1. Nightmare Awaits
Sleep through all the night
My sweetest children
Sleep so soft and sound
You will be the stars of quiet darkness
sleep my pretty ones
Sons and daughters into round,
Innocent souls, you’ll be proud
Mist grow thick in bleak december
I give my life to set you free
Sleeping blend destroy the thunder
Let the sunshine on their dreams
Blackened sky upon the embers
I sacrifice my life to you
A mother’s love destroys the thunder
Lets the sun shine onto you.
Sleep through all the night
My sweetest children
Sleep so soft and sound
You will be the stars of quiet darkness
sleep my pretty ones.
2. Slaughter
> Morning comes as pale as death
> mirror of your crying eyes
No more shall I see the sun
shine above our wounded land
> Here they come, defeated hearts
> your hands are trembling in the dark
Danger lingers underneath
I shall have no more relief
> Leave for once your dearest things
> hold your faith upon your ring
Dreadful slaughter lies beyond
swords could never break this bond.
Marching in the twilight
bringing forth the fray
Hearts are slowly melting
like our walls of clay
We’re close to the final war
Here I shall stand waiting for
their footsteps on the ground
I am ready to fight now.
> Here they come upon your door
> he who stays will live no more
I shall never leave my den
choice is mine until the end
> Crashing through your frozen heart
> Swords fly high into the dark
My heart beats as cold as ice,
I am left to my device.
> Crashing through your tender heart
> Who is hiding in the dark?
Dreadful slaughter’s what I see
Take them not, oh just take me
Fighting in the darkness
shattering my heart
Close to my beloved
reasons fall apart.
We’re close to the final war
Here I shall stand, fighting for
my children and my pride,
I am ready to die, now!
3. Dancing Memories
Where are you children
light of my dreams?
Where are you husband,
Lost in your sleep?
Does the wind sing
Upon your graves?
Are you in a land
where You’ll never be slaves?
You’re Dancing inside my belief
This world is wrecked into the seed,
Dancing since death hath thy freed
No more myself can I deceive
Are we all equal
or was it a dream?
Blood under smiles and
Masks covered greed.
Shall I be always damned to starvation
Or worse to their lusts and their obligation?
You’re dancing inside my belief
This world is wrecked into the seed
Dancing now death hath thou freed
No more myself can I deceive
Shall I be always damned to starvation
Or worse to their lusts and their obligation?
4. Spleen
Night falls softly in the place where I lie
Covers me with an old lullaby
I mince my pride with gracious songs of love
I soothe my strives with pleasant harmonies,
Elysium Choir
Night falls softly in the place where I lie,
Covers me with an old lullaby
I step on the terrace that looks upon my dreams
I hear your voice calling from the trees,
Elysium Choir
> Why return to ashes
I seek for sleep melancholy
> So thy freedom crashes
Through empty rooms of endless dreams
> Death is endless silence
Seek for peace melancholy
> Let me be thy guidance
Let me bear no more the spleen
Dawn came closer on the sun tainted bars,
You faded softly in my love burning scars.
And still your voice beneath the painted sky
Calls my name and still I wish to die,
Elysium Choir
5. Hopeless Flight
Awake in the cold
of my endless pain,
rushing through the most tasteless days
fleeing through the forest.
Among hopes and endless fears,
heaven never felt so near,
as the wind went through my hair
like in the day of our first kiss,
dawn of love.
I ran through the strives
of my being a woman,
with no shield for her but love,
fleeing in the shadow.
I could not choose for other
than the sake of being a mother,
as the wind went through my hair
like when they buried you, alive
in my heart.
Hopeless flight
through lands of sorrow,
freedom raging in my eyes.
Hopeless fight
for peace tomorrow
when our souls will reunite.
I came to a halt
at the gates of the king,
fallen to a storm of arrows.
Had I died before,
I wouldn’t be beaten and sore
not have borne your absence more,
not a childless hopeless flaw,
not their childless hopeless whore.
