Influence

Words: M. Berkenkamp & Bagheera
Music: M. Berkenkamp & Bagheera

Did you consider all your thoughts
Filed in your mind, some cruel and wild

Don't be afraid
I will be your guide in communication
When times get hard do not criticize yourself

Why can't you see it is the animal in me
My vicious side of prudence and pride

Do you consider all your acts
Showed by me, do not let it be

Why can't you say your own words today ?
Put timidity away
Express yourself and do not wait till tomorrow

Stressed by words I cannot say
Acknowledgement or hide the truth
I understand it is not easy to admit
You have been influenced by me

I have considered all my thoughts !

Why must you preach ?
Resistance to mercy, put my agony aside
Strip this rose and snatch me from its thorns

I am just a collection of mirrors
Reflecting what everyone else expects of me
Maybe, one day
I'll be no longer in command

You have been influenced...
By me ?

Silence at Romney Marsh

Words: Bagheera
Music: Bagheera

So silent at Romney Marsh Tonight
The heron stood like a statue on his wall

Guilty for the grief I caused
So confused. Does someone know ?
My feelings harmed so deep inside

More... I think, muse and sit here
consciousness is taking toll
as the feeling is growing
That this emptyness is part of me

And how many times did you stare
as I came along
Now it is too late
There is nothing...left to be found

Followed trails of solitude
Memories that slowly pass my mind

Ignorance
                of those who broke
                                               their silent vow
You will never return
Maybe I can touch your skin
                                            once again

People who have lost the sense
of their identity
also tend to lose relatedness to nature
God what have I done

In the silence of my existance
No one listened
only those who closed their eyes

I keep on waiting for invited gleams
were ever seen
Don't you forget that all nature
is a projection of our souls

My Choice

Words: Bagheera
Music: Bagheera

Waiting for appraisal
for all of these years
Screamin' my heart out
cause no one has ever listened

Closer to you at last
   That minute
                      I died

For may years I tried
to make improvements on my game
For all of you
Have you forgottenwhat it means ?
Can I trust my endless faith

Furter away from you
Close to dreams I had before

  It's my choice
  I really have to make a choice today
  And I have to do it all by myself
  I have to make a choice today
  And I have to do it all by myself

I really have to make a choice
For returning
And I am calling
Calling from a new dimension
My life was thrown from beyond

Closer to you at last
Further away from this world

(Repeat Chorus)

My choice            Wisdom the eternal way
this silenced world          Calling my rights
Down in phrases                      And see !
I will be wasted in the dawn

Andante Concitato

Problem Child

Words: Bagheera
Music: Bagheera

I live my life without restrictions
They seem to know the sound prescription
for a better world. Follow the waves of
society that stands for understanding and
charity

  Problem Child, Problem Child
  A barfly looks insane
  Problem Child, Problem Child
  No one knows my name

Out in the streets, shop-windows as mirrors
Bad to the bone, the rich and the poor
Sometimes I feel the eyes of damnation
The stab in the back of so-called civil life

  Problem Child, Problem Child
  completely down and out
  Problem Child, Problem Child
  They cannot forestall that I am proud

Sometimes I need small objects of desire
On second thought. What does it mean ?
Fortune and esteem.
