1. The Gate
2. A Kingdom's Lost Beauty
Silent the murky waters flow
And a raven calls me fool
Thus ends a painful memory
Or does it start a new
I weep, I cry, but not one sigh
Does leave my dried out soul
My heart unfree, my fate is bound
To an arcane misery
Mournful sings the dying bard
Of anguish and of thee
A man who owns a frozen heart
Dies like a rotten tree
King I was called, right hand of god
Fulfilling deeds on earth
Dead I should be, I’m broken
See I’m just a fool of hate
A kingdom’s lost beauty
And the rise of the moon
Where at night a black raven
Calls me home too soon
Lost kingdom...all beauty’s gone…
Thou cry so much, my shattered friend
Yet I could help, I own the land
For I’m the spirit of these woods
And know the mournful fate
Yet there is hope to be released
From this thy misery
To dream away what threatens thee
And finish agony
I beg thee, if by any chance
My pain would go away
I’d pay my price, be it so high
My life’s a worn out lie
Even if it costs thy soul? Even if
My life is worthless than my soul
Where the frost spirits wither
Then shall be thy release
You’ll awake from the slumber
And the lands rest in peace
A kingdom’s lost beauty
And its final moonrise
Lost forever
And end it comes too soon
The icy winds shiver
Place of ancient war
Call the spirits of the night
Not…to judge…
Oh how could it happen
As I should have known
That she was true loyal
Now I am alone
Murdered her while she dreams
So innocent and calm
The traitor was my own one son
Oh holy crown, be gone
A kingdom’s lost beauty
And the rise of the moon
Where at night a black raven
Calls me home all too soon
Thus begins a decade of sorrow
Ten years of an agonized dream
Whereto it leads, wherefrom he’d come
Still secret of the One
3. The Ancient Realms
I travel through my dreams
there´s no forward, there´s no return
bleeding heart, it hurts
My blinded eyes can´t see
a place none before me ever saw
the holy shrine of endless pain
Pain inside is rising
I am a fallen one
a puppet of the ancient ones
predestined for doom
I flew into this darkened place
sorrows crush my soul
insanity is rising
crying out the pain
I´m not a king, I´m just a fool
how can I live, if there´s no end
Wind blows in my face
dark wastelands lie beside
caught inside this realm
of endless life
frozen seas apart
lost souls gather to rise
the end of all time
Hallowed be the holy quest
god he knows
how long I´ve been away
I did end to think
I travel further
without a destiny
no fear of things to come
The ancients lead me through
forgotten realms and surreal worlds
the places of the damned
Agony is rising
how can I face this fate
no sign of my salvation
damned in this cold hell
My quest will never end
I´ve seen it in my dreams
there´s no hope anymore.
4. An Angel's Requiem
My tears dry slow
Fading reality
So cold…
Eternal grief
Coat of morality
So deep…
Returning from the ancient realms
Everything’s so dark and cold
Deep fog is getting closer
Chasing me through the wood
Still I’m confused
Is this a dream
Or just reality
Am I back
From this cold hell
And is she really dead
Yes, she died by my own hand
A victim of my raging hunt
The winter gods have blackened my mind
Damnation is my fate
Cry out my angel
I never felt so hard
Seeking for my destiny
My future lies apart
Forgive me my angel
For cruelty I have done
And hear my fading words for you
My Angel’s Requiem
Standing at her grave
The winds blow cold and hard
The tears drop down my face
Oh no
Now she’s lying there
In her darkened bed
I cannot stand the pain
For this that I have done
God oh please forgive me
Why can’t you just bring her back
Why can’t she just live
Why can’t I die
Cry out my angel
I never felt so hard
Seeking for my destiny
My future lies apart
Forgive me my angel
For cruelty I have done
And hear my fading words for you
My Angel’s Requiem.
5. Bleeding Rose
6. Dream in Beautiful Slumber
Her blackened eye reflects the soul
Angelic she stands
Every minute passes by
With a silent cry
All alone, no one there
Her senseless way of life
She tried to tell
But you never listened
Hate for this eternal pain
For never ending grief
For burning down my heart
For crushing my life
Walking never alone
A shadow without light
Tears sprinkle my skin
My heart just wants to die
Her hole life she felt unloved
Unaccepted
Just too much for her little heart
And it tears my eyes and eats my soul
This everlasting memory so cruel
Feeds my pain
Now just a grave is left
All being just black and grey
And nothing’s alright
Tears in her eyes
Which no one sees
No friend in her life at all
This false love was the last nail
In her coffin
Just enough to leave
You never ever listened
And now she died
You never ever listened
And now she died.
7. Mournful Abyss
Beyond the shore
there lies the crossroads end
where they´re upreaching high
all thy dreams, they have to end
Just behind this doomfull shore
where I have woke alone
landscapes of valleys filled with ice
Since I´m here I walked alone
no soul is passing by
I feel the darkness that embraces
Where no life shares me a dream
in the cold white desert planes
I run for what I could not tell
I freeze from inside out
but still my breath goes hard
My heart it seems absorbed
by the rocks in the north
in this Mournfull Abyss dream
my feelings turn to black
they seem to be… reversed
I feel the breath of autumn rain
my memory drives me insane
as now and far too long
love you faded far to fast
and drove me here to die
My god, not over!
my past has reached me again
all of my memories are fading
I will cry… for… no more!
My fading love
now you can´t hear
what I´ve done for you
in this Mournfull Abyss
I have joined the place of hell
that is here on this earth
we will never meet again
for I am now a lost... (of heaven)
8. Tribute to Resurrection
9. Prophecy of Salvation
Time of witches, time of doom
in eerie darkness shadows loom
long live the king who died alone
long bleeds the one lamb on his throne
A church where madness means salvation
where trials have but one result
a place where sorrow lasts eternal
yet is reborn in god´s delight
Prophecy of cruel salvation
story of foretold damnation
The mighty ones are fat and healthy
cause they can eat one´s filth (they´re wealthy)
yet lust for more of selfish nothing
and hail the whore called Babylon
Feed the insane grinning clown
in my madness I will drown
A church where treason makes a bishop
where treachery´s a noble deed
a place where envy rules the wicked
with poor dissenters worth no dime
The fallen souls of heaven´s hell
in deepest pits since long they dwell
all shall return in chains removed
all shall return in chains removed
Obsessed is mine heart grinning sleeps
I see him reaper as the coachman
who leads astray them dead and fooled
ye corpses are forlorn and lost
I´m lying here, my body´s broken
carrions fly and vultures wait
to finish god´s mad work
to finish god´s mad work
Prophecy of cruel salvation
story of foretold damnation
feed the insane grinning clown
in my madness I will drown.
10. Forgotten Past
Alone…the shadows they have come
To sing the dead man’s hymn
For every dawn I die
‘til my last dusk has come…
My image washed away
On a sunless misty dawn
Forced to walk the paths
Of my forgotten past
The night has taken over
But still I do not sleep
In my blackened mind
I’m travelling so deep
Alone…the shadows they have come
To sing the dead man’s hymn
For every dawn I die
‘til my last dusk has come…
My brain it has no answer
For what I shall have done
These shadows are an artefact
For revenge that’s still to come
I wait for day in peaceful sleep
When I shall wake to die
In death there lies salvation
Now I can’t even cry
Words…of hate surround
Icy winds on hallowed ground
Shades…hate
Why
Alone…the shadows they have come
To sing the dead man’s hymn
For every dawn I die
‘til my last dusk has come…
