Ave Verum Corpus (Mozart)

Another great collaboration with Olivia (O.C.A), where she sang
stunning vocals that intermingle so well with the guitars. Thanks
again Olivia, making music with you is so easy and rewarding.

Lyrics:
Je survis et pourtant
J’ai l’âme d’un enfant
J’ai laissé mon épure
Dans l’Azur clair et pur

J’ai marché dans les plaines
De l’Oural à l'Eastern,
Traversé les déserts
Bu dans les lacs amers

Chorus
Angel Dust
I’m just an Angel Dust
Spread over the Earth
Angel Dust

J’ai si longtemps lutté
Harassée, mutilée
Je ne doutais de rien
Je regardais au loin

Loin du monde d’avant
Je chevauche les vents
Car je ne voyais rien
Poussière je deviens
Poussière je deviens

Angel Dust
I’m just an Angel Dust
Spread over the Earth
Angel Dust (X2)

Angel Dust - featuring O.C.A on vocals

SHATTERED

THE ONLY WAY I CAN ACT RIGHT NOW IS "LOW"
MY MIND - AS MY BODY - IS SLOW
I DON'T WANT TO BE SO SHATTERED
BUT THAT'S LIFE
IT'S NOT ALWAYS NICE

SOMETIMES IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT
IT JUST HAPPENS
SOMETIMES IT JUST HAPPENS

DOWN 
ON THE GROUND
I TAKE CARE 
FOR MY WOUND


SHATTERED

Music/Arrangement/Production/Vocals/Lyrics by Achazia

I have tried to many times I can't count all my attempts
I have failed,  but it's never to bad that I can't try again.

I get burned, like I am searching for it.
I get hurt, I keep holding on to it.

You have no clue, you don't know what I feel; I dont wanna tell.
You think I am cool, with everything we've been through, we're just like friends.


and this is Why.
I fall into danger with you.
My heart.
causing selfinflicted pain.
But i am the only one to blame.


I will find you.
I then I will keep you.
Of all time.
All the time..

You will not know.
That I love you.
not in this time
this time.

You're soulful.
I never felt like this before.
You're wonderful.
I don't wanna rise and fall anymore.

and this is Why.
I fall into silence with you.
My heart.
tells me many things I cannot say.
I dont want to have it in another way

I will find you.
I then I will keep you.
Of all time.
All the time.

You will not know.
That I love you.
not in this time
this time..

It's my secret
Finders keepers
It's time
Yeah. Time


You will not know.
That I love you.
not in this time
this time..

Finders keepers

Worn

Look I don't mean to be rude 
But I have had enough of you 
And I've had it with all of your suits 
And the ties that you tie with entitlement. 
But I will take a walk in your shoes 
careful not to be consumed 
By the secrets you keep in your room - 
That you conceal with covert-ed governance. 

And why stop yourself saying what you wanna say? 
You don't want this no more 
You don't want that no more 
And why stop yourself feeling how you really feel? 
You don't care about us on our nooses 
That we hang on the belt of your choices. 

You're a wise man a wise man a wise man... Ha. 

So look I don't need an excuse 
And I don't need nothing from you 
But I know that you'll need time to prove 
That you're perfectly blameless in all of this 
But I will take a walk in your shoes 
Careful not to be consumed. 
We were over already too soon 
We were over already too soon... 

You don't care about us 
You don't care about us.

There's something in time that drills my mind
I walk forward and the facts surpass me
There's something inside me that stretches and shrinks the hours
the glass doors I turn take me to the place where I once came from

My watch rotates counter-clockwise
My minutes are filled with hours
Time is a broom
that mercilessly sweeps me up

There is something in the light of this sphere that dazzles me
I keep walking and the flashes confuse me
There is something in my head that vibrates with this light
walls of minutes crumble and lead me nowhere

My watch torture my senses
My minutes are filled with emptiness
Time is a conviction
that mercilessly sweeps me up

THE ARROW
So sharp and straight,
through my guts
to get my brain,
keeps me rigid…
… burning … in a threatening sore

But its magnetic tip
spins me like a wire,
pointing my body
to what wants to pierce

…it won´t mourn …any loss

If I bent, If I knelt, If I cried…
…I could stab myself!

I´ve to keep my head up
to keep in parallel
the arrow and the spine.

I´ve to keep my head up
looking for some cloud,
this terrible sun blinds me.

half of me is bent,
as a hand of a clock
pointing to each number
but unable to catch them…
…nor kill them …nor love them

and this tireless rotation
twists the axis, my depths,
and makes me want
that it finally breaks…
…and shoot …and cry

If I bent, If I knelt, If I cried…
…I could stab myself!

I´ve to keep my head up
to keep in parallel
the arrow and the spine.

I´ve to keep my head up
looking for some cloud,
this terrible sun blinds me.
