CD "Posthumous Silence"

 

1. Eternity Ends


Heat grows cold,
light becomes dark

And the dust returns
to the earth as it was

2. Request Of Tears

In the quietness of my silent walls
Where the shadows play the dance of you
All around me - where each part once told your life
Where the window still reflects your smile

Still I feel you, still I'm trapped within our time
Wondering vainly - why you left my child
When my fingers start to open your bequest
Clutching tightly the lifeless book you left
...for me


3. In Chains


Cold spreads out a chill of fear when the wind blows
Used to freeze and bind me here... and now it grows
Feel they will exploit my crude naivity
Things I will reveal to you - my diary

Put into words what I'm feeling
put into words my whole life...

In chains -
When will I freak out in chains?

Thoughts that are about to rise will be unbound
Doubts - I try to verbalize and write them down
Push the narrowness aside incessantly
It's just in you that I confide - my diary

Put into words what I'm feeling
put into words my whole life...

In chains -
When will I freak out in chains?

Searching, I'm searching the world in my head
Hoping, still hoping to find it somewhere
Traveled through landscapes in quest of this place
Where peacefully sugary roses await...

Mellowly in arms wide open - they comfort me in peace
Countless people notice me and listen honestly
Colorful but open-minded they tolerate me all
Wouldn't it be great if I can find this lost imaginary world...

There are times, when - through the haze - I find it hard to see
There are times, when I regret there's no-one here for me
There are times, when I'm alone, I'm crying desperatly
There are times, when I miss Daddy's hand that's guiding me ...

When do I quit the labyrinth of my life?
When do I quit the labyrinth inside?
When do I quit the labyrinth ... sometimes?
When will I quit the labyrinth of my life?

Find me - and I will take you on this trip with me
Guide me - you'd use my eyes to judge what I can see
Raise me - I'll show you all the things that worry me
Please help me - this is my SOS... my diary

In chains - when will I freak out in chains?


4. Bitter Symphony


Close your pages, lay them down
Dim the light and look around
Feel the sorrow invades me
Feel the bitter symphony

When you searched me I wasn't there
When you called me I didn't care
All the signs that I ignored
Now I learn the fights you fought


5. Pane Of Truth


Lying in my bed of tears, haunted by the eye of sorrow
Overloaded sceneries - living side by side
Voices from this mouth of screams tempted me with thousand faces
Lying in my room of fears hope to fall asleep

Once in times so long ago when I heard the breeze of laughter
Innocence so warm and neat like sunbeams through the pane of glass and
Now that all those years gone by - fading light replaced by sorrow
Wonder if this light was just a dream

Staring through the open hole, paralyzed and full of anger
All the people that I see since the world has changed
Visions of distorted lust - travesty of human nature
While this window silently suffocates my screams

Once in times so long ago when I heard the breeze of laughter
Innocence so warm and neat like sunbeams through the pane of glass and
Now that all those years gone by - fading light replaced by sorrow
Wonder if this light was just a dream

Pieces cut out elementary - Paranoia fades out gently
fade out, you lie - fade out and die

Staring at the flattened walls - thought I saw a trace of something
Lying in my room of dark, windowless but safe

[Guitar solo]

Woah ... Once in times so long ago when I heard the breeze of laughter
Innocence so warm and neat like sunbeams through the pane of glass and
Now that all those years gone by - fading light replaced by darkness
Wonder if this light was just a dream


6. No Earthly Reason


Lift my head and look outside
See the city sleeps
Watch the lights and breathe the air
That tries to dry the tears in me

Haunting thoughts are whispering
I try to understand
And the voice that speaks from deep
Uses the words you left for me


7. Forgotten Virtue


Each day I leave my realm, step out of my door - I breathe in carefully
Then from the black fa ades I watch the rain fall - and courage falls in me
I try to see the sky but I just see walls - they trap me silently

Some people shout at me and it's a known call: the city jeers at me

And I can not, I can not stand it all ...

It bruises all my life and all I lived for - unfurls so ruthlessly
Exists to vandalize, I hate it much more - it kills the child in me
And naturally surrounds me day in, day out, phagocytizes all
They call it just progress I call it breakdown - am I the only one?

And I can not, I can not stand it all ...

Scaffolds rising through the sky ... so threatening ...
They sprout and spill their concrete lies

If this is what you want to live through - just myopic curiosity
If this is what satisfies you - then I lost the faith I had in me

... Oh, you got to feel ...

False vows paired with false intentions - but they drown in all the other lies
But if there's something I believe in, then there has to be another side

It leads my away, it drags me away, it pulls my away, it drives me away

Each day I leave my realm, step out of my door - I breathe in carefully
Then from the black fa ades I watch the rain fall - and courage falls in me
I try to see the sun but I just see clouds - and people pass my way

So with a known disgust I quickly turn round - it's just a normal day


8. The Colors Changed


Fought my way through
gloomy alleys,
felt the storm on my face
Looked around me
as I noticed some flowers
covering stony space

And it felt like a rush of blood to my head
And it woke in me feelings
I had hidden away

Colors please grow for me,
paint my world rosely,
... show me ...

Was it raining from the facades
when the walls started to fade?
Look around me and it seems like
all the colors have changed

And it feels like a rush of blood to my head
And it wakes in me feelings
I had hidden away

Colors please grow for me,
paint my world rosely,
keep me just sheltered and warm
Save my lost blossoming values
I once trusted in ... show me ...

And it feels like a rush of blood to my head
And it wakes in me feelings
I had hidden away

And I start to paint this place as marvelous as it can be
And I paint it colorful to cover all the cracks I see
Draw the lines I should have made so long ago with graceful strokes
Let it fill the place of distrust and impenetrable smoke

Colors in my eyes replace the achromatic atmosphere
Do I fantasize or it's the sound of birds that I can hear?
When I chase the falling leafs and track their path so mindfully
Will they finally guide me to my world and to eternity?
Would you shoot up, grow my garden, please my Eden grow for me
Show me how you decorate the streets that brought me misery
Outspread all your roots and blow up all these stones that build the wall
Shatter all that binds me here, don't give up, please hear my call...

Colors please grow for me,
paint my world rosely,
keep me just sheltered and warm
Save my lost blossoming values
I once trusted in ... show me ...


9. A Sad Sympathy


Look up faintly and I lack the power to cry
Fall down deeply and I dream again
Reach to touch the drawing that described your mourning
And it is as if I understand ...


10. Questions


They move in the rhythm of their time and keep it inside
They rush through the alleys of their lives and think that's alright

They see through their visions what they want to see
Act in their courtyard like they want to be
They think they can hear it, but they're deaf indeed
Spread out their ideas egoistically

When I'm locked-in, will I break down?
When I grow up, will I freak out?
Will I crack up when they change all?
Will I dry out, will my mask fall?

Will they change me?
Will it ease me?
Will they shape me?
Will it pull me under?
Will it tear me?
Will it ruin me?
Will it reach me?
Or just pull me under?

They move in the rhythm of my time and rub off my signs
They rush through the alleys of my life and repaint them with lies

Will they catch up, will they get me? Disappoint and then they blind me
Will they brand me, yet they're hurting me, will they wound me?
They're deserting me


11. Answer To Life


When they talk to me - I just shut my ears
When they shout at me - pretend not to hear
And they laugh at me - let they have their say
They're approaching me - and I turn away

At the border of sense - left a wasteland behind
I have built it alone - that's my answer to life
At the limit of strain - found the nature in me
I have put down my bags and I'll stay endlessly

Now my former friend - though you seem confused
Ceased to understand our old speech we used
Once you let me down, should have thought before
Now you fade away - don't exist no more

... this is the answer to life ...


12. Message From The Past


I'm staring into space, falling quietly, captured by her pages
In the corner of my eyes I note instinctively how my chamber changes

And the white leafs - moving slightly - they're caressing my hands
Look around me and it seems like all the colors have changed

Now that I'm broken at the end of the road
Naked of power and naked of hope
I'd give all my fortune to stop you tonight
To keep you from falling, to save you, my child ...


13. The Last Embrace


Easy is nothing, nothing is near -
it used to be my garden but the rules ceased
Silence, why is the silence in me ?
I fight the need to struggle with it endlessly
Within and possibly without -
I chase the reason and by the way pursue my doubts
Teardrops of night or teardrops of day
when it turns to dust and finally dust will stay

Stop me now or let me go

I am your child and you are my God -
I'd take your hand but will you follow me now?
Nearby is somewhere, somewhere's so far -
I break the chains of life to break your heart
Leave me or simply leave it to me -
for decisions are close and my decisions deep, please
Help me though there's no help I can see -
from far I came to end it without me

Stop me now or aid my soul
Keep me here or let me go

I'm sick of it all - I have to break up my chains
These walls have to fall - I'm going to kick them away
I'm fed up with life and life is fed up with me
So once and for all I'll leave and I will be free


14. A Kind Of Eden


Feel it faintly ... feel it shyly ... feel it ineffably ...
feel it truly ... feel it so silently ...
feel it eternally and feel it expectantly ...
feel it always

In a place that's full of peace, where the calm surrounds me
Swim through liquid mysteries, drop the chains that bound me
In this place so clean and wild - free the world I leave behind
Sink into the deepest quiet - unchangeably
I close my eyes

Please let me know you'll understand, it's not your fault I'm leaving
I'll cry the tears for you, oh Dad, please let me reach my Eden

Disappear into thin air - a new leaf's turned over
Vanish from the world out there, for the wind got colder
Pleasantly I found the truth guiding me back to my roots
Finally it leads me soon to origins where I belong

Please let me know you'll understand, it's not your fault I'm leaving
I'll cry the tears for you, oh Dad, please let me reach my Eden


15. Posthumous Silence

In the quietness of his silent walls

 Frail und sunken drops her pages down
While the sorrow like a moral guilt falls due
He released her, but he'll mourn for sure

In the deepness of his apathetic dream
How to notice - also his world turned
As the places that once told her life do wane
Darkened spaces - and only dust remains ...

Lost and forgotten at the dawn of the night
Naked of people and naked of light
We failed to notice to show her we tried
To keep her from falling, to safe this sole child ...

Sylvan - Force Of Gravity

I light up a fire - a fire that stands for all injustice that we see
It helps to revive the pictures of grief that it‘s incapable to ease

An impulse to move up with the rise of wind - travels way beyond our reach
To search for a savior it can‘t find down here - against the fall ...

l light up a fire - a fire that mourns for those who know atrocity
It helps realize that fate does not grant all what’s self-evident for me

A fire that climbs up like a shooting star - travels distant galaxies
One wish it might grant us: to rise like itself against the force of gravity

First, you rise from embers shy and then you
Climb up high and weightless brave the fall
My burgeoning fire, please fly, please shine!
You shine, you warm me - my hope, your light engulfs the cold
And changes our world in defiance of it all ...

... and spark and fly and glow and shine, don‘t fall but rise and burn, my fire!

The force of gravityyyyyy!

OSI - Hello Helicopter

 

Well at least this time you were right
And you had the good sense to give up
Yeah when others there might of hung in
So just nobody touch me I know what I'm doing

Can I destroy that for you ma'am?
Can I destroy that for you, mister?
It looks good on you, it looks good on you
But these things look better broken

Hello, helicopter!
Hello, helicopter!

Well I hope this time we were right
'Cause it looks a little worse every day
There's another one flying tonight
And I hope it don't make it I know what we're doing

Can I destroy that for you ma'am?
Can I destroy that for you, mister?
It looks good on you, it looks good on you
But these things look better broken

Hello, helicopter!
Hello, helicopter!

Hello, helicopter!
Hello, helicopter!

 

Unitopia - I Wish I could Fly

 

Standing alone, on the edge of a dream,
I'm falling forward and you are there.
Over the mountain tops,
Over the ocean, spray on your wings,
You fly like an eagle, you’re soaring free.

Catching the currents that
Will send you higher on Icarus’ wings,
Defying gravity’s realm.
Dance with the angels,
The force of the wind caresses your body,
Feel the warm touch of the sun light.

Don’t get too close or you’ll
cast a self doubt on what you were told
Escape from reality’s hold

All of this time I’ve been waiting
To reach for the stars in the sky
You spend all your life recreating
And once more you wish you could fly

From the land that lay dormant the lushness appears
You search for perfection but nothing’s there
Over the mountain tops
Over the ocean, spray on your wings,
You flew like the eagle so wild and free.

Catching the currents that
Will send you higher on Icarus’ wings
Defying gravity’s realm

 

 Anathema - The Storm Before The Calm


[Music & lyrics by John Douglas]

Never, never, never, never ever, never leave you
I will, I will always, always be here for you
Found you, found you
I will, never ever leave you
Never
I will always be here with you
Getting better, better, better, better

It's getting colder, I'm getting colder, colder, it's getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel anything at all
It's getting colder,
It's getting colder, colder

Come on, on me
Touching, laughing, ha ha
Love me, love me for me
Holding, watching, loving
Getting better better better better

It's getting colder, I'm getting colder, colder, it's getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel anything at all
It's getting colder, it's getting colder, colder, I'm getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel anything at all

The shadows, the shadows

It ebbs and flows
And comes and goes
And rips you up and lets you go
It eats inside and splits your mind
As you search around for others kind
To gather strength from the depth
To fight the fight from day 'til night, 'til night, 'til night, 'til night, 'til night, 'til night

This beautiful feeling soars over the skies
Moving through my body out my mind
It rises up and floods my brain
This is fucking insane, this is fucking insane

Am I still here?
This wonderful feeling
Am I still alive?
This wonderful feeling
Am I still here?
This wonderful feeling
Am I still alive?
This wonderful feeling

 

Eela Craig - A Spaceman Came Travelling

 

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
 twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village he halted his craft
and it hung in the sky like a star
Just like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed
where mother and child were there lying on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
and he had the face of an angel
And they were afraid

When the stranger spoke, he said,  Do not fear!
I come from a planet a long way from here,
and I have a message for mankind to hear 
Suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went, la, la, la ...
Peace and good will to all men,
and love for the child
La, la, la ...

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing the sound
and travellers on the road the village the found
by the light of that ship in the sky
which shone all around

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
the stranger returned and said:  Now I must fly!
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
this song will begin once again to a baby s cry!

 

 

Sylvan - God Of Rubbish

 

 That‘s far too different
Too insignificant, you know
What are those harmonies? Progressive?
Useless complexity ...

 

Watch out, I‘ll come! Watch out, I‘ll show you!
Watch out my friend! I should ignore you!

 

No frippery! Please not artistic!
And not profound! Keep it simplistic!

 

Airy-fairy tales ...

 

I’m not sluggish, I’m the God of rubbish
I’m a crap creator, tickled pink gold saver
I am great, God knows it! Kick it fast, compose shit!
I‘m a billion brilliant billboard dream ...

 

Come out and hear! Come out and listen!
My music sells! So grasp my wisdom!

 

No symphony! Just tor the money!
King radio will kiss you, honey!

 

Interested in success?
Come baby, kiss my ass!

Dream The Electric Sleep - Fist To Face


Grab a gun you charge
Make these streets run cold with blood
And its just begun
But you’re too large
Has anyone ever understood

That if we take what we want
Won’t we be the poorer
But if we make what we want
Won’t we take this further

You’ve overcome the pain of
Winning it just to take the fall
And you’ve come undone
But you push on
Fist to Face, a currency of waste

You’ve overcome
You’ve come undone
But you push on
Fist to face

If we take what we want
Won’t we be the poorer
But if we make what we want
Won’t we take this further

 

 

Kayak - Freezing

Love used to be
A safe place
A refuge
Protecting the weakness
We kept in our hearts

But what bound us was just
But it'd finally break us
A stronghold collapsed
Like a frail house of cards

Now love has become
A faintess of memories
In life
That is no longer mine
Where refuge has turned
Into desolate wasteland
And storm clouds appear
To darken our skies

In a world made of ice
And I'm freezing
Freezing to death
In this landscape
Of silence and ignorance
Selfishness, hate and regret
I am freezing to death

Love used to be
Our asylum, our haven
Where noone could enter
Except you and me
Surrounded by walls
That would not only guard us
But lock us inside
Eventually

But love has become
A forgotten accessory
Lost in the back of our minds

Where cold winds are blown

And I'm chilled to the bone
All tears changed to crystals
Embedded in lies

In this world made of ice
And I'm freezing
Freezing to death
In this landscape
Of silence and ignorance
Selfishness, hate and regret
I am freezing to death

Losing my breath after ages
Of silence and ignorance
Selfishness, hate and regret
I am freezing to death
I am freezing to death

And sometimes it seems like we've never existed
A dream that I woke up from
But far too late

Tainted and tonished
And still in position
No matter what
We were both headed straight for the fall
Left with nothing at all

Oh I'm freezing
Freezing to death
In this landscape of silence
And ignorance
Selfishness, hate and regret
I am freezing to death
I am freezing to death

 

 

 

Pain Of Salvation - Chain Sling

"Please let me be yours please never leave
Please stay here close to me
All love we shared where is it now?
Please let me be better than I was
Please don't give up on us
The thought of leaving you - I don't know how"

"I can feel the pain you have inside
I see it in your eyes
Those eyes that used to shine for me
I can feel the wildness in your heart
That's tearing us apart
My love how can I help if you don't want me?"

"There is nothing you can do to help me now
I am lost within myself as so many times before
There's nothing you can do to ease my pain
I am so, so sorry but if you love me you must let go"

Two young souls in the dance of a chain sling
Love once born from the ink of Solitude
Bidding to dance in the swing of a rope end
Walking their Remedy Lane
trough this interlude of pain

Who will be there now?
When I lose one true love?
(When I lose my love)
I am falling now
Darkness below and above

There is nothing you can do to help me now
I am lost within myself as so many times before
There's nothing you can do to ease my pain
I am so, so sorry but if you love me you must let go

Two young souls in the dance of a chain sling
Love once born from the ink of Solitude
Bidding to dance in the swing of a rope end
Walking their Remedy Lane through this interlude of pain

Who will be there now When I lose my one true love?
(I am falling now)
Have I lost Myself? To love someone else...

"Please let me be yours please never leave
Please stay here close to me
All love we shared where is it now?
Please let me be better than I was
Please don't give up on us
The thought of leaving you..."

I DO NOT KNOW HOW

 

 

Tune – Sheeple

 

 

Carry on, don't think
Just march along, achieve

our common goal
It's what you want
It's what you need
Pay no mind, believe
Your leaders in HD
Lay back and dream
Allured by the charm
Of a flickering screen
It's under control
Don't leave your comfort zone
You don't need to go beyond
Cause what you don't get
Is what you fear
We'll mold the world you see
The reality's on TV
Identity?
It don't matter
Cause you're all the same to me
We are the sheeple
We don't dare to deny
And when the sun goes down
We praise the prime-time Messiah
We are sheeple
We don't dare to defy
Just say the word
Our herd will hail
And jump into the fire
We are the sheeple
We don't dare to deny
And when the sun goes down
We praise the prime-time Messiah
We are sheeple
We don't dare to defy
Just say the word
Our herd will hail
And jump into the fire

 

 



 Sylvan - Not far from the Sky

 

Wait ... approach them inside ... jointly expectant and quiet, awhile ...

Here ... not far from the sky ... with a case, in the flickering light, beside ...

 

Loved ... their seed inside, feel feather-light ... with faith in their clear eyes ...

A draught ... it's passing by ... just volatile ... it followed them here and tonight

 

"This once ... I feel this is my chance ... I'm sure we are, no doubt, somehow at home now!

Deeply ... I sense that it grows in me ... oh please let it, this time, be my cloud nine!"



"This is a magical and pure and an extraordinary time!

Here, full of candy-coloured garlands I can leave it all behind!

And in this land of milk and honey waits my natural paradise!

Where we can settle down forever, no matter what will wait outside!"

 

Here ... where prospects reside ... they're about to find out what the case could hide ...




Sylvan - Shaped out of clouds

 

Now they read 'bout things that they should know: of break-ups and divorce

'Statistically the figures tend to grow', this article deplores

 

Virtually impossible, it seems, that couples coexist

Literally interpreted it means that dreams might not persist ...

 

"But our love, eternally, withstands and braves this storm with ease ... for sure!"

 

'Logically ...', this paragraph concludes, '...society bears the blame'

Regrettably - and this is nothing new - a bitter taste remains ...

 

"But our love, our family will face this dare and finally succeed ... oh, please!

And our confidence will hopefully prevail over tendencies ... I know ..."

 

"Lift me up and never let me down! Lift me up where you can form the clouds with me!

And our castle we will shape here out of these clouds will prove unshakable for me ..."

 

... and then they put them down ... those scrapped articles that they have found ...

... where the candle sends off light of doubt ... they open the door, look back and blow it out ...

 

"When you wake I'll receive you, and that moment I'll greet you ...

With my heart I will touch you ... and that day we will shine!"

 

 

 

Unitopia – Here I Am

Lying alone wrapped in a cocoon
Staring out from a brand new life
Helpless and needing, constant feeding
I'm out of the dark…

Years come and go and time flies past
Suddenly days take a challenging turn
Chemical changes, at war with the world
At war with myself

Here I Am…questions, all are made to ask
Here I Am…hoping, this precious gift will last
Here I Am…questions, all are made to ask
Here I Am…hoping, this precious gift will…

Carry me on as the cycle repeats
As the life force comes from within
Fully dependent, the care that I give
Is the only reality

Many more summers and winters have gone
But not many seasons ahead
Is it too late to make my peace
With a world I left behind

Here I Am…questions, all are made to ask
Here I Am…hoping, this precious gift will last
Here I Am…questions, all are made to ask
Here I Am…hoping, this precious gift will last.

Anathema    "Thin Air"

 
Love is free
In time, in peace
And now is here
This life, this dream ...

You know how it feels but... is it all in your mind?
When you know how it feels to be pushed and pulled through your life
And sometimes it seems like there is life in your eyes
And all that I know is I love you

Yes I love you

And it feels like we're already flying
But the air is too thin and we're dying
The clouds all around take us higher
The world far below is on fire
I hold out my hand just to touch you
And all that I know is I love you
A vision a promise of heaven
A reason for being forever

You're just a whisper away

We've come too far to turn back
This is where we stand and face it
This is who we are, one step closer
Into thin air we will go there

We've come too far to turn back
This is where we stand and face it
I feel you breathe
You're just a whisper away

We've come too far to turn back
This is where we stand and face it
This is who we are one step close
Into thin air we will go there

We've come too far ...
This is where we stand ...

Sit back and relax
Crawl into the maze

Leave it all behind
Now allow yourself to
Slide into a world
As real as you want it to be
Actual fantasy

 

 

Runrig  There's a Need

 

 

From the core of the dark
To the spark of the heart
There's a need

Sons falling into souls
Ships breaking on the shore
There's a need

It's the way her eyes were cast
Through the sockets of the past
There's a need

From the west to the east
From the famine to the feast
There's a need

From the strong to the weak
From the desert to the streets
There's a need

From the left to the right
From the darkness to the light
There's a need

From the governors of war
To the pawns who heed the call
There's a need

She's sleepwalking with the damned
A photo etched in her hands
There's a need

We're all waiting in the night
Together for the light to take us there
The promise of a greater fate
With all your dreams complete
In the warm last place

We are many millions more
We have not been here before
There's a need

We've come so far so fast
And the first are now last
There's a need

From the little child in arms
To the leaders of the land
There's a need

Hopes are towers in the skies
Dreams are wings taking flight
There's a need

It started rising round the world
Like any other sun to start a day
The promise of a greater fate
With all your dreams complete
In the warm last place
 
 
RPWL    Breathe in, Breathe out
 
 
The world is flowing through me with all the pleasure and the joy
But am I truly feeling it
The world is flowing through me with all the love and happiness
But I don't feel it anymore

Far removed from a cosmic vision
Far removed from a new reality

Breathe in, breathe out
I feel the time is coming near
Breathe in, breathe out
I know that it was meant for me

If I knew the right question
Is there an answer to be found?
Breathe in, breathe out

Is there something beyond reason?
Where does it all begin and will there come a time when it will end?
If we are able to see
Have we not learn to look away until we meet each other again?

Far removed from a cosmic vision
Far removed from a new reality

Breathe in, breathe out
I feel the time is coming near
Breathe in, breathe out
I know that it was meant for me

If I knew the right question
Is there an answer to be found
Breathe in, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out
I feel the time is coming near
Breathe in, breathe out
I know that it was meant for me

If I knew the right question
Is there an answer to be found
Breathe in, breathe out

 
 

Flaming Row  Neglected Garden

 

 

Now I reach out for the garden you've once loved
Feel my bitter breath, I'll
execute my craft
I take fading things,
Oh that is my desire
Without conscience,
Without grave,
Won't earn a penny
To my name

Mist ascended from the valley down below
Oh, I can't feel your pain

I will lodge my claim.
Until the sun will rise
Beware 'cause it's myturn
and I will gear up
For the show

Time and tide wait
For no man, do you see?
When the last grain of sand

In the hourglass decays

If you don't change,
My hope will die

Safe your soul just remember

Activate your mind

Like the last grain
of hope in a desperate
game of life
Leave behind this inane life

Back to life again

But he remains and fills up his glass of wine
 
 

Sylvan   The Sound Of Her World


Flowery meadows and green coloured lands
Beating the fields, touching grass with my hands
Cartways I walk on, broad acres I roam
And then afar, within sight, there's home!

In your hands I believe I can reach for this dream quite easily
In your hands I believe, yes I feel that it's near...

Hold me, tight... enough for me now... Lead me, right... enough for me now...
Know me, wise... enough for me now... Show me, in sight...

Now the fields she has roamed are covered with haze
And a mist from the east now darkens the days
When the sirens afar are starting to scream
When no hand is in sight she wakes from her dream

And the sound of her world is starting to change
And the sound of her world become twisted and strange
And in the sound of her world a discord appears
Somehow the sound of her world's infiltrated by fears

My love, can you hear this shrill sound! It's as if it followed us out of my dreams...
And now it is spinning around! All that once was near now seems beyond arm's reach!

...the loneliness is coming... the loneliness is coming... sound of her world...

Hold me, tight... enough for me now... Lead me, right... enough for me now...
Knows me, wise... enough for me now... Show me, in sight... Enough for me now
 
 

Arstidir  Heiðin

Köld veröldin veit þér ei af,
varla átt þér samastað
frið engan í andartak gaf,
ekki getur sæst við það

Biðin þig vel getur borið,
býsna langt kjósir þú það
en ríst' á lappir er ljúft kemur vorið
og létt sólskín rennur í hlað

Lífið þér bíður ef leitar þú vel
leiðina greiða reynd' að sjá
veistu það þú verður heimtur úr hel
og hjartað mun lifna við þá

 

 

Arstidir  The Heath

The cold world knows not of you,
you barely get shelter
gave no peace in a moment,
can't reconcile with that

The waiting can carry you well,
rather far if you chose that
but get on your feet when the spring comes tenderly
and light sunshine runs into the farmyard

Life waits for you if you look well
try to see the clear path
you know that you'll be pulled out of hell
and your heart must reawaken then
