Eclipse of the Moon (MP3 6,62MB)

Die Gedankenwelt und Selbstzweifel von Morgain Le Fay...

I was prepared for this my whole life
I´ve got no chance to refuse at this time
I´ve never dreamed about such damned destiny
But that´s the way like she writes history

Chorus:
In the night at the shadows of the dark
Nobody heard my crying
In the night at the shadows of the dark
our hearts were fighting
- while the eclipse of the moon –

She knew I´d hate her but I think that she won´t care
Although she loves me her ways are not always fair
Oh little brother please forget about me
The way you love is just illusion, I can see

Bubble Bubble Bubble (By Martin) ;-)

Chorus:
In the night at the shadows of the dark
Nobody heard my crying
In the night at the shadows of the dark
our hearts were fighting
- while the eclipse of the moon –

 

Tournament (MP3 6,45MB)

Morgain muss ihren Sohn Mordred in diesem "Turnier" besiegen,
um Avalon zu schützen...

Look at my face and tell me what do you see
Can´t you see your incarnate mother in me
I know it was my fault ; I´ve left you alone
But do not forget where you are at home

Chorus:
Love and hate that we send
It´s our own
TOURNAMENT

Peace and war becoming a lent
All include to our
TOURNAMENT

Life is a game, can we win it at all
No one could beat it ; We are all damned to crawl
Our virtue is unreal, our strength is in vain
But our belief is safe to be sane

Chorus:
Love and hate that we send
It´s our own
TOURNAMENT

Peace and war becoming a lent
All include to our
TOURNAMENT

 

The Final Battle

Der letzte Kampf zwischen Artus und seinem Sohn Mordred...

Our swords are fast, our shields are strong, God's on our side
I owe that to my people empire and pride
I have the greatest power but here I can only lose
And I can't turn around now

So many years have passed when all the reign was mine
The time was long when I was able to hold the line
I stand alone here and I still have oh so much to lose
But there's no way back now

Most of my friends are gone, they gave their lives for me
They rest in peace - my fighters' virtuous souls are free
With heaven's help and magic's ruse still have got a chance
This is my final battle

Chorus:
I'll break under this burden this desparation
Goes far beyond the earthly pain I was to know yet
But I have no choice now, there's only this way
My son, I see in your eyes, there's only grudge and hatred

My heart grew cold, my soul became dark as the night
I've won so many, but this is my hardest fight
You are my flesh and blood, you are my greatest enemy
And I can't turn around now

My darkest hour ever and my darkest war
And now I know what this - the darkest hour - is for
This is my fate - it'll be my end - and also you're to die
And there's no way back now

I don't fear death, I fear to die by your own hand
I fear to lose defence for me and for my land
I won't give up when still one sparkle of strength's within me
This is my final battle

Chorus:
I'll break under this burden this desparation
Goes far beyond the earthly pain I was to know yet
But I have no choice now, there's only this way
My son, I see in your eyes, there's only grudge and hatred

 

A Knight's Fate

Lancelot und seine verbotene Liebe...

It was king Arthur who said “My friend, I love you more than anything!
You’re my defence, my cousin, my daylight!”
Like a brother he treats me; he´s the best king I´ve ever known.
He gives me his trust and now I have to live in shame.

Oh, someone please tell me, what this life's worth for me,
Without having my own belief, without her by my side.

Chorus:
She´s my heart, my lover, my princess.
But she´s the wife of the king, my best.
We both know that I have to go
Far away from Camelot.

Oh my heart, I know it´s the hardest war
I´ve ever had to fight alone for Britain for my king.
So there is no other way
Have to leave all I´ve ever loved.

“God will be my judge!”, she says,
“My love, don´t stop to pray”.

Chorus:
She´s my heart, my lover, my princess.
But she´s the wife of the king, my best.
We both know that I have to go
Far away from Camelot.

 

Calling the Mist (MP3 5,27MB live von Waffenknecht)

Avalon ist verloren, Morgain bleibt nur die Hoffnung,
dass der "Gott der Christen" die Menschheit nicht im Stich lässt...

Night and day I hear myself say
That nothing is right
Nothing is wrong
Everything is a lie

Who knows what´s real
Just he, who feels
The power of honour
When love is getting stronger
Than his own belief

Maybe it´s really God I see
When I look in his eyes
When I hear his voice
´cause it´s free of lies

He is better than me
Just too blind to see
Or isn´t he…
Or isn´t he…

Brother I´ll tell you a secret now
You have to know the truth somehow
Your wife isn´t able to get a child
But listen:
You have already a son by your side

I don´t wanna see that Avalon will soon be history
Like the Lady Of The Sea it will drown
Oh God tell me then: Will you be there for them?
Tell me that you´re not only a dream!

I don´t wanna see that Avalon will soon be history
Like the Lady Of The Sea it will drown
Oh God tell me then: Will you be there for them?
Tell me that you´re not only a dream!

 

King Arthur's Court

Instrumental

 

The Quest for the Grail

Die ewige Suche...

Through the desert for so many years I’ve roamed
So many mountains I have climbed upon
Can’t walk no more
My eyes are burnt
My feet are sore
But I know
There’s no way back until my quest is done

Once to raise my eyes to heaven I would fain
To finally find I didn’t try in vain
This joy is meant
Just for the pure
The innocent
Not for me
My self is lost and yet my sins remain

More than I love you I adore you
And for love I gave my life up for you
Now my love, my life, there’s nothing more to
And I watch my tears drying on my hands

You and my home are far away now
Out of reach is what I want to gain, so
This desert’s the place where I just should stay and
Sit and listen to the sighing of the sands

 

Helpless (live MP3 1,98MB)

Weltschmerz, Hilflosigkeit, Verzweiflung...

Why do we feel this emptiness
In a world which is full of us
Too litlle wisdom, too much pain
All our fighting, it's all in vain

Whoever knows solutions - speak!
We are helpless, we are too weak

Everyone worries, but no one cares
Eyes are closed for the other's fears
What can we say? What can we do?
It's safer if we won't go through

Whoever is wise enough
To find an answer for all of us

Chorus:
We are so helpless
We are so weak
We are so guilty
There's no one on this earth who can change it

Thousands of years we've been waiting
More and more our hope is fading
A wonder is not yet known
Cause there's no one to calm the storm

Whoever is wise enough
To find an answer for all of us

Chorus:
We are so helpless
We are so weak
We are so guilty
There's no one on this earth who can change it

 

Journeyman (live MP3 4,06MB, Proberaum MP3 4,06MB)

Das raue aber freie Leben eines Gesellen auf Wanderschaft...

Another day, another town, a new task at hand
His tools are restless at his belt
The season calls and the river flows
And no-one can say where the journeyman goes

The hammer strikes the rafter, sweat runs down his face
The landlord shakes his master's hand
A fistful of silver, a bottle for the road
The wilderness is calling him home

No hand is waving him goodbye
No fire's burning in the night
The rain is falling and a cold wind blows
And no-one can say where the journeyman goes

Solo

A life spent in freedom without fame
The cross on his grave bears no name
Then darkness falls and no starlight glows
And no-one can say where the journeyman goes

 

Winter's Tale (live MP3 6,61MB)

Dunkle Erinnerungen, die Suche nach Erlösung...

I know you remember well
these dark and cold times when the world
left a trail of mournful sights
Mystical legends spread over your land
you could not dare to doubt these tales
trust in the silence of these days

For you have promised even in death
to watch out for the winter's breath
though all hope seemed to fade away
And still the darkness holds your mind
imprisoned in your memories
try to forget and rest in peace

Ref:
Where you may wander in tranquil gardens
where you might find some peace again
the years pass by, but wounds remain
so come and forget this winter tale

Come and rest under yonder tree
he covers you with peaceful dreams
in my lap memories won't remain
so come and forget this winter tale


Your grave now lies beyond the snow
but inside is a burning soul
all your weapons put them away
you've been tired of despair
don't hold on to your fear
when there's now more winter in here

Ref.

 

Mad One (Coverversion von Lorien)

Der Niedergang eines finsteren Gottes...

Out of the darkness the mad one returned
Once pleasant cities now fallen and burned
He and his legions, the spawn of the night
Raged through the lands, prepared for the fight

Right in these days of fear and despair
A small band of heroes set out for his lair
Ordinary people like me and you
The worst of their nightmares, it all came true

Chorus:
They know what they fight for, they know where the stand
Fighting for freedom, not knowing where it ends
The dark lord, he screams: “They won’t have a chance!”
But they keep their dreams, it lies in their hands

Travelling through time and travelling through space
More than one time they met death face to face
But shielded by power they didn’t understand
They finally reached the horrifying lands

In the battle that followed some lost their lives
They never returned to their children and wives
But Tarjan was slain at last
Survivors few left this place fast

Chorus:
They know what they fight for, they know where the stand
Fighting for freedom, not knowing where it ends
The dark lord, he screams: “They won’t have a chance!”
But they keep their dreams, it lies in their hands

 

Ice

Verlorene Liebe...

Words of love turned out to be lies
In my heart that felt like a blank knife
And my tears cut my face like ice
I will keep this pain for my whole life

There’s no use in trying to undo
What you’ve done or start our love anew
It’s a thing that I will get through
In my life there’s no room for you

Chorus:
Please don’t
Come back
There’s nothing you can ever do
I won’t
Regret
That I have broken up with you
The lies
You told
Make everything you say untrue
I’m ice
I’m cold
I neither want your love nor you

In my heart my love for you will stay
But I hope that you will keep away

After all, it’s easier, you see
Though my heart is broken I am free
All alone is what I want to be
So please say you won’t return to me

Chorus:
Please don’t
Come back
There’s nothing you can ever do
I won’t
Regret
That I have broken up with you
The lies
You told
Make everything you say untrue
I’m ice
I’m cold
I neither want your love nor you

You have gone away and although I know
Through the night I send a prayer
To a star that died many years ago
Let my love though it’s dead shine there

Chorus:
Please don’t
Come back
There’s nothing you can ever do
I won’t
Regret
That I have broken up with you
The lies
You told
Make everything you say untrue
I’m ice
I’m cold
I neither want your love nor you

 

En nordmans begravning

Das Begräbnis eines Nordmanns

Each breath you take is now a vast feat
Already you don’t hear your heart beat
You don’t know: Will this be your last strike?
Is it the first one in anoth’r fight?

You feel the cold you felt so many nights before:
The battle’s over and you don’t know where to go
You left for foray, now you’re far away from home.
But you are sure that this night you will feel the warmth
Of fire in the warrior’s hall.

Your eyes are getting dark and through the settling haze
You don’t see whom you bludgeon, whom you slay
The faces of your foes ‘r’ becoming blurred and vague
There is one thing you know for sure although they fade:
Their skulls you’re going to see again

Your blade is swift, your eyes are keen, your arms are strong
For age and weakness you have never spared a thought
Now what will be then shall not worry you no more
Among the singing of the swords you hear the call
For battle ever going on

In dying standing tall and fighting you delight
Like every warrior invincible and blithe
You glory in the thought that you will leave behind
This mortal coil and pass into the endless time
Of bravery tonight

 

A Winter Walk

Gedanken während eines Winterspaziergangs...

One winter night I walked alone
Through drifting flakes of falling snow
So charming, fragile and unique
Tumbling through the wintry cold
Like crystal dreams and crystal hopes
You cannot catch and cannot keep

They fall down to a mirror lake
On thick ice that they will not melt
Like they don’t touch a silver soul
Though it may call no sound does break
The silence of the night’s embrace
What you can’t hear you will not know

Among the snow lie rotting leaves
Still hanging on to memories
Of life that incessantly fade
Beneath the frozen shades of trees
I seek refuge from icy breeze
Of destiny you can’t escape

Chorus:
And yet when you walk next to me
Comforted and beloved I feel
And yet when you are here with me
No cold no loneliness I fear

 

Pilgrimage

Eine verzweifelte Seele, die sich auf der Suche nach sich selbst verirrt...

Abandoned my home, abandoned my kin
Exiled from a life not worth living

Chorus:
And the rain on my face leads me onward
On my lonely path of misery
And the rain on my face is my only companion
On my way to Hell

Burning the bridges behind me
Finding the demons inside me

Chorus:
And the rain on my face leads me onward
On my lonely path of misery
And the rain on my face is my only companion
On my way to Hell
And the rain on my face leads me onward
On my lonely path of misery
And the rain on my face is my only companion
On my way to Hell
