1.	Blue Sky 08:40	lyrics	buy track
Welcome! Please! to our amusement park We have attractions for your random thoughts Crazy roller coasters and ugly beasts from dark And a dirty beach for a full length show I cannot stand any more On this desert shore Ash from my unwritten songs Will fall like a snow Do not break, pass on the dance floor Now fulfill his last dance While the best of your creations Turn into false grotesques Dancing to, the strange sounds Rape all dreams of the Promised Land I cannot stand any more On this desert shore Ash from my unwritten songs Will fall like a snow When the sun goes down, cannot help recalling the old days Memories like a pieces of a puzzle - fall into the right places And everything that had a beginning, at the end will end Only the blue sky seems eternal, like smiles from past days Your beauty - never comes back And innocence - appears to rot Disgraced pride and sublime platitude Don't miss - the next turn Now I'm just a grain of sand Fall, and fall into the hell Without grace and without mercy Let us be done with it Memories white from childhood days Will be present, for my overlord Lost and dried up fable of old days Will disappear - and never return Now I'm just a grain of sand Fall, and fall into the hell Without grace and without mercy Let us be done with it When the sun goes down, cannot help recalling the old days Memories like a pieces of a puzzle - fall into the right places And everything that had a beginning, at the end will end Only the blue sky seems eternal, like smiles from past days
2.	One Day 05:05	lyrics	buy track
Once upon a time Not so long ago When we believed In grace of the world There was more light And darkness in fairytales And the changes seemed to us like Empty sounds on our way If you don’t believe in words, About grace of the world Lets roll and rock’n’roll Because one day If you don’t believe the way Falling and despair Don’t stop and don’t stay Because one day One day The only thing you have! One night You are on way to a grave! Sunrise! Change anything! Just try! You have time just to die… Who you are to tell me if it is black or white? Why do you wana tell me how to live my life? You should pray at first, it’s enough to take a stand One small character on an immense scene Every day aiming for some way faraway Be ware this day, may be the only one day
3.	Fantastic Story 04:07	lyrics	buy track
It is a story but not a written book And fishing on a dark side of the moon Where the poetry, has left the poet And about mysterious place without stars Melting grief and pleasure forever Where me and you are holding our hands You know Lonely heart Will be lost in snow In our world Pass the road Knock the gate The fantastic story like a rain In dust The fantastic story lasts? When broken bridge rises in the ashy world And through stone book, the rose will grow Sprinkled with an angel’s tear, clear but so cold And stars will see, our last dance in the night Forgotten, but so sincere and alive Giving this cold world one more hope You know The fantastic story will return In our world Pass the road Knock the gate The fantastic story like a rain In dust The fantastic story lasts? Graceful light Phantom warmth And welcome to new perfect world Of dreams Heartless, ruthless playing everything Pass the road Knock the gate The fantastic story like a rain In dust The fantastic story lasts? New fall Wrong way Far from wishes till the end of days! Far from wishes till the end of days!
4.	I Know Your Lie 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Hello, hello my lovely friend in need Every time you say: “ It’s a really empty deed...” Because so few fans and no Golden hits And you’re not recognized in crowded streets But smile, I smile, every time you say this shit! Because I know your lie You don't stop pushing this theme while alive Know your lie Every Friday evening you are drinking wine Know your lie Every new song won’t bring in a dime And know your lie I know that you know, that I know that you lie Five and eight, and fifteen years have passed Tiny rock-bar, with new band you play “The Best” First gray hair result of first divorce And your music men don't know “Mr. Tuo” And let it be, because the new album will soon be born Hey bastards! Hands off! Rest in peace! Don’t touch my soul! It’s imperative Don't cross the line! Left! Right! And turn around! Full of shit! But don’t give up! Don’t stop! I know you lie!
5.	Wonderful World 04:02	lyrics	buy track
The TV says, the price Of the air rose again We don't need the sun And sentimental shit Get a good job with more pay And please answer little boy: ''A new car, the greatest measure Agree your daddy says?'' Wonderful World Colorful fairytale for blind Wonderful World You gotta strike without crime! We don't see the falling bombs And we didn't start This war Of which so many speaks Boredom and elegant pain And where is a scary clown Which did not sleep in childhood And laughed from early days Wonderful World Colorful fairy tale for the blind Wonderful World You gotta strike without crime! Are you insulted, sad and stressed? The fallen and depressed! And keep it all on the inside Intoxicate your mind! Wonderful World! Wonderful, wonderful! Wonderful World! Wonderful, wonderful! Wonderful World! The blue sky over the ground! Wonderful World! The fallen star in midnight hour! Wonderful World! The playing children on the grass! Wonderful World! You’re everything, that is in us!
6.	Whisky, Piano and Gentel Lie 04:38	lyrics	buy track
That night I was afraid of shame And You played so gentle and started the game Your cigarettes And growing rates Did not promise us happy ending You touched thin strings of my soul And raging wind Replaces calm So slowly fall into the night Intoxicate, bewitch my mind Where every breath is going crazy Gentle, so much gentle grace When falling in space Full of: insomnia, datura , Shiver and no sorrows. Even if there are no doubts It’s a story about: Whiskey, piano and a gentle lie But it’s still the game on thin ice I stopped the play without cry The broken vase And fallen grace. Goodbye, and come back to oblivion. Gentle, so much gentle grace When falling in space Even if there are no doubts It’s a story about Gentle, so much gentle grace When falling in space Even if there are no doubts It’s a story about: Whiskey, piano and whiskey, piano and gentle lie
7.	French Kiss 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Run, run rabbit run Catching the sun And spending your energies Waiting for the greatest someone Or something to show The way to innovations You, so young and alive But everything lies That was promised to you Golden road, Love of TV stars – And eternal youth No! No! Not for you Thought! Indefinite tension Money! The best celebration Love! Or hate as all Small brick in the great wall Peace! Won't change tomorrow Pain! And daily sorrows Rage! Feel like a dog Stop! Recover your breath now! You've never been so happy, like a crazy man And never broke the rules, but drank black coffee and You read Mr. Palahniuk for every lunchtime But never French kissed with a rock star. Time you never come back, And do not forget Bye! Bye! My dear eighteen Twenty-four hours - it's great lie You are asking why? Never seem to find the time. We don’t have a special way Have time to kill today! We can only shout! We’re gonna do it now!
8.	What I Know 04:31	lyrics	buy track
I slowly walk a lonely street And cold ashes touch my feet And wine in my blood runs dry Stops pushing pleasure for your line And all my friends forever dead Or is it again? only in my head Forever nothing, little hope Such a crazy place, can't stand it anymore What I know I know the river will flow And music will play every time When grand piano blesses my mind What I know I know the time will always go Today will turn to yesterday Forgotten words will find their way Two thousand years and a million miles I'm looking for your perfect smile But I forgot your real name And walk somewhere far away And once , when coming back sweet home I asked a question to my world Should I continue search or stay? And what I know and what I may? Ohhh! How I wish I had, A little angel for myself Which would make pain less and the lie And made me stop to cry
9.	Runaway 05:11	lyrics	buy track
Life will not always go on this way Unadmired pictures will forever fade And sails will not help, if there is no wind, And problems catch us – when we stand still Run away, Far away While you're breathing still today Break the cold, Break the warm Keep the world Take this time, Take this chance And hit the road and advance After breathing out, just breathe in We play this sound for the empty halls Will disappear in the crowd of sad clowns So many drunk and such a lot of crap Ready or not, quickly choose your real track
10.	Holidays 06:11	lyrics	buy track
A new Monday morning 6 am on the clock You drink strong black coffee And dogs howl at the moon And day light, like illusion Behind grey twilight And you regret so much For distant sun and shine And day by day you need more A false move and more wine And day by day you get fat When you’re on net online And simple under pressure Ordinary of days But it is time to say, stop: “Let’s go far away” Holidays And rainbow blaze Let go far away, from rainy days And never come back And run well done Holidays for come undone The winter like a stinker Without smile and t-shirts And you keep a paper And write an epilogue But breathing of a summer And carnival of life Not faraway, but near And along for a ride

12.	Люблю тебя 05:54	lyrics	buy track
Если б время в спять, могли б вернуть Было бы иначе? Нет До конца б опять мы прошли бы путь Сквозь радость, боль и смех И встретились как прежде б вновь На жизненном пути На тех дорогах, что нас сведут В предпоследний день зимы Я не вижу тебя Но знаю что есть, ты где то там – за Закатом Ветер, слова унесёт Оставит лишь дрожь, сейчас так надо Время! Возможно пройдёт, А может уже, пал последний замок Но тебя я люблю Дай мне только шанс, я буду рядом Расстояние больше: мили, дни, года А преградой стал абсурд Даже если финиш и навсегда Не надо лишних слов И хотелось бы сказать, как жаль Но шире улыбнусь Но знаю точно, коль будет шанс То я к тебе вернусь
13.	Farewell To The Past 09:22	lyrics	buy track
Beholding all grace of world And sneering over real shock We’re building sandcastles "Waiting for the tide" All brave hearts, are lying in the grave Their quiet song is coming to the end And drumroll, is ready to sound now “To the shouts of crowd” My requiem Not finished yet Every breath may be the last Every new day creates the past Mountains fall and rise again Farewell to the past kills and creates a new day We don't see, the fatal tragedy Mind blowing - philosophy Plain talking - it's misery "Until you see, what i see" The final step to next floor In kingdom of false mirrors Where are dreams may come true "But always, not for you" Welcome to my never lands Shining smile has a rest from trance Black or white with a golden label Little boy in a scarytale But we don't know for whom we play And useless white flag turn into chain Restless soul in a dying world Deeper! Deeper! Falling! Fall! Where are all brave hearts, my mother, Where is the morning sun Where are endless moments That will change us forever Blue lagoon - acid rain Cosmopolitism - public strain Perfect smile has a rest from trance Welcome to my, never land Sun! Shining! Just dreaming! Black! Clouds! Your rule! Farewell the past! New beginning! Simple regret! I know... Give a hand to me, my brother Pass with me all dark roads And remember my last song If i don't see end of road I close my eyes and I see The lonely man standing at the crossroads Maybe... I even knew him Because the shine in his blue eyes, seems familiar to me In his hands, the shards of false mirror --- But today, they are not useful, And he drops them to the ground An endless road leads him away from me And a moment later, his silhouette merges with the horizon The endless emptiness fills me, And a wonderful wonderful world surrounds me And i don't say goodbye, But i say farewell to the past

about

Hello, dear listeners!
My name is Nik Litikov and I am a keyboarder of R-Genium, and at the same time the author of the lyrics and the music. I work up my courage and tell you a bit about this opus.
Relying on your first impression, you'll think: "Oh! Another group with woman academic vocal and keyboards...». But it's extremely deeper and much more delicate.
Wonderful Wonderful World is a plexus and a symbiosis of various styles combined in harmony. From modern metallic breakdown and strong orchestrating pushing you into the eye of the storm to tender and soft ethnic instruments taking you to beautiful magical woods.
From modern electronica and samples bringing insanity to undisturbed solo of Spanish guitar and sounds of harmonica flying you to the warm coasts.
Children's choir against "evil" guitar riffs and blues notes in one song against "Balkan" fun in another.
Romantic Russian ballad and Keltic instrumental composition.
And the lyrics are full of humor and sadness: it's about us and this big and Wonderful Wonderful World we live in.
I hope that everyone, each of you, our dear listeners, will find in this album something for themselves. I believe that it will happen this way and you will love my songs. I’ve fulfilled this work with the best I've learned during my life in music.
Regardless of the style and genre music unlike any other art touches the delicate strings of our souls in so much different ways.
Music is multifaceted and it's not about its style or genre.
Music is the only art which plays thing strings of our souls.
Nik Litikov
