1. WANDERLUST

Have you ever seen forests and hills?
A traveller once spoke
And in his eyes, there was a glint
Yet unknown feelings it evoked
He told me tales of places and times
Enchanted heart, a splinter in mind
With every word and with every smile
My past became a foolish waste of life

A further day has been born in the night
And with it comes the change
My meditations enlightened my views
I'm longing for those lands so strange
Duty says: Attend to me!
You have your task, you must not flee!
But freedom cries: Let me out!
So in the end I leave without a doubt
Defying the dreams I have
Into the light I go
May fortune be my friend

On this journey, miles and miles
Where is my path?
What lies beyond these mountains
Framing my desire?
Oh, I won't return
Until foreign seems my homeland
And I've found
the end of wanderlust

On the mantelpiece I left a note
Waving my fellows goodbye
They might even have liked to ensue
But that's not the gist of why
And so I write this book on my own
Heading for the things yet to come
Gentle breeze, I close my eyes
I feel it now, my spirit starts to fly

Defying the dreams I have...

On this journey, miles and miles...

And now I stand
Among the oaks of ancient times
And I begin to understand
The light in his eyes

On this journey, miles and miles...


2. TO THY CROWN

So here I am after all these lies
This could be innocence,
I have been so blind
Since the day I saw you
Sitting by his side
But will you cover all your tears
And the secrets we shared?

My king, now hear me speak
(Don't you look at me this way)
With passion and belief
(He might guess the play)
I will be serving you everlastingly
Nevermore I'll cross the line
Nevermore I will fight
I am the last to destroy
All your blessed life
So I let go off your hand
And obey to Thy crown

The second day
That I am on the run
The rain is getting stronger
Let the flood begin
Upon the water, reflections
Reviving my memories

And as I wander torn in pain
I hear you whispering my name
Knight of mine, don't you depart!
Nevermore I'll cross the line ...

Devotion and dishonour!

Restinction means to lose her
If I had one wish I'd choose
Another life for us
No kingdom in between

A torrent raging wild
Your face seems to rush by
So I will go down and
We unite one last time

Nevermore I'll cross the line ...


3. THE ASSASSIN

A shadow creeping through the night
Breathing in silence, hardly any sound
Warily avoiding light
Cloaked in blackness, noone is around
Only the moon could see his face
Emotionless, determined and pale

No sign, no trace
A moonlit lane,
So quiet and alone
No sign, no trace
A sudden blink: the dagger's
Blade is drawn On that mission
I am straight
They demand I'll spill
Blood at their feet
My work is based on hate,
On jealousy and greed
Stand up to me and fight
Forever you can't hide
Your death is my concern
By night I shall return

There is no shade in his hood
Not even light in his eyes
His skull-key masters the lock
A dream will end
With a horrible surprise I don't know the way you lived
I'll never know your kin
Or what you did
Which makes me take
Your breathing air
But honestly: I don't care!

On that mission...

Why should I be
Punished in hellfire?
I'm just the bearer
Being hired!

On that mission...

At dawn you will have learned!
