To Travel for Evermore

Here I am, can you feel me breating In the rhythm of the world I’m in Here I am, can you feel me breathing In the rhythm of the world I’m in Reaching out I caress the trees While the sun revolves above me Teh air is so rich I can almost drink it Dance like a fay twixt tree and stream so cold The true philosopher’s stones Never shall turn nothing into gold Now they tell me I must lay me down Once more they’ll lock they door But of leaves of green my pillow is And free I’ll disppear in the thicket The tru philosopher’s stones Never shall turn nothing into gold I’m awoken in the woods I’m searching for the nevershining stones And the man in white say I can’t hear the birds singing I’m awoken in the woods I’m closer to the everlasting truth And the man in white says I can’t hear them The wealth of mine is not like thine of gold shining Tree and leaf my treasures are Living like me, and dying I’m awoken in the woods I’m searching for the nevershining stones And the man in white say I can’t hear the birds singing I’m awoken in the woods I’m closer to the everlasting truth And the man in white says I can’t hear them I’m awoken in the woods I’m searching for the nevershining stones And the man in white, and the man in white I’m awoken in the woods I’m closer to the everlasting truth And the man in white says I can’t hear them Now I’m here behind rubber walls And they tell me my forest never was at all Not in a thousand years Was it the drugs they gave to calm me Or something into my mind through generations fed And it it’s all gone only a collective memory Are we then dead Is this the kingdom of the mad

Black waves like thunderous towers in over me fall Dark pools open to swallow all Greedy claws of decadence grasp at every limb A mirror of marred, grinning faces In the eye of this storm of staring eyes I stand Lightning rips both sky and land Demonic choirs of disharmony Screaming their false lamentation And I know I cannot escape This darkness that’s trying to fill me For even though I close my eyes I see fire, I hear thunder roll I see them carry off the fallen The mirror cracks, the horizon’s falling When from afar a clear voice is calling At the stroke of the harp A road of light opens before me Down a golden stream with flames in her hands With a song she crushes my wanhope And she dances, dances Dancer in the light Won’t you guide me through the darkness Won’t you blind my eyes that I can’t see the edge Dancer in the light Won’t you dance for me At the stroke of the harp A road of light opens before me Down a golden stream with flames in her hands With a song she crushes my wanhope And she dances, dances Dancer in the light Won’t you guide me through the darkness Won’t you blind my eyes that I can’t see the edge Dancer in the light Won’t you dance for me Dancer in the light Won’t you guide me through the darkness Won’t you blind my eyes that I can’t see the edge Dancer in the light Won’t you dance for me Dancer, you’re but a fantasy Temporary existance And I wonder if ever again I can gather my powers to cal you Or only wrap myself in darkness And fly away, fly away Dancer in the light Won’t you guide me through the darkness Won’t you blind my eyes that I can’t see the edge Dancer in the light Won’t you dance for me

Strange how the world shrinks while you grow up Some of it seems so long ago It cannot really have been me at all As future turns to past Premonition turns to reminiscence Reality to mythology Doors open wide Somehow some memories Are growing ever stronger Ever clearer As doors begin to shut Tell me why must my childhood’s oceas turn into lakes Horizons move ever nearer The myth is easier to comprehend As doors are being locked Sweet was the sun – the sun that now is burning me Clear was the rain – through which no longer I can see And we did laugh – the conquerors, the chosen Yet we could cry – now all my dreams are frozen Who am I now – I want to take another step What will I be – but my feet are heavy Can I go on – I know time heals Can I let go – yet I’m praying for the gods to turn is back Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates of the lost realms Is it only my mind that has painted this pictures Of a rose with no thorns As I fly on the wings of the cosmic eagle The knowledge of the naive If I could but learn to live in peace with my past Not seeking to turn back time But I know I would stand all the pain Just to feel the pleasure again Yes I know I would stand all the pain Just to feel the pleasure again Sweet was the sun – the sun that now is burning me Clear was the rain – through which no longer see I can And we did laugh – the conquerors, the chosen Yet we could cry – now all my dreams are frozen Who am I now – I want to take another step What will I be – but my feet are heavy Can I go on – I know time heals Can I let go – yet I’m praying for the gods to turn is back Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms And I don’t know who the old man is Who sits there alone with his dreams But I hope I’ll never meet his eyes I hope that he’ll never tell me his name And I don’t know who the old man is Who sits there alone with his dreams But I hope I’ll never meet his eyes I hope that he’ll never tell me his name Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms

DAWN: I was born in a time when the world was still free I know not really when, where or why Born a king child, but on the same day It is told you could hear the land cry Blood boiling like the core of this world With which I was one Before I turned into ice And my back to the sun Yes before I turned my back to the sun THE CHILD IN THE SUN: Growing up I lived and learned With wings like the bird I flew Crownprince of paradise Soon to claim the throne Then at last as a grown man I stood So fiercely proud, an electrified semi-god Ready to reign, greedy to gain THE MAN IN THE MOON: Staring at the moon I felt a shiver No longer just a beast But the man in the moon came down too soon Chaos from the West to the East Although knowing I was not prepared I never questioned the use of my lore Leaving behind the days of yore Forever wanting more I defy my gods – I don’t need them Holy science – take me to heaven (and hell) With sacred right I shall conquer and rule Slay the heathen questioning fools Be thou foreign or kin thou shalt never be safe Nothing shall stand in my concrete way Upon myself I bestow the crown, I am the master DUSK: Decadence, decline, degeneracy Broken and aged I now stand Awaiting the revenge of the land Looking at paradise destroyed On my way into the void Crying out to the gods As my heart and pride breaks Would take a thousand Floods To wash off my mistakes Turn back the clock that never runs late Grant me thy knowledge My free will has failed Thief! Murderer! Rapist! Blasphemer! Not so fiercely proud Not so fiercely proud Can I hope for forgiveness Do you recall your darkest son My name is Mankind

In my dream… ‘Twas a cold morning when I saw the first of them Tiny spots on the horizon Their wings blackening out the sun Exodus had begun Messengers of damnation And the people cried: “the birds are leaving” Great was the mourning when they were gone In a bloodred sunset eternal Through when they were here we never did hear them sing Now the silence seemed so infernal and I cried: Throw a rope to a drowning man Collect my bones from this dying land And we’ll laugh in the face of horror Oh, take me higher, away from here Show me the horizons of my mind Take my hand and I’ll fly with you Together we will see tomorrow shine Oh, take me higher, away from here Show me the horizons of my mind Take my hand and I’ll fly with you Together we will see tomorrow shine Together we will see tomorrow shine “Gwaihir! Gwaihir! Hear me calling!” Lord of the sky, take me high Sins are but sins But don’t make the birds leave The land, the sky, the mountains will cry When they leave, oh, take me with you The sea, the hills, the forests will sigh When they abandon ship and fly away I’ll say: Throw a rope to a drowning man Collect my bones from this dying land And we’ll laugh in the face of horror Oh, take me higher, away from here Show me the horizons of my mind Take my hand and I’ll fly with you Together we will see tomorrow shine Oh, take me higher, away from here Show me the horizons of my mind Take my hand and I’ll fly with you Together we will see tomorrow shine Together we will see tomorrow shine

There are strange signs in the air tonight The walls creep close Surrounded by liquid shapes and shadows The minstrel is convincing tonight To me and to the forms that fly Invisible below the ceiling Covered in layer upon layer of memories I know I can’t silence the screaming But not even that can trouble me right now I feel a sudden warmth, I’m outside time and tears A strange place where I can laugh at my fears Knowing that the spirits are Just outside the field of my view Protecting me Showing me a world that is not yet totally desolate There is more to my soul than to my eyes I am strong, like the eagle I’ll rise I will seek high and low, quest for quest’s sake I will shape my own path to travel for evermore Through within to beyond I feel a sudden warmth, I’m outside time and tears A strange place where I can laugh at my fears And if right now I would lay my life In a brother’s hand Then perchance one day I could lay it in the hand of she Who dances on the hill Tomorrow may still come I will reach for the hot core that I’ve felt still living There is more on the inside Maybe even a little to share And maybe even for the Wanderer there’ll be A homely fireside before the world is bare There is more to my soul than to my eyes I am strong, like the eagle I’ll rise I will seek high and low, quest for quest’s sake I will shape my own path to travel for evermore ...To my soul than to my eyes I am strong, like the eagle I’ll rise I will seek high and low, quest for quest’s sake I will shape my own path to travel To trave.... to travel for evermore Through within to beyond

Light flickers like burning birds On the dark, silky surface The willows are leaning over the edge To catch a glimpse of her beauty Such a relief To sink into her shadows Deep as the grief Left on the bank The passage to the other side The light sat the end So longed for And feared How magic the moment of revealing How wondrous the waters of healing Sweet river dark River Oblivion
