Master!
Apprentice! Heartborne, 7th Seeker Warrior! Disciple! In me the Wishmaster Elbereth Lorien A dreamy-eyed child staring into night On a journey to storyteller's mind Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him Distant sigh from a lonely heart "I'll be with you soon, my Shalafi" Grey Havens my destiny Master!... Silvara Starbreeze Sla-Mori the one known only by Him To august realms, the sorcery within If you hear the call of arcane lore, Your world shall rest on Earth no more A maiden elf calling with her cunning song "Meet me at the Inn of Last Home" Heartborne will find the way! Master!... Wishmaster Crusade for Your will A child, dreamfinder The Apprentice becoming... Master!... 02. Sleepwalker
Close your eyes
Feel the ocean where passion lies Silently the senses Abandon all defences A place between sleep and awake End of innocence, unending masquerade That's where I'll wait for you Hold me near you So close I sear you Seeing, believing Dreaming, decieving A place between sleep and awake End of innocence, unending masquerade That's where I'll wait for you Sleepwalker seducing me I dare to enter your ecstacy Lay yourself now down to sleep In my dreams you're mine to keep (Sleepwalk with me...) Sleepwalker seducing me... 03. Passion And The Opera
Princess of lust
Dignity put to dust A virginal sight Their apple to bite Drink from my thighs The rain of lies A sight so cursed Breasts which never nursed An Aphrodite for mortal souls Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles Their erotic hour my tearless weep Their satisfaction my infinite sleep Naked limbs reflecting from the moon I'll be there for you soon First wish for this night: Let me be your delight Body of a virgin Soul to the Devil's kin Your God is me In all that you see An Aphrodite for mortal souls... 04. Nightquest
Born to the false world the wanderer
Storyteller the pied piper On a quest for immortality Gathering a troop to find the fantasy Lead by a maid queen of the night Voice of angel such a divine sight An amazon to fight and cure This reality with her feline lure Patriotic to the promised land Of never-waking dream Nightquest a quest not for the past But for tomorrow to make it last Simply the best way to walk this life Hand in hand with a dreamer's mind Enter the realm don't stay awake The dreams remain they only break Forget the task enjoy the ride And follow us into the night A merry minstrel with his fingers fast Playing his lute charming every lass Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye "Shall I find fame - or shall I die?" Warrior with power along the path A hammerheart his gallantry to last Rhythm of sirens enemies take heed For in this war laws are in silent sleep Patriotic to the promised land Of never-waking dream Nightquest a quest not for the past... Come to the Elfland the eldest said In my guidance you shall not be afraid I am the mastermind the wizard to show the way... Nightquest a quest not for the past... First ones to walk this path of night Lady in black lady in white Followed by legions of night-time wanderers Guardians of the halls of heart When we from my homeland depart To challenge the gods of emptiness May the quest begin! 05. A Return To The Sea
A star falls down from the darkened sky
Where new worlds born and die Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow What it means is soon to be known Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu To honor this moment even the heavens cease Giant spiders learn how to swim With whales they form a united kin Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound Trilobite & Anymalocharis The prey and the hunter Survival of the fittest Fall of Man Seadrops foam all empty human skulls Those on the shores of Atlantis Darwin's resurrection is witnessed By turtles he used to play with Healed and happy She oversees The Mother The tyrant's return to the sea 06. Once Upon A Troubadour
A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too I just might reward myself with a beer or two This inn the place of many romantic tales On the loft women offer their sales But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone A slave she is but for me a rose undone Hear me sing Watch me dance Play that lute of thine And share with me this dance As she danced my eyes began to shine There she was the maiden so divine How could I approach her with my outlook so poor Her beauty being much more than I could endure So I asked if I could sing a chanson With a language of ancient and of lore Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags Soon were the melodies heard by everyone Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us this tale With a clap of hands The stories long-forgotten we still know Performing our skills wherever we go I end my story as I receive a kiss From my girl the dearest Beatrice Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us the tales Which the music will keep alive |
