1. Intro
2. Artificial Gallery
Following an erring light
to the halls of my spirit.
the art created by the life
is in empty frames without visions
Empty books, full of questions
Cover the ornamented floor.
this realm is my deepest inner
the artefact that is me!
each step another picture
telling me who I am
all my sins, my secret wishes
lie herein inscribed in endless words
long forgotten, hidden moments,
feelings from long ago
happened to me as I breathed
overcome my thoughts - my soul
the last door opens silently
a dark chamber quite ahead
only one frame ornaments the wall
showing me that I'm dead.
Refrain
The Artefact that is me
Become a vanished part
in the labyrinth
of the gallery.
The Artefact that is me
A part of life's ceremony.
3. Barrage
In my World seen by noone ever
I walk the confused paths beneath my bleeding trees
Seeing demons fly across a ghastly sky
Will the gods creation finally wither and die?
The Darkness falls upon the grey landscape
Colluds the homeland of my elves and gnomes
A last rose suffocates in the burning dust
See my only barrage perish in bloody rust!
Standing between my home worlds
Starring through my red cried eyes
Hoping there's a better future
for my lonely fantasy world
Refrain
Living in two worlds forged by unknown plans
and a barrage seperates them into two
I feel two hearts pulsate in my chest
will my barrage starts turning into rust?
Bridge
And so I reached my only barrage
The only hope of my dying worlds
4. Dare to Die
So now you’re here, celebrating yourself
You don’t know fear and also nothing else
You face the death in the cage of your pride
It’s hard alone with noone by your side
And in the end it’s a run for your time
How sweet the sound of heart beat sounding chimes
It’s carved in stone what to you seemes a game
But soon, my friend, your soul is dwelt in doubtful pain
Bridge
My hero, my god, what’s the force which can strike you down
Your reason, you’ve got no faith in a silent sound
My champion, my chief, don’t you gather your treasures on earth
Your sorrow, your grief are your possessions when you are gone
Refrain
Dare to die
Urge to leave this world
5. Demoncross
Dying under the demoncross
sends its shadow to the utopia
hollow mind of our mankind
caveman violence - our creative seed.
humans behind smiling masques
hiding their poisoned tears.
lost the tunes from beyond
the deadly pact - implanted fears.
end is the winter in gaia's hall
freezing the scenery of hope
eternity - landscape dream of men
- lesser in colors than vanishing scenes.
Facade for a senseless crusade
to decode the citadel's blueprint of life
In Nyctalopia we walk blinded
- We cried for the end, but the end will not come
Refrain
Submit my hope to my fallen gods
with the tools of our time
the moon shines in apathy
to our fable idols.
6. Weary Man
She moved to the sea. Just to find me
But when I got there she didn’t care
she moved to the north was bored of love
she didn’t like warmth I didn’t so
The world of today Works a new way
She says she knows it. That’s alright
Refrain
Weary man don’t you let go
You’re just a scapegoat
Weary man don’t you get low
It ain’t you’re fault
She moved to the sky. Just like she’s died
and there she gets wings all those things
she once had a dream she told me it seemed
like I said to her save the world
My lord is a child Rising so high
And I got his name All the same
7. Under Willow Trees
Cicates cover your blood-red hairs
singing their velvet songs.
Your soul is lost, forevermore,
under the willow trees.
Call me dead but my heritage lives
to find the grinding answers.
One single signe of my weak hands
steals the urkraft's power.
Strike down the beast of ignorance
Feed on the dead corpse's silence.
Your life is your own uncertain way
Breath a last time - go.
Bridge
Die alone when you come to the end
Be alone at the edge of your life
Refrain
A Gate to another world
A Place where time stands still
The path to the netherhalls
under the willow trees.
8. Skald's Serenade
In dusk woods we roam - across a dream
In a world where nothing is - as it seems
We tell the tale - from fairy land
Hard for the non-elect - to understand
Glimmering silver leaves - like tapestry
Where the noble ones live - in misery
netherworlds halls are - forever unseen
Songs from the skalds - so bitter serene
Sleeping Gods awoke - by the tunes
played by the skalds - in magic runes
The motion whirl fades - leaving the path
the melodies pass by - ending the serenade
Refrain
I dance for the gods
I'm singing my spell
Crooning melodies
aflame to symphonies
9. Fjärran
Refrain/Bridge2:
And high above the dinning stound
of dwarfs and men, and elven sound.
(1)
Hearing Demons, came from afar,
Smelling the banquet-feast of war.
Came in black flocks to norsemen plains,
to drink the blood-wine from their veins.
(2)
There by the wide and windy shore
the waves are stained in blood-red gore.
Songs from beyond, the skalds play
a song to their sun-god Frey.
(3):
And far away from the shore
hark on the ocean's angry roar
see how the very stones are tost
by raging waves on the coast.
And your ship, with glancing sides
Must sail to the ocean's tides
must sail to unknown shores
and the war sounds are heard no more.
10. Outro
