"PAY THE PRICE"
[Tema do álbum "Snooze" de 2004]

X's freedom costs money, as almost everything in this world.
One' s got to eat and sleep warmly under some roof.
Months will pass.

X will keep on moving and his body will…

X (Thinking):
What's the price of not to follow?
What's the price of getting older?
Is this a new collision?
What's to conquer if I… FALL?!

Narrator:
Morning arrives and X is leaving for his last trip
Not much more cash to burn
He takes the path of vision

Blinking his eyes as if there's nothing he wants to see anymore
His whole life in the bag
No need for more than this, just…

X (Thinking):
Look at the people laughing all around
They seem they ain' t lost yet some will not be found
Living is not surviving day by day
But if you wanna live my way there's a price you have to pay…


Creature:
Relax it's just your body!

X:
My moments pass away
An hour seems a day once a sigh melts into pain…

(Delirious … A thousand fevers…)

Then suddenly I wake into the light of day!

X (Facing the creature):
Don't wanna think
Give me my drink and leave…

(CHORUS)
I'm done with your questions
I'm ready to pay the price
I'm tired of your answers
I'll meet you in paradise

I've played all your games
You gave me vitiated dice
No mercy for me now
I'm ready to pay the price
I'm ready to pay the price!...

FALL!

Narrator:
Morning is on and X's still leaving for his last trip
Still not more cash to burn
He takes the path of vision

The man in the cab points at the spot where money rolls in
Outside the rain won't stop
But no one feels a drop just…

X (Thinking):
Look at the people lying on the ground
A kick! I bet they make no sound at all
Living is not surviving any way
I guess it's time for me to pay…

Creature:
Relax it's just your body!

X:
Against this fear of life
My fingers slowly strive to keep these nails away from my skin

(Delireous… A thousand fevers…)

Then suddenly I wake in time to save the day!

X (Facing the creature):
Don't wanna think
Give me my drink and leave…

(CHORUS)
I'm done with your questions
I'm ready to pay the price
I'm tired of your answers
I'll meet you in paradise

I've played all your games
You gave me vitiated dice…

No more money.
No more food.
Even water runs dry in this hot room full of disease.
X's body is getting weaker and weaker.
The end seems pretty near.
Nevertheless, he must stay alive… must he really?

Time to…
