2. 14

Dark and hollow
freezing as ice
eternity
of emptiness

After long years of waiting
emptiness arrives
now she is the only one here
she has no death or birth

How do you change emptiness
how do you change what doesn't exist
and whatewer it's bigger and bigger
pretty she soon will be the only one left

Clouds float in the sky
rivers fall into oceans
day switches night

Seasons substitute each other
autumn leaves and winter comes
and it snows

Maybe some day things will be different
emptiness will stay away
or it will disappear

But now there is only
gray cold skies on high
and it snowing

3. The Autumn People

They come from nowhere and go nowhere
when our dreams become defenseless
they're ignited our meanness
their path lies here and there

Through the autumn and the rain
through the torrents and cold
you can see their shadows
you can hear their silent voice

Mingled with the rain's noise

They come from nowhere and go nowhere
when the weary leaves turn into yellow
they will appear, stealing quiet near
when the rain again is here

Eternal wandering through the rain
it's calling us so loud
would you like to join them
to join the shadows' crowd

Till december comes out

4. Insomnia

Sleep
so may be you won't hear
the call of carnival
close your window
turn off the light
sleep
like a young boy out of fear
running like the leaves
down the sidewalk autumn night

Sleep
so maybe you won't feel
the air is blowing cold
the dead don't fear
to take a chill
sleep
the autumn still is young
as you are growing old
with a turn of the furious wheel

The autumn is coming
bringing sorrow and grey
the autumn is coming
always here to stay
the wails of a lifetime
are all gathered in it
the shadows are rustling
can you feel yourself caught in this trap

Sleep
slumbers crawl
fast
slow
like the river flow

Wait
till the dreams will come
wrap you up and arm
like the autumn shade

The dark isn't far
stay here as you are
try not to think

You had to run
with a night like this
so the sadness could not hurt

Dream on

5. Moving Crosscurrent Of Time

You'll never understand
you'll never come close
to seeing this place
where clouds float by endlessly
with silent and morbid grace

A place only I can find
where memories come alive
and nobody ever leaves
and nobody ever dies

You'll never come to realize
you won't find yourself there
don't try the attempts will nothing amend
this place you could stay till the end

Disappear forever and never come back
lost in the labyrinth of tracks
where the wind makes yellow leaves dance
where time is asleep locked in a trance

Where the dark alleys continue forever
and the treetops prop up the sky
the bottomless lakes the ghost inhabit
in the meadows lie

Where the moon shivers in torn clouds
where bitter black wind torments lost souls
turning the tide of time
leaving them behind

Wind carries the leaves towards
the hole in the blackened sky
over the treetops
departs and is born anew

Raindrops splatter on the window
of the room where you're asleep
in the deep end of your dream
you greet me as I'm coming back

In emptiness and utter devastation
the autumn people sprout forth
this secret place is my destination
something I struggle towards

Where my memories come alive
where my dreams of the past come true
ages ago the forest was gold
and skies over my head were blue

6. The Outcome (Admit One)

The ace of hearts here that is in the end
I see the sky by eyes who has been killed
and all these stars a wave of someone's hand
scattered in whirlpools of fields

They are so close it seems a hand to stretch
water is black and cold the sleeves are white
heavenly wanderer will point the only way
will tell me true words from another side

Don't I sink like swimmer loosing ways
in the ocean of these senseless days
it seems to me that someone spoke but when
something wicked this way comes again

The whitish ligature of misty sadness spreads
melancholy will spill the ice of lake
I can't forget the honey of rye breads
and salty sorrow of your easter cake

And once again at last to hear stay
before I force landscapes to disappear
heavenly wanderer will point the lonely way
so do not cry I'm coming sky is near

Somewhere in the clouds the dust witch your trace is lost
Lightnings stomps the sparks from hot earth creeps for the host

7. Outro

It's all as if the rain's pouring down
gray mists will rest upon the longing eyes
as if one's waiting for the spring
that November will bring

And one can't hear the footsteps behind
and silent door won't shut
it's all as if a tranquil flood carries you away from the empty towns

Where the wind chases about
fragments of things unsaid

Where along the rainy paths
autumn continues along on its way
