INTRODUCTION

As you walk through the valley of black lamps and lambs...

you leave tiny drops of dreams behind.

Listening to happy songs and sad melodies about the world of make belief.

And you breath every second and you leave every minute till the time you were given from a star fades away.

And the course of your steps,

of your traces on the sand, 

will be gone, 

after a while,

dissapear. 

Without after or before

in the Kingdom of Madness

you are all left alone.

And you feel you can cry and laugh and play in the sun.

Forgotten words,

 the sun, 

the moon, 

the rainbows...

In the Forgotten Kingdom.

No colors, only grey,

like the games that you play.

No room for fairytales, fire and steal and big metal monsters and mean thoughts

and bad habits

and suffering

and hiding

and killing

and pain.

Natures second side, 

the back side, 

a darker moon,

an isolated 'heaven',

of dry emotions,

full of glitter.

Like fairydust frozen in time. 

NO FAIRIES ALLOWED.

No castles with princesses,

 no dragons,

no Venus or Zeus,

no heroes, 

no noble causes. 

Just pain and sad songs. 

And rain,

 and clouds,

and darkness 

and cold. 

And ghosts.

And big cars with costumes black

and ties 

and colored papers 

and huge cigarettes with red eyes.

Living on Mars.

The Kingdom is doomed, 

the Kingdom will be saved.

And in the mists of a stormy sea

YOU 

will search for pets

and cut frogs 

who jump and learn to their friends

 the meaning of being a good frog. 

And we will dance...

The dance of the nine vails. 

Each time closer to the end of times

the tomorrow of beginnings.

Success is the arrow. 

Dreams are what you do when you sleep awake

watching butterflies around stupid flowers, 

beautiful, 

wonderful trees of green fields

and open skies.

Evolution of the ignorant and spears of fire in the sky.

And a future in the past, 

in the present, 

in the dark energy that you love consuming

like baked potatoes in the oven. 

Modern ideas, 

old heads 

filled up with strawberries and sugar.

Demons and gods

 high up 

will travel and go away. 

'This is no place for us'

they ' ll say. 

Jump little frog

and be as green as you can. 

You 'll win a gold metal 

in the end. 

A big gold metal 
heavy as a horse
that will drive you 
at the bottom of the lake
to find other doors.
