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
