LIES AND BUTTERFLIES

Mysterious song Lyrics

Ancre 1

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Caught in the whirlwind of time

Watching the night sky

Searching for something

Sowing new dreams in our mind

Deceiving our freewill

Waiting for someone else

For thousands of years

The world has longed for something to believe in

Forging faith into fear

Dividing souls, leading to a dead end road

Looking for something else

Looking for something else

Looking for something else

Watching the world go round and round

And crumbling down

Wasting your given precious time

Waiting for something else

What’s with the clouds in the sky?

Does anybody know?

Does anybody know?

What’s with the moon in the night

Does anybody know?

Does anybody know?

What brings the wind in the fields?

Does anybody know?

Does anybody know?

The bell tower’s silence’s unreal

Does anybody feel?

Does anybody fear?

What’s wrong with our children’s smiles?

Does anybody know?

Does anybody know?

How strange the tears in their eyes

Does anybody care?

Does anybody care?

What brings this wind from the East?

Does anybody know?

Does anybody know?

Inviting our souls to the feast?

Does anybody go?

Is it time to go?

While all the rivers run dry

No one seems to care?

No one really cares?

With no more tears left to cry

Now everybody knows

and everybody cares

Ancre 2

Come to Me

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Roaming through the streets

from dusk to dawn on foggy nights

Distant noise that seems to call your name

and no one else

Remains of dreams exposed

and waiting for so many likes

No one seems to care,

this world is so unfair

The writings on the walls are gateways

far from their lonely lives

Take them out somewhere

to feed the dreams of someone else

Only time will tell

who will share those daily lies

No one left to blame,

no one satisfied

Come to me

Take my hand and follow me

Why don’t you come with me?

Little kings spread their filthy wisdom words

for those who never mind

Oppressing the whole world,

Safely behind closed bedroom doors

Evil spirits mesmerized by their passive way of life

Dying all alone,

live on streaming sites

Come to me

Take my hand and follow me

Why don’t you talk to me

Hold my hand and come with me

Come to me

Take my hand and follow me

Why don’t you come to me

Hold my hand and follow me

Ancre 3

How do you Feel?

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

How do you feel now?

Young and lonely in a strange land

Like heroes in fables and stories

The winds of March will bring winter’s end

She’s always smiling

When you see her day to day

But she’s been crying

while you looked the other way

She’s often hiding

To save you from the pain

that she’s been fighting

In the most mysterious way

She keeps the faith

The same humble religious way

And lights a candle

To a different god she prays

She closes her eyes

And let her soul drift away

Her heart is moved by

The same music we praise

How do you feel now?

Young and lonely in a strange land

Like heroes in fables and stories

The winds of March will bring winter’s end

How do you feel now?

How do you feel now?

Like heroes in fables and stories

Only you can bring winter’s end

Something to Believe in

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Innocence

We were young and restless

In a world we called our own

I will never forget these eyes

These eyes

Suddenly

One by one

Our dreams all fade away

Drifting us all apart and far away

We all need a reason

A glimpse of something

to grab and make our own

Something to believe in

I don’t need no reasons

To feel the love

that shines within your eyes

Something to believe in

Nowadays

All we see is all we’ll ever know

Until we close our eyes

We close our eyes

We all need a reason

A glimpse of something

to grab and make our own

Something to believe in

Ancre 5

Dare to Dream

Music by Jean Pageau 

Words by Jean Pageau and Hans Raffelt

He always dared to dream

to live his life in full

Wanting to soar beyond convention

Beyond those forces that pull

But the more they hold him down

The harder becomes the fight to be free

The thicker the veil that blinds

Stronger must be his will to be

Daring to dream,

to aspire for one’s birthright

one’s freedom

he who does is halfway there in his dreams

and halfway there in his life

In this maze where we all toil

We want to raise new walls

Until we feel so isolated,

that we forget that this is not all.

Trapped in a paradox of our making

We become prisoners of the same

Like all king rats behind bars

We strive for the upper hand in the game

Daring to dream

To aspire for one’s birthright

One’s freedom

He who does is halfway there in his dreams

And halfway there in his life

He always dared to dream

To live his life in full

Wanting to soar beyond convention

Beyond those forces that pull

But the more they hold him down

The harder becomes the fight to be free

The thicker the veil that blinds

Stronger must be his will to be.

Daring to dream,

to aspire for one’s birthright

One’s freedom

He who does is halfway there in his dreams

And halfway there in his life

Where Dreams Come Alive

Music by Sylvain Moineau

Words by Michel St-Pere

Search for the Holy Grail

Into the darkness

Seems like the schemes were made

Ahead of time

Hiding behind the veil

Faces without smiles

Wide eyes to see you fail

Drink to your fall

Run before they find your track

Run for your life

Run away and don’t look back

Run to the light

Marching ahead till we find

The lost land where dreams come alive

All daydreamers

Marching hand in hand

Marching ahead till we find

The lost land where dreams come alive

All daydreamers

Marching hand in hand

Nightmares often find a way to climb

The ladders of your life

Imaginary scenes that seem so real

Transfix your peace of mind

Nightmares often find a way to climb

The ladders of your life

Imaginary scenes that seem so real

Transfix your peace of mind

Marching ahead till we find

The lost land where dreams come alive

All daydreamers

Marching hand in hand

Ancre 7

Words and Music by Michel St-Pere

Once upon a time in a forest

Two friends were playing joyfully

Climbing rocks all day till darkness

Mesmerized by stars above the trees

Nothing could take you away from me

And no one could take me away from you

Growing up, lost in the wilderness

Crawling around from tree to tree

Always together in joy or sadness

But life has so much more to see

When hopes and dreams unite

You’ll be born again

From the ashes you’ll rise

like the wind beneath your wings

You fly away

You were born to fly butterfly

Far away you’ll fly butterfly

You are free to fly butterfly

Spread your wings and fly…

Brothers and sisters,

heart and soul united

By the sword of ignorance and prejudice,

we’ll be divided

New days arise over a brand new world

Red coloured wings glide above and swirl

Fluttering with pride and heart as pure as pearl

Blue wings are left behind shinning red mirrors

Spread your wings like nations raise their flag

The blind can see beyond the tones and shades of life

Those blessed with open eyes polish their narrow mind

Prejudice once learned, hatred runs in your veins

Bigotry lines will rhyme in your anthems of shame.

Spread your wings like nations raise their flag

Raise their flag

Spread your wings like nations wave their flag

Entangled in a web that never really caught your eyes

The more you try to free yourself

The more it pulls you tight

True wonders of nature are not always on your side

You can scream, cry, fight back

You‘re just a butterfly

Dark eyes in the corner waiting to see the signs

Awaken by vibrations of your softest sigh

Slowly approaching enjoying your desperate fight

In the eyes of the spider

You’re just another butterfly

All you took for granted is lost

Only then you realize

All your friends have gone now

No one would stand by your side

The velvet covering your wings

That built your circle and your pride

Won’t make much of a difference

on the day you die

Once you give in to all this madness

Blue angels you’d never hoped to see

One last look that fills your heart with sadness

He gave his life to set you free

Who are you to see what lies within my heart?

And who’s to judge me by the colour of my wings?

Who are you to know what lies deep in my soul?

And who’s to judge me by the colour of my wings?

What difference does it make if we can fly away?

The colours of our wings

What differences does it make once we fly away

You were born to fly butterfly

Far away you’ll fly butterfly

You are free to fly butterfly

Spread your wings and fly…

Little butterfly
