Sitting on a filthy floor Somewhere in a subway station Can't handle your life no more Sick of talk and confrontation Beyond your borrowed dreams Your whole life turns back to grey Beyond your borrowed dreams Your sad life will fade away
You took the easy way Out of your misery Now you're free of all dismay But time will teach you Now you're caught in a world That's exactly how you want it to But then you are hurled Back to the Life from which you flew
"Dusk Embraces Loneliness" Dusk embraces loneliness My futile misery Slowly I die away For all of you to see When the night is overwhelmed To make room for the day I move on to some other place Like a rose I'll fade away
Deep inside my soul Time passes by For one last time No more tears are left to cry Like a rose you'll fade away With every hour, every day Thorns and Blossoms die away Like the words you forgot to say
When the sun has risen My eyes have grown so dim I close them for the last time To conserve the joy I've seen
"Love Is Lost" When the sun drops behind the Mountains Never to rise again When comes the Death of the starlit fountains Never to shine again Then the Gardens show withered flowers Never to bloom again And the crops will enjoy their last harvest Hear the weeping of a thousand widows In this Time of war Where powermongers expand their wealth Fall victim to the evil's lore Hear the mourners come and pray To bury their beloved Who lost their lives in senseless wars Will someone understand
In our Time where love is gone The harvest of souls it has begun The dark clouds from above come down Satan came to claim his crown It's not the evil from down below Which creeps and lurks under the snow It's not of Satan's will we fall It's due to the evil in us all
"Innocent Guilt" I see people with no faces Lost souls searching helplessly All their words, they leave no traces Hatred rising deep in me A presence I want to annihilate No reasons for feelings this intense I lose myself in dreams of killing I lose control and every sense
But someone who I never saw before Pushed my hatred way up high A former foe from former times A fog of memories passing by Trying to be rational To control myself again Find a reason for this all But my search will be in vain
Although I do not know you Although you bear no Guilt Although you seem so innocent I feel the need of killing you
"Bitterkeit" Tief in einer Welt Wo Gefuhle nichtig sind Bin ich eingesperrt Vor Hass schon vollig blind Das Leben in der andren Welt Ist mir schon vollig fern Wie der Mond am Abendhimmel Ich kann es mir nicht erklaren
Die Tranen sind der einzige Zeuge Das ich selbst noch existier' Nahe dem letzten Schritt Doch etwas halt mich hier Du bist der einzige Grund Der mir Hilft hier zu bestehen Wahrst du nicht hier tief bei mir Wurd' den letzten Schritt schon gehen
Uberall ist Bitterkeit Verzweiflung und der Tod Blut und totes Fleisch Werden unser taglich Brot Die Liebe zu Dir halt mich Und gibt mir neue Kraft Um Hier zu uberleben Bald ist es geschafft
Ich sehe mich im Spiegel Doch erkenne ich mich nicht So entstellt vom Treiben hier Eine Fratze, mein Gesicht
"To Everlasting Oblivion" Thou mighty gulf, insatiate cormorant Deride me not, thought I seem petulant To fall into thy chops. Let others pray For ever their fair poems flourish may. Far worthier lines in silence of thy state Do sleep securely free from love or hate, From which this living never can be exempt But whilst it breathes will hate and fury tempt
But as for me, hungry oblivion Devour me quick, accept my orison My earnest prayers, which do importune thee, With gloomy shade of thy still empery, To vail both me and my poesy Then close his eyes with thy all-dimming hand, Which not right glorious actions can withstand Peace, hateful tongues, I now in silence pace Unless some hound do wake me from my place I with this sharp, yet well meant poesy Will sleep secure, right free from injury Of cankered hate, or rankest villainy
"Place Of Refuge" Built on wooden stakes of sorrow By masoners of hatred risen Out of an unseen tomorrow I find my place of refuge My place of refuge...no room for you to search My place of refuge...that lies within my soul My place of refuge...from the world that threaten me My place of refuge...until the final bells do toll
Doors connect each separate chamber Each that bears a different pain Made of diamonds and of amber Of the love I found at last Your warning words were clear I didn't want to listen I broke into your place of refuge And left it torn apart So you could never return To your hideaway
Welcome to my dominion A place where twilight reigns Deep within my fertile soul Built on lives left stains
"The Immortal Part" When I meet the morning beam Or lay me down at night to dream, I hear my bones within me say Another night, another day
Wanderers eastward, wanderers west, Know you why you cannot rest 'Tis that every mother's son Travails with a skeleton
When shall this slough of sense be cast, This dust of thoughts be laid at last The man of flesh and soul be slain And the man of bone remain
Lie down in the bed of dust; Bear the fruit that bear you must Bring the eternal seed to light And morn is all the same as night
This tongue that talks, these lungs that shout These thews that hustle us about This brain that fills the skull with schemes And its humming hive of dreams,
Rest you so from trouble sore, Fear the heat o' the son no more Nor the snowing winter wild Now you labour not with child
These today are proud in power And lord it in their little hour The immortal bones obey control Of dying flesh and dying soul.
Empty vessel, garment cast We that wore you long shall last Another night, another day So my bones within me say
'This long till eve and morn are gone: Slow the endless night comes on And late to fullness growns the birth That shall last as long as earth
