MELHORES MÚSICAS / MAIS TOCADAS
after forever - alone
(Heart cover)
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
CHORUS:
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
CHORUS
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone
after forever - beautiful emptiness
You're the worst of all
With all your accusations and compunction
I can't suffer this duress from someone so
Depraved and selfish
You embody all that I've been through
Without you I am sure I will be loved
My existence conforms to your distress
Your ambition, the cause of mine
A disruption, I'm nothing, even less
Misfortunes never come singly
And I was there to say
You don't allow me a single place
Nor any love into your lives
An unpercieved, annoying presence you'd
Rather ignore
But in m life you know you'll leave a
Beautiful emptiness
Where you used to be
Impotent screams
Will turn into the love of silence
My liberation, then silence
Will be perfect and pure
It's all in my dreams
I'll remove you
And all our mutual disgust
In my dreams
I solve the problem by removing it
My wish is to see you grovel
Like you once forced me to!
There's no other way, here's my course of life
A path without the sickening trace of you
I need the beauty of a cleared, pure world
This eternal interruption of your rash life
Can save me
You don't allow me a single place
Nor any love into your lives
An unperceived, annoying presence you'd
Rather ignore
But in my life you know you'll leave a
Beautiful emptiness
It's sad to feel you don't believe in love
It's sad that you're so cold
And I'll be the same
If you keep on poisoning my life
Drawning in self-sacrificing visions
When you're gone, then we will all be released
It's sad my life has been like hell so far
It's sad that you're the cause
And I will be cured in this beautiful, empty world
Floating, floating away
With your perilous visions and hate
When you're gone, silence will fill up the emptiness
When you're gone, we all will be released
In my dreams I shall rinse my body and soul
My wish: the accomplishment lies here before me
In my hands
I will be released from your accusing eyes
And torrents of verbal abuse
You'll know the causes are your own mistakes
While life flows out of you
And exempts me forever
after forever - ex cathedra
Ego iubeo et tu sequaris
Nemo mihi obloquatur impune
Ex cathedra
A deo ipso verba mea ad vos proveniunt
Non obsequentes exsecratio condemnabit
Subicite fato vestro et obtemperate
after forever - monolith of doubt
The ordeal has begun
To oblige the unknown, within me
As I drown
Cannot remember, cannot think
As I sink, free
Near the monolith of doubt
Creeps the fear
The fear to lose yourself
In the severe reflection
I don't know
A flashing moment that has frozen me
My whole existence passed by
Through the trusted eyes of a mirror
But it wasn't me I could see
This monolith of everything that I have been
Is vacillated and aghast
The inexorable time has taught me once again
That my features will change and macerate me
See, it's me, my monolith of doubt
after forever - my pledge of allegiance 1
She kept her beauty concealed behind a curtain of suspense
and endures her fate, molded by an ancient culture
The honour wasn?t allowed to be injured
She is going to live as her community expects her to
I find myself confined between furtive desires and feelings of guilt
the letter:
These are my last words, I?m gonna leave you
I can?t stand your narrow mindedness any longer
Forgive me...
after forever - two sides
Somehow everything's getting worse
My fight is just one of their struggles
And have I seen it all
Oh no, now their hate's reaching the top
And guess who's to blame
And guess who's responsible
If pain is our line
The one that connects us in life
Should we hold on
I only feel their shame when I'm near
Life should be more than this
Should be warmer than this
Cause there's more grief and pain, oh yes
There is more than what I caused
Things beyond me
And their eyes reflect things
They'll never say out loud
If pain is our line,
The one that connects us in life
Should we hold on
Our dreams, ambitions and passion
Our plans for the future, our combined goals
A life with status, respect and adoration
Our wishes and hope destroyed at once
Without those things to connect us
A life together is even worse than alone
We all need two sides of the story
Two sides,one can become a reflection
Of the truth, a lie
You'll be judging soon
Two sides, they both have their emotions
Opinions and thoughts
On who's to blame on reality, can you tell
If pain is our line
The one that connects us in life
Should we hold on
after forever - attendance
Beauty and destruction
Pride and honour
Freedom, elimination
Speak out loud, hide
Now enter, here is our dreamworld
View the splendid sights
You can always tell we never learned, we'll never learn
Blindness and silence
No one dares
Action and reprisal
Raise your voice, die
Now enter, here is our dreamworld
View the splendid sights
You can always tell we never learned, we'll never learn
Now enter, here is our dreamworld
View the splendid sides
You can always tell we never learned, we never will
Oh, how will the earth be
seen for the first time?
Oh, how will the earth feel
touched for the first time?
Entwine and iconize
Passion ignites
Suspicion and betrayal
The voice of violence speaks again
Now enter, here is our dreamworld
View the splendid sights
You can always tell we never learned, we'll never learn
Now enter, here is our dreamworld
View the splendid sights
You can always tell we never learned, we never will
after forever - being everyone
Who am I at night
When my eyes are closed tight?
Who am I, and where
When eyes see far beyond?
Every border, every dream?
Every hidden memory?
Every nightmare, truth or dare
Who do I see now?
Look at me, tell me what you see
Are we just being everyone?
Where am I, tell me
What should go, what should stay
Where am I? Where am I?
And where shall I go tonight?
Every night a different theme
Every time you're in a different dream
Am I me there?
What am I?
Who will I be now?
Look at me, tell me what you see
Are we just being everyone?
Look at me, tell me what you see
Are we being everyone?
I cry, I fall
I love, I hate
I know many,
Though no face ever stays
I breathe, I fly
I kill, I die
Though there's nothing that I know
No one can recall where I have been
Or who I was
Look at me, tell me what you see
Are we just being everyone?
Look at me, tell me what you see
It's me, being everyone
after forever - beneath
Bewildered by silence
Stuck by its questions and lucid ways to make us aware
I did not know how cruel that could be
That so many cases will never be solved
That so many stories will never be told
I did not know how cruel that could be
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath,
If we just fear and don't fight back?
How many questions left unanswered?
How many tears and inner strength shall we need?
How many times can we encounter this again and again?
How many things exist that blind us?
How many forms of brutal violence can we see?
How many images of pain will make us numb
So hard, so cruel, we fail to see, we fail to feel?
So afraid, even without the courage of despair?
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath,
If we just fear and don't fight back?
Afraid of ourselves, arfaid to stand up
I did not know how cruel that could be
We failed to see, we failed to feel
Still afraid, what if you love someone?
What if this happened to your loved ones?
What would you do if you were there at that time?
What makes you act like nothing happened?
Nothing's wrong, you're doing fine?
What makes you think you are immune to this?
What drove us so far to the edge of tolerance?
If judging and accusing is so easy, then why
Why still?
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath,
If we just fear and don't fight back?
after forever - between love amp fire
Mother: Here I am, the future is mine
Father: And mine as well
We'll stand at the top of a prosperous society
Mother: Our dreams can become reality
Both: I am in charge of life's great circle
I control my path of wealth
Ambitions high, burning
The flames burn deep down in our souls
To be known for efficiency and passion
Mother: Separate goals but fire shared
Father: We both need our professions
Do what you want but I'll never give up mine
Mother: Oh, I can think
I can work
I don't need your support
Our love is pale, but it's not in my way
To share our lives, our fire
Father: I shall become a man of distinction
We can share our lives, our fire
Parents: Ambitions high, burning
The flames burn deep down in our souls
To be known for efficiency and passion
Ambitions, dreams,they're burning (feel it burn, in our soul)
The flames burn deeper towards our goals, our needs
Suddenly, we have been careless
A new life, a new dimension
It disturbs our solid future
It puts out the fire we both need
It's a choice between the passion
Or the love that can be saved now
See the child here as a saviour
Choose for love and let this life begin
Father: We have been careless but you have provoked it
Your weak search for more love between us, a blind emotion
Should I believe that this new life can save us
A saviour, a prodigy, so choose for love and let this life begin
Father: Look, we have to consider this carefully, right?
We never really thought about having a baby.
Mother: I know we never thought about it before, but I think we have
to find a way to keep this baby.
There's more in life than just having a succesful career!
Father: No! That career is what we've worked for! I haven't got the time
to raise a brat!
Mother: But, this baby could bring us together again. And we'll still have time left to do the things we've always wanted.
Father: You think so? If we wanna keep it, would you be able to take care of it and keep your job?
Mother: Well, I think we'll both need to compromise. But if we work together. I mean, we're still young, we can mannage it!
Father: Don't pressure me!
Contemplative: See a birth, a saviour, a curse
See these lives, they see this as a choice
Between their life together, between love and fire
Father: With this child we must make choices
It can save us if we want
We have a life together, no choice between love and fire
Mother: Feel it, this life in me, moving
With this child we must make choices
It can save us if we want
Oh, I fear it, the path we take
Is this a choice anyway, between love and fire?
Parents: Ambitions high, burning
The flames burn deep down in our souls
To be known for efficiency and passion
Ambitions, dreams, they're burning
The flames burn deeper towards our goals, our needs
after forever - beyond me
I know I'm alone, but somebody's watching me
Follows me everywhere I go
A cold flow surprised me again, I shiver
The presence of something, I can hear it's breathing
Leave me alone, wherever you came from
Hearing so much voices, no one's talking
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, wherever you came from
Hearing so much voices, no one's talking
Running for something, nothing, in the black of the night
Creeps around you, the invisible force that makes you crazy
I can't remember how it feels to be warm, to be alone
Without that fear deep inside
Icons of death float on beyond me
Whispering my name and breathing my fear
The menace of insanity
Inner voices cry out for action
Defenceless as I am
Lost in the alleged paradise
I'm not sure if I am here or elsewhere
Searching for satisfaction
Beyond the frontiers of my comprehension
Leave me alone, wherever you came from
Hearing so much voices, no one's talking
after forever - black tomb
The storm sings through the mountains
While the rain is falling
A tomb opens itself and lights up the dreary dark valley
The warm spirits fill him, enchantment of his glory past
Hear his low voice whisper
Feel his powers
Change the light of darkness
His sanctity, his strength
He will rule like before the tomb closed
Tainted souls live again
The sweet vengeance versus the black spirits of evil
Into the light, back into death, now it is time
It will depend on the righteous or doomed
Like once before open this tomb, for the revenge is mine
Mother of the found, king of doom
The fame of blackness, fountain of blood
Take those enthroned, their poison inside
Let them crawl till the end of time, die
after forever - blind pain
Everything keeps getting worse
The terror at home, the dread at school
I mustn't count on much support
I'm still locked out, it's up to me
How to face the teasing and the pain
Hate, one thing we have in common
Play your game
Beat me, hurt me
A physical release for mental pain
Don't make me explode in your way
This is a chain of torture
A line of pain
No other way to show how you feel
This is the rebel in her, the torment from him
The absence of help, the mothers care
Rage, it burns all around us
Blind pain
So abuse is only weakness
It feels more like a cry of distress
An act of incapacity
Feel the threat
Feel the oppressed ambience
Of having no place to go
No one who'll take care of my salvation
This is a chain of torture
A line of pain
No other way to show how you feel
This is the rebel in her, the torment from him
The absence of help, the mother's care
Here comes the finel episode of terror and pain
Abuse and hope
Here comes the fight between us all
A fight between a love long gone
I'm to blame, but it's their own blind pain
(Mother) Now look where you and your selfish ambitions have gotten us!
It's never been worse! You gotta work, work work, come back without
even noticing me or that ignorant kid of yours! You only think about
yourself.
(Father) I only think about myself, it's me again? You self-centered bitch!
You're the one complaining all the time, but when that kid freaks out, who's
supposed to take care of her, huh?! Besides, it's not my child! Wasn't it ours,
our little 'saviour' of a love we never had? A fucking...
(Mother) Yeah, there is no 'us' anymore, darling! Ever since she was born
and I was left at your apparment raising her, I think about all I ever dreamed
of because of 'our' decisions! We both should have made compromises,
but the only one who did was me!
(Father) Oh, there you go again! You feel awfully sorry for yourself; why
don't you take a look at my side of the story for once?
(Mother) Ah, yeah sure, 'your side'... well, excuse the fuck out of me for being
in your way! A child you never wanted, living in a smaller house than you've
ever dreamed of, and all the while I'm getting old and ugly, right?
You must really long for somebody young and fresh, or if this means already...
(Father) Enough!! Don't you dare accuse me of being unfaithful! That's
how you ruined my loyalty; I can't believe I once fell in love with a...
(Mother) Oh, neither can I, you bastard! Neither can I! And loyal? I dind't
know you're familiar with that word!
(Father) There's a lot you don't know, a lot you'll never understand!
We've lost contact, baby.
(Mother) Oh yeah, really? Well, that doesn't seem to bother you. Why don't
you just go on? Go, go! Drift off away on that little island of yours and don't
forget to drown on your way to a better life!!
(Father) Maybe I will, maybe I will! I'd rather drown than be locked up with
such a freaed up bith and a freaky daughter! I can't believe we're still
holding a conversation about something so stupid!!
(Mother) Fine, go! Just GO!! Drown! I hope it'll be slow and painful!
(Father) Shut your fucking mouth!
(Mother) Asshole... Asshole!
after forever - boundaries are open
I see clearly all my dreams
(you can imagine your whole life)
I know chance is always near
(with a mind full of conceit)
Make my own reality
(do you even know the truth)
Just imagine
Boundaries are open
Cause you cannot control this
(dreams keep slipping from my hands)
My reality differs from yours
(I must do just what I feel)
The power of imagination is strong
(keep trying, again and again)
So we only try to imagine
Will the force be so strong
It will control one's mind?
Will this power delude or widen the madness
That renders blind?
So the frontiers of our conceit
Then will become indistinct to vanish in thin air
Boundaries are open
But don't believe it's real
So does faith have roots in imagination?
Who is right in the grim
And endless fight for revelation?
I cannot tell what's right or wrong
For we all dwell in imaginary borderland
Boundaries are open
But don't believe it's real
