1. Wundenozean
Vom Throne hernieder ins weinende Tal
Fiel blutend der Engel verklärt seine Qual
Die Elfen im Mondschein umarmten den Knaben
Verführt ward der Jüngling von schneeweißen Raben
Siehst du die Flammen am Ende des Weges
Den Engel davor die dornigen Speere
Ewiger Frühling erfordert zorniges Streben
Nach zaubernden Feen im tanzenden Regen
Laßt mich allein in meinem Leid
Ergötzt euch nur am Wundenweib
Trauer, Sünden, Bitterkeit
Flammentränen, Hexenleib
Der Sonne letzter Atemzug
Erstickt im schwarzen Grabgesang
Nächte weinen, doch nicht genug:
Feuerweltenuntergang
Erlaubt mir einen Blick ins Nichts
Schenkt uns ein wenig Heiterkeit
Ich bin dein Schatten seh niemals Licht
Ein Prost auf meine Einsamkeit
Verflucht sind wir den Tag zu sehen
Um blind dem Nachtwind nachzugehen
Verflucht sind wir den Wein zu trinken
Der nachts durch unsere Wunden strömt
2. Oh Dear Beloved Marblequeen
...and love remains a constant river
may sadness flee from stars delivered
the sunwheel burns in ancient grace
on marble stairs the soulspawn race...
Take this old rose and go to the stones
Where a twin-flower grows without love
I know of your leave you've spread on the ground
Let my sunbrother weave a flamedove
Shimmering nightfalls contain lunar blood
My halls are so barren and empty
I kneel on our hill while sunshine awakes but
no one to share the grandeur with me
Oh dear, oh dear
wail morningtear
Oh dear, my dear
moonqueen waits here
The presence of autumn allows me to dream
about silver-pearled breasts obscene
Imagine a goddess unbound to spacetime
would you taste the crestfallen wine
Look into thy springlit mirror
Do you see thine goldforged eyes
Save my orbit kiss ye wounds
Fairyland or flaming scythe
Summer's melting heart shines blue
Deepblue like a secret flower
Away, away with all thine sorrow
Labyrinth or cosmic tower
Diamond nails and autumnswords
Rainspeared symbols loose their tongues
Is there one beyond the line
who tells me where my soul belongs to
Bow to winter's crystal ocean
Count thy stars thine firmament
Arrows run through undressed visions
Godwinged bird or restless end
On marble stairs we float and dance without rings
Our wedding is eternal we don't need mortal strings
Love me like I love you and feed my starving flame
A serenade in minor could fill the empty frame
3. Among Thy Midnight Kings
Sweet moonchild
Have thou ever seen
A snowfall day
In summer green
Undress your shame
And probe the keys
Dark fountain
Of my tragedies
Like flutes we ride
On soulforged wings
Flamedance among
Thy midnight kings
My rage unfurled
I bid farewell
No turning back
You've chosen hell
4. Snowfall Summerdream
We are flames among the flameless
and we have wings to kiss the snow
We hold sway over the seasons
Yet we bear the moaning ones below
We are stars among the starless
and we weave rhymes with magic words
We bring fortune to the rainland
A dress of feathers made by dreams
Cosmic celebration - Heavenly vibration
Patterns of creation - Salvation
Remind of snowfall summerdreams
They used to speed through unexplored extremes
I kiss your rose
A souljuicelake
We die as one
Come forth daybreak
And if there were thousand oceans
to catch the wisdom of my soultears
they wouldn't bear their weight
...from funeral to funeral we dance
I worship all the hamonies
that own a lake to dream
Sometimes the waves have silver crowns
Souldiamonds to redeem
"I tell you thy gruesome legend of a long forgotten cosmic tribe,
that lived far beyond from all mortal poems.
Only gods had seen the sea of strongholds...
an endless wave with magic crowns...
stronger than a dream and higher than an angel could fly.
This tribe wove thousand horizons to drink that perfection.
Many leaves fell to the ground and many withered in thy flameless
frost. Some of them came back to burn their homes.
But one of them has sown a new tribe
...THY TRIBE OF GODSEND WINGS"
Remind of snowfall summerdreams
Again they storm through unexplored extremes
Your crimson robe
Eclipsed by milk
Outstretched redeemer
Sunbed of silk
Strange sentiments
Unspoken spell of restless love
You've seen the snowfall summer
And meadows dressed in woven green
Strange bridal kiss
You've found the lake of twofold bliss
Magic curse and bloodstained wings
We've joined the tribe as godsend kings
Remind of snowfall summerdreams
5. A Cosmos For A Lovestarved Child
had this vision true and wise
of a winter's gravedance dawning twice
Painful life
Joyful death
I hail you under the spiritual flag
of the sunthorncosmos
My heartbeam was wingless and the skygreens were grey
Hark, I starved of a cosmos at my soulbirth in may
I emerged from the stones with a flamebunch of mirth
A weight that is more than a lifetime on earth
Chaosoven threads
And miracles of soulspawn pain
A sparkling shade
Amidst the purple edenflame
A black woeful raven crossed the sunconquered plain
Starved of love and withered with an ode to the rain
Unravel thy secret thou keeper unseen
And write down your rune in emerald green
Chaosoven threads
And miracles of soulspawn pain
A sparkling shade
Amidst the purple edenflame
Seeds unbroken and wings sailing free
December birds have churned up the sea
Newborn dreams, oh please cherish the night
The winter dies with a promise, moonchild:
...
Chaosoven threads
And miracles of soulspawn pain
A sparkling shade
Amidst the purple edenflame
6. Where The Nights Still Dance
Once upon a time there was a queen without a royal smile
She used to watch the crimson stage when sun and sea collided
One night the spirits entered her chamber
and winter's talons escaped from existence
Through wormholes we are yet our task is to be
We slip into pictures, spiritlands, astral trees
Cheerful she balanced on heavendressed shorelines
Her virtues reached out for her centre unlogic
Moonrose ennobled by thorns
Horizon's eclipse will flow into dawn
I burn down ye stronghold and I burn down ye kin
Kneel down to thy scythe, praise my soulhorde of sin
Sorrowed breath we are
Midnight mood soulstar
On melting flames we drift above your sombre aura
Our nights still dance where Lord Sun never falls
Dosown me bright angel I spit onto you
Ephemeral lights won't paint my sky blue
Oh princess come and yearn for me
I save your tragic smile
We rise together hand in hand
to starlit mountainsides
You flee, you flee Lord Tragedy
Perfection - Chaos - End
I procreate thy wicked seed
Our satan hails thy damned
We are gods... undying ornaments in an everlasting cycle...
painting the frame for the nightfall orchestration,
as the sun yields her stage to the moonqueen
7. Godbirds
A godbird bears the wisdom
of a million striving lilies
We are godbirds
Diamond coloured angel
Yearning to fly
Because we are godbirds
Wail thou dancer
Wail thou child
Thy godbirds leave their castle
Dark frozen autumnside
Your flaming dress
Your charming smile
I would flee from eden's safety
A blind man for a while
Why do you search for the graveyard in me
As moongold awakes on my cheek
Grey meadows in june like sheltering hands
That bleed in the wombs of thy weak
She married my knowledge
Crimson shorelines to sort
With her steed named loverebellion
Riding sunblessed fiords
Astral fires burning
Distant galaxies
We hut to feed your wisdom
Perpetual odyssey
Hail thou dancer
Hail thou child
thy godbirds join their kingdom
Bright velvet autumnside
I love your robe
I love your smile
Could I flee from eden's safety
to kiss you with a sigh?
Why do you search for the graveyard in me
As moongold awakes on my cheek
Grey meadows in june like sheltering hands
That bleed in the wombs of thy weak
8. Sunset Funeral
Im Herzen ein Schloß, verborgen und kalt
Umgeben von Stille und endlosem Wald
Im Herzen ein Schwert, erhaben und stolz
Wer küsst meine Burg aus Sonnenholz
Im Herzen ein Gott, verloren und arm
Nur deine Flammen halten mich warm
Forever the echoes of the sunrise eve
They still vibrate in mine ears
If a maiden opened the primeval gate
This world would freeze in divine fear
Nocturnal windows
Corners to sleep
Dark illustrations
Funeral leap
Let's dance as if the sky would tear us apart
All thine crimson pearls do flow
Into a fairyboat of love
Where fiery odes unveil their splendour
Rise tranquil utopia
Misantropic borders clash
While fever turns to rain
Like feathered snow in summers dress
Your pulse should beat in shame
Join thy sunset funeral
Unsheltered tragedy indeed
We hold the rose and praise ourselves
We children of the postdawnseed
Nein Bronzeleib auf welkem Laub
Am letzten Sommertage
Dämonen zürnen ehern taub
Der Sonnenweltensage
