Crush

Fall to your knees hit the dust close your eyes
try to rise as long as you don't realise
that you never will belong to the ones who have been
fortuned to be of the chosen few
i'm just a wanderer on the path of no return
cast on a pyre and waiting for the day to burn
when the stars we tried to reach move out of our range
when we've come to the end and we see that we never will change
when the stars we try to reach fall into the sea
and the demon living inside is trying to break free
downwards the stair to the room of despair
trapped by your mind and the key's not to find
in the ruins of the past overrun with fate
destroyed by the merciless hand of time.
Take back a look tell me what do you see
just a mere shadow abandoned and now that's me
No shimmering light
and no signs that guide the path
A stranger reaches for my hand
his name is death
black death
life has cut my breath
when the stars we tried to reach move out of our range
when we've come to the end and we see that we never will change
when the stars we try to reach fall into the sea
and the demon living inside is going to break free
Go on now and crush
every single of your trust
when you're lying in the dust
the desires in your head
never winding up in bed
Only liberty in death

Disco of the Damned
04:35
|

The moon is gone and the night is ending
my time has come but still I'm standing on my own
And as I make my way on the floor
my eyes are blind with beauty galore
but restrained by invisible chains
Rise, brother rise
from the cradle to the grave
be a slave to yourself
You have to face our chains
of this natural command
Another ale like there's no tomorrow
No oceans large enough to drown my sorrow
till I fall
When will I find a way out of this madness
the circle of eternal sadness
no escape for myself, too late
Rise, brother rise
from the cradle to the grave
be a slave to yourself
You have to face our chains
of this natural command
Dancing in the disco of the damned
Unfortunate dance that never ends
I'll die in the disco of the damned
Fears, deception and death
lurking ahead
Rise, brother rise
from the cradle to the grave
be a slave to yourself
You have to face our chains
of this natural command
Dancing in the disco of the damned
Unfortunate dance that never ends
I'll die in the disco of the damned
Fears, deception and death
lurking ahead

Streets of Hate
05:20
|

embrace the silence
before the storm awakes
under the pound of a million feet
the ground trembles and shakes
approaching sirens
the gates are open wide
i see the hordes of inhumanity vanishing in the night
sail away
soon the oceans blue will fade to grey
live a life among the stars astray
holding out until you reach the day
when we face the storm of souls
impossible chaos
the agonizing screams of mortal souls on the abyss
awaken from their dreams
alas the seventh star arose
with bloodshed and disease
beyond this time of reckoning
the world may rest in peace
when the storm of souls has come to reap us all
face what you have sawn, the final curtain call
in the storm of souls the realms of men will fall
who will be the one to still be standing tall

The Winds of Autumn
04:44
|
|||
Far from the land beyond the sea
came the wind so cold
caressing meadows, passing trees
whispering tales of the old
I stand and watch the dancing leaves
colourful in the sky
As i'm embraced by sudden thoughts
how fast the year has gone by
The storms from the north take their toll
restless they blow
awaken ancient spirits in my heart and my soul
Endless we`re bound to yearn for the
time never to return as the
colours of life are fading away
Winds have been changing their ways
shortened and colder the days
lost every trace of my heart in the autumn light
dreaming forever of a land in a far away time
stormclouds now gather in the sky
soon all life will be gone
swarmbirds are waving their goodbye
follow the path of the sun
The storms from the north take their toll
capturing my soul
raging where the spirits of the winter now roam
Endless we`re bound to yearn for the
time never to return as the
colours of life are fading away
Winds have been changing their ways
shortened and colder the days
lost every trace of my heart in the autumn light
dreaming forever of a land in a far away time

Farewell Forever
06:40
|
|||
A year has passed since i met you last
in the mist of my memories
broken remains of a live we once shared
now there‘s emptiness in me
lost in dead memories i'm longig for you
but these sad words of are silently echoing
out in the night
farewell forever
our paths will never cross again
farewell forever my friend
why did they have to tare apart
our lives and the pieces of my heart
all will remain the same
but the time will never turn for us again
you told me once we could not go
we could not carry on
now it seems there’s nothing left for me
now it ends my hope is gone.
lost in dead memories i'm longig for you
but these sad words of sorrow are echoing
out in the night
farewell forever
our paths will never cross again
farewell forever my friend
you were the one who took the darkness from my life
helped me to find my way through sad and tempest nights
but when the flames rose higher, madness was the price
no star is left upon the blackened autumn skies
farewell forever
our paths will never cross again
farewell forever my friend

Torn Apart
04:33
|

The wheel of time keeps turning
All things come to an end
To change our fated destinies
We break and bend
On the path to wisdom
You can not wait and rest
Fight the demons in your mind and pass the test
Mourning hearts divide in the night
Time is the test we have got to pass
farewell my friend, beginning of the end
So raise your pints for one last time
noone knows when we will meet again
I am in your memories
I am in your dreams
I’m the dark eternal curse
The voice that screams
Try to hide in mountains
Shelter from the pain
I’m the clouds above your head
The burning rain
He searched his fate on the other side
of the land he lived till that day
a quest of hope and he left his home
to return with pride one day
He lived in the shed of an old man
underneath the roof where the rain came through
and he worked all day as a slave
already was forgotten by the ones he knew
Winters passed and his hair went grey
since he never saw the light of day
dwelling in a cave in the earth he cried
for the dreams that been torn away

Song about a Troll
04:42
|
|||
Under the bridge in the shade next to the river
there lived an evil bad troll
speaking of him made the villagers shiver
for he did not want their gold
one day this yound girl, she wanted to go to the city
spend all the money she stole
thought to herself 'I am cute and I'm pretty.
Think I can outsmart that troll.'
No she never believed in the tales
Trusted noone in the world but only herself
Went to the bridge of stone
Passed a pile of rotting bones
So be warned girl:
Don't walk to the bridge alone
Evil and hungry troll hides in the stone
He'll drag you back to his lair
and you know what's happening there
Nothing remains of you but bones and hair
Up jumped the troll and he grabbed the girl by her feet
raising her up in the air
'What have we got here? A lovely piece of meat
that I for dinner prepare.'
'You can't do that, I'm too beautiful to be cooked.
Roasting me would be a waste.'
'Truly I don't give a damn about your looks.
I only care for your taste'
so he pulled her out of her clothes
Tied her up and off she went into his stove
Nothing she could do but roast
While the troll prepared some toast
So be warned girl:
Don't walk to the bridge alone
Evil and hungry troll hides in the stone
He'll drag you back to his lair
and you know what's happening there
Nothing remains of you but bones and hair
