1. Les Arcs Noires

Hush, my child, and trust the guidance of my words, the soothing of my thoughts.
The shadows grow tall and the road's too long to walk, so we'll fly
Dry your tears and ease your swollen eyes, 'cause the grief we'll leave behind
As we float through the open bedroom window.
And after a last look down, we're off...

From the mountain top I heard you sing, and when from the valley
The echo returned your tears still flowed like a gentle rain in spring (and the feeling burned).
Like a pyre of leaves caught up in flames, like an inner yearning for a long lost daze,
a loss of words in a newfound song, the soothing, the guidance, they are all gone...

Remember the last stroke through your hair just before you died
the kiss on the cheek and the solemn words of goodbye
Remember drifting away and leaving yourself behind
and me, guiding you by the hand, into the comfortable sleep
of the last winter's night...

Memories have faded, fears have been kissed away
but the pain sadly remained and stayed for another day

From the mountain top I heard you sing, and when from the valley
The echo returned your tears still flowed like a gentle rain in spring (and the feeling burned).
Like a pyre of leaves caught up in flames, like an inner yearning for a long lost daze,
a loss of words in a newfound song, the soothing, the guidance, they are all gone...

Can you remember the last thought just before you died?
The kiss on the cheek and the bitter tears of goodbye
Remember the last sigh, leaving this world behind, and me
carrying you within my arms, into the comfortable sleep on your last winter's night.

Memories have faded, fears have been kissed away
but the pain sadly remained and stayed for another day

Hush, my child, and trust the comfort of heaven's wings, the touch of my hands.
And sleep the sleep of ages, dream the dream of life, and leave your fears behind...
Because we've flown passed the veil of the Northern Lights, and you're almost home...

2. Frost

I lay myself asleep, into a daydream of cold frost.
To forgotten landscapes of love under the haze of dust.
And as I drift through myself, searching for a light.
To keep me warm, to feel embraced, to hold me tight.

In search of what I'll never find.
In search of what's forever lost.
In loneliness I'll be with a heart under deep cold frost.

In this labyrinth of failures, my blood runs cold.
This neverending inferno, my quest unsolved.
I searched far what seemed so near.
The dream comes true in my deepest fear.

But my sight is troubled, I cannot see anymore.
When my heart is frozen, frozen to the core.

A display of corrossion, in my eyes they cannot see.
Forever wandering, until I find myself in me.

In case I will never find, to see that I'm forever lost.
Another search for freedom has cost my circle's trust.
Spiral movements up and down.
The higher I climb, the deeper I fall.

In case of sunshine, I cannot see anymore.
Cause my heart is frozen to the core.

3. Angel For A Better Day

Feel the fire from behind my eyes.
See the pain still burn me up inside.

Open the book now that it's closed, and read the words that I once sought
Cause here's all forgotten and all forgotten is regained.

Are you still afraid of what the mourning might bring.

I hear the whispers in the woods.
The voices among the trees.
I touch my spirit in her shadow
And taste the breeze upon my lips.

Let me dream, where the angels dream.
Let me sleep, where the Gods sleep.
Awaken me in your loving embrace.
To walk within our land of dreams.
A kiss on Mid-summer's eve, a smile in a crowd.
A touch in the rain, a desperate cry outloud.
An embrace in heaven, a song, a tear.
A sigh, and the memory of years.

The book is closed, the words read, and yet the story echoes in my head.
Cause there I see her smile, and feel her touch.
There I'll be in the company of Gods
And I'll start my travel to my angel dark.
To a world within a world, heaven a thought.

4. Autumn

Alone and imprisoned in myself
I watch the fall of summer's light dance within myself
I cross endless fields and endless woods to be with you again
to see you. to feel you, to ease the pain.

Richer than a thousand kings, poorer than the poorest man, I'll wait here for you.
And despite the sparrow's last song in the night's dark descend
I still hear your echo trail off through the trees.

Your caress reminded me of a summer's touch, an autumn breeze, of first spring rain.
Your eyes stained from the argument we had that day.
Still I remember my cold fingers softly running through your vale hair when angels arrived to lead you away.

Richer than a thousand kings, poorer than the poorest man, I'll wait here for you.
And despite the sparrow's last song in the night's dark descend
I still hear your echo trail off through the trees.

Your photo lying next to me, your smile recalling memories
of "forever" times, times forever gone.
Will this pain ever go away?

See the first snow-flakes falling, another year has passed.
Another Christmas without you, another night without rest.
My world in a tear so small, yours an universe so wide,
yet we shall not be together again until the day I...
Confess my love eternal, and this winter falls apart.
Just another autumn breeze...

5. By Reflections Embraced

...And you were there.
I felt your presence before, the blue glimmer appeared.
It's been a long time since we met, it's still the same I always feared.

Nothing has changed since.
I cherish the same black thoughts, the same black space.
Your blindness opened my bleeding eyes, and turned my precious love to age.

And you were there at the wrong moment in my domain.
Where I became stronger, where existence lasts longer, where all vain turned to gain.

Nothing has changed since.
Still the day rises, still the night falls.
Your silence opened my bleeding eyes, and turned my precious love to age.

A mindstorm of several emotions has reached the point of no return.
I'm on my way towards another within me.
Now I've become a reflection of yours, your consolation for my bleeding eyes.

Your poisoned rose that cuts through your veins drags me to the darkness inside.
From this untameable hunger I cannot run, I cannot hide, but inside.

Until we meet again.
Can you face the one I am now I've become a reflection of yours?
A mirror-image of consolation.
...And still my bleeding eyes see...

6. Alice

оригинал: The Sisters Of Mercy

Alice pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers crawl and
Crush the petals on the floor

Alice in her party dress
She thanks you kindly
So serene
She needs you like she needs her tranqs
To tell her that the world is clean
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Pass the crystal spread the Tarot
In illusion comfort lies
The safest way the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise

Alice in her party dressed to kill
She thanks you turns away
She needs you like she needs needs her pills
To tell her that the world's okay
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Alice
Don't give it away

7. Eden Ever After

I wear the day like my hidden wings.
Keep the sun as my guide, the light blinding my eyes
I taste the dew as salty as mourning tears
Would somebody please tell me where Eden lies?
Hear the angels sing, yet the day seemed calm
Fate abandoned me, only the dark keeps me warm.

Though I searched for guidance in their heavenly song
I couldn't find none, I couldn't find none...

I wear the night like a black velvet cloak
Keep the moon as my guide, the stars as my eyes
I smell the earth as my after-day burns cold
Still no one wants to tell me where Eden lies
I've searched the four corners of this world apart
Travelled countless miles to find the land God's

Even stone I have turned, many horizons I have passed
Yet Eden's garden lies obscured, Eden lies obscured....

And black turned to white, yet the dawn stayed grey
Time abandoned me, but still I stayed...
I swayed... Though I searched fot fragments of light on that dark day
I couldn't find none, I couldn't find none...
Let me stay in Eden fever after, let me sway with the sun
Where loss turns to everlasting laughter, and all the sorrows seem to be gone
Tears of crimson red drown the pain to a smothered cry on a Sunday...

...afternoon.
As a soft summer's rain paints the world a darker shade of grey
Salvation will come soon...

8. Passing In Reverse

Yesterday has left us with what we know.
Tomorrow is on its way, it has yet to show.
Before the light of dawn will awake our sleepwalking souls,
let me lose myself in you... again...
And if tomorrow will ever come and tears us apart,
will you keep me within your heart until it all ends in silence.

Even though the answers to your questions never came
your feelings left unanswered, they still remain the same.
As blind as love, the glimpse of hope.
You're trying to hold on.
Do you know where to go from here?
Do you know where I belong?

Sigh for the silence of night where you can think aloud.
So no one will hear your prayers for some freedom inside.
I feel torn in all directions.
I feel worn of all afflictions.
I'm walking, footsteps passing in reverse.
Now you seem so far as angels can fly.

When our moans become screams, have I shown enough of what it seems, to me
Will you ever find some direction on the way of changing your ways?

Will you wish for the passing in reverse,
when the last words are spoken and the damage is done?
Will you try to dry your tears in the rain, when the promise is broken?

It seems like you're looking for someone or something to feed your needs.
Do you need some more of the life you felt when our time stood still and you got carried away,
by the hazy days you sometimes recall.
To bring them back to life, and I will.

Sigh for the silence of night where you can think aloud.
So no one will hear your prayers for some freedom inside.
I feel torn in all directions.
I feel worn of all afflictions.
I'm walking, footsteps passing in reverse.
Now you seem so far as angels can fly.

Imagine one love and a bleeding heart.
Remember one love and see our world,
go round and round, we're spinning, twisting upside down.
We fall along the morning rain, the heavens weep.
We feel the earth shake beneath our feet as we walk the thin line between harmony and struggle.
We walk the thin line between love and despair.
Let's walk the thin line one more time, my love is passing in reverse, as far as angels will fly...
My heart bleeds, your heart beats, beats me away.
