Among the Living

Song1

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Everything you touch
Won't always turn to gold
You may drive the fastest cars around
And live in a castle

If every night you pray
In hope of something better
Something you've been dreaming of
For the whole of your life

And you pray, and you wait...

Song2

Wolf

Words by Michel St-Pere and Benoit David

Music by Michel St-Pere

You know the reasons for my sorrow
For it's all because of you
I'm here sifting through the wreckage
And I'm wondering what to do

A child learning all the notions
Of a world hostile and cruel
He turns to mother in devotion
To find out she's left him too
And there's not much he can do...

It's such a waste of time
Why do I always have to come to you
To save my life?
Moonlight night
Howling wolves are running after me
Not far behind

Young man climbing up the ladder
Of this social rendez-vous
Halfway, he gives a girl a flower
And right then becomes a fool

Our faith is trapped beneath the surface
But the light keeps shinning through
For love that set things into motion
Has become so evil too
And there's not much we can do

Seems you can read my mind
Why do I always have to come to you
To save my life?
Moonlight night
Howling wolves are running after me
Not far behind

You know the reasons for my sorrow
For it's all because of you
And it's coming back to you

It's such a waste of time
Why do I always have to run to you
To save my life?
Moonlight night
Howling wolves are running after me
Not far behind

Between Love and Hate

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

The curtain begins to fall
The world fades before my eyes
The rain hears my call
And there's no cloud in the sky

Forgive the world of all its crimes
And you'll become the ideal prey
Forget that love shines in her eyes
And you'll walk alone for days

Is there any other way?
Maybe it's just too late

The days seem so long
And the nights won't ever end
One day you're the best friends in the world
The next day just perfect strangers

Is there any other way?
Maybe it's just too late

Don't know the reasons why
I'm walking between love and hate
It's a quiet suicide
Walking between love and hate

Is there any other way?
Maybe it's just too late
Or is this the only way?

I'm dying all alone
In front of millions every day
They say love makes you strong
Am I too weak to ever say?

And I won't wait for the sun
To go down anymore
It's never been shining anyway

Is there any other way?
Maybe it's just too late
Or is this the only way?

Don't know the reasons why
I'm walking between love and hate
It's a quite suicide
Walking between love and hate

I must be having a bad dream
Still walking between love and hate
You must be having a good time
Pushing me between love and hate

Till the Truth Comes Out

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Time so quickly passed them by
Gone far away out of sight

As he starts to fear all the rage
Forming in his eyes
Still she stands there by his side
To keep the dream alive

Love deserts so many lives
And you ignore the tears they cry

She begins to doubt
All belief learned as a child
Still he stands there by her side
To keep the dream alive

The more you learn
The less you know
You think you understand
Until the truth is coming out

Fall from trees the graceful eyes
Die! Prophets and genius minds

And they start to understand
The game they play
What prayer they have to save
To keep the worst away

The more you learn
The less you know
You think you understand
Until the truth is coming out

The more we learn
The less we know
We think we understand
Until the truth is coming out

I feel it now
I feel it now
Can you feel it now?

I feel it now
I feel it now

Song5

Kameleon Man

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Always sharply dressed
Like an emperor out of his time
He knows every corner
Of the pathways crossing your mind

He can make you believe
There's a way to your dreams
For only he holds the key

He's got that thing that makes you believe
The answer's on his side

Watch out
The man's wearing shades in the night
The Kameleon Man

No one really knows
What the hell is going on in his mind
He will firmly support your beliefs and tomorrow deny
He's everyone's friend and makes sure all enemies die
Ask him what he thinks about this and he'll certainly lie

Look out
He aims at your dreams with a gun
The Kameleon Man

When he talks to you
It's with dollar signs in place of his eyes
He could sell you his mother for a penny
If the profit is high

Watch out
He's like the man in the moon
He's watching your every move

Look out
His hunger is cruel
He'll capture you very soon
The Kameleon Man

Always sharply dressed
Like a penguin same walk I find
He knows every corner of the pathways crossing your mind

Watch out
He's like the man in the moon
He's watching your every move

Look out
His hunger is cruel
He'll capture you very soon
The Kameleon Man

Through Different Eyes

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Song7

1- When Sorrow Turns to Pain

 

Where did you go?
Mother of the Angels
Whatever went wrong?
Angels turned to orphans

And the school kids forever wait
For the bus will never show

Where have you gone?
Gentle marching drummer
What could be done?
To break this rhythm silence

And the sorrow turns to pain
In the sound of falling rain

Do you see the children laughing?
Do you feel the mothers crying?
Do you hear the music playing?
And dance with the butterfly
Do you feel the cold rain falling?

What have you done?
Couldn't you come to someone?
The damage is done
There's no turning back now

And the sorrow turns to pain
In the sound of falling rain

Can you see the children laughing?
Can you feel the mothers crying?
Can you hear the music playing?
And dance with the butterflies
Can you hear the echoes calling?

​

2- Apocalyptic Visions of Paradise

 

Instrumental

​

3- So Far Away

 

How long you've been down?
Wasn't anyone around?
As you wandered in the Hall

How deep was the fall?
Weren't you frightened at all?
As your wings touched the ground?

I see the world through different eyes

How sad were the clowns?
When the circus came around
In this old dirty town

How precious was the Crown?
That the three children found
And turned the world up-side down

I see the world through different eyes

How nice is the sound?
When the music surrounds
This Lonesome face in the crowd

What's left of me just lies behind
So far away
I see a light beyond my life
So far away
What's left of me just lies behind
So far away

What's left of me just lies behind
So far away, so far away
I see a light beyond my life
So far away

And light emerges from their cries
So far away so far away
Now tears are falling from the skies
So far away

So far away, so far away

I see the world through Different eyes
So far away so far away

So far away

​

4- The Point of No Return

 

My world is crumbling down
Roaring-like thunder sound
Please tell me where I stand

Oh I can hear the voices calling my name

I know you'll never let me go

It comes as no surprise
Only the strong survive
Just tell me where we stand

The more you are standing tall
Much deeper is the fall
Into the Neverland

Oh I feel I am falling
Please hold my hand

I know you'll never let me go
And you know I'll never let you go

​

5- The Silent Scream

 

I hear the voice of those who cry
My faith reflecting into their eyes
Am I to die?

Unspoken words from prayers denied
Are washed to shore within this tide
Am I to die?

The sky below so beautiful
The clouds surround me like Madrigal
We never die

The winds of fall reviving all
The falling leaves in marble halls
We never die
We never die...

If only you knew all the tears
That just fall from these eyes
And the sorrow that is drowning my life

If you could hear the silent scream
That cuts through the night
And the echoes stabbing my soul

If you could feel all the love
That just dies in this heart
Then you'd know that it tears me apart
It tears me apart

​

6- Dancing With Butterflies

 

Still the sorrow turns to pain
In the sound of falling rain

When I hear the children laughing
When I feel the mothers crying
Then I hear the music playing
I see you there with the butterflies
I can hear your echoes calling

One Among the Living

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Everything he's touched has always turned to gold
He's been driving the fastest cars around
He lives in a castle

But every night he prays in hope of something better
Something he's been dreaming of
For the whole of his life

And he prays, and he waits
He's only one among the living

She's the Queen of all the beauty raised on Earth
Dressed in satin, lace and jewels
Yet tonight again she cries

And she prays, and she waits
She's only one among the living

Just take a look
At the world around you now
When the sun has falling down
A thousand souls are crying

And they pray, and they wait
They're only some among the living

Song14

The Falling Man

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Wake up in the night
Open up your eyes
Look into the Mirror

Tell me what you see
Tell me how you feel
Tell me who's in danger

And you don't even know me
You've never cared till now
Why are you here to take me?

Walking up the stairs to your own despair
Climbing broken ladders

Can anybody hear me?
Does anybody care?
Someone please just help me

Can you read the writing on the wall?
I can't see it now

Can you see the shadows in the hall?
I can't see them now

The fire burns behind me bursting all in flames
Somebody come to save me

Can you feel the end is drawing near?
I can feel it now

Can you feel the coldness of your fear?
I can feel it now

Now everything about me is bursting into flames
Is there a God to help me?

Somebody come to save me

Mirror! When two worlds collide
Fire! Burning in the sky

Somebody come to save me

Wake up in the night
Open up your eyes
Look into the Mirror

Somebody come to save me
Is there a God to help me?
Somebody come to save me

Open your mortal eyes
Listen to Angels cry
Too late to read the signs
Too late to turn back time

See a man is falling
Watch the man is falling down

Look a man is falling
Watch the man is falling down

Song15

Sailing on a Wing

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Marching to the promise land
Burning candle held in hand
Reflections made upon the man
I've become...

Looking back with no regrets
To forgive is to forget
Never knew until we met anyhow

Sailing on a wing
Through the night
Sailing on a wing
Til the morning light
Sailing on a wing
Sailing on a wing

It feels so right
Breaking out of my mind
Now I can feel this anytime

Sailing on a wing
Sailing high
Sailing on a wing
Reaching ever higher
Sailing on a wing
Sailing on a wing

Living in the promise land
Burning candles in our hands
Reflections made upon the men
We've become...
Living in the promise land

Sailing on a wing
Through the night
Sailing on a wing
Sailing ever higher
Sailing on a wing
Sailing on a wing
