Doomed
Anna
1. Your Highness The Chaos
[feat. Markus Hartung of Panzerkreuzer]I'm the howl inside your veins
force which frees you from your chains
inhale his last breath out – feel me
chaos – highness – majesty
listen – all your unborn thoughts are my words
voices – the vanguards of a new world
leaves – I'm the deep sough in your blood
your highness – chaos – king and god
you know me – but never knew
that I've always grown in you
give me your light and let me devour
all your doubts – let taste me your sorrow
the sunrise regrets another childhoods dead
look – this mirrors unseen face
now let your senses find their ways
hide the being a child in haze
frowning are your eyes – yet ablaze
the time is frozen in your hand
behind this door is reality – now you can try to withstand
all that comes from deep inside
trust in my – become my bride
look at me – you know who I am
return back to where it all began
leave yourself – become a tree
a guardian of the majesty
ligneous – as the lungs that we sowed
branches – the bark begins to grow
bony – like all our arms and feet
your highness – chaos – king – the seed
2. Anna
how many times have you cared for me
all your worries you trust me
each of my leaves bear a sliver of your soul
I want you to guard you forever
sincerity – love and caring
all your secrets
you should be strong and never be broken
what we have will never taken from us
just give me your hands
I'll give all my branches to you
let us become one
it's not only my voices calling to you
they'll try to cheat you
they will try to cheat – they will try it
changed – the sunset wearing grotesque clothes
bloodshot – the red of his glow is shrouded in fear
beware of the black ones – they are wicket
wicket they are
they want to break your will – but you have the bark
the farewell has begun
the shadows will eat the sun
you're small but the chosen child
your facade – it hides more behind
3. As The Thoughts Began To Be Tarnish
The noise of these voices
Some know where to go
What's coming is in their eyes
A disillusioning glow
The insistence of the gathered crowd
Shows nothing but the truth
The roar of this scorpions
You shall understand soon
It's time to internalize how threatening it is
The right to existence is blazing in flames
Depersonaized faces distorted by fear
The light turns turbid now – but you have to bear it
The fire of this surrealistic scenery
Is nourished as long as the panic prevails
The stench of the wooden planks - you know what it means
This train runs straight to a hell - child
Some of them lament the truth
Soon you will have lost all your senses
Do you see how weak the flesh is
If it has to withstand the loss and the mourning
Grace is given to you - branch
Don't lose the faith in yourself
Keep my leaf rich face in your mind
Look for a place to put down new roots
Wrath - as a tremendous thunderstorm
Time stands still
Let me be the cradle of your thoughts
Thou shalt be my sun
4. The Weeping Trees
[feat. Daniela Laube]So here you stand – the wolf eyed ghost
Separate ways – only seconds decide it
The black ones face is petrified
Solely one finger still reigns at this place
Don't look over - the trees are liars
They can not really absolve you from your guilt
Left – you should go – right – the moribund path
Now feel one last time the warmth of her blood
Blood – the blood of your mothers heart
It runs through your hands now
Now it is time to accept the gift
Grant the timber to pass through your white skin
One last song before the dark king receive them - alone
By weeping soaked trees
Your siblings – they wait
It's just the pain of your own despair
I know it's hard to see this faceless ones
But how strong is the will to survive
When everything is nothing but dust
And your first leaves have fallen -
Only then judge
Up in the sky – the birds – as souls which fly away
Now the crying has ceased – the smoke can't deny
It was not a lie
5. Withering Leaves
[feat. Kris Clayton of Camel Of Doom & Uwe Reinholz of Oak Ridge]the rising sun draws the mist back into the air
followed by the stench of the starved ones
the last withering leaves will now fall down from the trees
they have already resigned
soon the machinery is stopped and faced her end
but the beast eats until the downfall
mania – ornament of mankind
it's solely your race which delights in suffering
sin – a term but not a burden
the journey ends here
also my end is near
you are stronger than I thought
a spirit I can't hold
break away – I give you free – you're free
they can hear the thunder of the oncoming guns
it can't be undone – but they'll loose the crown
6. Roots Remain
[Instrumental]
7. The Frozen Wish
[feat. Ed Warby of Hail Of Bullets, Ayreon, The 11th Hour]truth seems like a child of blind faith
the dead inside – she scowls and rapes reality
the old eyes – cold
but the truth is just a slave of what we deny
this truth – the roots in deep mire
since eons sold
a wound in mind's desire
our own despair
she's lying in wait in our hands
but who decides when lying ends
mother betrayal
face of denial
impenetrable
nothing more than a frozen wish
the ice of clarity breaks
obscuring veins decline our fragile view
of what we pretend
the truth – this great illusion
say – who defines it
to recognize what's real or wrong
an uneven way – endlessly long
the truth – a frozen wish
8. This Deceptive Silence
[Digital Edition Bonus Track]
9. Remembrance
Liner notes:
“The concept album “ANNA” is another personal statement against political and religious fanaticism, the influencing, persecution and oppression of free thinking.
I detest the dullness of blind obedience, opportunism and the dead-hearted executing of commands.
But what Anna hears, sees and feels, is content. Her way is representative of thousands of lowbrow children of her time, also for uncountable war children of past, present and future periods - no matter what origin!
