01. The Black Sea

There is dancing in the sea
Shadows move they just canmot be real
Shadows go and you are left with me
Take a step and feel the sea

Come flee let the sea be sea
Come I know that you strive for me
Nothing here to threaten thee
Come inside and follow me

Let your breath go and swim with me
Let your breath go and swim with me

There is a fire in the sea
That pulls you close arbitrary
One more step don't waver now
Break the deadlock and avow

Come flee let the sea be sea
Come I know that you strive for me
Nothing here to threaten thee
Come inside and follow me

Let your breath go and swim with me
Let your breath go and swim with me

We are dancing in the sea
We are the shadows in the unreal
We are the fire in the sea
Come closer and follow me
We are dancing in the sea
We are the shadows in the unreal
We are the fire in the sea
Come close now and feel the sea

Let your breath go and swim with me
Let your breath go and swim with me

02. Dread It

Round and round the rumours fly
Your promises were just a lie
The handshake made you shiver
That I could tell clearly I was standing right behind you

Today it all went up into the blue
Not quite far enough you promised us the moon

Suddenly it became absolutely evident
A mocking bird, a pointed grin
The masquerade was growing thin
The laugh is always on the loser

Today it all went up into the blue
Not quite far enough you promised us the moon

Hence with you away your sun has set
Pack your things and beings
And never ever come back
Hence with you away your sun has set
Pack your things and beings
You promised something you simply could not keep

Undisputed. A midnight grief
And I know you cannot sleep either
For the fear of, uhm, waking up
Dread it

Today all making variety insistently appeared to me
As masquerade was wearing thin and left but scars of jaded skin

Today it all went up into the blue
Not quite far enough you promised us the moon

Hence with you away your sun has set
Pack your things and beings
And never ever come back
Godspeed to the con man
Farewell! Don't think we will beckon
You promised something that you could not keep

Hence with you away your sun has set
Pack your things and beings
And never ever come back
Godspeed to the con man
Farewell! Don't think we will beckon
You promised something that you could not keep

03. Don't Go Any Further

Uhm? I saw you this morning when you were? ironing all the? all the? you know, all the stuff that we need.
For, uh, for ourselves.
You were cleansing it.
And I know it's all... yeah I know it's all important? uhm? the seam and all? and keeping the line straight of? whatever.
Anyway? what I wanted to say? what I wanted to say is?

Don't go any further

Uhm? I saw you this morning when you were? ironing all the? all the? you know, all the stuff that we need.
For, uh, for ourselves.
You were cleansing it.
And I know it's all... it's all gone? it's all over? yeah, I don't know, I don't' know? just don't go any further

Don't go any further
Don't go any further
Don't go any further
Don't go any further

Uhm, I know, I was, uhm, I was late? later than, later than expected.
Uhm, don't go any further.
And I know it's all... it's all gone? it's all over? yeah, I don't know, I don't know?

Don't go any further
Don't go any further
Don't go any further
Don't go any further
Don't go any further, further
Don't go any further, further
Don't go any further
Don't go any, Don't go any further
Don't go any further
Don't go
Don't go

04. Avalanche

Build me a tomb a sarcophagus
Something to look forward to
In the end when all comes down

Take what you cannot take
And hide what you cannot hide
Then silence me forevermore

I can hear the hangman come
No delay
Build me something to look forward to

I have no regrets no failure inside me
Weathered all intrigues
Reason comes when pity goes
The shades went down, down in the ladder
Lend me your tears and we'll defy whatever
Why now should I feel ashamed?

Build me a tomb a sarcophagus
Something to look forward to
In the end when all comes down

Weep with the call
With the fading with the avalanche
I am going now

To be waiting in silence forever
And ever dreaming, elevating
Fall for sweetest of dreams
Without awakening

And I'll be waiting in silence forever
And ever dreaming, elevating
Fall for sweetest of dreams
Without awakening
No awakening

I'll be waiting in silence forever
And ever dreaming, elevating
Fall for sweetest of dreams
Without awakening

And I'll be waiting in silence forever
And ever dreaming, elevating
Fall for sweetest of dreams
Without awakening

I'll be waiting in silence forever
And ever dreaming, elevating
Fall for sweetest of dreams
Without awakening

And I'll be waiting in silence forever
And ever dreaming, elevating
Fall for sweetest of dreams
Without awakening
No awakening

05. Gloria

It's warlike in the streetlight
And we elbow our way through the pale night
It is everybody else's dream
But not mine, I'm not that kind
It's warlike in the streetlight
And things go a little impolite
What I said I won't remember
But the answer kicked the flame

It's warlike in the streetlight
And we elbow our way through the pale night
It's warlike in the streetlight
And we elbow our way through the pale night
It's warlike, warlike
Warlike, warlike
Warlike, warlike

The snap lock and the peacock
Librettos never promised that much luck
Push always comes to shove and
We're dancing in red and blue corners

The bomb dropped and the horde rocked
Boom they all know I got knocked
It's me against the 7 dwarfs
Yea, call it a setback

And everything she wove for me
And everything she wove for me
And everything she wove for me
And everything she wove for me

It's warlike in the streetlight
And we elbow our way through the pale night
It's warlike in the streetlight
And we elbow our way through the pale night
It's warlike, warlike
Warlike, warlike
Warlike, warlike

You tie everyone around you
A little fling
You pull the strings
And take them all down.
You tie everyone around you
Just no thing
To mask the sling
Then take them all down.

It's warlike in the streetlight
And we elbow our way through the pale night
It is everybody else's dream
But not mine, I'm not that kind
It's warlike in the streetlight
And things go a little impolite
What I said I won't remember
But the answer kicked the flame
It's warlike in the streetlight
It's warlike in the streetlight

You tie everyone around you
A little fling
You pull the strings
And take me down.
You tie everyone around you
A little fling
You pull the strings
And take me down.
You tie everyone around you
A little fling
You pull the strings
And take them all down.
You tie everyone around you
Just no thing
To mask the sling
Then take them all down.

It's warlike in the streetlight
And we elbow our way through the pale night
It is everybody else's dream
But not mine, I'm not that kind
It's warlike in the streetlight
And things go a little impolite
What I said I won't remember
But the answer kicked the flame
It's warlike in the streetlight
It's warlike in the streetlight

07. The Hole We Are In

A fire grew
In the snow
In the cold
In the yard
Will this be ever ever named in an appendix?

Took some time to figure out
To figure out what it would mean
That maybe I was blinded by a sheen

Smelled like me
Smelled like you
Smelled like the things that we've been into

To dare a leap
Off to sweep
To get rid a square of disbelief

To have tried
To have lied
To have slipped and get back on your feet

We have it all
Down in your hole
Dancing with the shadows of the dead

Flames go high out of sight
Beyond contrite, take a bite
And I am wrapped in a peculiar scent of cumin

Took some time to figure out
To figure out what it would mean

Smells like me
Smells like you
Smells like the things that we've been into

Dare a leap
Off to sweep
We are dancing with the shadows of the dead

A fire grew in the snow
In the cold in the yard
Will this be ever named in your appendix?

Took some time to figure out
To figure out what it would mean
That maybe I was blinded by a sheen

The hole you're in
A whole year in
and I keep receiving invitations

Dare a leap
Off to sweep
We are dancing with the shadows

08. Save The Past

So here we stand the day has come
The hit was hard and long the run
And as long as it might take me
I want to come home to the place to go

Got a note that said it's overdue
Had a thought but too much else to do
And what's left now is all but quicksand
And I want to come home to the place to go

In knew it'd come eventually
The letter folded carefully
And for all it's worth I missed you too
And coming back home to the place to go

Here we go and save the past
Up the sails we are off at last
Here we go and save the past
Starboards on we're off at last

Is it true that she went silently
In the end that she went peacefully
And for all it's worth I miss her too
And coming back home

Here we go and save the past

Here we are the day has come
The cypress grow with words of mourn
What is left now is all but quicksand
And I want to come home to the place to go

Here we go and save the past
Up the sails we are off at last
Here we go and save the past
Starboards on we're off at last

So here we stand the day has come
The hit was hard and long the run
And as long it might take me
I want to come home

Got a note that said it's overdue
Had a thought but too much else to do
And what's left now is all but quicksand
And I want to come home to the place to go

Here we go and save the past
Up the sails we are off at last
Here we go and save the past
Starboards on we're off

Here we go and save the past
Haven't I saved it all at last?
Here we go and save the past
Haven't I saved it all at last?
Here we go and save the past
Haven't I saved it all at last?
Here we go and save the past
Haven't I saved it all at last?

10. Too Many Broken Cease Fires

Counting sheep leaps
But keep the gun while in dreams in the sun
Some reason in our tedious Inn
Our tedious Inn.

I know they'll come for me
I'm sure this won't end peacefully
I know they'll come for me
And all I'll do is laugh ?

Our garden bears a morbid seed to grow
Nursed with tears and boredom, uncounted broken hopes

I know they'll come for me
I know they will be back for me
I know they'll come for me
And all I'll do is laugh ?

It is written in my eyes
Cast into my forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all your pale dreams
It is written in my eyes
Cast into my forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all our pale dreams

The scent of lilies is sweeping though the room
Descent of joyful days but now they are in bloom

I know they'll come for me
I see this won't end peacefully
I know they'll come for me
And all I'll do is laugh

It is written in your eyes
Cast into your forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all your pale dreams
It is written in your eyes
Cast into your forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all your pale dreams

Our garden bears a morbid seed to grow
Nursed with tears and lies, myriads of broken hopes
Our garden bears a morbid seed to grow
Nursed with tears and lies, myriads of broken hopes

Whatever we have done it all came down to whispers
Forgotten. Gone. A long lapsed fierce embrace
What happened here, what happened then, the scope grew thin, glares narrowed in
Whatever we have done it all came down to whispers

Now let me go and face the insult.
Now let me go and face the insult.
Now let me go and face the insult.
Now let me go and face the insult.
Now let me go and face the insult.
Now let me go.

It is written in my eyes
Cast into my forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all your pale dreams
It is written in your eyes
Cast into your forehead
A smile just won't disguise
The end of all your pale dreams

11. Untiefen

This is not some stupid quest
Siblings come in pairs and nothing less
I wish I was second best
But that seems to be unlikely and nothing less

This is not some stupid quest
two in the womb of an empress
I wish I was second best
But that seems to be unlikely and nothing less

This is not some stupid quest
The hour has grown late, late at last
The line grows thin with every breath
A twinkle in the shallows, in the depths

This is not some stupid quest
I just want to fly beyond the crest
Take some time for a 2nd guess
Time is running short to make me second best

This is not some stupid quest
A twinkle in the shallows, in the depths
The line grew thin with every breath
And then came to rest
Four seconds past.
