Totentanz

Like a forgotten paradise As if refused by father time My land can be found Under a clouded grey sky Walking the eternal landscapes As painted by our Flemish masters I hear the music Created centuries ago I listen to the northwind Losing myself in childlike dreams Watch the eternal rivers flow, they flow Maybe they understand My already lost quest For no one can travel Travel back in time For no one can travel Travel back in time Like a forgotten paradise A dream of perfect bliss Dust of centuries Yet I can touch the cities Build by my forefathers Yet I see the banners Of long forgotten pride And watch the eternal rivers flow Like a forgotten paradise As if refused by father time My land can be found Under a clouded grey sky Walking the eternal landscapes As painted by our masters I hear the music Created centuries ago I want to see a bright blue sky Or feel the rain of our darkest clouds Want to smell flowers now long withered Witness the people now long buried Wish to dwell in places forever lost Castles buried by time time and dust Hold a bride so pale and pure Hear the stories of friends I never knew Lost in time Lost in time Yet I can touch the cities Build by my forefathers Yet I see the banners Of long forgotten pride Walking the eternal Landscapes As painted by our masters I hear the music Created centuries ago Lost in time

Death in midsummer There is true beauty in all that dies Nothing lasts forever...I know Dreams, hopes, life itself Slipping through my fingers Slipping through my fingers Like a sand on beaches I used to know So many people came and went As years go by Their faces fade like a song In vain I try to hold on To the humble knowledge I gathered Death in midsummer Death in Midsummer So much still to learn To discover, to feel Yet I sense My earthly and only existence Fade away No light at the end of the tunnel No God to save one's soul The atheist's curse The atheist curse Life never seemed precious to me But now... It is so cruel to die In the middle of summer In the middle of summer

Where faith has failed Men's mind has travelled Throughout of space His wings might fly No borders for human's restless desires Since science killed faith God even may die Our dying pride kneeling In front of the unknown Where faith has failed Gott Ist Tot Where science prevailed Gott Ist Tot In front of the immensity And grace of a universe With well hidden secrets That no one has known With secrets protecting a cosmic curse When truth seems a lie And reality a vision Where faith has failed Gott Ist Tot Where science prevailed Gott Ist Tot Where faith has failed Gott Ist Tot The lights and the colours of planets and stars Cannot be revealed with simple human's mind We might step foot on the ground of Mars But order in chaos we never provide We might step foot on the ground of Mars But order in chaos we never provide Where faith has failed Gott Ist Tot Where science prevailed Gott Ist Tot Where faith has failed Gott Ist Tot Where science prevailed Gott Ist Tot - God is dead Where faith has failed Gott Ist Tot - God is dood Where science prevailed Gott Ist Tot - God is dead Gott Ist Tot!

All who still remain Are leaving their shelter One by one The King leads his court The sun seeks it's own reflection On their clothes that shine like Gold I speak the language of the colourless present My words do not reach their ears anymore A quest in vain Trying to hold on to my youth But still I remember those princes and wenches He tries to tell me reality took over my soul The walls behind which I wish to dream Are coming down Those princes and wenches Visiting the castle Represented my infant years They flee into eternal woods Only the jester turns around One last time Now I recognise my sad companion Who kept me company Countless times The Jester kept me company countless times In hours that seemed darker than these He tries to tell me reality took over my soul The walls behind which I wish to dream Are coming down He tries to tell me reality took over my soul The walls behind which I wish to dream Are coming down down down!

Decline of Romantiticism Where will be the border? And who will draw your line? In your life there is no order You just lost track of time This is your direction You will never have satisfaction Intentions, although they were noble Dreams however, could not be shared The only choice left Is to turn away... Will you ever have enough? How to explain It is purity I seek? In a life with no emotion? But one has to realise I need to hang on to a dream With no emotion Is this your direction? You will never have satisfaction Will you never ever have enough In a life With no emotion - So much for this love With no emotion - So much for this love How will you get further? For you there is no way, Is this the way You want to die tonight? Our feelings and words Never meant the same Where will be your border? And who will draw your line? In your life there is no order You just lost track of time Time, never was on my side How to explain It is purity I seek? Is this the way you want to die?

Blood red skies like a messenger of doom Skeletons on parade in villages on fire Divine maidens suffering from the plague Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust Dust on coffin lits Tales never told Citizens living in cages of glass Writing poetry in the fields of bretagne But hear the cries of a distant battle Cardinals in decay and Gods who failed everywhere Nero's fiddle distuned, Rome into flames With wings wide spread I wish to fly Like an eagle embracing the sky Dying during a final flight Oh deliver me from life Plundering savages drunk with bloodlust Knights in armour now long vanished Jesters holding the crown Noblesse fading away Noblesses fading Blood red skies like a messenger of doom Skeletons on parade in villages on fire Divine maidens suffering from the plague Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust Dust on coffin lits Tales never told Citizens living in cages of glass Writing poetry in the fields of Bretagne But hear the cries of a distant battle Cardinals in decay Gods who failed everywhere Gods who failed... TRISTESSE!

It is so amusing To see you clap your hands To some else's tune So pleasant to hear you speak Words created by others Quite easy to follow Another person's steps Convenient to walk a path Secured by others Ever thought about finding your own? What about integrity? Where did you hide your soul? What about finding your own? Individuality? Where did you hide your soul? Your eyes are red Your voice is rough But is it your song You are chanting? Speaking way too loud Slogans I have heard before Tapping your foot To someone else's tune? Where did you hide your soul?

As we march through the cities of conquered lands A feeling of power Takes over our minds When we see the enemies' fate Upon our hands So difficult to keep control Rage and insanity Fill our hearts Are we but animals? Years of warfare Exterminated ideals All that is left Are animal instincts Control Control, we must control! Control Control, we must control! Control Control, we must control! Control Control, we must control! Rage and insanity Fill our hearts We feel like animals We march! We march! We march! Megalomania We are God!

Take this kiss upon the brow! And in parting from you now. ...A Dream within a dream! Thus much let me above You are not wrong, who deem. I stand amid the roar, Of a surf-tormented shore. ...That my days have been a dream... And I hold within my hand, Grains of certain golden sand. Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day How few! Yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep. In a vision or in none Is it therefore the less gone? While I weep, while I weep! O Satan! Can I not grasp? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream Is all that we see or seem
