Cryptic Carnage
Album • 1998
A river cuts the land in half Each side of it equally beautiful Willows and oaks, rough and old They still hold the voices of birds A touch of green revives the nature And the sun brings back all living Spring has finally come Overhelming one with pleasure Seems as if the trees try to tell The stories they heared long ago Nothing has changed in 800 years Listen carefully for this is true...

Itґs springtime and close to june Forest and country are fresh and green For duke and mistress-ready for hunt Await for the trek of the duke The call of wild of redeer and of swine It entice the lord to stay here It entice the baliffs daughter too A girl-just a gracious wife He starts to loving her-after all the time However rich a man may be He has eyes but still can`t see What there is to come tomorrow And what the future holds for him All his money will not be A guide through life for him From all parts of his land-peasants arriveed To bait the wild for their duke They hunt with spears with arrows and with dogs Each lord of the duke`s land- they let it know The duke calls up-for coming on However rich a man may be He has eyes but still can`t see What there is to come tomorrow And what the future holds for him All his money will not be A guide through life for him

A tradition old and cruel It's rulers pleasure, it's peasant's pain A rule that was born long ago Only for the benefit of one! Einst ein Fürst ohne Gnaden Hat Weib, hat Kind, hat keine Plagen Ihn quält die Unruh' Tag und Nacht! In seinen Träumen ihn - Maria lacht! Maria ein Weib von minderem Stand Hat Vater, hat Mutter, hat einen Mann Arm ist sie, kann trotzdem lieben, Karg ist ihr Haus - doch ist sie zufrieden! Der Fürst ihr lockt mit Ruhm und Glanz Ihrem Manne, die Treue hält sie voll und ganz Der Herr beruft sich auf alt Pergament, Ein Recht, das sich -PRIMAE NOCTIS- nennt Die erste Nacht will der Fürst sich bewahren Maria bleibt treu es ist ihr Verderben...! Ein Ritus alt und garnicht Recht Dem Herren gut dem Bauern schlecht Gemeines Gebot aus alten Tagen, Nur einer wird sich daran laben!

Anonymous and all in black His right-tightly holding the axe The axe-inevitable for the work The executioner is waiting silently They lived to die so bitterly! [Duke:] "So end her father`s live now and leave her pleading for hers own!" [Girl:] "Master, still you never get what someone else has already won!" They lived to die so bitterly! [Duke:] "Be quiet now it is enough! My rage is only growing Proceed-and kill her lover Again the shadow moves...

One morning the duke then Is looking down the courtyard A sight so cruel and cold, An act of violence-so senseless, The silence is like a moaning scream, Death takes everything, just like here... With the sun the light is fading... "Did the murder change my world?" Who am I-am or beast? I did it but still lost Did I speak fair words in my decision, Or was it just an awful murder? I`m of royal blood, noble and pure I can`t be the murder once more I want to lead my people with just hand, My disgrace shall be forgotten then I want to ban the devil from my body, to reach the holy blessing now Some days later, the duke is haunting He meets two poachers by surprise "Who has given you the right to hunt? At this old tree you shall find death The words I speakґ, they are the law, Disobediance is paid with death! I`m of royal blood and I will rule, Who disobeys me is to lose! He is to lose everything he owns, For my anger is my world`s rule The words I speak, they are the law, DISOBEDIANCE is paid with death!"
