The Scythe Ages
So silence the birds, blow out all candles, stop the hourglass, crush no more stones, let all bells chime, for I have a vision: I see a black sun setting slowly on the banks of Lethe, The scythes slay at random: Among the victims I recognize them: my blue Goddess and the reason for my Cashmere delusion. But after I smelled the stench of the shrouds I see how the deceased resurrect, how they are bursting with life, and I realize that it was my own sweet death that I witnessed ... So don´t be afraid, join me and walk with me on the pathways of melancholy, hope, sorrow and despair ... the pathways to the Scythe Ages ...

Slowly opening orchid So cruel in its misfortune The flower, it opens with fatal storms Giving way to endless flames Have you ever seduced a god Consequence: catastrophe Pick a flower, dry it out It will wither in blasphemy Refrain: Will the golden angel fall from grace into what I have known as lovelorn sympathy Locked up in a cage of balanced minds, now I am mesmerized but still you´re ivory Faithful distance is our daily yoke compelling me to act as perfect clown to you Have you realized that I´m your friend, my faith grows on and so does all my agony Ebony gold waves drown me Perfect forms fill my eyes So close, yet so far away Painful, glorious: my life A monument built to adorn A statue forever unable to move Adore the icon as long as it lives But what if I caress the stone Mother, will you forgive All the paralyses Innocence of the blessed One Burning coldness: I love Waiting for the orchid to sing The song which changes our history Wanting to see a wonder arise Stone into flesh, God into you Refrain

At last a night to heal my wounds Like a melody I once dreamed of But still I wake up again Raindrops pulsing in my veins So rude as the sun creeps Into my dream-filled eyes The past filled last night and Dusty becomes our death Refrain: Perhaps you´re right and I´m a dreamer But as John Lennon said I´m surely not the only one Perhaps I lied when I was lost But now one year has passed And I´m addicted to the Cashmere Drug Yesterday I saw your eyes Through the fog For me you walked on marble floors and You have guessed my thoughts I will never forget the initial Love you gave to me When we shared our souls, tell me How could I taste again ? Refrain Refrain ... And in the end they found out that Galilei was a liar !

The tears evaporated so soon When he sold a diamond for a small pearl of glass Oh so poor, the never lonesome king The swan once so proud now crawls through the veil ... As winter turns into autumn ... As they extinct eternal affection ... As the winds catch their breath again ... As the stream of clouds recovers in fear ... As the gods join our game again ... As the seasons shift in ruthless apathy ... As she listens to my serenade ... As the night appears before our eyes So powerless the sun ... Forsaken prodigal son ... (never return) All I believed in is gone ... So powerless the sun ... (chill our flames) Bitter lust, pure tragedy is left of my creed My hunger dies away, resurrection for sure Imaginative wounds by forlorn heresy Whether dusk or dawn, I fail to remember ... Decline of thy honest warmth Irony became so utterly serious In the face of tears thou laugh From thy ashes thou have risen ... Praise So powerless the sun ... Forsaken prodigal son ... (never return) All I believed in is gone ... So powerless the sun ... (chill our flames)

White unfolds the paper slowly before my eyes So light as I hold it in my trembling hands I know I will read your soul and no lies Filled with honesty, faith and thoughts so grand Refrain: Even if I lost my beloved god My Icon will save me forever It helps me, no matter if cold or hot To remind me of you whenever Then I recognize the Red on my White Twinkling crystals imprison my attention Waves are running through me like the waves that can´t hide They speak a clear language no words are to mention Refrain Words of innocense guide my whole day I please my Icon but will I ever meet you All these blue runes they´re fading away To where our hearts have dwelt as cold winds blew Refrain

For a long time I encaged myself in a shell of dreams ... far too long. So I began to participate in life, as the strong of you know it. But I realized that "life" is only a conversation of masks, a conglomeration of emotional coldness, another dream ... but this time a nightmare Now, after all my masks have fallen victim to the Scythe Ages, after silence emerged from the gallows of love, the Master of the Scythe yearns for another sacrifice - the bridges to the Days of Yore ...

For the blink of an eye I have seen eternity For a moment in time there was no society Now I see there is more than one possibility Now I know how to show that there is no symmetry Refrain: Two seconds eternity Two seconds eternity Now I see there will be the final question for me There will be yes or no but I´m sure that I can see There will still be some more, some more possibilities They´re the ones we will choose to find an everlasting ... Peace Refrain (two times)

All alone in this cold Castle, all is mine Darkness, fear, hate and I´m king of black dreams None of this was here in last night´s ecstasy When the Fairy of Blood visited me The masses drowned in this celebration And the ruins beneath my feet changed into Golden floors, "Revel in me Fairy of blood, hold my hand Stop the time, make this night Last forever, bewitch me ..." I closed my lips and an army of scents Distorted my thoughts and my emotions Even now a whiff of Rome, of revery Persists in the wind that blows through the halls Refrain: Still there´s some magic in the air around As I walk through my castle´s dark hallways The walls were jaded, my life complete Marble turns into iron and stone, now that the fairy´s gone ... Do you believe in fairytales? Can you still feel alive in a dream? Can you feel as strong as I do? Then join me in the kingdom of Phantasy! All colour is gone All colour is gone All colour is gone All colour is gone Refrain

Every day without your ruby waves is lost When paradox agony prospers in me Emotia, why have thou left in my hour When even our sun withers away The suicide squad swallows all colour around Streams of emotional lava sear my chest, my soul Let me illuminate a star to guide your way, your dodge As obsolete cages separate us now forevermore ... Forevermore ... Languishing Opalescent Seeping Teardrops Desparately shimmering fading Dreamworlds "... for I have seen faces smeared with tears, and not only in the mirror ... ... But I buried my hope long ago after I had shocked myself and said ... ... ´Goodbye!´ ..." Lead my mind to the land where my emotions can flourish So wonderful that it will forget how to think about time The land where silence and peace are no foreign waste You showed me before, now possess me once again Let us dance away from the place where our hearts may hurt Let me carry your fear on my back until we are out of reach But you still lie without spine, why can´t you get up for me ? But you don´t follow on our quest, so when am I old enough to die ? ... Emotia ... Languishing Opalescent Seeping Teardrops Desparately shimmering fading Dreamworlds "... ´Goodbye!´"
