ALBUM: LIEDER
Cosmic
I want to believe
I have no other need
Can’t you see, I’m to be
A dreamer all my life
Who can deny
I know that it’s no lie
Sure we can all pull through
There will be a place to hide
Cosmic girl you rule my world
You make it real, I have no fear
I know it’s true, you are the muse
You show me the way
I want to believe
I have no other need
Don’t you know, I told you so
We make a perfect team
Deep down inside
I feel a homing device
Eventually I’ll come to you
In the restless tide
Cosmic girl you rule my world
You make it real, I have no fear
I know it’s true, you are the muse
You show me the way
Do you see me
My only one, my queen
You’re the best, you beat the rest
You are my everything
Let me bring you up to date
Hear me before it’s too late
My destiny is to be
Yours and and yours alone
Cosmic girl you rule my world
You make it real, I have no fear
I know it’s true, you are the muse
You show me the way

Horses Run With Me
Envy men they pillage and plunder
Land is empty, sky is burning
Rumbling like a train through a mountain
Coming on a landslide of jealousy
Naked souls
Fall to their knees
Touched by the blazing fire
Can you hear the sound of thunder
Rolling over hills and roof tops
It’s the roaring horde of the enemy
Their evil voices tear your heart out
Naked souls
fall to their knees
touched by the blazing fire
Horses run with me
Rising from the sea
Can you see a black cloud growing
The darkest shape of all the angels
They could lay them down in the valley
Dwell in the shadows an eternity
Naked souls
Fall to their knees
Touched by the blazing fire
Horses run with me
Rising from the sea
Horses run with me

Winter
In his brain, poison thoughts do flow
He always stares into the pitch-black deep
There’s no warmth in his heart
There’s no light, there is winter
Stumbling lonely in his clumsiness
Full of pain, such an ugly thing
If he wants to save his life
He has to hold it very gently
Through the night he wanders away
And he kneels to pray
Soon it will snow upon the trail
And time stands still, no reply
In his tracks no sun will shine for him
Cold and long, the shadows of tall trees
There he lies, so deformed
Treated by death and dying
Through the night he wanders away
And he kneels to pray
Soon it will snow upon the trail
And time stands still, no reply
He is cursed to winter wanderings
To a thousand wastelands dark and cold
Like the smoke thin and gray
He always seeks colder places
Through the night he wanders away
And he kneels to pray
Soon it will snow upon the trail
And time stands still, no reply

Heartbeat
Low lie the orange clouds
Stay out, no sleep tonight
The wood is full of tales to tell
The broken branches claw your face
You turn your back on the night and you slide down the street
You pick up the pace for every heartbeat
But how could you know, how could you know
Windows like hollow cries
The only sound to tear the night
Like a pain very deep and long
The path keeps going on and on
You turn your back on the night and you slide down the street
You pick up the pace for every heartbeat
Looks like you’ll be there soon, so why don’t you turn
Your back on the night – and slide down the street
You pick up the pace for every heartbeat
Looks like you’ll be there soon, but how could you know
It’s more than you deserve,
But you can’t forgive yourself
So the darkness speaks
But you listen, you listen well
You turn your back on the night and you slide down the street
You pick up the pace for every heartbeat
Looks like you’ll be there soon, so why don’t you turn
Your back on the night – and slide down the street
You pick up the pace for every heartbeat
Looks like you’ll be there soon, but how could you know

Hello
You live your life in a different world
In another place, another time
The gravity is only half of ours
Busy streets, plans and strong demands
Do you see, do you hear, do you feel the warp in time?
Don’t you need the symmetry to come true?
Do you fear to be near, do you tell yourself a lie?
Don’t you want to die and curse the universe? – Oh my
A change for us, it’s coming soon
Traffic grooves and towns collide
The city wheels without a sound
Could it be prophecy or just a chance?
Do you see, do you hear, do you feel the warp in time?
Don’t you need the symmetry to come true?
Do you fear to be near, do you tell yourself a lie?
Don’t you want to die and curse the universe? – Oh my
Hello, how are you?
Do you still feel the same?
Hello, how are you?
Can we still meet some day?

Castaway
Empty desert shore
A colourless sea
Shapeless distant lines
No night nor day
Send your team to rescue me
Pick me up – don’t leave on the surface
Lock on me your tractor beam
Red alert – I’m about to lose control
Save me
Miles and miles of waste
Move with a wave
Point of no return
An endless empty zone
Send your team to rescue me
Pick me up – don’t leave on the surface
Lock on me your tractor beam
Red alert – I’m about to lose control
Look at me
Run your sensors on my skin
I’m on your screen
Listen to me
Do you read me, I can hear you loud and clear
Do you read me?
Silence fills my mind
It pulls me down
Now I close my eyes
Scan me deep, look into me
Pick me up – don’t leave on the surface
Lock on me your tractor beam
Red alert – I’m about to lose control
Look at me
Run your sensors on my skin
I’m on your screen
Listen to me
Do you read me, I can hear you loud and clear
Do you read me?

Dream
Come on get closer
There’s no use to play dead
Resistant is futile
What you need is what you dread
Now the world is worn away
We live to dream another day
Dream follows me
I don’t want to wake up in the morning
Flow through debris
Dream away with me
Hide in the trees
Better keep the cover, the warm safe cover
Hold on to me
Dream away with me
Are you receiving
I called you without fear
For me you’re the real thing
Forgetfulness has brought us near
In my dream I sing a song
No-one knows if the tune goes wrong
Dream follows me
I don’t want to wake up in the morning
Flow through debris
Dream away with me
Hide in the trees
Better keep the cover, the warm safe cover
Hold on to me
Dream away with me
I close my eyes and there you are
In a moment we travel far
Heaven is on the pillow
Come fill my heart with content
*****
Hide and Seek
Undone, unaware, lazy
Hide and seek is the game that we play
Me, I’m walking in circles
I’m involved in a mystery
See, I’m trying to get through
Now it’s dark and I can’t hear a sound
If there’s something to hope for
That’s for me to know and you to find out
So now, can you hear me?
And now, can you still feel me?
Nightmares, let them take over
Sleepless nights, dream all days away
Don’t talk, there’s no compassion
Malicious thoughts and suspicious minds
So now, can you hear me?
And now, can you still feel me?
Undone, unaware, lazy
Hide and seek is the game that we play
Me, I’m walking in circles
I’m involved in a mystery
Now hear me out
So now, can you hear me?
and now, can you still feel me?
*****
Want
I want to move
I want to groove like you
It’s when we talk
The wisdom walks with us
Why can’t I work at ease like everybody else can?
Do shoppings of my own, on my own time
Does the body rule the mind?
I watch the way the wind blows
I’m looking for something I won’t find
I’ve travelled far
Hell and high water
Cursed God above
I thought my time was near
My sheets are old and dirty
I try to make the bed
Of my own life
I want to live at ease like everybody else does
Do shoppings of my own, on my own time
Does the body rule the mind?
I watch the way the wind blows
I’m looking for something I won’t find
*****
Illusions
I show you illusions
You show me the truth
Full of fear and intention
We talk and walk the streets
I feel your hand slip away
It’s more than you say
So tell me who is behind the confusion
I don’t know what’s the game we play
Everytime when I reach your home
I hope not, to stumble
I hope to, to be born again
Right from the start I stand in the dark
I’m trying not to fall, to fall down
I stand in your doorway
It’s something new
You’ve got be joking
If you think that I’m okay
I’m starting to wonder if you
Saw things in my way
These nights can be frightening
Life can be vague, who is to blame
Everytime when I reach your home
I hope not, to stumble
Now is time to read the signs
Light shines bright on your door bell
Right from the start I stand in the dark
I’m trying not to fall, to fall down
Everytime when I reach your home
I hope not, to stumble
Now is time to read the signs
Light shines bright on your door bell
I hope to, to be born again
*****
Like A Breath
Snowflakes falling through the night
They fade away before they land
On the edge of dawn I stay
Heaven is arm apart
You who have reached deep within my soul
You’re wandering through my life like a breath
Once more I lonely raise my arms
To you, to whom I flee, to whom I flee
You who have reached deep within my soul
You’re wandering through my life like a breath
You who have reached deep within my soul
For your grace this feeble hymn will praise

ALBUM: FOR ALL AND NONE
On a Hill
In the land of grand delusion
I’m standing on a hill
I can see for miles and miles
Light is leaving the scene
There are some pleasant places
Blanketed with cool mist
The last dim light leads my way
Down to distant plains
Wind in my face, the sun shines in my hands
Stars at my feet, the river runs faster
Heavy horses carrying
All across tormentend land
The queer is now dear to me
The night is beautiful
The stars above glow so bright
They draw us into space and time
Like ancient marble gods
They watch us peacefully
Wind in my face, the sun shines in my hands
Stars at my feet, the river runs faster
Throughout the ages and floats on the breeze
Across the sea, a shimmer of flood tide
Morning comes with golden hue
Warms the limbs of naked land
And I’m trying so hard to look
Straight into the sun
Wind in my face, the sun shines in my hands
Stars at my feet, the river runs faster
Throughout the ages and floats on the breeze
Across the sea, a shimmer of flood tide
*****
Away to Harbourside
Shapless afternoon
Tearful eyes from wind and cold
Standing lost in tranquil thought
in front of a shopwindow
Red lights in the snowy street
below the trees turn green
Away to harbourside
You have faith in nights
concrete and lights
But no one will know
Buildings yearn so high
move all the way around
Fleeting sensations
Soulles and cold
Waves of the past fade deep into dark
Stillness of existence
flowing through the walls
Morbid souls trembling
Pigeons shake their wings
Plateglass faces, traffic lanes
struggling up the street
Away to harbourside
You have faith in nights
concrete and lights
But no one will know
Buildings yearn so high
move all the way around
Fleeting sensations
Soulles and cold
Waves of the past fade deep into dark
Fleeting sensations
*****
Overtaken
I climb up the mountain of primeval pain
Ravines and ridges and what do I, what do I find
Oh, sombre evergreen the season of interior year
Oh, generations keep blossoming and withering
Over, overtaken
I’m looking backwards down at the world
Breath changing into words then back to breath
Oh, even higher up, stars of the land of pain
Oh, constellations glow brightly as lines on my palm
Over, overtaken
Oh, what a winding trace, pines claw my face
Oh, I can feel the wind rising, at dawn, I will fly
Over, overtaken
*****
True As A Dream
Do what you want to, I do what I just want to do
Too young for what’s old, too old for what’s never been
What do I desire is something you want me to see
Again and again you’re sending me signals to read
You the sweetest friend, walk with, walk with me
Do what you want to, I do what I just want to do
And if you are the dreamer then I will be all what you dream
Deep in the water and surfing the waves with a wind
And in all its power a realm of all motions unseen
You the sweetest friend swim with, swim with me
We can do what we want to, we do what we just want to do
What we’ll do in the summer is something you already knew
We go through the mirror making the dreams of night true
We are full and we cover the air, this planet, this moon
You the sweetest friend breathing, breathing in
*****
Here I Stand
I held myself too open
It made me feel I’m dirt
And I lingered in my weakness
I freed myself from giving
I freed myself from work, stayed alone
Here I stand
I start to feel an emotion
It walks me through the empty places
Drawn at a moment’s impulse
There’s no right nor wrong
I sit back and gaze in wonder
I can see a path and a picture
Frames are growing into cosmic space
Here I stand
I start to feel an emotion
It walks me through the empty places
*****
The Last Time
Frightful to my senses are
Spitting holes and gurgling throats
Curse you, evil eyes
I keep running, where do I run?
Fades away, comes back again
Leaves me feeling bleak and frail
There’s no easy way
All the symptoms seem to say
And I will…
Sharp tongues like razor blades
Voracious bodies seek the prey
Why am I drawn to this?
Do I jump in the waves?
Fades away, comes back again
Leaves me feeling bleak and frail
There’s no easy way
All the symptoms seem to say
Hopes come out at night
If only I don’t suffocate
The last time, this is the last time
and then I’m out of this place
Fades away, comes back again
Leaves me feeling bleak and frail
There’s no easy way
All the symptoms seem to say
And I will forget you
I’ll drown you
*****
Lucid Sound
Oh don’t be sad, I know it’s bad to be alone again
No, don’t think that you’re going mad
You’re quite sane my friend
None remembers your name
And a winter night never seem to end
Even in that silence with growing light, lucid sound appears
Summer’s ease is a waking dream, colours fade to gray
Though it seems that you go by feel
You will find your way
None remembers your name
And a winter night never seem to end
Even in that silence with growing light, lucid sound appears

The Walk
In the heat of the morning sun
He sits down by a dark pine tree
It moves and creaks and speaks to him
So sweet and low from the deep
“You wanderer, you must walk
Winding vales and great hills
Deers carry you, if you fall,
Without fear and trembling”
High upon a cold and windy hill
A vulture screams and lands from the clouds
It moves its wings and speaks to him
Its piercing voice wakes him from his dream
“You wanderer, you must walk
Murky woods and marshes
Pass through the night, don’t look back
And never stand still”
He marches on, never rests
Not knowing where his path will lead
Winding vales and great hills
Never looking backwards
*****
Summer’s Day
Late summer’s day we met, Melancholie
It was supposed to be so sweet
You looked me in the eye directly
The worn out sun set over me
Ever since you’ve been my friend
Cool summer breeze on my face
Come over here and sit beside me by the birch tree
Dragonflies breeding
Feel the last scent of the roses
A partner in my sorrow’s mysteries
Veiled in beauty and lilies
The end of the day will come too drowsily
Time’s release is a memory
Ever since you’ve been my friend
Cool summer breeze on my face
Come over here and sit beside me by the birch tree
Dragonflies breeding
Feel the last scent of the roses
In a dream they came for me
I woke up shivering
Ever since you’ve been my friend
Cool summer breeze on my face
Come over here and sit beside me by the birch tree
Dragonflies breeding
Feel the last scent of the roses
