Until it rots Down on the floor Into mud and junk Until the dark Down on the floor Of a lowering dusk No absolution It’s our daily bloody bread Daily bloody bread Roaming souls Eating each other Hunting the hunter Nails on the meat Searching for heat Eternal lovers No absolution It’s our daily bloody bread Daily bloody bread Roaming souls Die for me please, Cannot bear this summer breeze, come on, Come on darling, it's our last trip, Take my hand sweet n’ kill our time Together we dive to danger, Dive to danger again Daily bloody bread Daily bloody bread Roaming souls
2.
Earth is turnin’ upside down Everybody’s livin' in Do they already look () around? The little conscience of being All the promises fall by the wayside When something is missing, you can't see the light Under this blueberry tree Is there a place for you and me? Sky is turning above our heads Can you dream out of your bed? Twirling lights on the edge Driven by a solemn pledge We cannot see Our horizon’s distant and hazy All the promises fall by the wayside When something is missing, you can't see the light We face our dreams but we’re on the wrong side And everyday we lose our pride

Blind 04:10
Sadness and cold are all around I‘m losing myself n’ feel let down Stunned n’ alone along the gate Am I too weak to defy it ? I still smell your sweat and taste your skin Compels me to end up on my knees I ‘m so close to the end Am I just going round the bend I was torn by sorrow I go blind Alone in the waiting line I should have keep my eyes closed I should have led your hand Like every, mother does with her unhappy child I always try to keep the heat of this tenuous light But I can’t recover what is over now Tryin’ to find your own place Will not kill the guilt you have to face You can hide, You can fly Your eyes will never fake Taking flight without a trace Will never help you to remove that weight You can dive, You can try Your eyes will never fake Striking out your mistakes Will not give you any kind of grace You can lie, You can sigh Your eyes will never fake Justify our final fate Will never forgive you in any case You can smile, You can cry Your eyes will never fake

Red 03:30

Distance 04:14
You and I So intimate and bright Distance lost us Forgive the foreigners They didn’t think about The simple need to return Long distance failed It could have been Summed up in one scene But this play was just never meant for us I know I have to hurry But I’m further away than ever Left you behind, don’t look for me Long distance failed Time is elapsing for collapsing stars
6.
Alive 05:38
Feel my fervor Can you smell it ? No objection, only veins beat Any confusion, hiding would be nonsense Please don’t stop showing your impatience Don’t you feel alive ? Alive and real ? I will show you unknown treasures When you're not alone Look ahead the only trouble Is the one you will not forget Open your arms to this youthful freedom You're not on your own All the liars and push downs No longer bother me Don’t you feel alive ? Alive and real ? Stay away from your comfort zone All you can do has all been done Keep flying and lose control Say what you want as long as you are ... alive
7.
Connected 03:43
In the deepest part of me I hear psalms unknown to me Drums hit louder than clamors Heart beat of a rising earth Falls in the forest Raindrops on my chest Whatever can this call be? Whatever can this call be? It’s always the same melody Your freedom is so high Now you will not wonder why No one compels you No one forces you to Bend your back and fall We’re all connected We could become each other We’ll be protected Or could be my protector No more Mister supreme No more Kings of gold We’re all supported By connection of our souls
8.
Invincible 04:12
Stand Standing on the plain Alone on the plain Strong Strong on the edge Safely trusting in yourself Sure Sure of the outcome Time has come For us to rise up To rise again, again, again … Deep in the hollow Of war and upheaval Feeling high, above all Being invincible No one can take a step backwards And a voice is telling me How to behave vociferously Holding on against all odds The bravery of the soul The supremacy of the spirit Instinct against the dread All fights come to an end Stand and fight, Keep the force to walk the way Bloody wounds in half-light Keep a clear head all the way
9.
White Flag 04:44
We've got to take our time, got to keep calm Everglades we're diving in, we are struggling Turn away from battlefields of our silent war Bitter days and night curses have built our coffin So hold your fire Time to retire Drop your arms Fall back Let me see your hands Throw out munitions Erase suspicions Take a chance Embrace The only way to stand We’ll be sinking deeper with our anger Can we forget our failure to make it better? We’ll be sinking deeper with our anger Can we forget our failure to make it better? How to get over heartbreaks? Waving white flags How to get over heartbreaks? On opposite sides

about

Budapest France

"Rising from the dark rocks of continental psyche, the ascension of this luminous quintet to indie-rock heaven is just a question of time and appropriate astrological alignment
They've got it all: the songs, the sounds, the characters, theatrical stage attitude, smart, literate lyrics and all kinds of little accurate details that are the prerogative of the great.
A kind of revelation!"
