1. DEAD WINTER POEMS

Thundering storm-clouds draw near
In the distance the death knell chimes
A requiem mass for the deceased is said
While a danse macabre is staged

I crossed the seven cities of doom
I rested at the moaning exiles
I killed fire breathing dragons
But I never returned alive

life elapses and I must depart
Prepared for the end
Not in distress and mourning
But with a valiant heart

The ages have gone but not my burden
I crave for the total destruction
In the end flowers look like carcasses
And the end is so near

The stars hide timeless tales
They whisper secrets from the past
Leaves rustle before they wither
And dead winter poems are written


2. TIMELESS SHRINE

A solemn promise on a black voyage
Tears down the boundaries of science
The fourth dimension revealed the lie
About disguised legends and fatal battles

Babylon was unleashed forever
They became gods in a timeless shrine

White sultry nights with autumn rain
And a black summer of forbidden fruits
One million eyes for thousand years
In different skies bring forth the truth

Zw. teil too many gods in one world
The image of a wounded vanity

Oh why didn´t the thorns of reason
Penetrate into man´s deepest thoughts
So death appeared and demanded more
It abandoned life with two lost dreams


3. ZUM HERRSCHEN GEBOREN

Eines Nachts, jenseits des Auenlandes
Vier tapfere Krieger auf dem Weg ins Verderben
Zu schützen den Ring, der vieles beherrscht
Am Finger des Kriegers, den Augen der anderen entzogen

"Ein Ring, sie zu knechten, sie alle zu finden
Ins Dunkel zu treiben und ewig zu binden"
So steht es geschrieben, in des Ringes Seele
Die neun schwarzen Reiter Saurons werden ihn finden

Zum Herrschen geboren

Sauron, Mordorfürst und Herr der Ringe
Befahl die Vernichtung, den Ring man ihm bringe
Mit Morgulmesser, zum Töten der Herzen
Wiedergeboren und geworden wie sie

Die Macht der Krieger, unterschätzten die Reiter
Das Messer gebrochen, verfehlt das Herz
In der Obhut des Waldes, versteckt vor den Augen
Der Reiter
Den Kriegern erklingt der Grabgesang der Elfen

Die Wunde geheilt, durch des Zauberers Kräfte
Den Knechten des Schreckens den Sieg zerstört
Minas Morgul, die Stadt in den Bergen
Von dunklen Mächten ins Zwielicht geführt

"Ein Ring, sie zu knechten
Ins Dunkel........"

"Ein Ring, sie zu knechten
Ins Dunkel......."


4. MORTAL AGONY

And where was the pain and the mortal agony
(That) her suffered a thousand days bygone
But he wasn´t able to find it
Because there was no death anymore

Suddenly he had the idea that he would die alone
Aware of the hypocrisy of his life
And aware of the finality of this failure
But he wasn´t worried because it was still within reach

Despite of the great honour and reputation
He couldn´t forgive himself for his life
He regretted those who had to endure him
And released them and himself from his suffering

Above - he heard the words of desperation
Repeated them in his mind for one last time
"Over is just death - it is not anymore"
And instead of death there was a light


5. AGE OF THE SLEEPLESS

I would fulfil myself a long cherished wish
If god only had given me more than one life
Within a second I would live forever
For my distress to come to (the) threshold of death

I regret those underneath and
Feel inconsolable for the living
The bitter taste of a fallen night
The age of the sleepless has dawned

Elations slip away like tears from my grasp
While the entropy slowly seizes hold of me
Injure myself oh I am so sorry for that
Whatever I have done to them - whatever hurts

A long distance to cover in the shadow of the past
In remembrances I experience the pain inside
Which conveys me today I want to die my first time
But is it worth to die for what I won´t miss tomorrow


6. THE WRATH OF THE SKYDANCING BIRDS

With the essence of all dreams on their wings
They are gliding on cold rising winds
Observing the world through suspicious eyes
From the darkest blue in the eternal sphere

They are envoys under Skyfather´s dome
To avenge the atrocities in a depraved world
The superior creation among mortal remains
In wrath they shred the soul of the moon

Red with blood are the claws of demise
Forever in truth and always in lies
A vacant sphere of life they fill
With lifeless thoughts in a dying misery

Seeking for shades beyond the sun
They find honesty as they have never seen
Whatever seemed to be life has never existed
Whatever existed had never been real


7. METAMORPHOSIS

Deep, deep down lays an egg in the ground
Not much bigger than a seed
Something's moving, I hear a sound
This is a thing, I want to meet, I want to meet

The worm leaves it's place in the earth
It has an instinct, to see the light
The more it grows, the more it's worth
To survive this creature needs to fight, needs to fight, Needs to fight.

Metamorphosis - as an Insect in a garden of roses
Metamorphosis - as an Insect in a garden of roses
Feeling free high above in the sky
Life is as beautiful as a butterfly.

Then something happens, it's a change
It builds a wall, seems like dead
I'm afraid, I feel a strange
Was it the worst thing, I ever met, ever met, ever met?

Later, later the cocoon starts to crack
It's a sort of reincarnation
This was a step forward, not a step back
What a great being, it's my salvation, my salvation,
My salvation.
