Follow … gaze upon Waves … time undone Now … face your fears Gone … days and years One … no ship no crew Two … no more for you I … up to the task You … drown in your mask Follow the waves They drown out the voices from the past None of it could last Just end it fast It couldn’t last Just end it fast Float … don’t look back Follow … just stay on track Drown … all in the past Waves … free us at last One … still more to do Two … never got through I … with open eyes You … caught in your lies The crushing waves They drown out the sorrow and the fear We’re just no way near Don’t shed a tear Let go – stand clear We’re no way near One … with wounds to heal Two … could no more feel I … have let it go You … will never know The crushing waves And currents take us to a new shore None like before Can’t stay no more To the new shore No way – no more The crushing waves Carry us forth and set us free Let go and you’ll see They set us free Just float and be Come forth and see Follow … and understand Now … on this new land Gone … time has passed Waves … took you at last Follow the waves They drown out the voices from the past None of it could last Just end it fast It couldn’t last Just end it fast

From the ashes, Born again to new glory, The phoenix spreads his wings Rising, soaring above the ruins New strength, agility and purpose found Rebirth / renewal / resurrection From The Ashes Rise! Rise! Born again out of the fiery inferno Rejoicing after the blaze in a new form Climbing higher on the currents, ever upwards Far above the wastelands, desolation and demise. Rebirth / renewal / resurrection From The Ashes Rise! Rise! The burning of the past Lights up the future Bright and new No holding back, no looking back, The phoenix spreads its wings. Rebirth / renewal / resurrection From The Ashes Rise! Rise!

Floodgates 03:19
Deep and dark the honey flows, Nothing light, just blackness shows. Hate eternal pumps like blood, Sweep all away in one big flood. Dripping down from open veins, Comb by comb, black honey drains. Drown this world with sticky black, On and off the beaten track. Honey’s golden ichor flow, And the darkness’ never-ending tow. Giving rise to what is ours, Grinding down the mighty towers. Standing up after hard knocks, Building up our combs and blocks. Deep and dark through thin and thick, Flood and cleanse this world so sick. From hearts and souls it’s pouring out, Honey from a darkened cloud. Blocking out all sun and light, Behold the floodgates open wide.

Am Bienenhause liegt der Strahl Der Sonn’ und weckt die Bienen; Zur Arbeit möchten sie ins Tal, Allein, was wehrt es ihnen? Ach, das Tal noch kahl zumal Liegt im winterlichen Bann, Ohne Blum’ und Blüten. Und auch den Finken regt das Licht, Das helle, hell zu schlagen; Warum doch schicket er sich nicht Gepaart zu Nest zu tragen? Weil noch licht, weil dicht noch nicht Laub und Blatt der Baum gewann, um ein Nest zu hüten. In diesen Lüften webest du Und schwebst auf diesen Strahlen; Was hebest du die Todesruh’ Nicht auch von diesen Talen? Frühling, tu dazu im Nu, Daß der Kunstfleiß sammeln kann, Und die Liebe brüten!

Cold in the earth, and the deep snow piled above thee! Far, far removed, cold in the dreary grave! Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee, Severed at last by Time's all-severing wave? Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover Over the mountains on that northern shore, Resting their wings where heath and fern-leaves cover Thy noble heart for ever, ever more? Cold in the earth, and fifteen wild Decembers From those brown hills have melted into spring — Faithful indeed is the spirit that remembers After such years of change and suffering! Sweet Love of youth, forgive if I forget thee, While the world's tide is bearing me along: Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me, Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong. No other sun has lightened up my heaven, No other star has ever shone for me: All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given — All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee. But when the days of golden dreams had perished, And even Despair was powerless to destroy, Then did I learn how existence could be cherished, Strengthened and fed without the aid of joy. Then did I check the tears of useless passion, Weaned my young soul from yearning after thine; Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten Down to that tomb already more than mine. And even yet I dare not let it languish, Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain; Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish, How could I seek the empty world again?

Sich mir eröffnend Gleißend hell und klar Erstrahlt die goldene Göttin Im Honig auf immer dar Das Bild aus dem Fiebertraume Verlässt mich niemals mehr Komm erhöre mich Göttin Meine Sehnsucht wiegt so schwer Dein Duft, betörend Aus all’ deinen Poren Dein Sang süß fließend Nur für meine Ohren Schmachtend und sehnend Ich bin schon verloren Werde ich endlich Zum Tanz auserkoren Du bist / Die Honig-Göttin, meine Es ist / Der Tanz, der uns vereine Du bist / Mir süß und hold wie keine … Nur für mich alleine! Du bist / Die Honig-Göttin, meine Es ist / Der Tanz, der uns vereine Du bist / Mir süß und hold wie keine … Nur für mich alleine! Ein Schicksal so schwer Die Träume zerfallen So fern doch so nah Die Klänge verhallen Im Tanze vereint Aufs Neue erschallen Der Wahnsinn befreit Ich bin Dir verfallen! Du bist / Die Honig-Göttin, meine Es ist / Der Tanz, der uns vereine Du bist / Mir süß und hold wie keine … Nur für mich alleine! Du bist / Die Honig-Göttin, meine Es ist / Der Tanz, der uns vereine Du bist / Mir süß und hold wie keine … Nur für mich alleine! Dein Duft betörend Aus all’ deinen Poren Dein Sang süß fließend Nur für meine Ohren Schmachtend und sehnend Ich bin schon verloren Werde ich endlich Zum Tanz auserkoren Der Honig so süß Wir drehn uns zu zweit Das ewige Ende Der Einsamkeit Mein Trugbild, bleib bei mir Für alle Zeit Ein Tanz ohne Ende Der Wahnsinn befreit Du bist / Die Honig-Göttin, meine Es ist / Der Tanz, der uns vereine Du bist / Mir süß und hold wie keine … Nur für mich alleine! Du bist / Die Honig-Göttin, meine Es ist / Der Tanz, der uns vereine Du bist / Mir süß und hold wie keine … Nur für mich alleine!

L‘ennemi 03:56
Ma jeunesse ne fut qu'un ténébreux orage, Traversé çà et là par de brillants soleils; Le tonnerre et la pluie ont fait un tel ravage, Qu'il reste en mon jardin bien peu de fruits vermeils. Voilà que j'ai touché l'automne des idées, Et qu'il faut employer la pelle et les râteaux Pour rassembler à neuf les terres inondées, Où l'eau creuse des trous grands comme des tombeaux. Et qui sait si les fleurs nouvelles que je rêve Trouveront dans ce sol lavé comme une grève Le mystique aliment qui ferait leur vigueur? — Ô douleur! ô douleur! Le Temps mange la vie, Et l'obscur Ennemi qui nous ronge le coeur Du sang que nous perdons croît et se fortifie!

Now that you see The end of the road Mind Charon’s coin To step in the boat Crossing the Styx Just one of the ways To name the great passing The end of your days See you on the other side Your last request has been denied See you on the other side Struggle, plead and flee you might See you on the other side The noose around your neck so tight See you on the other side Fall, crash, burn – end of the ride All the way down Shell after shell All that awaits The one who fell See if you will Inside that box Down six feet under Headstones and rocks See you on the other side The target’s locked – you’re in my sight See you on the other side Screaming mouth and eyes so wide See you on the other side Your time has come – eternal night See you on the other side Where atoms die and souls collide All are alike Inside that shroud Just wishful thinking A place on a cloud Nothing for you No promised reward No matter how many You put to the sword See you on the other side Death will come and turn the tide See you on the other side You’ve left and it just feels so right See you on the other side Rotten skin and bones all dried See you on the other side Nowhere to run, no place to hide Swept out to sea Or down through a drain Rotting in earth It all stops the pain

Heimkehr 06:00
Nichts süßres ist, nichts, dass flimmert Rot, in der ersten Stund´des Tages, in unsre Augen, in uns dringt und schimmert vom Glanz des Morgens trinkt. Dort, wo die dunklen Flecken, nicht verwesen am Firmament, stolz sich gelbe Augen strecken, wie blaue Fäden am kühlen Monument. Und auf, auf, fort, hinfort! Unsere Füsse erheben sich und der Tau, streift uns zum Lebewohl, wie Honig, hell und grau. Wir wandern gemeinsam, in deinen stillen Händen sind Gräser und Blumen, und Ähren. Auf den Hügeln, feuerrot, starke Bären, eine neue Zeit erbrüllen, einen neuen Willen. Das Blut der Sonne trinken wir Schlaflos im Tiefenrausch.

Made it through Lived to tell And the scars to prove it Made it through Lived to tell And the scars to prove it The cuts ran deep With streaming blood The cuts ran deep Red gushing flood Left to perish In the cold Trust and faith Just bought and sold And the scars to prove it And the scars to prove it Made it through Lived to tell And the scars to prove it Made it through Lived to tell And the scars to prove it The cuts ran deep And made their mark Hidden bruises In the dark Trust betrayed Is the worst sin Cutting through The thickest skin And the scars to prove it And the scars to prove it Made it through Lived to tell And the scars to prove it Made it through Lived to tell And the scars to prove it Razorblades And scalpel knifes Scaring us For all our lives Left alive And stronger still Never broke Our iron will And the scars to prove it And the scars to prove it Made it through Lived to tell And the scars to prove it Made it through Lived to tell And the scars to prove it Nothing Remains But the scars to prove it Nothing Remains But the scars to prove it

Crack the whip and crack a smile Memory lane’s the longest mile Still today just like before Nothing but a penny-whore Service, cum, and service, go Such a number in the know Live to brag and lived to tell Never lost that pungent smell Renew your past, renew your ties Pure and white and lies, lies, lies Innocent – dressed up to show Still maid for all the world to know First in line first with a zinger Throw the stone and point the finger Big loud mouth to fit the nose By any name yet still no rose Down the hatch and down the drain Water after sticky rain Cool and scrubbed yet never clean No matter just how much you preen Shiny surface – shiny dress And underneath that cheesy mess Deep down to your rotten core Nothing but a penny-whore

Es ist aus 03:23
Nie mehr Nie wieder Niemals Nur noch die Erinnerung Seelische Zertrümmerung Nie mehr Nie wieder Niemals Tief unter dem Schutt der Zeit Nur Teil der Vergangenheit Nie mehr Nie wieder Niemals Niemals mehr eine Konzession Auf keine Absolution Nie mehr Nie wieder Niemals Ewig ist der Weg versperrt Wahrheit hast du nur verzerrt Nie mehr Nie wieder Niemals Es ist aus! Es ist aus! Es ist aus! Es ist aus!

There may be nothing above the earth There may be nothing beyond the sky It might be just what we deserve But it is me who will raise us high In my eyes you see the sun The flaming heart to bring the light Open my chest – it has begun The burning season will set it right Through the darkness comes the flame Shooting straight out of the heart Scorching the chest from which it came Let the burning season start The sacrifice to bring new life To light the darkness and the gloom There is no trace of inner strife I embrace my burning doom In the darkness you will find The light to signal and to start Leaving my chest and life behind The burning season took my heart Life and light - all will renew Barren lands will come alive All prophesied and true Yet the heart will not survive Torn from the chest it glows so bright Casting out darkness and decay It brings the burning season’s light It brings the dawn of the new day Through the darkness comes the flame Shooting straight out of the heart Scorching the chest from which it came Let the burning season start The sacrifice to bring new life To light the darkness and the gloom There is no trace of inner strife I embrace my burning doom In the darkness you will find The light to signal and to start Leaving my chest and life behind The burning season took my heart

Poisoned, sprayed by killer’s hands Silent death stalks through our lands All of life depending on The little ones who’ll soon be gone Spliced and grown to maximize The profit shines in greedy eyes Still the growth’s depending on Nature’s way that they’ve undone Dying, fading, creeping death Time to suffer nature’s wrath Our life depending on The back’n’forth we claim we’ve won Life sucked out a vibrant breed Short term gain – this rotten seed Fake demand but no real need See what came from this evil deed

Da waren trümmer nicht noch scherben Da war kein abgrund war kein grab Da war kein sehnen war kein werben: Wo eine stunde alles gab. Von tausend blüten war ein quillen Im purpurlicht der zauberei. Des vogelsangs unbändig schrillen Durchbrach des frühlings erster schrei. Das war ein stürzen ohne zäume Ein rasen das kein arm beengt - Ein öffnen neuer duftiger räume Ein rausch der alle sinne mengt.
