Paperplane I can’t unfolded
The car trunk is fully loaded
Wanna go further, but I can’t
When there’s a sudden blackout
Nothing is according to this plan
Chase for the future, but we can’t
You’re the one who keeps us together
We’ve been looking back to good old days
Bittersweet memories
All those good times and the tears we shed
All those careless things we said
Bittersweet melodies
To love someone I care about
To miss someone I never meant to lose
Looking back to good old days
Looking back to good old days
Looking back to good old days
Looking back to good old days - Track Name: Cosmic Wonder
-
Have you ever wonder what’s going on
Ooo in this universe
Comet showers all night long
Ooo in this universe I’d like to traverse
Galaxy clusters what might go wrong
Ooo what else could be worse
Cosmic wonder what lies beyond
Ooo I’ve lost all my words to this universe
Moon is shining upon you
Night is silent anear you
Stars are hanging above you
Sun is burning inside you
Stardusts flying across you
Planets revolving around you
Space expanding before you
All that happens out there
My little star I wonder what you are
My brittle star I wonder how you are - Track Name: Hide and Seek
-
Join me tonight
Play a little game with you
Find me out there
Everywhere we go
Be brave have fun
Hide and seek whatever you do
Wonders of life
Little that we know
There would be times when we
Go round and round
Lost in circles dunno where to go
And then you will find
Light around the corner
Just hang on it will be alright
Be not afraid (and then you will see)
There I’m waiting for you
Just go on it’ll be alright
(That there will be light) - Track Name: Reborn
-
Tragedy, it happens
Sympathy, deep down in your soul
Reality? Yea… many boundaries
Identity, fades away
With no wisdom, your paths are crooked in the desert
With confession, you‘re far from wrong (it’s time to move on)
It’s time to Respond It’s time to Move on
It’s time to Evolve It’s time to Reborn
With no Wisdom, your paths are crooked in the desert
With no Vision, world makes you stumble down the road
With Devotion, you can gain much more (no regret at all)
With Confession, you‘re far from wrong, it’s time to move on
Find yourself, and your sensation
Fight back to the institution
Climbing up the wall of nation
Rebuild this generation
REBORN…… - Track Name: Run Around the World
-
We run around the world
We dream around the world
We run around the world
We seek around the world
Round around around around the world - Track Name: Map Dealer
-
For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day
Before the shadow comes in,
we were dwelling in your place
In the morning it springs up new,
by evening it is dry
For our trouble and sorrow
they will quickly pass away
we fly away, fly away, far away.
Return to dust, o sons of men, o sons of men
He wept our tears in our eyes, in our eyes.
we fly away, fly away, far away. - Track Name: Charlie
-
Take a look Over there
Who is looking for you
Listen up Do you hear
Someone’s speaking to you
Ah oh~
All children of sorrow
Are waiting to be free
You, angels of freedom
For our mere mortal souls
Why’re they hunting you down
What’s that all about
Careful! They’re coming at you
Strive for all that you can
No one can stop us anymore
No one can stop us, heading on
and no one can deny us all
No, they can’t! They can’t kill us all - Track Name: Quiet Place
-
Turn turn turn turn the wipers off off off
watching all the clouds disperse,
it’s like the end of the last encore
Slowing down, the river caught my eyes
following the sun lit path
Passing through the modern town
Drive... Driving by the glistering side,
captured by its tarnished charm
i’ve gotten off the path, too far
I’m lost I’m lost
Bring me to a quiet place Longing for a respite
Take me to this quiet place Far away, this daily craze (Far away)
(Bring me to a quiet place Searching for a sign of grace
Take me to this quiet place Not far away, not far away,
a place to stay.)
Tell tell tell me honestly why I feel so empty, with all i have
Turn... I’ve turned the car around
I’ve seen it all and still alone
how could beauty embrace?
You’re here, You’re here - Track Name: Mr.Q
-
You have a wife and daughter, Mr Q
You have this cozy home
deep in your mind, it seems the right way
You have this well paid job, but fail to communicate.
You have this hatred soul deep in your mind,
Is this the right way?
Dare you to stand up now, It doesn’t matter how
We can change it now We can change it now
Our heads held up high Our heads held up high
You are puppeteered by the big party
Only lies are told But no one is sold
Is this the right way?
You can stand up now It doesn’t matter how
You can change it now You can change it now
Dare you to stand up now, It doesn’t matter how
You can change it now You can change it now
We can change it now...
Our heads held up high - Track Name: Glacier
-
These black ashes coverin’ the sky are falling
This old glacier could not outrun this black rain
What should we see? beyond this grey is sky blue
All that we could see in this darkest time
a fading star
All that we could do in this snowy blizzard
hold on to it all
When the dark is gone, there will be a way
Calm your weary soul
When the light shines through, You’ll find the way
When there’s nothing left at all
Dig deep you’ll see......
Light’s shining through…...
When the dark is gone; You’ll find the way……
When the light shines through; Hold on to it all……
