VISIONS OF ATLANTIS LYRICS
"Morning in Atlantis" (2000 Demo)
1. Lovebearing storm
2. Mermaid´s wintertale
3. Seduced like magic
1. Lovebearing storm
Lovebearing storm
Drowning, lost in the dark cold night
Where she needed me to stay at her side
For the first time I saw my want and will
By her dreams I was chosen to fulfill
Night by night into sleep he fell
Where the need for love gave me my own hell
In the deepest gloom of his misery:
“Will the light of real love ever shine for me?”
I’m the kingdom
I’m the crown
I keep beholding
Whatever is shown
My love is (made) forever
(For) you and me
“May the light of real love always shine for me!”
No more I’m lost in the dead of the night
We have found each other, a lover, a bride
No more lonesome gazing at the moon anymore
“In your heart I witnessed what my life is for!”
A lover’s promise, the test of time
My heart is yours, will yours be mine
When the storm rose over thy boat at sea
Thou were saving my life, and you cared for me
Beneath the sea I drowned in despair
Was it wise or not to take me there
But no long time passed and the truth did come
For each other we’ve shown up as the only one
A different kind of morning
Light is breaking and dawn over me
Embraced by your gentleness and wisdom
I turn free from sleep
May our hearts beat together
Make eternity shine
for a second of living
A (sweet) moment in time
And riding through the ocean
I see that there’s nothing to fear
For living is like dancing
In the heaven of dreams when you’re near
May the world fall apart now
May the ocean dry
We have seen what it is worth living (for)
For a moment in time
2. Mermaid´s wintertale
In nights when the moon shines
She’s full of unrest
Because her heart often cries
For some gentle caress
When dawn rises up
And she takes the first breath of the new day
She knows that not much she had left
Anywhere else would be more joy to find
Than here in this place where her memories unwind
Of summer that’s gone such a long time ago
Delusions confessed under cold winter snow
I do believe that my life is not mine
I’m weak and I fear that it will take sometime
To find somewhere to be
Where my heart can be free
For a moment of light surely waits there for me
Beyond the endless hallway to the soul
In the most scaring depth
Of this nightmare’s black hole
Gazing at freedom in white, fragile hands
She takes a first look at the first time she’ll dance
His divine embrace will enchant this occasion
His kiss will bring her to her knees if she dares
To open the gates to her most inner self
She will get more than ever she dreamt
Without a trace of a sound I will leave
And find love in the arms of the man of my dreams
A sailor, a fisher, a child of the sea
Doesn’t matter, as long he’s gentle to me…
Would anybody ever care for me?
For a girl that lives beneath the sea?
Would anybody ever hold my hand?
For a moment, for a while
3. Seduced like magic
She took away reality
And brought me to this place to see
I never thought that this could be for real
While often life is cold
And I’m sometimes feeling sold
There seems to be another realm
Where I can feel a higher sense
The way she brought me there
Was somehow wicked and obscure
But like a child I lost the doubt when I saw light
I could not understand how I did breathe
And opened eyes beneath the sea,
But my heart followed her call that took me away
Easily she got me done, this night
I never saw something like this before…
To prey I’m fallen, to seductive art
(of) a mistress of the warm sea at night
A witch of the waves
Storms can’t kill the faith in rainbows
But when the dawn does come you should
Wrap your arms around the right one
No need for nothing else I felt
And so I could let the ice melt
Between us and I took her really near
For a single moment that did take away
My sense for what is real
And what was just a great illusion of a dream
Addicted to her fingertips
I reached out for her hand, her lips
And finally her cloak did disappear
But when I took her in my arms
And held her close, I felt no heart
And found that she was nothing more
Than faking me to death
Reason’s light had got me back, again
So hard to wake, when all you
(thought you) “loved”, is gone
