François Lavallée Salut Salem!
Encore surpris à l ‘écoute de votre excellent album. Vraiment vraiment bon!
Un son rafraîchissant qui me rappelle par moments Jethro Tull mais avec une Twist qui me ravit chaque fois!
J’espère pouvoir écouter de nouvelles pièces bientôt!
Bravo!

Follow the signs and you'll find the path Don't be afraid and you'll find us right Hear the voices they are inside you The spirits sing around all of you The moon is there and she guides your steps Let's free your self and gently seek Evil and good they want to take you Listen to what oh! what's inside you We dance - We work - We rise The forest is a place for the wise Yes words may lie but music speaks There's no straight line,no straight line to the peak Can't be deceived when you find me Can you believe, oh yeah that you are free We dance - We work - We rise The forest is a place for the wise We dance - We work - We rise The forest is a place for the wise

The sky turns black And the lights are back In this full moon night In this mournful light I found in your heart Something I had lost And this cannot rust 'Til the end of time I'm not really humble 'caus I can like an eagle I can fly really high (x2) Now the sky is blue My dream's became true We will find our way Through the cloudy days We will get older Loving each other Our passion will climb Through the gates of time I'm not really humble 'caus I can like an eagle I can fly really high (x2)

Magical Tool 04:16
All the wizards of the king Are the masters of the ring This disposable magical tool They have to rule All the bishops and their priests The song they sing is not the only one This disposable magical tool They have to rule Look around Take your place in the world Hear the sounds Make your place in the world You're in control of your mind Don't be deaf - Don't be blind This disposable magical tool You have to rule

There's a blue ball bouncing in the hall - Let it go On a huge throne sits a queen I don't know Is she the mistress of my dreams Marble stairs lead us there and she throws A flying carpet in the air - Up we go Sitting still let's fly over there Fields of grass Diving slowly we finally reach the ground For a short while we dance and sing in these... Fields of grass

Charles the IIIrd surrounded by his friendly court Unaware of the sword strung up above his sphere, his fears Standing shily in a wealthy hall A well ended quest for us mystical walkers Rewarded by our lord we went and ate avidly In dimly lit alleys and infinite plains Our journey began on the wings of laughter Bathing in deep shadows of ever square stones Yellowish frescoes on the Devil's forehead Is it my imagination A dream or simply pure fiction

Which challenge will it be for us earthlings conquerers In the high lands of our complexity Wisdom will be man's acquired Divine paths through which we glance Living freely Karmic adventures in a desert sky A lot of concrete abstractions for you and I In which world we shall be if you throw us all in space No war is not a game to play Freedom will be man's alliance Hand in hand for a better end We'll be free No more destruction in our sacred sky A happy ending conclusion for you and I Listen in silence to the beat of your heart And you'll find a peaceful way Through those graceful sounds of art

Monastery 03:45
I wandered once for a while on a crazy afternoon Lonely Without friends anymore Betrayed By the ones who wanted more How can I sleep I only wanna be still forever What will I find If I cross this bridge however On the spur of the moment I feel a coming man I follow the road of my destiny What do I see Beyond the verge of the horizon What is up there Is there a cure for my sweet despair I finally pass a drawbridge Surrounded by a fathomless bliss Which pervades me with softness I walk through corridors I open a few doors And much to my surprise I realize I gaze at... Monastery walls Crucifix and extinguished torches In monastery halls Old pictures and religious sculptures Staring at me Deep in the eyes Trying to reach The treasures in my heart My music, my sorrow and my love Quiet peaceful dark Summoning a fetching illusion Staring at me Deep in the eyes Trying to seize my soul

Growing hats in spite of their foolishness Foolish dreams with no decent meaning Silly gnomish reflections Your planet is a mess - It's to you I adress Don't be useless before you fall into darkness Coins in a corner, a bottle in the other Your life is in the forgotten one Thaughtless material pleasures Your planet is a mess - It's to you I adress Don't be useless before you fall into darkness
9.
Under the shade of a small wooden roof Nearby all these enchanted trees Dancing in the freezing breeze Blowing through the leaves Magical feeling Baal is unfolding his little tinfoil For a feel that we'll all enjoy Tingling like vibrating strings Lost in the mist Endless feeling Bizarre surrounding atmosphere (x2) Unusual state of mind You'll take a step into reality It's so sad these things have to be I know it's unfair but see Final ending
