1. A Sorrowfull Farewell

Counting the time
Waiting for the crime
The loss of innocence
A faint reminiscence

I`m in the twilight
Surrounded by the night
The memories have been disgraced
The scene is still unchanged

The time is near
The messgae is clear
The battle will be fought
Fight now.Fear not.

I keep stil
I am trying to feel
The hate that`s within you
Im going to win you

I was mistaken
I was forgotten
Unbroken silence
Absolute violence

I praise the song of defeat
I am the bottom and he`s the summit
A sorrowfull farewell
Where does salvation dwell?






2. Among Two Storms

Full moon - raise the rainbow
The sea experts - prepare the bow
An optical miracle - a moon as high as one

It buzzes around your ears
An easy day will follow the twilight
It must be the last full moon
It's near the promised time

Two hundreds
High strain
Threaten the mankind
Among two storms

It's hot althought it's midnight
The mothers died at once
Father itself the rainbow
Both sons will last no more

The thunder bears two mothers
The mother bears two sons
Echoes in the distance
All turn to sun's size






3. A Dead Poem

Focus tomorrow`s horizon
Sorrow means no future
Cover my face
With my guilty hands

It`s the season the trees die
The birds don`t sing anymore
The rivers never come back
Nature dies out

This tragic future
destinied to hurt never heal
What end can save me
What good gives me an end

Nothing is innocent
Nothing is fair
I keep wondering
How did I end up like this

First passion
Now is lost
A dramatic dead story
I killed all I have

My sadness is
Translated into madness
I spell meaningless words
A poem for sorrow and death






4. Out of Spirit

Great dilemma
Detestable thoughts
Non-existing facts
Ans it`s the grief that accompanies you

Life and death are struggling
The outcome is wavering
The decision is ours
But the truth escapes me

The sadness of bereavement
The loss of innocence
Hate made an untrodded path
Of my soul

I walk lightly
Trying not to wake
My sleeping conciousness
Trying to resist myself

The fate has schemed
Against us
The weak are condemned
Fear now
I want to be alive
But my soul is asleep
You can say whatever
I go on all alone






5. As If by Magic

The night absorbs reality
And relases fantasy
It tickles my vanity
And throws me into ecstasy

The abbys of illusion
Reveals a fairy land
I am in confusion
For I`ve got out of hand

The fairies of the night
Surround me, beset me
Fear is their delight They will try to take me

The new moon salutes me
The wind whispers a word
The wicked witches embrace me
And touch me with their magic hand

And I become air
And I become fire
The enemies filled with despair
As I am getting higher and higher

I have gained the wisdom
I have honoured the spell
I have conquered the stardom
I have beaten the night as well

Innocence arrives with dawn
All creatures start to die
They leave me alone
And are eager for the night






6. Full Colour is the Night

Shall I tell you the legend?
About a garden wearing is black
I`ll tell you about the whispers
The dark eyes of night

Moonlight is the brightness
Before each dawn
I lose my beauty
I lose my light

Full is the night
Fullfills my mind
The painters are the stars
Mix black with white

Pain all trees
The flowers
The waters
Full colours is the night

Free ride with the wind
With the queen of the night
Under the spell of her cold eyes
I dressed all i dress

Smell my difference
See my only love
Take no colours
Mesmerized in night






7. Semigod

Open me a gate
Throught the red sky
Give me the power of two lions
The eye of the falcon
Your blood in my veins

What destiny will follow
Under your divine will
Into brave lands
I will drift

Semigod from your love with a mortal
woman
Half man, half god
I threw my soul
Into your world

One wise - eye God
Only sly evil eye
And the magic following me
Nothing can scare me
Nothing moves me
Nothing burns me
Nothing kills me
Nothing beats me






8. Between Times

The drums of time I have stopped
The ecstatic quietude
Sucks up every fear
And every desire

Illusions of the moment
Featureless figures
Intensified feelings
I`m running behind my shadow

In this vastness
I can feel your presence
I cannot understand
Your misleading words

Inconceivable beauty
Sweet melody
Forgotten senses
Are waking up

Dark is the night
Always and never
This is the time
Of total purification

Lost in thoughts
Trying to touch

The perfect moment
But the clock strikes again
