Songs of my life!

Eis aqui a minha banda preferida

Carry on (Angels Cry -Angra-1993)

Simple minded brain
for now you succumb
Nothing changes your way
This world insists to be the same
based on our mistakes
The flowers fade along the road
Don't blindfold your eyes,
so loneliness becomes the law of a senseless life

Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are in your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...

(go!)

Now we have to face another day
You won't be alone
This life is forcing us to stay
- For how long?
Cold is the wind and thunder struck on a stormy night
But can't you see, I'm by your side
We are marching on!...

Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are in your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...

So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on

Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are in your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...

So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past

So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past

Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on
The remains from the past, to carry on
The remains from the past...




Rebirth (Rebirth -Angra-2001)

Cooling breeze from a summer day
Hearing echoes from your heart
Learning how to recompose the words
Let time just fly

Joyfull sea-gulls roaming on the shore
Not a single note would sound
Raise my head after I dry my face
Let time just fly

Recalling, retreating
Returning, retreaving
A small talk your missing
More clever but older now

A leader, a learner
A lawful beginer
A lodger of lunacy
So lucid in a jungle
A helper, a sinner
A scarecroow's agonyzing smile

Oh! Minutes go round and round
Inside my head
Oh! My chest will now explode
Falling into pieces
Rain breaks on the ground-blood!

One minute forever
A sinner regreting
My vulgar misery ends

(And I) ride the winds of a brand new day
High where mountain's stand
Found my hope and pride again
Rebirth of a man

Time to fly...




Make believe (Holy Land -Angra-1996)

Sat beside the meadow
Watching weeds agrow
Cleaned up all the ashes
Of my soul

Wrote down my own sentence
Now you take your way
Fades the last remembrance
Of your lovely pretty face

I, after all,
Just a lonely man - a lonely heart! Working on the future
Floating on fate
Faced the circunstances
Cleared up the shades, so

Make believe
There's no sorrow in your eyes
Can't you see
We could never get back from the start
Minutes waiting, life's been wasted
... maybe I wanna die some other day
Hear the whispers of your hope
The answer wasn't told
No, don't laugh seeing me cry
The end I've left behind
(... the whispers of your hope are left behind!)

Make believe
There's no sorrow in your eyes
Can't you see
We could never get back from the start
Minutes waiting, life's been wasted

And I've tried,
Maybe you deny
Words of peace
For the future of our lives
Bring to me
Something else than a broken heart
I won't wait 'till my life is wasted
... maybe I wanna die some other day



Reaching Horizons (Freedom Call -Angra-1996)


Rainy clouds covered up the sunny sky
now I know I'll sleep alone tonight
tears and prays will be taken by the rain
And the loneliness in my dreams
And I know I'll never be the same living this tragedy, insane,
All I wanna be is to be free with you, with me
I don't blame the fate but it's too hard to face the truth
It was all just like paradise
just like we wanted to be
far beyond the reason
rest our lives
eternity denies the guilt of reality
senselessness
Fly high, reaching skies
to eagles trying to be free
moments of madness will be left behind
the same horizon but in different lands...

Lisbon (Fireworks -Angra-1998)

Everynight I say a prayer
Look at me: nobody cares
Just a mirror, passing by...
Looked inside:
I've lost my pride...!

Stay with me not for so long
It's alright: no needs, no hope
Such a miracle, looking back...
Time gone by, and life wasn't bad...!

Lord, light my way
Fill these withered, careless hands...

Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down

See, the birds are back...
At the docks and everywhere
Here in Lisbon, realized
This whole world so strange and divine

Lord, light my way
Fill these withered, careless hands...

Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down


Voice commanding you (Aurora Consurgens -Angra-2006)
War games inside your brain
You got to fight alone
Falling back, your sanity has gone

Why'd you ever think that you could run away from pain?
Sorry man, your tries were all in vain

Wandering 'round like a phantom in the dark
And you're waiting for the night to come
Lunacy attacks and you struggle to hit back
You'll be waiting for the morning sun

I'm the voice commanding you
Divided we're nothing – united we're breaking the rules
I'm the voice commanding you
Someday the madness will loose control… over you

Dreaming on, you can fly in a never-ending story
Where the sun will shine every passing day
Free your mind, let your spirit go free into the night
Let the minutes be gone and fly away

Coming in and out the confusions in your mind
Going crazy as the night moves on
Playing with your head now you're wishing to be dead
And you're praying for the dawn to come

I'm the voice commanding you
Divided we're nothing – united we're breaking the rules
I'm the voice commanding you
Don't let the madness assume control
Over you, over you, over you

I'll be there reminding who you are
All the time with no escape
You look inside the voice is calling you
Take your chance it's never late

I'm the voice commanding you
Laying down the law
Divided we're nothing – united we're breaking the rules
I'm the voice commanding you
Can't make me go away… I'm over you

I will never surrender

I'm commanding you
Laying down the law over you
A border line
That you can't hide
The voice commanding you
