A Legacy of Love Mark II

And as I walked through the garden of love. I passed the gates of paradise and the gates of perdition: Maybe the saddest experience of all is that even the most wonderful and precious moments don't last forever and appear like a dream that faded much too soon when looking back. But both darkness and light are given to us to make us prospect and grow: like every living being needs the interplay of daylight's sweet kiss and night's gentle embrace. And as darkness falls while I'm drifting away on the river of sadness, the remembrance of love's golden sunlight is my only supply of logs for the cold and lonely winter of the soul. This album is a tribute to a love that was so beautiful as long as it lasted and so bitter when it ended: hence both love's heavenly bliss as well as bereavement's abysmal despair are to be found amongst these 10 songs; songs that are like sears to me no w... But still the dream remains, and yet my love has not withered nor have my songs faded away: Though Moonshadow died in the devastation of declining Planet Kyrah. Sid survived - but for how much longer? Goodnight - and may the Goddess bless you all! ["When I'm dead, my Dearest, sing no sad songs for me, plant thou no roses at my head, nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me with showers and dewdrops wet; and if thou wilt, remember, and if thou wilt, forget". Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)]

Linger on, oh waning moon This midnight hour has come much too soon By the crystal lake we stand With our names in the sand Believe me, my Love I will wait for you And I will return If you still want me, too With the song of the nightswan And I'll be in heaven The lark heralds the break of day No longer by my side can you stay In shrouded mists you disappear Like a ghost bayadere Where are you, my Love? I'm calling your name This spell can be broke Love‘s ignited the flame Like the song of the nightswan And I'll be in heaven Oh, believe me, my Love I will stand, laying siege to this fortress of time With the glory of you in my heart Charge before the sun touches the rime The Beltane fires upon the hill Your hand in mine by the old water-mill Fairies sing our wedding song Now the moon lingers on Stay with me, my Love My Angel, my Life We walked this dark maze So now we will fly On the wings of the nightswan And we'll be in heaven

And the rear lights of your car Behind the trees they fade away Walking inside somnambular There goes a lovelorn castaway Does it always have to be like this? I'll never know Was it something that I said? You said: "I gotta go..." While leaving me back here With my memories and my tears You won't reappear No fire in the lighthouse To guide me tonight Don't know if our planet's razed Torn apart by love's meteorite I know I will lose you How can I face another daylight? And I know This could ring down the curtain to our last show No second chance for Juliet and her Romeo No applause, no ovations, no bravissimo Please don't go! Staring at the telephone Wondering if I'd try I never knew that nights could be that long And still I hear your last goodbye Strange people on the screen They try to make me laugh But everywhere I see your face and the photograph On the wall says that you're gone And I'm waiting for the sun Keep dreaming on... No fire in the lighthouse To guide me tonight Don't know if our planet's razed Torn apart by love's meteorite I know I will lose you How can I face another daylight? And I know This could ring down the curtain to our last show No second chance for Juliet and her Romeo No applause, no ovations, no bravissimo Please don't go!

As the autumn wind blows hard in crawling devastation I was not prepared to find fate in a state of rage Love once seemed so strong to me, promising salvation Another tragedie d‘amour appearing on life‘s stage And again he hears the raven's cry... I‘m strucked down without warning With your words like cyanide She left me in the morning But forever I will ride And forever I ride... Suddenly I‘m lost inside tremendous aberration Songs that used to make me glad now make me wanna cry Restlessly I‘m walking empty streets up to the station Standing there in silence as the trains keep passing by And he turns his face towards the sky... The stars fade in the dawning But the door‘s still opened wide And still I am adorning But forever I will ride And forever I ride... In love from the first time that I saw you And the fire in your eyes Take me to your sea of flowers Hold me as the wind shakes the rye Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you Burning streams like ours cannot disband The mist it spreads your name in early morning dew Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Incense leaving trails of smoke A vision of us fasting our hands Angels laying siege to my heart And I shall not longer withstand Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you Burning streams like ours cannot disband The mist it spreads your name in early morning dew Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you This love of ours will never ever end May the silver moon make all our dreams come true Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Hear the song of the waves Storms calling up thunder and light A premature grave Overgrown by black lillies of night Hekate arise! Bring back the love of my life! Rain falls down, it soaks my cloak on this cold grey morning I missed the last train that could have me taken back to you! There‘s no use in staying here waiting for the dawning The fool just saddles up again as if he always knew And again he hears the raven's cry... I‘m strucked down without warning With your words like cyanide She left me in the morning But forever I will ride And forever I ride... The stars fade in the dawning But the door‘s still opened wide And still I am adorning But forever I will ride And forever I ride...

Farewell, pretty one: It‘s all over now you‘ve gone After all that we went through, you left me when I needed you The times we shared, the good and bad, were the best I‘ve ever had, the best years of my life.... Farewell, pretty one: I‘ve put all my faith in you and I can‘t understand: Did you lie on that night you said you‘d never let me go? Oh, I believed each word you‘ve said I believed until the end It‘s so hard to realize you never wanted me that close by your side And the snow falls back in time down the hillside on our sledge we‘d ride We were laughing in the january sun And for a moment time stood still as we rode on and on and on.... Still the snow falls on Yule-tide falls forever on that dreary mountainside And the ghost of our love stands right above: A monument of your smile And our laughter that died so long ago lingers on and on and on... Never will I forget our last winter Never will I forget the last winter of our love! Goodbye, pretty one: You broke my heart twice, now I‘m done! You left me like a dream at the break of dawn and I almost died And even if you‘re lying now in someone else‘s arms I‘m still with you in a dream, in dreams of days gone by, the best days of my life Goodnight, my love, goodnight.... For we were dancing in the midnight sun our love became too wild I loved you like a child The fire went out, went out before dawn and I broke down and cried and I drowned and died

By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im not dead! I asked for love, got a golden cage Plastic emotions in a plastic age The pain I felt they told me wasn‘t real „The Earth!“, I cried: My last appeal! Now it‘s my turn to realize To change the road, to change the side The past has gone, may it rest in peace A new dawn fades as She sows the seed Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! A midnight‘s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence.... The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire‘s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love! Alone again I stand amongst the debris of a dream having to face once more the madness of love But I know that the Goddess will hear my yearning call and her enchanting song will make my heart dance

Oh, you changed everything Nothing‘s the same anymore I see colours I‘ve never seen before I hear songs that make my heart sing with joy You set my heart on fire like it never burned before And I‘m sure that up there in the sky shine some new-born stars that were not known until tonight Can you hear me ground-control? I think I‘m lost in space Do you hear me ground-control? An unknown planet appears on my screen.... Never thought I‘d be an astronaut Never thought I‘d leave the earth Never thought I‘d fly so high Break through the sky while you hold me in your embrace And as the air starts getting thin Your lips on mine: exchanging love‘s oxygen And the last call they receive: Our capsule vanishing somewhere behind Andromeda.... We can‘t hear you ground-control! I think we‘re lost in space! We can‘t hear you anymore! An unknown planet appears on our screen.... I‘ll meet you tonight on Planet Kyrah! I‘ll kiss you tonight on Planet Kyrah!

Now I guess there‘s something wrong: All stars fall down the story ends Maybe there‘ll be another song Though nothing‘s left but somnolence And I‘m so tired and worn out Sometimes I feel like Hawkeye Pierce I try to laugh among the tears How I‘m trying not to think of you night and day But with each breath your last words come my way Will I ever trust in anyone again? Some say treasures are hidden behind sorrow and pain You made me tumble made me fall And though I seem to understand I crash my head against the wall How could this vow of yours disband? And how much longer will I stand Lying awake in sleepless nights I wish I could replace my mind... But it won‘t last forever So my friends do say Step by step I‘m getting by And though sometimes my heart still sticks to yesterday I hold on to my dream and I‘ll be riding again You don‘t want me anymore So I walk out of your door I don‘t want to hear one more pathetic excuse You didn‘t give me just one chance I should have known by clairvoyance From the first time you didn‘t wear the ring anymore Good luck to you So long, Farewell, Goodbye I won‘t come back again You were not the one I searched for But I know I will find her Til the end of December I‘ll be waitng for you And I cannot longer stay here Amongst your broken promises Another planet‘s calling I‘ll be gone with the rain Til the end of December I‘ll be waiting for you And I got strength to endure Til the end of December All the love that I have will show me the way Til the end of December Til my heart beats again I know I‘ll obtain Til the end of December I‘ll be waiting for you

Down in the gutter of broken hearts I lie in 8 months time died the love of my life Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that you crept away like a thief in the night? And I‘m standing on top of a mountain Crying bereavement to the stars Will I make my way without you? Will I ever get over you? Oh, this room: it seems so strange now cause your laughter still echoes inside Withered roses will never bloom again Carry my weight: Those memories of you! Once I felt that you loved me These days are over, now we‘re through Our secret garden lost forever I never thought you could be that cruel In cold blood you walked away! I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile Dream-like strains wake me up at night The memory of her presence faded long ago like a vanished trail of smoke I try in vain to recollect the time of a love that we once shared Fragments of her voice come haunting me at night How I wished I could turn back time Her name once written down in my diary now frozen between the lines Gone like last winters frostwork on the window-pane Will I ever understand? Still there‘s a shadow on the shadow of her smile Gates of time can never be crossed twice The frostwork of our love melted all away but when we die our songs remain! And comes the winter of our lives we‘re trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our fading memories Once frostwork‘s fallen on the ground You can never bring it back It‘s melting without sound Nights are so cold and empty without you Still your scent lingers on in my room Trying to set sails for a new horizon Trying to keep the candle alight! Still I‘m standing on top of the mountain with my soul floating to the stars Songs of love and loss while the night of this new moon does conceal my bleeding heart! No regrets - I won‘t look back in anger Even if it‘s so hard to forget Will I survive yet another dark winter til snow will melt and rivers do flow? And our time did not last forever Though our love it seemed so pure While I face the light of a new day Hope these memories fade away How I wished they‘d fade away! Take me down to the sea Take me to my last resort d‘Amour Take me down to the sea Down there my lover‘s waiting She has come for our last rendez-vous Singing, dancing, dreaming Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry Drowning in the waves of love that never dies

Oh, this void inside tears my soul apart Why did you lie? I lost my faith in you! Once there was purity but now only perfidy and pain because you‘ve been untrue! You broke all promises and now our love is bound to die and so am I - I die! Lost forever within the debris of my dreams I put my trust in you! How could you leave me in a lurch after all that I‘ve gone through What the hell did you do? Down on my knees I pray: „Save me, save me, save me, please!“ but no hope anymore - I die! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand this anymore therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! And so I‘ll leave this world behind broken by faithlessness of the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! Remember when you called my name? I‘ve been always there for you! To me it‘s more than just a game I loved you too much, and still I do! Now your body‘s so close to mine I kiss your lips goodbye To lie in your arms for a last time before I die! And he dreams of days gone by Floating down to the other side A thousand Angels cry Firing squad against the walls of light Not again another day Now his love has lost the last stand Oh Angels, hear him pray As he‘s passing away into her hands! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand your loss, your lies; therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! and so I try to leave the pain behind of treason that became the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! But you swore you‘d love me forever and it was only yesterday What have I done to deserve this Am I destiny‘s fool? And I hate you, and I love you for what you‘ve done to me Oh shit, why did you leave me in such despair? I‘m trying not to breathe though I try so hard to reach the other side I‘m trying not to breathe No more songs for me to sing because you leave Now I think I see the light: Goodbye, my love! Oh, I‘m trying not to breathe

I wanted to live on top of a mountain but it‘s cold and forsaken there without you now I wanted to dive into the ocean of love but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams For you I sang songs of the nightswan and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart Forever burning on love‘s funeral pyre: Stop beating now, my bleeding heart! For this knife did cut too deep so for the last time I‘m trying not to breathe Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart: I gave you so much more than just my love and you broke so much more than just a promise Our planet vanished so devastatingly amongst the mists of time There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow‘s End somewhere behind Andromeda I‘ve been waiting til the end of december but no more will I ride for the winter solstice‘s child will pass away silently on a midsummer‘s night So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms cover me with elder flowers and take me down to my beloved sea I‘m so tired, so tremendously tired Please wait for me under the midnight sun where I will sing and dance again and my laughter will be heard echoing down the hillside again... Oh, how I tried to believe, how I loved, How I tried to hold on to my dream; How I wanted to live - but now I‘m going home to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word and as I kiss the memory of yours goodnight I‘m beginning to see the light... Ich liebe Dich für immer!
