1. Nightmare
Run, don´t stop
You still don´t know the reason to your escape
Your trembling legs try to run faster than they can
The drops of rain are just acid for your eyes
Lost in a forest and shivering, naked, alone
Scratched by brushes you can find a path
Where am I now? What do my eyes look at?
There is a castle in front me
Between its towers. The moon: a crystal ball and two hands
Lightnings sparkling a tenebrous night
Now, you're running for your life again
The clouds make strange figures: tusks. clouds, and thornes
Thunders bellow in the sky above
Your feet slide in the mud and your legs are more tired on each step
The desperation runs into your veins, fear´s smelt in your breath
It´s near your end
Keep on running, never stop ( 4)
It seems your tired- your heart is beating loud
It seems your tired- your body now´s lain down
You only can hide your face with your hands
Say your last words !
Where was I then? What were looking my eyes?
There was a castle in front of me
That four men tried to kill me
They failed, and now I´m free
2. The Stainglasses of the Widow's Mansion
Silk- She´s dressed in black as the depth of the night
Her nails- They´re long and sharp as a well tempered blade
The inherited grey pendant is there, shinning on over her chest
The veil almost can´t hide her pale skin, she is the Queen of Sleet´s Rage
The beauty and the rage in one face
They fell in love with her
A dark shadow passes alone by the window
Behind the curtains a brief sight appears
The wheatercook turns like a whirlwind
When midnight moonlight creeps in the night
A picture made of light
Refraction of her past
The stainglasses of the widow´s mansion
The silence sounds so loud
Nobody hears your cries
Just when the entrance door gets locked
3. Don't Hear the Answer
Low!, a dry well a appears in my thoughts
When dreams, they have come lies
My eyes are too old to see
The truth´s so far
Oh, will I find another chance to break down the walls of fate?
No!, will I know who I am to go back and start again? Again...
Only Arts give us a lenitive to our pain
While we contemplate a work
By mere aesthetic delight
We escape from the tyranny of will
Deliverance from pain is the annulment of the cause
Finding the stage of indifference
As we have waived for what we are
We sink in the arms of the mild nothingness
I ask the wise man about the meaning of my life
Oh, don´t hear the answer
No, don´t hear the answer
The will is just a longing, a longing, nothing else
As it is no determined, it will never be satisfied
The knowledge is our savior, what fills up our black void
As we reject the ignorance we´ll find another sight
A dry well appears in my thoughts
When dreams they have become lies
My eyes are too old to see
But the truth is near
No, don´t hear the answer
No, don´t hear the answer
4. Before, Part I - The Hall of Time
5. Before, Part II - The Past
The errant´s pride, althought he´s trapped in time
It´s he´s at home everyplace he wants to go
Never turn back the head to see what´s behind
There´s many things to be found beneath the stars
I take a walk but I don´t know when I´ll be back
I want to know if my life is mine
You´ll find me on the cliffs
Trying to hear the silence of my soul
My heart is full of hopes
No tears allowed in my way
Swimming in the air
Dancing with the sea
Life is short
Behind our mask we feel the weakness of the sill of dreams
Unreality is my fear. I´m in a daze
Now I´m dreaming
So, please, don´t wake me up
I watch inside me and what do I see
where has gone my youth?
Will I feel it again? Or is it that is near the end?
Along the path of life I´m lost
I´ve misguided my way
I´ve left my past behind
So, turn back the hands of my clock !
But will you give another chance to me?
If I should tell you I won't do it anymore
I´m trying to say I shouldn´t hurt your heart
If I should make things right before
I´m trying to fight for myself
Looking for my time
But it has gone away
I´ve only found cries
Faces I see, voices I hear
I´m blind, I´m deaf
The wind moves my hair, it´s cold
Not much than my soul
You are the one who understands me now
Take me away from here
6. Before, Part III - The Present (Drops of Tears…)
7. Before, Part III - The Present (… Becoming a Stream)
Cry now, cry all that you want
But don´t cry again, anymore
I´m looking down from the bridge
And I see the stream behind
Running fast just like my life
My face reflected in the river
But it is not dragged away
It´s standing like a fire
I see what I´ve become
Now, my head is so high, that all things that made me get scared have gone
It´s time to forget the mistakes I´ve made and believe in my own life
But I don´t forgive to my enemies although they made me learn
Cause I see my way, my deliverance, and at last I can hear the great silence
that comes from my soul
8. Before, Part IV - The Future (Large Dark Clouds)
9. Before, Part IV - The Future (Will It Be So Cold Like Before?)
Large dark clouds in the horizon
Coming near
There´s someone calling me
But I can not see
To say that I´ll be back again
To hear the words I´ve never heard
To break the rules of their game
I need hopes, I need hopes
To look at them right to their eyes
To feel the joy when it is far
To ask aloud to heavens
What the hell have I done?
To walk away to another place
To feel the void inside my heart
To cry like a little child
I´m alone, so alone
To stay alive when all are gone
To see the truth when I´m so blind
The future is my nightmare
Will it be so cold like before?
Your future's in your hands
