1. Intro

+ one whisper "The answer to all my questions..."
2. Lovebearing storm
Drowning, lost in the dark cold night
Where she needed me to stay at her side
For the first time I saw my want and will
By her dreams I was chosen to fulfill
Night by night into sleep he fell
Where the need for love gave me my own hell
In the deepest gloom of his misery:
“Will the light of real love ever shine for me?”
I’m the kingdom
I’m the crown
I keep beholding
Whatever is shown
My love is (made) forever
(For) you and me
“May the light of real love always shine for me!”
No more I’m lost in the dead of the night
We have found each other, a lover, a bride
No more lonesome gazing at the moon anymore
“In your heart I witnessed what my life is for!”
A lover’s promise, the test of time
My heart is yours, will yours be mine
When the storm rose over thy boat at sea
Thou were saving my life, and you cared for me
Beneath the sea I drowned in despair
Was it wise or not to take me there
But no long time passed and the truth did come
For each other we’ve shown up as the only one
A different kind of morning
Light is breaking and dawn over me
Embraced by your gentleness and wisdom
I turn free from sleep
May our hearts beat together
Make eternity shine
for a second of living
A (sweet) moment in time
And riding through the ocean
I see that there’s nothing to fear
For living is like dancing
In the heaven of dreams when you’re near
May the world fall apart now
May the ocean dry
We have seen what it is worth living (for)
For a moment in time
3. Silence
All those precious moments
Lost in space and time
For the only reason
She's not of my kind
Everything seems so small
When I hold her close
Everything great is mine
Even sunrise
Never to let me go
for another
Never to leave me blind
As the day is fading
And I rest beyond the shores
Sick of life, yet living
Brought to sleep by tidal force
Whatever it will take
To bring her body close
Whatever it will need
No tomorrow
Anywhere I go
This is not the end
But a world to leave
Live this time again
Before the dawn
Will end your sorrow
And make love again
a dream of love
Pretending hope
You could be everything
For me my friend
And then We will be
Before the sands of time
Can wipe away your tears
Come follow me
Into deeper seas
Where light is spent
For your healing
We will be everything
And then my friend
you know the meaning
Love will be
Live this time again
Before the dawn
Will end your sorrow
And make love again
a dream of love
Pretending hope
You could be everything
For me my friend
And then we will be
4. Mermaid´s wintertale
In nights when the moon shines
She’s full of unrest
Because her heart often cries
For some gentle caress
When dawn rises up
And she takes the first breath of the new day
She knows that not much she had left
Anywhere else would be more joy to find
Than here in this place where her memories unwind
Of summer that’s gone such a long time ago
Delusions confessed under cold winter snow
I do believe that my life is not mine
I’m weak and I fear that it will take sometime
To find somewhere to be
Where my heart can be free
For a moment of light surely waits there for me
Beyond the endless hallway to the soul
In the most scaring depth
Of this nightmare’s black hole
Gazing at freedom in white, fragile hands
She takes a first look at the first time she’ll dance
His divine embrace will enchant this occasion
His kiss will bring her to her knees if she dares
To open the gates to her most inner self
She will get more than ever she dreamt
Without a trace of a sound I will leave
And find love in the arms of the man of my dreams
A sailor, a fisher, a child of the sea
Doesn’t matter, as long he’s gentle to me…
Would anybody ever care for me?
For a girl that lives beneath the sea?
Would anybody ever hold my hand?
For a moment, for a while
5. Lords of the sea
Fighting their fear and facing the wrath
Of others to join them and flames to impact
No rules of engagement
No spoilers for violent desires
Hungry for power the beasts clash within
The walls of the townhall
Where soon one will sing
Of merciless battles
Fought by the lords of the sea
The beating fists
The fiery breath of the dragons
Fills the place with it's own scent
The scent of power
No mercy, no mercy!
For the faint at heart, the weak!
They're falling, they're falling!
But no one of them does weep!
Acting as if they were thirsty for death
Unfilled and still mighty their hunger for flesh
Bones cracking loud
When the end takes control of those living
Honor is asking a price much to high
when moments of agony soon pass them by
Victory got it’s own hell for them
As they defend it
"Driven by hate I feel for all of them
who take control of all my want
and all my will
I can't deny their end is near"
So my hero takes his final breath
Not a word left before he falls for me
„Failed to knock them down
I saw thy image crumble as they pass
your dead body lying on a stone
as your soul is drained within...“
Before thee, end thee, save thee, behold me...
Force thee, hate thee, kill thee, can't do that...
"Every moment I can get
to take a hold of my heart
I try to find a way to keep my life
a lasting second on the run"
Eye for an eye
Son for a son
Life for a life
Not!
Resist your hate!
6. Seduced like magic
She took away reality
And brought me to this place to see
I never thought that this could be for real
While often life is cold
And I’m sometimes feeling sold
There seems to be another realm
Where I can feel a higher sense
The way she brought me there
Was somehow wicked and obscure
But like a child I lost the doubt when I saw light
I could not understand how I did breathe
And opened eyes beneath the sea,
But my heart followed her call that took me away
Easily she got me done, this night
I never saw something like this before…
To prey I’m fallen, to seductive art
(of) a mistress of the warm sea at night
A witch of the waves
Storms can’t kill the faith in rainbows
But when the dawn does come you should
Wrap your arms around the right one
No need for nothing else I felt
And so I could let the ice melt
Between us and I took her really near
For a single moment that did take away
My sense for what is real
And what was just a great illusion of a dream
Addicted to her fingertips
I reached out for her hand, her lips
And finally her cloak did disappear
But when I took her in my arms
And held her close, I felt no heart
And found that she was nothing more
Than faking me to death
Reason’s light had got me back, again
So hard to wake, when all you
(thought you) “loved”, is gone
7. Eclipse
I still can feel your heartbeat
And what did you expect?
Anguish by loves or lusts relics?
The warmth of thy desire
Felt so cold, left thee to shame
a waste of all the time you spent to breathe?”
In between debris you’ll leave me
Broken hearted, cold as stone,
My world, you will be trading it for free
And I can see the morning rise
When you will see another dawn
The ashes of the sweet moments these nights
“How can you live with this concept?”
How could I live without my wrath?
“With deepest sorrow, dark as death…”
“I would give in to your world
If you’d take me by the hand
So far away this day might be, I’d wait…
Not to dare a single dream in me
I feel so bare without
The risk you never take
Means pain, can’t see…”
So you hit my door and think
That I’ll be on my way to keep
The wounds at heart wide open
As your prey?
And I can see this storm go by
Leaving me, exposed to shame
For wishes that we shared by nights and days
What do you think did I expect?
“A life in sorrow, dark as death?”
What do you think would I regret?
8. The quest
A misty morning, I’m awake
The storm has settled, past’s the rage
The fever of the wind is gone
The (first) beams of sunlight soon will come
I love the flood, I love the tide
The spinning hurricane’s alright
No need to mention the sea - lore
I own the wisdom of…
The sea I know
My bride and my disguise
The answer to all my questions
I’m a creature of the sea
Where I find everything I need
Of every star I know the name
The benefits of my bright fame
Whatever I’ve on mind will come
By day the moon, by nights the sun
As long as I will have a ship
I can and will sail ‘cross…
The sea I know
My bride and my disguise
The sequel of reality
From the stars above
She has come to sail the world
By her fate enforced to rule
In her veins the blood is of water and of salt
In her eyes the white is clouds
The finest wisdom I received
From deepest pits and my beliefs
In mystic spirit lies my kind
A world beyond control...
No need for reason in my mind
In lasting faith I do define
My world is filled with finest art
That nature made so kindly
9. Chasing the light
Freedom for all was the vision he had
Since the day he became the ruler there
And dark times did pass in this moment of light
For his reign brought the end of all the wrath
And he does not want anyone to be alone
Or feel like a lesser creature there
But a witches of the waves did take someone away
Who was far too beloved to get lost…
“Find him, save him, tell him, show him
Make him feel that he is not alone…
For my daughter want to love him
And to give his heart a home!”
“Through the sea he will hunt
Through the ocean ride
For it’s him she will blame
If he can’t save his life…
He can’t stop till he wins
For the oath of the king
Is the heart of the sea
Hunting hard, hunting free”
Sleeping by day, finding no rest by night
For a bright fire burning in his heart
Wishing for home as the first dusk sets in
Far away from his daughter’s gentle hand
Witnessing the face of unfulfilled desire
And leaving himself in loneliness
The fight will go on, till he gets what he wants
Nothing there will ever make him stop…
For both men have learnt the cold truth of this fight
Their friendship will last for their lives
10. Atlantis, farewell ...
Not fair
A tale for drowning souls on higher grounds
As even wishes play their game
It’s like the joy of lying naked in the sand
And yet no reason to constrain...
Sleeping as she took herself to the ground
While the questions are waiting in time
Praying for answers and moments that pass
On her shoulders the burden of light
Let her see her final morning
For a while she gets too far
For the lifespan of a teardrop
Will this sunrise take her heart
And a lapse of reason then
For the beauty of the end
“Fare thee well, my sweet Atlantis
For our paths will cross again
This goodbye now will not last
And the day of my return
Is so sure as it can be"
And she starts to smile again
