Remember...

Cold winds may chill a fleeting thought, but rooted memories stay warm forever.

Venia ad vitam aeternam

There'll be no grief if you don't blind me

but I'll take your heart, I'm a foolish thief
don't lie, 'cause you can't trick my mind
but if not known I will ask why.

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
et mendacem memorem esse oportet.

I could be your moon, shining in the night
I could be the light, I'll give it as a boon
I could be your earth, steady for to stand on
I could be your find, whatever for you searched.

Adoratio permanebit
quotiens me eges, adero.

I have tried to see infinity in eyes of someone else
but only for myself have I felt the misery
I didn't recognize what has to be
and lived my life in disguise.

Venia ad vitam aeternam
non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis.

I belong to someone that I'm dedicated to
wanting, having, holding is all gone and done
passes in slow motion one thoughtless moment
and lasts forever this blind devotion.

Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura.

You'll be mine if you don't blind me
I'll take your heart and I'll give you mine
and I'll strife, for all I'm worth
to love and give eternal life.

Firefly (songtext)

We look up to the sky

fireflies are flying high

like little stars their lights

how it feels so free to fly.

I would like to know

but we are ruled by fears below

there's more than meets the eye

there's more than we deny.

Chorus:

We are told our future, fortune

still we live behind a veil

but I can tell you there can't always be

a happy end to every tale.

We look to the skies

at all the little fireflies

even though reality denies

we can fly...

but still we can't deny

our dreams ar not alive.

Chorus:

We are told our future, fortune

still we live behind a veil

but I can tell you there can't always be

a happy end to every tale.

So all that you can do

is all that you can try

every once in a while set your light on fire

and fly.

Forget.

When devils pray
and angels swear

when cats and mice
play fair

when water
changes into wine

world and wealth
will be mine

when love
will be taboo

only then
will I forget you.

the depths of your Eye.

When the storm gathers, there is shelter in it's eye.
But when the storm clears, the eye will close.
Nothing lasts forever...

A burned word

In anger spoken
a letter broken
torn and shred
and set afire.

The words now gone
the damage done
no stay or defence
from the brand of liar.

A heated word
a world of hurt
from a bush of thorns
into a patch of briars.

Spoken and written
the letters have bitten
turned to ashes
on a smouldering pyre.

being difficult

People who are being difficult, most of the time don't understand it themselves.
That's why they are being difficult.
I don't understand that...

Succes

Succes, everybody wishes it for you, but nobody wants you to have it.

cheaply expensive

It doesn't matter how much you earn.
It matters how much everything costs.

away

Going too far has usually nothing to do with distance.

nod & neglect

When I explain something and people just nod, then I know that they don't understand a thing.

getting up

"Sleep: A completely inadequate substitute for caffeine"

bastards

Some weasel took the cork out of my lunch...

get what's coming

Judge if you want. We are all going to die, and I intend to deserve it.

smartass

Darkness is the absence of light.
Stupidity is the absence of me.

add's-r-us

Now all NEW! With free spelling-, grammatical- & writing-errors!

I & me

I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.

he?

To get more doesn't always mean to loose less.

Willingness...

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

Image...

God is just an imaginary friend for grown-ups.

air

A dream is an island of something in a space of nothing.

I see

A wise man sees through the fakeness of what the general stupidity admires.

they're coming for you

Just because you are not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not following you.

Just to know...

To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.

When in doubt...

I used to doubt a lot, now I'm not so sure of that!
