Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him I knew them all In the fields of dying oath: I'd kill them all to save my own Cut me free Bleed with me Oh, no One by one We will fall Down down Pull the plug End the pain Run'n fight for life Hold on tight This ain't my fight Deliver me from this war It's not for me it's because of You Devil's instant my eternity Obey to kill to save yourself Cut me free... "I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell. My path made up by their torn bodies. Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust... Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore" They wait for me back home They live with eyes turned away They were the first ones to see They are the last ones to bleed "The ultimate high as all beautiful dies. A ruler's tool, priest's excuse, tyrant's delight... I alone, Great White Hunter. I'll march till the dawn brings me rest. 10th patriot at the gallow's pole!" Cut me free |

The end
The songwriter’s dead The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white land of empathica, of innocence The poet ??? meadows of heaven The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widow writer, torn apart by chains of Hell One last perfect verse Yet still the same old song Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become Take me home Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world Forgive me, I have but two faces One for the world, One for God, save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world My home was there at last, these meadows of heaven The venture filled days more with every smiling face Please, no more words Those from a seventh hell No more, please, tell me once my heart goes by Take me home Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world Forgive me, I have but two faces One for the world, One for God, save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world Whore for this cold world Whore for this cold world Sparkle, a scenery With childish lies, I fall With beauty underneath The end, I’m free Tuck me in Beneath the blue Beneath the great Beneath the ray One night reigns a journey in time See them, the light On the shore he sat and hoped Under the same belief Blue sky, the light chose you Shows you hope I’m afraid, so afraid, of being raped Again and again and again I know I will die alone, but loved You live long enough to hear the sounds of chaos Long enough to find yourself screaming And if you want Live long enough to see your friends betray you Years have I been stripped unto this altar Now I only have three minutes left to live I just wish the tide would catch me first And give me a death As I hoped for ???

A star falls down from the darkened sky
Where new worlds born and die Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow What it means is soon to be known Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu To honor this moment even the heavens cease Giant spiders learn how to swim With whales they form a united kin Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound Trilobite |

Angels Fall First
An angelface smiles to me Under a headline of tragedy That smile used to give me warmth Farewell - no words to say Beside the cross on your grave And those forever burning candles Needed elsewhere To remind us of the shortness of your time Tears laid for them Tears of love tears of fear Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows Oh Lord why The angels fall first? Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ I'll never understand the meaning of the right Ignorance lead me into the light Needed elsewhere... Sing me a song Of your beauty Of your kingdom Let the melodies of your harps Caress those whom we still need Yesterday we shook hands My friend Today a moonbeam lightens my path My guardian |

A nocturnal concerto 밤의 협주곡 Candlelight whispers me where to go 촛불이 내게 어디로 가는지를 귓속말해 주었죠 Hymn of gathering stars as my guide 나의 가이드인 별을 모으는 것에 대한 찬가 As I wander on this path of the night 내가 이 밤의 길 위를 헤맨 것과 같이. Embroidery of the stars 별들의 자수 Undress my feelings for this earth 이 지구를 향한 내 감정들을 벗겨내고 Send me your salva to heal my scars 내 상처를 치료하기 위해 내게 당신의 구조를 보내고 And let this nakedness me my birth 그리고 이 무방비 상태의 나를 탄생시켜 주었죠 Macrocosm poured its powers on me 대우주는 그것의 힘을 나에게 부어주었죠 And the hopes of this world I now must leave 그리고 이 세계의 희망들인 나는 이제 떠나야만 하죠 The nightwish I sent you centuries ago 내가 몇 세기 전에 당신에게 보낸 소원의 밤 Has been heard by those Who dwelled in a woe 고뇌 속에서 살았던 저들이 불러왔던. The distance of our bridal bed 우리 혼례의 침대까지의 거리 Await for me to be dead 내가 죽을 때까지 기다리는 Dust of the galaxies take my hand 우주의 먼지가 나의 손을 잡고 Lead me to my beloved's land 나를 가장 사랑했던 땅으로 이끌어요 Departed by the guillotine of death 죽음의 길로틴에서 죽었고 I received a letter from the depth 나는 심연에서 온 편지를 받았죠 The dream of my lover it carried inside 내가 사랑하는 이의 꿈이 그것을 내 마음속으로 가져왔어요 Caressed by the sharpest knife 가장 날카로운 칼을 껴안은 I asked you to be my wife 당신에게 나는 내 아내가 되어달라 했죠 Rays of the setting sun 지는 태양의 빛이 Were my tears wept upon promises undone 이루어지지 않은 약속 때문에 내 눈물은 흘렀죠 Come to me 내게 와요 Make me believe to you and your love again 내게 당신과 당신의 사랑을 다시 믿도록 해 봐요 Above the universe 우주 위에서 Beneath the Great Eye 위대한 눈 아래에서 I shall desire you forevermore 나는 당신을 영원히 바랄 겁니다... |

The days were brighter
Gardens more blooming The nights had more hope In their silence The wild was calling Wishes were whispering The time was there But without a meaning Away, away in time Every dreamas a journey away Away to a home away from care Everywhereas just a journey away The days departed Gardens deserted This frail world My only rest ? The wild calls no more Wishes so hollow The Barefoot Boy Weeping in an empty night Away... Cherish the moment Tower the skies Donat let the dreamer Fade to grey like grass No falling for life A gain for every loss Time gathered me But kept me flying "For this gift of dream I must pay the price With the loss of lifeas pleasures" |

Sweet boy, come in
I am the dark side of you Die for my sins Like the One once did Cinnamon bed For your unashamed appetite A figurante This dance will hurt like hell Oh, bare grace misery Just a child without a fairytale am I Dark but so lovely A Little Match Girl freezing in the snow Love lying, enticing (Bare grace misery) Crowning the moment (Bare grace misery) This is what I am Bare grace for the end of days Romantic scent Spoiled Lucrece lies warm for you There`s no such priest That can pray me to heaven When done with me Forget if you think I feel ashamed A wild thing Never felt sorry for anything Love lying... |

Beauty and the Beast
Remember the first dance we shared? Recall the night you melted my ugliness away? The night you left with a kiss so kind Only a send of beauty left behind Ah dear friend I remember the night The moon and the dreams we shared Your trembling paw in my hand Dreaming of that northern land Touching me with a kiss of a beast I know my dreams are made of you Of you and only for you Your ocean pulls me under Your voice tears me asunder Love me before the last petal falls As a world without a glance Of the ocean's fair expanse Such the world would be If no love did flow in thee But as my heart is occupied Your love for me now has to die Forgive me I need more than you can offer me Didn't you read the tale Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? Don't you know this tale In which all I ever wanted I'll never have For who could ever learn to love a beast? However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember beauty is found within ...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you... |

Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters All this burden is killing me Distance is covering your way, Tears your memory All this beauty is killing me Oh, do you care, I still feel for you So aware, What should be lost is there I fear I will never find anyone I know my greatest pain is yet to come Will we find each other in the dark My long lost love [One More Night To Live] Safely away from the world In a dream, timeless domain A child, dreamy eyed, Mother's mirror, father's pride I wish I could come back to you Once again feel the rain Falling inside me Cleaning all that I've become My home is far but the rest it lies so close With my long lost love under the black rose You told I had the eyes of a wolf Search them and find the beauty of the beast All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes I wish I had one more night to live A saint blessed me, drank me deeply Spitting out the misery in me Still a sinner rapes 1000 saints Sharing the the same hell with me Sanest choice in the insane world... Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers [Christabel] "Oh, sweet Christabel. Share with me your poem. For I know now, I'm a puppet on this silent stage show. I'm but a poet who failed his best play. A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending To each of his poems." |

I was born admist
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 How can I ever feel again Given the chance would I return 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 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 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 Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time '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 And dust and a dark silent grave Remember my child Without innocence the cross is only iron hope is only an illusion And Ocean Soul's nothing but a name The Child bless thee And keep thee forever |

Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls Breathtaking butterfly Chose a dark day to live Save one breath for me A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Why do I miss someone I never met, with bated breath I lay Seawinds brought her to me A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life And all the poetry in the world Finally makes sense to me Save one death for me A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Put to rest all that`s not life Drink for beauty and fill my blank page Sometimes a dream turns into a dream A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath |

Cover the night with your love Dry the rain from my beaten face Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine Come cover me with you For the thrill Till you will take me in Come comfort me in you Young love must Live twice only for us For me For you Time devours passion`s beauty With me With you In war for the love of you (Tonight any dream will do) Not a world but your fine grace Seduction in sleepwalker`s land November dressed in May on your face Holding us now the lovecropper`s hand Come cover me with you... |

Crownless again shall be the queen
Trophy on her grave still remains unseen A boat on the river confessing the sins The Riddler revealing the deep hidden things Crownless again shall be the king A gull covered in oil with a broken wing A hitcher on a road alone and lost Iron sharpens iron - a truth that once was Mine is the Earth and the sword in the stone Mine is the throne for the idol One fleeting moment and it is all gone Crownless again Will I fall? Roaming on razor-sharp castles Ruling all but myself (Now my night is laid to sleep) One fragrant rose worth ten times what I am A crippled begging a coin braver than I ever was Reflection from me - Devil dressed in white Chasten the being Become what I once was Mine is the Earth... |

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..." A lonely soul... An ocean soul... |

All the same take me away
We're dead to the world The child gave thought to the poet's world 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 Heaven queen carry me Away from all pain All the same take me away We're dead to the world 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 We're dead to the world |

Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean
A snowy owl above the haunted waters Poet of ancient gods Cries to tell the neverending story Prophecy of becoming floods An aura of mystery surrounds her The lady in brightest white Soon the incarnate shall be born The Creator of the Night Deep dark is His Majesty's kingdom A portent of tomorrow's world There shall the liquid gice Him power The red-eyed unborn lord Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters The cradle of infinite gloom The spell to master this Earth Carven on an infant's tomb "I will die for the love of the mermaid Her seduction beauty and scorn Welcome to the end of your life - Hail the Oceanborn!" "Disgraced is my virginity Death has woven my wedding dress Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew For you are the cradle of the image of god" "Brave now long rest is sweet With me here in the deep" "I prayed for pleasure wished for love Prayed for your-" "Never pray for me!" "Who the hell are you for me But a mortal dream to see?" "This apathetic life must drown Forever just for me" "Leave me be Leave me be Leave me be...ee...eeee" "Drom cradle to coffin Shall my wickedness be your passion" We shall come to set the dolphins free We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas The eternity will befin once again in peace |

Elvenpath
(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... 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 |

You were my first love
The earth moving under me Bedroom scent, beauty ardent Distant shiver, heaven sent I'm the snow on your lips The freezing taste, the silvery sip I'm the breath on your hair The endless nightmare, devil's lair Only so many times I can say I long for you The lily among the thorns The prey among the wolves Someday, I will feed a snake Drink her venom, stay awake With time all pain will fade Through your memory I will wade Barely cold in her grave Barely warm in my bed Settling for a draw tonight Puppet girl, your strings are mine This one is for you for you Only for you Just give in to it never think again I feel for you |

To a place I once called home Heart of a child ???

To understand the weight of the world Faded and torn, I'll never learn My weak and hoping heart For the child, for the night For the heart I once had I believe I have foreseen Everything I could ever be For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had Time will not heal a dead boy's scars Time will kill For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had |

But let this cup of suffering pass from me Send me no shepherd to heal my world But the Angel the dream foretold Prayed more than thrice for You to see The wolf of loneliness in me not my own will but Yours be done You wake up where's the tomb Will Easter come enter my room The Lord weeps with me But my tears fall for you Another Beauty Loved by a Beast Another tale of infinite dreams Your eyes they were my paradise Your smile made my sun rise For give me for I don't know what I gain Alone in this garden of pain Enchantment has but one truth I weep to have what I fear to lose You wake up where's the tomb Will Easter come enter my room The Lord weeps with me But my tears fall for you I knew you never before I love the pain the hope beautiful one Have made you mine 'till all my years are done Without you The poetry within me is dead |

Asks the boy with a spark in his eye Know why the nightingale sings Is the answer to everything Taking a step to the world unbound Spinning my fantasies all around Freed from the gravital leash I swear the heaven's in my reach Dancing with the spirit of the air In this ocean so so open and fair Making love to the gods above On my maiden voyage so bold Landing safely to the blue lagoon Don't know if this is the earth or the moon Joy of living is no more a mask The Eden I found will forever last Migrating with the geese My soul has finally found peace Doesn't matter that man has no wings As long as I hear the nightingale sing... |

I close my eyes The lantern dies The scent of awakening Wildhoney and dew Childhood games Woods and lakes Streams of silver Toys of olden days Meadows of heaven The flowers of wonder And the hidden treasures In the meadow of life My acre of heaven A 5-year-old winterheart In a place called home Sailing the waves of past Meadows of heaven Rocking chair without a dreamer A wooden swing without laughter Sandbox without toy soldiers Yuletide without the Flight Dreambound for life Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden Until I see the 1st star of fall I fall asleep And see it all: Mother's care And color of the kites Meadows of heaven |

I close my eyes The lantern dies The scent of awakening Wildhoney and dew Childhood games Woods and lakes Streams of silver Toys of olden days Meadows of heaven The flowers of wonder And the hidden treasures In the meadow of life My acre of heaven A 5-year-old winterheart In a place called home Sailing the waves of past Meadows of heaven Rocking chair without a dreamer A wooden swing without laughter Sandbox without toy soldiers Yuletide without the Flight Dreambound for life Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden Until I see the 1st star of fall I fall asleep And see it all: Mother's care And color of the kites Meadows of heaven |

Born to the false world the wanderer
Storyteller the pied piper On a quest for immortality Gathering a troop to find the fantasy Lead by a maid queen of the night Voice of angel such a divine sight An amazon to fight and cure This reality with her feline lure Patriotic to the promised land Of never-waking dream Nightquest a quest not for the past But for tomorrow to make it last Simply the best way to walk this life Hand in hand with a dreamer's mind Enter the realm don't stay awake The dreams remain they only break Forget the task enjoy the ride And follow us into the night A merry minstrel with his fingers fast Playing his lute charming every lass Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye "Shall I find fame - or shall I die?" Warrior with power along the path A hammerheart his gallantry to last Rhythm of sirens enemies take heed For in this war laws are in silent sleep Patriotic to the promised land Of never-waking dream Nightquest a quest not for the past... Come to the Elfland the eldest said In my guidance you shall not be afraid I am the mastermind the wizard to show the way... Nightquest a quest not for the past... First ones to walk this path of night Lady in black lady in white Followed by legions of night-time wanderers Guardians of the halls of heart When we from my homeland depart To challenge the gods of emptiness May the quest begin! |

Welcome home darling Did you miss me? Wish to dwell in dear love?

내가 아닌 다른 여자의 향기... Welcome home darling 집에 온 것을 환영해요, 여보 Did you miss me? 당신 나를 그리워했나요? Wish to dwell in dear love? 소중한 사랑 안에서 살길 바랐나요? Touch my milklike skin 내 우유같은 피부를 만져요 Feel the ocean 바다를 느껴요 Lick my deepest 내 가장 깊은 곳을 핥고 Hear the starry choir 별들의 합창을 들어요 Rip off this lace 이 레이스를 벗겨내요 That keeps me imprisoned 그것이 나의 구속을 풀어줄 거에요 But beware of the enchantment 그러나 매혹하는 것을 조심해요 For my eroticism is oblivion 내 에로티시즘은 망각이랍니다 Old love lies deep you said 오래된 사랑은 깊은 곳에 있다고 당신이 말했죠 Deeper shall be the wound between your legs 깊은 것은 당신 다리 사이를 상처입힐 겁니다. |

One more night
To bear this nightmare What more do I have to say Crying for me was never worth a tear My lonely soul is only filled with fear Long hours of loneliness Between me and the sea Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be one with the waves Ocean Soul Walking the tideline I hear your name Is angels wispering Something so beautiful it hurts Long hours of loneliness Between me and the sea I only wished to become something beautiful Through my music through my silent devotion Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be one with the waves Ocean Soul Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be one with the waves Ocean Soul |

A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too I just might reward myself with a beer or two This inn the place of many romantic tales On the loft women offer their sales But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone A slave she is but for me a rose undone Hear me sing Watch me dance Play that lute of thine And share with me this dance As she danced my eyes began to shine There she was the maiden so divine How could I approach her with my outlook so poor Her beauty being much more than I could endure So I asked if I could sing a chanson With a language of ancient and of lore Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags Soon were the melodies heard by everyone Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us this tale With a clap of hands The stories long - forgotten we still know Performing our skills wherever we go I end my story as I receive a kiss From my girl the dearest Beatrice Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us the tales Which the music will keep alive |

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 till 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 the seas a prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear but yet he dare not say Just where he had 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'd spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away he swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas back in her arms again he'll be 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 again she'll be Over the hills and far away he swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas back in her arms again he'll be 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 again she'll be |

[bonus track]
A star falls down from the darkened sky Where new worlds are born and die Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow What it means is soon to be known Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu To honor this moment even the heavens cease Giant spiders learn how to swim With whales they form a united kin Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound Trilobite & Anymalocharis The prey and the hunter Survival of the fittest Fall of Man Seadrops foam all empty human skulls Those on the shores of Atlantis Darwin's resurrection is witnessed By turtles he used to play with Healed and happy She oversees The Mother The tyrant's return to the sea |

Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow The frozen figure Crossed by tracks of wolves An encounter symbolic yet truthful With a hungry choir of wolves An agreement imemorial to be born Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany all charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire promise between the tameless And the one with a tool Tonight the journey From a cave begins I want to hunt With the tameless heart I want to lear The wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams For our children flow Wrapped in Beneath the northern lights From my cave I watch the land untamed And wonder if some becoming season Will make the angel melt in shame I want to hunt With the tameless heart I want to lear The wisdom of mountains afar I want to hunt With the tameless heart I want to lear The wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams For our children flow |

A ballad of dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Ancient mariner in a sea of sand The burning beauty his tomb to die for 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Horizon`s swarming with death Run! Heaven has a darkened face Dunes are soaring, as on a chase Caravan of the cursed Chasing him across the waves May he now rest under aegis of mirage As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen |

for the poorest sacrifice I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed You bathed in my wine Drank from my cup mocked my rhyme Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds Put a stake through my heart And drag me into sunlight So awake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer Swansong for the Wish of Night God it hurts give a name to the pain Our primr ose path to hell is growing weed Put a stake through my heart And drag me into sunlight So a wake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer Blame me it's me Coward a good for nothing scapegoat Dumb kid living a dream Romantic only on paper Tell me why you took all that was mine Stay as you lay don't lead me astray Tell me why you took all that was mine Stay as you lay don't lead me astray Wake up mow the weed You'd be nothing without me Take my life if you have the heart to die You bastards tainted my tool Raped my words played me a fool Gather your precious glitter and leave me be The Great Ones are all dead And I'm tired too |

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 night The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime 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 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...
