Tracks



01. Wizard

I´m sitting in front of the blank picture, looking
Old and tired, tired and old, without wings of magics
I´m alone like pain in me

a thousand years is so long a time, I´m an old wizard indeed
Bloody tears fall down to the empty hands from the strange eyes

Every sweet smell of sluts is lost in their graves
All the evil of my thoughts is my vile web
I like only my smell of false memories
But their picture, their picture is vacant
I´m alone like pain in me

a thousand years is so long a time, I´m an old wizard indeed
Bloody tears fall down to the empty hands from the strange eyes

I´m sitting in front of the blank picture, looking
Old and tired, tired and old, without wings of magics
I´m alone like pain in me

a thousand years is so long a time, I´m an old wizard indeed
Bloody tears fall down to the empty hands from the strange eyes

02. Garden

Behind shadows, behind fingers
I´m hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden, in its corners
I´m looking for the path of my thoughts in the dark

Open the gate, it´s the rigth time
Let the wind makes a ring the trees
Let the shadows move on the ways
I´m entering the tomb of tales

Here you find revived puppets
One of them is you
I´m coming to everyone like the trees and feelings
Here you find - maybe yourself

Behind shadows, behind fingers
I´m hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden, in its corners
I´m looking for the path of my thoughts in the dark

03. The Last Place

This is the last place on my way
I´m tired so much
When I see the moon for the last time
I´ll lie down to frosty autumn leaves and then
Like the shadow of my memory

Whenever in a dream you´ll return to this place
Whenever you´ll want, I´ll come to you
Like the light cold touch of the autumn night

This is the last place on my way
I´m tired so much
When I see the moon for the last time
I´ll lie down to frosty autumn leaves and then
Like the shadow of my memory

But now I want
I want to be alone
I feel the cold touch

This is the last place on my way
I´m tired so much
When I see the moon for the last time
I´ll lie down to frosty autumn leaves and then
Like the shadow of my memory

But now I want
I want to be alone
I feel the cold touch

04. Old Woman's Dance

The old dream of fear is back
Faces of old women along with it
You know their naked reeking bodies
Are dancing again like the flames of fire

They know about you and your fear
Which creates them for you
Old women´s eyes are glaring
Now glowing blood makes a move the flames to you

Hey, hey, turn your eyes to the fire, to the fire !
Hey, hey, turn your eyes to the fire, to the fire !
Dance like flames to dark night
Hey, hey, turn your eyes to the fire, to the fire !
Hey, hey, turn your eyes to the fire, to the fire !
Don´t fear the beast in yourself !

The devil entered them from the night
From the shadows of the trees
You know their naked reeking bodies
Are dancing again like the flames of fire

They know about you and your fear
Which creates them for you
Old women´s eyes are glaring
Now glowing blood makes a move the flames to you

Hey, hey, turn your eyes to the fire, to the fire !
Hey, hey, turn your eyes to the fire, to the fire !
Dance like flames to dark night
Hey, hey, turn your eyes to the fire, to the fire !
Hey, hey, turn your eyes to the fire, to the fire !
Don´t fear the beast in yourself !

07. Ghost

I´m your dumb voice
I´m a ghost from the dark
I´m a black mirror
I´m a river of time

His heart is made of stone
you´re his grey tomb
He has no voice,
laughing silently

Bloody tears fall down to the empty hands from the strange eyes
Weeping is the dark, the light, the lie
and the grey shadows in the black mirror

Now he is you
your lies are his eyes
Eyes of the ghost from the dark
you are the ghost from the dark

I´m your dumb voice
I´m a ghost from the dark
I´m a black mirror
I´m a river of time

Bloody tears fall down to the empty hands from the strange eyes
Weeping is the dark, the light, the lie
and the grey shadows in the black mirror

09. Black Tunnel

I´m falling down through the black tunnel
My blind eyes can see the wall

My sister is strange to me, owing to me
My brother isn´t mine, I know it
God is turned to the wall
And me ? I´m like the black night

Black, black in the shadows of your wishes
I´m like the black night
And sleep cures fear of it
I´ll kill your look at me

My sister is strange to me
My brother isn´t mine
God is turned to the wall
I´m like the black night

Black, black in the shadows of your wishes
I´m like the black night
And sleep cures fear of it
I´ll kill your look at me

10. Shadow

Hey you, I´m watching your steps for a long time
The sun stretches your shadows to me
I know you have no power
Without sight, without thoughts
With feeling of cold fear

Hey you, you´ve forgotten something on your way
You´ve forgotten yourself, my friend
I think, you´re going to fall down to knees today
Awfully tired in your shadow

12. I Come And Stand At Every Door

I come and stand at every door
But no one hears my silent prayer
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead

I'm only seven although I died
In Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow

My hair was scorched by swirling fire
My eyes grew dim my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind

I need no fruit I need no rice
I need no sweets nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead, for I am dead

All that I ask for is for peace
You fight today, you fight to die
So that the children of this world
May live and grow and laugh and play
