1. Oran, 1940...

(инструментал)

2. Beginning

One day in 1941
The sun was shining in Oran
Some rats lied strangely on the way
"What does it mean" someone asked

"That's ominous what we can feel
Bad fortune reached us I believe"

Now it's just a beginning
Or maybe an end
It will show our destiny
And will bring our death

Surprise was turning slowly
Into an enormous panic
People's behavior have changed
Their life became a nightmare

The pestilence broke out and
Algerians don't understand

Followed by the God's fury
Feelings of doubt moved into us.
People are so heart broken, but
They will never give it up

The Hopeless has gotten far reaching
Men and Women fears grows fast
Newborns lost their hope for childhood
They became fine shooting stars

Inhabitants of this city
In the fullness of the time
Recognized that They are in a
Common hell and they need
Each other and the help

3. Children Of Innocent

Depressing period above my head
My tendon is straining in my hand
The fear have been devouring my mind
My peace is out of my closed inside

All the people fallen from God's grace
Souls has been interwovening by the pain

Father, we all are children of innocent
In high away is heard all our scream
Please give us
New chance to an other, better beginning
From far away we try to find the light

Darkness is the Father of my son
He hankers after mother, called her Sun
Together we maybe manage to get
A huge victory above the all bad

4. New Spell

Once a spell
Meet with our fate
Never thought it'll be the last days
Of happiness
The last days of happiness

Should we call it by its name?
The plague is here and we all are in jail
Forever?
Oh I hope not forever

And one last time
I feel despair
To face eternity

Over and over
Try for a better way
Far in the sunrise
Jump in a lake of fire

One last time
Try for a better way
Far in the sunrise
Jump in a lake of fire, of fire

What about our agony
The other side seems so close to me
Miracle?
Oh I hope a miracle

No saviour will help us
We have to fight without getting guns
For victory
No loosers, but victory

And for the time
We shut the gates
Proclaim the state of plague

5. Pestilence

Once, as I was seventeen
I went with dad to the court
Where he works
I saw his long argument
For the death of a criminal

And one year later
I have left parent's home
To agitate this bloody social order
Horrified by seeing my own father
Zealously arguing a head has to fall

I went through revolutions
A way for justice to find
But I've seen too much executions
I've lost all my peace of mind

I have realized
That we all have a plague
Stir a finger, bringing somebody's death
Until now I have still been ashamed
Pestilence I tried hard not to become

6. Inner Fears

The sky is our only way
Where thoughts can fly without barrier
Face with nothing in its eyes
Scream is going to start from deep inside

In spite of unforgiveness
Inner fears are slowly growing
We are ready for anything, but
We believe that you can help us

Her cheeks were suffused by a blush
Suffocating space is all around
Potholes are our waiting beds
Living lives into an ambulance

7. Voices Of Darkness

I've been waiting you for ages
Like a sleeper, mightiness, people
Look around! I show my leverage
After all I'm wide awake and
I am flying among you, but
You must know that I will stoop again

My biggest lordship waked a day
You can't awake the death
Let's strain your lovers till the end
You aren't quarter given

Take a hold of your lovers
Let's bite them hard
I will catch all the remains
And I will take all of them with me

Voices in the darkness whispers death
You lost your mind, however
You try to make love with your enemy
Unexplained the feeling you have, but
No one can talks about your
Dreams, it is the big reality

8. Bewildered

Help me
Heal me
I write
In pain

What you
Give me
Submit
Disease

The boy had test the new serum
It made the child a little better
But after an endless scream of agony
He died a painful death

All that had watched it
Are deeply affected
The physician run out from his defeat

On his way out of the hospital
Followed by the priest
He heard him say: "Maybe we should
love what we can't, can't understand"
But the doctor disagrees

"Father
This boy
Was not
Evil"

"Can't love
A scheme
Which bring
Torture"

"I can't discuss about it with you
We're working both for something true
Over your prayers, beyond all my blasphemies
We're holding each other"

"I cannot think of plague as retribution"
And more confused was his second sermon:

"In all things man have to submit
To the saint God's will"

And later he caught the fever
The doctor was there
Although his help
(he) died as a bewildered man

Now as he died, for his soul
I hope for him an endless life

Endless
For him endless life

9. All That You'd Given Me...

Wars in the world
Words in the words
All that you'd given me
It's closed in my soul

Behind your eyes
It seems I noticed all the life
What you lived
It was a little part of time

All the feelings
Were preserved in my mind
Now I know
His memory will be alive

I have no more chance
To care for your life
I have no more chance
To see your thoughts

Flying in my way
'round with a soothing pain
Looking the past
I can't give you an ending goodbye

What I see...
Is the body of my son
Sleeping sweet
I hope your home is near Lord

All the things
What remains in our life
Is deep mourning
Including our poor lives

I will have no chance
To know your wife
I will have no chance
To see your child

10. Healer's Memories

Here I am
Facing tie memories
All those years
I try to live faithfully
Glaring lights above my soul

What I see
Maybe eternity
The plague can sleep
In us for centuries
And once it may awake

(After we think we have healed it)

I try to keep my eyes (opened)
Each day another sign

Never a day without thinking
What should be
Bringing to light the disease
I have to heal

Help me
And save me
Trying to find the way that's real
I can't be
I can't see
The only way out on the path
To sympathy
Path to sympathy
It'd be my way

Path to sympathy
It'd be my way

I try to keep my eyes (opened)
Each day another sign

Never a day without thinking
What should be
Bringing to light the disease
I have to heal

I do have no fear
I swallow my tears
I can do all that my mind shows
To me on this way

11. Beyond The Clouds

Telegram was given to me, I know
That I'm so forsaken
It seems my inner fears came true

Tears, behind your smile, I knew
That I loose you, I'm afraid
You started a new life without me

Beyond the clouds and sun
I try to feel you
You belong to the sky where
I try to find you

Page, that I knew what wanted to say
I was so exhausted
All we done is gone away by train

All we wanted is to change
Our lives, to starts again
A life what is so out of pain

Your appearance for me
In front of mine
Brightness all around
That is joke of my eyes

12. Proclamation Of Freedom

At last, the plague was proclaimed checked by the governor
At least the gates will be opened
Herd of people had been rushing on the streets
They hesitated between joy and mourn

Secret hopes hided within
They waited the proclaim!

Sunshine is the lord again
Twilight kills the black shades
Happiness will fill us
We will trust again

It seems the lives are going to start a new road
Everyone have changed their lives
More and more they want their lives like before
The line between the bad and good has disappeared
