2. Part Two: The Carrier Of Sorrow Transforms
3. And Pray For Me
4. The World Of No Worlds
1. Part One: The Black And White Was Meant For Nothing
THE SHADOWS MEANT FOR ALL
Where do I then belong?
Hail Thee; my brother;
My angel of nothing and all
Why did you welcome your own kin;
Spawn of the ultimate sin
If not with you; where do I then belong?
And even the kingdom of death
Rejected my existence
As a human being
Neither was I to be welcomed
Among Gods nor Angels
I am walking around
In life itself
But as my eyes meet reality
All I can see is death mingled
With misery; And I still walk
Reveal your care
Hear my final prayer;
My darkest call
Confirm to me and for all
Where do I then belong?
The feet of mine
Can no longer walk towards Thine
So my dearest brother; I beg you
To walk, at last, my steps for me
And guide me back to Thee
2. Part Two: The Carrier Of Sorrow Transforms
The sand was made of mountains
Hvorfor formNrket du mitt mNrke;
Hvorfor Mnrkner det I meg?
As I shalt write
Your name in the sand
My own land
Will fade too late
And where do I then hide
The sand was meant
For nothing
The moonlight meant
For all
But resentful too
Giving my betrayal to you
The sand was made
OF mountains
The clouds belonged
To the sky
And grateful too
Having received wisdom
From you
Drops of rain covered me
And I finally become wet
Tears are dripping from me now
Down to the father of men
And you; my fellow angel;
Can inhale the spirits of no
Age and origin
Again...
And as she felt the rain; she died;
She died again; and she died even once more.
And they shalt be reborn
From where they were forlorn
With the power to destroy
Everything standing in their way
3. And Pray For Me
I am born
But still not living
And pray for her
When her soul descends
Living the life
Known to mankind
And pray for her
When gloom moves into mourning
Born out of darkness
And sculptured into the shape of
brightness
And pray for her
When the blood of hers reveals
I was set to be
The carrier of Sorrow
And pray for her
When demurity is forced away
Which cluster me into a world
Of specimens for me unknown
And pray for her
When nature betrays her again
I am one of natures mistakes
Not only born decades to late
And pray for her
When you shalt be forced to see
The image of her creation
But not able to survive
Born and killed at the same tide
And pray for me once more
Merely because she was made into
Me...
4. The World Of No Worlds
When I opened my eyes
I could again device
The way I saw when I was;
But I was not yet born
The time of my arise
Was the sunset
And as men was thrown at me
The eclipse became the eye of mine
The eclipse of men caught me
Inside a human pestered earth
Father earth; Holy mother;
Save me from the land of loneliness
And return to me the divined
Gift of solitude
And as men was thrown at me
The eclipse became the eye of mine
I was not able to see the dark
Because of the darkness
While chaos of emptiness
Tormented the voices of silence
And as I fought the voices of time
A crow finally
Revealed before me
A crow finally
Revealed before me
Yet as my eyes fought back the dark
The darkness came to me
The home of men exploded;
The sun fell
And the shadow of Thee
Finally embraced me
The world of no worlds
Was again mine to be
