Rather short but cool and catchy creation.

A captivating instrumental piece that blends flowing melodies with dynamic rhythms, evoking a sense of motion and emotion. Perfect for moments of introspection or inspiration, this track harmonizes fluid piano keys with an energetic undertone.

Flowing Keys

I wrote a proof once
In the margin of an old book
It held
It sang in silence
I solved a riddle no one posed
But someone should have
And the page
Bent to my will

I was on a train
Between Oxford
And existential despair
Light flickered. Ink cracked
My coffee spilled
Still, logic marched in perfect rows
Shining
Afraid to be alone

But the margin
Too narrow
For voices like this

I drew your outline
In the corner, soft and hidden
Lines too gentle for names
Wrote a vow, never signed
A plan with no axis
And the paper
Tensed beneath my wanting

Under the station's hum
I footnoted everything I didn't say
Margins full of detours
Echoes of maybe
Each heartbeat struck
A chord I never dared to play

What if the page could break open?
What if the lines ran wild?
Not neat. Not safe. Not approved
But real
Bleeding past every edge

Because the margin
Was never enough
Not for this voice
Not for us

Tear it out
Let the ink run free
We'll write where no lines go

The Margin Was Too Narrow

We are the Animals

We are the Wolfs, They are the Lambs

I'm putting the words here because, as is so often with rock, I can barely understand the singers' words ... and I wrote them! 🤔
 
Who could with just mere words describe
The dark deeps of the wisdom you bestow
On those who leave their fears behind
To meet you in your realm below.

Without the dark, there can be no growth. 
Seeds cannot germinate in the light. 
The great lord Pluto hears all those 
for whom the usual darts and slights
of human suffering 
are as nothing, compared 
to the unbearable lightness of being. 

At your Dark Majesty’s request
We lay this dedication at your feet.
The Lord of the Underworld, no less,
Our offering's here at your behest.

Who could with just mere words describe
The dark deeps of the wisdom you bestow
On those who leave their fears behind
To meet you in your vast realm below.

Who could count the blessings you rain
On the lives of those who understand
That with rebirth, like birth, comes pain
And suffering we must withstand.

At your Dark Majesty’s request
We lay your names at your holy feet.
Pluto, Arawn, Set, Shiva,
Hades, Pan and Gwyn ap Nudd.

«(...)Second Chance is a journey through these emotional territories where each track is like an intuitive reconstruction of memory, of fear, of vertigo, and finally of light. It is not just about survival, but about what comes after: the amazement, the lucidity of being alive and the gratitude of receiving a second chance.(...)» [Nuno Mangas Viegas]

Faz mal, faz bem
Ir por aí encontrar alguém
Faz mal, faz bem
A noite é certa e o frio também
Não há como fugir
O perder é certo se ele não sair
Não há como ficar
A vida é certa ao caminhar
Vai falar, vai-lhe explicar
Que a noite é certa e o frio também
Saiem em par, de mão dada
O mundo acaba, não perderam nada
O mundo acaba, não perderam nada
