Lyrics


1. Weeping willow's weeping

Come down, luminary sun
Come down into my arms
Drowsy whispers the willow
While haze softly veils the elder trees

Come down, heart-stirring sun
Come down you are much too late
The fawn lies asleep in its lair
While your afterglow is wandering across the fields

Weeping willow's weeping
Woeful are the tempers of night
And my heart is still bleeding
A poets muse that's out of sight

Come down, untiring sun
Come down and take a rest with me
Under the shelter of stars glowing softly
In the depths of infinity

Countless flames shall rise to starlit heaven
In remembrance of her beauty
The silent cascade on midnight firmament
Sparkles as once the tears of departure
So I write down the rhymes of a bitter moon
And lay between the lines the whispers of the woods
As the cooling summer breeze,
Strayed in darkened mist is cursed to announce winter
It shall take away these words to you
A midnight ride straight into your heart - to make you feel

Weeping willow's weeping
Woeful are the tempers of night
And my heart is still bleeding
A poets muse that's out of sight


2. Farewell my beloved

Now that you are far away from me
You still dwell on me
Close to my heart, perpetually on my mind
Now that you are far away from me
And I have been down for so long
Some things just won't fade with time

So I bid my last farewell
But always remember me
Farewell my beloved

My love dies in your eyes and rises like a phoenix
Your passion burns in me like the evening sun
A twilight's caress - warm and beautiful
The feelings are endless

The fragments of love are grieving since that time
And I hold inside that broken promise
Poisoned by a rosethorn's stab I remember you in deepest mourn
And I wonder if you're also crying that night

When the echoes of hours become silent
And moments will never return
Roses turn to an image of oblivion
And all joy is dying in my patient dreams

A heart lies asleep ... but I still want you

In emotional chaos
We hide behind joyless masquerade
To suffocate the broken-hearted feelings
But all is lost in helplessness

A heart lies asleep ... but I still want you

So I bid my last farewell
And I will always remember
Farewell my beloved


3. Ballad for the drowned one

I saw you walkin down the aisle
Not with me right by your side
Your contentment trembles me
My every tear a desperate plea
Did I ever fall apart?
I never meant to bind my heart
I never meant to ...

More often our paths crossed
But your love was never lost
Sometimes glimpse says more than words
But we never went to thirds
There were times that I was cautious for you
Knowing it would never be
Being right was never so vicious before
Now that you are never coming back
Clearest mind will turn to black
Think of all that is behind
Ended with my love maligned

I see you hold another hand
From all twosome I am banned
Leads resignedness to betray
Momentous words you would't say
Did you ever fall apart?
You never played the honest part
You never meant to ...

Since with grief I was distraught
Many fights I haven't fought
I've been searching all my live
To prevent my fiends revive
Face down watching the world turning
On my path now come what may
A decision that is feeding my addiction
Half-dreamed visions rise and fall like seasons
Letting me entral to pursue what really matters
As the picture shatters

Now you warm another bed
And my coldness widely spread
In my eyes the taste of night
As I leave your virtous bride
Now I'm on to fall apart
I heralded my depart
... It didn't save me


4. Mirrorwaters

Through collonades in green,
Here I strife, there I wonder
The hunting horn is calling,
Its sound soaks my deepest yearning

A nighttime breeze strokes the star-crossed sky, seduced I am
He never doubt the shine but dark is smooth and winds are calm

Between vine balustrades the riversnake winds down
The peak of clouds into silent waters
Where slumberous swans pass the night

Enthroned by elder gods, a silhouette appears in sight - all beauty is hers
And she flies away on radiant wings, silent her flight

The night is growing longer
And darkness wipes away the backward paths
But I follow the tunes of her haunted lute
Into a maze of tragedies of old
Waters become agitated, the waves are roaring
And landscape fades away
And I find myself in tall marble halls
Where ancient echoes are hunting
