The sky ranges the past Enclosed in ancient walls Captured in memories A kingdom to survive Immortal silence gathers illusions inside I see the desert sand Whirled up by the feet of war A mournful eye in isolation Blinded by a silent spell Slaved to my debility My future in those hands That I can't move Like a victim On his knees The guidance still mine? I take the blame To find salvation And I await The worst to come The guidance still mine? Tomorrow seems remote - so distant My expectations evapurate Leaving nothing to breathe Another day to survive in silence

To the sound of your laughter To the sound of your cries Decays within silence In the depth of your eyes Numb expectations in my shattering voice Face to face with existence Ashes of hope in my shivering hands Melting illusions like a bridge to my dreams As I fall Into the depth of your eyes As I fall Into your shattered disguise Silhouettes slowly fading As darkness dissolves I detest what I sense With my untouchable eyes

Ancient sights to slave his longings Lost and captive between two worlds Have you seen this place before? Have you seen my fields of joy? But within his eyes the beauty fading Sacrificed my life of lies Torn apart to fade in cries Hiding in the conflict of confusion To quiver gently, torn apart inside But facing sights that my lies can't hide Defaced by war to ruin my shelter But still my memories cannot dissolve But still I'm drowning deep inside And all my hoping seems in vain Have you seen this place before? Have you seen my fields of joy? Have you seen me sink into despair?

Have you felt the forgiveness He has spread across the land? Have you felt the dignity In each of the people's heads? But have you also seen the pain Or did he give you eyes in vain? Diseases, wars and shattered pride And a nation dressed in black I shiver as I read your words They're all depraved as I can see Though you've got more children or better Servants than you can use You keep us blind, you keep us weak You don't allow to introspect I say: You're more depraved than thou appear You're more depraved than thou appear Holier than thou approach? Holier than thou approach? I shiver as I read your words You don't allow to introspect Was it you to spread the blood That once has flown in Garden Eden? Though your servants still believe the words That you're supposed to have said I say: You're more depraved than thou appear You're depraved than thou appear Holier than thou approach? Holier than thou approach?

Vicious words and false belief Chains around my wrists A sad sensation The craving for life is gone Intoxicate me in the draught of life A yelling laugh decays my dream A laugh to fear my deed A false affection, a false creation Suspicious eyes enslaved within Imprisoned - shame and guilt But still a child Confessing all my sins Elaborated, but still out of reach My hands still shiver My eyes don't move A deed you can't neglect A false affection, a false creation

Eyes in silence Eyes in the dark A life in patience To survive and surrender Whatever I feel Whatever I see is just A sign of hope A reflection of my memories Words covered with dust In a book to my left An urge to read No permission Helpless eyes Voices fading I regret I regret I tilt my head I close my eyes Voice - louder Temptation rising I shiver I'm a stranger in my own skin I'll survive But for how long? And silence still remains Whatever my belief and identity will offer I can never purify my thoughts And still I linger in temptation Still not daring to reach out The book My dreams Written out in words that I can't read My fingers write What my mind is not capable to think of And silence still remains I'm a stranger in my own skin But I'll survive My fingers write What my mind is not capable to think of But I'll survive But for how long...?

And I meander in mortal lanes of festering But still my childish instincts bloom Screaming out my soul to the rhythm of the pendulum Droplets of despair - apparition distorted My lifeless pulse still rushing on Pumping to the pendulum Time's elapsing while I'm waiting Waiting in anticipation And I still try to hold on To what is fading from my eyes My lifeless pulse still rushing on Pumping to the pendulum

To conquer the angel's laugh An urge implied A captious offer in your hands My hymne of praise denied Disguising, fading scarlet of your belief Drowning gently in commands It's your defeat Mephisto, my fallen angel Corrupted patience in your eyes Your urge to rise denied Your justice shivering in faded trust Mankind like puppets in your hands It's our defeat Mephisto, o Mephisto Our shattered pride inhaled by you Rejecting innocence Betrayed by your own kind - a selfish deed I'm calling you to conquer me Rescue me To conquer the angel's laugh Inside my head An urge to feel temptation rise A deed of pure illusions To feel just silence move And I'll regret...

I began to sleep I wake up to see But my dreams had vanished And with my shivering hand Even the last page turned Another book covered by dust Faded in lost time and forgotten life
