, just sing you lovers of life

Take a look at the world now

Looks like barren land if you faint of heart, you will doubt

That I can grow in the stone like

An sprouting weed that you miss to see as it creeps

Cause your heart's the heart that has brought my heart back to life

And you've been waiting for you time

You're reviving rain, life's a dough of clay that you shape

If you pour your heart in the vase you make, you will find

Things are blooming around you

With your tender hands you have toiled the land, now it's time

When you sing and dance, all the world will see how you shine

Shine, just shine, you lovers life

KNOCK KNOCK

If you could pray as once you played, my child you know I’ll meet you there

I'll stand and wait, I'll take me place, the more you beg, the more I say

You just blame your pain and misery on the world you live

Ring, ring... there's a call that you won't take

And you push the truth away and pray, that things will go your way

Run, run... there's no way to hide away

I saw a light, I know you're there, It seems you know I'm here to stay

You can hide and play the fool with me cause you know I'll wait

Knock, knock... someone's calling at the door

You know reason is the faith of men when they're too afraid to believe

Hey, hey... will you shut the door to me?

Child, child... will you miss the bliss I bring?

Well, well... what you want to get from me?

Knock, knock it's just heart that calls inside and he's come to show you the way

Just walk outside leave the fear behind cause now it's time to be free 

Dance, dance... if you'll walk your path as me

Sing, sing... if you trust your truth as me

Shine, shine... with the brilliance of your heart

Knock knock call with your heart the hearts of the men that wish to believe

Show the world what you have to sing, so it knows it's time to be free

Will be free, will be free...

MUSTAFA

Open the door, let in your heart

And bring on bring on, the treasures you find

We will not hold the gifts that we have found

The light of your love, the bliss of your heart

Has brought my spirit back to the light

And now I'm standing in plain sight

I was a treasure that wished to be found

So dig on dig on and one day you'll find

I'm seed and flesh and throne where you can stand

Cause under the tongue of the poet lies the key to a kingdom that we will unbound

And now I sing my words will ring out loud

That we were the thirst of the stream of life, we are the dream of a dreaming might

Let's build the world we dreamed once in our hearts

King and Queen, together at last

Forget the days of fear and doubts…

ECHOES OF RAIN

I was standing alone where I thought I could

Hide from the light and the rain

You came like the most soothing rain and the

Rage of the storm, such a might to behold

Now that you’re gone I still shake with the

Echoes of rain

Despite you’re gone I’ll come to bloom again

My song will wash away all the pain

In this life you know, the birds will sing

Their song and fly their way

But come what may, my voice will bring the

Strenght so we rise again

Boy, you’re like a bird, and wherever you go,

You’ll take the

Echoes of...

NIE DAM SIE

*Nie Dam Sie is a polish expression which I heard from the famous pianist Arthur Rubinstein, and it roughly translates as “I will never give up”. 

Once came a light, and then came the doubt in my heart of the truth of my inner path

I'm thinking too much, and trying too hard to put chains on a soul that's just passing by…

So I’ll give up to try, but I’ll never give up on the light of my heart

I'm singing a bit so you know it's me 

My heart is again for thee and the tune that I sing is my Victory 

The fact that I sing is my Victory 

My song comes across with the might of a flying kiss

Don’t give up the fight and please never give up on the light of your heart

I'm singing again cause you might have missed

I've written an hymn for thee and the like in the land so we sing out loud 

Me and the like in the land we will sing out loud

The love you gave once to my soul has just turned my tide

The love you gave once to my soul has just turned the tide

Once there was a doubt, but now in my soul is the strength of a faith that is hard to find
