In the Mist 05:24
Voices... voices... Rising... rising... Comfort me when I dive in sorrow Meandering through this lonely moor And if a doleful thought is drawing near Could you obscure it make it disappear? Would I fade myself if I step into the mist? Engulf the unribboning light Escaping through my seams Into the alluring gray and white Transient world you build This bleary ruins the reveries Of your dim kingdom now concealed In the mist Now concealed And in such stillness I can hear The songs that silence brings Lost veiled memories echoing in the mist Lost veiled memories... Unraveling the mysteries of your dim kingdom Lost veiled memories... What if we rise? What if we rise from the Underliving? In the mist Settle, rest, then move on further on Don't be sad, unfurl

Oh we sing with the voice of the wind the songs that silence brings We lay in blackness so old and weary unquiet and waiting gushing darkness turn to dim amber dying fireflies Oh so deep we´ll embrace you to sleep with our bitter lullaby Come my child and join these hands Come my child and join this chant What if we rise? what if we rise... from the Underliving? Dormant in the corner of your eyes always there always hidden to your sight In denial wearing a disguise we´re not living but we do feel alive What if we rise? What if we rise from the Underliving? We´ll entice you. We´ll lead you astray We might like you, point the right way We will lure you. We love to play with our favourite toys our favourite games Silhouettes in a shadowplay You ignore we control every thought you spare Oh we sing with the voice of the wind wearing our torn and foggy shroud and thus we hold world´s invisible strings Leave not trace and leave no sound veiled unseen we swarm around What if we rise? what if we rise... from the Underliving? Dormant in the corner of your eyes always there always hidden to your sight In denial wearing a disguise We´re not living but we do feel alive What if we rise? What if we rise from the Underliving? Worn and tired withering, waning Old as time in a void so vast We lay in blackness so old and weary Gushing darkness turns to dim amber dying fireflies But what if we rise...?

It´s always hard for the first or the last lamb in a row Oh yes we know It's even harder for the odd ones out that are not ready to go with the flow But ahh... ahhh the wild side grows strong in me It breaths so sweet and alive And now it's drumming louder and louder captive by the beat of Homeland Call Homeland calls And then I'm running in sweet release joyful bliss when I feel these coils unwinding Bearing only my freeborn spirit and startled gaze I'm back into the woods Oh I could howl to the moon Feel the thrill of the wild side And keep on running It's a long, long way Cut those roots out from where you don't belong Dust can settle You shall not And leave them in their cages spinning in their wheels You were always wild and free And now it's drumming louder and louder Follow unafraid to glimpse beyond Further on Calling And then I'm running in sweet release joyful bliss then I feel these coils unwinding Bearing only my freeborn spirit and startled gaze I'm back into the woods Oh I could howl to the moon Feel the thrill of the wild side Just the thrill of the wild side And keep on running It's a long... It’s a long, long way

First the cradle then the grave as sure as the souls just flow from birth to the death Denial is poison growing jaded their truth is a lie in disguise A tainted future darkened, blurred like fallen suns through stained glass But all through the long way You can escape A greater truth is waiting there Oh this knot´s so tight I can´t scarcely breath the weight of sorrow is clouding over me Release your hold on me But then I cry and scream when no one hears Some thoughts just lie too deep my words are lost and scattered in wild winds Show me! Show me just a fleeting glance of light Let me leave all things behind Guide me there is nothing left for me to stay Lead me just one step ahead All through the long way All through the long way The greatest truth no shortcut is safe But there´s a path that only few can see A wondrous Otherworld of secrecy Show me and unleash that flaming and fierce light now unfolding from inside And save me! Oh save me just before my reckless heart may rend Lead me just one step ahead and unfurl! Don't be sad Unfurl! and don't be sad Unfurl... and live through the long way! live through the long way!

Don't be sad 03:58
No, you can´t catch the wind as you can´t hold the tide but you will find out soon who you really are Keep on searching, searching... ...a frail hope to become And stand strong stand still Don't be sad Hold back that bitter tear you just shed Don't quail We´re here just at hand and kindle your spirit with the softest of your smiles Then we´ll hide that gift within your heart so you know you´ll never be alone you'll hear us in the howling gale Oh child just breath these words in Don´t be sad Unfurl Do not grieve Become
6.
Come back my thrill looming out the stirring feelings you ignite Wake up my will get rid of the ropes that grabbed you so tight Been suspended by these fraying bonds but now I'll untie them all Lost veiled memory You´re feeding the seeds of those words I never said now joining into poetry Dreams that won't come true are deepening roots that break through my core Oh they grow, they shape entwined in my mind´s eye Buried deep in my minds eye Do not waste your time struggling to deny those things that are clear in your mind's eye Do not fight against the reason to believe all is real... The shivering truth a verse my sore lips can´t help to recite and in my solitude it´s odd melody sways over my heart pulsing wild, untamed beset by this curse again...! Doubts I never hold are conquering me by fright with thoughts I once forgot like ether gathering it all The last remnant of my plan to set free the echoes haunting my head Oh they grow, they shape entwined in my mind´s eye And they tear, they scratch, they yearn... Such uncanny gift cannot be denied so it's safely hidden in my mind´s eye Treasured in a place that I can only find buried deep in my mind´s eye

Off the Lane 03:56
A warning for a curious girl... I got lost off the lane where the woodlands get dark and skeleton hands hang from bare and twisted branches swaying in a sinister dance they swirl, they swirl knotting their shadows over me spiraling Call me! Call me from the Dark! oh I shall find no rest until you come! Call me! Call me by my name! that mossy stone shall never be my grave! I just followed their trail into their hidden lair Oh broken heart come and play with us -they said We can gather all your shards -they sung Join them so you can feel complete a whole again All you must do is to decline the light of sun Oh catch me! catch me now! don't let me fall into a world I'll never be I never really was Tangle me and lift me in your arms Shelter me and cloak me with your gnarled dead boughs now that I'm lost off the lane A warning for all curious girls led astray A warning for all curious girls led astray I should have gone through the long way You should have gone through the long way No shortcut is safe
8.
Storm 04:24
Voices... Voices... rising Take me with you I only try to fly Dreams are Dreams but the dreams are dreaming Shadows in the sky lightnings in the clouds Sullen turmoil stirring thunder’s roars aloud I’m the Dream, I am not the dreamer I don't want to hide I wait spellbound with my eyes open wide my feet stuck to the ground Who dares...? - Storm wails I will be spreading my seeds as I travel with the winds In the spinning heart of the gale I will see the world through the eye of the storm This lifeless land drinks from your breast as you relieve its thirst I'll be spreading my seeds as I travel with the winds I see a world unknown through the eye of the storm. A silver ghost that rides upon the frothy waves And breathing life that catches every drop of rain Who dares? - Storm claims And every spirit is unrest but when the tempest wakes I'll be spreading my seeds as I travel with the winds... spreading my seeds as I travel with the winds... In the spinning heart of the gale I will see the world through the eye of the storm Though featherless and hurt... I only try to fly
9.
Kill this lifeless stillness that set ablaze my sorrows Hum once more this lull song and rock me back to sleep Rise your cries and whispers Fight resentful silence and scare the muted advent of the Aftermath
10.
Voices, Voices... Rising... Rising... Further on... Do you ever wonder what those faceless phantoms are trying to tell you when they knock your window? Weeping strings oh can´t you hear them howling? Then that dreary hiss when at my door they're pounding through the holes of my unshielded soul I can hear them rising on their wings Oh we sing with the voice of the wind Oh we sing with the voice of the wind Voices, Voices... Rising, Rising... Voices rising in the wind But you can´t catch the wind But you can´t catch the wind
11.
Hush and then you'll hear the songs that Silence brings
12.
I'm wandering alone in the silent snow heading back to the North where old things untold icy and cold melt and go in a sunless dawn Black canvas now covered with colourful strokes painting the Heaven´s Vault Oh Northern light! Cleave this deathless night lingering above embroidering the sky Oh Northern light! Weave the wispy haze to behold that eerie beauty in a daze Painting the Heaven´s Vault Oh Northern Light! cleave this deathless night lingering above embroidering the sky
13.
Dry your eyes, oh lost child, No one heard you cry Hold still, time might ease that weight upon your heart Night can trick you when darkness brings that old forgotten fear It drinks you to the marrow, a load that doesn't allow your feet to run away And lies spread on lies, but no one seems to care, at least it looks that way... I know the sun will rise, and it will shine the same for sinners and for saints... Oh Morning Light ! Don´t delay! I pray for all the souls in doom oh Morning light don’t delay I pray for all the souls to bloom I guess I have to learn the lessons life may bring the way that things can turn Face your fate even if it's unfair there's no one you can blame And lies spread on lies and no one seems to care at least it looks that way... I know the sun will rise, and it will shine the same for sinners and for saints... oh Morning Light... don't delay!
14.
Oh please... please... do not forget me I dread to think I'll cease to exist Please, please... do not discard me I know somehow I shall persist ‘Cause I cannot hatch into that ominous barren land where you rid of all the things that your mind has banned Will I emerge as butterfly into the vibrant daylight? or am I doomed to be the moth as colourless as before? just like a thought that dies at the dreams door So grab me, you know I'm not meant to last Then plot me and make me live So grab me, you know I'm not meant to last Then plot me and make me live ´Cause I cannot stay within this motionless netherworld within my chrysalis cold Like a thought that dies at the dreams door that dies at the dreams door I could have been all that I’m not anymore So grab me, you know I’m not meant to last Then plot me and make me live So please... please... do not forget me!
15.
Hold on, little one there is one last hope waiting to be found Yet it will escape again like a frightened bird at the faintest sound So hold on, little one! Just a flickering flame that barely burns too many breaths upon one only candle They all crave to find one But it's always out of reach when we pursue it drifting further as we stand upon the fall without one One last hope a snowdrop on my lips melting with my breath That one last hope that never lasts too long until it's gone again What would you do for one last hope when all is lost? I'd do it all! Just hold on, little one! there is one last hope waiting to be found yet it will escape again like a frightened bird at the faintest sound Hold on little one if you stop looking you will find it
16.
Are you here still dwelling in the heart´s abode? deeply embedded in the soul And the delightful time we shared left a resilient imprint held so dear just as the sound of little feet can fill the hollow when it´s all still Such energy words cannot convey those moments we cherish not to forget a small and tiny thing is not devoid of meaning something really big You have broken all your earthly bounds to become the brightest star Will you be our compass when we´re lost within the dark? the golden warmth that shone through your sweet smile A lantern that can light the blackest night Totonika´s smile
17.
Sweetest companion, my solace, my sheer precious pearl I feel your bond tearing strong and still from that side of the veil And I can recall your mirage when all fades into gray Building your memory it feels that you're only one dream away Dandelions are floating in evergreen fields Those yellow flowers incoiling to buds gently inviting to sleep Good night Kira, good night Kira Oh I shall wait for you all life long Until we gather I'd live and die over and over again for you my light Good night Kira, now rest my love I wish I could cradle you in my arms pretend that you´re here and you’re still alive But then when I think it's time to say good bye I feel a glimpse of your presence that glides by my side And dandelions are floating in evergreen fields those yellow flowers incoiling to buds gently inviting to sleep I let you go I let you leave Though I shall wait for you all life long till the end and beyond Good night Kira, Good Night Kira
