Refrain:
I’m flying through the air, noone ever flys through.
I’m walking through woods, noone ever walked.
I’m swimming in oceans, noone will swim in.
…I’m gliding away, I’m gliding away…

Strophe 1:
I see your hair, but it’s just nothing.
I see your eyes, but it’s just nothing.
I see your lips, but it’s just nothing.
I see you, but you’re unreal.

I’m just sitting there in black emptyness
and can’t stop the bleeding of my heart.

Strophe 2:
And as I stand at the nightmare river
and silver moonlight falls on my lost illusions,
a great black unicorn comes flying through the air,
with you on it’s back.

And I can’t move, when it steals my heart
and you are still laughing.

Strophe 3:
Now I’m swimming in my sea of blood
with thousands of sharks around me.
They try to get my body,
but my body is stronger than they are.

So they try to get my mind,
and they get it.

Strophe 4:
And I ask myself : What is love ?
And I ask myself : What is life ?
And I ask myself : What am I ?
And now I find any answers,

but noone else will understand.
Only someone who’s waiting beyond the fog.

Strophe 1:
To forgive and forget
when all ideals turn to ashes
so easy to decide
but not to execute.

To forgive and forget
while the demons are still dancing
violated by nature
and raped by faith.

And everything that I see
are green and red colours
changing immediatly
into different shades of grey.

Wandering alone
through dreams of disillusions
searching for a sign
and starving for belief.

Refrain:
Unable to move
I´m lying bounded on the ground
with calm in my eye
and fire in my head.

Unable to move
I´m hiding from my destiny
with dreams in my soul
and pain in my past.

Break:
I will not say
I´m unwilling to change my view
I´m unable to act like a human
Unhappy to think like a slave

But then I agree
to unagreeable words
to unthinkable thoughts
to eternity from the view…
…of an insect

Strophe 2:
So the cruelity comes near
and all tears are kissed away now
formed a body from the dust
with a mind out of steel.

And my eyes disappear
I don´t need them anymore
just the feelings in my head
and the world´s becoming clear.

Starring at the world
with the view of a child
everything that remains
is a shadow of the past.

A contract in my hand
it is signed with my blood
I try to understand
but I always fail…

Refrain:
Unable to move
I´m lying blinded on my knees
with calm in my head
and fire in my eyes.

Unable to speak
I´m searching for my destiny
with pain in my soul
and dreams of the past.

And the secret remains…

Strophe 1:
Something stroke me and I saw it was the midnight-demon’s claw.
His words turned into poisoned rain, intoxicating the blood in my veins.
And I lost my sense of light as I wandered all around.
And the fog was getting thicker as I crept over the ground.
And I try to raise my voice, but I couldn’t speak no more.
But at least a gift of life led me to the ocean’s shore.
And the secret remains…

And then a voice kisses my ear, the whisper of the ocean’s waves:
“Come to me, forget your fears, deeper and deeper…”

Refrain:
And when I see your light, I follow you blindly,
no matter, what I will find.
And When I see your light, I follow you blindly,
leaving the chains of the world behind… Deeper and deeper…

Strophe 2:
And when I fall into your arms and your tenderness,
I feel what the beauty of life means to me.
Without any doubts I’m praying to every god
that eternity has ever seen.

I forget the time and what is real,
all my senses are breathing wide,
I’m closing my mind, just enjoying what I feel,
following your sun as my only guide.
And the secret remains…

And then a scream hits my ear, the roaring of the ocean’s waves:
“Come to me and find your fears, deeper and deeper…”

Refrain 2:
And then I see your light and I’m following in silence,
in my eye just one little tear.
And then I see your light and I’m following in silence,
knowing that I have to face my fears…

Strophe 3:
The water turns cold, your mask disappears
and I see your face with its demonic eyes.
I’m sinking and sinking, not able to breath,
alone with my past and my silent cries,
deeper and deeper… And the secret remains…

Strophe 1:
Anfangs dachte ich,
Du würdest mich sezieren,
meinen Leib studieren,
doch ich irrte mich.

Anfangs dachte ich,
Du wolltest mich verschlingen,
um Wärme mir zu bringen,
so wenig kann´t ich Dich!

Dich und Deinen Zorn, auf alles was lebendig scheint.
Dich und Deine Wut, die alles Leben stets verneint.

Ref.:
Die Welt ist grausam, und Du bist ein Teil von ihr,
spielst nur Dein Spiel mit mir.
Die Welt ist grausam, und Du bist ein Teil von ihr,
spielst nur Dein Spiel mit mir.

Strophe 2:
Später dachte ich,
ich würde Dich verstehen,
die Dinge anders sehen,
und wieder irrte ich mich.

Heute weiß ich´s besser:
Ich bin nur Fleisch für Dich
doch ändern kann ich´s nicht,
zu tief steckt schon Dein Messer.

Du zerschneidest meine Adern, Du verbeißt Dich in mein Herz.
Bohrst wild in meinen Eingeweiden und weidest Dich in meinem Schmerz.

Strophe 1:
An jenem Tag im blauen Mond September
still unter einem jungen Pflaumenbaum,
da hielt ich sie, die stille bleiche Liebe,
in meinem Arm wie einen holden Traum.
Und über uns im schönen Sommerhimmel
war eine Wolke, die lange sah,
sie war sehr weiß und ungeheuer oben,
und als ich aufsah, war sie nimmer da.

Strophe 2:
Seit jenem Tag sind viele, Monde
geschwommen still hinunter und vorbei.
Die Pflaumenbäume sind wohl abgehauen,
und fragst du mich, was mit der Liebe sei?
So sag ich dir: ich kann mich nicht erinnern,
und doch, gewiß, ich weiß schon, was du meinst.
Doch ihr Gesicht, daß weiß ich wirklich nimmer,
ich weiß nur mehr: ich küßte es dereinst.

Strophe 3:
Und auch den Kuß, ich hätt ihn längst vergessen,
wenn nicht die Wolke dagewesen wär,
die weiß ich noch und wird ich immer wissen,
sie war sehr weiß und kam von oben her.
Die Pflaumenbäume blühn vielleicht noch immer,
und jene Frau hat jetzt vielleicht das siebte Kind,
doch jene Wolke blühte nur Minuten,
und als ich aufsah, schwand sie schon im Wind.

Strophe 1:
I will reach for the sun and the star shine for me.
I am swimming into wideness while the sea is floating me.

Without any sense of fear I am hunting for the sky,
all the deserts full of flowers and the oceans getting dry.

On a clouded-winged horse I am riding through the air,
escaping from reality, the past is anywhere.

Drunk of life, love and madness I will leave the holy ground,
stepping into misty future where no reasons can be found.

Refrain:
But than I’m prisoned in the cage
that the sadness built for me
constructed on a winter day
where summer sun should be.

Dirty claws around my throat
and in chains made out of trust
I am waiting for the daylight
realizing that I’m lost.

I will forgive you
I will forgive you
I will forgive you
I will forgive you

Strophe 2:
So I feel sorry for emotions, but the damage’s always done.
One or two eternal moments and the truth is right to come.

And as the moon forgets to shine in a heavy icy night
I find any kind of answers but not one of them is right.

Refrain…
