Solitude I 02:26

We are the Hollow Men Chosen ones who take their stand We have nothing under our skin No flesh to stab, no, we all said We said: No Whispered names will never describe what you will hear, it's a mournful cry It says: No. It says: No We are the Hollow Men. You know we live under your home try to sleep and we'll ring your phone And say: No You‘ll stay awake until you can see what you really ought to be unless you nevermore want to be free We say: No. We are the Hollow Men Chosen ones who take their stand We are the Hollow Men And we live within every single sin We are the chosen men We are the frightening men We are the sentencing men We are the hollow men We say: No. We are the hollow men Chosen ones who take their stand We are the hollow men Nothing under our skin We are the hollow men We are the hollow men And we live within every single sin

Snowwalk 06:22
Sound is fading Deaf by night A hole to hide in Shining bright. Crystal beneath me Cold was the ground Laughter inside me Darkness around. In the coldness out there Clouds combine, With nothing more but a whisper The mist drowns your eye. If there's nothing worth dyin' for, Be aware, And keep nothing by your side. Companion before me enters the hole laughter inside me shivering tone. In the coldness out there Clouds combine, With nothing more but a whisper the mist drowns your eye If there‘s nothing worth dyin‘ for Be aware And trust no one by your side.

Like a Deer 08:24
Like a Deer You live in forest deep Revelation will come soon Natural enemies are here. She’ll be near Sun fades while you hesitate And the passion that you feel Keeps glowing in the dark. All is quiet You try to judge her swaying The fright of having hurt her Evolves into a fray. And this is gonna happen: You are not wanted here You‘d better run. You can‘t choose nothing here You‘re free to leave none. And she‘ll be standing near. She: the isolator. She‘s sentencing your fear. You: the predator. Some time passed The hunting shadows left You can‘ t hurt anyone Because you are just a deer. So why feel, Like you‘re a predator? You‘re the forest's weak. You are the victim. The weakest prey of them all.

Bird of Prey 06:59
Bird of prey comes to me, The wings wide. Dark feathers so light In the air And his eyes invite me. Far away, I can see: On the hill, the misty hill, I‘ll be... On my own. And his claws rip out whatever is mine - Whatever seemed to be mine. As one of nature’s victims, oh my dearest friend I know you don’t wanna starve in this rough and wasted land So pick my liver, take my flesh, whatever I can hand you won’t get anything that matters in the end. Bird of prey come to me I won’t whine! Just come to me I won’t cry! Come to me you pathetic shame! Just come to me And ease your pain.

Pt. I: „The Shore and the Harbour“ Pt. II: „The Dress“ Our torchhike lights the shore And with it, the abandoned docks. Water is glimmering before our eyes. Old wrecks lost like a flock of sheep. But the tides seem tirelessly And the ocean‘s roar shiveres the coast. No food in the fishermans house. No ember in the fireplace. Just an old dress made of satin, all shimmering blue. Remember the ocean and its deep: Lasting long Lasting long Like the harbour. Leave this place. Leave it as a grave For mariner‘s tales. Leave the dress and it‘s connotations. We may not drown here. Not in this place. This darkened port. Maybe outside, Where the water springs, Or back there, Where the woods gave birth to other things. But not here... But not here… Pt. III: "The invitation of the sea"

Come on Reach us your hands We will follow the path till the end We're alone Without a home Our goal is the totality We will find Something in our mind That is far more than just sanity On our own On our own Sacrificed in this holy place
