1. Orchestrated Screams
I arrive (Awake?)
I lie under the long dead trees
that stand so tall but lifeless.
Though, they still seem to grow
and talk to me
for they are a part of my soul.
The wolves sing,
I remember their cries
from the dream.
They sang so beautifully,
orchestrated screams.
Shadows move around me,
they have found me,
but within in time
I must leave once again.
Stars shine on the evening sky,
the fog grows thicker.
Shadows cast
by the pale moonlight,
drowned in the mist.
Sing for me the most
profound music of sorrow,
for your song must guide me back.
My withered flower,
I will not disappoint you.
I shall be there when
the ghosts haunt your sleep.
Your soul is deep,
and full of unknown dreams.
Sleep tonight and dream of me...
And at dawn you will know your destiny...
2. Lilja
Stjörnur skína bjartar í nótt,
líkt og þúsund skínandi tár á næturhimni.
Þessi nót er sú nótt sem mun færa mér yfirvöldin.
Þeir gráta... englar Guðs í paradís!
Ég sé björtustu stjörnuna falla,
hún fellur í átt að mér.
Ég finn mátt minn aukast.
Ég finn sál mína styrkjast.
Ég er hér, einn með mínum eina vini,
nóttinni, henni ég get tryst.
Trú mér hefur hún verið.
Hún opnar sér fyrir mér.
Aðeins hún getur tendrað mitt sálarbál.
Því ferð mín virðist eilíf, mín leit er eilíf.
Stjarnan fellur áfram í mína átt.
Það er sem himinn opnast
og út kemur hún, hvítklæddur engill.
Kominn til að hleypa mér inn á ný?
Svo falleg rödd hvíslar í huga mínum.
Varir hennar hreyfist ei...
"Ekki vera hræddur, þú ert ekki einn.
Ég skal gæta þín á þinni leið.
Höfuð skaltu bera hátt
og þú munt finna himnaríki!"
Hún hverfur á braut hins mikilfengna himins.
Hún er það eina sem ég sé.
Enn á ný er ég einn og yfirgefinn
reikandi um myrkrið sem blindur væri...
Sálarró tekur yfir líkama minn,
aldrei hef ég verið jafn ákveðinn.
Ríki himnanna verður mitt!
Hvað er nafn þitt?
3. How Can The Hollow Dream?
My Inner sanctum unveiled in vain
before you, the soulless.
Deceiving are your eyes to me,
they make me see reality in my dreams.
Grant me the sleep of ecstatic dream
to keep the memory in the
dark depths of my heart.
Awake I must remember the path
to escape from the light of day...
When I have lost the path,
with contempt I cut my own hands.
Now my soul has bled its last drop of blood
and I am ready to live empty with you.
Soulless, I believed you are my soul-mate
for you have made me deeply hollow inside.
Still your eyes are deceiving to me.
Could you find a soul emptier than me...?
I lie bloodless in despair,
waiting for your return.
I know you will not fail me
for our hollow souls are one.
I look deep into the eyes of the storm
that screams above me.
I do not fear the growing tempest
for it knows that in the end I will prevail.
Tell me now, do I need you?
proceed this journey?
I think we both do know
I will end up here in the end.
Only a glimpse it takes my eyes
to bring me back here.
Forever I am to tread on thorny paths.
but to night I fly on the wings of a dream.
Dream of beauty never to be seen.
(Your beauty lies in my agonized scream)
You can kiss me to night
and abandon me
when I have fallen asleep.
Ignore my cries, but when you call
I will creep on bleeding knees.
Will you call again or is this the end...?
(Towards my sanctum)
I have begun wandering
and I will never unveil it again.
Cry for me - of despair begotten.
Cry for me - of life forgotten.
(Bring me peace)
And your song comes
howling with the night wind
and the storm takes me away.
Now your ghosts haunt me...
4. Despair Unveiled
Emptiness, hungry you walk with me
even though I am not enough to ease your hunger.
Loneliness, a fulfilled feeling to feed with my agony.
Despair, you guide me through the darkest night.
Though hungry you are not you make me see
that I am still alone, and alone I shall forever be.
Hope, my friend, the bringer of dreams,
the bringer of disappointment.
The dreams wither away
but return unveiling their disguises.
Night, my only true friend,
the horizon of my soul.
hatred, you clothe me in the cold air of the night.
The distant horizon seems brighter
but the storms of the past screams before me.
Though these plains I have so often travelled
they are forever changing.
In the cold darkness that lies ahead of me
shine vast, challenging eyes.
Warning me of the illusions to come...
I look back and see
the moon shining bright over the cliffs.
Where the wolves slept so peacefully
after orchestrating my dreams.
Though so far, it seems so close to me
And I know I will return within long time.
When the curtains are dropped
I behold my despair unveiled.
And I am ready to return...
They come at me to feed upon my wretched flesh
as I lie bloodless in a bliss.
