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! |
