De/Vision – 6 Feet Underground

6 feet underground

01. I’m not enough
02. I’m not dreaming of you
03. Unputdownable
04. Turn me on
05. 6 feet underground
06. Aimee
07. Right on time
08. Take me over
09. You are the one
10. Beside you
11. Klangmonaut

12. Take me to heaven

I’m not enough

I can’t breathe in this atmosphere
No air no life in here
An all-enveloping silence
Multiplied my fear
Killed myself a million times

To feel that I’m alive
Reconstruct myself every day,
anyway

I’m not enough
I’m never enough
I have left no stone unturned
Rest in me
Breathe life into me

I’m dying over and over again
Rock me to sleep
And bury me deep
Deep inside your hollow wounds
Rest in me
Breathe life into me
I’m dying over and over again

I’m living on borrowed time

I am past my prime
Quite determined to exhaust myself
And live in someone else
Everybody needs a little affection
Once in a while
Reincarnation of a broken soul
All alone

^back to top

I’m not dreaming of you

There’s a feeling within
Getting under my skin
Breakdown
My plane just hit the ground
Got control over me
Got to rise out of me
Downfall

Full tilt against the wall
Of all the things I would ever do
I only regret the fact
That I ever put my trust in you

I can’t go on denying
A part of me is dying
Whenever I’m in you
Is it me is it you

I can’t go on pretending
This is how we’re ending
I stopped dreaming of you
And the things we would do

Like a thorn in the side
A distortion of life
No way, can’t take another day
Every storm you create

Every feeling I fake
Wake up my truth became a slut
How hard you try no matter what you do
In the end my dear
Your love won’t ever be enough for two

This is how we’re ending
I’m not dreaming of you

^back to top

Unputdownable

Down there by the river
Underneath a tree
I wish you were here with me
Deep down in the water
Secluded from the world
My heart unfurled

I’m filled with love
From far above
I’m unputdownable
I found a light
In the dead of night
Yeah I’m feeling fine
The river flows
The feeling grows
I’m unputdownable

Lead me on and on
Lead me on and on

Though it takes forever
I’m waiting patiently
Until you are here with me
Arrogance and anger
Curve the way to light
And lead into the night

^back to top

Turn me on

Every day just feels the same
Nothing ever happens here
I lose myself in reverie
Every once in a while
Enchain me

with your gentle kiss
Artificial and clean
I lose my tenuous grip on life
So it seems

Everything I can remember
Need you here with me
Your calming words
are like a melody

Turn me on
Bring my blood to run
Turn me on
Could you be the one?

Everything I can remember
Need you here with me
Your beauty timeless
like a tragedy

^back to top

6 feet underground

Lifeless yet alive and eager to live
I laugh bravely, I dare
May your day be
Suffused with light
Come pick my bone

Bathe me in your night

Wherever I turn
My road seems to go nowhere
6 feet underground
Fated to fail
And damaged beyond repair
6 feet underground

Life, mere existence

Go, fill my day
I’m drowing, tired
Say you’re my own one
Say you’ll always be
When I came home
The wind had blown you away

^back to top

Aimee

The sun was cold
The day before you came
To be so bold
As to implore a place in your heart
You make me feel
Like I was special
It feels unreal
My life was yet a doubtful blessing

Aimee
Take all your love out on me
Theres nothing to it
Take all your love out on me

You make me feel
Like I am special
You make me real
I’d die tonight to lie by your side

^back to top

Right on time

I’m right on time
My light will guide you
I’m right on time
My love will find you

^back to top

Take me over

Take my hand
Forever yours
Your wish is my command
Heart of gold
Her beauty almost
painful to behold
My world’s on fire

Commit me to the flames
Don’t ever leave me
The flames get higher
We’ll kiss the pain away
My one desire

Take me over
Over and over

My world’s on fire

Commit me to the flames
Don’t ever leave me
The flames get higher
You suck the pain away
My one desire

^back to top

You are the one

The very moment I saw you
All my yearning took shape
You’re all I ever wanted
Like a dream incarnate
We’ll be perfect forever
Me and my good time girl
we we’re too ordinary
For a perfect world

I am barely hanging on
Don’t let go
You are the one
Some are born to pure delight
I was born to roam the night

While you’re killing me gently
Our lifelines entwine
We’re the stars in our own world

Unaffected by time

^back to top

Beside you

I do I try
I live I die
I know I’m not alone
I’m wide awake

Got what it takes
I give as good as I get

In a distance
Faraway
Where my spirit lives
And my lone heart grieves
I feel you

I take the best

And grab the rest
I got to get under way
Live for today
Fall by the way
I go to meet my fate

In a distance
Faraway
Where my spirit lives

And my lone heart grieves
Everything else pales into
Insignificance non-existence
Beside you

I feel about there’s no way out
Love me to death

^back to top

Take me to heaven

10 a.m. I’m cruising through the dark
Stained and on the road
for far too long
I’m going down the only road
I’ve ever known
And for the first time
I’m afraid to go alone

I love you that’s for sure
To love you is the hardest thing of all
I love you that’s for sure
To hold you is impossible to do

Take me to heaven
Take me to heaven, all the way
Take me to heaven
Take me to heaven and back again

Five to twelve
I’m rising to the stars
Thats the only place where I belong
I’m feeling pain and pleasure
I have never known
I’m coming up, I’m coming down
I’m coming home

Forever Darkness

In the fire of the sunken sun
fast as ravens, bullets, thoughts I run
I inhale the golden oil
and I fear forever darkness
Nights come, bringing snow
Forever darkness in my soul
Black, cold days will never cease

when the ground shakes and the light falls
Look into your heart
Do You see the ruins of what we felt before?
Look into your heart
Forever darkness in my soul
Do you see the ruins of what we felt before?
Look into your heart
Do you feel it?
Do you see the ruines

of what we felt before?
Sickening lives the fallen man
This is our world
Here the snake gets her poison
to kill innocense in paradise
Lies come, spirit’s gone
devil’s might has won
Black cold days will never cease
when the ground shakes and the light falls

I Deny You

Would you like to go for a walk?
Essential for you…
May I introduce you to my words:
Small amusements give you joy
You don’t think about its sense

stupid guy…
I deny you, I despise you
You’re the one about whom I laugh
Go to hell now, get a move on!
Follow my advice!
I deny you, I despise you
You’re the one whom I regret
Go to hell now, get a move on!
I’ll show you, go to hell!

Truth it has no value for you
You keep up appearances
Shut your gob, now I am talking!
A fat lot you know about the truth
Now our ways will seperate forever
Forget my words and live the world
You live Now it’s time to say goodbye to you
Walk your path again and keep a fool!

Counting Moments

This is the day
When grief pours freezing over me
Like rushing mighty floods
To drown the flame
burning in my eyes
Freezing coals in my soul

I ask myself,
how came these things to pass?
Sometimes unexpected seconds just arrive too fast
Counting moments always change my life
Counting moments when joy or tears arrive
Counting moments I never will forget
Sudden, unexpected things come to pass
I’ll never enter dreams of Eden anymore
The low last edge of the universe

Now all hope’s destroyed
images burst
Perspectives gone and past
Dreams devide and break
Sudden movements piercing through my life
Unforeseen joy or tears arrive

^back to top

Can’t Find You

I’m standing at the coast
and I listen to the waves
I’m searching for a place
to anchor my heart
But the water is too deep
to find you
I’m drifting away
washed to the shore

Sand in my eyes
I can’t find you
I’m searching stone for stone
I’m diving blue for blue
I’m diving deep in you
but I can’t find you
Waters wash my soul
I listen to the waves
telling stories far from home

They live and breathe and break
they’re washing clear my soul

^back to top

Autumn

My heart is crushed
It’s lying there and growing cold
Summer’s sunset falls

Sunlight flees away
and dews of night arise
Rainy autumn moves my heart
Flowers welking welk my joy
Clouds come rolling over
they depress me, overrun me
They overshadow my heart
Autumn comes apace,
a last warm glance sighing to me

Now grey vails between the earth and sea
Birdless branches in the wind
Leaves they found their death in coldness
Naked trees in the frost of night
yearning for the sun again and again
Waters laying still in transparent fog
Lakes of blue covered with ice
to sleep their wintersleep

^back to top

Rain

When the day comes you wish it dark
Life’s black window of your soul
When the day comes
You wish I’m dead
Black temptation in your head
When your lies come I wish you’re gone

The pulse of your veins under ice
When I look into your heart I find a desert
where you let hot rain falling burn
I’m walking down this dying land
step by step, walk for walk
The autumn rain rains on my life
drop for drop, tear for tear
When the day comes you wish it dark
Life’s black window of your soul

Let the hot rain falling burn
Tell your heart it has to learn
Let the hot rain falling burn
Keep your thoughtful land alive

^back to top

Hopelessness

I’m looking through my window and I see

a lonesome star lost in the night
I’m looking through my window and I see
midnight’s gloomy forest, its mighty trees
The new-moon winter-bright
overspread with phantom light
Cold winds are knocking at my door
Should I open?
Welcome to my broken heart, I invite You
I’ll show you hidden dreams, just explore

Dreams that yearn for sunny days
Dreams that search for hopeful ways
Realize my deepest dreams!
When the cold winds visit me
my wishes freeze, illusions flee
Hopelessness, it fills my soul
Hopeless ways I’m walking down
I’m sitting here, no window there
No lights I see I’m waiting for

Dreams that yearn for sunny days
Dreams that search for hopeful ways

^back to top

Left Alone

A shining star it sinks
and spreads its last silver rays
A short glance and then escape

to universal spheres
The last sinking star leaving us
and with it the last remaining truth
Mankind stained itself with sin
Wisdom changed to cold, we hunted everything
The last fleeing star says goodbye
We’re left in loneliness
Stars we cannot buy
We’re left alone

without warmth, without light
The stars, the moon they leave tonight
God is out of sight
We’re left alone
without heart, without soul
We’re left alone in fields of gold
The sun, the stars, the moon
returning home to God
Crying about the earth

We’re lost in emptiness of space,
we’re lost in emptiness of sense
Wounds we have to close
before the last wise thought perishes

^back to top

Downwards

I’m walking down this way

without an aim, without a course
I sometimes find an open door
to rooms that show me trivial thoughts
I see wastelands in your heads
without ideas, without respect
I blame mankind
Your road leads downwards
into sinful life
Down and down the steps you fall

Tears they fall like springing rain
down onto the poisoned earth
Thoughts that love the routine life
push me out of your door
A tree’s my friend just loving me
despite it’s wounds bleeding free
And the sun is blind,
happy rays are gone
The tree is dead…

I blame mankind

^back to top

Cold Under Water

I dive into the sea
to realms of unknown blue
I break the surface
to drown in nothingness

Calm before the storm
Storms drowning everything
Floods drowning all
You’re sinking down
Water, deep, blue, cold
The sea’s calling you
Floods drowning all
Blue dimensions
Water, deep, blue, cold

destroying all
And the flood’s destroying all
And the world is sinking down
Blue dimensions over us
Our world is dying
Black clouds appear
and the rain falls
Lands under water
they sink into forget

Cold under water
lies the wreck called mankind

^back to top

Many Wills

I’m lying on my bed now
No morning gives me promise
of a glorious day

Will happiness return?
I overdrink the day
I overdring the night
I’m drinking forth myself
abroad to an empty loss
down to a sunless sea
to drown in my own misery
Will my happiness return?
Will the night lay to rest?

Future-expectations there?
Hopeful promise anywhere?
Will my happiness return?
Will the night lay to rest?
Will the rainbow bridge my ways?
Will there be glorious days?
I’m a stranger for the world
Nevermore to dance
Isolation in my rooms

Oh hell that I was born
Too many wills that don?t come true
No chance to realize
The final countown, final flight
to false illusions, astral suicide
I’ll stop my sadness, use the key
to the outlet of my misery

Like Tears In Rain

go to the empire state and watch the city lights
hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl
stare into the sky we’re few and far between
black eyes full of stars wide with memories

every street I ever walked
every home I ever had

is lost

every flower I ever held
every spring I ever had
has died

every man I ever knew
every woman I ever had
is gone

everything I ever touched
every thing I ever had
has died

lie down in the park and watch the satellites
hear the children sing just a breath away
dance in the heavy air along the interstate
black lung full of fumes choke on memories

every street I ever walked

every home I ever had
is lost

every flower I ever held
every spring I ever had
has died

every man I ever knew
every woman I ever had
is gone

everything I ever touched
every thing I ever had
has died

No Man’s Land

i don’t want to let you go before i understand
i don’t want to let you go to the no man’s land

i don’t want to let you go I want to hold your hand
i don’t want to let you go to the no man’s land

Afterhours

i have devils on my mind
and the hour’s getting late
there’s nothing more to have

i’m waiting for the day
the weeks are passing by
thinking of the days
i want to burn myself again
i want to violate you
i want you to hurt me again

oh i’m never going to waste your time again
burn your love tonight

oh i’m never going to waste your time again
we can touch the stars tonight

i have devils on my mind
they refuse to set me free
my followers in crime
but you’re the one I fear
hiding from your eyes
thinking of your skin

i want to burn myself again
i want to violate you
i want you to hurt me again

oh i’m never going to waste your time again
burn your love tonight
oh i’m never going to waste your time again
we can touch the stars tonight

Helicopter

twenty years ago I rode
by helicopter to the sky
I laughed at gravitation
for a moment I was free

they say I never landed
you know they may be right

it looks better from above
with some distance in between

to leave is never easy
perhaps it shouldn’t be
but return is even harder
yes return is harder still

I often dream of flying
far above the city streets

I beat my wings and leave
for Cairo or New York

I can go to many places
but there’s no one there to meet
and the sky is a lonely place
just me and the silent clouds

^back to top

Tour De Force

you burn the ground to hold your position
you ran away if I came too close
you kept track of balance and pressure
all the dreams and desires
I want some more

red
black

green for the jackpot

take you down
I want to take you down
I want to take you down with me

we had the motion we had the grace
we had a sense of time and place
we wrote the rules we played the game
and it would never be the same

it was the beauty while we played
we played to win but no one did
we grew old we moved ahead
from dance hall days for higher stakes

you spun the wheel to keep my attention
you danced away if I missed a beat
you were queen of present and future
I was king and cavalier

on our tour de force

^back to top

Unforgiven

i think you are not my friend
i think you’re not on my side
i think i made a mistake

you try to sneak behind my back

but trust can not be stolen
friendship must be earned and affection’s not for sale
i know you want respect
but contempt is all you get from me
we are forever unforgiven

you call me a traitor
but you are a snake
an eye for an eye

and a tooth for a tooth

i think you are in too deep
i think you’re not what you seem
i think i have been a fool
i think i should take more care

you try to sneak behind my back
but trust can not be stolen
friendship must be earned and affection’s not for sale

i know you want respect
but contempt is all you get from me
we are forever unforgiven

Humility

behold the beauty that surrounds us
see the wonders we take for granted

roam the world in all her glory
sail the seas and climb the mountains
discover things you never knew
be happy that you’re alive

so many reasons to remain
so many people to embrace
so many stories to be told
so many errors to correct

turn your gaze towards the moon
even further if you dare
turn your face towards the sun
and be grateful that it’s there

behold the beauty we have made us
all the wonders that we created
see the cities of the ancients
in the deserts and the jungles

see the truth you always knew
be happy that you’re alive

so many reasons to remain
so many people to embrace
so many questions to be asked
so many answers to be found

Dead Stars

we find our songs
in fashion magazines
we read the story
in the morning paper

I touch their hearts
and they touch my skin
I’m on your screen

and you are just so wide

though I get my kicks
it’s slowly wasting me
don’t try to be an artist
I try to be a man

dead stars still burn
dead still stars burn

we find ourselves
in pictures on the net
blinded by science
addicted to devotion

I’m in your hold
eager to abuse
my favourite game
I suffer from misuse

I just want to know
the man in front of them
to read their minds
for me to understand

though I get my kicks
it’s slowly wasting me
don’t try to be an artist
I try to be a man

One World One Sky

Still Life

the muffled beat of distant music someone celebrates
it’s hunting season urbanised I wish I could be there
warmth and laughter the right amount of danger
Johnnie Walker wisdom as Cohen used to say

but it’s pouring down with rain
do you remember?
are you alive?
do you still speak of deeds undone?

I used to be immortal I was innocent as a child
my vision was unlimited I saw rivers on the Moon
had important things to say can’t remember what they were
of all the things I did none had been done before

but achievements never last
do you recall?
do you dream?
do you still need company?

I had a friend who knew the language of the future
I’m told he lost his mind they say he went away
navigating empty streets astray among the lost
a shadow in the corner of a stranger’s eye

but there’s nothing left to learn
do you count the years?
do you breathe?
do you still watch the sunrise?

my ambition took me further than I ever dreamt
I don’t even need a mirror anymore
the penthouse pool is full of ice
it should be flowers winter came too soon

but you never liked to swim
do you feel safe?
are you happy?
do you still know my name?

Love the Giver

Twilight in symphony
it’s as well its what you don’t see
So plain you’re impatient now I wait in your eyes
It’s in the way that your love is forgiving…

Ageless your time won’t come
you’re as beautiful as the sun
Tables they turn so slow
you were once now you burn

It’s in the way that love is forsaken…
now you see the profit …
how do you regret?

“Bring your mortar back I want to seal the eyes, the lines, and cracks…tell me I’m not loved…I love the giver of my soul”

It’s in the way that love is forsaken you’ve seen the progress now do you regress?

It’s in the way that your love is forbidden you’ve seen this progress…If I blame, its not my fault…

It’s on the outside.

Everafter

Time and the Maiden

Is it real, can I see you?
Or is it just elusive dreaming?
Far and away are you
Am I here in your breath?

Remnants of where you are I am
Lost and how I wait for you …holding on

After all this time I still carry my heart blind
oh I am killing time with liars … its all this time

It’s in your voice
all we are is nowhere that I am
Lonely and I still wait for you …holding on

After all this time I still carry my heart blind
oh I am killing time with liars …it’s only time
All this time recreating my mind
…eyes open wide
…to all this crime…

After all this time I still carry my heart blind
After all this time I am still blind,
Still Killing time with liars

All this time recreating my mind…all this time

Mercy

Holding open time to rest awhile
I am playing in the darkness of warm July
Tryst between the scenes not happy,
as it seems you play with forgiveness

for wicked schemes

I know years ago
I know now…
You seem like some devil
You play like some god

Clean before the stream to innocence you cling
the beauty in the crime is you don’t feel; a thing

Scars we wore years ago hurt now
You seemed like some devil
And you prayed like you were god

These roses form a ring around your cell
in these ashes
we all fall down
Hold on to the divine we’ll all fall down.

Stars I wished on years ago burnt out

You seemed like some devil
You played like some god

These roses form a ring around our selves in the ashes we all fall down
Hold on to the divine we’ll all fall down.

Everafter

The sun stole your heart and

then left you in the sane world
I do realize I’m often vague
The shore smells the sweetest when all that is left your pale your dry
And I do recognize I’m often vain

Eros stole your words and you weren’t the same
-not scared of time
and I do recognize there is more than fate
the souls never-ending and worth the wait-

It’s safe to fly

I do recognize this old souls face

Everafter… I do believe in Everafter. I do

Majesty

Knew you were born under a waxing moon

Wide eyed and waiting for most the view
Sharper than moonlight
All is one
“Heaven awaits you now..hope you find our door”
Eyes pressed tightly, waltz with stars
The sweeter now must move on
Your words are so beguiling …all is right this
“Heaven and constancy” I hope you learned
Can I hold you in pages adore you your words

they have power over me
I have dreamed of your majesty
The pain of this illusion comforts me
it reminds me of how well I was, the next to leave
earching for a heart as ripe as your smile
I have left you here hope you hide me
Can hold you in pages I adore you these words
they cast this feeling over me
Can I know you in pages enthrall you in words

that have this power over me

Eventide

Run for words I nearly catch fire
radiate slumber in this quest I’m your wire
Running for ways I mouth that I’m scared
radiate wonder this flesh just your fringe

Fear these chains are all I have tonight
so I simply forgive
Rings have made you sigh in the work of my
Waiting for word I nearly catch fire
never quite noticed you quench and I’m you lighter

Fear these chains are all I have tonight
some forgive and some forget rings of pages sigh
In the work of my own life that I

Enter this this halo
Do you deny this kind of love
If you were once Cain or Abel
Then you recite this bolder life
Through this wide open heart
Do you believe this “dying we part”
Do you believe this

Fear these chains are all I wear tonight

some forgive some forget rings of pages signs
in the work of my own life was my gift to you

Fear these chains are all I have tonight
so I simply forgive.
In the work of my own life I give to you

Iolite

Aisle of fire
close to you and desire
I’m half way home

The worst stings in life have left me numb
Please don’t leave this disaster
The hummingbird as my imposter

Aching sighs

To the words and the writing
I’m blind

Ghosts run in my angels eyes
Sing words so soft from my mind
Believe the eyes of iolite

Please don’t believe the way they want you to leave
Blaming arms are better I think left alone

Ghost ride in my angels eyes
steal words so soft from my mind
believe in the eyes of iolite

“Tell you why I won’t cry
Tempted by life
Want this strife I suppose
Tell you know
I was light, Iolite”

Elysium

Paradise where have you gone
I long so to see your shore
I have to wait it makes my eyes sore
Sinking more all the time
Blessed by your request on high

I was lied to
Wrought by learning less from outside
I had a right to bruise
Baited and wily the moon it always opens up for me
I’m lost in this mirror of sorts
a warrior without words.
Growing cold

I’ve traded wine for Elysium

I’ve traded souls stone to gray
I’m half-aware with my mind closed
thinking more all the time

Blessed by my new quest on high
I was lied to
Taught by the Prophets from our skies
I fell in to truth

Baited and wily oh Luna can’t you open up for me

I’m lost in this mirror of sorts a warrior without war
growing cold

Baited and wily
oh luna can’t you shine the way for me
I’m lost in this mirror of souls a warrior without war

I am aching so wildly
oh luna can’t you shine the way
for me I am lost in this mirror of souls I’m without words.

Going home
Paradise where have you gone
I long so, to see your shore.

Bittersweet

Lock of time hidden in my breath
Of things real and things I’ve dreamt

Holding hearts in balance it is like
Maybe we were once intertwined
Raising souls up to the moon as we

Rise again,
Maybe then we will meet
Only tides are racing through your mind
Make a wish and then goodbye
Charlatans in the ruse tonight

Where heat and light touch the sky
And the sun is rising slow there’s more to write
Lock of time written in my heart
Why were we once torn apart
Only tides are racing through your mind and each
time we meet it’s bittersweet

^back to top

Blinking Tears

Once there was time
It lay in front of me
With tendrils and curves of what was yet to be
Afraid of the beast, not in the least

A heart for a brain and lips sweet again
with the taste of life
Slumber through the years
where hurt stings blinking tears

and dark hides my skin from the sun and yet again
Its those who dare to really get in
that feed me with their eyes
Those who dare to really get in
that feed me with their smile

But it’s no, never enough
It could burn like white light but it’s not enough
It can burn like white light, it’s never enough

Now there is time to lay in blame with me
and despite all I write you live well
It seems to me
Those who dare to really get in
they feed me with their eyes
Its those who dare to really get in
that feed me with their smile

But it’s no, never enough

It can burn like fire still its not enough

No it’s not, it’s not enough.
It can burn like fire its never enough

Colder

They left you nothing more to seek from here
So roll the feast in flames unforgettable
Take a bow to the end, reload your remorse
Every line is a thorn bite through your eyes
Still remains the everlasting hope for a bitter war

If it has made you colder turning your life for justice
They have learned to obey
Broken the rules I followed, burning for name so hollow

I will learn to obey

Among the weak and heartless I can breath the air veiled just like them
Still remains the everlasting hope for a bitter war

If it has made you colder turning your life for justice
They have learned to obey

If it has made you colder turning your life for justice
They have learned to obey

Broken the rules I followed, burning for name so hollow
I will learn to obey

If it has made you colder
They have learned to obey
Broken the rules I followed
I will learn to obey

Deep Water

Peace behind your eyes is nothing I admire
Revealed, devoted to something you can´t hide
In to the darkest hour, she cast upon her roam
Haven´t you learned how this went too far
Has it been a sin, the weight on me and than I could steap.
Slow where it sleeps forevermore, buried in frail dreams
Buried in deep water, built in me.

A song for lost desire to make it all come alive
Revealed, devoted to something you can´t hide
Slowly breathing in what they have praise to still
Haven´t you learned how this went too far
The weight on me themo than I could reap.
Slow where it sleeps forevermore, buried in frail dreams
Buried in deep water, built in me.
Where it sleeps forevermore, buried in frail dreams.
She´s on for the everlast scum-desire and the lust will burn her eyes

Free round in heaven and back to hell, where the courage blows the horns.
Slow where it sleeps forevermore, buried in frail dreams
Buried in deep water, built in me.
Where it sleeps forevermore, buried in frail dreams.

Bullet

She can not be tamed, my illusion I can dream again.

Shattered down below, she can take it yet remains the sane.
Come again sweet delight, roam again weep within
Sorrow left me cold, you bring me away from the shame
Saw a flash before the bullet
Met the shadow which I thought could be my own
Once again I trusted in someone else.
Saw a flash before the bullet
Met the shadow which I thought could be my own
Once again I trusted in someone else.

Return my inner fire, rewoken warmth of undivine
So these separated times gave me embrace till we died
Without my tense desire I could not even try
Have I been deranged, it never felt this real.
Saw a flash before the bullet
Met the shadow which I thought could be my own
Once again I trusted in someone else.
Saw a flash before the bullet
Met the shadow which I thought could be my own

Once again I trusted in someone else.
I will not give in to someone inside me
Saw a flash before the bullet
Met the shadow which I thought could be my own
Once again I trusted in someone else.
Saw a flash before the bullet
Met the shadow which I thought could be my own
Once again I trusted in someone else.
Trusted someone else

Trusted someone else
Trusted someone else.

Rain

Dying rose in a vase of gold
For someone who rains
And brings her to life again

Blood on your defeated leaves
And a tear for your arm
No soul to weep for here
Rain above here eyes never reached to make her blind
And the fire colored night
Tragedy by trust, lost her wolrd to the pyre
And the fire wrote these lines
Seized to a world that´s built on lost
The dream has begun

To shate its silent touch
Her loving turned to dust
Frail in my hands, soul twisted out, crawling to the end…
Rain above her eyes never reached to make her blind
And the fire colored night
Tragedy by trust, lost her wolrd to the pyre
And the fire wrote these lines.
Rain above her eyes never reached to make her blind
And the fire colored night

Tragedy by trust, lost her wolrd to the pyre
And the fire wrote these lines.

Air

Unspoken witness neaver reached the eyes of the day
Yet the moon was the one to hear
How she prayed forgiveness for each shattered little word she made to weep

Why these woods still echo, how the whispering tangles on
When the moon was the only one here
How I pray to loose my burden in this place where I love you dead
And you are the air, the cold beneath this whispering wind, carried within
You are the air, the warmth in sorrow I took in when I could feel the end
The air…the air I breath was a gift from you.

She Hates

Say no more, he´s craving for your heart
Deep where secrets have been kept in ice
And the fire in these hands burns when you must keep it inside now
Pray no more when every path is through
It has got to be faith, it has got to be the end of the race
Cold whispering sounds of breeze
Makes her to forgive
Something we deceived

Frail me slowly gave it up to you
Healed needs blacken every heartless words
and the fire in my soul turns into a liquid as I crawl
Pray no more when every line is through
It has got to be faith, it has got to be the end of the cries
For the sorrow she hates the life
Cold whispering sounds of breeze
Makes her to forgive
Something we deceived

Buried in to your wounds it cries
For the sorrow she hates the life
For the sorrow she hates the life.

Ride On Tears

I can be the one who will lead you through the godless run
I give you all I am, take the sinner down to feed desire

Forever and forever I shall crawl
So it´s insecure that light will shine on you
At least I´ll give you dark delight
Ride on tears ride on hollow fears against the endless carnival of lust
Forever and forever I shall crawl
Ride on tears riede on boulevard that leads you to mourn
Buried in your pride silence reflects all that you disguised
Carrying bliss inside forevermore it haunts the restless ones
Forever and forever I shall crawl

So it´s insecure that light will shine on you
At least I´ll give you dark delight
Ride on tears ride on hollow fears against the endless carnival of lust
Forever and forever I shall crawl
Ride on tears riede on boulevard that leads you to mourn
Leads you to mourn
Ride on tears ride on hollow fears against the endless carnival of lust
Forever and forever I shall crawl
Ride on tears riede on boulevard that leads you to mourn

Leads you to mourn.

Gray

Frail as ice I shall rise for the repent you’ve been haunting for
Devil’s smile beneath the eyes I caress
Pierced to be nothing but me in the everlasting race of hate
We’re blessed to breath yet I can´t see why me

Wish I’d never be
Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion.
Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion.
Bring me love, bring me hate I can’t use them anyway
Sterilized blood of Christ won’t taste
Shoot me bury me hundred times, what difference does it make
We’re blessed to breath, oh I can’t see why me

Wish I’d never be
Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion.
Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion.
So cold when someone’s near
So cold without our tears yet nothing more to seek
Shoot me bury me hundred times
Shoot me and take me away from oblivion

Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion.
Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion

Rust

Lost inside yet I found what brought me here

Deep where despair has it’s home
Breathless child witht the scars prevent to grow
Sweet denial I caress
Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn
You bring me rain, the rust in veins
Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn
You bring me hate, the state I’m in.
Built these walls to gain secrecy from inside
The bliss engraved to my eyes

Beared this load to find pieces of my soul
Yet sweet denial I caress
And all the mercy drains away tonight
All the mercy drains while I sigh…
Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn
You bring me rain, the rust in veins
Dislike myself, so now I know why this broken thorn
You bring me hate, the state I’m in.
Dislike myself, so now I know

You bring me hate, the state I’m in.

House Of The Silent

Cold rising around the silent house where the love in bloom died with the last harvest
Whispering walls remembrance to hold and the voices they weep no one hears, no one hears.
So is the moon reflecting back your sorrow, surely I’ll follow
Laying beside your bed waiting for the last breath

Can it be done, can it be saved till we apart
Slowly ran water down to fill you
Slowly turns tide for us to weep
For this I was given the silent house and the voices are dead, buried in to my head, buried in to my head
So is the moon reflecting back your sorrow, surely I’ll follow
Laying beside your bed waiting for the last breath
Can it be done, can it be saved till we apart
Slowly ran water down to fill you
Slowly turns tide for us to weep

For this I was given birth
For this I was given name
Slowly ran water down to reap.

Her Voice Resides

Our time is ending, I feel it’s only just begun
And I’m frustrated, I can’t believe you’re not the one
My ears are bleeding, her voice resides inside my head
And now I’m choking, release this noose around my neck!

Will I just fall to pieces?
Or am I all right?
To iron out my creases, you must lacerate me ’til they’re gone

These are my final words to you
I know you’re listening, can you hear me
The time has come to say goodbye
These are my final words, to you

The clock is ticking, my heart is bursting through my chest,
And now I’m crying, the tears are pouring off my face,
The chair is creaking,

Her voice resides inside my head,
And now it’s over,
You put this noose around my neck

Will I just fall to pieces?
Or am I all right?

To iron out my creases, you must lacerate me ’til they’re gone

These are my final words to you
I know you’re listening, can you hear me
The time has come to say goodbye
These are my final words, to you

Heaven, where is my angel?
I need her now, holding me
Heaven, where is my angel?

I need her now, holding me tonight

Now!

Will I just fall to pieces?
Or am I all right?
To iron out my creases, you must lacerate me ’til they’re gone

These are my final words to you
I know you’re listening, can you hear me

The time has come to say goodbye
These are my final words, to you

4 Words

Betrayed one more time,
But somewhere down that line
You’re gonna get what’s coming to you

Look at me now,
Look at me now,
Look at me now!

Pull the knife from my back,
Soon I’m the one that’s on attack,
Can’t wait to return the favour

Look at me now,

Look at me now,
Look at me now!

Too many time I’ve seen it,
Rip a hole into our friendship
This is how it’s been, how it always will be

You think you’re above me (You think you’re above me!)
But now I’m here to end this
Four words to choke upon!

Look at me now!

Look at me now
(Look at me now!!!)
Look at me now

Betrayed one more time,
But somewhere down that line
You’re gonna get what’s coming to you

Look at me now,
Look at me now,
Look at me now!

Pull the knife from my back,
To leave the one inside intact
Can’t wait to return the favour

Too many time I’ve seen it,

Rip a hole into our friendship
This is how it’s been, how it always will be

You think you’re above me (You think you’re above me!)
But now I’m here to end this
Four words to choke upon!

Look! (Look!)
At, me… now!

Tears Don’t Fall

Let’s go!

With blood shot eyes, I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?

There’s always something different going wrong

The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There’s always someone f***ing hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?

Your tears don’t fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don’t fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home

The moments died, I hear no screaming

The visions left inside me are slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?

There’s always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There’s always someone f***ing hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?

Your tears don’t fall, they crash around me

Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don’t fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home

This battered room I’ve seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath I’m choking
Will this ever end I’m hoping
My world is over one more time

Let’s go!

Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?

There’s always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There’s always someone f***ing hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?

Your tears don’t fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don’t fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home

Better!

Your tears don’t fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home

Suffocating Under The Words Of Sorrow (What Can I Do)

The night has started, here we go
I’ve taken everything
This is our time to lose control
What do you want from me?

You line them up we’ll put them down, this is so frustrating

To watch you sleazing all around, yet you keep on smiling

What can I do to make you see? (Look and see!)
What can I do to make you feel, you’re wanted?
What can I do to make you see? (Look and see!)
I’m suffocating under words of sorrow

Her skin reflects behind the blur, I’m intoxicated
Where am I from? Why I am here? You’re so predictable
Her fingers running through my hair, but it’s all just fiction

She steps out form her underwear, so beautiful!

What can I do to make you see? (Look and see!)
What can I do to make you feel, you’re wanted?
What can I do to make you see? (Look and see!)
I’m suffocating under words of sorrow

Go!

There’s bodies lying on the floor, but I keep on staring

My world is over, close the door!

Her skin reflects behind the blur, I’m intoxicated
Where am I from? Why I am here? You’re so predictable
Her fingers running through my hair, I’ve a new addiction
She steps out form her underwear, so beautiful!

What can I do to make you see? (Look and see!)
What can I do to make you feel, you’re wanted?
What can I do to make you see? (Look and see!)

I’m suffocating under words of sorrow
Words of sorrow!

Hit The Floor

I see you walking home alone, your face is alive and bright
But you can’t see how weak you really are ’cause I could end it tonight
It’s the feeling you get when you think that someone behind is watching you

Well I can tell you now, that someone is me and I’m about to make it right

Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought this is how I’d hit the floor
Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought this is how I’d HIT, THE, FLOOR!

I creep up from behind, touch your neck, move down your spine

Take a look and breathe so sharp
Just a matter of time
Don’t scream I ask of you, but then you let one out and now it’s time to go
I come down on you like a ton of brick
All over so it’s time to go

Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought this is how I’d hit the floor

Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought this is how I’d hit the floor
HIT, THE, FLOOR!

Whoa-oah!
Whoa-oah!
Whoa-oah!

Why do you take it all?

Why do I beg for more?
I never thought this is how I’d hit the floor
Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought this is how I’d hit the floor
HIT, THE, FLOOR!

Take this for me, I don’t wanna hurt you
Take this for me, I don’t WANNA HURT YOU!

All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me)

Once more I say goodbye, to you
Things happen but we don’t really know why
If it’s supposed to be like this, why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?

Oh yeah…

Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears, I’m not feeling this situation
Run away try to find a safe place you can hide
It’s the best place to be when you’re feeling like..

Me…(me!)
Yeah…(yeah!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me…(me!)
Yeah…(yeah!)

Just back off before I snap

Once more you tell those lies, to me
Why can’t you just be straight up with honesty?
When you say those things in my ear, why do you always tell me what you wanna hear?

Oh yeah…

Wear your heart on your sleeve, make things hard to believe, I’m not feeling this situation
Run away try to find a safe place you can hide

It’s the best place to be when you’re feeling like..

Me…(me!)
Yeah…(yeah!)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me…(me!)

Just back off before I snap and you’ll see…(see!)

Room 409

Yeah!

I can’t believe what I’ve seen, so scratch my eyes out!
You, were at ease, on your knees, in his apartment!

You said his name, as I came, in your direction!
Now, I can choose, what to do, with both of you

I loved you! (I need you…)
You hurt me! (I loved you…)
I loved you,
You, hurt, me, bad!
GO!

Your words, bury me, of what I used to be

I can’t erase all those things I’ve seen
You heart, smothers me, now it’s hard to breathe
I can’t erase all my memories

I, take a step, to the left, now you see me!
Tears, start to pour, as you crawl, in his apartment!
You, screamed his name, as I came, in your direction!
Fists, start to fly, say goodbye, there’s no excuses!

I loved you! (I need you…)

You hurt me! (I loved you…)
I loved you,
You, hurt, me, bad!

The Poison

Now, is your time to die

We’ve gathered here to say goodbye
No, more, you’ll cry
No reason left for you to fight

Feel, pain, no more
Emotions never felt before
Where, do, we go
We go, she’ll never know

Holding on to you, to keep from falling

Your eyes are closing now
Another chapter’s ending

Hard, times, we always saw
There’s nothing left of you no more
Fear, has, no place, no place
Cover her face

Holding on to you, to keep from falling
Your eyes are closing now

Another chapter’s ending

This is our last goodbye (goodbye!)
This is our time tonight

Holding on to you!

Cover up her face!

Holding on to you… To keep from falling!

Holding on to you, to keep from falling
Your eyes are closing now
Another chapter’s ending

This is our last goodbye (goodbye!)
This is our time tonight (goodbye!)

This is our last goodbye!

10 Years Today

Ten years ago, I got a call that nearly killed me
Repeat yourself, my hands are shaking
When I was told, my friend was gone I felt so guilty
A thousand questions left unanswered

I’ll bleed if you want me to!
I’ll serenade before I do

I’ll bleed if you want me, to!

On and on although you’re gone, candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you’re listening
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go? (ten years today!)

Ten years ago, I stood beside the wood that held you
I must sit down, my legs are shaking
We let you go, with gifts of plectrums for your journey

And melodies to help you on your way

I’ll bleed if you want me to!
I’ll serenade before I do
I’ll bleed if you want me, to!

On and on although you’re gone, candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you’re listening
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go? (ten years today!)

Wh-oh-ah!
Wh-oh-ah!
Wh-oh-ah!

I’ll bleed, if you want me to (I’ll bleed if you want me to!)
I’ll bleed if you want me, to!

On and on although you’re gone, candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you’re listening

How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go? (ten years today!)
Where did you go? (ten years today!)
Where did you go?

How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go? (ten years today!)

Cries In Vain

Lord you know I’ve cried a thousand tears tonight,
But nothing seems to quench the thirst you keep on craving,
But now I need an answer to my prayers and your not there,
So why think you listen? Listen!

Has no one told you!, your cries are all in vain,
And everyone keeps trying to take that all away,
Has no one told you!, Your cries are all in vain,

Your Cries!

Lord, I can’t disguise the look inside my eyes,
The more I try to look away the more I’m staring,
But now I need an answer to my prayers and your not there,
So why think you listen? Listen!

Has no one told you!, Your cries are all in vain,
And everyone keeps trying to take that all away,
Has no one told you!, Your cries are all in vain,

Your cries!

Your cries in vain [x3]

I look away!

[Chorus]

Has nobody told you when you look away
The stories they told you still run through your veins,
Has nobody told you when you look away

The stories they told you still run through your,
Run through your veins!

Spit You Out

I am what I am, so I…
Spit you out!

Do I, cut the ties? or do I, hold on tight?!

Time has come for me to realize
All those things I loved I now despise

But it’s, my life!
(I’m taking back what’s mine!)
It’s, our, time!
(To rise above!)
It’s, my, life!
(I’m taking back what’s mine!)

It’s, our, time!

Your pictures on my wall
With this around me I don’t feel it’s over
I’ve never felt this way before
With you around me I don’t feel it’s over

I am what I am, so I…
Spit you out!
Can you justify how I…

Time has come for me to realize
All those things I loved I now despise

But it’s, my life!
(I’m taking back what’s mine!)
It’s, our, time!
(To rise above!)
It’s, my, life!
(I’m taking back what’s mine!)

It’s, our, time!

Your pictures on my wall
With this around me I don’t feel it’s over
I’ve never felt this way before
With you around me I don’t feel it’s over now!

The end!

I know you’re faking!

You try to get me back!
I know you’re faking it!

The end!

(..feel it’s over..)
(..feel it’s over..)

(Bullet for my Valentine! *crowd cheering*)

(How ya doin’ everyone?! *crowd cheers again*)

But it’s, my life!

The End

Your hair reminds me of a time when were we once were
Your fingernails that marked my back now rot in earth
The sheets we slept in blew away, and now the storm is over
The taste of you inside my mouth remains, but still I’m hearing

There’s no love, everybody’s crying

There’s no truth, everyone’s misguided

And now the end is here!
There’s no more pills to swallow
The bitter taste I feel, won’t lead me to tomorrow

Your scent reminds me of a place we used to go
The kisses placed upon my neck show signs of, no return!
The bed we f***ed in, smells the same, and now the the stench is fading
The taste of you inside my mouth remains but still I’m hearing

There’s no love, everybody’s crying
There’s no truth, everyone’s misguided

And now the end is here!
There’s no more pills, to swallow!
The bitter taste I feel, won’t lead me to, tomorrow!

Cries for anger,
Lies for power

Fighting for nothing, is what you were born for
Cries for anger,
Lies for power
Fighting for nothing, is what you were born for

AHH!

YAAH!

Cries for anger,

Lies for power
Fighting for nothing, is what you were born for
Cries for anger,
Lies for power
Fighting for nothing, is what you were born, for!

The holy war’s
waiting for
The morning sun (3x)
The morning sun of Dune

there’s no tomorrow
the apparation of this land and it’s dream
makes me feel I’ve seen it before
I can taste there’s life
everywhere you can find
in the desert of my life
I see it again and again
And again, again, again, again
dark tales has brought the Djihahd

like whispering echos in the wind
and I’m a million miles from home

Ref.:
Traveler in Time
knowing that there’s no rhyme

The morning sun is near
first light of dawn is here
the morning sun is near again

The Fremen sing that
their kingdom will come
and I’m the leading one
battlefields on our crusade
filled with Sardokaurs
killing machines crying
in raising fear they’re hiding
Where do we go now?
So where is the way?

When I’m a million miles from home

Ref.

The morning sun I feel
all pain and sorrow
the apparation of my words in these days
makes me feel I’ve told them before
all my plans will come true
I’ll controll destiny

in the desert of my life
I’ve seen it again and again
By my dreams I must find a way
to stop the raging war
I’ve to choose now
I will leave
my body and seek
and time will stand still
when I’ve to leave

my body and find
a way back to the world I love
when I’m a million miles from home

Welcome To Dying

Close to insanity
beond the realms I’ve been
at darkest places
I’m crying
“The dragon flies”

Something savage
is yearning for me
I’m waiting afraid for the night

what will be
I’ve lost myself
a few days ago
it’s touching my soul
and a vision of past dreams comes true

Ref.:
Welcome to dying
I don’t let it out

Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
This town must burn now
Welcome to dying
Can’t you see the dragon’s seed bears in me

The one who’s been before
many times I terrorized this town

many times and here I start again
now I’m stronger and so cold
cold as ice
returning is my destiny
now I feel it’s growing up in me
now I feel it’s burning deep in me
I’m not what I was before
could I stop this dream
I’m a stranger to myself

and I cannot control

Ref.:
Welcome to dying
I don’t let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
Can’t you see the dragon’s seed bears in me

Welcome to dying
The dragon’s breath I don’t let it out

I’m a savage
it’s too late for me
the other side’s taking control and I know
there’s one way I can walk alone
or the dragon will fly
and a growing fear’s all that I feel

Ref. (1st)

Welcome to dying (6x)
Can’t you see the dragon’s seed bears in me
Spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away

Lord Of The Rings

There are signs on the ring
which make me feel so down
there’s one to enslave all rings
to find them all in time
and drive them into darkness
forever they’ll be bound

Three for the Kings
of the elves high in light
nine to the mortal
which cry

Ref.:
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow dawn and I walk to the hill

And there’s now way out

Mordor
dark land under Sauron’s spell
threatened a long time
threatened a long time
Seven rings to the gnomes
in their halls made of stone
into the valley
I feel down
One ring for the dark lord’s hand

sitting on his throne
in the land so dark
where I’ve to go

Ref.
Lord of the rings

Goodbye My Friend

Who can tell me who I am
who I am my friend
I’m an Alien so they say
a risk to everyone

NO – Tell me what do they see
NO – Tell me what do they feel
NO – Tell me what do they fear
NO – Tell me what do they see

I’m a dwarf but I know more than you
and I’m the key to a better life
from terror I could escape
but I need your helping hand
so far from home where I’m left alone
Did you hear my crying?
Did you hear my crying?

Ref.:

Goodbye my friend
I found you at the end
I say goodbye to all
Goodbye my friend
thanks for your helping hand
I say goodbye to all my cries
just say goodbye

No returning nevermore

No returning nevermore

And I’ll remember
Communication to you is so strange
you I trust to noone no warmths reach your heart
to you I’m the stranger but you’re strange to me
You destruct all what is unknown to you
We are together now
and don’t you know I’ll come back again

I must go now

Ref.

I will go home now
I will go home now
much too long I’m forced to stay
in visions I see
so dark and so deep
mankind will destruct all life

See you again I hope I will
see you again at the end?
My tortured soul cannot forget the pain
now I find my way back
I will go home now
I will go home now

Lost In The Twilight Hall

Awaiting my last breath
The mirror calls my name
it’s showing me the way
into the dark
the bridge appears
I jump into the dark side

and hear the voice it’s cold as ice
“Welcome to reality”

Where am I now?
Darkness surrounds
can’t go forward
can’t go back

I see planets dying

I fall into the light
a new universe awakes
I’m a Traveler in Time
pray for the light
Where’s the key
to the gate
of a new life – no
I search for deliverance
but I cannot find

Ref.:
Look behind the mirror
I’m lost in the twilight hall
once I’ll be back for a moment in time
that’s when the mirror’s falling down

Take me away
from the place I’ve been

to another life
in another world
a sign of life
surrounds me now
the bridge appears in the dark
I’m free
I fly alone
leaving the darkness now, forever?
the memories of children

and the wisdom of many lifes
burns deep in me
Where will the light go to?
Where will the light go to?
Is this deliverance?
Is it the end?

Ref.

I’m back there’s a new chance for me
and all my memories are gone
I can feel what’s happening to me
and the mirror will burst

Tommyknockers

She’s opening here eyes
to find the thing
by a touch she’s lost
it’s waiting for her a long time
the kingdom’s lost
cause there’s one nail missing
playing with fire
turn of the light

and she’ll fall down
playing with her life
but she can’t leave it
there’s one rhyme in her brain

Ref.:
Oh, last night and the night before
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers
knocked at your back door

Tommyknockers

The pain in my head
the cycle awakes
I’m on my way to Oz
I want to drink and she wants to dig
she’s in trouble oh I know
there’s something going wrong
Tommyknockers on their way

What’s up in “Leighton Street”?

Ref.

I’m the hero, I’m back
with weapons and with magic spells
I’ll seddle every task
an old, ill and drunken guy
The moon is full of blood

I’ve found her not, not far from home
I should better get away from here
she’s on her way to be another one
playing with fire
she can read my thoughts
it’s too late
playing with her life
Tommyknockers brought her trouble

(Solo)

The ship in the earth I touch
a vibration is filling me
and music in my head
nose is bleeding
and my fall down
filled me up with pain
you’ll be like a Tommyknocker

I’ll be like you
but there’s something going wrong
I read it in your face

Altair 4

At Hilly’s show
they didn’t know
that the Ending of “Being” is near
I can feel their voices

the old man cries
“Please save the boy
he’s caught in a world far behind
from home”
Monster Anne is crying out
“Feel my pain I can’t escape”
Bad chances for me

Chosen by their whispering words
What is left behind?
When purple colours turn to black

The Last Candle

Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind (4x)
Have you forgotten him

Far from the land

Where the sun is born
down in the wood “Caledon”
Do you know the place
where the light is never seen
and all the hopes are turned
by the final cry
Turned to stone (4x)

Whispering tunes in the wind

Our hopes are gone with the night
when the old man will never come back
remember his words and his songs
And we see the raven’s flying in the distance
But no wizard’s singing his song

Ref.:
Somebodies out in the night
I fly in time

The last candle will burn
there’s hope for everyone
when the last candle burns high
oh it’s time for life

The elves and gnomes have to hide
when the moon is showing it’s face
and raging orcs will set their traps
and the forest will burn

they hate green trees
and love the dark
they don’t understand
that they’re caught and left alone
they feel the magic in the wind
they’re just fear the old man’s song

(Solo)

Ref.

Corrupted old gnome
betrayer of all
you know so much about all
what is your price
“Too much, too much
you cannot pay with your silver and your gold
there’s just a little chance to save the wizard’s life

there’s just a little chance for all you fools
now pay”

And so I walk across the land
and hope to hear the wizard’s song

Ref. (3x)

Somebody’s out there

I feel there’s somebody
Somebodies out there
I feel there’s somebody

Time What Is Time

When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth

The things she remembered
Had never been her own
Replicant or human

I know the way to show
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It’s your last step

Ref.:
Time what is time
I wish I knew how to tell You why

It hurts to know
Aren’t we machines
Time what is time
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again

Whispering
These dreams were never mine

It’s cold inside
It’s gone forever
The things he saw
Who can say what’s wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what
He’s asking
The vision, vision, vision

I know it’s all a lie
I’ll remember his past life
And I’ll remember time

What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired

Ref.:

Time what is time
Come lock the door don’t let me in
I am the one Your destiny
Time what is time
Reality – It hurts me so
When time is time again

Look into my eyes

Feel the fear just for a while
I’m a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now
Only these years
I’ll leave but I’m singing

Ref.:
Time what is time
He saw it clearly it’s too late

It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time
We’ll never know
So don’t take care
Then time is time again

Should I forget
The way I feel
God he knows how long I tried

Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life
In fortune dreams forever

Journey Through The Dark

Many songs I’ve written
About the things I saw

My inner soul’s a wasteland
I can’t run away from here
Try to find them
All the lost thoughts in my ind
I woke up on a hill
So many times before
Yesterday seems like a dream no more
Frozen memories laughing
They don’t let me find the truth

Am I born to be a king
Or a jester of the fools

Ref.:
You’re the mystical old bard
on your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

I can’t remember my name

I never knew how to find my home
I can’t remember my name
come tell me where will it end
I’m the chosen one
To perform all these things
But not for me
In illusions and reality
I’m on my journey through the dark
I’m on my journey through the dark

Ref.

(Solo)

I can’t remember
Will I ever find myself
The distance is growing
My hope has gone away
A flash of light but nothing changes

When will it end
Which part of me remains

Soon I’ll be back
On my ferryboat of tales
Where oblivion reigns
It will take all of me

Ref.

Black chamber

I am lost in the black chamber
There’s no way to turn back
It takes me down forevermore
And death would be so sweet
I’m possessed by the old creature
Who had planned all

To take my soul
Too late for me

In my hands
It liest I thought
But I failed
Now he’s in me

My soul is lost
In his black chamber

I’m gone

Theatre Of Pain

The giant’s lost
And all round him
Destructed for what
They all knew what it meant

But they couldn’t change it
Lord they had gone too far
Leave them alone

It’s all gone
What is left behind
On a desert we called earth
When the last whale went away
Did they ever see the tears

Don’t fear Your last step
From the theatre of pain
And the children will love Your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
Now we’ve to leave it

The sea was clear
On the day I was stranded

Answers I’d known
To keep this all alive
But I can’t change it
Forever

(Solo)

Now I’m gone
And it seems that life had never existed
So we left the dark and cold

All I left behind are my tears

Don’t fear Your last step
From the theatre of pain
And the children will love Your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
I hear them calling

The Quest For Tanelorn

By the ruins he stands
And he’s waiting for me
To enter Tanelorn
His paths seems strange
But they’re always planned
Seldom he succeeds
About his own fate

He tries to conquer it
Again and again
But at last he’s almost
A ruined man
Not a king or God
Who’s searching for
A place called Tanelorn
Far beyond your dreams

Ref.:
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn

He’s waiting
He’s waiting for me
He’s waiting
He’s waiting for me

[Spiritus sanctus - vita aeterna]

Darkness falling down on me
Darkness – The eternal battle rises

I know the answers
Although they don’t exist
I’m just a mortal illusion

Ref.

(Solo)

So I’m his companion
Through space and through time
His eternal servant
He’s calling me
So I must leave
To any life
To another world

Far beyond Your dreams

To know the truth
Just for a while
He’s longing for a place
Where he can find himself
Deliverance
It could be everywhere
How can he find

He’s waiting for me
And for Your Tanelorn

Ref.:
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn

We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We’re left alone

Ashes To Ashes

Taste the poison
Feel that this is life

Hallowed be the game
Of life and innocence
God’s waiting for him
Join us at the road to fate
There are no two paths
Feel the pain
Which steps into his life

Agony

He’ll be crucified
Death awaits
Knocking at his door
Agony
Leave him
The clock will strike the end
Hell or heaven
Reflect and fade away

Ref.:
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn’t here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
the life clock strikes and You obey

A light shows the right way

Morning is whispering in my head
Too late to say goodbye
Too late
The last breath’s done
Deliverance at all
he’s born to find this end
I am the one

The one who’s calling
Obey my call to the cemetary
And don’t be afraid
To step into the dark
Be sure that my voice
will take You home

Ref.:
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn’t here to stay

(Solo)

No hope he’d waited so long
This can’t be God’s will

He surrendered long ago
There was no real chance

Ashes to ashes and dust will be dust
Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again

The clock had struck the end
Up to heaven
Reflexions fade away

Ref. (1st)

Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game

The Bard’s Song – In The Forest

Now You all know

The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I’ll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let’s sing the bards’ song

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards’ songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There’s only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it’s time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one

Who tells the story

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards’ songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You’re not alone

So don’t be afraid
In the dark and cold
‘Cause the bards’ songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They’re always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves

Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too

The Bard’s Song – The Hobbit

Out in the distance
There’s so much gold
The treasure that I’ve found

Is more than enough
Far to be the hill we’ve to go
Over the mountain and seas
To the old hill
Where the old dragon sleeps
Blind in the dark dungeon’s night
So God please take me away from here
And Gollum shows the way right out

(Solo)

I’m alive

The dying dragon brought trouble and pain
And horror to the halls of stone
I’ll take the mighty stone
And leave the dwarves behind
Ice and fire and forest we passed
And horror in the halls of stone

Trolls in the dark
The dawn took them all
Caught in the wood
By the wooden kings’ men
But now I’m alone
‘Cause I’ve made up my mind
By the spell of gold

The king under the mountain

Will risk the great war
Oh what a fool
He’s losing control
So I am trying to find a way
Blind in the dark dungeon’s night
Then darkness comes from the northern side
And Thorin clears his mind

Somewhere Far Beyond

I came from far
Beyond Your reality
The ocean of time
It’s the odysee of mine
I am the narrator
And now I’ll tell You
Where I’ve been

And what I saw
And how it ends

Welcome to the wasteland
In a world which is turning faster
Where I’m alone for a while
It’s turning faster
Away from light straight to the dark
The march of time it has begun

I’m caught in an ancient dream so bright
And then the march of time begins

The man in black he waits
Behind this last task
It’s full of pain
To sacrifice the only son
The legions of the lost
Wait in the old mine

They try to stop me
The battle it has begun

So I’m not afraid
To walk down to the wasteland
I’m so alone on my way
And I don’t fear that dusty godforsaken path
Somewhere far beyond

Ref.:

Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
Somewhere far beyond your reality
And then the march of time begins

Look at my soul
And behind
There are some things
I’ve to hide from You

I’m following the black man
I’m losing control
And I don’t care
What’s happening to the boy

Welcome to the new world
One more step to the dark tower
And my whole body’s in flames
I’m looking for Those healing things to be prepared

The march of time it has begun
I’m caught in a prisoner’s dirty life
And then the march of time begins

The prisoner did bring the healing spell
The queen of shadows found herself in pain
And death brings answers to us all

What will I find
When the dark tower appears

Will it be the end
Or just a new quest after all
I am the narrator
And now I’ll tell You
Where I’d been
And what I saw
And how it ends

(Solo)

Ref. (2x)

Look around and see
The world is turning fast
Faster day by day
Somewhere far beyond
I’ll try to change it
If I can – Somewhere far beyond
There’s only one chance

And it lies- Somewhere far beyond
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
The march of time it has begun

Spread Your Wings (by Queen)

Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time
He’d made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind
His boss said to him
“Boy you’d better begin,
To get those crazy notions right out of your head

Sammy who do you think you that you are?
You should’ve been sweeping up the Emerald Bar”

Ref.:
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Pull yourself together

‘Cos you know you should do better
That’s because your a free man

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
Keeping his thoughts to himself, he’d be leaving soon
Wishing he was miles and miles away
Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay
Since he was small
Had no luck at all

Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He’d made up his mind
“This could be my last chance”

His boss said to him, “Now listen boy!
You’re always dreaming
You’ve got no real ambition, you won’t get very far
Sammy boy, don’t you know who you are?

Why can’t you be happy at the Emerald Bar?”

So honey,

The enemy is within, everywhere
And with him the light, soon they will be here
Go now, my lord, while there is time

Nightfall

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
“All hope’s lost it can’t be undone
They’re wasted and gone”

“Save me your speeches

I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore”

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
“(We’re) lost in the deep shades

The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown”
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

chorus:
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

“How long shall we

Mourn in the dark
the bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be”
But even in silence I heard the words
“An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world’s end

It can’t be broken”

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
“I swear revenge”
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts

Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge

chorus

“Vala he is that’s what you said
Then your oath’s been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds

Never turn your back on friends”

“Oh I’m heir of the high lord!”
“You better don’t trust him”
The enemy of mine
Isn’t he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said

The Curse of Fëanor

Taken the long way
Dark realms I went through

I arrived
My vision’s so clear
In anger and pain
I left deep wounds behind
But I arrived
Truth might be changed by victory

Beyond the void but deep within me
A swamp of filth exists

A lake it was of crystal beauty
But Arda’s spring went by
I’ve heard the warning
Well curse my name
I’ll keep on laughing
No regret
No regret

chorus (1):

Don’t fear the eyes of the dark lord
Morgoth I cried
All hope is gone but I swear revenge
Hear my oath
I will take part in your damned fate

I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow which covers the light
I will always remember the time

But it’s past
I cannot turn back the time
(I) don’t look back
There’s still smoke near the shore
But I arrived
Revenge be mine

chorus (2):
I will take part in your damned fate

Morgoth I cried
It’s my oath
So don’t fear the eyes
Of the dark lord

Soon you will be free
Set your spirit free
“Suddenly I realized
The prophecies

I’ve never believed in
My deeds were wrong
I’ve stained the land
And slain my kin
(Burning Soul)
There’s no release from my sins
It hurts
THE CURSE OF FËANOR RUNS LONG
Time and only time will tell us

Tell: was I right or wrong?
When anger breaks through
I’ll leave mercy behind”

chorus (2)

I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow they’ll cover my life
But I’ll also remember mine
(And) after all I’m still alive

Blood Tears

Welcome to my realm
We are both condemned to live
It’s a dark fate
(I can hear your calls
I can hear your calls)
THE ETERNAL LIFE

I see it still burns
Each night I cry in pain

Alive
Though the end appears my friend

chorus:
And blood tears I cry
You’ve searched and you’ve found
Cut off your old friends hand

My mind’s

In frozen dreams
The rotten flesh
Of bitter lies
Welcome to where time stands still
Noone leaves and noone ever will

Can’t hold it
It burns
Each night I cry in pain

chorus:
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside

It seems so clearly
Bent the bow
Cause life in me is gone

And a cruel wind’s blowing cold
And a cruel wind’s blowing cold
In blame

And life it shall wane
Each night I cry in pain

chorus:
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside

Cut off your old friends hand

Mirror Mirror

Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain

It lies unknown
The land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall
The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I’ve seen the end of all

Be aware the storm gets closer

chorus (1):
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You’re a damned kind can’t you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast

You’re a damned kind can’t you see
That tomorrows bears insanity

Gone’s the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe

Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We’re lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames

Alone
How shall we leave the lost road
Time’s getting short so follow me
A leader’s task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

chorus (2):
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast

You’re a damned kind can’t you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You’re a damned kind can’t you see
That the winds will change

Even though
The storm calmed down

The bitter end
Is just a matter of time

Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he’s poisoning our hearts
Our hearts

How shall we leave the lost road
Time’s getting short so follow me
A leader’s task so clearly

To find a path out of the dark

Face the Truth

narrator:
The moon, the sign of hope
It appeared when we left the pain of the ice-desert behind

We faced up to the curse and endured misery
Condemned we are
We brought hope, but also lies, and treachery

Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns)

Noldor
Blood is on your hands

Your bane’s
A tearful destiny

Black clouds will carry
Rain of blood
I’ve seen it rain

We were lost
On grinding ice
In fear and hunger

Dead winter reigned
In Araman

prebridge:
(You) can’t escape
From my damnation
(Nor) run away
From isolation

bridge:

Guilty spoke the one
THis deed can’t be undone
Hear my words
Fear my curse

chorus:
I know where the stars glow
(And the) sky’s unclouded
Sweet the water runs my friend

(But) Noldor
Blood is on your hands
Tears unnumbered
You will shet and dwell in pain

Your homeless souls
Shall come to me
There’s no release
Slain you might be

Slain you will be
Slain you will be
And the lost
Who will not reach the
House of spirits
(Will) grow old and weary

prebridge

bridge

chorus

I’ve seen this bitter end
As I’ve foreseen
The storm and ice
And I could see it
(How) a million died
And I?
The blame’s on me

Cause I was not there

prebridge

bridge

chorus

Dead winter reigns
And tomorrow’s still unknown
Lies

Condemned and betrayed
Now everything is said
See my eyes
Are full of tears
And a cruel price
We’ve paid
But still I can’t claim
That I’m innocent

Lost

Battle of Sudden Flame

Oh lord here I stand
Suddely everything’s gone

From now on my life

Just lead my fate

Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)

Light fails at dawn

The moon is gone
And deadly the night reigns

Deceit

Finally I’ve found myself
In these lands
Horror and madness I’ve seen here
For what I became a king of the lost?
Barren and lifeless the land lies

bridge:
Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord

chorus (repeat 2x):
The Fate of us all

Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

I stand alone
Noone’s by my side
I’ll dare you
Come out
You coward
Now it’s me or you

He gleams like a star
And the sound of his horn’s
Like a raging storm
Proudly the high lord
Challenges the doom
Lord of slaves he cries

Slowly in fear
The dark lord appears

Welcome to my lands
You shall be damned

bridge

chorus

The iron crowned
Is getting closer
Swings his hammer

Down on him
Like a thunderstorm
He’s crushing
Down the Noldor’s
Proudest king

Under my foot
So hopeless it seems
You’ve troubled my day

Now feel the pain

bridge

chorus

The Elvenking’s broken
He stumbles and falls
The most proud and most valiant
His spirit survives

Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king

The Dark Elf

A dark seed of evil is grown

Thorn

A black swan
Is born that night
The misty pond
(Has) got a new king
Got a new king

So what can we do
With our lives
When it all begins
It’s hard and
It’s cruel
Will grace die in pain?
Will light ever rise again?

I’m trapped in darkness

Still I reach out for the stars
I’m moving in silence
I leave it all far behind

chorus:
Oh at dawn
I’ll face the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I’ll pray at the edge of thorns

Oh at dawn
I’ll face the edge of thorns

Let us march on
To the fields of sacrifice
(I’m) wondering why
I’ll carry on
Will I betray myself
To rise

In the silence
It’s time to explain
(And)
Search for truth in lies
Useful lies
Needless love’s damned

What can we do with our lives
When it all begins

chorus

Come follow me
And you will see
How it will be
When all the pain is gone away

chorus

Let us march on

Though there’s no hope at our side
Let us be brave
Though by glory we are denied
But
Don’t you think
It’s time for us
To bring to an end
Come play the song of death
The wisdom in us both

Will make it
Special guaranteed
Play the song of death

I’m lost in the depths of his eyes
I can’t flee
Inner pain caused insanity
It’s deep within
The fear and the hunger

Enslaved and denied
By my love and my enemies
I’m the illgotten son

The Eldar

I’ve seen the moon

And the first sunrise
I’ll leave it to the memories
And kiss the wind goodbye

chorus:
For the Eldar
I’m trapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar’s
Song of doom

I’ve tasted poison
When I drank the wine of fate
But the fear was in my heart
I realized too late
The house of spirits call

chorus:
For the Eldar
I’m trapped inside this dream

Of the Eldar’s
Song of the doom

High’s the fee
Soon my spirit will return
Welcome dawn
Your light will take me home

I say farewell

chorus:
To the Eldar
I’m trapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar’s
Song of doom

Nom the Wise

narrator (Beren?):
Thus he died

When Sorrow Sang

So let me out of it
Out of the cold
To bring back light and hope for all

And so if I could get you in
Just for a little while

Into the songs of sorrow
You might understand

Where am I now
Beyond the dawn
(Where) hope’s turned to dust
At all

Immortal love’s
Fooled by the hands of doom

That love means death
I realized too soon

chorus:
Caught in the afterlife
I’ve gone too far
When sorrow sang softly and sweet
The air was filled with tears
Full of sadness and grief

When sorrow sang softly and sweet

I feel like screaming
But I can’t breath in
Shall I wane right now
I will not leave this
World of living
Till she has said
Goodbye

Out in the cold
I still wait for her call
And her last kiss
It shall be release
I can’t forget her
Her face will not leave
From the depths of my soul
I long for her

So I heard all about it
Her voice’s so clear
She’s woven both themes in there
Moved me to tears
The world shall hear this sad song
Song of sorrow song of grief
Can’t change the way of his kind
Can’t change the way of her kind

A Dark Passage

I feel cold
Facing the darkness
The light’s gone away

Deep in his castle he said
All land’ll be mine
There’s one thing for sure
The triumph of shadow is near
Deep in his castle they sang
We shall not rest
Until all will be thyne

All land is mine

You can be sure
Don’t dare me
the mighty one screamed

chorus:
Smashed down the light
I will not rest till I’m king
Valinor’s empty now
allied the elves and men

they shall be damned

Rise of Fall
a dark tale ends

just wondering how
in the darkness
they found their way
to the right place
children of the sun

second kindred
we call their race
treat them kindly
born in the east
(are the) nightfearer
they moved westwards
towards the sunshine
(they are) morning breath like
short’s their life

(like) dawn passes by
when the day comes
the field was lost
(and) hope had passed away
the sun went down
beyond the sea
dark was the hour
but day shall come again

chorus

Clean my wounds
wash away all fear
let courage be mine
noone hears me crying

no song no tale
which contains all the grief
(but)

renowned the deeds
and the victims of defeat

sit down on your chair
and look out for your kin
with my eyes you’ll see
and with my ears you’ll hear
you troubled my day
and you’ve questioned my strength

(but) don’t mess
with the master of fate

chorus

I smashed down the light
and dared Valinor
I smashed down the light
revenge will be mine

Slowly marching on
still we’re marching on

Final Chapter (Thus Ends…)

narrator:
Thus ends the fifth battle
By the treachery of men the field is lost

The night falls and great is the triumph of evil
The league is broken
The last vestige of hope lives in the hidden king
Only he troubles the dark one’s mind
Only he could bring ruin to the black foe
Though the land lies down in agony and the curse lives on
A new star shall arise
And a new day shall come, again
