Först Havet, Sedan Intet

From the lower grey cliff I see it all
The torrents, the winds - a world to fall
O this wild sea reflecting me
A hollow phantom wandering aimlessly
Four walls of water, a room to hide
From the Arcadia for me denied
To turn the back to space and time
awaiting the sound of the white bells to chime
Enraged nature, rain down on me
the centre of a chaos raging violently
Scattered pieces of a misplaced mortal
In a gale accelerating ferociously
Those wild surroundings, whispering seductive calls
Words that beckon an endless fall
The wound that never heals will be the portal...
A will to end this undivine comedy
An outstretched hand – a deliverance to seize?
Guide me to that corner where minds find peace
A sanctuary where the lights of reason glow?
Where the murmurs of wastelands forever cease?
There are no answers blowing in the wind
The hour hand has made another turn
Enveloped in the waves, almost skinned
Drowning at the outside, inside I still burn...

Autumn Gale

The werewolves conquered the storm
Stakes flew through the impaler's heart
Standing in the centre of mayhem
Watching known worlds fall apart
Skies tell of revelations
Remnants of yesterday beneath my feet
My view might be distorted
Visions of a future hereafter complete
Defeats from the past
Burning on the pyre of history
The fire ignited
by the will to ponder the mystery
Stars show the way
Illuminate this nocturnal haze
The moment to long for...
this triumphant blaze!
The gateway was found
After all those wasted years
Entering the land of treasures
Reversing the hours of anger and tears
Rigid rules we escape
To leave this dying environment
To realize the change of shape
Becoming the source of devilment!
Defeats from the past
Burning on the pyre of history
The fire ignited
by the will to ponder the mystery
Stars show the way
Illuminate this nocturnal haze
The moment to long for...
this Autumn Gale..

Meet Us At The Crossroad
03:56
|

|
An evening at the crossroad
The restless souls abode
Darkness sprawls
The curtain falls
to the sound of a dismal ode
Encircled by faltering shadows
Approaching from hazy meadows
Dark silhouettes
Moving like marionettes
Like echoes of fatal throes
(and the procession stops)
(and the voices chants)
”O Famine, who dug our graves,
No more should we be slaves,
but the rest was a fraud
even in death we´re outlawed -
hatred, degradation remains..”
”Join our wandering eternal
The spirit of a journey sempiternal
Our bodies all scarred
Our remains so charred
Still we walk this path infernal"

So begins another chapter
Knowing these pages might be the last
The ink dries quickly, the writing fades
Fair enough, words make no sense
Try to count all attempts in vain
(yes, some are harder to forget)
Searching reasons to endure the pain
(too numb, too late to regret)
All shelters are torn down
Left on this irreversable ride
Lights in the rearview mirror
Exposing moments forever lost
Standing as good as naked
Among the spectres of a legacy
The heritage in the open
For the nameless judges to see...
Those were the days of joy and victory
Those were the days of a life sincere
Those were the days of wine and laughter
Those were the days that never appeared
There will be a shadow
A silhouette in the sunset
Who enforces the question
to behold or to be viewed
How I wish I got the answers
I owe you all (but mostly myself)
Excluded from the ending chapter
Empty pages on a dusty shelf
A place reserved for the unfortunate
To enter this abandoned glade
Twigs may tear up my ravaged face
But when I get there I will forever stay..

Lived Once, Buried Twice
02:45
|
|||
|
The sound of the shovel
Echoes through these wooden walls
Raining soil, a violent awakening
to a life outside the box
Enveloped in darkness
The barriers are getting closer
The gift of life suddenly renewed
while lowering beneath the ground
Lived once, buried twice
Close to the bereaved
Closer to lunacy
They saw the dead rise from the earth
After all, it´s a funeral party...
Death recapitulated
But for now, I live buried
This loathsome carnal prison
Another step closer to the cemetar

This Charming Deceiver
05:38
|
|||
|
Dear betrayer – your ”grandeur” shall not last forever
Charades and masquerades have come to an end
Alone with your imagined heroic deeds
the veil has been lifted, and then... we all leave...
Maker of great promises, now you must stand by your word
Wasted time do not heal our bleeding wounds
The mirrors' reflection, sighs of indulgence
for a one man theatre of the absurd
A redundant epitaph
the demise of reliance
The torn apart pictures
ending the alliance
The castle in the air, now yours to own
The hollowness and delusions to all of us known
Behold the king of unintended solitude
The King that reaped the seeds of deception he had sown
LET THE WIND CARRY THE ASHES..

Month Of The Crow
05:28
|
|||
|
Flickering feathers, all black or grey
Violently whipping the lightless heavens
Fierce raging waves torment the sea
The wilderness conspire to lead me astray
Relentless gale, howls through the woods
leaves scars in an unaware wasteland
Once again I behold that chaos known for
igniting the flame consuming my sanity
Awaiting that horrific hour of penalty
Proclaimed by this hollow entity
Stormwinds spread the toungeless curse
Condemning tranquility, writing the ending verse
An awakening in the shadows of thousand wings
My eyes seem to be strangers here?
Always forsaking the words the voice of reason sings
Turning blazing reveries to memories
Adoring the hallucinations mother nature brings
Embraced by these surreal visions
Minutes, hours, days and decades come and go
But at least once a year I can behold the month of the crow

Carrier Of Sunken Dreams

Carrier Of Sunken Dreams
The sempiternal sleep I entered
Somewhere between illusion and endurance
Stumbling through the nameless flesh
These cryptic masses of ignorance
We hand out the blindfolds to all our friends in need
To live a life petrified and paralyzed
Lost in this obscure indifferent trance
From yesterdays' joy and sorrow freed
Cold skin, a body inanimate
Carrier of sunken dreams
These weighted shoulders long for (a) sanctuary
To release the years of silenced screams
My eyes have seen it all, my ears are torn apart
Limbs will not obey me, noone left to betray me
Modern wilderness, crowded solitude
I ask myself: when will it end?
Time and will expire
Another futile attempt to escape
Searching for the exit sign
Unknown hands pulling back the black drape
Pages unread, songs unheard
worlds unexplored, feelings unnamed
The light of the obscure reaching my soul
Evoking the revelations concealed
Treasures uncovered, jewels disclosed
A bottomless well, on me bestowed
The source of unknown wisdom, hidden inside
Living in the corners of a resigned mind
There will be a new dawn
When I rise from this bed of clay
No ashes or dust to cloud me
Neither nails nor rope to tie me
Seizing the moment with strong hands
Conquering foreign spiritual lands
Stretching out in glorious laughter
To welcome the Utopia long sought after
