"Sleeping Sun"

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 heartFrom 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...

I wish for this night-time...



"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 a perfect one

To paradise with pleasure haunted,

Haunted by fear

A sin for him

Desire within, Desire within

A burning veil

For the bride too dear for him

A sin for him

Desire within, 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,

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



"Bless The Child"

"I was born amidst 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 childThink of me long enough to make a memory

Come bless the child one more time

How can I ever feel again?

Given the chance would I return?

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 ManTo drink it is to follow the left hand path

"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 & dust, and a dark, silent grave.

Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only

iron,

hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...

The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"



"Ever Dream"

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

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

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

Your beauty cascaded on me

In this white night fantasy

"All I ever craved were the two dreams I shared with you.

One I now have, will the other one ever dream remain.

For yours I truly wish to be."



"Wish I Had An Angel"

Deep into a dying day

I took a step outside an innocent heart

Prepare to hate me fall when I may

This night will hurt you like never before

Old loves they die hard

Old lies they die harder

I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

Your Virgin Mary undone

I'm in love with my lustBurning angel wings to dust

I wish I had your angel tonight

I'm going down so frail 'n cruel

Drunken disguise changes all the rules

Old loves they die hard

Old lies they die harder

I wish I had an angel…

Greatest thrill

Not to kill

But to have the prize of the night

Hypocrite

Wannabe friend

13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!

Last dance, first kiss

Your touch my bliss

Beauty always comes with dark thoughts

I wish I had an angel…



"Bye Bye Beautiful"

Finally the hills are without eyes

They are tired of painting a dead man's face

red with their own blood

They used to love having so much to lose

Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins

[Chorus:]

Did you ever hear what I told you?

Did you ever read what I wrote you?

Did you ever listen to what we played?

Did you ever let in what the world said?

Did we get this far just to feel your hate?Did we play to become only pawns in the game?

How blind can you be, don't you see?

You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting

Bye bye, beautiful

Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white

Blindfold for the blind

Dead Siblings walking the dying Earth

Noose around a choking heartEternity torn apart

Slow toll now the funeral bells

"I need to die to feel alive"

[Chorus]

Bye bye, beautiful

It's not the tree that forsakes the flower

But the flower that forsakes the tree

Someday I`ll learn to love these scars

Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words

How blind can you be, don't you see?

That the gambler lost all he does not have...

[Chorus]

Bye bye, beautiful



"Amaranth"

Baptized with a perfect name

The doubting one by heart

Alone without himself

War between him and the day

Need someone to blame

In the end, little he can do alone

You believe but what you see?

You receive but what you give?

Caress the one, the never-fading

rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow

Caress the one, the hiding amaranthIn a land of the daybreak

Apart from the wandering pack

In this brief flight of time we reach

For the ones, whoever dare

You believe but what you see?

You receive but what you give?



Caress the one, the hiding amaranth

In a land of the daybreak

Reaching, searching for something untouched

Hearing voices of the never-fading calling



Caress the one, the hiding amaranth

In a land of the daybreak



"Storytime"

It was the night before,

When all through the world,

No words, no dreams

Then one day, A writer by a fireImagined all of Gaia

Took a journey into a child-man's heart...

A painter on the shore

Imagined all the world

Within a snowflake on his palm

Unframed by poetry

A canvas of awe

Planet Earth falling back into the stars

I am the voice of Never, Never Land

The innocence, the dreams of every man

I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,

A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,

Every chimney, every moonlit sight

I am the story that will read you real,

Every memory that you hold dear

I am the journey, I am the destination,

I am the homeThe tale that reads you

A way to taste the night,

The elusive high

Follow the madness,

Alice you know once did



Imaginarium, a dream emporium!

Caress the tales

And they will dream you real

A storyteller's game,

Lips that intoxicate

The core of all life

Is a limitless chest of tales...






I am the story that will read you real,

Every memory that you hold dear



Searching heavens for another earth...






I am the story that will read you real,Every memory that you hold dear

"Ghost River"

It's a long road down the river deep 'n wild

Every twist and turn a wonder-dale

It's a scary ride we'd give anything to take



Let yourself bleed

Leave a footprint on every island you see

Hey you, child of rape, the riverbed awaits

Snow white, pitch-black, your life such strife

Heavenward, deep down, I'll show you such sightsBelieve it, we live as we dream / scream

"He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

The river wild will take your only child

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

He will go down he will drown drown, deeper down

If you want me, then do come across"

What is it you dream of, child of mine?

The magic ride, the mermaid cove?

Never met a kinder heart than yours

Let it bleed

Leave a footprint on every island you see

"I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss

Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge

Come across

Death by a thousand cuts

Believe it, we live as we dream / scream"

"I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass

I am the fear and abuse, the leper children

Every eye sewn shut"

"We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down

The river wild will be our last ride

We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down

The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town"



Beautifully shy as you are

Never lose your heart

And do come across

"Planet Hell"

Denying the lying

A million children fighting

For lives in strife

For hope beyond the horizon

A dead world

A dark path

Not even crossroads to choose fromAll the bloodred

Carpets before me

Behold this fair creation of God

My only wish to leave behind

All the days of the Earth

An everyday hell of my kingdom come

The first rock thrown again

Welcome to hell, little Saint

Mother Gaia in slaughter

Welcome to paradise, Soldier

My first cry neverending

All life is to fear for life

You fool, you wanderer

You challenged the gods and lost

Save yourself a penny for the ferryman

Save yourself and let them suffer

In hope

In love



This world ain't ready for The Ark



In hope

In loveMankind works in mysterious ways

Welcome down to my Planet Hell



In hope

In loveThis world ain't ready for The Ark



In hope

In love

Mankind works in mysterious ways

"The Kinslayer"

For whom the gun tolls

For whom the prey weeps

Bow before a war

Call it religion

Some wounds never healSome 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

"Nemo"

This is me for forever

One of the lost ones

The one without a name

Without an honest heart as compassThis is me for forever

One without a name

These lines the last endeavor

To find the missing lifeline

Oh how I wishFor soothing rain

All I wish is to dream again

My loving heart

Lost in the dark

For hope I'd give my everything

My flower, withered betweenThe pages 2 and 3

The once and forever bloom gone with my sins

Walk the dark path

Sleep with angels

Call the past for help



Touch me with your love

And reveal to me my true name

Oh how I wish

For soothing rainAll I wish is to dream again

My loving heart

Lost in the dark


Oh how I wish

For soothing rainOh how I wish to dream again

Once and for all

And all for once

Nemo my name forevermore

Nemo sailing homeNemo letting go

Oh how I wish

For soothing rain

All I wish is to dream again

My loving heartLost in the dark


Oh how I wish

For soothing rain

Oh how I wish to dream again



Once and for all

And all for once

Nemo my name forevermore

"The Siren"

A lady with a violin playing to

the seals

Hearken to the sound of calling

Who tied my hands to

the wheel?

The zodiac turns over me(Come to me)

Somewhere there my fate

revealed

I hear but how will I see

I tied myself to the wheel

The winds talk to my sails,

not me

(Come to me)

Somewhere there my fate



revealed

I hear but how will I see

"Romanticide"

Godlove and rest my soul

With this sundown neverending

The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail

I am the decadence of your world

I am an eider covered in oil

Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore

Tell me why No heart to cry

Hang me high

The music is dead, the amen is said

The kiss of faith is what I beg

A loving heart 'n soul for sale

Tell me why...

Leave me beAnd cease to tell me how to feel

To grieve, to shield myself from evil

Leave me be

Od of lies is killing me

Romanticide

Till love do me part

See me ruined by my own creations

Leave me be...Dead Boy's alive but without sense

I need a near-death experience

Heart once bold

Now turned to stone

Perfection my messenger from hell

Wine turns to water



Campfires freeze, loveletters burn

Romance is lost

Lord, let me be wrong in this pain

Temporary pain, eternal shame

To take part in this devil's chess game

Spit on me, let go, get rid of meAnd try to survive your stupidity

"Ghost Love Score"

We used to swim the same moonlight waters

Oceans away from the wakeful day

My fall will be for you

My love will be in youIf you be the one to cut me

I'll bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world

Brings me to thee

Into the blue memory


My love will be in you

If you be the one to cut meI will bleed forever

Into the blue memory

A siren from the deep came to me

Sang my name my longing

Still I write my songs about that dream of mine

Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again

That siren carried him to me

First of them true loves

Singing on the shoulders of an angel

Without care for love n' loss

Bring me home or leave me be

My love in the dark heart of the night

I have lost the path before me



The one behind will lead me

Take me

Cure me

Kill me

Bring me home

Every wayEvery day

Just another loop in the hangman's noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home

Every way, every day

I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve

Of you and me

Forgive the adoring beastRedeem me into childhood

Show me myself without the shell

Like the advent of May

I'll be there when you say

Time to never hold our love


My love will be in you

You were the one to cut me

So I'll bleed forever

"Higher Than Hope"

Time it took the most of me

And left me with no key

To unlock the chest of remedy

Mother, the pain ain't hurting me

But the love that I feel

When you hold me near

The hopes so high

The choirs were vast

Now my dreams are left to live through you



Red Sun rising

Drown without inhaling

Within, the dark holds hard

Red Sun rising

Curtain fallingHigher than hope my cure lies

Passiontide

An angel by my side

But no Christ to end this war

To deliver my soul from the sword

Hope has shown me a scenery

Paradise poetryWith first snow I'll be gone

Your death saved me
