An großem Tische sinkt er darnieder, draußen die Welt im Schlafe ruht Schon zu lang hat es gedauert, fließend entlädt sich seine Wut Einem Leichentuch gleich senkt sich Dunkel auf das Haupt Zitternd Hand führt noch die Feder, deren Glieder kläglich taub Worte wandern spielerisch, ohne Reue auf Papier Hoffnungslos und arg zertrümmert stand er gegenüber ihr Er schmeckt Asche in seinem Mund, Qualm in die Gedanken dringt Die Lungen drängen sich in Rauch, während der Dachstuhl Feuer fängt Er umwickelt nun die Worte, zurrt sie fest mit einem Band, schleudert sie so ewig weiter an den fernen Weltenrand Welcher Keil schlug diese Wunden, dunkle Tage warn‘ ihm fremd. Nun steht er alleinig da, wo das Feuer Haut verbrennt Schmerzen fühlt er keine mehr, das was ihn ans' Leben band. Nichts tut weh, nur ein Gedanke, als er in ihren Augen Liebe fand

After years of wandering rejected by the family, I'm finally going home. In the dead of night, the deeply cut gorge is the last obstacle. Alone and abandoned, I have to make my way through fog and undergrowth. The attack is unexpected. Sneaky and cowardly, He rushes at me from an ambush. Pereundum tibi erit Non moriar, sed vivam Both fighters are equal. Nobody evades. The wrestling match lasts until dawn. As the day breaks my opponent begs to be let go. thus he was defeated. It was God himself who led this cowardly blow; I put him to flight, Forever!

Of grief 04:48
Life slips through our fingers A (sorrowful) remembrance of the past A sorrowful vision of tomorrow All is doomed and lost The world we see Only shows different shades of grey People around are only puppets The smell of the city Is the putrid smell of despair Our grief leads us slowly to the end The end of grief & despair The end of life

Prophecies are smashed Ghosts born in an evil flesh There’s anger in the air Smell of fear & despair The scapegoats die tonight Eyes so scared & wide Shattered dreams of innocence There’s blood on all our hands In the corner of an eye You walk behind the light Mother of the mist We’re waiting for your deadly kiss Prophecies are smashed Ghosts born in an evil flesh The night will turn again We’ll die in the red rain Oh – father you shall Be ready for the fall There’s coming a new king Dressed in dead angels wings

Leave the heart that doesn’t beat anymore. I’ve got a dark past And a murderous memory. And a destructive conciousness. What I’m thinking about, Is what I do. This Heart – it shakes through my throat. It’s not yours. It pumps my blood through your veins. I take it back – Mirror yourself. I don’t feel any commitment anymore, That it is possible to have This little respect for each other. My hands are hurting From scratching the shit from your mouth. This Heart – it shakes through my throat. It’s not yours. It pumps my blood through your veins. I take it back – Mirror yourself.

There was a time in this world When we could walk proudly And hold our heads high. We had our own rites and customs And our own beliefs. But then vassalage began And we were subjugated by Christianity. They although killed women and children, Just because they insisted on their freedom. They stopped at nothing. In doing so, they preached charity And one should not kill or steal. But what did they do? They killed anyone who didn’t get on their side. They stole our land and our independence. Now after hundreds of years, Most have come to terms with it And accept this oppression. No pride and no honor. Where are those glorious days of yore? Do not be oppressed any longer! Fight against this Christian slavery! Together we are stronger! We bring back the golden age! The fight begins! Now!

Nebelschwaden, Wolkenberge, Jahr um Jahr dasselbe Spiel Kälte schleicht in alte Knochen, das Schicksal neigt sich seinem Ziel Hatt‘ niemals Angst vor großer Stille, in mir gefangen ohne Sinn Regungslos und klamm benommen, schwind‘ ich in die Zeit dahin Die Vogelnester längst verlassen, allein der Abendhimmel glüht Wissend blick‘ ich auf die Felder, wo das Leben längst verblüht Und mir zu Füßen erden ruht nun bunter Blüten schwache Welt Ringend erlieg‘ ich diesen Tagen, wo der Blätterregen fällt Die Gedanken streifen weiter, grau der Momente voller Glück An das Scheitern meines Wirkens sinne ich mich nun zurück Doch die Gewalt des Lebenszyklus reißt mich unerbittlich fort Dereinst wird mein Licht erstrahlen, erneut an fernem, fremden Ort
