1. The Moon And The Scars
don´t follow me now
the realms of the past make the future look small
divided we stand together we fall
one question left so I travel back
don´t follow me now
don´t follow me now
always the same the moon and the scars
forever remain the moon and the scars
again and again the moon and the scars
my flight started in the palm of your hand
a holiday, a summer, a lifetime to spend
out of the black into the night
I just never tried
places once known are hidden to me now
make yourself seen, nightmares know how
hidden like your grave I never seem to find
don´t follow me now
asleep but never dead
always the same the moon and the scars
forever remain the moon and the scars
again and again the moon and my scars
and do not follow me now
and I will never change
and I just never tried
and I go back in time (again)
- excerpt from "May Fragments Not Dissolve" -
don´t follow me now
I just never tried
don´t follow me now
2. The Lesser Travelled Seas
I am the flame I am the dream
I am deep within
I drink beauty with my eyes
yet nothing but dreams in my fist
I am the path I take lead
I never forget I never forgive
I carry the torch and leave you behind
yet nothing but dreams in my fist
wait wait wait
the sad sound of trains
wait wait wait
a fist filled with illusions
wait wait wait
don´t smash the silence
wait wait wait
all or nothing at all
the chance of a lifetime
in a lifetime of chance
the wild things in my head
come as close as the end (2x)
beautiful one are you dead or just drunk
while you still sleep I fly through the night
beautiful one are you dying or dead
waiting forever was the life that I´ve lead
wait wait wait
beautiful one are you dead or just drunk
while you still sleep I fly through the night
sinister one are you dying or already dead
waiting forever was the life that I´ve lead
wait wait wait
I never forget I never forgive
all or nothing at all
I am the flame I am the dream
I am deep within
all or nothing at all (2x)
3. The Lonely Have No Right To Share The Summer Sun
gone gone with the summer
gone gone like the summer
our king so beautiful in deep sleep
precious, immaculate dreams encoded in our blood
pure and deep like our love for him
like an angel like an angel with crippled wings
gone gone with the summer
gone gone like the summer
oh my wintertime arriving with the loss of memory
oh my wintertime a streak of black against the grey
oh my wintertime and a longing for the sea
Emily Valentine together we mourn yesterday
you have gone
like the summer
gone away
like the sun
oh younger eyes you have tears sweet as death
at the sight of blood I faint at the sight of my blood
I pass out
you may never know that I could love you, too
you will never know that I sacrifice for you
wake on another shore
wake and summer comes no more
4. I Came To Leave
a grail for the quest and the spirit of Europe
a love unrequited and a dream to cling to
a flower yet brutal to perfume the filth
so I can breathe again
a grail for the quest and the spirit of Europe
a love unrequited and a dream to cling to
a rain, cloud white, to wash my eye
so I can cry again
a grail for the quest and the spirit of Europe
a love unrequited and a dream to cling to
a rain, cloud white, to purify the sky
so I can see again
- you will still sleep many hours
(here on the beach)
and one clear morning you will find
your boat tied to another shore -
a grail for the loss and the spirit of Nothing
a love untrue and a dream for waking
a flower so brutal to perfume all this human filth
so I can live again
- do not be afraid
you will never see the last drop fall -
5. Eisbaer (Grauzone Cover)
look, the birds are falling down
just like rain they reach the ground
and all the fools keep bleating
oh look, the White Ship, over there
come here, but dog damned days are near
I think someone tears my heart apart
I revisit a place I found with you
with the memory all the pain comes, too
now the stars have no sky
imperfection and you lie
the cosmic chaos of life and of lights
oh I think I loved you at first sight
now all fell down and fell dead
and left me here with nothing
6. Lead Me
strange things there hanging in the sky
Slovenia in the rain
in search for luck I feel my voice
not different, not the same
someone remember me and what only I did see
Lead Me
old things in alcoholic logic
Garma I hope one day
in search for luck I ruin my choice
I consider to stay
someone remember me and what only I did see
Lead Me
old things in alcoholic logic
Abraxas I call thy name
in search for luck I ruin my choice
I consider to stay
Lead Me
Lead Me you´ve changed me
Lead Me
Lead Me you´ve changed me
strange things there hanging in the sky
Utopia in the rain
in search for luck I feel my voice
not different, not the same
7. Marian (Sisters Of Mercy Cover)
In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home...
I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...
Marian
Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me
Was ich kann und was ich konnte (What I can do and what I could do)
Weiss ich gar nicht mehr (I just don't know anymore)
Gib mir wieder etwas schones (Give me something beautiful again)
Zieh mich aus dem meer (Drag me from the sea)
Ich hore dich rufen Marian (I hear you calling Marian)
Kannst du mich schreien horen (Can you hear me calling?)
Ich bin hier allien (I am here alone)
Ich hore dich rufen Marian (I hear you calling Marian)
Ohne diene hilfe verliere ich mich in diessem ort (Without your help I am lost
in this place)
8. Tryst
today I feel great, finally I've found it
we get drunk on Martini at the Peach Pit
and tomorrow we crush the pigeons on the place
your spirit smiles away my melancholy face
every morning I will say:
"I love you till my heart dies"
and "most beautiful
are your eyes"
today I feel so great in all I do
a time supreme, runes I read in the yew
we lie in the grass interpreting the clouds
we indulge in misanthropy, laugh away the doubts
every morning I will say...
but hoping is futile
and wishing in vain
to you all the best
PS: "all the stars are dead now"
9. Katzentanz
I embrace you, I embrace you
let me watch, your feline dance
I embrace you, I embrace you
do you feel, the feline eyes
and I watched you in your sleep
this piece of heaven by my side
I wished it could forever be
spend my life by your side
the ecstasy I feel
when I look into your eyes
you could make life worth living
so I say
you wake up in the morning
and I smile for you
believe me, I would forever do
I embrace you, I embrace you
let me watch, your feline dance
I embrace you, I embrace you
do you feel, the feline eyes
and the world is cold
but I think I'll get trough
I wished it could have been
my weakness, you
the melancholy I feel
when I fall into your eyes
you could make death worth trying
still I'd swear
you wake up in the morning
and I smile for you
believe me, I would forever do
again I'm alone, left in despair
"just drive out of here and then stop anywhere"
please do not let all fall to pieces
just throw your present life away
again I am hurt, again I wait
"we have to go, it's getting late"
tears of joy would be something new
a kiss and a smile, tears for you
just remember that all I said was true and honestly meant
I'd stay with you until the end
10. To Be
did you ever know
you, so far away
waiting for an answer
waiting for another time
some kind of heaven
let your depths shine
the heartland may be flooded
the spire never drowns
just like the place
I always long for
to know I'll never reach
never reach you
thoughts and memories
are remedies to get a glimpse
of this light
I raise my arms toward
once more lights
everywhere anytime with you or you
oh do I dare
in the narrow next time
oh do I get
a next time at all
just take me out
I will try again
11. Shine
there could be a future, I see it bright, I don't see
it clear
there is a place, I'm part of it with you
there is joy and all the pleasure
and there is also something I longed for
I'd give it all up, I'd throw it all away
but all that's left is me here in despair
hear the serenade
this serenade of my soul
my tearful words for you to shine
maybe you are present right now
and maybe I point at you right now
and if you are not
I wish it would be
that you would listen to my wail
I want to wave farewell to my lament
forget all my pain, my waking hours
I'll wake you in the morning
in a time when luck is mine
I await a time for me to shine
12. Forlorn (Hidden Track)
