1. Whirl Of The Aeons
The Ancient Sea
Pounds on the shore
Twisting willows writhe
Against the clearing sky
With marbled hands
Raise from the depths
The columns move
Enter the Gardens of Twilight
Open your arms - Embrace my heart
Let the moonlight flood
Your excited face,
Swing your hair in the wind
The stars reflect in your green eyes,
The moment when two
Worlds each other meet
When time ends - Set Love Free
SPREAD OUT YOUR LIGHT!

2. Resignation To The Void
Our civilization is menaced with suicide,
Of technological misuse
The planet is going to die
Organic evolution has been weaved
Throughout the spin of time
By playin’ with our fears
Its patterns will decline
The scare in children's eyes
Will haunt us paralysed
The planet will decay
And we have just one voice...
The scientists leave reached
Highest levels in all fields
They wash their hands of side-effects
That harm the biosphere
They hide the dangers
From the expansion of the industry
This is not the end of the world
But it’s visible front here
The scare in children’s eyes
Will haunt you paralysed
The planet will decay
And we have just one voice...
The statements of our policy
Are made by paranoids
But we don’t recognize this,
We resign to the void...

3. Crimes In Advance
The thunder smites upon my ears
With overtaking wings it strikes
Awaking thoughts washed up by tides
My glittering and weary eyes
Are fixed right on my bleeding hands
That smashed the cold shell of my mind
I launch myself from misty hills
And vanish into cloudy skies
I cast off all that have been touched by time
Among the chosen ones am I
Who will be shot to touch the Light
A desire to seize the crimson coloured Sun
But in the gulfs of night my mortal sigh
Rowed the boat of fate
My cosmic lane
The precious beauty of truth I sought
But floating in a rotting sea
I lasted bitterness and pain
I hunted for the missing will
And staggered between light and dark
But lunacy I could not cheat
Still armed myself against all fears,
Effaced the false hopes from my brain
And rushed upon all pleasures to devour
I conjured up the Erinnyes
To bring me pangs and pour me dread
I fed them with my blindfold belief
Washed up on rocks it lies,
My riddled shield
Values and treasures fade
And sink in slime
My skiny hands are still digging through the ground...

4. The Eternal Heat
When the Moon is full
And bright in the skies
The dark waters gleam
To grand ways beneath
Grey vapors part T
o outline your form
The Sea has grown dear
I'll answer your call
The Ocean bears all dreams of Time
My only dream, lay by me
The Basalt Pillars open wide
To grant me pleasures unattained
Beyond there’s neither Time nor Space,
There is where all your Beauty dwells
Out from the shore
You wander and yearn
On moonbeams i walk
And flowers that burn
Let us depart,
Ride on the dolphin’s back
At Rose Dawn we'll seize
The Effulgent Sun
Open your wings, fly across the Sea
Celestial Bird, lay by me
You’ll put your hands upon my eyes
With Faith that strong I'll follow blind
To where the Oceans of the World
Drop down into the Wells of Light
Embraced well plunge
into the Eternal Heat of God Apollo...

5. La SOeur D’ ICARE
Icarus opened his bright wings
They softly creaked in the morning wind
A flood of colours on his face
And light was spread across the Sea
The Sun began to gleam
Over the immemorial stone
A cry for freedom, the Ocean's call
And his decision beyond recall
Touch the Sun, touch the Sun...
The warm sigh for dissolution
Death trip into a timeless world
Into the distant unknown places
Icarus flies on the wings of Love
Come, save me from amnesia
I was doomed to live in
Take now my hand and guide me
Far from despair
Beyond the Gates of the eastern Dreamlands
Where all that ends starts over again
A black dot in the sky
With melting wings -
The heat of the light
Implacable are the eyes of Beauty
Pure are the colours of the Sea
Never soiled and never captive
There melt all souls and spirits soar
The Ocean's Lore, the deep blue Sea
Opens her arms to bid him welcome
While his strength begins to fail
Ready to sink he cries out her name
Open your bowels, enclose me...
The Magic Glass of Truth beckons
The Dolphins and the Whales
The Princess of Enchanting Worlds
La Soeur D' Icare

6. Captivity
Among the wails of the tempestuous winds
Shrieking yells rose
Front our desperate throats
Over the sea our hands stretched out in vain
Legions of damned
Drowned with cries of pain
Servants of lords set sail to hunt the sun
Our souls were borne up to
An unknown land
Swallowed by waves
And washed up on the shore
All of them drowned
And only I have survived
Desolate man, forlorn I was
But still grieved for them
Through all of my grief
I saw serpents coiled about their broken shaft
Scorpions that crawled over their naked skull
Sun, pale at my grief, draw down to sleep
Night, throw your widow's veil upon the sea
And havin' once turned my head I walked away
Far from the storms
That swept across my fate
Their silhouettes rose,
Followed by a tattered moan,
From the labyrinthine depths
Of my troubled soul
Our lives have been diced,
Reeled and betrayed they’ve been
By lords who ride the chariots of our dreams,
Spoke they and fixed their stony eyes on me
And cursed their lords before
They dropped down again:
Curse on this world reigned by insane
Curse on the lords who governed our brains
Curse on the gods who span our lives
But didn't know how to spin right
Curse on the woe our souls fly to
And on the oath that our lives abused
Curse on the preachers, curse on their fanes
Greedy for gain, curse on you all!

7. Dragon' Snake
Born from the womb of Earth
And from the Python s mouth
Raised from vulcanic fires
High into purple skies
Fire King, Winged Snake!
He guards the Orb of Life
And bears the Keys of Time
He circles round the sphere
In orbital embrace
Fire King, Winged Snake!
The Snake coils around the Earth
The Feathered Guardian Snake
He whispers in our dreams
Words of eternal faith
Winged King Snake:
Only those who haven't lost their Cosmic Memory,
only they can understand!
Fly Holy Snake,
Dragon King pour us faith
You're the heir to our dreams,
We're the Children of the Myth
High flies the tireless Snake
Above the Tree of Life
How far do we have to climb
To caress his feathered skin...
Fire King, Winged Snake!

9. Carousel
Standing by the autumn shore,
Swarmed by fading light
Time dissolves through pink and grey
As if the day refused to leave
It's hanging on the last sunbeams
I commit my soul into the night
Your white dress softly floats
In the evening breeze
With copper eyes you greet the dark
Staring at the fusty
Carousel
Its horses covered with
A salted layer of sand
Waiting for the hands of love
To heal and bring them life
Turn round the carousel
Its rusty wheel now creaks
The music floods my ears
The storm abates, the pain subsides
Carousel
Embraced with northern stars and tides
Now you're dancing by the shore
Let me smother you with kisses
Let me swim into your soul
Dressed in ambrosial garments
We'll dive into the night
With lips that burn and eyes of fire
We'll fly across the sky
