MATCHES ON THE ICE - Hello! - This is the night - The gloomy night - What can I see? - Two sparkling eyes - Matches on the ice - A so pale light of hope in a bottomless pit! - This is the night - Take it easy poor little child - This is the night - The human night - What could you do but wait for the dawn? - Looking up at the worlds - Shaking my fist at you - I will raise my head - I'm ready to fight - Ready for the night - No, I won't sleep tight - And I won't let the bedbugs bite! - Looking up at the stars - Rounding up my dreams - I feel I'm not alone - We're ready to fight - Ready to light - Ready for the rise - Ready for the brand new day

NEW DAYS - It surely happened a holy morning - A long smile appeared in my mind - A new sweet quiet I couldn't suppress - Blowing my weakness away - A new light on my nights - Looked my way in the face - And I got the guts to get over you – So many days – Feeling down anyway – I need a change deep inside - A silent spirit took my shaking hand - He brought me like a friend to the dusty mirror - Was in peace and lonely - I could see an old flame - Growing up in my eyes again - Chorus - Are these my angels who gave me these few words? - “Nothing never ends, nothing's ever late” - No ! No ! Nothing's ever late ! 

STAR ! - I'm not playing a game you see - Just talking to the little girl - Please do trust the stars once more - Oh they are looking after you! - The sun is eternal if you really want - You just have to light the candles in your eyes - You forgot what kind of star you were - Your heart could heat every winter - You could save the little boy - Waiting for you behind the door - Our souls are dancing while we stand in silence - The ghosts all around smile for the miracle - They smile for the miracle - Can you feel the open sky - In your eyes, when you look in mine? - I am the Sphinx in your arms - I'm reborn and face time at once! - You're a star baby, you're a star, baby… - I've got the feeling you're a star baby…

THE CLEARING - There is a place I know - So far away from the laws - From rules and masquerades - I try to forget - Conventions and promises - All your earnest truths - At least I am trying - In that clearing all day long - Shadows and sounds slide over me - I'm raking up the past… - Soon my fingers will touch the light - Trees lend me a helping hand - They clean up my memories - They clear up all my thoughts - Here's no messenger, no angel, no Christ - No hero to save the world… - But just a dancing flame under kind and lonely stars - And that new conscious being is me! – Chorus - Finally I can recall - Every moment fossilized - Finally I understand - Every moment of my life - Finally I do realize - The history of human beings - Finally I have found - A new meaning to my life

YOU'RE THE MONKEY - This is the story of our fathers and mothers - They wanted to change their life at any price - They struggled and survived every day, every night - They were proud of the things they earned, they earned, they earned! - They fought for your freedom and for your dignity - And what do you think of it? What do you think of it? - You're screwed boys and girls and you still ask for it! - Are we submissive beasts? Are we the fools of the century? - You feel free, free! But you're the monkey! - The golden boys laugh and dance when they see - You working all day long and you may think you're the winner! - You've got the Power with your new credit card… - But the factory closed down today! - “What a shame!” you say - “But this is what was meant to be” - Did your dreams die? - Did your dreams go by? - Anyway it's still there - It's somewhere in you…

SAVE US - Auf wiedersehen kleines Madchën - I can see your face in the highest mountain lakes - Oh I can feel you in my head - Oh I can hear you in my voice - Where are you? I miss you so now - Are you an angel ‘round the world? - Tell me the reasons, tell me why - Life's such a drama play! - Save us from the night! - Save us from the night! 

WELCOME INSIDE - So many days, so many ways - Too many sunsets, too many ghosts - So many roads, too many goals…What's mine? - Too many tries, so many cries - Too many fears, so many needs - Too many senses, too many faces… What's mine? - Welcome to life : baby comes to crash - Welcome inside, the Truth is a flash - Don't let it fly, don't let it fly…away! - So many traps, so much lacking - Too many smiles, too many frights - The game commences, the game commences… Let's try! - Will I take anything for the next world? - It's lonely inside, it's so cold outside - Where is the danger? Where is the shelter? -A flame in the wind, tearing the world… Hold on! - Turning crazy or getting wise - Staring at your feet or watching the sky - Army in despair or coming with the sun… Hold on! What is the purpose? What is your role? - What is the play? Who wrote my part? - Is this for fun? Where is my gun? Fuck up! - No time to ask endless questions - Doing what I do, I follow the stream - The stream of hopes, the stream of lights… Get up! - Chorus - No time to waste for the black days! - I do what I do, I go on my way! - I follow the stream! The stream of lights! - I follow the voice! The voice inside! - No time to waste for the black days, I follow the voice inside!

ARE THE UMMITS BACK? - Oh are the Ummits back, back, back? Are the Ummits back? - Do you fall in love? - Do you sing and paint too? - What do you think about life? - What's your point of view? - What did you find in the air? - How do you wear your hair? - Is your world as unfair as ours? I hope not - Are you afraid of us? Afraid for the Universe? - Yeah…

COMING YOUTH - Wrinkles furrowed on your face - Pain didn't spare your heart - It brought tears to your eyes - Doubts rising more and more - Bitterness lies in wait - The stars don't light your night - But the moon already heard this song - And the sun's ready to come along - Every day is a revenge - Every night brings new dreams - Now is coming to you - You‘ve never seen the San Francisco bay - The deepest Scottish lakes - And the Russian sunsets - I know your smile is pale today! - But trust me: it's not time to wait! - You're shining brightly and this world is yours! Go! Go! Go! - Nobody will steal your coming youth!

WHERE ARE THE SPIRITS? - Do roses commit suicide? - Will my angel follow me all the time? - Are we going to get through the end as we promised? - Are we going to be pure and good with a smile on the face? - Where are the spirits? - Where are the spirits? - Where are you, are you? - Where are you? - Will, will we change the world as we said? - Will, will we jump across the dark days? - Oh we feel like the loneliest souls in the world! - Yes we feel like the loneliest souls in the world! - Chorus - Is every word the beginning of a lie? - Do we put the seed of cheat in the first eye? - Are we so lonely and so lost in this endless world? - Every star surely hides something strange inside - Chorus

SPRINGS TO COME - You've not come in vain - All your love - All your smiles - All your praise - Everything's going on - Everything's going on - In the springs to come - I've not come in vain - All your love - All your thoughts - And these shiny days - Everything's going on… - Everything's going on… - In the springs to come
