Hymn to the Night
A candle shining bright
Your face shines in the fairly light
Around you is the dark moonlit night
Slowly I regain my nighttime sight
It is the night that brings the dreams
It is the darkness in which the freedom dwells
Your face and cheeks seem to be wet
Though your eyes show the purest love
What can I do for you, oh tell me,
That you, my Darling, can love again?
It is the that morning wakes you up
It is the morning that casts away your nightly dreams
Trust me and take my offered hand
I'll lead you to a lunar land
It is far and hidden in the stars
It is the land where we can love forevermore
It is the dusk that brings the night
But it is the dawn that brings the morn
I will love you until the end of time
Until the End of time I will stay with you
I will dry the salty water from your cheeks
By simply kissing away your tears
So, hold the nights in your days
For the morning will come for sure...
Sin Lies Within
On a summer's day
The birds have told
Of a cruel, treaty way
And the falling of the bold
Oh beware, beware
For sin lies within
They sung of brother's love
And of a beloved sacrifice
He has given, he the tough
But after all, it was not wise
Oh farmer beware
Do not fall for the sin
The bittersweet fruits of sin
Now will start to grow
They all lie in us within
And, oh, we can fall so low
You will be cursed
And cast forever out
The shepherd will be dead
And the farmer will go east
Never again he will be glad
Damned to have a bloody feast
The sin it starts to grow
Never give a chance to it
Not alive, but never dying
Feeling pain, knowing the fault
It is more than a nighttime crying
Only because the sin has called
The sin had dragged you down
Into a life of misery
Into a life of darkness
Into a life of fault
Why have you fallen for the sin?
The Ankh
White like marble,
Red like blood,
Black lines through the marble room.
The sign of life
In the middle of the room.
A girl's lying there.
Her eyes are closed, her heart is dead,
But words are still in her.
He said them more than once.
"I believe in you!"
He told her nightmares
And dark dreams,
Always knowing, what he was saying.
Now she's dying in the marble room,
Guarded by the sign of life.
About to Leave
Every tear you spilled for me
Every thought you had 'bout me
Every night you lay awake
Every smile you smiled at me
I won't forget it never ever
But I am about to leave
Please let me go and walk away
Though I have a reason here to stay
Never spill a tear for me
Never have a thought 'bout me
Never lie awake at night
Never smile a smile at me
I must forget it anyway
Since I am about to leave
I will go and walk away
And you are no reason for to stay
Africa
Wander in the desert sand
With heavy load
Animals around
Poverty you see
Destroy the houses
Heal the wounds
In a room
Poverty and war
Stand in endless lines
Wait for water
Thirst you feel
Poverty it is
Cry for your child
He will die
It is all around
In poverty is death
Feed the hungry
Help to survive
There are people who do care
Though poverty and war
Growing Cold
Growing cold to all their jeers
Weeping always silent tears
The friend you trusted fell so deep
Another reason there to weep
The words of aid ignored
Meeting one convinced heart
Placed your trust into the friend
Truth was always there to bend
Now it is a well known lore
No one there to carry anymore
Until you realized it was your trust
Placed into the wrong destroyed it fast
Took a mask, pretended hope
Around your neck you felt the rope
The soul and heart escaped scarred
Not the body stayed unhurt
Soon the last bearers of your trust
Decided you must change at last
Always crying salty tears
You ignored now all their fears
Until you fled across the sea
And you thought you were now free
But coming back you knew
It was all sure not true
They broke the valued gift so rare
And turned your hope into a mare
Always telling you to change
You knew it was outside your range
Hopes you had when coming back
Are turned into a worthless wreck
Understanding is not there
You retreat back in your lair
You grew cold to all their jeers
You still hold back your salty tears
But trust you know to keep
Until you do the daring leap
Lost Day
I feel the day
I see the night
I want the dawn
I know the dark
There is no end
Lost in the dark
It is an endless night
The sun's chariots are gone
The warriors of night surrounding me
I want to leave
Entering the dawn is what I want
The black moon around me
All the star-gates are now lost
No longer a crystal lake
That leads my way to Dragon's Lair
The way to my escape
I am lost
I search the day
I live the night
I chase the dawn
I hate the dusk
Where is the crystal lake?
Where has the dark twilight gone?
I taste the bitter-sweet
That are the fruits of sin
And dive into dark waters
Of the azure ocean calm
And will never find the dawn
Ocean Soul
The azure fields I do walk
Seeing wonders never thought
Diving deep into the sea
Never coming out again
Water water everywhere
The azure fields are always there
Dress in white and leave the land
Azurite is all you need
The oceans is so bright and calm
But can be deadly after all
Never think the sea is mine
It is fierce and it is wild
All rivers flowing there
A long long way they will go
To see the ocean, see the sea
To be freed forevermore
See the oceans and be free
Forget all pain, forget all grief
Only see the bluest azurite
Dive into and free yourself
Phoenix
A thousand nightmares
To sleep with eyes wide open
A rage deep within my soul
It gets stronger while we rest
All sweet dreams are now gone
With the wind they have all left
Only a last remain of fall is there
To tell us not forget
Holding on, feeling spring
I know it is just lost for me
Others dwell in spring, not me
Cold and winter is to come
Vastness, white and cruel
Dead to our world I'll enter
Returning I will not
My reasons left behind
I lost them long ago
In the darkest light of dusk
The light of moonlight's shadow shone on me
The barren lands are calling
Steady steps will take me there
Dreadless I will walk the way
Not even looking back
You can't hold me here
All my loved is over there
The emptiness is filled with long forgotten laughter
A crystal lake there is
Of broken faith and fallen hopes
The rain is made of dried and olden tears
Eternal twilight I will see
Face to face with all the sins
I will sleep and have my rest
To come like Phoenix from the ashes
Rest
Racing mind
Thousand thoughts
No time to rest
Must keep on
Silent screams
Dark outside
No warmth in here
Stop the cold
Tearing sound
Pounding pain
I can't stand it
Help me out
Curses heard
Laid to sleep
Final Silence
Slowing down
Sitting here
Rest is short
Oblivion
Give it now
Not to reach
It is lost
I'll never get
I forgot
Rage in me
No mercy
I want to rest
And I do
Tears
The cold inside
It is like ice
I want to cry
But tears won't come
I don't know what to feel
All the feelings are now gone
All the laughter has now ceased
But still - The tears won't come
Help me out
What should I do?
I am alone
But still no tears to come
I want it all to go away
The world to leave behind
To sleep and all forget
But there is no sleep and still no tears
No one cares
What I just feel
I want to talk
Then the tears would come
I want to cry, it is true
But not here in that grey
It is warmth I want to feel
But there the tears won't come
I hear something
A silent sound
A laugh away
Now the tears come true
I don't feel relieved
Although this water brings oblivion
But I can't forget it all tonight
Finally the tears have come
The cold inside
It stays in me
I stopped to cry
But tears did not help
I still don't know what I should feel
Still the feelings are all gone
No laughter has returned
Once again the tears are gone
The Universal Function
Rotation into nothingness
Having no control
The coordinates unknown
A path into the stars
People walking next to me
Parallel their way
Perpendicular so soon
The vertex lies ahead
The matrix of our life
Woven by the silver moon
The formula is of the stars
Millenniums have purified
The stellar world betrothed
A tragedy of heavens
The universal function
Unknown to us all
Trail of Ashes
Clad in darkness he is coming
A trail of ashes in his wake
The darkest night his haven safe
Destruction of the world his war
Dreams and wishes left behind
A band of heroes went for blood
To fight with arrow, bow and sword
Against the evil in their midst
With magic strong and steel so sharp
A demon on their world unleashed
The crowded city left in ruins
And death amidst the mighty ones
Inferno, necromancing debt
Brought sin into the hero's band
And then their hearts so weak
Surrendered well to darkness sweet
With darkness in his evil heart
He conquered soon the foreign world
The peasants, knights and kings so fair
Never found a way to darkness fight
Clad in darkness he is coming
A trail of ashes in his wake
And death upon the cursed world
Clad in darkness and in death
Fate
Like the moon her eyes
Stars shimmered in her hair
“Let us meet then in December.”
December came
She was not there
A single flake down the sky
January came and went
In February she wrote
“In Egypt I am.”
In March she came
With hair as wheat in summer
“I will stay with you.”
We were seventeen that year
Young and fair
“We will stay for forever”
Soon church bells chimed
For us and only for us
“Yes, I will”, she said
Few months passed in happiness
As fate struck in
“Death stands at our door.”
Withering and wilting
Her beauty faded
“Remember our promise.”
A grave covered with roses
And lilies she liked
“My dearest girl, I love you so.”
Darkness entered my world
The stars vanished in the night
“One day together again.”
