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

The Underliving
04:50
|
|||
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...?

Feel the Thrill
04:28
|
|||
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

Through the Long Way
06:20
|
|||
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

In my Mind's Eye
04:40
|
|||
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

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

The Aftermath
02:17
|
|||
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
|

The Wind Song
03:56
|
|||
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

Ode to the Silence

Hush and then you'll hear
the songs that Silence brings

Northern Lights
04:11
|
|||
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

Morning Light
04:00
|
|||
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!

At the Dream's Door
03:00
|
|||
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!

One Last Hope
03:33
|
|||
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

Totonika Nova
02:06
|
|||
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
|

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
