mild mannered rebel  lyrics

 

Ear to the Sky

The sun rolled up, the sun rolled up

The sun rolled up too high for me

Ear to the sky, can’t hear you speak

But I hear your whisper in every breeze


The sun rolled up, the sun rolled up

The sun rolled up and laughed at me

Told me I’d never find you here

With a fake golden smile from ear to ear


When night came down, when night came down

When night came down I looked for you

And there was your smile, and laughter too

I know that your heart can see me through


The stars came down, the stars came down

The stars came down to earth tonight

Like snow they’re so bright, like fireflies

You’re so beautiful, can’t close my eyes


I Feel the Night

I feel the Night

Moon fills my eyes

It lights my way, reflecting day

But I can’t move, feels like I’ve grown roots


Come and set me free

Make time to save me

Don’t back away, I can’t reach you

Don’t turn away, I beseech you


I see you move

Heart’s torn in two

Run, run away, try to find the Day

I’ll stay right here, I won’t drink your tears


I find myself free

No chain can hold me

Don’t look my way, I don’t know you

Don’t call my name, I don’t know you


Don’t Need You Here

You think that I’m weak but I’m not

So hit me with all that you’ve got

This time around I can’t lose

Your tactics just leave me amused


And just who do you think you are

Excuses saved up in a jar

Put it right back on the shelf

And now write a note to yourself


I don’t care what you’re saying

‘cause I’ve heard it all before

and I don’t need to hear anymore

Your sanity is fading and your talent’s overrated

so just please let me show you the door

I don’t need you here that’s for sure


It’s too hard for me to ignore

‘Cause nothing has changed from before

You’re selfish and hurtful and vain

I’ve had my fair share of your pain


You think that we’ve only begun

The truth is this story is done

I’m tired of you twisting the facts

I’m finished with your sideshow acts


I don’t care what you’re doing

‘cause I’ve seen it all before

and I don’t need to see anymore

Your sanity is fading and your talent’s overrated

so please let me show you the door

I don’t need you here, that’s for sure


See You Through to the End

Eyes wide open can't sleep

as shadows start to creep

A half moon is climbing through

a window in the night


So close yet so far

a cold dark empty star

whispers tears of your fears

Tell me just who will save you my friend

See you through to the end


Eyes closed as you leap

these waters are too deep

As the sun kills your fun

burns your heart away


Right now or just then

all comes 'round again

When will you come 'round to

finding just who will save you my friend

See you through to the end


I whisper my pain and no answer comes

I look to the sky and there’s the sun

shining down cold and bright


Mercy

What do you see with those two

narrow eyes I wonder sometimes

No spoken words are heard but I

swear your voice is in my mind


Say what you will with narrow

eyes but don’t you act surprised

If someday soon those eyes go

wide as I bid you goodbye


Despite my pride today

Despite my pride today

I ask for mercy, mercy on me

I pray you’ll take mercy, mercy on me

I pray you’ll stay


So many times we’ve walked this

road but now the trail’s gone cold

You’ve lost your smile and words we

used to share remain untold


I know you’d rather be with

someone else so unlike me

So off you go don’t bother

waiting for my sympathy


Despite my pride today

Despite my pride today

I ask for mercy, mercy on me

I pray you’ll take mercy, mercy on me

I pray you’ll stay

A Heart of Gold

You may say you own a heart of gold

To make the payments on it

and pay for the installment

you traded in your soul


Through those cloudy eyes you can’t see

All that you think you’ve gained

has just been rearranged

A false reality


Your pointing finger’s like a gun

Make one false move and you’re done

Seems you’re forever on the run

Move on, don’t stand there, move on


You may say you know, and know what to say

but when it came down to it

you gave up half way through it

Live, fight another day


Must it always be you or me

Someday you’ll understand

there is no master plan

Why can’t we let it be


Your pointing finger’s like a gun

Make one false move and you’re done

Seems you’re forever on the run

Move on, don’t stand there, move on


Dancing in My Dreams

You lead me through dark days and nights

I wake with you dancing in my dreams


Byzantine Eyes

Byzantine eyes, so bloodshot and baggy

stare from the brown depths of their plane


Cut through my pupils with spears and daggers

they see me clearly, and mock me my pain


The Climb

Wake up and dust off

Pull my worn shoes on

Time for me to climb higher and higher

No time to explain my reasons why


To run with closed eyes

To laugh as I cry

Don’t think, just take aim

as I mount the sky

Can’t stop can’t refrain

This is all I know

Fight for dust and stones

darkened with your blood


You walk and you crawl

hiding underground

Feel my cannon ball

Your ears will ring

Watch my tower climb up into the sky


To run with closed eyes

To laugh as I cry

Don’t think, just take aim

as I mount the sky

Can’t stop can’t refrain

This is all I know

Fight for dust and stones

darkened with your blood


You Smiled So Sweetly

You smile so sweetly

touch my arm gently

Don’t you stop breathing

Keep your heart beating


Don’t close your eyes

I need their light

They guide my soul

I’ll die if you go


I feel Death’s chill

Night’s darkness spilled

No words are spoken

My heart is broken


Funeral song

tells me you’ve gone

The whole world cries

with just one goodbye


You smiled so sweetly

Goodbye


Fall of Ikaros

Final countdown this time

Fly up into the sun

Try these new wings of mine

Wave goodbye to everyone


Leave my father wondering why

I had to burn up in the sky

Don’t name some rock after me

Let me just sink in the blue sea


It’s so clear in my mind

I’ve got nothing to lose

Prisoner of my crimes

Have to let go of you


Leave my father wondering why

I had to burn up in the sky

Don’t name some rock after me

Let me just sink in the blue sea


Father no need to cry

that I chose to burn

You gave me wings to fly

I just refused to learn

Lyrics from our debut album Ear to the Sky

Snake (A Lullaby)

Close your eyes don’t you cry

Night has come the moon is high

Hear me now don’t pull away

I’ve come here for you


Have no fear my dear, my dear

On this night I see so clear

Dance with me in your sweet way

Warm my cold heart as we sway


I’m a snake wrapped around your leg

As I thread please don’t crush my head

My poor head, my poor head


Yesterday has been erased

Just as your two arms embraced

My cold heart my empty eyes

Will watch over you


Have no fear my dear, my dear

On this night I see so clear

Dance with me in your sweet way

Warm my cold heart as we sway


I’m a snake wrapped around your waist

As I thread please don’t crush my head

My poor head, resting on your bed


I’m a snake wrapped around your neck

As I thread please don’t crush my head

My poor head, my poor head, my poor head

Lyrics from currently unreleased songs

Ey! Lolo!

Ey! Lolo!

What's that you got in your hand?

Made me laugh so hard I can't stand

You've got me crawling on all fours Lolo!

What's mine is yours and what's yours is yours

Ey! Lolo!


Ey! Lolo!

How many curls you got in your hair?

All your best friends are lions and bears

Don't you wag your head at me Lolo!

Lolo, Lolo, Lolo!

Ey! Lolo!


Πάλι προδόθηκες καρδιά

Πάψε πια με την μουρμούρα

αχ καρδιά μου κι άκουσέ με

Διώξε τα σύννεφα τα σκούρα

τον σεβντά που δεν μετριέται


Πάλι προδόθηκες καρδιά

όμως σε λίγο πια θα δεις

Θα ξεπεράσεις τα παλιά

και στον ήλιο θα βρεθείς


Μα αυτά που έχεις μάθει

απ’ τις κρύες τις καρδιές

Για το δάκρυ και τα πάθη

που σ’ ανοίξανε πληγές


Πάντοτε να τα θυμάσαι

να μην πέφτεις στο γκρεμό

Εκτός αν θέλεις να χτυπιέσαι

να μην λες το σ’ αγαπώ
