01 - Prologue: The Bride Wears
Black
Masks concealed the real mourning
No noise were allowed
Misfortune came with large steps
Enveloped the future into a shroud
The bride wears black tonight
Valleys got deeper and deeper
The summits disappeared in beautiful
Clouds a path in sick infinity
Deep abysses and beside it
Travelled in endless trains
Try to solve my existence
Sins, often pure temptation
Praised, hallowed, just lies
Voices to hear, inner futility
Be it true, be it my love
Coming to torture you...
...to torture you with my devotion
02 - A New Winter
"Don't care. It won't change
anything.
Perhaps I don't care, but it's not that easy to be sure
when your laughter still resounds in my ears
Don't care. Today I look at you through other eyes
and more and more it seems to be sure I was blinded"
Verdammtes leiden, saures lieben,
Verdammt das leben, dessen Schem
Verschwand, stillschweigend aber stetig,
Um nunmehr stumppes Nichts zu sein
Verdammt die Traume, die ich hatte
Heut noch nab'und haben verge
Sie sind nun schal, was ubrigblied
Sind stille Tranen auf der Erde
"Fur Hoffnung ist es me zu spat –
Dacht'ich – Doch was ist mir geblieben?
Wo ist die Hoffnung wo das licht?
Wo der Frubling nach langem Winter,
Der nun das graue Eis zerbricht?
Verdammt sind wir, verdammt zu lieben"
03 - The Phoenix / Spring
The Phoenix
"And from the ashes a Phoenix rose – with wings made of gold
it gently touched me, a touch of relief. I was ready to start
a new circle, hoping it would never come to an end.
"Never too late for hope" – the grey ice melted – slowly..."
/ SPRING
04 - The Dancer / Under A Summer
Sky
05 - Twilight
"First leaves touch the ground
Shadows are to be our company
An age draws near
In which days die away, die softly
When the light dwindles
When the curtain falls
The sun is conquered
Grey veils cover the world
And our hearts vanish in the void"
06 - Autumn Leaves
Been has her being
Urged to the dwelling of your ancestors
All the long way to their resting place
Now your place, nothing left, no more...
Hungering your love lies in a coffin
Can see the laughing vault
Ramdripping on darkened woods
Love's soul is fearlessly sold
Escaped from our world
My elegy accompanies you
She's buried under autumn leaves...
During a howling storm
Dusty claws are grasping at her
Thursting for infinity
This is not her destiny...
07 - Untergehen Und Auferstehen
Werde untergehen und auferstehen
Erhalten durch elixiere gemischt aus blut
Wer will mich halten, wer mich toten,
Wer solite sie loschen, meine glut?
Ich spucke feuer aus der tiefe meines Herzens
Da meine welt zugrunde geht
Mein hang zur qual hat sie zerstort
Auf knien das ende herbeigefleht
Hab'mich erborochen nachdem ich dich liebte
Als du nackt vor mit lagst
Ein zeichen demer augen, ein gutes
Geschenkt dir aus schmerzen, auch wenn Du klagst
Werd'dich vermissen, so tief der schmerz
Die angst macht alles noch viel schlimmer
Durch meine adern fliesst atzende saure
Gedanken statt worte, statt liebe Gewimmer...
Noch uber den wolken fliege ich
Die luft voll der vogel gekreische
Mein wille, er jagt mich, verfolgt mich
Ein bestie auf der suche nach faulendem Fleische
08 - To Learn Silent Oblivion
"Huge and ashen and overfull roll
the clouds
to crush the horizon and affliction drops
viscously as trip, depreves the mind I would
just need to lern silent oblivion from the world"
09 - A Winternight Depression
Fading light – I see the shadows
fall.
I hear the darkness sigh.
As it rises from a dead man's pillow.
Taking his last breath to the winds outside.
Threads of moonlight torch the ground.
Show forms a cover of silence.
Candlelight spreads its wings over my soul.
The flame illuminates the night.
Searching for answers, my mind's deceit.
With myself torn to fragments, my life means defeat.
Where is my saviour?
Why did he leave me alone?
In my winter frost palace where sorrows are sown.
I try to find a way deep into my dreams.
Try to flee from cruel reality.
To be suspended into a sea of emptiness.
And never, never wake up again.
Did you ever hear a dead baby crying in its cradle?
Did you ever see a black sun rising above a silent world?
Did you ever speak words no one would ever hear?
Did you ever scream out what you feel when you see the pain?
I see a new day, the candlelight dies.
The darkness meets the beauty of the light.
10 - Epilogue
Und unter ew gem eise begraben
Liegt die deele da und schreit
Muss sich sich nahren, muss sich laben
An des daseins dunkelheit – nichtigkeit
(And buried under eternal ice
There lies the soul and cries
Has to nourish, to refresh
On our being's darkness – nothingness.)
