(a Sleep) in a Watery red

Night's fallen, flesh's calling
spilling in the flood some
tears of blood and agony
There on the beach lying
wasting and staining the sands
of time indifferently

Stranded on the shores of life
The fish's kiss - it still remains unanswered

[ Chorus ]
Bathing in silence, yearning to swim
On a calm and quiet ocean
Urging to sin or to breathe with no motion
While hearing the sound of sweet violence

Torch-bearer's burned wings
firing all the arrows in a broken fantasy
Star's fallen, sand-crawling
Dropping just like jetsam from
a lonely ship at sea

Stranded on the shores of life
The fish's kiss - it still remains unanswered

[ Chorus ]

Until the day's end's
a bitter wet bed seeking a soft
place for a rest of my head
Tender the arms which embrace the brave
I am fallen asleep in a watery red.

[ Chorus ]

Blink of an eye

So please come in my friend, I welcome you
To the world within my dreams
Amidst this place I lie and pray for all
That your eyes could never see

And in this place I hide
As my world for fire turns
And keep the flame alive
Which for all my visions burns

[ Chorus ]
At day - The way's seen
beyond a velvet sky
At night, so bright - far and
wide a star goes by

I close the door my friend so you can see
What this world is all about
I see the stars from deep within my sleep
And no way to help me out

And still they shine for me
And slowly turn to ice
Still keep the flame in me
The light behind my eyes

[ Chorus ]

So here your visit ends
I held them in my hands - believe me
For the blink of an eye

[ Chorus ]

A Winter's Dream

Life freezes over when
silence reigns the night
And darkness fills the day
Flying...my sun is your moon
As brushed black hair is walking
through snow-white fields
Behold thy life in me
Did He who made the Lamb make thee?

Winds breathing colder and
eyes all full of fright
Frigidity's astray
Hunting...my night is your day
While snow-white hair is flying
Through dark black woods
Behold my life in thee
Did He smile His work to see?

[ Chorus ]
Icy I see I see me
In you am I
Eye see eyes
I see flies
Around thighs around me
Icy tie's
Around me around you

And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Through the iron gates of life
And your quaint honour turn to dust
And into ashes all my lust
The grave's a fine and private place
But none, I think, do there embrace

[ Chorus ]

Blake's "The
Tyger" and Andrew

Mistress" ]

Isle of Smile

I knew one day the time would come
Returning to the place I've been so long
An island here, no boat on shore
To take me far away to unlocked doors

Alone I'll be, just darkness see
And endlessly the surge's song I'll hear
The winds will call, the night will fall
The sound of bell's toll's what I fear

Smiling in the sea
A face - is it me
When I look into the water
My mirror, mirror be
A face - is it me
When I look into and see
Is it me all around here?

Inside here stands the watered me
the tower's tortured toll rings at my ear
The windows' tears, the eyes are clear
outside appears the drowning sea

Smiling in the sea
A face - is it me
When I look into the water
My mirror, mirror be
A face - is it me
When I look into and see
That it's me all around here

Bloody Shimmering Bloom

Dawn - the opposite horizon's
Red - a bloody shimmering bloom

Far beyond this sky's
Flickering a light

[ Chorus ]
So I told the warning
It's a fading light in the shining
Darkness calls the dawning
As I'm longing forth to the endless

Blue - those eyes return to haunt me
Dreams - remembering the past

Far beyond these eyes
Somewhere dies a light

[ Chorus ]

The Oasis

While the Sea of Sand's getting larger - in every Step you take
You'll find yourself attracted by the Glimpse of Fury deep inside
In every Moment, to every Direction - the perfect Angle sends his Light
For the mercyless Judgement to be ratified

[ Chorus ]
Dreams and Visions of Trees in the Wideness pass my Mind
Like a Storm of Desire in the fires gratified
Feel the Breeze on your Skin - to release from Sin
See before your Eyes the Oasis arise

The febrile Impressions are sent from the Past
Showing Cities of Sand filled by ancient Hordes in the Names of Their's
Time goes by and the Sea takes it's Children - back home to the Pale
No Signs left for the Future - impenetrable Trail

[ Chorus ]

With the Dawn getting closer the Lights fall - the Silence's last Shout
Goes out into the Wide where the Night comes - one
last prance of Fright Future plans with no Chance of
Fulfilment - discarding a Life
while this Sea shows no Mercy the Hordes arrive

Ancient Riders of Sand in the Wideness pass my Eye
Closing in on the Trail of all wishes and Desires
See them ride like the Wind - to fulfill your Please
They're taking you home to the Pale of the Seas

Daybreak

As the sky's a flame, he stood high upon that hill
Only him to blame, on his limbs this frozen chill
That calls on him, the glow's beyond these mountainsides
And creeps his skin, he prays for sun, he prays for light

Now he fears so deep the second coming of a day
Just to fall asleep, his skin still covered by the haze
That veils his eyes, and in the crimson light of dawn
His life's demise - a stillborn child there in his arms

[ Chorus ]
This son of mine - Take me
Broken his eyes - Break me
A life for a life - Freeze my heart beneath this new horizon...

As the sight grew clear, a sparrow glides from far above
For to touch so dear, oh, this tiny child, my love
A lifeblood's leave, as the beam caresses its wings
It sings the tune, calling lost life from deep within

[ Chorus ]

Taking this side for to give him some time - breaks a day
Changing a light is a barter of time - seals the way

[ Chorus ]

At the Frozen Lake of Bliss

Vulnerable sighs and a virgin skin
A feast for the ice, she is so worth a sin
Sweet and fresh - I smell her blood and flesh
Soft as silk and white as mother's milk

[ Chorus ]
I will reveal what no light shows
With a knife in my hand I draw near
Unmasking the face
when the night flows so, my dear,
this is your inner self

What is seen in water's truth icy life
No more to prove for sorrow's wife
and do her soothe at the frozen
lake of bliss

Carefully I peel and then rip apart
Which cloaks you unreal and covers your heart
Tempting snake - I see through all your fake
face and grace the bliss of icy lakes

[ Chorus ]

Deliver us from Evil

[ Warlord cover ]

Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today

Deliver us from all the wicked
Deliver us from the woe
Free, these chains of hell
and now's the time to strike the final blow

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today

Deliver us from ill minded rulers
Deliver us from all their talk
See all the evil and the greed
These people that seek what they've lost

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today

Prepare for the final awakening
Prepare for the time it has come
Look to the heavens! a crack in the sky
The ending of time has begun
. . . and now all that you have is gone . . .

Deliver us from all the hatred
Deliver us from all the sin
and we who believe will eternally sing
these words in which we call the battle hymn!

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today
Deliver us from Evil . . . we pray!

Dragon Tears (Part II)

Now as we're flying across the sky
Despair's dying as noone lies, winds let us go
Storm, through we're chasing with mighty wings
Deep salvation I feel within
I never did know
That all gold of the earth lies on a dragon's back
A power that I can't deny

So watch us as we fly on, ride to the horizon
Freedom and eternity
Far away up high, the mortal world aside
Believe me just what you can't see

Clouds, endless blue of eternity
Can't believe this but I can see
Overwhelmed by this power

Wish I could do this all again
But my time is slipping away
There breaks my last hout

Whoever would have thought that I
could see this all again
So grateful I had never been

Now you can kill me, I am prepared
Saw what I wanted, thankful I am

My sword remains dry now, I did understand
You showed me riches I can't hold in my hand
And tell me the man who can call a dragon a friend

So let us fly to the sky once again
Let us chase through the clouds across the land
And noone hears a lie until we have to die

Let us rise again into the air
This was the last chance to cure all despair
The salvation for me in all ways
It's only an emotion away, let us fly

We fly again
