Memories fade
Oh I just try to scream
Noone may hear my cries
It's so quiet in here
But if my memories fade...
memories fade... away...
Away... Away...
won't you take my pain away?
Away... Away...
won't you take my pain away?
Oh if I try to scream
don't leave me aching here!
come to release me!
Oh if I try to scream
so loud you'd even hear
Oh if I try to scream away!
Tears I cannot save
when I fall into the silence
with its freezing voiceless songs
(whispering) lower than a sigh
Darling don't be afraid
of this dreadful scary darkness
it just tries to take your pain away
Away... away...
won't you take my pain away?
Away... Away... to forget
the grief that I once felt
Oh if I try to scream
don't leave me aching here!
come to release me!
Oh if I try to scream
so loud you'd even hear
Oh if I try to scream away!
I wish I were safe
back in my shell
out beyond the furthest end
far away

Ancient Shadow

|
Ancient shadow, come!
I feel your spirit is around,
I feel your cold breath on my cheeks!
I am hopeless, in despair
lift my head and see you're not there
Once I saw your radiant face,
I fell in love and lost my head
Please, don't let me think you don't care
Oh Ancient shadow, come to me!
Whisper love words in my ears
Sigh and sing and let me feel.
Take away this hollow fear away from me
Ancient shadow, come!
Light this darkness, Come!
Soar through the night on spectral wings!.
Here's where my journey begins.
Give to me the gift of light.
Oh, Dream-weaver from the past,
Heal my broken heart with your love.
Once I saw your sparkling eyes,
Freezing flames shining inside
Trapped my soul within your sight
Ancient shadow, come to me.
Knock on my door. I'll let you in.
Hold my hands, please don't leave me.
Scratch my walls and let me know
You're standing very close... to me
Ancient shadow, come to me!
Whisper love words in my ears.
Oh, come back. Oh please don't leave me.
Sigh and sing and let me feel.
Take away this hollow fear away from me
Ancient shadow, come!
I'm still waiting, come!
I'm still waiting! Ancient shadow come!

But If you Go
03:23
|
|||
|
You've become my sweet obsession
Sometimes a gift, sometimes a curse
I hear no other voice than yours
Why do I feel so weak and so unsure...
If I can ask for more?
We both know certain feelings have no name
But do we fight? or do we pray?
Oh fate may bring another chance again!
My heart explodes in joy then hesitates
Feels like beating to death
I won't question how long it may last
But I wonder if you still care for me
Let me worship all the time we have
And remember you're always free to leave
But if you go away from me
Please let me think at least
That if I lose all faith in myself
You're there to believe in me
If I lose all faith in myself
You're there to believe in me

The Willow's Lullaby
02:50
|
|||
|
Beware ...
Beware ...
Go to find a safer place to rest
When you hear the willow's hiss
Beware if you dare dream neath its leaves
Beware, go to find a safer place
It mourns the forest that it once dwelt
It mourns the birds that had left their nests
And flew away ...
When the willow sings half alive
It releases all the pain it hides inside
If you hear its song alone
You fall sleep and your soul is gone
This willow has bitter heart
This willow has bitter soul
So...
Beware...

The Call of the Nymph
04:38
|
|||
|
Down here I hardly see the world through water lilies
Rounded and edged distorted silhouettes
Under the waters my graceful being suspended
By a rope of weeds bound so tightly to my waist
It's so silent down here I can only hear
The hissing murmur of the distant river
It's so freezing so cold come to me my dear, my dear...
Won't you dare to break the glassy surface
Of this shady pond?
There's no reason to feel fear if your heart is wise and pure
Are you afraid it is not?
Where do you hide?
Where do you go?
Why do you run away?
It seems it was ages ago
I last saw the shining sky
How many souls I may devour
To become a dragonfly?
And fly high
Down here I hardly see the world through water lilies

Nothing
04:07

|
There, if you're there
you may be out there
Oh There may be a way
Please, be back to me!
I wish, I wish I could die right now
cos I cannot feel anything at all
I wish, I wish I could die right now
lay my back and rest
now i sink so deep
and I would sell my soul
if you're back
Oh I am nothing
nothing but grief
nothing you care about
Oh there is nothing
nothing but ghosts
nothing but aching thoughts
Oh I am nothing
now that I am nothing for you
Nothing
nothing you miss
nothing but silence
nothing but me
and there is nothing
nothing but void
nothing but anger
and my lost hopes
and there is nothing left
now that I am nothing for you
Oh I am nothing
Now that I am nothing for you
but you know...
moths fly to light
when they're blind in delight
But you don't know...
...I feel like nothing... nothing

Haunted
03:51
|
|||
|
My crumbling walls groan and complain
the ivory gleam is now turned to grey
no steps on my dusty floors
No one sleeps in the musty bed
I feel alone and desolate
Deprived of the splendour of the elder days
my baleful halls... an ode to decay
the piano still plays itself
that off-key melody
that makes the shadows dance and boil
in that frantic ball
Shelter of the nameless gods and ghostly shades
the wild moan of wind warns I shall not be dwelt in…
…in the starless... dismal nights...
... I am... haunted
The garden grows wild
the ivy crawled and hid all the gates
and pallid blooms of rancid scent
took place when roses withered away
The abyss of nightmare lurks in each hole
and things unseen behind every door
but I cannot help but miss
the laughter of children
oh come again... cross the fence... to play with me
(Hide and seek)
All the yearning sins and secrets I may keep
still invoke and build that hideous fantasy
ah everyone knows... I am... haunted
And centuries run...
this rotten core will never fall down
laid my foundations deep in the ground
Defiant and silent I shall await....
while everyone says...
I am... haunted

Nightmare
03:37
|
|||
|
You want me to fail
But you can’t have me
When darkness falls
and creeps upon me
half awake
or half sleep
may I ask you
wistful wraith....
what do you long for?
Shades
with spider fingers
cast a spell
a curse that lingers
but long ago
I shed this nightmare
to be forlorn
(And when I deny you..)
You appear before my eyes ...
deceive me with your lies
and drain my will to drink my tears...
feast on my deepest fears
You're coming in disguise
pretending to be a friend
and though I don't believe
You still will come when all the lights get dim
Vanish into oblivion
go and leave me alone!
Go back where you belong!
Go!
(gasping)
I can’t move, I can’t shout
my hands are tongue are tied with fright
Without defense I cannot fight
The horrid things that come at night
But I see your shadow crawls
like ink your cloak unfurls
a cloud of rags as black as coal
jumps over me to stain my soul!
But you can't steal it from this shrine
You can't take it cos it's mine
You want me to fail...
But you can't have it
You're not real...! Go!
When darkness falls ...
And nightmare comes
/ghostly whispers/
Liar, Deceiver
I won't lie to you
Stay the night with me. Haunt me
Child, do not distrust me
I'm forsaken, forgotten
dream of me
remains of myself ...Nightmare

The Realms of Twilight
03:15

Child of ours
you remember us
though we yearn to know
will you tomorrow?
Your spirit sour
you were so sweet
Now you're growing old
and full of sorrow
And time takes flight so fast
the days of games and joy
are gone in a blast
The days we gaily glew
like white stars in the dusk
playing in the realms of twilight
Ephemeral but true
so wild and so sublime
our shimmer crossed the sky
and then started to fade
Oh don't you miss now your invisible friends?
Sweet child of ours you know we wish you well
the time has come now to tell you fare thee well
And when you feel your light dies down
just call our name
and we´ll be back to keep your blaze
oh safe with us
glowing again in the realms of twilight

Lament
02:23
|
|||
|
I moved the moon to grow the tides
just to leave myself drifting in the waves
And I devoured the light of sun
made it black to blind my eyes
and see what eyes can't see
I'll break the root of every tree
and spoil the life from seeds
and curse lands to decay....
I'll make the rivers run back dry
I can't find what I lost
just pebbles, bones and dust
No one stays...
Nothing lasts...
It aches, how deep it aches
It hurts, how deep it hurts
aches…

The Voice of the Night
03:10
|

|
I swear I’ve heard…
the voice of the night
It’s a gloomy place
But I need to rest
I’ve roamed away my entire life
At the very end my old aching eyes
Desert the day, can’t stand the light
And now I think I hear
The voice of a thousand million stars
The night… the voice of the night
Night, Oh Night
If I find at last my shelter in your arms
Will you let me in and stay?
Do you swear you’ll take me there?
Oh I’m not afraid and I’m still alive
Night, Oh Night
There’s a riddle to be solved within the dark
And there’s a miracle in each sound
That heals my scars now that I’m hurt
And Now I can hear the sweet owl’s lullaby
The night, the voice of the night
Will you let me find my song among those notes?
Golden sun is hidden and moon caress is cold
Will you let me find my song among those notes?
My heart needs to get warmer and it can’t wait for dawn
It can’t wait for dawn
The voice of the night…

I'm Right Here
04:41
|
|||
|
I imagine I lay quietly in your bed
I see you're sleeping, but you cannot sense my gaze
How could you see me invisible as I am?
Then I nestle, try to clasp you round the waist
and feel you're breathing resting my lips upon your neck
How could you feel it... (feel me, feel me now!)
intangible as I am?
But I'm right here and I'm so brave
I dare to love you. I dare!
I imagine...
Oh my mind just flies so wild!
The words I utter seems to get dry in my mouth
How could you listen inaudible as I am?
Are you deaf not to hear my words?
Are you blind not to see me around?
Are you just heartless?
But if you're scared, dare open your eyes
If you're slept, let me wake you up
You may curse your soul if you deny me
Just imagine I'm right here

Sueño Muerto
03:55
|
|||
|
En la tierra donde el aire encadena
Ahí yazco iluminada por la etérea luna llena
y su rostro fantasmal me invita a descansar
pero me advierte que no voy a despertar
pero ¿a quién le importa ya?
¿Quién ha reclamado mi alma de piedra?
Mi corazón no late y las manos se me cierran
atrapando en vano el tiempo...
Y es mi sueño el que roe mi alma
el que apaga las estrellas
Es mi sueño el que sufre y se calla
cuando se hiela en mis venas
Mi sueño muerto...
dentro de mi...
Lo oigo gritar ...
...olvidado entre tinieblas
Es mi sueño el que hiere y desgarra
y se aferra a la existencia
Lo he perdido en el abismo y no lo encuentro
Ha sucumbido en el silencio y no lo tengo
y es que sólo ha de salvarme ya
encontrar un sueño nuevo
Ah, mi lamento
ha volado lejos, se lo llevó el viento
y ahora vuelve susurrando ¡niña en pie!
aquí está tu nuevo sueño
Ahora vuelve susurrando... ¡Niña, en pie!
Aquí está tu nuevo sueño
Translation into English
In this land where air is like a chain that traps you
There I lay illuminated by the ethereal light of the full moon
And its ghostly face invites me to rest
But it warns me I'm not going to wake up
But who cares anyway?
Who has claimed for my soul of stone?
My heart doesn't beat anymore my hands are closing
Trying to retain time in vain
My dream is tormenting my soul
extinguishing the light of stars
My dream suffers and keeps silent
When it gets frozen in my veins
My dead dream
inside of me
I hear it crying...
It's forgotten in the gloom
It's my dream, hurting and tearing
as it grasps its own existence
I have lost it in this abyss and I can't find it
It has succumbed into silence and I don't have it
Now I can only be saved
if I find a new dream
Ah, my lament
has flown far away carried by the wind
A wind that now comes back whispering to me "girl stand up!
Here's your new dream"
Now comes back whispering to me... "girl stand up!
Here's your new dream"

Now the dream is over
yet another dream is still to come
Now I'm daring face my dream, dreaming... Dream!

Wisp and Sentinel - compilation for Faerieworlds
by Louisa John-Krol
supported by 4 fans who also own “Ancient Shadows”
Louisa John-Krol is probably one of Australia's most prolific musicians (not to mention a true storyteller in the traditional sense of the world), and yet she deserves to be better-known. This sampler — featuring some of her best work from the Prikosnovénie era (and before then) along with tracks previously unavailable anywhere until now — is a welcome way to get acquainted. I would also recommend it to any live-streaming musicians seeking to build their folk / faerie repertoire.
