Morast
Ancestral Void
1. Crescent
Oh, catch me you
torrential stream
Rolling through landscapes
Arcane & powerfull
Your unstoppable need
To reach the open sea
Oh, in the rapture
Of the father Rhine
Devour my attention
And feed your core with it
Serpentine, you slither
Restless, with the nightshades
Oh, inhaling this
Nighttime breeze
The stars above envy
Your graceful skin
The seasons wither...
And the crescent observes us with hungry eyes.
---------------------------------------------------
A gloomy veil
Surrounds us
The splendor
Of the dark sky
Caress a part of me
Smell the scent of
The wetlands
-----------------------------------------------------
A gloomy veil
Surrounds us
The splendor
Of the dark sky
Caress a part of me
Flow away into endless spheres
2. Forlorn
I´ll build a labyrinth
With walls of stone
To isolate myself
To find my path again
Stone by stone
Gapless and thick
No lights penetrate me
And no emotions pass through
,
this distance from everything
The inescapable truth of being forlorn
Ignore every feeling
That rests in me
Echoes from the past
Are the only sounds
And the drone of a
Distant gleam
I´ll grown toghether
With my agony
This fortress of stone
Becomes narrow from time to time
Hours become years
In this lifeless prison
Within these walls
Where no trees grow
Where a man starts to break
Beneath the cold white light
Oh, I´ll suppress every feeling
To extinguish all sorrow within me
Feeding my loneliness
With the crumbs of memories
They´ll start to fade
Like leaves in the late autumn
Starving and drained
I´m losing all colors in me
Watching myself drowning...
Like a ship in
The deep, wide sea
The opportunity rises
But what remains is unworthy
3. Ancestral Void
It’s cold outside and the dusk is near
Your eyes (have) lost their spark; we’ve passed the bottom line
Only silence left in these stormy times
When the wind turns north, so ruthless and cold
Stranded at the point of no return
"Entangled in time, we lost each other"
A last embrace after all this time...
"Hold me in your memories, remember me and smile"
The silence takes over and paralyzes us
"If there any words left to say, say them now"
Now i feel that the unavoidable end comes closer
The shock was deep
Even though I saw it coming
(I) close my eyes
And let the pressure go
Oh, the demise of an era
The pressure drifts away,
An immense gap remains...
Ancestral Void
Standing alone, the years may change but this remains.
Ancestral Void
When they reach her hands,
I hesitate and retreat again
The shock was deep
Even though I saw it coming
(I) close my eyes
And let the pressure go
There’s always this voice in the back of my mind
That says this time it will all be different,
Maybe the stars will align and there will be this magic moment…
But there’s always something, or someone in the way
4. Loss
It was some years ago but
The scar is still there
I suffer as I pass
The old harbor
This kind of loss
That kind of change
Let me feel pure darkness
In an unknown form
Regrets overwhelm me
And rip me apart
Still unable to see
Any sin in this...
Refuse to accept
Refuse to forget
Your pure simple warmth
Will forever be missed
I’ve been gasping for breath
And seeking saving grace
To climb up from the hole
Deep within my soul
The bitter taste
Of a loss like this
Burned itself into my
Mind
I was never ashamed
Of any single tear
No one ever told me
That grief felt like fear
Silence...
Only silence
Covered me
In moments like this...
Silence...
Only silence
Your Image
In my mind, will never fade...
And something in me is gone forever...
Just Give me this pain
That I’m used to
4 years from now,
but it won´t disappear
Once a year,
I get the chance to meet you
And to read your name
Carved into a lonely stone
Some pain lasts forever....
5. Compulsion
There is a secret
About me
A failure, a reflex
It corrupts me
I follow spinelessly,
predictable
Till I satiate my hunger
For this worthless act
Collecting every
little memory
As a reminder of my
Own inability
To let this urge go
Hiding this Secret like
a tresure of Gold
Hunting in places
For a sustained projection
For a whisper, for a moment’s security…
But it won’t last long
Shamefully, I promise it
Was the last time…
Dragged by
This boundless force
Falling into
My own deepest abyss
This what I feel and
This what I am
It’s never the same…
A slalom-run
Through alibis
6. Sakkryfyced
There was a time
When you could count the seconds
Until the sun went down
And disappeared from the sky
There was a time
Not long ago
The perfect escape
From this so-called life
I was invincible
Between the sheep
And undetected
Among the alleys
More than thousand hours
I’ve sacrificed
As in obligation
For a second home
But only in so long
As the moon stood high
Defined for me
An honest deception
A mistress for some hours
Nothing more than a pastime
But sometimes it was more like
Pure intoxication....
Hours dissolved into chalices
And a boy became a man...
The Mertensgasse
Never loses his magic spell
That was a time
Of plain perfection
Of blessed promises
Of endless nights
Looking back with
A slight grin
From time to time
An unknown urge
Guides me back
Listen to the words
That the lamppost speaks
Where the cobblestones alone
Pave my way back home
The glory of the alleys
Will stay eternally
