Away

Come with me
into the night's shelter
where ghosts haunt every corner
where the crossroads bear dangerous choices
the light here is different, strange
and far out, like the horizon
And everywhere rotten mad corpses lie
of the ones, who failed finding it
come with me, away...
I find pleasure thinking of being
so far away
that no one remembers that i exist
dreams and visions of being lost
in a place, forgotten
and on no ones map
it's only me, and it has always been
I will never belong to you

Schwarzer Mond

Helpless, restless
Look into the mirror
There's a shadow behind me
Anger, frustration fed by the night
Full moon triggers insanity
Warm is the poison, killing isolation
Suddenly drunk on being fine
Darkness, madness is surrounding me
In the cold absence of light
Sinister panic, growing with the dusk
Slices wounds in your open skin
Run, run further, further away
With darkness always
One step behind
Oh, sweet amnesia, like a loving mother
Gives shelter against the horrors beyond
Learning what it's like when there's no one behind
Playing and fighting with the fire of night
All alone

Surrender

Out of another night in indifference
finally strikes a new perception
like a lightning through the haze
and bitter tears burn my face
There's nothing left to make me raise
i'm all alone and i've failed my way
for all life there is one price to pay
so i can't see a difference anyway
The woods, they whisper
that the world don't give a damn
i see my goals are empty
and all mistakes done again
this life means nothing, just a vapid random dream
and i'm so tired, so very tired
The woods whisper
that the world don't give a damn
my goals are empty, and all mistakes done again
this life means shit, and it all seems to be a dream
and i'm so tired,
so very fucking tired

Sunnun Tag

Schlaflos allein am frühen Morgen
Die Zeit steht still über rasenden Sorgen
Heißt es nicht, das Glück sei hinter'm Berge
Vergessen und alt
50 Stunden, nachts stehen die Sterne
zersplittert und kalt
Dumpf steigt die Sonne, fahl im Nebel
Ungesehen, so wie ich
Grau-blaue Augen, der Tag bricht an
"Viva la vida"

Can i share with you my pain?
Let it be inflicted on others
makes me less alone to know
you too live this bitter nights
So can you share with me your pain?
And we can dwell as one
here, where no one else can find us
bound together through misery
Down here, there is no escape for me
condemned to a conscious dead-end ride
overshadowed by a cold demanding destiny
leaves me freezing under pale moon light
Tears of anger and frustration leaving scars on me
even sleeping is not easy anymore
finding healing only in brutality
against the pressure on the chest- what i'm living for?
Thinking about death, in all it's greatness
even primal fear tries to keep me sane
another paradox attempt just adds more sickness
and eternal solitude is the solution
