Old Routes – New Waters

Drowning, lost in the dark cold night Where she needed me to stay at her side For the first time I saw my want and will By her dreams I was chosen to fulfill Night by night into sleep he fell Where the need for love gave me my own hell In the deepest gloom of his misery: “Will the light of real love ever shine for me?” I’m the kingdom I’m the crown I keep beholding Whatever is shown My love is (made) forever (For) you and me “May the light of real love always shine for me!” No more I’m lost in the dead of the night We have found each other, a lover, a bride No more lonesome gazing at the moon anymore “In your heart I witnessed what my life is for!” A lover’s promise, the test of time My heart is yours, will yours be mine When the storm rose over thy boat at sea Thou were saving my life, and you cared for me Beneath the sea I drowned in despair Was it wise or not to take me there But no long time passed and the truth did come For each other we’ve shown up as the only one A different kind of morning Light is breaking and dawn over me Embraced by your gentleness and wisdom I turn free from sleep May our hearts beat together Make eternity shine for a second of living A (sweet) moment in time And riding through the ocean I see that there’s nothing to fear For living is like dancing In the heaven of dreams when you’re near May the world fall apart now May the ocean dry We have seen what it is worth living (for) For a moment in time

I remember this moment, years ago there was only you and me I see your face in my dreams, like a star shining all across the sea I remember this moment, years ago there was only you and me When I wake up in sadness, I realize my deep wounds never heal Living only in memories, all is lost, coldness I can feel Sky turned darker and darker, soulless voices whispering her name End came closer and closer, endless sleep was sweeping in her veins She faded away, like a rose on a winterday I remember her last words, please don't cry for me Lost in endless night, take me there, where I see you again Reach out for the light, when will I break my pain? Come and fly with me, all across the raging sea Together we will be, when will I ever be free? One night I was dreaming, seemed to me like reality, so clear A fallen angel inside me, speaks to me, tells me what has done to be There's a fire in my heart, burning bright like the glory of a king For too long I was waiting, now my soul is flowing in the wind She faded away, like a rose on a winterday I remember her last words, please don't cry for me Lost in endless night, take me there, where I see you again Reach out for the light, when will I break my pain? Come and fly with me, all across the raging sea Together we will be, when will I ever be free? [Guitar Solo] I remember this moment, years ago there was only you and me Lost in endless night, take me there, where I see you again Reach out for the light, when will I break my pain? Come and fly with me, all across the raging sea Together we will be, when will I ever be free?

Mournful cries are in my mind In this stormy winternight Paint a shadow on my heart A black cloud rains over me. See, this is me, no pleasure to see Still the dark cloud is surrounding me Scared, to be a different kind of my own And the storm is raging on and on. Cold winternight No way out of the dark No one’s leading me back To the place I belong. Tried to breathe in rays of light I can’t be without my winternight. See, this is me, no pleasure to see Still the dark cloud is surrounding me Scared, to be a different kind of my own And the storm is raging on and on. Cold winternight No way out of the dark No one’s leading me back To the place I belong Uncovered secrets Will never be found No rebirth, no regrets Never be the one to hold. Cold winternight No way out of the dark No one’s leading me back To the place I belong Uncovered secrets Will never be found No rebirth, no regrets Never be the one to hold.

I try to reach you through this fog of ancient fear. And I'll return to you one day again, my dear. I made this journey over seven seas for you. Now I found the place, and now, I've found the truth. This is the last step to my illumination now, So long just waiting, searching, Hoping and finding the way how. On the water in this realm I see your face... A revelation's done, right moment, right place. Once in a lifetime your dream is your destiny's way. And here on the water forever you'll stay. Dark waters now await my branded soul, So much done to reach this deep dark hole. The execution of all gains in my life before, Is now, is then, and will be finally forevermore. No more waiting, searching, hoping, and finding how, As I've been told, I will reach your kingdom now. Once in a lifetime your dream is your destiny's way. And here on the water forever you'll stay. Now I invite you to come to my kingdom with me, No foretelling futures, through the eyes of the world you will see...

Barrier of glass, filled with my tears Empty space, just no one to hear Walk alone, I can’t get clear Of those few seconds. Wilted heart, shattered with pain Spring will never lead me astray No one’s able to fan my flame Condemn myself. If I had just been able to say I’m sorry Don’t go away, live by my side Because without you life is grey And even sun won’t light my day. But now it is too late All those lines are delayed You’ll never cross this street again You’re out of sight. In my dreams I see your face Every moment seems like whole days I can’t clean up my disgrace And those few seconds. If I had just been able, to say turn round Don’t go, please stay, stay with me my dear. If I had just been able to say I’m sorry Don’t go away, live by my side Because without you life is grey And even sun won’t light my day. But now it is too late All those lines are delayed You’ll never cross this street again You’re out of sight I will ever be the one to blame Last shut of your eyes. Ferries guide you Guide you all along Ferries guide you away on silver waves. Crying heaven turns in seas of tears Ferries guide you Guide you out of sight.
