01. The Poet And The Pendulum

White Lands Of Empathica

The end.

The songwriter`s dead.

The blade fell upon him

Taking him to the white lands

Of Empathica

Of Innocence

Empathica

Innocence

Home

The dreamer and the wine

Poet without a rhyme

A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell

One last perfect verse

Is still the same old song

Oh Christ how I hate what I have become

Take me home

Getaway, runaway, fly away

Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway

I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more

I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Forgive me

I have but two faces

One for the world

One for God

Save me

I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more

I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

My home was there `n then

Those meadows of heaven

Adventure-filled days

One with every smiling face

Please, no more words

Thoughts from a severed head

No more praise

Tell me once my heart goes right

Take me home

Getaway, runaway, fly away

Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway

I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more

I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Forgive me

I have but two faces

One for the world

One for God

Save me

I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more

I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

The Pacific

Sparkle my scenery

With turquoise waterfall

With beauty underneath

The Ever Free

Tuck me in beneath the blue

Beneath the pain, beneath the rain

Goodnight kiss for a child in time

Swaying blade my lullaby

On the shore we sat and hoped

Under the same pale moon

Whose guiding light chose you

Chose you all

“I`m afraid. I`m so afraid.

Being raped again, and again, and again

I know I will die alone.

But loved.

You live long enough to hear the sound of guns,

long enough to find yourself screaming every night,

long enough to see your friends betray you.

For years I`ve been strapped unto this altar.

Now I only have 3 minutes and counting.

I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for”.

Dark Passion Play

2nd robber to the right of Christ

Cut in half - infanticide

The world will rejoice today

As the crows feast on the rotting poet

Everyone must bury their own

No pack to bury the heart of stone

Now he`s home in hell, serves him well

Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell

The morning dawned, upon his altar

Remains of the dark passion play

Performed by his friends without shame

Spitting on his grave as they came

Getaway, runaway, fly away

Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway

I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more

I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Forgive me

I have but two faces

One for the world

One for God

Save me

I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more

I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Today, in the year of our Lord 2005,

Tuomas was called from the cares of the world.

He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day.

The music he wrote had too long been without silence.

He was found naked and dead,

With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.”

Save me

Mother & Father

Be still, my son

You`re home

Oh when did you become so cold?

The blade will keep on descending

All you need is to feel my love

Search for beauty, find your shore

Try to save them all, bleed no more

You have such oceans within

In the end

I will always love you

The beginning.

Up

02. Bye Bye Beautiful

Finally the hills are without eyes

They are tired of painting a dead man`s face red

With their own blood

They used to love having so much to lose

Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins

Did you ever hear what I told you

Did you ever read what I wrote you

Did you ever listen to what we played

Did you ever let in what the world said

Did we get this far just to feel your hate

Did we play to become only pawns in the game

How blind can you be, don`t you see

You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting

Bye bye beautiful

Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white

Blindfold for the blind

Dead siblings walking the dying earth

Noose around a choking heart

Eternity torn apart

Slow toll now the funeral bells

”I need to die to feel alive”

Did you ever hear what I told you

Did you ever read what I wrote you

Did you ever listen to what we played

Did you ever let in what the world said

Did we get this far just to feel your hate

Did we play to become only pawns in the game

How blind can you be, don`t you see

You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting

Bye bye beautiful

It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower

But the flower that forsakes the tree

Someday I`ll learn to love these scars

Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words

…How blind can you be, don`t you see…

…that the gambler lost all he does not have…

Did you ever hear what I told you

Did you ever read what I wrote you

Did you ever listen to what we played

Did you ever let in what the world said

Did we get this far just to feel your hate

Did we play to become only pawns in the game

How blind can you be, don`t you see

You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting

Bye bye beautiful

Up

03. Amaranth

Baptised with a perfect name

The doubting one by heart

Alone without himself

War between him and the day

Need someone to blame

In the end, little he can do alone

You believe but what you see

You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading

Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow

Caress the one, the hiding amaranth

In a land of the daybreak

Apart from the wandering pack

In this brief flight of time we reach

For the ones, whoever dare

You believe but what you see

You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading

Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow

Caress the one, the hiding amaranth

In a land of the daybreak

Reaching, searching for something untouched

Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling

Caress the one, the Never-Fading

Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow

Caress the one, the hiding amaranth

In a land of the daybreak

Up

04. Cadence Of Her Last Breath

Running for her life

The dark rain from her eyes still falls

Breathtaking butterfly

Chose a dark day to live

Save one breath for me

A Loner longing for

The cadence of her last breath

Why do I miss someone

I never met, with bated breath I lay

Seawinds brought her to me

A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life

And all the poetry in the world

Finally makes sense to me

Save one death for me

A Loner longing for

The cadence of her last breath

Put to rest all that`s not life

Drink for beauty and fill my blank page

Sometimes a dream turns into a dream

A Loner longing for

The cadence of her last breath

Up

05. Master Passion Greed

Who the hell are you to tell me

What to do, why to do, why bother

Leech in a mask of virtue

Such waste, to ever think of you again

Hey Judas, your Christess was our love

Hit and run, your will be done

Never sorry, never wrong

More more more more more

Master passion greed

”Hello. How are you?

Let me explain one thing.

All for her and more for me

Why is it so hard to see?

I see no sense in doing this

Not enough for me

I fuck up everything but let me explain.”

Some day you shall flee,

Panting and weak

Master passion greed

All within me gone but pain and hope

Hoping that the pain would fade away

Greed, your master passion

I Feed the mouth that bites me

Mammon, opiate of the masses

The reek of your lies draws flies

Seek her

Seduce her

Tame her

Blame her

Have her

Kill her

Feast on it all

With awakening the tears will begin

To my everlasting shame silence took me

Up

06. Eva

6:30 winter morn

Snow keeps falling, silent dawn

A rose by any other name

Eva leaves her Swanbrook home

A kindest heart which always made

Me ashamed of my own

She walks alone but not without her name

Eva flies away

Dreams the world far away

In this cruel children’s game

There’s no friend to call her name

Eva sails away

Dreams the world far away

The Good in her will be my sunflower field

Mocked by man to depths of shame

Little girl with life ahead

For a memory of one kind word

She would stay among the beasts

Time for one more daring dream

Before her escape, edenbeam

We kill with her own loving heart

Eva flies away

Dreams the world far away

In this cruel children’s game

There’s no friend to call her name

Eva sails away

Dreams the world far away

The Good in her will be my sunflower field

Up

07. Sahara

A ballad of dark queen echoes through night

As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath

1001 nights unseen

The philosopher and the queen

Ancient mariner in a sea of sand

The burning beauty his tomb to die for

1001 nights unseen

The philosopher and the queen

Horizon`s swarming with death

Run!

Heaven has a darkened face

Dunes are soaring, as on a chase

Caravan of the cursed

Chasing him across the waves

May he now rest under aegis of mirage

As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields

1001 nights unseen

The philosopher and the queen

Up

08. Whoever Brings The Night

We seduce the dark with pain and rapture

Like two ships that pass in the night

You and I, a whore and a bashful sailor

Welcome to a sunrise of a dirty mind

All you love is a lie

You one-night butterfly

Hurt me, be the one

Whoever brings the night

The Dark, created to hide the innocent white, the lust of night

Eyes so bright, seductive lies

Crimson masquerade where I merely played my part

Poison dart of desire

All you love is a lie

You one-night butterfly

Hurt me, be the one

Whoever brings the night

Choose a bride

Tonight a fantasy for a zombie

Hurt me, I love to suffer

Your harem`s a dream for free

Enter

Suck from us and live forever

Rotten beauty

Will haunt you for a lifetime

Come with me underwater

And drown to despise me no more

Unholy, unworthy

My night is a dream for free

All you love is a lie

You one-night butterfly

Hurt me, be the one

Whoever brings the night

Up

09. For The Heart I Once Had

Heaven today is but a way

To a place I once called home

Heart of a child, one final sigh

As another love goes cold

Once my heart beat to the rhythm of the falling snow

Blackened below, the river now flows

A stream of molten virgin snow

For the heart I`ll never have

For the child forever gone

The music flows, because it longs

For the heart I once had

Living today without a way

To understand the weight of the world

Faded and torn, old and forlorn

My weak and hoping heart

For the child, for the light

For the heart I once had

I`ll believe and foresee

Everything I could ever be

For the heart I`ll never have

For the child forever gone

The music flows, because it longs

For the heart I once had

Time will not heal a Dead Boy`s scars

Time will kill

For the heart I`ll never have

For the child forever gone

The music flows, because it longs

For the heart I once had

Up

10. The Islander

An old man by a seashore

At the end of day

Gazes the horizon

With seawinds in his face

Tempest-tossed island

Seasons all the same

Anchorage unpainted

And a ship without a name

Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard

He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world

Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts

The ones on their travels homeward from afar

This is for long-forgotten

Light at the end of the world

Horizon crying

The tears he left behind long ago

The albatross is flying

Making him daydream

The time before he became

One of the world`s unseen

Princess in the tower

Children in the fields

Life gave him it all:

An island of the universe

Now his love`s a memory

A ghost in the fog

He sets the sails one last time

Saying farewell to the world

Anchor to the water

Seabed far below

Grass still in his feet

And a smile beneath his brow

This is for long-forgotten

Light at the end of the world

Horizon crying

The tears he left behind so long ago

Up

11. Last Of The Wilds

Strumentale

Up

12. 7 Days To The Wolves

The wolves, my love, will come

Taking us home where dust once was a man

Is there Life before a Death?

Do we long too much and never let in?

Howl

7 days to the wolves

Where will we be when they come

7 days to the poison

And a place in heaven

Time drawing near as they come to take us

This is my church of choice

Love`s strength standeth in love`s sacrifice

For the rest, I have to say to you

I will dream like the God

And suffer like all the dead children

Howl

7 days to the wolves

Where will we be when they come

7 days to the poison

And a place in heaven

Time drawing near as they come to take us

This is

Where heroes

And cowards

Part ways

Light the fire, feast

Chase the ghost, give in

Take the road less traveled by

Leave the city of fools

Turn every poet loose

Up

13. Meadows Of Heaven

I close my eyes

The lantern dies

The scent of awakening

Wildhoney and dew

Childhood games

Woods and lakes

Streams of silver

Toys of olden days

Meadows of heaven

The flowers of wonder

And the hidden treasures

In the meadow of life

My acre of heaven

A 5-year-old winterheart

In a place called home

Sailing the waves of past

Meadows of heaven

Rocking chair without a dreamer

A wooden swing without laughter

Sandbox without toy soldiers

Yuletide without the Flight

Dreambound for life

Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden

Until I see the 1st star of fall

I fall asleep

And see it all:

Mother`s care

And color of the kites

Meadows of heaven

Up

14. Escapist

Who’s there knocking at my window?

The Owl and the Dead Boy

This night whispers my name

All the dying children

Virgin snow beneath my feet

Painting the world in white

I tread the way and lose myself into a tale

Come hell or high water

My search will go on

Clayborn Voyage without an end

A nightingale in a golden cage

That’s me locked inside reality’s maze

Come someone make my heavy heart light

Come undone bring me back to life

It all starts with a lullaby

Journey homeward bound

A sound of a dolphin calling

Tearing off the mask of man

The Tower my sole guide

This is who I am

Escapist, paradise seeker

Farewell now time to fly

Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies

A nightingale in a golden cage

That’s me locked inside reality’s maze

Come someone make my heavy heart light

Come undone bring me back to life

It all starts with a lullaby

Up
