Tracks



01. Litany Of Rain

Like a faithless I weep
Like an old man in his final, filthy bed
What love was ever mine to keep?
Over what do the trees stand dead?

Brave little flame
I really saw you below the oak
Whilst wondering to thy name
Your dance plumed the fires beneath your cloak

The litany of rain, upon an earthless coffin...
The litany of rain

Like a stranger on the path
Like a lonely man that lingers
What dark creature will reveal it's wrath?
To what do trees point barren fingers?

Silent little flame
Was it really you before my face?
Why burden me with such a shame
Forever your ghost to chase?

The litany of rain, upon an earthless coffin...

02. Wind Torn

Wind torn, naked trees
Never-ending fall
I am slowly fading away
Ashes to ashes
To dust we become

Between life and death
Loneliness and sorrow
I am gasping for air
Wondering what the voices are whispering
Ashes to ashes
A memory we become

Love and time
Borrowed time for confession
My life was a moment in time
When our loves ones are no longer here
Ashes to ashes
A memory we become

03. A Lonely Passage

Stumbling through narrow paths
Afraid of what will come next
As the darkness closes in
I start to run

What have I done to deserve this
This never-ending hunt?
I will never be able to return home
My existence is shattered

As I stop to gasp for air, I wonder...
Wonder when my final call might come
And if it's really worth escaping from
I'm so tired

Between trees and stones
On stale paths, beneath my reality
It's like I lost the key to my mind
I can no longer control myself
No more running!
I will fight my demons right here

As I stop to gasp for air, I wonder...
Wonder when my final call might come
And if it's really worth escaping from
I'm so tired

Dear child!
Through horrors and fright you will fade
Fade to distant worlds and distant lives
As you lose your suffering
There's nothing more to believe in
Your belief to this day has been life
Now my belief will fill your soul
Fill your soul with death

As I stop to gasp for air, I wonder...
Wonder when my final call might come
And if it's really worth escaping from
I'm so tired

I no longer run
I stand my ground and wait...
I wait...

04. A Fathers Providence

All the things I did wrong
I pray for a father to forgive
For this providence I long
Will I reach out forever?

Behold the golden tower
Of our saviour's church
Reaching up unto the ever grey
Our hope knows not death
Numb to its bated breath

We may dream of a world
With no sins for ghosts to forgive
Yet in unwilling eyes
I crave to see God arise!

Behold the golden tower
Of our saviour's church
Reaching up unto the ever grey
Our hope knows not death
A fathers providence

Until it too draws a final breath

We must break and crack all bone
Trying to hold up the continents he built
Man must bear the task alone
Bowed down beneath

Behold the golden tower
Of our saviour's church
Reaching up unto the ever grey
Our hope knows not death

05. Mourning Sun

Forgotten memories
Resurrected in dreamlike scenarios
My fate laughs at me
Trying to get me to understand
That it's reach is out to my hands

Under the arms of the Mourning Sun
I embrace my fate
My death, my destiny
One moment of despair

Cold nightmares haunt my heart
Reflections from the past
Creeping feelings that never wanted to die
Why can't I just forget
Everything...

Blind surroundings
Who do not understand?
What hides under the surface
Distrusting fools
However, it still makes no difference
My world will always look like this

Under the arms of the Mourning Sun
I embrace my fate
My death, my destiny
One moment of despair

Cold nightmares haunt my heart
Reflections from the past
Creeping feelings that never wanted to die
Why can't I just forget
Everything...

Memories resurrected
Memories that stabs in my heart
However, it is time to say goodbye

06. Call Of The Raven Moon

The night sky is ever still as silence descends
The four winds becoming one
Caressing my naked body
And as you watch the branches bend
Revealing all of you

Long lost, but never forgotten

Will you meet me at the lake
where the water calms my fear?
Will you once more fall in love
And lighten me your flame?
Come to me once more
And I shall know peace

The shattered path before my heavy feet
Leading me inward to this broken temple
This temple of love, lust and creation
Resting here whilst heeding the call

We now lay under the moonlit sky
In the shadows of the past
And as we become one
The stars kneel down
Whispering poetry of this withering moment

The falling leaves
Weaving a blanket
Underneath it the innermost truth
Feeding the sands of time
Stilling it's hunger
While we quench our thirst

Taking our place among forever
Remembered only by two

Now closing our eyes to see
Changing our hearts to feel
Sealing our lips to hear
To hear the call
The Call of the raven moon
Laying us to rest

Your skin like silver in the night
Your face like a poem without words
Your touch was the sun in my heart
And my heart was found by you

And as the worlds begins to wake
So falls the last petal
And at all things end
We must go our separate ways
Into the night
Always alone
Because I couldn't save you
And for that, I am sorry
And always will be...

07. Forest Of Insomnia

Stay into the night as a winter turns bright
Falling leaves divided for a treasures deed
Looking only too dawn for a pale night's gone
Silently braced towards death's all grace

Inside the forest of insomnia
The dystopian nightmare shall end

Stars lights the road to our destiny's code
Quietly proceed to the shadows of my path
Shallow cliffs of conscience arising from hell
The abyss awaits our call to begin the sleep

Inside the forest of insomnia
The dystopian nightmare shall end

Asleep In the fores of insomnia
Never to awake
Falling down
Along the rocks of death
Cursed By the one
And not the heavenly son
Broken down
Inside me I am now dead

Inside the forest of insomnia
The dystopian nightmare shall end

08. Between

Soon to wake, so weary, so old
Another faceless October mourn

A night torn by time spent sitting deathless
Amongst languished graves plagued by a lifetime
Destined to float upon murky waters
Desperately wondering what to name the conspiracy

I remember last winter
Seeking comfort in the wine offered from your neck
I remember last winter
A lustful bond, both ship and wreck

Under damp death of day to fail
Forever's gloomy ocean to sail

I foresee the coming winter
Seeking comfort in unwilling skin
I foresee the coming winter
Bitter sunrise revealing my sin

Under damp death of day to fail
Forever's gloomy ocean to sail

A night torn by time spent sitting deathless
Amongst languished graves plagued by a lifetime
Destined to float upon murky waters
Desperately wondering what to name the conspiracy

Where man has no part
Between dirt and sun
Between worm and woeful star

I remember last winter
Seeking comfort in the wine offered from your neck
I remember last winter
A lustful bond, both ship and wreck

I foresee the coming winter
Seeking comfort in unwilling skin
I foresee the coming winter
Bitter sunrise revealing my sin
