Asrai Pearls in Dirt 1. Delilah's Lie Buried her head in her hands (Delilah, you liar) Buried the sun with the mysteries within (She craves the sin) She played her perfection The lie was waiting to be The words left unspoken Now you will see… Her lips are sealed And dead in a kiss The promises, she made and touched her lips Sleep through the fear, through the din (Go to sleep my little one) Blood on my lips from the dagger that I kissed (Kiss the pain away) Now death I have tasted Though I had sensed your treason Your virtues lay wasted So it will be… Her lips are sealed And dead in a kiss The promises, she made and touched her lips Burn in her fire with your passion within Go to sleep my little sin 2.

Stay With Me Where will I stand When there's nothing left to say? Stay with me What will you choose When there's nothing left to lose? Time stands still Hide behind the walls Where a house is not a home Stay with me I can't break through When there's nothing to be told Stay with me Stay with me When there's nothing left Stay with me How can I breathe When the sky has turned to grey? It fades away I don't understand Does it always feel so cold? Breathe with me Do the nightmares find your head Staring to the face behind? Time is all we have When the sky has turned to grey Stay with me Stay with me When there's nothing left to say Please stay 4. Go A craving is calling me Desire in all its splendor Pulsating, rushing sounds Getting louder and louder Go, go Show you the secret me Flaunting my desire Moral virtues are beneath me Oblivious to pain Go, go To the underground Hey, hey Let's die forever No, no No limits here Open up, you know you want to Let's go Feed me with your last breath Embrace your destination Take me as far as you dare I'm on the edge so.... Go, go To the underground Hey, hey Let's die forever No, no No limits here Open up, you know you want to Let's go Feel the force out of control Shattered dreams are taking over Fears have lost their lustre now Excel in all my senses Give it up . Give it Go, go To the underground Hey, hey Let's die forever No, no No limits here Open up, you know you want to Let's go 5. Lost Shelter for a frightened girl Who lost so many years Lost track of all the tears Shelter in a bitter world Protect her from her fears She needs shelter now Give her shelter Never was she scared before Death tempted her away Gave meaning to her days Never did she dare explore The feeling held at bay And she never will No, never Forever we severed The ties that bind together Keeping us alive We're losing, refusing The cry that keeps us choosing Was she hearing mine? Did she take the time? Wander through your fate alone Where madness rules the weak Too painful there to speak Wonder why the love has gone Your loss is not unique So you wander lost And you wander Forever we severed The ties that bind together Keeping us alive We're losing, refusing The cry that keeps us choosing Was she hearing mine? Lost inside this memory Break under the weight Will my fate be doomed To make the same mistakes? 6. Something I Said Don't close the door It's cold outside Nothing is the same anymore It's all changing It's cold outside Don't close the door I feel one with the cold outside And now nothing seems the same anymore It's all changing And I've absolutely no control So tell me now Is it something I said, is it something I did? Is it something in between you and me? Just you and me My words turn into accusations Yours into excuses The distance creeps between you and me So why don't you just go on and tell me now Is it something I said, is it something I did? Is it something in between you and me? Oh, just tell me now Is it something I said, is it something I did? Is it something in between you and me? Just you and me No matter what I say here, I'll still be losing No matter what I do, I am lost anyway What're you saying? Just tell me now Is it something I said, is it something I did? Is it something in between you and me? Oh, just tell me now Is it something I said, is it something I did? Is it something in between you and me? Just you and me Is it something I said, is it something I did? Is it something in between you and me? Oh, just tell me now Is it something I said, is it something I did? Is it something in between you and me? Just you and me And it cuts me like a knife A different story, waiting for your lies Is it something I said? Is it something to regret? So tell me now… 7. Awaken Wake up little girl We're running out of time I know that you've been running On a long, lost line They cut your tongue in pieces Denied you any rights They burned you with their secrets And taunted you to bite You never fear the darkness The light will only see The struggle you've been into The gashes on your knees The chains of filth and aching The barbs of suffering They almost seem more beautiful Than this life Just let her sleep. On a bed of wild roses Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin As I kiss her goodnight. I kiss her goodbye I never know, so tell me The colour of your eyes It turns all red and scorches Every time I ask you why Frightened of the truth Or can't I recognize the lie Can I ever find the courage? To conquer this and… Just let her sleep. On a bed of wild roses Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin As I kiss her goodnight . I kiss her goodbye Do I wear the mask of your enemies There's no echo of this sorrowed land The scars are buried deep All your trails so many years Still hunting for the things unknown to man Just let her sleep. On a bed of white roses Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin As I kiss her goodnight. I kiss her goodbye 8. Sour Ground She wrote her name in sand And lived a lie within The sadness and sorrow For the loss that came again Water washed the tears away But the emptiness stayed Tamed itself with outrage And spit the bitterness away This water won't feed the earth Nothing grows on sour ground She cannot calm the screams To silence in her head Staring with her empty eyes Try to feel what she had She wrote her name in sand And loved a lie within Where beauty can be cruel And beauty takes it all This water won't feed the earth Nothing grows on sour ground I will swim with you And play amongst the waves Where mermaids will be singing Where the sweet song remains Like a comfort whisper To be together again She wrote her name in sand And believed her lie within This water won't feed the earth Nothing grows on sour ground This water won't feed the earth Nothing grows on sour ground 9. Roses She puts on her makeup And roses in her hair She smiles to the face in front of her And tries to be sincere Tomorrow seems so far away When the moon shines silver light Shines her silver light That blazes through the night Never to last. Never would there be Another question to ask Forgotten in a dying flame She opens her heart up In hope of better times A sliver of a trust betrayed Of old, forgotten rhymes Her eyes, they cast their twisted spells And thorns tear through her dreams Petals falling hopelessly With nothings as it seems Never to last. Never would there be Another question to ask Forgotten in a dying flame Questions never been asked In the silence of the night And even when she tries to talk I forget, I forget myself Escape in lonely stories Too sad for her to tell No one there to comfort her She sighs, "It's just as well…" Never to last. Never would there be Another question to ask Forgotten in a dying flame Never meant to last Never would there be Another question to ask Forgotten in a dying flame 10. Chain Me Change my life, seize me. Change me, chain me Change my life, please me. Change me, chain me A lonely beach in the distance far The building sites, the city lights Seeking her Atlantis Beneath a windy town Lost in her fantasies Drowning in her dream The waves so wild Pounding patterns into white Modern times descended The dream is taking flight Running from the beach, suspended are the lights "What'll I find," she says, "In the ropes, death or life"? Returning to the folds, like her mother's dress She heads for the structure, for eventual re-birth Change my life, seize me. Change me, chain me Change my life, please me. Change me, chain me The water's black and the moon drifts by Orchestral nights perform their rites Sinking in Atlantis They dance on their way down A figure slowly exiting from this crazy scene And Neptune smiles with his trident come to life He summons me to the sea To be his liquid wife Standing on a bridge, I can see for miles "Change my life," she says A cab drives by and she smiles Spinning round in the city light, she got up without a word Turned around and disappeared into the night Change my life, seize me. Change me, chain me Change my life, please me. Change me, chain me
