7. THE DOWNFALL 

The downfall - a pleasure to watch it in your arms
Flaming red inferno, we relish the dying horizon 

With fiery thorns in your hands
You strike stakes of lust through my heart
When all around us is lit
Our love will gleam like the vital spark
Into an ocean of reddish tears
We glide away, unite our souls
My inflamed skin caressed by your hands
The fever enslaves us again and again... 

Thousands of souls� torches
Extinct, withered side by side
We are destined to celebrate
The cremation of mankind
Slowly devoured by a gorge of heat
Melted away - the bad, depraved seed
Screamed out for help, to heaven they cried 

"I declare the earth as purgatory" 

All I wanted was to touch the sky, but I was doomed to fail
Like an anguished child I sank down on my knees
In hopeless desperation I await your final kiss 

"Hic locus est ubi mors gaudet sucurrere vitae..."

8. DEDICATIONS 

One touch of your hand can open the heavens
Abducts me to long forgotten meadows of desire
Strange, I never believed that one glance of eyes
Would be able to touch me inside like yours did
I always thought that something was buried
Long time ago, deep inside... 

One touch... 

...And there never was a greater pleasure
Than to stay awake for hours and hold you tight
To feel your silent breath upon my hand
As I push your hair from your face
And I dare not to wake you
For this would wake me, too...

9. STORMBIRDS 

Like a storm-driven bird at night
We came flying out of the nowhere
And for a moment our wings gleamed
Like gold in the light of fire
And are gone again to the nowhere 

The cold grey sea, it waits for me
And the foaming waves call me down
To howling winds and a steel blue sky
But the cold grey sea calls forever 

Like gold fall the leaves in the wind
When farewell-time, autumn has come
All these years, they have passed
Like the wave on the shore of the sea 

Time passes, the place I search for
It's still just a longing inside
Something strange and unknown to me
To be grounded somewhere, no longer
A stormbird in shaking and howling

10. AS I BREATHE THE DAWN 

Pain over my soul, another morning gleams outside the world
A new day's dew moves in, what do I breathe? What paralyses me? 

As I inhale the cold air from the world's lung
I cast my being far away from me
In a crystal sphere on the ground I see my life
On my knees I kiss the death with all her beauty 

In the frosty beginning of the autumn's dawn
When nature dies away from earth
White fog above the meadows is the border behind my eyes
Let me know that your downfall is my birth 

Grey light shines through dead trees
Takes away the brown leaves in the end
My mother's garden sleeps its lust away
Her will lies motionless in my hands

11. SPLEEN

(Charles Baudelaire *1821 +1867) 

Quand le ciel bas et lourd p�se comme un couvercle
Sur l'esprit g�missant en proie aux longs ennuis,
Et que de l'horizon embrassant tout le cercle
Il nous verse un jour noir plus triste que les nuits; 

Quand la terre est chang�e en un cachot humide,
O� l'Esp�rance, comme une chauve-souris,
S'en va battant les murs de son aile timide
Et se cognant la t�te � des plafonds pourris; 

Quand la pluie �talant ses immenses tra�n�es
D'une vaste prison imite les barreaux,
Et qu'un peuple muet d'inf�mes araign�es
Vient tendre ses filets au fond de nos cerveaux, 

Des cloches tout � coup sautent avec furie
Et lancent vers le ciel un affreux hurlement,
Ainsi que des esprits errants et sans patrie
Qui se mettent � geindre opini�trement. 

- Et de longs corbillards, sans tambours ni musique,
D�filent lentement dans mon �me; l'Espoir,
Vaincu, pleure, et l'Angoisse atroce, despotique,
Sur mon cr�ne inclin� plante son drapeau noir.

12. UNIVERSE 

�Give me the sleep I need to forget
My pain and my sorrow, my grief and my dept
Give me the sleep I need to forgive
Hypocrisy, cruelty, hatred and if
There's someone to hear me 
       Then answer my cries
And if you are near me
       Please drop your disguise
I need to get out, please show me a way
To cope with my dread and my fear every day� 

Restricted are my paths, destinations of myself far away
The wheel of life has stopped turning , an angel leads me astray
I am longing for farewell, just a passenger in a boat
A boat called life - after which wave will it lose its load 

Void, peace and stillness
Is what I yearned for
Let me be a fallen star
Insignificance is what I will earn 

Universe - I want to drift in your eternity
<Universe - lay your arms around my soul
Universe - a part of you I want to be
>Universe - your star of death, I've seen it gloww  

I want to drift into your eternity
Lay your arms around my soul
A part of you I want to be
Your star of death, I've seen it glow 

Prepared for your reception
Your timeless nothingness awaits me
Universe - are you a part of me?
A part of you I want to be

13. A PART OF YOU 

Ich möchte fliehen, geradewegs zu Dir
Verschmelzen will ich mit Deinem Nichts
Verbrenne mich, reiß' mich heraus
Nimm mir mein Seelenfeuer
Iß mein Herz für meine Ruhe
Hinab zieht mich mein Sein
Kein Strang gibt Halt
Erlöst und lächelnd gleite ich in Deine Welt
