A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom. Child of dew-spangled cobweb, mother to the moon. Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant, theater for the play of life. Tragedienne of Heavens watching the eyes of the night. Sailing the virgin oceans, a planetride for the mother and child. Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes. In this ambrosial merry-go-round they will gaze. Ephemereal life touched by a billion-year show, separating the poet from the woe. Tragedienne of Heavens watching the eyes of the night. Sailing the virgin oceans, a planetride for the mother and child. Oracle of the Delphian Domine, witness of Adam's frailty. Seer of the master prophecy, the stellar world her betrothed. Wanderers in cosmic caravan, universal bond, the Starborn. A son in the search for the truth, following the pages of Almagest. Discovering the origin of dreams, stargazers ride through the ancient realms. Tragedienne of Heavens watching the eyes of the night. Sailing the virgin oceans, a planetride for the mother and child.

Toll no bell for me, father, but let this cup of suffering pass from me. Send me no shepherd to heal my world but the angel, the dream foretold. Prayed more than thrice for you to see the wolf of loneliness in me, not my own will but yours be done. You wake up, where's the tomb, will easter come enter my room? The Lord weeps with me but my tears fall for you. The Lord weeps with me but my tears fall for you. Another beauty loved by a beast, another tale of infinite dreams. Your eyes they were my paradise, your smile made my sun rise. Forgive me for I don't know what I gain alone in this garden of pain. Enchantment has but one truth, I weep to have what I fear to lose! You wake up, where's the tomb, will easter come enter my room? The Lord weeps with me but my tears fall for you. The Lord weeps with me but my tears fall for you. I knew you never before, I see you never more but the love, the pain, the hope, O' beautiful one. Have made you mine until all my years are gone. Without you the poetry within me is dead.

A snowy owl above the haunted waters, poet of ancient Gods! Cries to tell the neverending story, prophecy of becoming floods! An aura of mystery surrounds her, the lady in brightest white. Soon the incarnate shall be born, the creator of the night. Deep dark is His Majesty's Kingdom, a portent of tomorrow's world. There shall the liquid give Him power, the red-eyed unborn Lord. Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters, the cradle of infinite gloom. The spell to master this earth, carven on an infant's tomb. "I will die for the love of the mermaid, her seduction beauty and scorn. Welcome to the end of your life, hail the Oceanborn!" "Disgraced is my virginity, Death has woven my wedding dress. Oh Great Blue, breathe the morning dew, for you are the cradle of the image of God!" "Brave now, long rest is sweet with me here in the deep!" "I prayed for pleasure, wished for love. Prayed for your..." "Never pray for me!" "Who the Hell are you for me, but a mortal dream to see?" "This apathetic life must drown, forever, just for me!" "Leave me be..." "From cradle to coffin shall my wickedness be your passion!" We shall come to set the dolphins free, we shall wash the darkened bloodred sea. Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas, the eternity will begin once again in peace.

Princess of lust, dignity put to dust. A virginal sight, their apple to bite. Drink from my thighs the rain of lies. A sight so cursed, breasts which never nursed. An Aphrodite for mortal souls, playing hide and seek in lecherous roles. Their erotic hour my tearless weep, their satisfaction my infinite sleep. Naked limbs reflecting from the moon, I'll be there for you soon. First wish for this night: Let me be your delight! Body of a virgin sold to the Devil's kin. Your God is me, in all that you see. An Aphrodite for mortal souls, playing hide and seek in lecherous roles. Their erotic hour my tearless weep, their satisfaction my infinite sleep.

This track is instrumental.
Riddler, Riddler ask me why the birds fly free on a mackerel sky. Ask me whither goes the winds whence the endless tick-tick stream begins. Make me guess if the earth is flat or round, set a guessing if fantasies are unbound. If tales aren't just for children to see, that it's peace if sleep walks with me. As you wish for kingdom come, the one to know all the answers. You think you dwell in wisdoms sea, still sweet ignorance is the key to a poet's paradise. Challenge the Riddler and you will see. Riddler, Riddler ask me why all mothers beneath the earth and sky, hold their children's hands for a while, their hearts forever, yours and mine. Make me wonder what's the meaning of life, what's the use to be born and then die. Make me guess who's the one behind the mask of father and son. As you wish for kingdom come, the one to know all the answers. You think you dwell in wisdoms sea, still sweet ignorance is the key to a poet's paradise. Challenge the Riddler and you will see. For nature hates virginity, I wish to be touched. Not by the hands of where's and why's, but by the Oceans' minds. As you wish for kingdom come, the one to know all the answers. You think you dwell in wisdoms sea, still sweet ignorance is the key to a poet's paradise. As you wish for kingdom come, the one to know all the answers. You think you dwell in wisdoms sea, still sweet ignorance is the key to a poet's paradise. Challenge the Riddler and you will see.

"Get away from me! Take heed to thyself and see my face no more! For in the day Thou see my face thou shalt die!" - Exodus 10:28 A constellation of divine architecture built on earth. A holy harbour, Orion, nautical ascension to the firmament. Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land. Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman. The unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream my funeral. "Thou art born for Horus dwells in thee." Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb. "Thou art born for Seteh dwells in thee." Reveal your face to me and guide me through the Stygian fields. Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve your will. Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance. Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance. Ruling with the scythe of death, you tear our philosophies apart. An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars! "Open thy veins for my venom, kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue. So shalt thou join the empyrean circus, where beggars mourn and seraphs dance. In this twilight cathedral shall I wed thee, O' Bride of the Netherworld!" Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance. Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance. Ruling with the scythe of death, you tear our philosophies apart. An ancient starwalk, join my soul the Hunter in the sky!
