For many years among the trees There was a creature living in peace. And all of these years she was alone Wondering around, she felt like home. But once in a while she wanted to know: From anywhere else, might someone come? And after some years he came With nothing more than his rage. Run You'll find a place to Hide You're mother nature's Child You'll find a place to Cry And from that moment she lived on the run Wishfully thinking she would go back. Back But never again she'd see her land For humankind had settled down. Down Run You'll find a place to Hide You're mother nature's Child You'll find a place to Cry

The more you say it I less believe it Like candy floss castles in the sky Like cakes with too many layers Like matching costumes at the Carnival Like butterflies in the stomach Words mean nothing even if said a hundred times There's no way to fill back the emptiness inside. You know, loving's not the only thing that counts It's not enough when time's passing by And that's not the only reason why Since changing makes us strangers sometimes We change and we don't realize. Words mean nothing even if said a hundred times There's no way to fill back the emptiness inside. With staring eyes Look at me now It's not the same somehow. With staring eyes Look at me now We are not the same somehow.

The woman is carrying those flowers today She looks so pretty, as pretty as I say The woman is carrying those flowers today She looks so pretty, as pretty as I say But her face is so pale, and I wonder: If she's going, will she think of me? But the woman's a girl taking flowers today She's taking them far far away. The woman's a girl taking flowers today She's taking them far far away And her face is so pale and I wonder If she's going, will she think of me? Vanished, guilty, she was removed. She didn't understand the chances she took Vanished, guilty, she was removed. She didn't understand the chances she took And her face is so pale and I wonder If she's going, will she think of me? There are so many places where she could have been And all this time has gone by The flowers will be dead by tomorrow And you sitting underground. The time for departure was firmly met Not even the doctors could give you no meds The time for departure was firmly met Not even the doctors could give you no meds. And back then the girl didn't go And with sorrow the flowers where blown.

The invisible spiders Bite me in the dark I don't know which way they go From here The invisible spiders Hiding in the dark I don't know which way they go And I fear Tonight, And every time I close my eyes. The invisible spiders Crawling down the wall I don't know which way they go From here The invisible spiders Bite me in the dark I don't know which way they go And I fear Tonight, And every time I close my eyes. The invisible spiders Bite me in the dark.

Step in through the green gate Watch the sun rays through the leaves With feathers in your hair And bright colored memories. You're ready to defend The anchors of yesterday And behind the willow tree The giants of steel arrive. High up in the Wooden Fortress High up in the Wooden Fortress Don't let the giants win For they'll take away your dreams And everything you'll see Will be faded memories And if the fortress falls You'll have to bare in mind That beyond the willow tree The giants won't arrive. High up in the Wooden Fortress High up in the Wooden Fortress The night time falls and you close your eyes Your mother felt sorry when you cried But at night time you won't fight The arms of the trees get scary in that light At night time you won't fight. High up in the Wooden Fortress
