Witchwood : Litanies from the Woods
Lyrics
1. PRELUDE
(Instrumental)
2. LIAR
Unfold stories,
Of every loser i've met on my way
Unnamed glory
Of a silent hero fallen from grace
Illusion of democracy
Oh lord listen to what I think
Strange kind of morality
Your words stink of nothin'
Promises for fools...liar
Wake up brother
We spend our days in a cage
Show me a good thing
How many dreams fill the graves?
Illusion of democracy
Oh lord listen to what I think
A world of lies behind a tv screen
A carnival of whores
To hide your dirty sins...
Illusion of democracy
Oh lord listen to what I think
Strange kind of morality
Your words stink of nothin'
Promises for fools...liar
3. A PLACE FOR THE SUN
Life has given me my misfortune
I was born under the beans of a bad moon
Well, I don't know the reason why
Love has given me my persistence
Against the adversities of my existence
But it's just a tear in the rain
I will sing a lullaby
Until these eyes will stop crying
Deeply hidden in your soul
You've got a place for the sun
Don't worry my little sister
Now the troubles are lost in the distance
Washed away by a gentle rain
Night by night I pray and list,
Waiting for a new beginning
I don't care for the resin why
I will sing a lullaby
Until these eyes will stop crying
Deeply hidden in your soul
You've got a place for the sun
4. RAINBOW HIGHWAY
Growin' in a dirty small town
A lovely place to get old and die
Live to live another day
I've been just wasting' my time
My daddy tells me stories
Of wonders out of this place
My heartless girl has left me
Now she lives with her backdoor man
Walkin' on the rainbow highway
A celebration of life without a rule
Rollin' on the rainbow highway
Losing myself in the light of the sun
On the rainbow highway
Father Julius told me
"in Jesus you will find the truth"
Wise or fool, I don't know
Sorry, but I'm not sure
I wanna feel the wind on my face
Blown' free and wild
I hear the voice of angels
That sing for me in my mind
Walkin' on the rainbow highway
To a easy place over the blue
Flying' on the rainbow highway
Suspended on a virgin ray of sun
On the rainbow highway, on my own way
Oh I feel free, oh I feel free
In the morning of a new day
In the rainbow highway
5. THE GOLDEN KING
Here comes the golden king
Sail in' on a sparkling ship
He comes with his hundred queens
Hear the litanies for the king
Sweet melodies from the east
While the sun dies into the sea
In his palace of gold
Jester and fools
Make a crown of diamonds
Upon a tower of sand
He can watch in every heart
He rides a bird with wounded wings
Moving slowly through the fields
A trick to catch the wind
When the clouds roll by
And the sunlight clears the minds
Who should live in delight?
In a forgotten place
Prophets will weave
A veil of shame
A shroud for the king
A gift for the damage done
6. SHADE OF GREY
I've been waiting in a shade of grey
Looking for colors through the eerie trees
In this cold place everything is unreal
She moves in silence on a mantle of leaves
Immaculate creature from a hidden world
I will be only a name on a naked stone
As a gentle dew she goes down on me
The scent of musk, wet bark and ground
As a spell that drags me down
I've been waiting in a shade of grey
I've lost myself trying to find the path
I will be only a whisper from the past
In the shelter of these old trees
In a shady bower close by the stream
Little drops of rain wash away my tears
While the stars throw down their light
Like a new dress on the silent grove
In some place a new life will dawn
7. THE WORLD BEHIND YOUR EYES
I know the pain that stings me inside
Oh sweet angel my heart was crucified
And was embraced by winter
When the stars refused to shine
In this night, in my life
We live one day at a time
And the leaves are falling
Until the wind will shake 'em down
It's a mysterious journey
From the ashes over the clouds
To the stars...
Enjoy the silence of this night
Leave the troubles out of your mind
I will cast a spell to stop this time
My love's so strong cause I know
The world behind your eyes
Angel, you got my wounded heart
With a simple smile
I'll be always by your side
And now the sunrise blinds our tired eyes
Still asleep
Enjoy the silence of this night
Leave the troubles out of your mind
I will cast a spell to stop this time
My love's so strong cause I know
The world behind your eyes
Inside your world I find myself
Love will shine on everything
I'm holding' you when the day is done
I'll be with you within the glow
8. FAREWELL TO THE OCEANS BOULEVARD
(Instrumental)
9. SONG OF FREEDOM
Sweet like water after a blazin' sun
Your love, blue eyed angel
A spell on my mind
But I'm free as a river
From when I was a child
It's time I was on my way
To the mountain high
Livin' and lovin' movin' or rollin'
I'm just a traveling man
The light will fade in a misty shade
I hear them call my name
Sittin' on a cold stone
Waiting' for a new dawn
I enjoy the night all around
A wild wind blows
Deep down in my bones
A mystic sound
Sweet freedom flame in my heart
Still burns inside my mind
Oh freedom lead my steps with a spell
Over the mountain to a far golden place
I sing a song of freedom
For the honest man
I sing for my brothers...I sing...
Livin' and lovin' movin' or rollin'
I'm just a traveling man
The light will fade in a misty shade
I hear them call my name
Sittin' on a cold stone
Waiting' for a new dawn
I enjoy the night all around
A wild wind blows
Deep down in my bones
A mystic sound
Sweet freedom flame in my heart
Still burns inside my mind
Oh freedom lead my steps with a spell
Over the mountain to a far golden place
10. HANDFUL OF STARS
Part One:
The Gates Of Slumber
In the hall of dreamers
Through the gates of slumber
A haze made of diamonds
From below and under
Handful of stars
Fill my mind and my heart
Flaming planets
That float in my room
Orion wind is blowing
An ancient cold inside me
Handful of stars
Fill my mind and my heart
Changin' my point of view
I find a galaxy of gloom
Into the abyss of my mind
Where are the colors... Am I blind?
Sailin' on a silver ship
Through the fields of mysteries
Stars, please take me
Drag me away
Stars...
In the cradle of secrets
Temple for the sleeper
A haze made of diamonds
Of every dream I'm the keeper
Handful of stars
Fill my mind and my heart
Changin' my point of view
All around everything is new
Into the abyss of my mind
Across the ages, through the time
Into the space I can't hear any sounds
Is silence the voice of god?
Stars, please take me
Drag me away
Oh stars...

Nox Erat...

Litanies For A Starless Night
