So this is how it ends, with ice between
The light is out that was alive within
When paths will meet in one, lit by the same sun
Who lets the shadow grow and strike the blow?
Who poured out hatred where there should be love?
Who poured out poison where there should be balm?
Now who can heal the wound
And make the flower
Come forth again and blossom?
A sting of emptiness on every turn
The memory embers will forever burn
Twinkles of oneness gone, the sparks for hanging on
Keen like the morning star though far they are
Who poured out hatred where there should be love?
Who poured out poison where there should be balm?
Now who can heal the wound
And make the flower
Come forth again and blossom?
Who will ever be
The redeemer
Who will ever be?
Now who can heal the wound
And make the flower
Come forth again and blossom?

The Feast

Now the feast is over
Now the guests are gone
All that’s left to watch
Is guardian angels hover
Sunlight, sunlight, seek for your dying child
Somewhere in the shade, somewhere far away
He lies
Hard was the fight, hard for a broken mind
Longing for a myth buried in the filth
He cries
Undercurrent heartbeat
Drumming from afar
Twilight, quiver, spark
Hiding in the ashes
Fierce the deadly poison claiming its reward
Of fightless perdition in oblivion
Fierce the resolution not to let go

You’ve been gone a while and I
I wait for you to come again
No I won’t say so long, it’s not true
And I know you will appear somehow
Cross the border to a dream and then
Step out of there and fill this horrid void
You could (you do so all the time)
Retrace those steps
Don’t forget I’m petrified
Without you
Even though you never promised it
Even though I never told you to
We might defy the parting fate
So you’d travel on a secret breeze
On a distant tune from shores unknown
And simply
Simply walk in warm and strong
You could (you seemed so real just now)
Reclaim our time
Don’t believe I can really live
Far from you
But how can I pretend
That you have not been swallowed by
The only truth we’ve ever known
And I know too well
It’s really you who will receive me
When my turn
When my own great hour comes
You can’t (nobody ever can)
Recross the line
I can’t change
An end beyond my mortal will

Gone is the grace of the sun stroking me
Gone are the petals of buds opening
Hey, hey, life is such a jewel
She deserves better
Hey, hey, life is such a jewel
She deserves a bow
So many hearts yearning in their own flame
The world feeds on one vein and that’s flooded with pain
Whisper goes unheard
“The moon rose not to be bought, no
Neither was light to die out
And be buried by the hands of murderers”
If only there came
One time to kneel at last
If only there came a time…

A warden proud, a witness lone
Beneath all skies, in ebb and flow
I am lord and servant, I am wished for
By pure and wicked alike
Beneath all skies, lighting and lighting
And watching and waiting as life surges by
Ebb and flow, beaming and lighting
Embroidering time with my slow, silent pulse
I bid you farewell, I welcome you home
In fear and dare, in awe and scorn
In folly and wisdom, in blessing and doom
I am lord and servant, hope is my fief
For pure and wicked alike
Beneath all skies, lighting and lighting
And watching and waiting as life surges by
Ebb and flow, beaming and lighting
Embroidering time with my slow, silent pulse
I bid you farewell, I welcome you home

The light is out that was alive within
When paths will meet in one, lit by the same sun
Who lets the shadow grow and strike the blow?
Who poured out hatred where there should be love?
Who poured out poison where there should be balm?
Now who can heal the wound
And make the flower
Come forth again and blossom?
A sting of emptiness on every turn
The memory embers will forever burn
Twinkles of oneness gone, the sparks for hanging on
Keen like the morning star though far they are
Who poured out hatred where there should be love?
Who poured out poison where there should be balm?
Now who can heal the wound
And make the flower
Come forth again and blossom?
Who will ever be
The redeemer
Who will ever be?
Now who can heal the wound
And make the flower
Come forth again and blossom?
