A star falls down from the darkened sky
Where new worlds 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 |

Angels Fall First
An angelface smiles to me Under a headline of tragedy That smile used to give me warmth Farewell - no words to say Beside the cross on your grave And those forever burning candles Needed elsewhere To remind us of the shortness of your time Tears laid for them Tears of love tears of fear Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows Oh Lord why The angels fall first? Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ I'll never understand the meaning of the right Ignorance lead me into the light Needed elsewhere... Sing me a song Of your beauty Of your kingdom Let the melodies of your harps Caress those whom we still need Yesterday we shook hands My friend Today a moonbeam lightens my path My guardian |

A nocturnal concerto
밤의 협주곡 Candlelight whispers me where to go 촛불이 내게 어디로 가는지를 귓속말해 주었죠 Hymn of gathering stars as my guide 나의 가이드인 별을 모으는 것에 대한 찬가 As I wander on this path of the night 내가 이 밤의 길 위를 헤맨 것과 같이. Embroidery of the stars 별들의 자수 Undress my feelings for this earth 이 지구를 향한 내 감정들을 벗겨내고 Send me your salva to heal my scars 내 상처를 치료하기 위해 내게 당신의 구조를 보내고 And let this nakedness me my birth 그리고 이 무방비 상태의 나를 탄생시켜 주었죠 Macrocosm poured its powers on me 대우주는 그것의 힘을 나에게 부어주었죠 And the hopes of this world I now must leave 그리고 이 세계의 희망들인 나는 이제 떠나야만 하죠 The nightwish I sent you centuries ago 내가 몇 세기 전에 당신에게 보낸 소원의 밤 Has been heard by those Who dwelled in a woe 고뇌 속에서 살았던 저들이 불러왔던. The distance of our bridal bed 우리 혼례의 침대까지의 거리 Await for me to be dead 내가 죽을 때까지 기다리는 Dust of the galaxies take my hand 우주의 먼지가 나의 손을 잡고 Lead me to my beloved's land 나를 가장 사랑했던 땅으로 이끌어요 Departed by the guillotine of death 죽음의 길로틴에서 죽었고 I received a letter from the depth 나는 심연에서 온 편지를 받았죠 The dream of my lover it carried inside 내가 사랑하는 이의 꿈이 그것을 내 마음속으로 가져왔어요 Caressed by the sharpest knife 가장 날카로운 칼을 껴안은 I asked you to be my wife 당신에게 나는 내 아내가 되어달라 했죠 Rays of the setting sun 지는 태양의 빛이 Were my tears wept upon promises undone 이루어지지 않은 약속 때문에 내 눈물은 흘렀죠 Come to me 내게 와요 Make me believe to you and your love again 내게 당신과 당신의 사랑을 다시 믿도록 해 봐요 Above the universe 우주 위에서 Beneath the Great Eye 위대한 눈 아래에서 I shall desire you forevermore 나는 당신을 영원히 바랄 겁니다... |

Remember the first dance we shared?
Recall the night you melted my ugliness away? The night you left with a kiss so kind Only a send of beauty left behind Ah dear friend I remember the night The moon and the dreams we shared Your trembling paw in my hand Dreaming of that northern land Touching me with a kiss of a beast I know my dreams are made of you Of you and only for you Your ocean pulls me under Your voice tears me asunder Love me before the last petal falls As a world without a glance Of the ocean's fair expanse Such the world would be If no love did flow in thee But as my heart is occupied Your love for me now has to die Forgive me I need more than you can offer me Didn't you read the tale Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? Don't you know this tale In which all I ever wanted I'll never have For who could ever learn to love a beast? However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember beauty is found within ...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you... |

In the sheltering
shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet The Elvenpath Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf folk is calling me Tapio Bear king Ruler of the forest Mielikki Bluecloak Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him At the grove I met the rest the folk of my fantasies Bilbo Sparhawk goblins and pixies Snowman Willow trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight |

What does the free fall feel like?
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... |

The scent of a woman was not mine...
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. |

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 |

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 |

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 night The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime 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 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...

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 |

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 |

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 |

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... |

We're walking in the air
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 rI'vers 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 it's sleep We're walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us 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 |

Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters All this burden is killing me Distance is covering your way, Tears your memory All this beauty is killing me Oh, do you care, I still feel for you So aware, What should be lost is there I fear I will never find anyone I know my greatest pain is yet to come Will we find each other in the dark My long lost love [One More Night To Live] Safely away from the world In a dream, timeless domain A child, dreamy eyed, Mother's mirror, father's pride I wish I could come back to you Once again feel the rain Falling inside me Cleaning all that I've become My home is far but the rest it lies so close With my long lost love under the black rose You told I had the eyes of a wolf Search them and find the beauty of the beast All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes I wish I had one more night to live A saint blessed me, drank me deeply Spitting out the misery in me Still a sinner rapes 1000 saints Sharing the the same hell with me Sanest choice in the insane world... Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers [Christabel] "Oh, sweet Christabel. Share with me your poem. For I know now, I'm a puppet on this silent stage show. I'm but a poet who failed his best play. A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending To each of his poems." |

I was born admist
the purple waterfalls I was weak yet not unblessed Dead to the world Alive for the journey One night I dreamt a white rose withering a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness I dreamt all my future Relived my past A witnessed the beauty of the beast Where have all the feelings gone Why has all the laughter ceased Why am I loved only when I'm gone Gone back in time to bless the child How can I ever feel again Given the chance would I return Why am I loved only when I'm gone Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time I've never felt so alone in my life As I drank from a cup which was counting my time There's a poison drop in this cup of Man To drink it is to follow the left hand path Why am I loved only when I'm gone Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time 'Where have all the feelings gone Why is the deadliest sin to love as I loved you Now unblessed homesick in time soon to be freed from care from human pain My tale is the most bitter truth Time pays us but with earth And dust and a dark silent grave Remember my child Without innocence the cross is only iron hope is only an illusion And Ocean Soul's nothing but a name The Child bless thee And keep thee forever |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Crownless again shall be the queen
Trophy on her grave still remains unseen A boat on the river confessing the sins The Riddler revealing the deep hidden things Crownless again shall be the king A gull covered in oil with a broken wing A hitcher on a road alone and lost Iron sharpens iron - a truth that once was Mine is the Earth and the sword in the stone Mine is the throne for the idol One fleeting moment and it is all gone Crownless again Will I fall? Roaming on razor-sharp castles Ruling all but myself (Now my night is laid to sleep) One fragrant rose worth ten times what I am A crippled begging a coin braver than I ever was Reflection from me - Devil dressed in white Chasten the being Become what I once was Mine is the Earth... |

Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend So much to live for, so much to die for If only my heart had a home Sing what you can`t say Forget what you can`t play Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes Walk within my poetry, this dying music - My loveletter to nobody Never sigh for better world It`s already composed, played and told Every thought the music I write Everything a wish for the night Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin Died for the beauty the one in the garden Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom Failed in becoming a god Never sigh... "If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength. Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life" "Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone Show me love, hold the lorn So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I`m sorry Time will tell (this bitter farewell) I live no more to shame nor me nor you And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..." A lonely soul... An ocean soul... |

shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet The Elvenpath Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf folk is calling me Tapio Bear king Ruler of the forest Mielikki Bluecloak Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him At the grove I met the rest the folk of my fantasies Bilbo Sparhawk goblins and pixies Snowman Willow trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight |

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 immemorial to be born Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany all charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire A 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 learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for our children flow Wrapped in furs 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... |

For whom the gun tolls For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind Even the dead cry - Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don't care Orchid kids, blinded stare Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed "Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend" "Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!" "In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" "Your praying is in vain It'll all be over soon" "Father help me, save me a place by your side!" "There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves" "Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones" "Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game" "Run away with your impeccable kin!" "- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..." Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors' guilt In us forevermore 15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy: "How were we supposed to know?" 4 pink ones 9 blue ones 2 black ones - In memory of the Redeemers 20.4.1999 |

A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth A holy harbour - Orion Nautical ascension to the firmament Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral "Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee" Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb "Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee" Reveal your face to me and guide me through the Stygian fields Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve Your will Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance Ruling with the scythe of death you tear our philosophies apart An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars "Open thy veins for my venom Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue So shalt thou join the empyrean circus Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance In this twilight cathedral Shall I wed thee, O Bride of the Netherworld" Sailing on the distant seas... Join my soul the Hunter in the sky |

We're walking in the air
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 |

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 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 Wanderlust Look into my eyes and see the wanderer See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder Look into my eyes and see the wanderer See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder |

Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him I knew them all In the fields of dying oath: I'd kill them all to save my own Cut me free Bleed with me Oh, no One by one We will fall Down down Pull the plug End the pain Run'n fight for life Hold on tight This ain't my fight Deliver me from this war It's not for me it's because of You Devil's instant my eternity Obey to kill to save yourself Cut me free... "I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell. My path made up by their torn bodies. Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust... Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore" They wait for me back home They live with eyes turned away They were the first ones to see They are the last ones to bleed "The ultimate high as all beautiful dies. A ruler's tool, priest's excuse, tyrant's delight... I alone, Great White Hunter. I'll march till the dawn brings me rest. 10th patriot at the gallow's pole!" Cut me free |

A nocturnal concerto
밤의 협주곡 Candlelight whispers me where to go 촛불이 내게 어디로 가는지를 귓속말해 주었죠 Hymn of gathering stars as my guide 나의 가이드인 별을 모으는 것에 대한 찬가 As I wander on this path of the night 내가 이 밤의 길 위를 헤맨 것과 같이. Embroidery of the stars 별들의 자수 Undress my feelings for this earth 이 지구를 향한 내 감정들을 벗겨내고 Send me your salva to heal my scars 내 상처를 치료하기 위해 내게 당신의 구조를 보내고 And let this nakedness me my birth 그리고 이 무방비 상태의 나를 탄생시켜 주었죠 Macrocosm poured its powers on me 대우주는 그것의 힘을 나에게 부어주었죠 And the hopes of this world I now must leave 그리고 이 세계의 희망들인 나는 이제 떠나야만 하죠 The nightwish I sent you centuries ago 내가 몇 세기 전에 당신에게 보낸 소원의 밤 Has been heard by those Who dwelled in a woe 고뇌 속에서 살았던 저들이 불러왔던. The distance of our bridal bed 우리 혼례의 침대까지의 거리 Await for me to be dead 내가 죽을 때까지 기다리는 Dust of the galaxies take my hand 우주의 먼지가 나의 손을 잡고 Lead me to my beloved's land 나를 가장 사랑했던 땅으로 이끌어요 Departed by the guillotine of death 죽음의 길로틴에서 죽었고 I received a letter from the depth 나는 심연에서 온 편지를 받았죠 The dream of my lover it carried inside 내가 사랑하는 이의 꿈이 그것을 내 마음속으로 가져왔어요 Caressed by the sharpest knife 가장 날카로운 칼을 껴안은 I asked you to be my wife 당신에게 나는 내 아내가 되어달라 했죠 Rays of the setting sun 지는 태양의 빛이 Were my tears wept upon promises undone 이루어지지 않은 약속 때문에 내 눈물은 흘렀죠 Come to me 내게 와요 Make me believe to you and your love again 내게 당신과 당신의 사랑을 다시 믿도록 해 봐요 Above the universe 우주 위에서 Beneath the Great Eye 위대한 눈 아래에서 I shall desire you forevermore 나는 당신을 영원히 바랄 겁니다... |

The days were brighter
Gardens more blooming The nights had more hope In their silence The wild was calling Wishes were whispering The time was there But without a meaning Away, away in time Every dreamas a journey away Away to a home away from care Everywhereas just a journey away The days departed Gardens deserted This frail world My only rest ? The wild calls no more Wishes so hollow The Barefoot Boy Weeping in an empty night Away... Cherish the moment Tower the skies Donat let the dreamer Fade to grey like grass No falling for life A gain for every loss Time gathered me But kept me flying "For this gift of dream I must pay the price With the loss of lifeas pleasures" |

Beauty and the Beast
Remember the first dance we shared? Recall the night you melted my ugliness away? The night you left with a kiss so kind Only a send of beauty left behind Ah dear friend I remember the night The moon and the dreams we shared Your trembling paw in my hand Dreaming of that northern land Touching me with a kiss of a beast I know my dreams are made of you Of you and only for you Your ocean pulls me under Your voice tears me asunder Love me before the last petal falls As a world without a glance Of the ocean's fair expanse Such the world would be If no love did flow in thee But as my heart is occupied Your love for me now has to die Forgive me I need more than you can offer me Didn't you read the tale Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? Don't you know this tale In which all I ever wanted I'll never have For who could ever learn to love a beast? However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember beauty is found within ...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you... |

Elvenpath
(In the sheltering shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet... ...The Elvenpath) Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf-folk is calling me Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on The way to the lands... As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight |

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 |

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 immemorial to be born Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany wall the charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire A 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 learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for our children flow Wrapped in furs 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... |

She Is My Sin
Take heed, dear heart 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... Bless me, undress me Pick your prey in a wicked way God I must confess... ...I do envy the sinners |

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 |
