The Path Of Silence (Ritual)

It's Beautiful
(words: minuit de lacroix. music: juan sobrino, guillermo moreno, julio palacios, óscar garcía parde)
[Photography x C.M.C.]

Once upon a time there was a lonely place
where rain would mask the tears upon my tired face
I'm not the only man in the whole wide world who's alone
but if I turn around I could turn to stone
again

I'm alive, I'm alive
and I don't want to keep on waiting

Breath
It's for us
For our future
It's beautiful (x3) / Don't let it pass you by

I'm not the only man in the whole wide world who's alone
but if I turn around to see your eyes again I could turn to stone

I'm alive, I'm alive
You are too kind
more than I deserve
You cover me with all your beauty

Breath
It's for us
For our future
It's beautiful (x3) / Don't let it pass you by

My past memories of winter days
washed away like summer rain
from the moment that I saw your face
I will never be the same again
and I would never pronounce your name
if you slipped away into the night forever

It's Beautiful

Noble Enemy
(words & music: minuit de lacroix)

No human force can stop me
There are no boundaries I can’t reduce
No-one can find me if I choose
There is no woman I can’t seduce

There is no measure for the wisdom
or the wealth I’ve amassed throughout my six centuries
There is nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for you, my sweet
There is no ocean greater than that of memory

I’ll cherish you forever princess if you make me forget
that I stood by watching my friends grow old and die
Idly consuming now my lovely hosts
with the noble intentions of a tattered ghost

Have you ever noticed how I do not change?
How I obtain what I want without the slightest restraint?

Don’t be afraid of me darling
I do not bite
Despite what you’ve heard of me
I’m a child of the light

I came to help you, to give you strength and share
If I talk to you gently, do you promise to be there?
All I’ve ever wanted is to have you by my side
and see you realize I will never die

I live forever


Noble Enemy

Maybe tomorrow
(words & music: minuit de lacroix)

I do not sleep
I get up early
I try to ease a million worries
I do not eat or drink
What do you think?

I do not smoke
I cannot cope
I don’t use coke or any dope
I try to find the antidote along the way
but I just need you

What could possibly be wrong?
What could possibly be wrong?

Sometimes I rather relive not the daily waking
but I will always be here waiting

When in doubt I turn away
I cannot face another day without you
Maybe tomorrow my life will end

A headless goose hangs by the noose
of a magnet on the fridge
decapitated by my witch
although it sleeps ‘cos it has no head

I do not sleep
I get up early
I try to ease a million worries
I do not eat or drink
What do you think is wrong with me?

She took my life
She stole my heart
She tore apart my mind with knives
She even took my mother’s kitchen sink

Maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up dead
Maybe tomorrow, Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow, Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow, Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow, Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow, Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow, Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow, Maybe tomorrow


Maybe tomorrow

Policy of Truth

September skies
(words: minuit de lacroix. music: roger montserrat, minuit de lacroix)

You think it would be enough
to tell me you’d hang on
but it seems it’s not enough

I thought you told me to be quiet
Every time you talk to me
You end up crying
You end up crying

And every time you end up crying
And every time you end up crying
You end up crying
You end up crying
You end up crying
You end up crying

Your eyes are oceans now
You would rather just shut up
than listen to reason
And all your trying
to convince me otherwise
is left in your eyes
underneath September skies
September skies
September skies

September skies
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes


September skies

Berlin interview 1 (August 17, 2008)

Love life
(words & music: minuit de lacroix)

I am breathing in new sunshine
Feeling like the blues are gone
I turned around to lift you up
but you’d already left me all alone

To love life is to walk and to breathe
far away from the days
where we should not be
When we lost to the wind
and all we had was tomorrow
Know that you had me too
but why should I try to convince you?

You’re unhappy everyday
with all those blackened skies
and even though you were my eyes
I'm gonna face the sun and say
To love life is to walk and to breathe
far away from the ways
where we should not be
To enjoy new fresh air and be free
to have faith and believe
that the things that they say cannot be
more than lies

I will never forget the past
Now you’ll have to forgive me
I'm one with myself again at long last
To love life is to run and to see
far away from the days
where we should not stay
To enjoy new fresh air and be free
to have faith and believe (at long last)
that the lies that they say cannot be

You’ll get there sometime
You must believe it because I've seen it
in the stars


Love Life

BLusH
(words: minuit de lacroix. music: minuit de lacroix, susana liceaga, andreas dorwarth)
[Portrait of Susana Liceaga x C.M.C.]

Without the slightest of care
she failed the dare to love me
and even though
everything is so serene
I can't get her out of my head

Oh, just fill me with emotion
or kill me with the fact
there’s no devotion any-more

The time of day has weight
I wait for air to drown me
It is less difficult for you to do
than you would attempt to imagine

I've serenaded under mistaken windows
Whispered ancient secrets in uncaring ears
So many times I've walked away from true love
and broken all the wrong hearts in my life

We were running fools
and we had time to laugh
but now it's so much more (so much more)
Maybe we’re never to be found again
Otherwise, it seems like
the time tonight has slipped away
I wait for opportunity
See the fool I'll always be (always)
Just when it seems like there ... is no one here
I walk beside a fading shadow in the half-light
It cannot hide me from the past

But I've been walking 'round Salzburg
breathing in the fresh air
standing in the mountain rain
We parted ways in the Hauptbahnhof
Aigen Bahnhof
Zurich to Bern, Basel to Paris
Rendezvous en Gare de Lyon
Now I'm running 'round Kreuzberg
yet she’s never to be found again…
Too many nights I found myself
in the arms of strangers
struggling to hold on to sand
but you know
that every time I am reminded that
I feel my life is less cold if you’re walking by my side
I must let the truth be told on the road less wide

I feel my life is less cold if you’re walking by my side
I must let the truth be told on the road less wide

(One more time)
I feel my life is less cold if you’re walking by my side
I must let the truth be told on the road less wide
No-one really knows what they have until they loose it
No-one truly knows what they had until it’s gone
My life was complete until I left you lying there
now there seems to be no point in going anywhere
So hard to see how good life was till it disappeared
but I won’t hold my breath in waiting for the storm to clear
Cos’ there’s no time nowhere
for no-one or anything any-more
until you open up your door

For sleepless nights I dreamed of us hand in hand
but all those things I dream and the “us” I've seen
are not much more than wounded fingers
struggling to hold on to sand.

BLusH (with Love Of Life)

Golden Summer Daze
(words & music: minuit de lacroix)
[Photography x C.M.C.]

Before you begin to argue close your eyes and see
Before you start to discuss shut your mouth for me

Do you remember those golden summer days?
When we were both alive and you were still in love

Maybe you and me should wonder why
there’s no more “we”
if only briefly
(x2)

Glorious, sad but true
‘Cos my messages are not answered any-more by anyone

Do you remember, darling, those golden summer days?
When we were both alive and you were still in love with me

Maybe you and me should wonder why
there’s no more “we”
if only briefly

I feel so betrayed and you look like you've seen a ghost
Yes dear, I know I cannot stay

We were young and valiant titans of the street
walking tall through a maze of concrete in Madrid
with last minute reservations and Top-secret conversations

It took an instant to choose
Never a moment to loose
I had the chance of a lifetime
Now 4:a.m. is forever

Do you remember those golden summer days?
(It wasn't so long ago)
When we were both alive and very much in love
(It wasn't so long ago)

It wasn't so long ago
	All bridges are burned now
It wasn't so long ago
	and even thought I wont repent
It wasn't so long ago
	I do wish we could go back
It wasn't so long ago
	to how all things were then

So long...

Golden Summer Daze

This particular song is called The Path of Silence.
So far, it’s the most well known Minuit De Lacroix track of all time.

I deal with the theme of death, which is something I know a lot about.
This song is a tribute to all my dear close friends who are no longer visible,
in particular to Lucio Adrian Adame Godinez.

We are left here, with the difficult part which is to stay alive...
