Running for her life The dark rain from her eyes still falls Breathtaking butterfly Chose a dark day to live Save one breath for me A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Why do I miss someone I never met, with bated breath I lay Seawinds brought her to me A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life And all the poetry in the world Finally makes sense to me Save one death for me A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Put to rest all that’s not life Drink for beauty and fill my blank page Sometimes a dream turns into a dream A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath

Baptised with a perfect name The doubting one by heart Alone without himself War between him and the day Need someone to blame In the end, little he can do alone You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart – the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Apart from the wandering pack In this brief flight of time we reach For the ones, whoever dare You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart – the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Reaching, searching for something untouched Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart – the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak

Finally the hills are without eyes They are tired of painting a dead man’s face red With their own blood They used to love having so much to lose Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don’t you see You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Jacob’s ghost for the girl in white Blindfold for the blind Dead siblings walking the dying earth Noose around a choking heart Eternity torn apart Slow toll now the funeral bells „I need to die to feel alive” Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don’t you see You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower But the flower that forsakes the tree Someday I’ll learn to love these scars Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words …How blind can you be, don’t you see… …that the gambler lost all he does not have… Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don’t you see You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful

I. White Lands Of Empathica The end. The songwriter’s dead. The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white lands Of Empathica Of Innocence Empathica Innocence II. Home The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell One last perfect verse Is still the same old song Oh Christ how I hate what I have become Take me home Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world My home was there ‚n then Those meadows of heaven Adventure-filled days One with every smiling face Please, no more words Thoughts from a severed head No more praise Tell me once my heart goes right Take me home Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world III. The Pacific Sparkle my scenery With turquoise waterfall With beauty underneath The Ever Free Tuck me in beneath the blue Beneath the pain, beneath the rain Goodnight kiss for a child in time Swaying blade my lullaby On the shore we sat and hoped Under the same pale moon Whose guiding light chose you Chose you all „I’m afraid. I’m so afraid. Being raped again, and again, and again I know I will die alone. But loved.” You live long enough to hear the sound of guns, long enough to find yourself screaming every night, long enough to see your friends betray you. For years I’ve been strapped unto this altar. Now I only have 3 minutes and counting. I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for. IV. Dark Passion Play 2nd robber to the right of Christ Cut in half – infanticide The world will rejoice today As the crows feast on the rotting poet Everyone must bury their own No pack to bury the heart of stone Now he’s home in hell, serves him well Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell The morning dawned, upon his altar Remains of the dark passion play Performed by his friends without shame Spitting on his grave as they came Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world „Today, in the year of our Lord 2005, Tuomas was called from the cares of the world. He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day. The music he wrote had too long been without silence.” He was found naked and dead, With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text. Save me V. Mother & Father Be still, my son You’re home Oh when did you become so cold? The blade will keep on descending All you need is to feel my love Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end I will always love you The beginning.

Still Spinning round in my head How I regret everything that I said Why did I tell you to go Saving my pride but losing my soul I’m here all alone Still wait by the phone The hours go by What else could I do but to cry I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night Lost In the dark and my fears If only you saw the tracks of my tears I think I’m losing my mind Where did you go and what did you find I’m here all alone Still wait by the phone The hours go by What else could I do but to cry I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night [synth solo] I’m here all alone Still wait by the phone The hours go by What else could I do but to cry I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night Where were you last night Where were you last night

A single grain can tip the scale Amidst the burden the scale will prevail Showing what`s worth being here Storyteller by a hearth of stone A white little creature purring me My childhood kingdom gone in time The islands filling my mind with blue The one in speacial, heaven’s court All the joy unforgiven by this task An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale The days are filled with anxiety Frustration, one right note a day Where to find a perfect tune Just do the work and take a step back All the joy unforgiven by this task An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale Dark chambers of my mind Locked around the neck of my love None of you understand And it doesn’t matter To a broken marionette like me An errant soul, homeless and foul An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale Oh how I hate mykind Have it all Yet wish to die Not mykind but the kind as you are Saints in Cain’s mask I love you I just did

Enchantress came to me and said: Meet me at the lake tonight I hunmed this song to the white Through the shroud of snow I saw Paradise Peace No more lies Crestfallen soul Rest for this night Love is here Right here under my wings I dream of wolves with them I run For me she lengthened the night I am home I am in peace Crestfallen soul Rest for this night Love is here Right here under my wings

Time it took the most of me And left me with no key To unlock the chest of remedy Mother, the pain ain`t hurting me But the love that I feel When you hold me near The hopes were high The choirs were vast Now my dreams are left to live through you Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Passiontide An angel by my side But no Christ to end this war To deliver my soul from the sword Hope has shown me a scenery Paradise poetry With first snow I`ll be gone The hopes were high The choirs were vast Now my dreams are left to live through you Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies Your death saved me Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies

Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit Vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee Sinussa maailman kauneus Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee Oman taivaan tänne loin Anna minun päästä pois

We used to swim the same moonlight waters Oceans away from the wakeful day – My fall will be for you – My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I will bleed forever Scent of the sea before the waking of the world Brings me to thee Into the blue memory – My fall will be for you – My fall will be for you My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me I will bleed forever Into the blue memory A siren from the deep came to me Sang my name my longing Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be The Child will be born again That siren carried him to me First of them true loves Singing on the shoulders of an angel Without care for love ‚n loss Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me Take me Cure me Kill me Bring me home Every way Every day Just another loop in the hangman’s noose Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Every way, every day I keep on watching us sleep Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve Of you and me Forgive the adoring beast Redeem me into childhood Show me myself without the shell Like the advent of May I`ll be there when you say Time to never hold our love – My fall will be for you – My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I’ll bleed forever

Godlove and rest my soul With this sundown neverending The feel is gone yet you ain’t gonna see me fail I am the decadence of your world I am an eider covered in oil Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore Tell me why No heart to cry Hang me high The music is dead, the amen is said The kiss of faith is what I beg A loving heart `n soul for sale Tell me why… Leave me be And cease to tell me how to feel To grieve, to shield myself from evil Leave me be Od of lies is killing me Romanticide Till love do me part See me ruined by my own creations Leave me be… Dead Boy’s alive but without sense I need a near-death experience Heart once bold Now turned to stone Perfection my messenger from hell Wine turns to water Campfires freeze, loveletters burn Romance is lost Lord, let me be wrong in this pain Temporary pain, eternal shame To take part in this devil’s chess game Spit on me, let go, get rid of me And try to survive your stupidity

The story behind the painting I drew is already told No more tearstains on the pages of my diary Tired but unable to give up since I’m Responsible for the lives I saved The play is done The curtain’s down All the tales are told All the orchids gone Lost in my own world Now I care for dead gardens My song is little worth anymore Time to lay this weary pen aside The play is done The curtain`s down „Where are the wolves, the underwater moon The elvenpath, the haven of youth Lagoons of the starlit sea” Have I felt enough for one man’s deed? Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days And let the virgin conceive All the tales…

A lady with a violin playing to the seals Hearken to the sound of calling Who tied my hands to the wheel? The zodiac turns over me (Come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see I tied myself to the wheel The winds talk to my sails, not me (Come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see

Soon I will be here no more You’ll hear the tale Through my blood Through my people And the eagle’s cry The bear within will never lay to rest Wandering on Horizon Road Following the trail of tears White man came Saw the blessed land We cared, you took You fought, we lost Not the war but an unfair fight Sceneries painted beautiful in blood Wandering on Horizon Road Following the trail of tears Once we were here Where we have lived since the world began Since time itself gave us this land Our souls will join again the wild Our home in peace ‚n war ‚n death Wandering on Horizon Road… „I still dream every night Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies The restless winds over mountaintops The unspoilt frontier of my kith ‚n kin The hallowed land of the Great Spirit I still believe In every night In every day I am like the caribou And you like the wolves that make me stronger We never owed you anything Our only debt is one life for our Mother It was a good day to chant this song For Her” Our spirit was here long before you Long before us And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end

Denying the lying A million children fighting For lives in strife For hope beyond the horizon A dead world A dark path Not even crossroads to choose from All the bloodred Carpets before me Behold this fair creation of God My only wish to leave behind All the days of the Earth An everyday hell of my kingdom come The 1st rock thrown again Welcome to hell, little Saint Mother Gaia in slaughter Welcome to paradise, Soldier My 1st cry neverending All life is to fear for life You fool, you wanderer You challenged the gods and lost Save yourself a penny for the ferryman Save yourself and let them suffer In hope In love This world ain’t ready for The Ark Mankind works in mysterious ways

This is me for forever One of the lost ones The one without a name Without an honest heart as compass This is me for forever One without a name These lines the last endeavor To find the missing lifeline Oh how I wish For soothing rain All I wish is to dream again My loving heart Lost in the dark For hope I`d give my everything Oh how I wish For soothing rain Oh how I wish to dream again Once and for all And all for once Nemo my name forevermore My flower, withered between The pages 2 and 3 The once and forever bloom gone with my sins Walk the dark path Sleep with angels Call the past for help Touch me with your love And reveal to me my true name Oh, how I wish… Nemo sailing home Nemo letting go Oh, how i wish…

I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I’m in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight Deep into a dying day I took a step outside an innocent heart Prepare to hate me fall when I may This night will hurt you like never before Old loves they die hard Old lies they die harder I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I’m in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight I’m going down so frail ‚n cruel Drunken disguise changes all the rules Old loves they die hard Old lies they die harder I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I’m in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight Greatest thrill Not to kill But to have the prize of the night Hypocrite Wannabe friend 13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing! Last dance, first kiss Your touch my bliss Beauty always comes with dark thoughts I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I’m in love with my lust Burning angelwings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight

Once I had a dream And this is it Once there was a child’s dream One night the clock struck twelve The window open wide Once there was a child’s heart The age I learned to fly And took a step outside Once I knew all the tales It’s time to turn back time Follow the pale moonlight Once I wished for this night Faith brought me here It’s time to cut the rope and fly Fly to a dream Far across the sea All the burdens gone Open the chest once more Dark chest of wonders Seen through the eyes Of the one with pure heart Once so long ago The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me This night will bring him back to me Fly to a dream…

Imagine a perfect beach Without a mermaid Imagine a perfect hideaway Without a time Ocean Soul Imagine a perfect Eden Without a friend without a serpent Ocean Soul Lonely Soul „Feeling lonely and content at the same time, I believe, is a rare kind of happiness” Ocean Soul Lonely Soul

I went into the wilderness with Uncle Walt I discovered the wild Learning to suck all the experience Seeing the world through cradle’s bars The wild blessed me with an errant mind Showing the way for the ultimate lore I went around the world, beyond the wild Finding my home from an ocean shore Wayfarer, heartlander What if I only had One more night to live Home is where the way is My road goes on forever One more voyage to go Dead to the world Alive for the journey

I. Long Lost Love Trees have dropped their leaves, Clouds their waters All this burden is killing me Distance is covering your way, Tears your memory All this beauty is killing me Oh, do you care, I still feel for you So aware, What should be lost is there I fear I will never find anyone I know my greatest pain is yet to come Will we find each other in the dark My long lost love II. One More Night To Live Safely away from the world In a dream, timeless domain A child, dreamy eyed, Mother’s mirror, father’s pride I wish I could come back to you Once again feel the rain Falling inside me Cleaning all that I’ve become My home is far but the rest it lies so close With my long lost love under the black rose You told I had the eyes of a wolf Search them and find the beauty of the beast All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes I wish I had one more night to live A saint blessed me, drank me deeply Spitting out the misery in me Still a sinner rapes 1000 saints Sharing the same hell with me Sanest choice in the insane world: Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers III. Christabel „Oh, sweet Christabel. Share with me your poem. For I know now, I’m a puppet on this silent stage show. I’m but a poet who failed his best play. A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending To each of his poems.”

Christine: In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me And speaks my name And do I dream again? For now I find The phantom of the opera is there, Inside my mind Phantom: Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you Grows stronger yet And though you turn from me to glance behind The phantom of the opera is there Inside your mind Christine: Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear Phantom: It’s me they hear Both: My/Your spirit and my/your voice In one combined The phantom of the opera is there inside my/your mind Chorus: Is that the phantom of the opera? Beware the phantom of the opera Phantom: In all your fantasies you always knew That man and mystery Christine: Were both in you Both: And in this labrinth Where night is blind The Phantom of the opera is here/there Christine: Inside my mind Phantom: Sing, my Angel of Music! CHRISTINE He’s there, the Phantom of the Opera . .

You were my first love The earth moving under me Bedroom scent, beauty ardent Distant shiver, heaven sent I’m the snow on your lips The freezing taste, the silvery sip I’m the breath on your hair The endless nightmare, devil’s lair Only so many times I can say I long for you The lily among the thorns The prey among the wolves Someday, I will feed a snake Drink her venom, stay awake With time all pain will fade Through your memory I will wade Barely cold in her grave Barely warm in my bed Settling for a draw tonight Puppet girl, your strings are mine This one is for you for you Only for you Just give in to it never think again I feel for you

One more night To bear this nightmare What more do I have to say Crying for me was never worth a tear My lonely soul is only filled with fear Long hours of loneliness Between me and the sea Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be – one with the waves Ocean Soul Walking the tideline I hear your name Is angels wispering Something so beautiful it hurts I only wished to become something beautiful Through my music, through my silent devotion

Fare thee well, little broken heart Downcast eyes, lifetime loneliness Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone Constant longing for the perfect soul Unwashed scenery forever gone No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I’ll be forever yours
