(Verse 1)
In the silence of the night, I lay my head
Dreaming of the day I'll leave this battle's dread
Through the smoke and through the fire, I'll fight on
With your love in my heart, I'll carry on

(Chorus)
I'm coming home to you, my love, just wait
Through the storms and through the tears, I'll find my way
With every step, I'm closer to your side
In your arms, my love, I'll finally reside

(Verse 2)
In the letters that you send, I find my peace
Your words, they give me strength, they grant me release
With every sunrise, I'm one day near
To hold you close, to whisper, "I'm here"

(Chorus)
I'm coming home to you, my love, just wait
Through the storms and through the tears, I'll find my way
With every step, I'm closer to your side
In your arms, my love, I'll finally reside

(Verse 3)
In the darkness of the night, I still believe
That soon enough, my love, I'll finally be free
To walk with you, hand in hand, once more
To leave this war behind, and close the door

Love Battlefield

(Verse 1)
Houses stand in silent rows, windows sealed so tight
A feeling creeps within me, eyes watch in the night
I lift my gaze, searching for the storks' lively nest
A family thrives, a joyous, vibrant guest

(Chorus)
Two young ones chirp, their parents stand so tall
Contrasts I always loved, yet this one makes me fall
The joy of life against the houses cold and bare
Our beaks and I, with hopes we long to share

(Verse 2)
Empty spaces echo where life once used to be
The storks' delight, a stark reality
How can we explain this yearning in our soul?
To face the void, and make our spirits whole

(Bridge)
Perhaps it's hope that keeps us fixed on what's unseen
A promise whispered, a future yet to glean

(Chorus)
Two young ones chirp, their parents stand so tall
Contrasts I always loved, yet this one makes me fall
The joy of life against the houses cold and bare
Our beaks and I, with hopes we long to share

Silent Sentinels

(Verse 1)  
Soda pop and bobby socks, poodle skirt swayin' 
 Cruisin' down the boulevard, music blastin' and playin'  
Elvis on the radio, singin' sweet and low  
Got my gal beside me, baby, let the good times flow

(Chorus) 
 Rockin' and a-rollin', all through the night 
 Foot tappin', heart poundin', feelin' just right  
Shakin' to the rhythm, under the pale moonlight  
This feelin' inside, oh baby, it takes flight

(Verse 2)  
 Jukebox jumpin', malt shop chatter  
Swingin' on the dance floor, doesn't really matter  
Who's watchin', who's lookin', just lost in the beat  
Holdin' you close, baby, can't be beat

(Chorus) 
 Rockin' and a-rollin', all through the night 
 Foot tappin', heart poundin', feelin' just right  
Shakin' to the rhythm, under the pale moonlight  
This feelin' inside, oh baby, it takes flight

(Bridge) 
 Stars are shinin', moon is high  
Just you and me, beneath the sky 
 Let the music carry us, worries drift away  
This rockin' feeling, gonna last all day

(Chorus)
 Rockin' and a-rollin', all through the night  
Foot tappin', heart poundin', feelin' just right  
Shakin' to the rhythm, under the pale moonlight  
This feelin' inside, oh baby, it takes flight

Motown Vibes

(Verse 1)
The mornin' sun used to paint the Liffey gold, fields of green, a story yet untold
But the day the rain lashed, dark and cold, me world went black, a story left unfold

(Verse 2)
St. James' halls, stark and white, echoed whispers in the dim Dublin night
Then one day, a voice, warm and bright, pierced through the gloom, a beacon in the night

(Chorus)
He spoke of laughter, yarns untold, painted pictures with words of purest gold
A gentle touch, a heart so bold, rekindled hope, a story to unfold

(Bridge)
He said, "Yer eyes may not see the day, but the beauty's there, another way
With a listenin' heart, we'll find our way, a love so strong, to chase the dark away"

(Chorus)
His love, a sunrise, chasin' the cold, a future bloomin', a story to unfold
He became me sight, brave and bold, in his embrace, me spirit takes hold

(Outro)
Though darkness lingers, I'm not alone, in his love's embrace, I've found a home
No longer blind, me heart has flown, a love story, beautifully unknown

Lament of the Liffey

Based on a poem (in Greek) by author Maria TOLOUDI.

Verse 1:
 I begged the night to grant my plea  
To let your body be felt by me  
But feared that touching your luminous skin
 Would make the darkness within me rescind 
 Your radiant beauty too bright to allow 
The ugliness of this world to endow

Chorus: 
Tired of waiting, to dreams I'd return  
Their friendly embrace I yearned to earn  
Bodies entwined in heart's tender shape 
 Souls and flesh converged, no bounds to break

Verse 2:
 My soul took flight to calm windless shores 
 Pleading with dreams to seal those doors 
 How naive was I to trust their lies  
Just a nude form before me lies 
Counting night's sounds as bitter truth bloomed
 Spring had arrived, though I was consumed

Chorus: 
Tired of waiting, to dreams I'd return  
Their friendly embrace I yearned to earn  
Bodies entwined in heart's tender shape 
 Souls and flesh converged, no bounds to break

Bridge:  
Hopes and desires, an endless dance 
 Leaving the waking world askance  
Will dreams prove truer than reality?  
Or will I awake to crude actuality?

Chorus: 
Tired of waiting, to dreams I'd return  
Their friendly embrace I yearned to earn  
Bodies entwined in heart's tender shape 
 Souls and flesh converged, no bounds to break
(bis)

Tired of Waiting

Verse 1 
 Night's dark cloak clings ever near  
Mothers, sisters, hearts filled with fear  
For their loved ones, lost in the fray  
Each stolen breath steals hope away

Chorus  
When will fate's cruel hand strike once more? 
 Will another life forever close the door?  
But the human spirit, it will not bend 
 Against oppression's grip, it will transcend

(Instrumental break)

Verse 2 
 The village huddles, shadows fall  
Awaiting dawn's uncertain call  
Will sons and husbands, fathers too  
Be lost before the morning dew?

Chorus  
When will fate's cruel hand strike once more?  
Will another life forever close the door?  
But the human spirit, it will not bend 
 For freedom's flame will surely ascend

Bridge  
Each sunrise paints a scene of despair  
With cries of anguish filling the air  
But their resolve, it cannot wane 
For liberty's dawn will rise again

Verse 3  
Till final triumph claims the day  
Or until their very breath fades away  
They'll face the cost, the bloody toll  
To break the chains, regain control

1945

Based on an Claude AI and Gemini assisted interpretation in lyrics form of Greek Author Maria Toloudi's novel "Cherry village"

(Verse 1)
Mountain village, blessed by sun,
Cherry farmers, work never done.
Red fruits ripen, traders arrive,
Five euro a crate, barely survive.

(Chorus)
Tavern echoes, glasses clink,
Deals made with scotch, profits shrink.
Fury bursts in, a woman's fight,
Demands her share, lost in the night.

(Verse 2)
"Wasters!" she screams, rage unleashed,
"Harvest stolen, future deceased!"
Fists fly, son against mother's plea,
Love forgotten, brutality.

(Bridge)
Elder brother, strong and tall,
Tears them apart, a mighty wall.
"Struck the hand that gave you breath?
For coin, her life sentenced to death?"

(Chorus)
Tavern echoes, glasses clink,
Deals made with scotch, profits shrink.
Fury bursts in, a woman's fight,
Demands her share, lost in the night.

(Outro)
Trucks leave with cherries, sunset's glow,
A village fractured, seeds of woe.
Bitter betrayal, harvest's plight,
Cherry-kissed hope, lost in the night.
