Noekk - The Water Sprite lyrics



Tracks



01. The Water Sprite

Step outside when three moons change
And your horizons turning strange
A crimson lady will be joining thee
To lead you into mystery

A widow black lies in wait
In her cobweb that is silver made
The lady takes you to willows'end
And the harpenists play is close at hand

"Come to my fathomless pond
Through the pearly curtain see
Hear my notes from far beyond
I'll drown thy woe and comfort thee"

He sits on olden stone
To welcome you at home
And with its weaving chords
The water tells with hollow words

"Come to my fathomless pond
Where it is so gently cool
Hear my notes from far beyond
Pick the rose and I will rule!"

03. Strange Mountain

I'm searching for things forlorn
I'm marooned and sneaking along life's forest
Water sings over ageless rocks
The air is dump and within me
I can hear the leafs whispering!

But where are the clouds
My constellations have changed
No signpost to walk for!

I'm wearing limbs of stone and wide yawning valleys
While the sun moves on and the fading light paints distant echoes of life...

04. How Fortunate The Man With None

You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him
To him complexities seemed plain
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain
How great and wise was Solomon
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state
How fortunate the man with none

You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same
And as they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried, you too my son!
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's courage that had brought him to that state
How fortunate the man with none

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink
How honest was the peoples noble son
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's honesty that brought him to that state
How fortunate the man with none

Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to gods own laws
So far he hasn't taken heed
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve out bitter need
How virtuously we had begun
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's fear of God that brought us to that state
How fortunate the man with none

05. The Fiery Flower

In the deep forest by a yearnings side
Is a flower growing in the still of the night
Moonlit night with her would blend - if you break her
Your life must end!

And the lonely night sky does his moonshine send
To caress that flower in no-mans-land
Moonlit night with her would blend - if your break her
Your life must end!

06. Moonface Is Dead

The swing of Luna hangs in stoic calm
Since the silver winds are silent
Swansongs sounding through out the realm
Moonface left the lantern island

This were the nights, when all candles glowed
But it's darker now like shadows of old
Silent singers haunt their song of moonface
Who to death moved on

No pale patch will ever fall
Across nights withering bed
This place is cursed since moonface is dead

07. The Riddle Seeker

He rushed through the mountains
Little waters followed him and crossed his path in fountains

His breast is aching and the forest is shaking
The mist builds mighty forms!
He's waiting breathless with staring eyes restless
To gather all his storms!
The thunder rolls and the sun-blade glows
To kill his undermining worm!

He looses ground and his eyes half closed
Seeking for a small wandering star
He's feeling grey and getting light
A shadow player, dancing in it's scar

He will rush through the mountains
Little waters followed him to cross his path in fountains
Heaven and earth becoming one and he stays isolate
Something is close behind him, that man can't take!
