Elegies in Darkness
Träge, müde schleppst Du Dich Durch karges Land, das Dich zerbricht Vor Dir liegt ein weiter Weg Den Du zu oft gegangen bist Keiner Keiner Keiner verweilt Nun fragst Du Dich Warum für mich? Warum nur ich? Im Schatten lebt Dein wahres Ich Der Zweifel wohnt in Dir Dein Atmen schwach und kalt vom Licht Matt und dünn Dein Blick

In this very moment I embrace all I have Nothing to urge for and nothing to lose I endure the insane, survive every pain Bear every burden and feel no more shame for you Again I walk faster, a goal on my mind My heart is still raging, I shiver like mad I focus again and stare into nowhere Swallow the floods to see nothing is left for me My vice, my skin My flesh, my sin You will be born from the ashes of our souls My time has come Thy will be done You will be born from the ashes of our souls The future lies bare and has nothing to hide We live for the moment, suppress what we feel Hold on to the pain, it proves you’re alive Shattered we seem, let me drown in the end for you

Die Sonne schläft am Horizont Ein schwarzes Tuch liegt über uns Wenn man jetzt an früher denkt Blendet die Erinnerung Denk an. Denk an mich! Denk daran ... Wie Dir die Seuche Leben schenkt Ein Leben lang in Atemnot Zur Ruhe bettet Man(n) in Weiß Alles liegt nun hinter Dir - Das ist mein Schmerz - Der Puls der Zeit schon lange still Lebensgeister sterben aus Die Zeit reißt Narben wieder auf Alte Muster kalt und grau - Das ist mein Schmerz - Die Nacht ertrinkt im Morgenrot

Without protection I've come to watch you sleep I see how you struggle I sense that you're fighting me It touches me deeply To watch you suffer - still To know you so helpless In my old hands I let you sleep I could never hurt you I value the trust in me I'm scared and feel stranded Alone in the tides of life I beg you please Please don't wake up now I beg you please Please don't give up now Don't take the blame for me Let's talk it over Don't bear the shame with me I have a sacrifice to make Call back all my demons You carried the cross for me Let go of my burden I think i can bear the pain Sing with me, stranger Get lost in your darkest dream Your pain is my symphony I dance with your dogs of war

Still I’m fighting I know it’s much too late Your face is like a dream Please don’t wake me up My memories hurt It’s time to let them go I loved them in bloom Help me moving on Thirsty for life Still hungry for more Stay with me Just a little more Too much to bear So much to overcome I feel so small Allow me to give up Without you from now on I will crave for some color In the desert of grey All my beauty left with you Swallow your tears Whisper a good bye My eyes will stay closed It all must go away Talk to me Say it’s just a dream And cry with me To make it go away

Sometimes it feels like I always keep falling Into the void And into the blue I wish i knew why It all stays the same Whatever I do Wherever I go The darkness in me Always will be there The darkness in me Will never let go See me drown in your abyss Watch me wander in the dark A secret lies hidden In my mortal core Never forgotten Companions for life The darkest embrace So fragile the light My burden indeed A blissful delight

In the blink of an eye When you fail to move You face the pain within Adrenaline will push you on Have you seen my face before? Have you dreamt of me? Will you close your cloudy eyes? Tell me now, tell me what you see You betray what you can't defeat My war against the end of time This game is out of reach In many ways you're so much like me Do you feel the clouds Moving into you? Does it make much sense To deny what your eyes can see

Don't say it's getting better The ghost of you - unborn Am I blind enough to see? We're running out of time Don't say it's getting better All those endless days go by A wishful dream comes true We wasted so much time When all is gone I wonder what is left for me When all is gone I wonder what is left of me

Ein letztes Wort Gemalte Stille Ein anderer Ort Ein fremder Wille Mit letzter Kraft Ein letzter Schrei Die Zeit gerinnt Es ist vorbei Ein stummer Gast Erhaben kühl Die alte Last Nur ein Gefühl Tanz, Daemon, komm schrei mit mir Tanz, Daemon, komm tanz mit mir Wie kleidsam Dich Die Trauer ziert Und kunstvoll Antlitz Dir verleiht Wie wundersam Dein Lachen klingt Verkleidet wirkt Die Welt um Dich Tanz, Daemon, komm schweig mit mir

Take a step forward and Take a step backwards and … Tell me, is it you or is it me They’re looking for All these rumors Welcome to my house of odds

How rigid this beauty Enlaced in a glance Of enormous confusion In a spiral we dance We abandon our comfort zone To ride out the storm We avoid the unavoidable Just to accept a new form You stand your ground To become what you are You betray your fear With open arms With your greed in mind Like a miracle You detest what you love In depressing confessions You have found the intrigue You were able to ponder And to convey the received Can you kill the doubts in me? Can you fight for every sensibility Let me go Nein!

Wenn sich alles verdunkelt vor dem leblosen Grau Und Gewalten verenden, weil die Zeit sie erstickt Wenn die Worte verkümmern vor dem traurigen Blick Und kein Lachen erklingt durch die Gassen der Stadt In den Tränen des Himmels Deine Hoffnung ertrinkt Weil die Sehnsucht verblasst und die Kargheit begehrt Wenn das Lichtspiel des Lebens keine Schatten mehr wirft Und kein Auge die Schönheit der Leere verzehrt Dein Wille gebrochen von der endlosen Last Gedanken verstören in der sterbenden Nacht Du sprichst nur ganz leise, ziehst Dich weiter zurück Hast Dich kampflos ergeben, fühlst Dich immer allein Hat Dich niemand verstanden? Du blickst traurig zurück Ganz gebeugt von der Stille wirst Du langsam zerstört Wenn sich Dir dieses Leben nur ganz still offenbart Dann wirst du zerbrechen, weil du dir selbst nicht verzeihst

Your strange mythology of violence An ancient sacrilege to me You breathe the decadence of darkness You find Atlantis in your sleep Your desires are strange to me Take a weapon in your hand One by one Untamed, the beast you have in you A demon's temper wild at rage This random sensitivity of mercy A secret too sacred to be true

Is this the final end? Is this last frontier? Are we the reminder That there was someone here? An empty house is yours to keep An empty house to fall asleep An empty house is yours to keep An empty house to hide the freak Are we some strange remains? Is it the truth I hear? Is this my dream come true? A nightmare that I fear The guilt is deep inside This is the pain we share We stumble day by day Who said that life was fair? The voice inside my head I am unwanted here I need to hold my breath Indeed the facts are clear

When you're still in hope Wasting precious time Life has got a hold on you When you numb yourself Staring in the void Then you've almost lost it all And if you look for me I'll make you pay the price You have a lonely choice to make Will you stand and fall alone? Will you never come back home? Have your friends and enemies united to be one against you? Will you stand your ground? Your eyes refuse to speak And every single second hurts Will it end like this? You lure me to the edge My hands are tied, I stand as one And if you look for me I'll make you pay the price You have a lonely choice to make
