Les paroles


1. The rest is silence

Tired, tormented, exhausted from life
Now all alone he walks through the park
No one never he had by his side
Happiness was hiding in the dark all the time

And now the earth claims back her own dust
The wind wants to take away his ashes

He hears some shabby recollections in mind
Maybe in memory he's got some secrets
He never ever had ever revealed
With it he will die and had always lived

November, cold, he's very old
Suddenly falls down on the leaves
Before his eyes ran all his life
He saw nothing just like before the birth


2. 1873. XI. 28 - 1873. XII. O4

A young couple in the grief all clad in black standing over black small coffin slowly draws in Earth
Sad tear-stained faces full of mourn for the new born child' death

Lord had mercy upon the child's soul
Not let him live to love and hate

For the flame of the candle was too weak
The wind of darkness furiously blew its wing

Sleep my child forever the grave now is your cradle
The new born child's death


3. My soul is dark

My soul is dark — oh quickly string
The harp I yet can brook to hear
And let thy gentle fingers fling
It's melting murmurs o'er mine ear
If in this heart a hope be dear,
That sound shall charm it forth again
If in these eyes there lurk a tear
Twill flow and cease to burn my brain

But bid the strain be wild and deep
Nor let thy notes of joy be first
I tell thee minstrel, I must weep
Or else this heavy heart will burst
For it hath been by sorrow nursed
And ached in sleepless silence long
And now ‘tis doomed to know the worst
And break at once or yield to song


4. Fairytale

Sleep my child and don't be worried
Cinderella comes to you to night
She will caress you soft
With one wave of her wand she will guide

Sink in the tales of those days of yore
Weep over stories of grief and gore
In the land of dark in the land of doom
In the land of dragons of kings and fools
Singing songs of love stare at the stars above
Here you want to be it's the place for thee

Follow me and I'll show you
The door to neverland
There's all you want to see all you want to have
Follow me and we'll walk
In the land of fairytales
On the other side
Through the looking glass

And if you are trying to escape
From your life your memory and your pain
Close your eyes on an empty page o' your being
Imagine in your dreams
That you can fly away

Over the mountains across the seven seas
Way up to the north silken way to the east
Fuck the snow queen, beating Aladdin
In the land of your own you can do all you wish

To make the welkin bleed
The broken mirror scream
It's your created world
Where you want to be


5. At supper

Under the chant of an angel's dirge
Pealing the crosses of the nameless graves
The mournful cross with wilted wreath on the head
Under the dusty tombstone
Soldier lies in the Earth

Cold like the senseless moon
With the last dream he sleeps
A fat worm with his sate snoot
In his body gently creeps

So many times he conquered the lands
In the name of Christ
With a sword in his hand
Once so brave in the battles and wars
Now tranquil he lies as a supper for worms


6. Dracula

He believed in God the trinity
He believed in love and peace
He believed that all his county
Will be strong and will be free

But from foreign land came the infidels heathen enemies of our God and he had to go to fight against to defend our folk and Lord
And now I'm looking through the turrets afar how in the depths of horizon dives the sun
From the leaden slumber awakes the night
With a rigorous coldness stabs the light
Which curtains the glimpse of hope
Kills the dream for my lover's return
And I'm waiting day an' night
And I'm praying all the time
An' entreating to the Lord for his return

Why is he so late?
What if Christ left him?
On my knees Lord I prithee
Did he believe in vain?

Time ticks away so slow
Expectation makes me low
I hear the call of the crow
A fear for the nearing of woe
The bloody news of his death
A mockery of fate the end of faith

I'll be back and shall revenge
Blood to rivers will be shed
Christ you'll pay for all thy sins
And for my tears

He slayed and killed
Blood he has spilled
With blood of a child he has to feed
And for his deeds he's tossed down in
Hell, even our souls they never met


7. Lullaby

Time to sleep for a little girl
Time to lie in her cold bed
And embrace only friend the fluffy warm
Teddy bear who's always there by her side
And warms her all the time

The wind has the window stroke
Cold in the room has crawled
The dark soars in the air
A fear is drawing near

A horrid dream appears
The fear is near and near
Screaming she awakes
Trembling with a fear

She's closing once again her eyes
Trying to get over her fright
And the tears on her cheeks are slowly drying
A bird outside sings a lullaby
The tender music of the night

And a new dream comes to her
But not without a fear
Again the dread is nigh
Storms the child's mind

A horrid dream appears
The fear in near and near
Screaming she awakes
Trembling with a fear


8. In the city

In the city in the dirt and dust
A child stumbles and falls
Help me his cold lonely future calls
But the street just laughs and screams
A tear form his eye silently streams

No one cares about his cries
The joy of life inside him dies
Time won't heal his wounds alas with it he will die

In the city in the dirt and dust
A child stumbles and falls
To his pain the echo growls back the words
“You will feel no warmth and love
You're one more victim of dark”


9. Somewhere - out there

Deep into the deadness of the night
The dark is gaping beyond
Black driving holes are soaring high
The time is out of joint
Whirling of the absurd
Which rolls all our dice
No one can shun the snares of death
But still we keep on trying

We wanna know more about us
So much we have to ask
To find out the cause of a meaningless being
Or retreat an' believe in God

We have to fly faster than light
To break the time and the sphere
Find out the point of our existence
Somewhere — out there
If there is no one behind the curtain
Of the theatre called life
We have to bear those ills we have
Carry the fardel of our lives
