As we descent
With waters drained
Let’s stop the game
and wait
We’re not insane
But never be the same again
We’ve learned our play
in vain
Dreams come and go
And all we know
Is painted white
with snow
We’ve lost our way
Between tomorrow and today
And all is washed
away
Another try
Will have us die
But anyway
it’s time
Our souls so bright
Belong to creatures of the night
They look at us
and smile
No guiding light
No wars to fight
Another dream
to find
We’ve lost our way
Between tomorrow and today
So close your eyes
and stay

Sсhöne Leich

My Schöne Leich…
Adorned with flowers, on the cushions rests my love
Silent and light
Her spirit hovers with the gentle winds above.
Roses on her cheeks will bloom 'till your image's colors alive
With the dance of a brush the celestial features forever revive.
Fading sun
Enlightens softly moon-like pallid of your face
With placid smile
Your soul surrenders to the heaven blue embrace
Sweet white lilies diffuse their fragrant breath into the sunshiny air
I could never imagine that death could be ever so tender and fair
'Till there's light
I won't dare to move from the bed where you lie still
Trying to catch
The every trait the eve'll soon for all conceal.
When the bright Moon awakes in the dark velvet sky then her son, Nightingale
Will be singing this night for my bride sleeping tight in the dale

Water Like Stone

The battle's over, now it's up to them
To choose the prisoners already chosen fate
To watch the widows crying, it's too late
To raise the banners high in violent flame
A humble killer sings the song of knife
In darkness where my guardian directs
In wither woods, in marshes full of rats
I dwell forever 'till the end of life
And water like stone
And always keeps silence
In grief and delight
I drink her wisdom again
And I'm all alone
Before telling something
She kissed me goodnight
To hide my secrets and pain
To catch the last so teasing grin of sun
To fall in silent pastures' carpet then
Impossible for me, I'm dead again
And all these pleasures suddenly begun
And vultures slowly dancing in the air
It's not the end, no matter how it seems
The only vision haunts me in my dreams
The bleeding horseman on his way to nowhere...
And water like stone
And always keeps silence
In grief and delight
I drink her wisdom again
And I'm all alone
Before telling something
She kissed me goodnight
To hide my secrets and pain

...to the Endless Play
06:58

From the hollow days
To the endless play
From your deep enclosed wisdom
To my shades of grey
From your storms of summer
To my winter calm
Through the woods and planes silent
To the Death to come
From the ancient sea
To the cliffs and back
Through the hordes of pale angels
With them bloody hands
And all my hopes
Fly over me
Without a sound
Dancing in between
And all I love
Shines over me
To guide your path
To my destiny
From my caves and dungeons
To your wind and rain
From your sharpened hate and anger
To distress and shame
From your cold white arms
To my dreams and smiles
From your burning incantations
To my cloudy skies
From the sanctuary
To the Life itself
From the swans and crows laughing
To the darkened stealth
And all my hopes
Fly over me
Without a sound
Dancing in between
And all I love
Shines over me
To guide your path
To my destiny
From the rotten canvas
Painted with our hopes
To the Fire dancing slowly
To the Hangman's ropes
From the hollow days
To the endless play
From your deep enclosed wisdom
To my shades of grey
From your storms of summer
To my winter calm
Through the woods and planes silent
To the Death to come
And all my hopes
Fly over me
Without a sound
Dancing in between
And all I love
Shines over me
To guide your path
To my destiny

Dust of the Stars
04:25

Dust covers all - snow of the time.
Hours and minutes are withering fast
Bright colours of their petals fragile
Are breaking down in the hands of the past
One breath ago we were laughing and young
Now we are counting the winters we had
How many songs there are still to be sung
How many bright days are we left to get
Order of life we cannot change
All what is left for us is to observe
Its mortal dance, so illusive and strange,
With all its whirls, pirouettes and sharp curves
Dust we breath in of moths, flowers and trees,
Reading their stories, their sighs and their scars.
Dust we become when our time is to cease.
Who said we are but the dust of the stars?
Dust covers all - snow of the time.
Hours and minutes are withering fast.
Bright colors of their petals fragile
Are breaking down in the hands of the past.
Dust we breath in of moths, flowers and trees,
Reading their stories, their sighs and their scars.
Dust we become when our time is to cease.
Who said we are but the dust of the stars?

Fallen Angel of My Dawn
05:37
|
|
||
|
By the waters of the deep
High above and down below
Lonely creatures try to keep
Treasures lost so long ago
Joy and sorrow, truth and lies
Gods of thunder, lords of flies
Love, creation and demise
Last chance to touch your tiny hand
Weak soul apart in silence grey
Last spoken word just falling dead
From pain and darkness fly away
How could it be it's hard to tell
Your shining cradle from my hell
All you've heard and all you've seen
Through the ages of decline
Ugly scars on golden skin
Shining fevers of divine
Cries and whispers, blood and stone
Always tried to fly alone
Fallen angel of my dawn
In mazes bleeding shadows crawl
One final step to kiss the sky
One helpless look to take them all
One to forget and one to die
Last chance to touch your tiny hand
I'll always love you… to the end

Festival

There is snow on the ground,
And the valleys are cold,
And a midnight profound
Blacky squats o’er the wold;
But a light on the hilltops half-seen hints of feastings unhallow’d and old.
There is death in the clouds,
There is fear in the night,
For the dead in their shrouds
Hail the sun’s turning flight,
And chant wild in the woods as they dance round a Yule-altar fungous and white.
To no gale of earth’s kind
Sways the forest of oak,
Where the sick boughs entwin’d
By mad mistletoes choke,
For these pow’rs are the pow’rs of the dark, from the graves of the lost Druid-folk.
And mayst thou to such deeds
Be an abbot and priest,
Singing cannibal greeds
At each devil-wrought feast,
And to all the incredulous world shewing dimly the sign of the beast.

Last Tale of Love
04:32

|

Hands in the water
Heads on the ground
Ignorance falls from above
And dancing around
Dancing around...
Crying and dying
Purple and green
Tell me your last tale of love
That I’ve never seen
That I’ve never seen
That I’ve never seen...
Don’t rise against the skies
There’s no one there
Don’t burn, don’t close your eyes
Don’t wait for me inside
I’ve never shared
Your misery and pride
Don’t call me angel
I’ve never had wings
And never bring mercy again
I’m tired of such things
Too tired of such things
I’ve fallen forever
In blistering void
And never remember again
What I have destroyed
What I have destroyed
What I have destroyed...
Don’t rise against the skies
There’s no one there
Don’t burn, don’t close your eyes
Don’t wait for me inside
I’ve never shared
Your misery and pride
