1. OVERTURE

(Instrumental)


2. FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE

There is a window out of pain
But the grief will come again
Swallow all the light and steal the sleep tonight
I’ll never see the day to take it all away

There was a time to play my cards
Drown my anchor in the hearts
Find the tracks to love and get the tricks to shove
I never found a way to make it here to stay

My world is dark and out of touch
I’m left alone a bit too much
What you see is what you get
But when you can’t there’s nothing left
I’ll miss it from the cradle to the grave

My world is full of mortal scenes
That blind my eyes and steal my dreams
What you feel is what you get
But when you can’t there’s nothing left
I’ll miss it from the cradle to the grave

My world is dark and out of touch
I’m left alone a bit too much
What you see is what you get
But when you can’t there’s nothing left
My world is full of mortal scenes
That blind my eyes and steal my dreams
I can’t see or feel it yet and as I can’t there’s nothing left
I’ll miss it from the cradle to the grave
I’ll miss it from the cradle to the grave
I’ll miss you from the cradle to the grave


3. RUIN & MISERY

In each of your failures I saw my victory
And each time you fall a knife tattoos a smile

On my lips you are now empty of life
And we are drunk with death

Raw models
Ruin and misery
Raw models
Ruin and misery
Raw models
Ruin and misery
Raw models
Ruin and misery

I can offer you a hand
To help you hold the dagger
A perfect jewel for our perfect end

And as we lay, we kissed
Fingers wet with poison
Thinking to each one
There is beauty in death

Raw models
Ruin and misery
Raw models
Ruin and misery

Allow me to doubt
We were lovers who could really share
The only love between us was hate

Without hope we could not fear
And silently we disappeared
Hand in hand, we took our lives
And together stopped being

Raw models
Raw models

Raw models on a novel of ruin and misery
Raw models on a novel of ruin and misery
Raw models on a novel of ruin and misery
Raw models on a novel of ruin...


4. DRACONIAN TRILOGY: THE OPENING

Lepaca Draconis Nox Tarados
Lepaca Draconis Nox Tarados


5. DRACONIAN TRILOGY: MORNING STAR

Red Dragon from the first morning of time
Red Dragon of ancient depths of the mind
Rise up from the abyss of ignorance
Coil into the existence of the blind

Morning Star, please, bear your light
Through the day to next night
Fallen one who stole the spark
Bring it into the dark

O Typhon Apep Lothan
O Drakon Typhon Apep Lothan

Morning Star, please, bear your light
Through the day to next night
Fallen one who stole the spark
Bring it into the dark

Dragons of tomorrow flying to their Babel of yesterday
They open the Seal of Sorath and release the eleventh ray


6. DRACONIAN TRILOGY: BLACK DIAMONDS

Red Dragon burning again
And dragging down stars and fallen angels down
From the heavens to the newborn world
To fulfill the prophecy and be the force to see

Red Dragon flying now
And casting down stars and ancient angels down
From the heavens to the burning earth to fulfill the prophecy
And be the force in man once again as it was in the beginning

The diamonds glimmering in the darkness
To be the stars in the night
Black pearls will shine so bright of the Draconian might


7. SHADOWSCAPE

I am the Guardian, the keeper of time
I hold the seven keys to places you’ve never been
I show you secrets of things you never have seen
So trust in your darkest thoughts and follow your dream

Dreams of another home with pieces of tomorrow
I’ve seen the future and what is yet to be
So raise your hands and call to the gods
Your destiny is ready to lead the dreams

I can behold your dreams ‘cause I gave you life
Death is another home of fallen angels
Your life will become a thought and you will forget
So sleep into deeper minds and dream to remember

The dreams take me away, I’ll become inhuman
I touch the deeper soul of eternity
So raise your hands and call to the gods
Your destiny is ready to lead the dreams


8. MY LOST LENORE

For thy promise bewailed by her raven eyes
By her beauty and a scarlet sunrise
May thy river bury her silver tears
A fallen angel enshrined in moonlit seas

Leaving vitality
So serene breeds my darkness
Entreating winter winds
Though I leave I embrace thee

Winter night
Conceal thy precious angel lore
I secrete my soul
Under thy wings of sorrow
Dark I embrace thy eyes
Wander lost on life’s narrow path
I reveal my heart
To this beauty dressed in dark
Dressed in dark

Grieving raven eyes
Falls asleep with the sunrise
Delightful midsummer breeze
Though I leave I await thee

Winter night
Conceal thy precious angel lore
I secrete my soul
Under thy wings of sorrow
Dark I embrace thy eyes
Wander lost on life’s narrow path
I reveal my heart
To this beauty dressed in dark

Grant me thy last midsummer breeze
May thou ascend from endless sleep, my desire
Dance me above thy moonlit seas
Glance yearningly into the deep
A cold and weary night

Midwinter night
Descending me like flakes of snow
I embrace the cold
For a life that morrows
Dark I embrace thy heart
Wanderer lost beyond veils of dawn
I conceal thy loss
Enthralled in life yet still I mourn
My lost Lenore


9. ETERNAL CYCLE

Now lost in the middle of nowhere
Forgotten by human conscience
Kingdom of unfailing sufferings
Unaware by all beliefs

Black sky
The eternal cycle
Soulless bodies
The eternal cycle

We’re blind by its greatness
Its shadow hangs over our life
Black sky hangs over our doubts
Kingdom of blood and ice

Black sky
World’s perdition
Game of time
The eternal cycle
Soulless bodies
Domination
Game of time
The eternal cycle

Lost, captive
We’re waiting for the truth
Betrayed by time
We forget to remember

Black sky
World’s perdition
Game of time
The eternal cycle
Soulless bodies
Domination
Game of time
The eternal cycle

Now lost in the middle of nowhere
Kingdom of unfailing sufferings

We’re blind by its greatness
Its shadow hangs over our life
Black sky hangs over our doubts
Kingdom of blood and ice

Black sky
The eternal cycle
Soulless bodies
The eternal cycle


10. ODE TO MELANCHOLY

Melancholy
Still my desire
For thy precious tragedian wine

Sweep me away
Into the vale of thine
Where sorrow’s strong and so is joy

Melancholy
Still my desire
Oh let my heart by thee inspire

Oh fill the air
With thy sweet scent
Let thy light, thy star crescent

Wherever she dwells I will bid a farewell sigh
For she dwells with beauty, beauty that must die
And deep inside me I will wait for her return
To her enchanting, awe-inspiring flame I’ll yearn

Oh lust and rueful thought be mine
My soul enhanced, desires
Melancholy
My heart is thine


11. THE HAUNTED MOON

Funereal moon
You pray to die
Embrace the gloom
The silence cries


12. MARTYRIUM

Ein kuhler Hauch loscht sanft die Kerzen
Die die kahlen Wande zieren
Was wird die heutige Nacht noch bringen
Werden wir verbrennen oder erfrieren?

Gefahren aus dem Nichts entstanden
Vervolgen Dich in eine andere Dimension
Verflucht, verteufelt, der Verzweiflung nahe
Erleben wir unsere letzte Vision

Gestrandet vor der Bucht des Todes
In stiller Hoffnung der ertsehnten Erlosung
Die Angst liegt klamm auf unseren Schultern
Wird uns entkleiden bis zur volligen Entblosung

Martyrium...
Martyrium...
Martyrium...
Martyrium...

Das Ende selbst herbeigesehnt
Wirft seine Schatten weit foraus
All Menschen von Gott verlassen
Nicht mehr lange, dann das Aus


13. SHADOWFLOWER

In the silent views of the night
When souls are filled with sorrow
I thought that day had been a dream
A dream within a nightmare
To keep an eye on the flowers
Over their magical presence
A voice from the past cries now
And all its days are trances

I felt her once, once only
I must not say how much it was
Beneath the silvery moonlight
Gave out in return for the love light
The pearly lustre of the moon went down
Smelled no more her rose scent
It smiled and died since she departed
The heart of the Shadowflower

Slided away
Shadowflower
Slided away

In the silent views of the night
When souls are filled with sorrow
I thought that day had been a dream
A dream within a nightmare
To keep an eye on the flowers
Over their magical presence
A voice from the past cries now
And all its days are trances

Her shadow gave me sigh for sigh
When deep black clouds are forming
Less bright are the stars in the moonlight
Which I worship in the sky
The pearly lustre of the moon went down
Smelled no more her rose scent
It smiled and died since she departed
The heart of the Shadowflower

Slided away
Shadowflower
Slided away


14. SIREN

Haste not thine wisdom, for the hollow is ta’en
By whom, know I not, ‘lack! am I of twain
And as a crux (fro my heart) cede I my words (wilt thou ne’er)
Have I been (be left without) ‘sooth sinsyne (come!)

I speer thine pine
(Thine voice is oh so sweet)
(Ryking for me)
Ryking for thee;
Wistful, whistful
(“List and heed” thou say’st)
(Chancing to lure)
Chancing to lure

Skirl and skreigh
But for thine ears, aye, lown ‘tis
Dodge na ‘way herefro
Do come here in eath

Mayhap lured by the scent of lote
‘Od! the foetid, eft hie back I mote
For what I did (how I wish) my soul atrounced (for thee again)
O! Do believe me (will I give thee it), ‘twasn’t a frounce (Troth!)

I speer thine pine
(Thine voice is oh so sweet)
(Ryking for me)
Ryking for thee;
Wistful, whistful
(“List and heed” thou say’st)
(Chancing to lure)
Chancing to lure

Skirl and skreigh
(Thine voice is oh so sweet)
(Ryking for me)
But for thine ears, aye, lown ‘tis
Dodge na ‘way herefro
(“List and heed” thou say’st)
(Chancing to lure)
Do come here in eath

Skirl and skreigh
(Thine voice is oh so sweet)
(Ryking for me)
But for thine ears, aye, lown ‘tis
Dodge na ‘way herefro
(“List and heed” thou say’st)
(Chancing to lure)
Do come here in eath
