I want to see where the sirens sing
Hear how the wolves howl Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific Dance in the fields of coral Be blinded by the white Discover the deepest jungle I want to find The Secret Path A bird delivered into my heart, so It`s not the end Not the kingdom come It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer Call of the wild In me forever and ever and ever forever Wanderlust I want to love by the Blue Lagoon Kiss under the waning moon Straying, claiming my place in this mortal coil Riding the dolphins Asking the mountains Dreaming Alaska The Earth can have but Earth I want to find... It`s not the end... Drown into my eyes and see the wanderer See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder |

We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you Far across the world The villages go by like trees The rivers and the hills The forests and the streams Children gaze open mouth Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes We're surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky We're drifting over icy Mountains floating by Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep We're walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly |

Sleep Eden sleep
My fallen son Slumber in peace Cease the pain Life`s just in vain For us to gain Nothing but all the same No healing hand For your disease Drinking scorn like water Cascading with my tears Beneath the candle bed Two saddened angels - in heaven, in death Now let us lie Sad we lived sad we die Even in your pride I never blamed you A mother`s love Is a sacrifice Together sleeping Keeping it all No sympathy No eternity One light for each undeserved tear Beneath the candle bed Two souls with everything yet to be said |

Riddler Riddler ask me why
The birds fly free on a mackerel sky Ask me whither goes the wind Whence the endless tick-tick stream begins Make me guess if the earth is flat or round Set a guessing if fantasies are unbound If tales aren't just for children to see That it's peace if sleep walks with me As you wish For kingdom come The one to know all the answers You think you dwell in wisdoms sea Still sweet ignorance is the key To a poet's paradise Challenge the Riddler and you will see... Riddler Riddler ask me why All mothers beneath the Earth and sky Hold their children's hands for a while Their hearts forever - yours and mine Make me wonder what's the meaning of life What's the use to be born and then die Make me guess who's the one Behind the mask of Father and Son As you wish... For nature hates virginity I wish to be touched Not by the hands of where's and why's But by the Oceans' minds As you wish... |

An old man by a seashore
At the end of day Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago The albatross is flying Making him daydream The time before he became One of the world`s unseen Princess in the tower Children in the fields Life gave him it all: An island of the universe Now his love`s a memory A ghost in the fog He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world Anchor to the water Seabed far below Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago So long ago So long ago This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind so long ago So long ago |

I want to have them all All those porcelain models If only I could make them fall Be my heart a well of love Flowing free so far above A wintry eve Once upon a tale An Ugly Duckling Lost in a verse Of a sparrows carol Dreaming the stars Be my heart a well of love Flowing free so far above In my world Love is for poets Never the famous balcony scene Just a dying faith On the heaven's gate Crystal pond awaits the lorn Tonight another morn for the lonely one is born |

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century Wistful oceans calm and red Ardent caresses laid to rest For my dreams I hold my life For wishes I behold my nights The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime I wish for this night time to last for a life-time The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you Sorrow has a human heart From my god it will depart I'd sail before a thousand moons Never finding where to go Two hundred twenty-two days of light Will be desired by a night A moment for the poet's play Until there's nothing left to say I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you.... |

I'm a priest
for the poorest sacrifice I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed You bathed in my wine Drank from my cup mocked my rhyme Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds Put a stake through my heart And drag me into sunlight So awake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer Swansong for the Wish of Night God it hurts give a name to the pain Our primr ose path to hell is growing weed Put a stake through my heart And drag me into sunlight So a wake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer Blame me it's me Coward a good for nothing scapegoat Dumb kid living a dream Romantic only on paper Tell me why you took all that was mine Stay as you lay don't lead me astray Tell me why you took all that was mine Stay as you lay don't lead me astray Wake up mow the weed You'd be nothing without me Take my life if you have the heart to die You bastards tainted my tool Raped my words played me a fool Gather your precious glitter and leave me be The Great Ones are all dead And I'm tired too |

Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you Dressed as one A wolf will betray a lamb Lead astray the gazers The razors on your seducing skin In the meadow of sinful thoughts Every flower`s perfect To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear A sin for him Desire within A burning veil For the bride too dear for him A sin for him Desire within Fall in love with your deep dark sin I am the Fallen You are what my sins enclose Lust is not as creative As its discovery To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear A sin for him...

A ballad of dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Ancient mariner in a sea of sand The burning beauty his tomb to die for 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Horizon`s swarming with death Run! Heaven has a darkened face Dunes are soaring, as on a chase Caravan of the cursed Chasing him across the waves May he now rest under aegis of mirage As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen |

Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow The frozen figure Crossed by tracks of wolves An encounter symbolic yet truthful With a hungry choir of wolves An agreement imemorial to be born Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany all charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire promise between the tameless And the one with a tool Tonight the journey From a cave begins I want to hunt With the tameless heart I want to lear The wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams For our children flow Wrapped in Beneath the northern lights From my cave I watch the land untamed And wonder if some becoming season Will make the angel melt in shame I want to hunt With the tameless heart I want to lear The wisdom of mountains afar I want to hunt With the tameless heart I want to lear The wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams For our children flow |

[bonus track]
A star falls down from the darkened sky Where new worlds are born and die Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow What it means is soon to be known Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu To honor this moment even the heavens cease Giant spiders learn how to swim With whales they form a united kin Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound Trilobite & Anymalocharis The prey and the hunter Survival of the fittest Fall of Man Seadrops foam all empty human skulls Those on the shores of Atlantis Darwin's resurrection is witnessed By turtles he used to play with Healed and happy She oversees The Mother The tyrant's return to the sea |

They came for him
one winter's night Arrested he was bound They said there'd been a robbery his pistol had been found They marched him to the station house he waited till the dawn And as they led him to the dock he knew that he'd been wronged You stand accused of robbery he heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away for ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and the seas a prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear but yet he dare not say Just where he had been that fateful night a secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend he'd spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away he swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas back in her arms again he'll be Over the hills and far away Each night within his prison cell he looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away she prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas back in his arms again she'll be Over the hills and far away he swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas back in her arms again he'll be Over the hills and far away she prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas back in his arms again she'll be |

A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too I just might reward myself with a beer or two This inn the place of many romantic tales On the loft women offer their sales But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone A slave she is but for me a rose undone Hear me sing Watch me dance Play that lute of thine And share with me this dance As she danced my eyes began to shine There she was the maiden so divine How could I approach her with my outlook so poor Her beauty being much more than I could endure So I asked if I could sing a chanson With a language of ancient and of lore Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags Soon were the melodies heard by everyone Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us this tale With a clap of hands The stories long - forgotten we still know Performing our skills wherever we go I end my story as I receive a kiss From my girl the dearest Beatrice Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us the tales Which the music will keep alive |

One more night
To bear this nightmare What more do I have to say Crying for me was never worth a tear My lonely soul is only filled with fear Long hours of loneliness Between me and the sea Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be one with the waves Ocean Soul Walking the tideline I hear your name Is angels wispering Something so beautiful it hurts Long hours of loneliness Between me and the sea I only wished to become something beautiful Through my music through my silent devotion Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be one with the waves Ocean Soul Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be one with the waves Ocean Soul |

내가 아닌 다른 여자의 향기... Welcome home darling 집에 온 것을 환영해요, 여보 Did you miss me? 당신 나를 그리워했나요? Wish to dwell in dear love? 소중한 사랑 안에서 살길 바랐나요? Touch my milklike skin 내 우유같은 피부를 만져요 Feel the ocean 바다를 느껴요 Lick my deepest 내 가장 깊은 곳을 핥고 Hear the starry choir 별들의 합창을 들어요 Rip off this lace 이 레이스를 벗겨내요 That keeps me imprisoned 그것이 나의 구속을 풀어줄 거에요 But beware of the enchantment 그러나 매혹하는 것을 조심해요 For my eroticism is oblivion 내 에로티시즘은 망각이랍니다 Old love lies deep you said 오래된 사랑은 깊은 곳에 있다고 당신이 말했죠 Deeper shall be the wound between your legs 깊은 것은 당신 다리 사이를 상처입힐 겁니다. |

Asks the boy with a spark in his eye Know why the nightingale sings Is the answer to everything Taking a step to the world unbound Spinning my fantasies all around Freed from the gravital leash I swear the heaven's in my reach Dancing with the spirit of the air In this ocean so so open and fair Making love to the gods above On my maiden voyage so bold Landing safely to the blue lagoon Don't know if this is the earth or the moon Joy of living is no more a mask The Eden I found will forever last Migrating with the geese My soul has finally found peace Doesn't matter that man has no wings As long as I hear the nightingale sing... |

Toll no bell for me Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me Send me no shepherd to heal my world But the Angel the dream foretold Prayed more than thrice for You to see The wolf of loneliness in me not my own will but Yours be done You wake up where's the tomb Will Easter come enter my room The Lord weeps with me But my tears fall for you Another Beauty Loved by a Beast Another tale of infinite dreams Your eyes they were my paradise Your smile made my sun rise For give me for I don't know what I gain Alone in this garden of pain Enchantment has but one truth I weep to have what I fear to lose You wake up where's the tomb Will Easter come enter my room The Lord weeps with me But my tears fall for you I knew you never before I love the pain the hope beautiful one Have made you mine 'till all my years are done Without you The poetry within me is dead |

Fare thee well
little broken heart Downcast eyes lifetime loneliness Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone Constant longing for the perfect soul Unwashed scenery forever gone Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I'll be forever yours Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I'll be forever yours No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I'll be forever yours Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone Whatever walks in my heart |

Heaven today is far away
To a place I once called home Heart of a child ??? As another love grows cold Once my heart beat to the Rhythm of the falling snow Like there below the river now flows A stream on mounds of magic snow For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had Given today, with all the ??? To understand the weight of the world Faded and torn, I'll never learn My weak and hoping heart For the child, for the night For the heart I once had I believe I have foreseen Everything I could ever be For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had Time will not heal a dead boy's scars Time will kill For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had |

You were my first love
The earth moving under me Bedroom scent, beauty ardent Distant shiver, heaven sent I'm the snow on your lips The freezing taste, the silvery sip I'm the breath on your hair The endless nightmare, devil's lair Only so many times I can say I long for you The lily among the thorns The prey among the wolves Someday, I will feed a snake Drink her venom, stay awake With time all pain will fade Through your memory I will wade Barely cold in her grave Barely warm in my bed Settling for a draw tonight Puppet girl, your strings are mine This one is for you for you Only for you Just give in to it never think again I feel for you |

Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Would you do it with me Heal the scars and change the stars Would you do it for me Turn loose the heaven within I'd take you away Castaway on a lonely day Bosom for a teary cheek My song can but borrow your grace Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Come out come out wherever you are So lost in your sea Give in give in for my touch For my taste for my lust Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Your beauty cascaded on me In this white night fantasy Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me Ever felt away with me Just once that all I need Entwined in finding you one day Ever felt away without me My love it lies so deep Ever dream of me |

6:30 winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn A rose by any other name Eva leaves her Swanbrook home A kindest heart which always made Me ashamed of my own She walks alone but not without her name Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children's game There's no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field Mocked by man to depths of shame Little girl with life ahead For a memory of one kind word She would stay among the beasts Time for one more daring dream Before her escape, edenbeam We kill with her own loving heart Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children's game There's no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field |

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me This is the birth of all hope To have what I once had This life unforgiven It will end with a birth No will to wake for this morn To see another black rose born Deathbed is slowly covered with snow Angels they fell first but I'm still here Alone as they are drawing near In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung It is the end of all hope To lose the child the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me Wounded is the deer that leaps highest And my wound it cuts so deep Turn off the light and let me pull the plug It is the end of all hope To lose the child the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me This is the birth of all hope To have what I once had This life unforgiven It will end with a birth Mandylion without a face Deathwish without a prayer End of hope End of love End of time The rest is silence Mandylion without a face Deathwish without a prayer End of hope End of love End of time The rest is silence It is the end of all hope To lose the child the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me This is the birth of all hope To have what I once had It is the end of all hope To lose the child the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me It is the end of all hope To lose the child the faith This is the birth of all hope |

Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean
A snowy owl above the haunted waters Poet of ancient gods Cries to tell the neverending story Prophecy of becoming floods An aura of mystery surrounds her The lady in brightest white Soon the incarnate shall be born The Creator of the Night Deep dark is His Majesty's kingdom A portent of tomorrow's world There shall the liquid gice Him power The red-eyed unborn lord Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters The cradle of infinite gloom The spell to master this Earth Carven on an infant's tomb "I will die for the love of the mermaid Her seduction beauty and scorn Welcome to the end of your life - Hail the Oceanborn!" "Disgraced is my virginity Death has woven my wedding dress Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew For you are the cradle of the image of god" "Brave now long rest is sweet With me here in the deep" "I prayed for pleasure wished for love Prayed for your-" "Never pray for me!" "Who the hell are you for me But a mortal dream to see?" "This apathetic life must drown Forever just for me" "Leave me be Leave me be Leave me be...ee...eeee" "Drom cradle to coffin Shall my wickedness be your passion" We shall come to set the dolphins free We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas The eternity will befin once again in peace |
