Black Coffin
05:36

I’m pulling the weight of time
The rope scarves my skin
A coffin filled with mine
My deepest fears within
A black worn wooden box
My scourge, my grudge, my fall
Stuck between cold rocks
I creep towards rugged walls
I cross mountains scratching the sky
The coffin’s weight I seem to die
My feet turn black the cold within
So hard to breathe the air is thin
Dead forests on the other side
A bold slope beneath the clouds
Regret, hate, sorrow inside
My buried feels I scream out loud
As the rain begins to fall
The coffin pulls me down the slope
My blood feeds the rope and soil
The world turns black the end of hope
Hard awakening shivering limbs
My whole body distorted with pain
I move on towards the deep
The path ends I cry in vain
I push the coffin into the sea
I hope to drown the burden in me
I raise my head fall on my knees
Hope arising to be set free
As I knee on the bleak grey coast
The coffin’s rope embraces my bones
My buried feels all I fear most
We sink down as fast as stones
End of light end of mine
My lungs filled with water of fright
I close my eyes for the last time
The coffin opens and pulls me inside

The Secret
07:30

Between the oaks a lovely girl
Dancing on the moss covered ground
Dancing ‘round
Why she’s here she doesn’t know
She followed whispering sounds
She could hear
No fear
A melody held her tight
Pulled her to a hidden site
Of the forest where
The oaks the evil stroke
The threat is near
Sensation of fear comes over her
Wind of stir
She feels the glances in her back
Pale light turns to black
Where the oaks a secret keep
Darker than the ocean’s deep
She takes her last breath
Where the oaks a secret keep
Darker than a dead man’s sleep
She closes her eyes
Calm demise
The ghost of trees cold as ice
Demand her as their sacrifice
Her feet detained by their roots
First heard whisper now is mute
Blood soaked soil opens up
The smell of mold coming up
Her soul so strong all fear is gone
Embraced by branches caught by roots
The ghosts of trees try to resume
They pull her body down the hole
Try take her golden soul
Her purity they cannot face
Her soul enlightens the darkest place
She leaves her hull and spreads her wings
Where the oaks a secret keep
Darker than the ocean’s deep
She takes her last breath
Where the oaks a secret keep
Darker than a dead man’s sleep
She flies up to the sky

Broken Mirror
05:31
|
|||
|
Pushing and pulling our problems
Forward and back
No time to listen
No time to regret
Focused on solutions we got lost
In the void
The more we tried
The more we destroyed
Sorrow turned to hate
Trust became bad faith
We drowned in our fear
We drowned in endless haze
Wounds in our heart and souls
Became deep scars
Avoid each other
Avoid to see the stars
And so we meet at the funeral
Of our lost love
No tears will fall
No rain from above
Avoid to look in each other’s eyes
No words of regards
Just hate and despite
The warmth of love turned to deadly cold
Our end so cruel
Our end was foretold
The mirror is broken your face falls apart
No way further
No way back to the start

The Dark He Invoked
08:26
|
|||
|
Caught on his throne
In a hall of dark
A king so lone
Tears are his mark
The dust on his crown
Sand of lost times
His scepter fell down
He waits for a sign
Thousands had died
Under his reign
For his greed and pride
No mercy just pain
A land drowned in blood
Life passed away
Fields turned to mud
But he had to stay
Please let me go
A life full of pain
I cannot remain
Please let me go
My bones pine for peace
I pray for release
And he whispers
The dark he invoked
Became too strong
He never was told
That he was wrong
The death took his wife
His sun and his soul
His gift endless life
Gold turned to coal

The Moon's Curse
07:41
|
|||
|
Haunted by memories
Chased by a dream
I walk through the forest
Feel desire in me
I search for the place
Of love and disgrace
I hear the owl’s scream
And pass the black stream
I live for the night
When the sun lost the fight
When moon is on throne
I’ll find her headstone
Remembrance of days
Full of light and rays
Drowns in the dark
Black veil of heart
I wait for the time
When she will be mine
When the shine of the moon
Disrupts the gloom
Just this one day
Every night I pray
To see her again
I became an old man
My love is a ghost
Black rose in the grove
Our love so unreal
Such a beautiful feel
Curse of the moon
Her farewell so soon
We dance on her grave
I got to be brave
Curse of the moon
Her farewell so soon
Night starts to fall
She follows the call
Curse of the moon
Her farewell so soon
I dance on my own
Again I am lone

Never Behind
06:47
|

The end of the trail so near
Despite pain you move on without fear
Through the thicket of grey dead wood
You won’t stop although
You know you should
Thorns claw your skin
But real hurt lives within
Scars carved in your soul
You’ve seen places darker than coal
You know to follow the shine of dead worlds
Find a way through all the disturbed
Able to see in the dark
Soon you’ll be far apart
Still I try to deny
Prefer to live with a lie
Knowing your farewell will come
Pulling me down
Like the weight of a thousand tons
When shadows enlighten the dark
Remember the sun and the stars
When the black of space surrounds you
I’ll be the light that pulls you through
Watcher of my life
Forever be my guide
Lead me through the mist
Without you I won’t resist
Watcher of my life
Forever be my guide
Although you ain’t here no more
I hear those words you left at the shore
Move on as I told you
Remember all I’ve taught you
Always look ahead
Never behind
Life still goes on
It stops for no one
If you need help
Look up at the stars

In The End
08:20
|

|
Winter’s white dress over land and the sea
Mountains of ice all you can see
Crystals of cold rush in his veins
Taste of iron in lungs full of pain
All his steps drown in the snow
Will to return killed by wind’s blow
Far away miles out of sight
She follows his track
By the shine of moonlight
Lost between trees frozen and dead
He hears her pleading speech in his head
For what he has done he has to die
Secret of blood guilt in his eyes
Hands and feet start to get numb
Final prays pass the black tongue
Circled by ice surrounded by fear
He falls in the snow no one can hear
As she reaches the end of the trail
She finds his body so cold and pale
His head on her womb she starts to pray
But the price for his life she cannot pay
Snow stops to fall wind stops to blow
She knows his time has come to go
Her tears on his face turn into ice
She stays at him till the dead lord arrives
Without her beloved she cannot be
She decides to stay to follow him
What in life was forbidden
In death becomes true
Eternal love just for them two

Farewell
08:15
|
|||
|
Words of sorrow shouldn’t be
A hole so deep inside of me
Lost in a forest without trees
A weight pulls me down on my knees
Tales of pain shouldn’t be
Carved in flesh inside of me
Runes written in sand
Erased by the sea in the end
Rivers of tears shouldn’t be
I see your face smiling back to me
A wall of strength seems to fall
Shadow of the past takes us all
Clouds of grief shouldn’t be
The cold becomes a part of me
As the birds fly
To the end of the sky
Someone will die
A friend says goodbye
As the birds fly
There are tears in the eye
The loss of a friend
Will this pain ever end?
Chains of thoughts shouldn’t be
A maze of feels, I cannot flee
The sun shines for everyone
But it seems your light’s forever gone
Days we shared fall apart
Grief a master of cruel art
The soil takes the friend
Last wish in the end

Wind
08:28

Caught in a prison without any walls
I am the inmate, the guard, I am all
I try to stand up raise my arm
Can’t see my own hand
Is this real or is the dark the end
Lost sense of time and happiness
Severity became my new mistress
Numb to anything and anyone
The will to live seems to be gone
Verloren im Wind der Unendlichkeit
Im Auge des Sturms
Im Dunkel der Einsamkeit
Vergessen der Frühling
Das Licht der schönen Zeit
Mein Herz stirbt im Nebel des Nichts
Der Trostlosigkeit
Eyes run dry skin turns grey and pale
Can’t help myself
Can’t set down my own tale
The fall was fast the impact hard and rough
Buried under shadows I try to be tough
As I lay myself down for the last sleep
I can feel the wind see a light in the deep
I hit rock bottom feel weightlessness in me
The void fades my mind I am free
The old me dies the new self is born
Now I leave this hell
Lay down my crown of thorns
Verloren im Wind der Unendlichkeit
Der Sturm zerrt am Segel
Im Meer der Vergessenheit
Ich verlasse das Dunkel
Den Nebel der schweren Zeit
Der Schatten verblasst
Es stirbt die Einsamkeit
Verloren im Wind der Unendlichkeit
Die Gischt frisst das Leiden
Die Qual der schweren Zeit
Narben in Seele und Herz
Für immer mein Kleid
Der Schatten verblasst
Es stirbt die Einsamkeit
