| 1. To Be
I never thought i'd rest my life
Like dreams don't dare to pretend
But a single day can change
All the future that you've planned
To go and see what's there for me
To be... or not to be?
You're laying here lonely
And I wish you speak
But the wires tell your stories
Cause your |

Virgo – детище Андре Матоса (Shaaman, ex-Angra) и Саши Паета (Heaven’s Gate), и детище это получилось довольно неординарным. Стилистику его определить сложно: присутствуют элементы арт-рока, AOR, хард-рока, поп-рока, рок’н’рола, блюза и плюс ко всему симфонический оркестр…
Альбом очень разноплановый и по структуре музыкального материала. После первых двух, довольно сложных для восприятия, вещей, следует мягкая баллада “Take Me Home”, за ней хард-роковая "Baby Doll", затем две лиричные баллады, обе написанные Матосом, но обе очень разные. Седьмая – “Street Of Babylon”, в нее вслушаться получается не сразу: сперва она кажется довольно затянутой, потом “River” с акустическим гитарным вступлением, далее рок’н’рольная “Blowing Away”, под которую так и тянет танцевать… Замыкают трек-лист самые, на мой взгляд, душевные композиции “I Want You To Know” и полублюзовая "Fiction".
В итоге получился очень душевный, оригинальный альбом, полный красивых мелодий, льющихся, как бальзам на душу, или подхватывающих и уносящих в прекрасные дали. Его полюбят и оценят не только многие любители тяжелой музыки, но и поклонники других музыкальных стилей. |

I take your hand and there's nothing
Is there someone inside?
And if there is,
is it still you in this body that's dying
There is a soul that keeps hearing
What's you're going to say
There is a soul that keeps feeling
It's someone who is longing to stay
I'm not sure but I hope that
I can help you if I could
Is it right that I'm thinking?
And is it wrong if I do?
How will I know the answer?
How can I stand the pain?
Hoe will I know the reason?
Why you're going away?
There is a way and I'm walking
There's a light in the dark
There's my hope that is leading
Me back to my life if I fight if I fight
Time goes by but standing still
All my life is passing by tears run dry
Words are gone
How can I keep going on - all alone?
There is a soul that keeps hearing
What you're going to say
There is a soul that keeps feeling
It's someone who is longing to stay
2. Crazy Me?
Talk to me, let me hear the sound
Don't walk away, let me be around
Let me smell, what I used to like
On my knees - let me creep tonight
I wanna be the one
I wanna be someone
I'm begging for my sweet divine
Crazy me, cause I try to get
What I deserve, going vaguely mad
I count the hours, I count the days
To stop the pain and to start the chase
I wanna be the one, don't wanna be alone
I'm begging for my sweet ruin maybe
To let me know you're not denying
Just blink an eye and I am dying for trying
Let's go on fighting through the days
Believing in our love and hate
I'm crying and sighing again
Watch ahead I can feel the sun
Looking back, there was something wrong
Am I blind - I don't see the signs
Am I dumb - I don't hear the lies
You whisper softly in my ears
As marking bloody on my back - I was here!
I take the blame - you take control
All of my body and my soul
I'm fighting and dying
Crying and sighing again
3. Take Me Home
I am a victim of tragedy
And I am a victim of fate
And I live inside a few memories
Of someone who walks in the past
So now hear the things that I wanna say
And I see that you really care
Don't wanna be somebody who keeps the faith
In something that's no longer there
I believed there would've been another chance
For us all to get kid of the storm
But you see I've got nothing in my hands
And I weep like never before
Time goes by and I'm still running
Running down an endless road
Getting further toward the future
Just to find my way home
I am a victim of agony
And I am a victim of pain
And I'll live forever in your fantasy
Cause we both, we just feel the same
Time goes by and I'm still running
Running down an endless road
Getting further toward the future
Just to find my way home
4. Baby Doll
It seems to me that you never had
A place to lay your soul
It seems to me when you raise your head
I see these eyes of stone
What can I do?
Could you tell what you really think?
Could you light this fire?
Do you need my helping hand?
Do you believe in desire?
You find a way to push me down
You bend my nerves,
To be around with you
Cant' you see - I'm not your baby doll
Cant' you see - I'm not your baby doll
Homeward bound to anywhere
Nothing ever lasts
You take your place, cause you have nowhere
To go without a task
5. No Need To Have An Answer
Leave me, if I still cry
There's no need to have an answer
To raise and fly
Far beyond the seven oceans a sun may shine
Leave me in the arms of pain, away...
Hold me, I've gone too high
And the clouds I left below me
Now seem to hide
All the bird I kept inside me, falling apart...
Hold me in your arms again
Take your time to understand
Get out to the light of day
Spread your wings, no matter when
Just you and me
Together relieve
To ever believe
In you and me
Look back, the land so far...
From above it's like a puzzle
All filled with scars
Far beyond the seven oceans
I've found a star
Clouds I left below one day
Now are the ones who light the way...
Just you and me
Together relieve
To ever believe
In you and me
Just you and me
To stay hand in hand
And go until the end
Of you and me
"Everyday we learn something
Everynight we dream another's dream
Every places recalls something
Everyone we meet we'll meet again"
6. Discovery
It's easy for us to be
Anywhere we dare to decide
From millions of memories
There's one, that I know,
That will never die...
Into you're eyes, deep in your soul
The flame is still burning on
What if we stay here all alone
Discovering the world
I guess that I've never seen
Such a moon as big as tonight
And whatever it means to me
I'm sure it will keep on moving the tides
Into your eyes, deep in your soul
I know the flame is still burning on
What if we stay simply here on our own
Collecting the stars?
Something new deep in the sky
Playing the sound of eternity
Still here we stand, gazing at the night
While other worlds keep in harmony away...
Until the day returns...!
7. Street To Babylon
Since I saw your face again, I wasn't sure
In your urgent silence, looking good
With those claws of feather gently round my neck
And the strangest taste of never coming back...
So, I realized the scene in black and white
Even if I told you I'm never right!
And you kept pretending well
Now it's time to choose for paradise or hell
And wipe off the bad dreams of my mind
All the bad dreams of my mind
To realize I dare
My feelings now to share, everywhere...
But again you came so fast to take control
Lake a spider dancing fooling on the wall
May you just be crazy, may you just be right
But for now remember... hell or paradise
And wipe off the bad dreams of my mind
All the bad dreams on my mind
To realize I dare
My feelings now to share, everywhere...
Always in my dreams, I felt you close to me
Laughing in my face, killing my fantasy
How long could I stand, how long it's meant to be?
But now it's mine... now the whole world is mine!
And I could remind you forever what you've been
Till your bones dissolve, you'd think of me
So you'd keep pretending long, forevermore as the spider dance.
Fooling on the wall...
And wipe off the bad dreams of my mind
All the bad dreams on my mind
To realize I dare
My feelings now to share, everywhere...
8. River
Waking up your fantasy
Starts by simply saying
In your world of apple trees and flowers never fading
Please take me where you wanna be
We live in childhood memories
Our little piece of heaven
In our world of make believe
We can make it happen
I wanna find what you're searching for in heaven
But sometimes I'm drowning in the rivers that you cry
Sometimes I'm sinking while I try to relate to your mind
Sometimes I'm hoping and I fear
Cause I'm so near, with you in outer space
I'm saving all the tears you cry
To fill a sea of sadness
And later when we learned to fly
We cross it our madness
We are looking down the life below
And laugh about the waves of pain
The endless days of sorrow
And never we'll come down again
There's a path to follow
We're going to find
What we're looking for in heaven
But sometimes I'm drowning in the rivers that you cry
Sometimes I'm sinking while I try to relate to your mind
Sometimes I'm hoping and I fear
Cause I'm so near, with you in outer space
with you in outer space
9. Blowing Away
Out of control I let you go
And now I just regret - ohh my babe
I can't survive to realize
How long I'll hide the fact
Ohh, a time machine is bringing back to me
The days of wonder, bliss and joy
I feel so good, I can't avoid...
Ohh, I'm liking that, I'm diving deep inside
It's diving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, ohh... blowing away
Let me forever show you better who I am
I'll be your star, I'll be your guide, I'll be your man
Okk, babe... can't you feel me now?
I'll let you guess that I'll be under your control
And when you realize, I'll never let you go
Ohh darling... you belong to me!
I got along, I was so strong
Forever you'll be gone?
Ohh, my love
I write a tune, I watch the moon
And deep inside the light, I see your face
Ohh, a beam machine, a second it would take
To walk the sky alone with you
And all my dreams are coming true
We don't feel the ground, we're gliding through the night
It's driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. Ohh... blowing away!
Let me forever show you better who I am
I'll be your star, I'll be your guide, I'll be your man
Okk, babe... can't you feel me now?
I'll let you guess that I'll be under your control
And when you realize, I'll never let you go
Ohh darling... you belong to me!
Ohh what a dream!
I'll let you guess that I'll be under your control
And when you realize, I'll never let you go
Ohh darling... you belong to me!
Would you come and stay? Joining my dream...
Driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. Ohh... blowing away!
10. I Want You Know
You waste your time to find an answer
You say your life's a bunch of scraps
Search for the reason that keeps you down
Sighing out, but there's no land here all around
No way to stand to see you suffer
You're digging traps you step right in
Hey, there's a way for anyone who's wanting
And there's a road for everyone to go
I want you to know
For all that you do
Well, It's not too late to rearrange
The pieces of your heart that made you go insane
So if your looking for solutions
And you're still waiting for the day
That brings you sunrise and lights
The shade from all the pain and misery,
That's why I say...
I want you to know
For all that you do
Well, It's not too late to rearrange
The pieces of your heart that made you go insane
There are times of joy and times of pain
And we feel we waste our lives just standing up again...
And if your looking for a reason
You'll never find, you better try
To move along the road you're leaving
Never to fear, love is a lie
And if you're living for an answer
Don't waste your time
Longing to feel
Like any other day you suffered
Back in the days
Life wasn't real
11. Fiction
Look at the cards pretending
Fooling me in tarot
The story is never ending
I've got to pay my price on you
Knowing what I'll be missing by knowing
That you'll be gone begging you
On and on and on to think of what you've done
But once you forget what means falling in love
You'll know what means falling in pain
And once you forget that what happened to us
Never could happen again
I've got a fiction, of what is gonna be
My own religion, of doing what I feel
I've got a million faces, I've got a million names
And I've got to realize how life can be - haha
Hoping that I will get there
I have already been
Thinking 'bout times that we shared
Looking for a new beginning
Knowing what I am missing
Or telling what I have told begging
You on and on and on
To think about not to go
Once you forget, falling in love means falling in pain
And once you forget that what happened to us
Never could happen again
I've got a fiction, of what is gonna be
My own religion, of doing what I feel
I've got a million faces, I've got a million names
And I've got to realize how life can be
