"The show must go on"

Everything has been prepared, but how I place myself?
And everybody is waiting, but how I leave this fright?

Do you feel your heart's beating, just like the way I feel?
Do you feel your body's shaking, just like the way I feel?

Hoping for the best and do the best we can. coz we can't wait any longer
Giving all we have and leave all the things behind

Coz we know..
The show must go on! Like what we have planned
The show must go on! It can't be delayed



"The Maze"

I've tried to find out what scene's figured out
When we met that rainny night
You seemed so weary and crowned with devoid
Wishing a blade of light to come

The rain has fallen through an empty street
Drowning the viewless moonshines
Then you stood by me at a higher sideway
Trembling down the drying leaves

I can't find you there
When the rain's falling again

You have gone away before I know your deepest thoughts
Leaving me under this loneliness
You have gone away when I realized you're just a dream
Breaking me against the curfew wall


"Untitled"

My life's being frozen..
by the cold wind which blows inside my heart
Will I get through this faint without my dignity and all faith?

My dreams turn into nightmares..
I have looked at life from both sides now
Send me a guardian angel if you're not only a dream in my sleep

Les you leave me..
where will I hide my sorrow?
Hold me in and never let go..
and ged rid me away from this maze

And all my dreams in this life turn into nightmares in an endless night..

 
Pohon Waru di tepi kali

Pohon Waru di tepi kali..

Membawaku ke suatu memori

Saat rindang teduhmu masih menaungi

Pohon Waru di tepi kali..

Dahanmu yang menjulur menggapai tengah tengah kali

Dulu tanpa rasa ngeri kupanjati

Kuandaikan pesawatku yang melang-lang terbang tinggi

Kujadikan papan tumpuanku terjun ke kali

Pohon Waru di tepi kali..

Bunga-bunga kuning-jinggamu memang tak'kan pernah mewangi

Namun kenangan tentangmu selalu mengajakku kembali

Pohon Waru di tepi kali..

Di kakimu dulu aku belajar memainkan bidak-bidak catur,

membasuh tubuhku mandi di kali,

atau sekedar melabuh letih di sore hari

Di kakimu kali mengalun entah kemana berujung tepi

Yang kala itu airnya jernih menghijau hingga kini kian menghitam terpolusi

Pohon Waru di tepi kali..

Kian melapuk termakan hari dan berakhir roboh ke kali

Menyadarkanku kelak juga kan mati

Pohon Waru di tepi kali..

Kini hanya anganku yang menjelma puitis..
