Circle

Mountain tops and red, red clouds Aflame with flaring gold Silhouetted in the eastern sky like a god The trees now blue under the dusk... The cooling flood of evening shade The lights recede, the sounds subdue Predators emerge from their caves Grayness holds my mind at stake And the lake's golden mirror's dim The last rays fall into darker shade The night coils around the day Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray The sun bades the world farewell The queen of the night her attire aglow Before her beauty I, too bow These nights I should fear These lights I should not follow This road to nowhere leads I wander around in circles Grayness holds my mind at stake And the lake's golden mirror's dim The last rays fall into darker shade The night coils around the day Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray The sun bades the world farewell The lights recede The sounds subdue Predators emerge from their caves Grayness holds my mind at stake And the lake's golden mirror's dim The last rays fall into darker shade The night coils around the day Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray The sun bades the world farewell It controls my mind ...And the lake's golden mirror's dim The last rays fall into the darker shade The night chokes the day Shadows turn the light into the shades of gray The sun bades the world farewell

Up high in the north At the end of my rocky road I heard the call I saw the form My feet had betrayed me I was carried forth To a place of healing Where I was made again And they sang me my song While they told me all the tales Then they showed me my mission And I heard it whisper my name They took me to their side And gave me back my life Blew the sounds into my ears And lit the light on my path And they sang me my song While they told me all the tales Then they showed me my mission And I heard it whisper my name

A narrow path Now overgrown Covered by grass Almost gone It whispers an invitation to me Unveils a new direction Around me the forest sings The sun gilds the road Here's my place This is my world Here's my future I make my fire here The trail leads me to the sea The stones feel so familiar On this cliff I've been before And heard the song of the waves The path turns to a road The river flows into the sea Around me the forest sings The sun gilds the road

Whispering of the trees And nightbird's wistful song My heart is growing still The silent warriors arise From beneath the shadows blue From behind the shrouded veil The ghosts step in front of me The silent ones creep through me They run beneath the stars They rush on the road of night They glide on the glass of time They ride on a pale and frozen lake Arise, the silent warriors arise Arise, from the black soil Arise, from the nightbird's song and screams From the solar winds of my soul From the moonlit matter of my bones From shivering of my flesh From leaden weights of my memory The ghost of time are born Step forth the immortals Emerge the envoys of the depths Silently the warriors arise

This long road Paved with victories These monuments Named after heroes On this spring-like night When the trees are blooming I languish upon this road I perish on the icy path Who are you Why have you called me here (And the wind steals the sound) And this long road Where are you leading me (And the snow erases the tracks) It leads the way Tireless through the dusk Forces me to carry on Flowers wither… lights and stars go out I blindly fall down Into the abyss of sleep and death Why I'm the one The chose one… When I'm no one I strain to, to hear the call But the wind steals the sound I strive to, to keep on trail And the snow erases the tracks

Upon my birth Came close to death I wore the night Dark skies tucked me in Stranded in the mire of sorrows The lightless caves in ravines The power rushed over me The serpent ran me through A moment stole my time A might surged over me My passage enchanted by the moon The light with shadows blended My delusion imprisoned me My enemy destroyed me A sword cleaved my skull An arrow pierced my heart A sword cleaved my skull And the wind took my soul Somebody broke my bones Somebody tore my flesh Somebody broke my bones Somebody crushed my chest The power rushed over me The serpent ran me through A moment stole my time A might surged over me

The Sun will rise again When darkness can't get any darker Shadows will retreat When night has filled the cup of time When pearls start to glow When morning dewdrops glister When the wind waves the blade of grass The Sun will rise again When eagles have descended by my side When I no longer need to flee When mountain has accepted me, I will stay And rest for a while This is the moment I have always feared Afraid of an ending night Afraid of a closing road This is how it feels to die On a most beautiful day When the clouds so white and light Sail across the sky

On opening my eyes... The world dark as my soul... Nothing moves, nothing flows A dream of a dead man The moss of thoughts fill my mouth Lichen grows on my bones...Vertebrae detach... Teeth lost in the grit The night has swallowed my name... Taken my time, taken my place The dusk has covered my trace... The rain has washed my memories away I have disappeared... I am no more...Turned into voice of storm The roaring song of space... Behold the waves...They roll over themselves Behold the waves...There lies the lap of time
