1. Flowers In The Rain

I feel her last embrace on me
The final autumn sun
Drownin? in a sea of golden spawns

Once away but oh so near
Gathered gloomy clouds
Passin? in the sky as golden swans

The morning dew, the fallen leaves
The shorter growin? days
All I've seen, but never from this side

All my dreams that seemed so real
All they passed on by
Sunken in the last October light?

And so I lost it ? again but forever new
The worlds keeps turning - so do I but without you
And I keep dreamin? ? as I did since my dreams began
The swans are passing and the joy ? in the drowning ? sun

The lights of spring, the gloom of fall

All it has been real
All it's left this mourning deep inside

And once again the leaves will dwell
The swans then will return
But will I ever see the present light?

And so I lost it?

Long lost and forgotten you are
Covered by the fallen leaves
The only shelter they bring
To forget? what I'll never reach

And so I lost it?


2. Waterbride

I'm standing in a cold flood
When I'm going over the lake of tears
I'm watching the glittering stars of the sunshine
A shadow from the Venus-pearl
My everywhere blinding and my phantasies
Let red black flames in me dwell
I will join the red honey
On my lips and on my skin? and in me
As I saw the waterbride?


3. Fallen Leaves

Arrived at the gate of helplessness
Standing in this bloody earth in hopeless veils
I cry in the winds, and remembrance will dwell
As still the wounds are deep?
Abandoned and left alone, cursed and acrificed
Driven away by her pride I'll wait
Beyond the doors? for a light beyond the doors
In a frozen, yet lonely time?

Your beauty ? and my need
Your looks ? and my silence
Your image ? and my fear
Your looks, for one last time
Your image for one last time
Feeling your kisses on my silent cheeks ? just one time
Touching your blossoms just one time
Costing your stream just one time? talkin? to you?

The storm of the seasons? destructing me
And my leaves fall to the ground
And I revel in my wounds as I feed
My blood mother earth? I'll fall to my knees

In the shadows I'll remain unseen
My misery to mother earth? and in loneliness
I'll die? insignificant and unconscious in this winter
In a world only I live in?
-where life's no more worth to live?

At the gates I cry for you
So I remain unseen in the shadows? in fear?
The ivy will grow one with my body
It chains me to your bonds? the ivy of fear?
-I hate? disgust? mankind? and I love?

And I'll wait at the gate ? as the leaves will fall
To see the light ? as the leaves will fall
That we dance in the gardens of heaven ? as the leaves?
Over the mountain, and along the river ? as the leaves?
Another world without harm ? as the leaves?

Fallen leaves

5. Crystal Dance

Endless sorrow is running from out tearful eyes
Flowin? down in many rivers
Turning to one in a neverending stream
On its way down to the wide and endless ocean of tears
The ocean of time lets all remembrance to our crystal dance die
The time of waiting that has changed us?
And will separate us forever?

Our crystal dance
We've laughed and we've cried
I was young and didn't know
Our crystal dance

In the summer air we've been enchanted
We walked past the ocean of time
Where we walked our separate ways for this oh so endless time?
To the ends of this ocean we now have reached
And we cry our endless tears?

Our crystal dance?

This single summer just we danced our crystal dance
And then we lost each other in the eternity of time?


6. Flowing Tears & Withered Flowers

Black crows surround my body
In a bloody occident
Fans surround my spirit
And veils surround the body of my bride
The snow lies cold and the frozen river
Is flowing to the valley of tears?

On the bank the bleeding trees
Their blood is spilling away
And a tear is pouring in the stream
Withered flowers covering my bride
My spirit is fallin? ill
And our love is runnin? over flint fields?

The snow whips depression upon the land
Black crows are gathering
Our rhapsody is playin? the final song
And the requiem of thy life is coming to an end

I'm standing by thy grave, the coffin is lyin?
Over the tomb? flowing tears fulfill me?
You ? the rose of my life ? you'll fade to black
In a long and cold dark winter night?

-flowing tears and withered flowers?

The coffin is suspended to the tomb
And the tears are pouring on the withered flowers
I'm falling to the ground, my tears are droppin?
Melting the snow? I'll fall in the cold and our flames
Are extinguished as we die? as we fade away


7. Along A Dreaming Ocean

Along a dreaming ocean.

Coral banks of the eternal desire
Pass away before my eyes.

And across I walk so [...] a romance
The flames of [...] dream
Cycling, dragging, the eternal winds
Where some ... the worms and sand
The eternal winds gloaming now
At your feet on carrying sand ... color

[Chorus:]
Along a dreaming ocean
I've been looking for you
To find the island
Your heart is lying on,
To find the many [...]
That I could understand you.

The dreams of romance, sweetness and desire
A scarlet fire to travel in me
A scarlet's trips a passing my heart
The long hair that lava floods
Dreaming to your pending dress
My [...] bloody, bloody sun
This skin dreaming the color
And so passing myself
And I dream in your arms
And the ocean [...] someday when
And you're lovely back
[...] trips
Your hands are combing my hair.
When I'm in your arms

[Chorus]

I've never understood
Why you doubt trusting my love.

And I dream of the red lava floods
At the ocean of the scarlet sun
The beautiful lovely red flames
In your arms
In your arms


8. And I Drown

"In a sorry smile
For all I said
Shall I drown in yours
As once? all I had?"
