Paroles / Lyrics :

Je n'ai pas osé
sur tes lèvres déposer 
le plus doux des baisers
je n'ai pas osé
t'embarrasser

Je  n'ai pas osé
tendrement t'enlacer
réchauffer tes mains glacées
je n'ai pas osé
de peur de te tracasser 

Je n'ai pas osé
à ton cou me pendre
t'attirer dans mes méandres
je n'ai pas osé 
t'embrasser

Je n'ai pas osé

Je n'ai pas osé [Levitan and Lukowig]

UNTIL THE SUNRISE [LIVE]

[Verse] He feels the world through whispers near The rustling leaves a song so clear A silent symphony guides his way The unseen sun still lights his day

[Verse 2] His fingers trace what eyes can't see A story carved in bark and tree The wind it tells of distant shores Each note a world that he explores

[Chorus] He sees the world in echoes bright A touch a sound a fleeting light The colors bloom where silence grows A vivid life the blind man knows

[Verse 3] The pavement hums beneath his feet A city's heart its steady beat Each voice a thread in woven air A tapestry beyond compare

[Bridge] Oh close your eyes and hear it too The world alive in shades of blue No need for sight to understand The beauty felt by heart and hand

[Chorus] He sees the world in echoes bright A touch a sound a fleeting light The colors bloom where silence grows A vivid life the blind man knows

The Blindman Knows

lyrics - Sk


what do you see ?
happens now.
don't hesitate it's coming fast 
do you look in front of you? 
intuition, circumstance

we're on the edge of a cliff 
just read between the lines
in hidden print (there's a hint) 
look deeper ( deeper) can you see the signs?

reading the runes

misinformation, manipulation, no hesitation, open your eyes!
your decision, intuition, no confusion, open your eyes!

What was done, was done before
don't look away, don't ignore

we're on the edge of a cliff just read between the lines
in hidden print, look deeper
can you see the signs?
( signs )
reading the runes

misinformation, manipulation, no hesitation, open your eyes!
your decision, intuition, no confusion,  open your eyes!

now is the time - open your eyes 
history repeats by design
reading the runes, reading the runes
just open your eyes!

misinformation, manipulation, no hesitation 
your decision, intuition, no confusion
open your eyes

Reading The Runes

[Verse] She walks in frost that bites the air A crown of stars A frozen glare Her footsteps hum on crystal glass Each step a whisper A shadow cast

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Verse 2] The rivers pause beneath her gaze The sky turns pale A ghostly haze Her laugh is sharp It cuts the wind A riddle wrapped A soul unpinned

[Prechorus] But does she dream Does she cry Does she melt beneath the sky

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Bridge] She builds her walls of icy stone A castle carved She stands alone But deep inside A fire sleeps A secret warmth A flame she keeps

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

Ice Maiden

The part that sounds like a bass in the middle section is actually tapping using an 8-string guitar. Naturally, no bass was used at all for this part. Lately, I've been exploring the potential of the lower strings, and tapping and slapping are part of that. Regarding the song's theme, I've been deeply contemplating the grandeur of the universe and humanity recently, and I composed this piece wanting to express that atmosphere through my guitar. I'd be delighted if you could feel a sense of floating and light-like speed within the song. Finally, thank you so much for reading this far. I think you're truly wonderful!

Here we go with the start of a new epic… This time we travel back to the days of Merlin and tell his tale, the tale of his life outside of King Arthur… The life you probably know very little about. So please sit back and enjoy as we tell his story over the next 6 songs. We begin with “The Great Sorcerer” himself.

1. The Great Sorcerer:

See that mist, where dragons live
How can someone see so many tomorrows?

In the shadows
Staff in his hand
Shapeshifting to beasts of earth
Creating myths of our once reigning kingdom
Creating myths of the weakness
And the greatness of men.

And we still hear
Look at all there’s to learn
Science, Science,
The only purity there is

Born at the wrong end of time
Living backwards from in front
We can’t forget he told our unparalleled King
Power of mind’s not enough,
Power of the body decides

This is our Great Sorcerer
We are in awe how easily he
Steps between our two worlds

Earthly, supernatural

Knowledge, the mastership to change fate
What a double-edged sword
Reveling in results of his power
Disregarding the harm

Teaching esoteric
Incantations and spells
To the Lady of the Lake
And in time you know he surrenders to her
He could protect fools from themselves
Couldn’t protect himself from himself.

This is our Great Sorcerer
We are in awe how easily he
Steps between our two worlds

We still mourn how easily
He’s trapped in a cave forever

We still mourn how he easily
He’s trapped in a cave forever

Sleepless Rounds

In the stillness between opposing forces, the axis of being holds all movement in suspense. Anger becomes directionless energy, pride formless light; both are balanced in a silent equation that transcends emotion. Within this motionless center, time unfolds as geometry and sound transforms into structure. Each vibration seeks its counterpart, each echo finds its reflection, until symmetry becomes peace. The axis remains motionless, but everything revolves around its invisible truth.
