Legend

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

...As the Blind open their eyes
Life appears the way it should be

But for most of us
It still remains a Mystery

--Spoken Words--

Would you spare some change to help a blind man?
Friend? Hello?
Could you spare some money for the blind?
Spare some change?
A few pennies to help a blind man?
Oh, thank you! God bless you!
Uh, excuse me?
I think I know you...

Destiny?

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Say...
Is there someone that you know?
Who's never shed a tear
Wear a smile that'll last forever
If there's someone let me know
My eyes just need to see...

Fate...
Is there someone here who knows?
What we're all meant to be
For times we call tomorrow
If there's someone please don't go
My heart just needs to feel...

Love...
Is there someone who really knows?
The reason for all that pain
That fills my heart with sorrow
Is there someone I should know?
My soul just needs to heal...

To heal...
To heal...

Slave to Liberty

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Daniel had a dream
Of silvered cyan kites
Imaginary scenes
He flew beyond the skies
Of many sacred themes
Only one ruled his mind
Never being trapped in gravity
Daniel was not afraid
Of leaving it all behind
The more the challenge great
The more he fed his pride
He never kept his fate
From those who stood aside

He became slave to liberty
The day he sold his destiny
Life ain't always what it seems
He'll remain slave to liberty

Daniel joined a circus
That plays in every town
And don't you know that
He takes this very serious
Yet he's just another clown
He flew as high as Cyrus
And never left the ground

​

We became slaves to liberty
The day we sold our destiny
Life ain't always what it seems
We'll remain slaves to liberty

Slaves?
Don't you know we're slaves
Salves...! Slaves...!

Before the Dawn

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Et lorsque l'aveugle ouvrit ses yeux
La vie lui apparu tel qu'elle est

Mais pour la plupart d'entre nous
Elle demeurera toujours un mystère

She wakes up with the morning rise
And leaves all dreams behind
The same world offered to her eyes
Wishing to escape before the night

It's cold outside, the leaves have fallen
She wanders in the park
She often goes there when she's crying
She sits and thinks for hours until it's dark
Yet she always comes back home

Tired of living by their rules
Avoids to meet their angry eyes
She promised to no more be their fool
They ask, she quickly finds an alibi
Then she wonders why oh why...

She has the will, she has the right
The freedom to decide
It's somewhere locked within her mind
Sometimes they see that spark
Shinning in her eyes

They don't realize...

Time will come for her to try
To lead another life
Struggling hard she will survive
They'll keep on erasing all of her desires
Yet she won't believe their lies... No!

Run now... It's time
To pack your things and leave now
Nothing will change your mind
And you know!
If you run, run before the dawn

Run now... It's time
Don't look back just leave, leave now
Nothing can change your mind
If you run, run before the dawn

If you run before the dawn
If you run before the dawn
Run before the dawn

The dawn

Time is at hand
You know what you've got to do
And you ain't gonna put with
Come on

No more lies, no more rules
You're got to run
Before the dawn breaks through
You've got to, you've got to
You've got to run!
You've got to run!

Queen of Vajra Space

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

She's very quiet, you'd never say
Go in her village and hear what they say
"She saw the Queen of Vajra Space"

He waits in line, he leaves his place
For everyone knows here, all rumors say
"He saw the Queen of Vajra Space"

The winds of east were fierce at night
The storm raged over sea
They lost contact with ships at large
They never thought to find a soul survivor

They found her as the sun arise
Asleep on the beach
She woke up merely hypnotized
She looked among the people and she smiled...

Here and now she stands
Speaking words of wisdom on the hill
They never knew she had so much to give

She saw the Queen of Vajra Space
A high tech disillusion, cyber reincarnation
Is she just playing the Ace of Spades?
To catch us in a web of a new religion
She saw the Queen of Vajra Space

Racers put their helmets on
And waited for the light
Excitement of the crowd was high
As the engines roared across that starting line

He lost control, went off the road
In a great flash of light
He wrecked his car into the wall
It's a miracle he came out alive

Here and now he stands
Speaking words of wisdom in the field
Where many men would travel just to hear...

He saw the Queen of Vajra Space
Virtual destruction, mediatized corruption
Is he just playing the Ace of Spades?
To blind our eyes with his good reputation
He saw the Queen of Vajra Space

Come on!

Lost, they came back with stars in their eyes
For we praise the Queen of Vajra Space
They sowed the seeds of peace in our time
For we praise the Queen of Vajra Space
Oh Vajra!

Soon the war began again
The words were all forgotten
What the world would need to see
Is wait until another prophet dies!

Here and now they stand
Speaking words of wisdom to our children

Something to believe in
In the land of the rising sun
Our fate is arising
In the hands of our rising sons

Rising sun!
Rising suns...

The Mourning Man

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Sarah! How are you?
Things are becoming so strange
Aura... around you
Burst and then suddenly faded

Why did you believe in them instead?
All we knew was great
Who's to say what we believed was wrong?

Mother and Father
Love's become so hard to pretend
Oh brother! Sisters!
Already joined in the dance

Too late to change
The worst has been done
Soon will fall the rain
Who's to say what I believe is wrong?

The rain is falling down over me

All you hypocrites can you see now?
On us falls the rain
It's too late for regrets now

Jesus is on the run
Young god just having fun
"Meet the mourning man"

Cryogenetic freak
Drinking ice tea in the park
"Meet the mourning man"

Feelings of control
Found in many roles
"Meet the mourning man"

The virgins, the widows
Crying on their pillows
"Meet the mourning man"

The lovers and the fools
The lonely and the cruel
"Meet the mourning man"

The living and the dead
Just look under your bed
"Here's the mourning man"

I'm here! I'm here!
"Here's the mourning man"

Murderers and juries
Victims of their fury
"Meet the mourning man"

The hunters and the hunted
The masters and their servants
"Meet the mourning man"

Religious and believers
Judas and the sinners
"Meet the mourning man"

The blacks, the whites together
Gays, straights and all other
"Here's the mourning man"

I'm sorry! So sorry!
"Meet the mourning man"

I never meant to hurt you
"He's the mourning man"

Sarah! How are you?
Things are becoming so strange

Submerged

Words Dré and Music by Michel St-Pere

Here comes the storm I can tell
I can see the clouds form
Like I've seen them
So many times before
Knowing this
I know I'll drown again

It's the light of the city on
Before the darkness falls
That's how I know the night is coming
It comes for me, that's how I know

I didn't ask to be put here
Am I just living in fear?
As the water surrounds my body
Am I left to drown in my tears?

I look up from the bottom
No feeling in my mind
Far away I can see
A light comforting white

How I wish I could reach it
Just lift my hands and grab on hold
Below, I'm just below
Am I just below and will I ever grow old?

I never asked to be put here
Am I just living in fear?
As the water surrounds my body
Am I left to drown in my tears?

Many years I've questioned
The innocence of a child
Trapped within a little world
They just scream, scream, scream
To get out...

He bangs his head against the surface hoping
Oh! Just hoping for a gasp of air

He struggles, she struggles
Till the child reaches the top
He's breathing, she's breathing
Just hold your breath
And this one's gonna take you down far...

I know that it's crazy
Do you think I'm lazy?
My mind's getting hazy
From the flood that surrounds me

Teach me to swim
I beg you, I beg you
Just one little swim
And I'll leave you alone

If the world has taught me one lesson
And that's my life beyond any reason
And what I don't understand
Comes so easily...
Easily!

If I take hold of your hand
Will it free me?
Should I trust once again?
While the rain pounds on my brain

I never asked to be put here
Am I just living in fear?
As the water surrounds my body
Am I left to drown in my tears?
In my tears?

I feel the wind blowing
I see a break in the sky
I still cannot reach it
And still I don't know why
But in some strange way
I sense some kind of warmth
Like my body has washed ashore

It feels so warm
And the truth that I find
Is submerged in my mind
But the warmth that I feel
Is your hand in mine
Oh! I can breathe once again
Again!

Shadow of the Lake

Words Michel St-Pere and Dré

Music by Michel St-Pere

The innocence of a child
Left alone for a while
Standing there, by the magic window

The bluish light serves him another city crime
He cannot really understand the shadows

Too young to guide himself
Between what's right and what is wrong
He reaches his hand touched the TV screen

Souvenirs will last a life time
Nightmares often track a fine line
If they cannot feel the pain
Will he feel the same?

The influence of a style
A world succumbs to denial
Price to pay, creation of a future

The images disturb him
Impress his fragile mind
Like a mother leads him as it nurtures

Too strong to stop himself
He sees the meaning in the song
He starts to fly or that is how it seems

How he wants to be in the limelight
Like all the heroes in his dreams
If they cannot feel the pain
Will he feel the same?
Or is it just a game?

Now he wants to haunt the prime time
To have his face within the screen
If he cannot feel the pain
Will they feel the same?
And who will win the game?

How was he to know the way it was to go?
His life before he set his fate
The world of his dreams evolved by lunacy
Drove him to his mental state

She never could have read the bad signs
Evil deep within his eyes
She doesn't feel the same about him anymore

The moon was high and red this night time
He chased her out into the trees
He must immortalize his name
Into the hall of fame
Made up all of shame...

"Don't you know, I've always loved you
Enough to save you from the pain
I know you don't like the answer
Oh! But it's the only way..."

Don't be afraid
"Don't be afraid"
Be not afraid
"Be not afraid"
This is just a game
And I will take the blame and the fame

She stares at the moonlight
Reflecting on the water
Her nails scratch the marks
Upon the wooden floor
She prays in vain for something
But no one hears her call
He's beyond it all... Insane?

He drags her to the lake
Beyond the shallow water
Cold and abandoned
She looks out to the shore
He knows her time is coming
Too late to turn back now

He grabs her by the sleeve of her shirt
And for a while she gazes into his fiery eyes
She's searching for a fragment of the man
She once loved before, but he's no more...

They say he was a poor lonely child
And they made millions
Millions from his crime
And they say the kind of understand why
He couldn't stand the violence
So they day he finally killed
He closed his eyes...

Heaven can Wait

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

I have always heard them say
"Good things come to those who wait"
Where could you find the strength
To wait another day?
When all your dreams have faded away

I've waited so many nights
For an Angel to hear me pray
Who'd help me find the faith
Or a reason for me to stay
Before you came

Heaven can wait for a while
Now I have you!
I have you

And I feel our Love
Reaching higher each and every time
Our souls together slowly become one
Become one

When I watched the news today
It's just like the world was trying to say
Love will never find its way
There's a price we have to pay
The world is doomed to live its fate

When I feel you close to me
When I look into your eyes
I can see the love that shines
So high above the cries
You bring me to the light

I wish the world could feel the joys
That I feel since you are here

And I feel our Love
Is reaching higher each and every time
Our souls together slowly
Ever slowly become one
Become one

Heaven can wait for a while
Now I have you!
I have you

And I feel our love
Reaching higher each and every time
Our souls together slowly, ever slowly
When I see your Angel eyes

Our Love
Reaches high above the night
Our souls
Give the world a chance to see the light
It builds a piece of Paradise

Heaven can wait...
