I wish I had an angel for one moment of love I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day I took a step outside an innocent heart Prepare to hate me fall when I may This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I'm in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight
I'm going down so frail'n cruel Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves they die hard Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I'm in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight
Greatest thrill Not to kill But to have the prize of the night Hypocrite Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss Your touch my bliss Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I'm in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight
A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom Child of dew-spangled cobweb Mother to the moon Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant Theater for the play of life
Tragedienne of heavens Watching the eyes of the night Sailing the virgin oceans A planetride for the Mother and Child
Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes In this ambrosial merry-go-round they will gaze Ephemereal life touched by a billion-year show Separating the poet from the woe
Tragedienne of heavens...
Oracle of the Delphian Domine Witness of Adam's frailty Seer of the master prophecy The stellar world her betrothed
Wanderers in cosmic caravan Universal bond - The Starborn
A son in the search for the truth Following the pages of Almagest Discovering the origin of dreams Stargazers ride through the ancient realms
For whom the gun tolls For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion
Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind
Even the dead cry - Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don't care Orchid kids, blinded stare
Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed
"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend" "Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"
"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" "Your praying is in vain It'll all be over soon" "Father help me, save me a place by your side!" "There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves"
"Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones"
"Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game"
"Run away with your impeccable kin!"
"- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..." Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors' guilt In us forevermore
15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy: "How were we supposed to know?"
Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me
Would you do it with me Heal the scars and change the stars Would you do it for me Turn loose the heaven within
I'd take you away Castaway on a lonely day Bosom for a teary cheek My song can but borrow your grace
Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me (Dream of me)
Come out, come out wherever you are So lost in your sea Give in, give in for my touch For my taste, for my lust
Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me
Your beauty cascaded on me In this white night fantasy (Dream of me)
Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me
Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me (Dream of me)
Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me
In the sheltering shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet The Elvenpath
Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf folk is calling me Tapio Bear king Ruler of the forest Mielikki Bluecloak Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath
The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him At the grove I met the rest the folk of my fantasies Bilbo Sparhawk goblins and pixies Snowman Willow trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath
As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight
"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls. I was weak, yet not unblessed. Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. One night I dreamt a white rose withering, a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. A witnessed the beauty of the beast"
Where have all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time
How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return?
I've never felt so alone in my life As I drank from a cup which was counting my time There's a poison drop in this cup of Man To drink it is to follow the left hand path
"Where have all the feelings gone? Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time, soon to be freed from care, from human pain. My tale is the most bitter truth: Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave. Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron, hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
The sun is sleeping quietly Once upon a century Wistful oceans calm and red Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life For wishes I behold my nights The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night time to last for a life-time The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you
Sorrow has a human heart From my god it will depart I'd sail before a thousand moons Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light Will be desired by a night A moment for the poet's play Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you
I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you....
The child gave thought to the poet's words Gave comfort to the Fallen (Heartfelt, lovelorn)
Remaining, yet still uninvited Those words scented my soul (Lonely soul, Ocean soul)
It's not the monsters under your bed It is the Man next door That makes you fear, makes you cry, Makes you cry for the child All the wars are fought among those lonely men Unarmed, unscarred
I don't want to die a scarless man A lonely soul (Tell me now what to do)
I studied silence to learn the music I joined the sinful to regain innocence
Heaven queen, cover me In all that blue Little boy, such precious joy Is dead to the world
Heaven queen, carry me Away from all pain All the same take me away We're dead to the world
Dead, silent, constant Yet always changing - My favorite view of this world
As he died, he will return to die in me again Weaving the cloth, giving birth to the Century Child Who gave his life not for the world but for me Innocence reborn once more
They came for him one winter's night Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery His pistol had been found
They marched him to the station house He waited for the dawn And as they led him to the dock He knew that he'd been wronged "You stand accused of robbery" He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
Over the hills and far away For ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and blue seas A prisoner's life for him there'll be
He knew that it would cost him dear But yet he dare not say Where he'd been that fateful night A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend He spent his final night of freedom
Over the hills and far away He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and blue seas Back in her arms he swear he'll be Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and Over the hills and Over the hills and far away
Each night within his prison cell He looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom
Over the hills and far away She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas Back in his arms he swears she'll be
Over the hills and far away He swears he will return one day Over the mountains and the seas Back in her arms is where he'll be
Over the hills and far away She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the sea Back in his arms is where she'll be
In your creation heaven did decree That in your arms sweet death should dwell
Deep Silent Complete Black velvet sea The sirens are calling for me
Saved my soul thinking "This song's a lie" Sand on the shore is so dry
Deep Silent Complete Black velvet sea Brave day sinking in endless night
The age will say "This poet lies" Heaven never touched earthly face The age will say "This night was ours" Blessed with the Deep The Silent the Complete
Naked in midwinter magic 한겨울 마법속에서 나체가 되어 Lies an angel in the snow 눈에 천사가 누워있어 The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves 늑대의 흔적이 지나간 얼어붙은 모습 An encounter symbolic yet truthful 아직 진실된 상징의 만남 With a hungry choir of wolves 굶주린 늑대의 합창단과 An agreement immemorial to be born 태어나려는 먼 옛날부터의 약속
Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest 숲의 요정의 감미로운 하프소리는 Accompany all charming tunes 매력적인 음의 반주로 가둔다 Of a sacrament by a campfire 모닥불에서의 성례를 A promise between the tameless 길들여지지 않은 자와 And the one with a tool 도구를 든 자 사이의 약속 Tonight the journey from a cave begins 오늘밤 동굴에서부터의 여행은 시작된다
I want to hunt with the tameless heart 나는 길들일 수 없는 마음을 찾고싶다 I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar 난 먼 산들의 지혜를 배우고 싶다 We will honor the angel in the snow 우리는 눈속의 천사에게 경의를 표한다 We will make the streams for our children flow 우리는 우리의 아이들을 위해 시냇물이 흐르게 할 것이다
Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights 북쪽의 빛 아래 털에 감싸여 From my cave I watch the land untamed 내 동굴에서 난 야성의 땅을 보며 And wonder if some becoming season 만약 다가오는 계절이 Will make the angel melt in shame 천사를 부끄럼움에 녹일지 궁금해한다
I want to hunt with the tameless heart 나는 길들일 수 없는 마음을 찾고싶다 I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar 난 먼 산들의 지혜를 배우고 싶다 I want to hunt with the tameless heart 나는 길들일 수 없는 마음을 찾고싶다 I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar 난 먼 산들의 지혜를 배우고 싶다 We will honor the angel in the snow 우리는 눈속의 천사에게 경의를 표한다 We will make the streams for our children flow 우리는 우리의 아이들을 위해 시냇물이 흐르게 할 것이다

Born from silence, silence full of it A perfect concert my best friend So much to live for, so much to die for If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can`t say Forget what you can`t play Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes Walk within my poetry, this dying music - My loveletter to nobody
Never sigh for better world It`s already composed, played and told Every thought the music I write Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin Died for the beauty the one in the garden Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh...
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength. Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone Show me love, hold the lorn So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I`m sorry Time will tell (this bitter farewell) I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the Division Bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed-of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever
