Silver Apples

I went down into the woods with a fire in my head
The path I used to follow has vanished in the haze
I felt just like I should have ventured in your trail
Through the hollow lands of sorrow to where you and I once lay
While everything went silent your humming still remains
And it guides me through the wasteland where no one dares to wait
I’ll find out where you’re hiding though your track seems to fade
But there’s more than meets the eye and your shadow will unveil

Afterglow
05:06
|
|||
|
Suddenly I’m in the doldrums craving for a last desperate glow
And all I get are tiresome reflections
Churning inside me for hours, this longing will never let go
The memory of the firelight
And we will beat the silence we’ll never cede to idle emotions
For we will keep the fire lit
And set our hearts in motion and never cede to idle emotions
Slowly the numbness takes over
But don’t you wreck my being
Save me from a long oblivion
Help me fight this falling out
That wretched feeling
That every words will lose their meaning
Sighs are our only expressions

Stellar Door
07:08
|

|
Far up ahead, well beyond my reach, there’s a gleam
A distant flare I’d never seen
It pours inside my ears a faint electric sound
pervades my head and follows me around
And it won’t let go so easily now
My nights are full of empty dreams
Ain’t it strange?
Ain’t it strange?
My mind goes blank whenever you are near
Seeping in through every breach
It’s keeping me awake ‘til the witching hour
The lights are lit and won’t go fading out
But I won’t forsake my own beliefs ‘cause my eyes are blind to fantasies
Ain’t it strange?
It feels so strange to me
Time goes backwards
Up in this place
We all need something
To ease the strain

River Crossing

|
Couple miles north there’s a river bending its course
Down the road, straight by that fire
Engine starts too slow covered with mud, rusty and cold
Howlin’ at the earth a long-drawn sigh
How long should I wait before I go?
The buzzing sound of fireflies arises in the dimming light of day
How long should I wait before I go?
Looming on the other side, a golden jackal with heavy eyes awaits
Laying on the banks
Out of reach

King Felix

When I am King of Everything, through light and spring I will be healed
No one will Ignore
When I have reached the deepest sea, at last I will embrace my fears
No one will ignore
When I am beamed into the real, through ageless dreams I’ll disappear
No one will recall
Longing for an outbreak
The onset of the storm
Desperately awake as the room begins to narrow
No escape from silence
I’m feeling out of sync
Spreading all around the twisted sound of sorrow
Spacing out for hours
I’m feeling so much strain
As I slowly remove hands from my face
My mind is open wide
My spirit’s on fire
Yet it keeps on yearning for the same
Take me to the place where I go mad
Throw up all your flames my skin is shed

Ghost Dance

Our fathers went beyond this earth / they reached the upper realm
Released themselves from hidden chains / swallowed by the shade
Praise the dead
Their names are lost in the western wind / but their souls have never left
We will not grieve for those who are gone / they’ll roam this earth again
Praise the dead
Past lives of ours / so vivid and strong
They echo in the present / as we drift along
Hiding from the sunlight / growing in the murk
I can hear them whispering / the most secret words
No I'm not lonely
I know I'm not the only one

Almighty Ocean
03:21
|
|||
|
Enter the ark, along with my creatures and fears, or leave me alone
And don’t bother thinking about all of the things that you’ve missed – that you’ve never seen
The light sparks are stirring me up in my sleep - it obstructs the dawn
The almighty ocean is drawing me off course - you know what it means to me
Never before have I flinched, too afraid to let go anything uncleaned
But I won’t stay here waiting for something that will never come
All I could tell was the ocean

The Sleeper
05:01

Strung out and stranded You’re tied to your bed
Through the blankets you shake as the day begins to fade in the night
You'll wake up (You'll make it) You'll rise up (You'll make it)
Your eyes look so empty, your voice seems so frail
And your face is so pale when your smile used to blaze
Time keeps you mourning but light pours on everything
Time keeps you mourning but light pours on everything
Step outside your shelter and breathe in again
Don’t let it overcome you
When it gets closer and you feel so afraid
Don’t let it overcome you
When everlasting regrets are all that remains
Don’t let it overcome you
When everything seems withered and living is vain
Don’t let it overcome you
Though all of your troubles will never erase
Don’t let it overcome you
And even when it’s desperate to hope for a change
Don’t let it overcome you
