1. Enter the Cave
Reality died
With the setting sun
Chilling winds are breathing
In the trees
Voices whisper
The saga lives on
Imagination decides
What the eye is to see
Come forth o wanderer
Be brave
As you enter the cave.
2. Hunter in the Dark
The silent see; no rolling wavws
Yet in my soul are darkened caves
Something roaming in my mind
A creature from another time
The sea grows red as sun goes down
A voice cries out; I turn around
Hidden power not to see
Red horizon calling me
And I'm crying out in pain
I must have gone insane
Don't know what's dragging me; just know it's true
I don't know what to do
Must hold on; this can't be real
A strange illustion or a dream
Or is it madness
Finally
But the voices keep on calling me
They want to save me; set me free
Nature calling her children home
An exploding lust for the peace beyond
And I'm crying out in pain
I must have gone insane
Don't know what's dragging me; just know it's true
As my voice roars to the sky I know what to do
Now I'm one with the night; gone with the light
A hunter in the dark; and you will never catch me again
My blood is running wild; I cry up the sky
In light of moon
And I'm crying out in pain
I must have gone insane
Don't know what's dragging me; just know it's true
As my voice roars to the sky no more
It's gone; I'm here all alone
Was I really there
Or is it all in my mind
All in my mind
But then I hear; A beastly cry reaches my ear
I know a part of me is really out there
Yet I'm bound to live in my world
As you are in yours
But in my dreams I'll be
One with the night; gone with the light
A hunter in the dark; and you will never catch me again
Now I'm one with the night; gone with the light
A hunter in the dark; and you will never catch me again
My blood is running wild; I cry up the sky
In light of moon
One with the night; gone with the light
A hunter in the dark; and you will never catch me again.
3. Too Great Thy Gift
I'm freezing; I'm cold
I've fallen into this dark hole
Lights out; in darkness the fears unhold
Drown in waves of no meaning
Through the night I am screaming
Throw me a rope to hold
Empty is the crystal ball; still into emptiness I fall
If I could ride the clouds; if I could crush the hills
Would it mend what's growing chill
How shall I act not to be wasting time
Only a spark; a spark to swift
Too great thy gift
I know not what mighty powers
Granted me this life
But your crown's a heavy load
Lost in this pantomime
I could scream; but noone would hear me
If I could only believe
Empty is the crystal ball; still into emptiness I fall
If I could ride the clouds; if I could crush the hills
Would it mend what's growing chill
How shall I act not to be wasting time
Only a spark; a spark to swift
Too great thy gift
The madman's standing on the hill
Not hearing their laughs; to the sky he cries
You who gave me mind
I hail you, I cruse you
Hear me cry
Give me an answer; how shall I know
Which way to go
Through the road's ahead; too doubtful its bending
Stalling 'til death in fear of its ending
Empty is the crystal ball; still into emptiness I fall
If I could ride the clouds; if I could crush the hills
Would it mend what's growing chill
How shall I act not to be wasting time
Only a spark; a spark to swift
Too great thy gift.
4. Sorrow in Memoriam
Striding forever down the road; continuous stream of losses
Leaving wrecks at every turning; broken glass and crosses
Whispers in the trees and ghosts in the attic
Will the sailor ever reach the shore
Will we ever know if there is more
Which is the curse, which is the gift; let me touch the sky
When we are born or when we die
For the love that was gone; for the hiding of the sun
Let us hope for a better day
For your savior on the cross; for the worker who was lost
Let us hope for days when sorrow as glory will be
Just as sweet a memory
He who lost can always hope for better times beyond
He will regret, who lost, when convinced that he had won
Be there reason; be there healing for the burning in our souls
Be it the end will stop us from screaming
For in life we're dancing on coals
The one who will follow you through this game
Born, dying or going insane
I'm in pain therefore I am
Longing for safety when out of control
Longing for freedom when future's foretold
I'm longing therefore I am
Which is the curse, which is the gift; let me touch the sky
When we are born or when we die
For the love that was gone; for the hiding of the sun
Let us hope for a better day
For your savior on the cross; for the worker who was lost
Let us hope for days when sorrow as glory will be
Just as sweet a memory
Over yonder, far away
Always seeking a better day
Hunting the glory for sorrow to pay
I am; I am; I am
Therefore I am
She dances alone; in cages of ice
Mother and daughter; of glory and sorrow
Eternal beting; our path to tomorrow
True goddess; the flame of life.
5. Dreamwalker
He is walking in dreams
Not knowing reality's name
Still - is not real the fantasy
When believed in?
Through the shadows of what some call life
He is lighting his way
Not knowing if to kill or to cry
Pictures of unicorns on a hill
Pictures of rats in a street
Taking emotions to the extreme
Not knowing if to live or to die
Walking in dreams; not knowing reality's name
Not clearsighted; still a winner in his own game
Walking in dreams
Asleep but still awake
Walking in dreams
Will he die when morning breaks
As he talks to the clouds you name him; crazy
But wouldn't you like to know what he sees
He may not understand what you sat to him
But he understands the whispers in the trees
He has created a kingdom of his own
While you're created nothing
Nowhere to call home
How are you to decide if wrong or right
Is his world and the treasures there his finds
When there he finds peace like you will never see
'Cause when you lose your dreams you lose your mind
Walking in dreams
Asleep but still awake
Walking in dreams
Will he die when morning breaks
The diversity of reality is humanity not insanity
Holy are the crazy for they dream with open eyes
In this world where on the altar of logic
Our dreams we sacrifice
Walking in dreams
Asleep but still awake
Walking in dreams
Will he die when morning breaks
So pray for the dreamwalker
That he will make it though
He is the future; he is the future
For me and for you.
6. The Bird
I feel off light; light is my source
All evil thoughts and pathful memorties are washed away
By the radiance of golden spring
Standing as a flaming torch on the road of time
Past, present and future gathered in one force
Physical pleasure; summer is mine
I'm dying in the darkness
I'm living in the light
I'm but a song, a voice in the wind
And I feel like flying
The wheel has turned
The flame still burns
No more hiding under the ice
I'm but a song; the wind carries me on
The bird of light shall rise
I feed off ligh; light is my source
Past, present and future gathered in one force
Summer I greet thee
Thou art my time
And I feel like flying
The wheel has turned
The flame still burns
No more hiding under the ice
I'm but a song; the wind carries me on
The bird of light shall rise
As winter dies
Hot is the fire now burning
Bright are the songs they play
But when the winter spirits
Once more take the sun away
Will it be free
Will it be free
Will it be free.
7. The Wanderer's Farewell
Here I stand looking at the sky
It has never been so red before
Here I stand looking at the mountains
They have never been so tall before
Now the road lies ahead
Yes I'm heading on
But don't miss me when I'm gone
I might find what I seek
And one day I might be back
And then I'll save a prayer
That you'll be there
O brothers, you must think that I don't care
Yet you're the only ones I've never had
But you know that I'm a wanderer
I was born to walk alone
And now when spring is here
And in the glow of sun
The rivers flow
I must be gone
Farewell.
