Who are you? Man condemned to shine a salvation throughout the centuries. Why was the wine of the grail too sour for man to drink? The carpenter carved his anchor on the dying souls of mankind. On the tomb of this unknown soldier lay the tools of the one who for us had died. Tools of the carpenter! The one they lick the same old sick dream of their precious saviour. Kiss them deep and make them weep over promises of eternal peace. The carpenter carved his anchor on the dying souls of mankind. On the tomb of this unknown soldier lay the tools of the one who for us had died. Tools of the carpenter! I hear you through the symphonic voices of nature, the purity I could never doubt. They tell me to lie on the grass and observe my saviour. The one crucified to the chirping of birds. The carpenter carved his anchor on the dying souls of mankind. On the tomb of this unknown soldier lay the tools of the one who for us had died. Tools of the carpenter!

Pulling the last cry, I was alive (alive!) While I'm down in my hatred, weird, right (right!) Your god has set you on fire, in the day you're dark your way When we reached this final dusk Then bring me fire and insanity The jet-black eyes are showing butterflies, They dance in the fire insane, so [Chorus:] Fire: dance with me Fire: come with me Fire: your fire Of the everlasting flame, did burn me; The one we are all off often struggling down, down, down, down And when you hear me forth to the everlast, Hear me used to bear dreams cast in a silent near Fire: you're killing me Fire: a thorn, sweet, so rare We'll praise the Lord to begin it Until the others will fall But, victims are we all We will at last destroy human gods And within us the fire is burning The dream lives forth and we're standing strong to fight And the everlasting fire is burning [Chorus:] Fire: come with me Fire: my god is with me Fire: together (forever)

Distress has found a dwelling place in me Already pale as death but still i bleed For promises have shown their fragility Spare me your affection and pity The world no longer is a joyful dream But a crystal with darksome gleam About to fall Soon to be shattered One shared for every emotion dead I will rather learn to enjoy misery Than partake a life of hypocrisy Here i sit by the slowly dying candlelight So i will drink with the shadows by my side I flew with wings of the dragonfly ; Came down as the rain poured out of the sky And stormwinds howled over the land Snow covered the trees and ice the sand No illusions remain Silence conquers us all Solitude the only reality Only dust moves, set in motion aeons ago When there was still life in this world
