Oh mother, are there horses on the moon?
I saw them last night Through the looking glass tube One horse was red, the other was blue Running and rolling, Where the moonflowers bloom Oh mother, are there tigers in the sea? Tumbling and swimming, Like dolphins, they breathe. Happy and graceful at the bottom of the sea Playing like children and they look just like me Oh mother, are there fish in the trees? Casting their fire... Eating the leaves Through the window i saw them Flying so free But I am in here... How can this be? Oh mother, is there life here beyond? A place in the clouds after i'm gone Where I can paint, play and belong Sing with my friends And they're singing along... There's a crack in the window An open door There's a place in the hollow Across the moor I see the end of the morning My dying fear It's the eternal dawning Oh, take me there... I feel the teardrops falling I hear the Moonhorse calling I see the black moon rivers To the night I'm given 02. Pandora's Egg Lyrics by Leif Edling
Listen to what mama said
Death they buried inside the egg Long ago when time was young Deep down under mountain old Lies all sickness of the world Never touch what should not Be touched Never go where you should not go Never heal what should not be healed Why does it rain all the time? Doomsday Omen... And everything just starts to crack Pandora's Egg... is black! In the dungeons... poison bleeds... Frost and fire Into the bloodstream of the Human seed... To crush empires And you will set it free... You will let it loose... Egg of evil Door to darkness The gate is open The seal is broken The gods, they filled the egg so full With wickedness, with cold and cruel With everything that makes us cry All our sins, they breed and grow Like a never-ending stream they flow Into our hearts, and slowly we die Inside our hearts, slowly we die In my heart... I die inside... 03. Avatarium Lyrics by Leif Edling
Here inside the holy...
My private sanatorium East of Lynx and Lyra... And left of Aquarius A secret spot, a shrine... My own little pantheon A place of temptation... So I can go beyond (So I can carry on) Avatarium The smallest room can be... A giant Colosseum Here inside my frontal... Lobe cerebrum It's a sanctuary... A magic falsarium Where I create the Greatest mysterium Avatarium It's my asylum, my great auditorium Where I drink the lifeblood Plan the rebellion Here's my mausoleum, The subbasement wonder room 4 silver stallions, a road to Pandemonium So many voices inside my head... Avatarium They speak of the living They speak of the dead... Avatarium I am among friends, or am I misled? Avatarium I drink to you with a bleeding heart I call for you when my heart is scarred I need your love in the darkly hours You are all, my Avatars 04. Boneflower Lyrics by Leif Edling
In skull forest, shadows hang
Same old story, love is blind Fools and beggars, kings and priests A thousand corpses look like leaves Come in pairs, share the wish They go like one after cold last kiss Dark-boned bodies from the trees Have passed the door to the after-life meet In skull forest... light has fled Oh, boneflower... adorns the dead From the branches lovers hang One way trip to the promised land Side by side and hand in hand Nobody knows if dreams were found In skull forest... light has fled Oh, boneflower... adorns the dead In skull forest, the brave they hang The ones that lost or the ones that won? To nurse the dream, to go or stay? If you have a heart, you go all the way 05. Bird Of Prey Lyrics by Leif Edling
There he is, man in masque...
Human bird of prey Like the plague he elevates, From the sewers of decay Sharpened claws, noble face... Impeccable facade Merciless and grim; The Bird of Prey Fog and night, Berlin square... A demon in the street The Czar of blood appears With a tongue so black and sweet Crooked smile, a butcher's knife... A crying moon betrays Who is there to save you, From the Bird of Prey? A bed of roses and glass... Winter months they pass I'm drowning like a little girl in May A sharp smell of Cologne, I'm dying here alone Is all this beauty just for me? 06. Tides Of Telepathy Lyrics by Leif Edling
Thoughts bound and concentrated
Burning like pyres Opens new windows In space and time Magnified energy A radiating brain Dark electricity My mind screams with pain Uncharted powers, So beyond my control Sending out signals To a parallel world White noise invasion A vortex of amber Wipes out the enemy From my telepathic chamber Tides of telepathy Wave after wave Psychic technology Who are you? Ancient machinery Pulses released Goes through the Airwaves Psychic war Oh can you hear me? I'm left here alone Anybody out there? My mind's shutting down 07. Lady In The Lamp Lyrics by Leif Edling
In the darkly fade
She gives a serenade Lifts the clouds away Stars around her face Her light, it fills the room The wizard in his gloom Enchanted... In her cage She sings before the Mage It is late, but she's awake... And the silver curtain falls Her eyes, never cries... In a tower full of spells 40 magic nights and 40 magic days Without a word, The orchestra they play She smiles and sings In a state of trance She knows her life will end, When the last chord dies Lady in the lamp Trapped inside a prison made of glass Gives her little dance in The Necromancer's hand Lady in the lamp |
