Second sight
06:33
|
|

My sight now is gone
It turned black
The stone so blue came
And it gave me one back
Some call it a gift
Of the second sight
I feel like I’m cursed
With this second sight
The visions, so clear
In my head
The day I became a Seer
That, I’d like to forget! fast
The future, for no-one, never to see
I question myself “is it worth to believe?”
My heart is still aching, of pain and relief
Now that they know I can never be free!!
Dreaming of life as it treated me well
I feel like I’m cursed, cursed with this gift
Able to see the misfortune of men
But death just awaits me if I told of them
Fighting inside my head as I try
To decide who to tell or not tell at all
My sight now is gone
It turned black
The stone so blue came
And it gave me one back
Some call it a gift
Of the second sight
I feel like I’m cursed
With this second sight
The visions are clear
In my head
The day I became a Seer
That, I’d like to forget! fast
And now I’m waiting to be freed
Of all dilemma’s, as they breed
I know I never will be
The constant knowing burns my mind
Ablazing
To abnegate me as I try
Serving people who then want me
Persecuted and then to die
And now I’m waiting to be freed
Of all dilemma’s, as they breed
I know I never will be
The constant knowing burns my mind
The visions, so clear
In my head
The day I became a Seer
That, I’d like to forget!

Take a look around
I see it every day
People running and screaming
To have it their own way
It’s time to stop this maddness
Take one step back
Life is just a preparation
Of death to come
Just take one step back
And open your eyes
To see what really is going on
Don’t make you lose yourself in this world
Try to see the importance
of the unseen
Take a look around
I see it every day
People running and screaming
To have it their own way
It’s time to stop this maddness
Take one step back
Life is just a preparation
Of death to come
Status, money and cars won’t do you
Any good as you might
Learn at the end of this trip
Don’t waiste your energy on resolving
The things that really
Don’t matter at all
Away
We’re drifting
From our means to
Be alive
We are
Loosing sight of
The big picture
Who we are
I cannot
Understand why
You don’t see it
As I do
Realize this game you’re playing
Can’t be played but once
Realize this life you’re living
Is your only chance

Entwined forever
03:06
|
|

I tried to wake up
And open my eyes
Get out of this dream
But no matter what I
Tried to do it did not
Alter my state of mind
My Anima Divina
Just fell apart
Not able to return to
Myself, oh god!
Free to travel beyond
Known barriers
All kinds of colors pass by
As I drift out to the unknown
This astral travel seems to
Have no end
Seeing things not ever
Been seen by a man
New dimensions
Crossing lines
This sense of freedom
Realy frees my state of mind
Not able to take control
Laughter, hard, ckoking air
Drifting further inside
Finally light at the end
Closed my eyes as I fell
Deep down into the white
I will never let go
One day I will return
Make my soul once complete
‘Till that day I remain
No dimensions, no time
Wait, again to entwine
This astral travel seems to
Have no end
Seeing things not ever
Been seen by a man
New dimensions
Crossing lines
Without loss of time
This sense of freedom
Realy frees my state of mind

Shade of the rowan tree

As he sat there in the shade
He felt that nothing more could harm him
The branches like a mother’s arm did
Protect him from this pain
Now creating his own private world and
Sinking deep away
A smile then appearing on him
Thinking, he was save.
Then he felt this sudden breeze, which
Pulled him back into his cruel reality
Heart stopped, he couldn’t breathe
Eyes staring, nothing there
Running, just as fast as he could
Go, not looking back
Wind crying, screaming out his name
Attacking all again
The shade of the Rowan tree was his way back
The branches of the old and sacred did protect
Only door that made him live again
The shade of the Rowan tree was his way back
The branches of the old and sacred did protect
Only door that made him live again
Looking back onto the trail
Seeing this was not a dream, experience
Silent screams
His tower of hope collapsed
Knowing this is the only way
He wants to be
Part of this world
Never go back
Just play this game again
He realizes this is the last
Train that can bring him back
But then his urge to stay right here
Conquers fear, he closes his eyes
As he sat there in the shade
He felt that nothing more could harm him
The branches like a mother’s arm did
Protect him from this pain
Now creating his own private world and
Sinking deep away
A smile then appearing on him
Thinking, he was save.
The shade of the Rowan tree was his way back
The branches of the old and sacred did protect
Only door that made him live again

...And remember nothing

As we sit by this fire
And remeness good old times
I cannot stop laughing
at Oisin and his rhymes
We were feared by those who crossed our path
Wwhhooaaawwhhh, felt like gods, brought death and devoured their lives
Unprepaired and slaughtered in ways beyond … disbelief!!
Didn’t care, just one goal to achieve, just survive!!
As we sit by this fire
And remeness good old times
I cannot stop thinking
Of the men we left behind
We were buried in the earth
Up to our waiste, with just with a shield
Chased by men we then all feared
Just faught for what we were wurth
The Twelve Books of Poetry
A way of life, became to me
We were anxious to become
A servent of The High King’s Throne
As we sit by this fire
And remeness good old times
I cannot stop feeling
All the pain I have inside
Oh yes, I’m trying to believe
That there’s a better way to be
Without the slaughtering of men
Without the grief of what we ever lost
But everything, it seems so right
To ride with comrades and to fight
Past years have brought so much for me
Both victory and misery
There’s not a single night I sleep
Without awakening from my dreams
Trying to ensure myself
And fall back into reality
No more memories I have
Of life as I knew it once before
Not shedding blood nor waisting men
No memories, no more
I can’t wake up
From this dream, so it seems to me
I want to awake
And leave this terror all behind of me
All numb and blind
Barely able to retrieve myself
Not even now
I can’t remember when I ever did
As we sit by this fire
And remeness good old times
I cannot stop thinking
Of the men we left behind

Visions, dreams of drifting, soulless
In a dimension, without the loss of time
Just one step, and I’ll be ready
To find out what I’m looking for
I’ve fear
Of what’s
Behind
Immortal, obsessed with nature’s anger
To overcome it, the goal of my intent
Nothing can stop me from achieving
There’s no way back now, this is the end
I’ve fear
Of what’s
Behind
The door
Fear takes over faith
Now it’s too late!
Unknown, my destination
Twisted imagination
Fear takes over faith
Now it’s too late!
Unknown, my destination
Twisted imagination
Looking, just to see reflections
Of a scared man, not sure of what to do
Just one way of ending my redemptions
Just one step, and I’ll see if it’s the truth.
Shaking, hesitate to go now
Not knowing what’s on the other side
Taking one last deep breath
Close my eyes, prepare to glide
The portal to this new dimension
Is right before me, just one big step away
To go through it means leaving right behind me
The confident world as I have known
I’ve fear
Of what’s
Behind
Not knowing what I might encounter
On my way through, but I will take that chance
Believing that making this decision will
Complete the quest for my true self
I’ve fear
Of what’s
Behind
The door
Fear takes over faith

Twist of fate
05:32

|

World of misery
Chaos all around
Men killing men
No solutions can be found
Bound to become
an unliveable place
No flora, fauna, nature
or even our own human race
This tendencee I think
can’t possibly be stopped
One way or another
this world is left to rot
The only safe place
on this planet to be
with harmony and peace
is beneath the level of sea
All kinds of fish, peacefully swimming by
Not in a way abusing nature’s gift
No religion’s going to devide them into groups
No hatred exists over colour of their skin
Just one way
for mankind
to survive
hell to be
hell
And now my mind is set
I am going under
or else I’m going insane
Constructing for over ten years
and now my plan’s realized
A new world under the sea
no hatred, just peace, harmony
Instead of watching, doing nothing
let this world decay
I will twist the fate………
Follow me
to the new
paradise
Follow me
All kinds of fish, peacefully swimming by
Not in a way abusing nature’s gift
No religion’s going to devide them into groups
No hatred exists over colour of their skin
My last security meisure
are 12 atomic bombs
to stop them from destroying
my re-creation of paradise

Midsummer night's eve
06:07
|
|

The pale gray sky turned gold
She captured every ray of light that fell on my eyes
I felt like never before
So now I know
That sometimes dreams
Do come true
Just believe
There is a way
Of getting what you want
Dreams come true
Just believe
That one night
I took her skin
She was mine
Could not escape
Years went by
Nothing changed
The way I saw it
She belonged to me
The only way for her to return
To once again dwell in her domain
Our offspring needs to find her skin
So she can roam the sea once again
I know that one day I’ll wake up
And find her not next to me
That day will come
But it doesn’t matter much to me
The shifting of their shape, so powerfull
To trick us in fullfilling all their dreams
Powerless unless they once transform
One weakness, I than used, she was forlorn
So now I know
That sometimes dreams
Do come true
Just believe
There is a way
Of getting what you want
Dreams come true
Just believe
I know that one day I’ll wake up
And find her not next to me
That day will come
But it doesn’t matter much to me
The only way for her to roam her world
Is safely kept by me, her skin.
