Wolf 06:46
WOLF Music & lyrics by P. Serafimov When in the evening dusk kills the day and silent darkness falls The full moon rising chases away the sleep with a fairy light. And then you hear the howl of the wolf cutting in two the night The sparks of fire that flash in the dark are bringing to you delight. Tonight the forest is singing its song So many secrets it keeps for so long A forgotten story tells about a human lost in the night Then he met a lone wolf - the king of the forest twilight And the human asked the wolf about the road to the town The wolf answered: “Don`t go to the town, if you want to be free.” He has seen so many lies and so much pain in the town Among intrigues, objection and hate the man`s world is going down. From now on, he has chosen to be free among the wolves Because among the people the spite has already rooted itself. Tonight the forest sings again A song of freedom to meet the man “Join us in the heart of the forest! Now you are one of the wolves and forget the pain. Here`s the freedom, here`s the happiness, Here you can be clean like a summer rain”. And now every night he meets the moonrise, a wolf who before was a man. Now he roves in the wild paradise and hears the nature`s refrain. And people living in the town have all become slaves of the hate. A man eats a man with wolfish appetite, and this is the human`s fate.

Wondering 06:46
WONDERING Music by A.Velkov, lyrics by M.Medarov I`m wondering where my faith has gone Like stolen from a child precious gift. I`m wondering where my power`s gone River flowing from me leaving cold dry sands. I`m wondering where the color`s gone My eyes only see grey trees without leaves. I`m wondering where my dreams have gone Only nightmares come to me in day and night. I`m not wondering anymore I just know there is nothing inside me. Empty space, empty mind, emptiness all around me. I just want you to know what`s left in me. I`m wondering where my faith has gone Like stolen from a child precious gift. I`m wondering where my dreams have gone Only nightmares come to me in day and night. What keeps me in, what lets me go through the troubles? What urges my look to search for food for my prisoned soul? I`ll just go forward and wait for the end of the road, Not a power, not a faith I have in me anymore Which will help me to spread my wings.

The Game 07:43
THE GAME Music & lyrics by P.Serafimov We live in a world plunged in violence Some people play a game obscured by dense smoke Everyone of us is a pawn of their aims And to survive I don`t have a good chance Players are on line, waiting for start Possessed by passion, dial out the cards The chessmen onboard looking afraid They really don`t know what to expect It doesn`t matter which is the game It doesn`t matter which is its name We are losing it anyway The winners are always the same I don`t have the right to vote for my fate But what can I do? It`s already too late I feel like a toy, a “hero” of fools And people around me are nobody`s tools I can`t take anymore, my power is gone I`m feeling that I`m too tired to fight And it is time for me to decide I have to get out of the Game My destiny I already rule with an iron hand I reached the edge and found a door between the life and death I feel no fear, I feel no pain. This is my end Flying into the light, the helpless days I`ll never forget Now I`m out of the game. Already I see The angels of death flying with me. Now I`m out of reach. The closed door is behind me…

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH Music & lyrics by P.Serafimov Like the sun at the end of the day His long life is going down Like a flame burning out in the gleeds His tired eyes slowly fade out He knows - the end is coming close and nothing`s eternal. A human`s born and dies alone. It is the nature`s law. Once upon a time there were Too many people ‘round But now everybody is gone He`s all alone in the town He has the wisdom of all time but now it is useless. Because now under empty sky he stays sole alive. There are no birds in the sky. There are no lights in the night. There’s just nothing as he`s the last man on the earth. He knows that now it`s his turn But he is not just the next one From this road there`s no return There is no one after him …

SHATTERED PIECES Music by A.Velkov, lyrics by M.Medarov Every night I look into the dark sky And search for a falling star to get my dream come true. And every day the story is the same but the wrong seems right And I don`t know why there`s nothing I can change. Searching every night. It`s not my fortune star. I`ve read a thousand lessons and advices I have heard And I`m losing the point trying to save what`s left from my dreams. I`ve lost so many times and many mistakes I`ve done. Maybe that`s my destiny`s way and there`s nothing I can change. New day is coming fast But I didn`t realize the past Every step was wrong Every move was like a storm And fear embraces me and it`s slowing me down. My mind rejects what my heart really needs inside. And the puzzle cannot be solved, destiny`s torn it apart On too many shattered pieces around me there`s nothing I can change.

THE RIGHTEOUS PATH Music by D.Karjilov, lyrics by M.Medarov If I wasn`t blind I would see you dirty faces If I wasn`t deaf I would hear you dirty lies If I wasn`t mute you would hear my screaming soul If I wasn’t mad maybe you would understand me Come to me, maybe I am dreaming. How can I see if I feel nothing? My soul is in danger Every dream`s getting stranger “I want to help you pass the road and feel the real life. Listen to me, let me guide you. I’ll show you which way is the right one.” I don`t need you to show me which way is the right one I don`t need your light I will walk this road alone Although I will fall, this will never stop my journey At the end I`ll know if this was the righteous path “One step, two steps I`ve made. One step, two steps, I see the end. Listen to me, let me show you. I wanna help you pass the road.”

REQUIEM FOR A DEAD PLANET Music by P.Serafimov, Lyrics by M.Medarov/P.Serafimov I`m turning my head back for last time And seeing the picture that we left Only dead silence staying behind And ruins laying on the ground She was forworn, battered and torn - Mother Earth Slowly dying, lonely crying – Ancestors’ land We`re here because of our greed The few left alive – the chosen ones Staring into the Great unknown Expecting the ship to fly away We are looking with hungry eyes into the Space Seeking for some, wild, new–found lands to destroy History tells about the ancient times and Noah`s ark That led the world to new beginning for mankind. That`s not the case for our ship that flies away into the Space. It doesn`t bring a new beginning, only end.

Same Again 03:09
SAME AGAIN Music & lyrics by A.Velkov Many days have passed without your smile I tried to see and tried to feel But is it really enough to understand What is love and what is life itself? Fighting the long days, facing the truth behind Where is hope in this equation? Take me, lead me. Find myself, I will be waiting. Hurt me, drown me. I`m the one that is to blame. Take me, feel me. There is no return, I know it. Hurt me, kill me. I will be the same again... Remembering all the things we had before And all it was, a dream or not Regret was something never known How come we took that road of tears? I`ve always thought I rule my life Reality`s that life rules you Take me, lead me. Find myself, I will be waiting. Hurt me, drown me. I`m the one that is to blame. Take me, feel me. There is no return, I know it. Hurt me, kill me. I will be the same again...
