1. The Once And Future King
It beckons to us all
Sometimes we cannot hide
It beckons us inside
Open the door, a knock so pure
In comes the seraphim
Teach me things, I already know
Filled with adrenalin
Cut him down, yet he grows back
And makes my blood sing
It beckons to us all
Sometimes we cannot hide
The most unusual thing
The once and future king
Wide open the door, a knock for sure?
In comes the seraphim
Leave me things I don’t need
Like a life to begin
Cuts me down, cut, cut
In comes the new king
Come in
It beckons to us all
Sometimes we cannot hide
The most familiar thing
The once and future king
2. To The Distant Grey
I remember the dreamwind
Filling my sails then blowing me off course
I remember the blue sky
The follies of youth and a wish to die
I remember things held close
Thrown away and forgotten
I foresee that it will come true
This my wind now blows for you
Calling calling
Across the blue
I remember the black heart
The knowledge of age and the falling apart
I remember the feelings I lack
And the friendships that were a stab in the back
Calling calling
Across the blue
I will burn this page today
I will throw my life away
I just do not want to stay
I give it all to the beautiful sea
Calling calling
Across the blue
To the distant grey
3. Now We Make The Past Undone
Coming late but here we are
On our forehead the fallen star
So here I am, here I stand
Await the moment time will bend
Coming back out of the dark
On my forehead I wear the mark
Feel the day when it’s all gone
Now we make the past undone
Now we make the past undone
Arriving late yet here we run
In our heart a secret sun
Here I am, here I stand
And my world will never end
Now we make the past undone
Come, come
Now we make the past undone
Go, go
To the place where we all must go
Away, away
Listen, “remember the day”
You say
All those years get washed away
Now we make the past undone
4. Snaketime
See them coming step aside
A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died
See them coming step aside
A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died
Snaketime Snaketime
Joy delight Joy delight
Intoxication all across the nation
Intoxication all across the nation
If thine eye offend thee
If thine eye offend thee
If thine eye offend thee
Cut it……
See them coming step aside
A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died
See them coming step aside
A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died
Snaketime Snaketime
Snaketime Snaketime
Intoxication all across the nation
Intoxication all across the nation
If thine eye offend thee
If thine eye offend thee
If thine eye offend thee
Cut it out
5. Tesco Girl
Oh my Tesco girl
Pretty foreign you are to me
Would you like to know yet more
About our fate or the ONT
how is your life ?
(Is it) run away with me tonight
The crops may fail but you´d always be true
(I know) a beautiful Tesco girl
Are you happy now ?
With all the things that I never gave to you
Is it all just a come and go ?
And a lost Tesco girl
Farewell (my) Tesco girl
For I will never see you again
Another dream brings another face
And I will never know you
6. Shores Of Yesterday
Here I watch the midnights go and all this searching has to stop
And how long this road appears and how uncertain in the night
I´ve got so far to go and oh so little time
Though I may regret tomorrow I´d say yesterday was mine
So let us sing of the tortured heart
So let us revisit places past
So let us dream of chances lost
So let us sail on ships of gold
Here the years rush like blood and what we love we hurt the most
Adrift on that special day I glanced through to another world
But considering this and reflecting that, promises broken and Nothing else left
What is real is better than what was dreamt, but still I can dream
We will never know
So let us sing of the tortured heart
So let us revisit places past
So let us dream of chances lost
So let us sail on ships of gold
To the shores of yesterday
7. And Never Return
A different world waits for me
A hideaway from all that´s wrong
Across the waves to enchanted isles
Far away and there we´ll stay
We all live troubled lives
But I´d rather stay here in the dark
You like the west but I go north
There is more than one true love
I´m just passing by and people change
Hearing you say "people change"
And then you blackened all the stars
And then you never looked back
And then you sent the gods away
And then they never came back
And then I saw you in my dreams
And then you never came back
I am still the same but people change
Hang on, it´s gone and people change
8. 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)
9. youngBlood
You´re close to me, close as the end
I love the past, I must not forget it
I do remember "Dialogue", "Sunrise"
And searching for Liebenfels
Bloodyoungblood
You´re far from me, (why are you) so far from me
I call up the past and I regret it
Outside I stand looking in
And revel in the chill of nihil
Bloodyoungblood
Not dead in beds of white
Not dead a body wired
Not dead
He is not dead
He is not dead in beds of white
He is not dead a body wired
He did not die he did not die
He did not die
May the past arise
And change the future
Bloodyoungblood
10. Time
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
There will come a time
We said
But time only goes
The fading of the rainbow
The closing of a rose
We´ll make the time
We vowed
But times already made
Impatient as the twilight
Elusive as the shade
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
We´ll take the time
We both agreed
But time is only lived
Ahe clock unwinds
And autumn leaves
Run riot in the wind
And time just slips away
They say
Like golden grains of sand
And the days and nights
We held so tight
Escape from out our hands
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now our time comes
And now it has gone
And now it has gone
11. 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
12. 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)
13. 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 -
14. 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
15. First Song
Wait, here we stand
Starry-eyed at the crossroads
I do not pretend
Here we stand once again
I´m just passing by - come crashing into your life
Uncertainty
Not enough time
Let´s hesitate forever
As I stumble I await my fall
I´m just passing by - here crawling into your life
Let loose your dolphins to tear me apart
Let loose your cats to feast on my heart
Let loose your friends to defile my name
Let loose a love to engulf me with pain
I´m just passing by and here is your first song
And the light in your eyes, glimmer or pity
Let loose your dolphins to tear me apart
Let loose your cats to feast on my heart
Let loose your friends to defile my name
Let loose a love to engulf me with pain
I´m just passing by, sharing your fear of getting old
And now I remember that your hair was golden
16. Arrival
Men as trees, walking
Outside angels fall for us
Outside giants rule again
Outside we´ll become like them
Outside oh what a fine day
I have my own symbols to dress
I have plenty of hate for this mess
Outside
Outside
Everything will be alright
Next time everything wil be alright
Wake up my love, wake up
Here come the good times
Outside Watchers come to us
Outside The Elder Ones appear
Inside a Black Sun shining
Outside they have arrived
I have my own symbols to dress
I have plenty of hate for this mess
Outside
Outside oh what a war day
Everything will be alright
Next time everything will be alright
Goodnight my love, goodnight
Here come the good times
LoveLifeLight
17. Heaven Street
Take a walk down Heaven Street
The soil is soft and the air smells sweet
Paul is waiting there
And so is Franz
Now only memories run on railway tracks
This road leads to Heaven
Waiting feet frozen to the ground
The earth exploding with the gas of bodies
Rifle butts
To crush you down
Now only flowers
To idolize
This road leads to Heaven
18. The Nothing Out Of Me
Five years doing time
Ten years nothing changes
Driven apart and blown away
Ohne Dich wird es Nacht
Nostalgia all in vain
In ancient places I dream future
For you for me
Ohne Dich wird es Nacht
Though a body found the mind stays alone
See myself lost in the City Of Never
Waiting for someone to come out
What do you do so far away
You are there in another life
And your December dreams, your thoughts are mine
I´ll catch the sun and never give it back again
A part of this is a bit of you
And when you wake up in the morning
I´ll be the one who smiles for you
I fade for the Flower like an unfulfilled dream
May you always remain to shine like I have seen
I fade like a flower, like someone on a cross
Lit up, brought down, but love does cost
-Are you asleep, sweet flower of my blood?-
19. A Dream Within A Dream
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
Has it all gone or will I fall awake
Will I never return to be the same again
Droplets of memory are all that remain
Strange faces promising new life
Does the reward justify the loss
All beauty burned
Burned like bridges I once crossed
7 years ago often more
Has it all gone or will I fall awake
Will I never return to be young again
Since it does not matter when
Why could I not die then
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
If it´s good to live then it´s better to be asleep dreaming
I came to leave I start to bleed
A dream within a dream
Another wave breaks on a foreign shore
A dream within a dream
All the pain that comes down on me
A dream within a dream
The second side of My Boy
A dream within a dream
Nothing nothing nothing nothing
A dream within a dream
A hideaway unseen
A dream within a dream
Why could I not die then
Why could I not die then
