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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was weak, yet not unblessed. Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. One night I dreamt a white rose withering, a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. A witnessed the beauty of the beast" Where have all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased? Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return? I've never felt so alone in my life As I drank from a cup which was counting my time There's a poison drop in this cup of Man To drink it is to follow the left hand path "Where have all the feelings gone? Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time, soon to be freed from care, from human pain. My tale is the most bitter truth: Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.

Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man`s face red With their own blood They used to love having so much to lose Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white Blindfold for the blind Dead siblings walking the dying earth Noose around a choking heart Eternity torn apart Slow toll now the funeral bells ”I need to die to feel alive” Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower But the flower that forsakes the tree Someday I`ll learn to love these scars Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words ...How blind can you be, don`t you see... ...that the gambler lost all he does not have... Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful |

They are tired of painting a dead man`s face red With their own blood They used to love having so much to lose Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white Blindfold for the blind Dead siblings walking the dying earth Noose around a choking heart Eternity torn apart Slow toll now the funeral bells ”I need to die to feel alive” Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower But the flower that forsakes the tree Someday I`ll learn to love these scars Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words ...How blind can you be, don`t you see... ...that the gambler lost all he does not have... Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful |

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

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

Once I had a dream and this is it
Once there was a child's dream One night the clock struck twelve The window open wide Once there was a child's heart The age I learned to fly And took a step outside Once I knew all the tales It's time to turn back time Follow the pale moonlight Once I wished for this night Faith brought me here It's time to cut the rope and Fly to a dream Far across the sea All the burdens gone Open the chest once more Dark chest of wonder Seen through the eyes Of the one with pure heart Once so long ago The one in the big blue is What the world stole from me This night will bring him back to me |

Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend So much to live for, so much to die for If only my heart had a home Sing what you can`t say Forget what you can`t play Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes Walk within my poetry, this dying music - My loveletter to nobody Never sigh for better world It`s already composed, played and told Every thought the music I write Everything a wish for the night Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin Died for the beauty the one in the garden Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom Failed in becoming a god Never sigh... "If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength. Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life" "Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone Show me love, hold the lorn So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I`m sorry Time will tell (this bitter farewell) I live no more to shame nor me nor you And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..." A lonely soul... An ocean soul... |

The story behind the painting I drew is already told
No more tearstains on the pages of my diary Tired but unable to give up since I'm Responsible for the lives I saved The play is done (The play is done) The curtain's down All the tales are told All the orchids gone Lost in my own world Now I care for dead gardens My song is little worth anymore Time to lay this weary pen aside The play is done (The play is done) The curtain's down "Where are the wolves, the underwater moon The elvenpath, the haven of youth Lagoons of the starlit sea Have I felt enough for one man's deed? Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days And let the virgin conceive" All the tales are told All the orchids gone All the tales are told All the orchids gone Lost in my own world Now I care for dead gardens |

All the same take me away
We're dead to the world The child gave thought to the poet's world Gave comfort to the Fallen Heartfelt lovelorn Remaining yet still uninvited Those words scented my soul Lonely soul Ocean soul It's not the monsters under your bed It is the Man next door That makes you fear makes you cry Makes you cry for the child All the wars are fought among those lonely men Unarmed unscarred I don't want to die a scarless man A lonely soul Tell me now what to do I studied silence to learn the music I joined the sinful to regain innocence Heaven queen cover me In all that blue Little boy such precious joy Is dead to the world Heaven queen carry me Away from all pain All the same take me away We're dead to the world Dead silent constant Yet always changing My favorite view of this world As he died he will return to die in me again Weaving the cloth giving birth to the Century Child Who gave his life not for the world but for me Innocence reborn once more Heaven queen carry me Away from all pain All the same take me away We're dead to the world Heaven queen cover me In all that blue Little boy such precious joy Is dead to the world Heaven queen carry me Away from all pain All the same take me away We're dead to the world We're dead to the world |

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

(In the sheltering shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet... ...The Elvenpath) Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf-folk is calling me Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on The way to the lands... As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight |

Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Would you do it with me Heal the scars and change the stars Would you do it for me Turn loose the heaven within I'd take you away Castaway on a lonely day Bosom for a teary cheek My song can but borrow your grace Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Come out come out wherever you are So lost in your sea Give in give in for my touch For my taste for my lust Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Your beauty cascaded on me In this white night fantasy Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me |

Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me Would you do it with me Heal the scars and change the stars Would you do it for me Turn loose the heaven within I'd take you away Castaway on a lonely day Bosom for a teary cheek My song can but borrow your grace Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me (Dream of me) Come out, come out wherever you are So lost in your sea Give in, give in for my touch For my taste, for my lust Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me Your beauty cascaded on me In this white night fantasy (Dream of me) Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me (Dream of me) Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love, it lies so deep Ever dream of me |

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

Heaven today is far away
To a place I once called home Heart of a child ??? As another love grows cold Once my heart beat to the Rhythm of the falling snow Like there below the river now flows A stream on mounds of magic snow For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had Given today, with all the ??? To understand the weight of the world Faded and torn, I'll never learn My weak and hoping heart For the child, for the night For the heart I once had I believe I have foreseen Everything I could ever be For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had Time will not heal a dead boy's scars Time will kill For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had |

Fare thee well
little broken heart Downcast eyes lifetime loneliness Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone Constant longing for the perfect soul Unwashed scenery forever gone Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I'll be forever yours Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I'll be forever yours No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I'll be forever yours Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone Whatever walks in my heart |

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

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I'll bleed forever Scent of the sea before the waking of the world Brings me to thee Into the blue memory My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I'll bleed forever Into the blue memory A siren from the deep came to me Sang my name my longing Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be The Child will be born again That siren carried him to me First of them true loves Singing on the shoulders of an angel Without care for love n` loss Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me Take me Cure me Kill me Bring me home Every way Every day Just another loop in the hangman`s noose Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Every way, every day I keep on watching us sleep Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve Of you and me Forgive the adoring beast Redeem me into childhood Show me myself without the shell Like the advent of May I`ll be there when you say Time to never hold our love My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I will bleed forever to moonn6epnce from shootingstar |

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the Division Bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed-of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever |

Higher Than Hope
Time it took the most of me And left me with no key To unlock the chest of remedy Mother, the pain ain't hurting me But the love that I feel When you hold me near The hopes were high The choirs were vast Now my dreams are left to live through you Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Passiontide An angel by my side But no Christ to end this war To deliver my soul from the sword Hope has shown me a scenery Paradise poetry With first snow I'll be gone The hopes were high The choirs were vast Now my dreams are left to live through you Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies "I would just like to think that, it's not why it happened me. But why was I saved? What else can I do now?" Your death saved me "Being in the dark about something, I can't even tell you how scary it is. You don't know what's inside; you don't know what's going to happen to you. The best way to put somebody at ease is to inform them, even if it's grim truth." Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies |

For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind Even the dead cry Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don`t care Orchid kids, blinded stare Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon Father help me, save me a place by your side There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game Run away with your impeccable kin Good wombs hath borne bad sons Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors` guilt In us forevermore 15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy How were we supposed to know? |

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

Kautta erämaajärven
matkaa kulkuri yksinäinen Näkee lammella joutsenparven vapauttaan itkevän Kaipuu menneisyyteen kiirii ilmassa huutoina kotkien Ikijärveltä turvatulta käy matka vuorten taa (Translation:) Via a wilderness lake Travels a lonely wanderer In a pond he sees a flock of swans Crying for their freedom The longing for the past Echoes through the air as screams of eagles From the ever-lake so safe The journey continues beyond the mountains |
