01. Mary Celeste
Leaderless in misty fog No souls left onboard Abandoned sailing far from shores Denied to reach her port
Mournful voices, howling screams Are carried by the wind In misty nights the ocean sings Of those who died therein
The whole ship a wet mess Vanished souls of Mary Celeste This shall be their final fate To sing the oceans’s secret tale
Yearning ghosts on ocean’s ground Still remain undone With every fallen teardrop’s sound Another verse is sung
02. Crystals Of Forgiveness
I remember Thy voice as a promise Carressing my soul Doubt has grown and poisoned me Abusing angel’s secret wishes To fill the lack that Thou hast left With crystals of forgiveness
And these tears are just for me To keep this sacred memory Sheltered from Thy words Nothing but the truth has passed
Step closer, angel, touch my skin Enchant my heart with all Thy sin
03. Fragile
Moonlight glowing carefully Caressing my mind’s eye With fragile moments of distress Memories (denied)
Voices whisper silently Intensively my name Assuring me to find an end Their echoes still remain
Ghosts and demons, come to me Grant me sight upon the stars I know, there is still more to see Inside it’s only dark…
How I wish that I could speak To someone by my side And how I wish that I could see A world before my eyes
Moonlight glowing carefully Caressing my mind’s eye I hide inside my inner self Since nothing is outside
04. Forgiven
Punish me, my darkness As I wander blind On paths I never dared to go Lead me until I find
And now that I am willing To reach another day I find myself forgiven No words are left to say
Wipe me now, my silence As I still am deaf To words I never dared to hear Guide me until I speak
Awaken, oh my senses As I cannot feel Dreams I never dared to share Lead me until I kneel
05. Adore
How long will I drown you In the sea? How long will I miss you To be free?
Oh, how I adore life By God, it’s just not mine Those single moments I enjoy I could leave them anytime
How long will I trust you? Care for me How long will I hold you? Eternally
Wisdom, fill my empty mind Divine shall I become And hide behind my mask of pride Forgiveness yet undone…
06. Masquerade
I thought I opened myself Shared my deepest passion Was so sure that you beheld My secret dream’s redemption
Nothing here has ever changed Still I kneel in confidence Wait for the winds to take my hand Truth drowns before my eyes
Let me not see its honour fade Balmy pain in masquerade Please let truth retain its soul Far away we will grow old
All alone I find no grace Only last word’s cold embrace Lost emotions I once knew I give what I should take from you
07. Sweet Desolation
The voice of water wakens me A tale of sorrow told Let me to its breathing listen And in my heart its pain behold As I leave I’ll often turn Makes me think it’s not in vain Unearthly singing guides my way Sweet desolation where I’ll stay
Into some wond’rous worlds I’ll go And hide this pain you’ll never know Predestin’d path, I follow Thee Keep their truth away from me
I turn to you, my dear bereaved And innocence is called away Let me, for one moment please Find freedom, no more freedoms shade This is what you all desire Life is here to once expire Breathe a prayer into the night To frighten death as he frightens light
08. Moments (Touched by time)
Shelter me from what I feel For what I know should not be real Silence breaks into my mind I listen to its voice divine
A single moment, touched by time So useless with Thy words combined Growing through the past of mine Nothing yet remains
I wipe at their deceitful fate Wipe that all their pain is desolate Remember now what could have been If only they could learn to see…
Painful seems it, death to serve Through broken mirrors I observe Birth again, and all the same I watch them slowly pass away
A single thought by fear disturbed What I now swear shall not be heard No modern mind will know these words Since all have passed away
09. Breathe
Lie to me Shelter me Burn my youth Rape the truth…
Wound me deep Watch me bleed Feel my pain All the same…
Pain will surely end someday Nothing here can harm me Pain will surely end someday I am a widow of my grief
Cease to breathe On your knees Fall asleep Cry for me…
All we’ve shared Be prepared Break my heart Never part…
Live my dream Still unseen Hope has died So have I…
10. Solace
Will I find solace in a world without tomorrow? Will I find silence when I fall asleep? Deep slumber eases pain and all my sorrow May I never wake up from this final dream
You should be thankful each time I wake up Another day to learn what patience means
Seems so easy to betray those very moments That I hide inside my faithful heart Voices whisper "never say you're sorry" I never thought this could go so much too far
Have I lost the world outside my conscious? Finally reached the desert of failed dreams
11. Life's Last Shore
I found a way to just forget To leave these days without regret May they mourn and may they cry Remembrance will stay alive
Sin so far away from silence This is where I long to be Another death to teach alliance When will this empty world teach me?
An endless path through gloomy air I implore thee, angel, never dare To follow me until the end I hope you’ll never understand
Blessed I feel this world to leave In the beauty of a silent eve I’ve known this long before So I will drown on life’s last shore
12. Borrowed Life
On silent shores we once stood Listening to the waves Slipping into distant dreams Free to become slaves
In cloudless nights we once awoke Staring at the lack of light Hiding before worlds unseen Free to ignore their sight
Teardrops falling down So mortal and sublime I shiver as I speak Beneath the dawn of time
In dreamless sleep we once arrived Breathing impulse, borrowed life
13. Paralyzed
She noticed it in the way that he talked She knew that he did not say what he thought She just could wait for the time He decided he would give her a sign To stay... or to go away...
He was her harbour, her home Always there but also always alone She forgot he wasn’t stronger than her And sometimes he needed someone to care He couldn’t say "I want you to stay..."
