[Jehovah:] Read in my book of lies of atrocities, blood and sacrifice! My temples erected in gold and bone The stupid sheep turn theis head to the blind! [Priestess:] And comes the winter of your life The king of kings - left to your own device The ones who thought to walk in light will freeze to death in the endless night! [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes! 3 curses to the holy throne! No regrets! It's too late! The Goddess of the Night comes! Will ask for what have you done! The father, holy ghost and son! No remand... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered king long ago still sing their songs in my heart The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes Still call me through the times! [Jehovah:] Your senseless prayers I never hear The sign of the cross in praise of your fear! Your little belief is just a crap on the rotten body of your so-called "Christ"! [Priestess:] The blind, the crippled and the lame still keep the faith in a god of disgrace But a songless bird will never sing to the dying glory of a bogous king! [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered king ago still sing their songs in my heart The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes Still call me through the times! "You cut me down and I'll leap high I am the Life that never dies So dance where ever you may be The ruler of the dance is she!" [The Fool:] And my elder sister takes me by the hand And we spiral sideways to a far away land In the Tempest she sings with the Ocean's roar Glowing in the Storm that the Mermaid bore! Them witches calling Up from the shore They walk behind me Throught the door! Oh, my youngest sister, oh where have you been? Behind the moon on the other side of dream? Oh, she guides me back sa the raven cries but we'll meet again for to dance in the skies! [Jehovah:] I am the scum of this dark age I'm your beginning and your end! Ovlivion takes my place The frame holds just another face of death! [Priestess:] Abd who will count the slaughtered lifes? The Burned? The Tortured? The Demised? All The Blood of the Innocent? The Decline of the stolen Trinity? [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered long ago The Endless Dance

And wil the vows be heard Of immortal desire A breathtaking darkness Into the abyss we dive As you were mine And as memories fade Just like trails of smoke On a midwinter's night You kept holding me tight As you were mine On came the nights When stormclouds veiled the skies All heavens stood still And all the worlds did collide "Forgive me - I failed!" Lovelorn I will die Nothing more than a dream That you were mine In my cold whilte hands A lover's bequest There were stars on our side Oh Eva - just one last caress For your were mine "My friens: The most precious gift", Said the fool, "Is a love that follows no rule! There's no use in turning away! So why are you turning away?"

See the girl on the floor As she's watching the rain Like sallow tracks of blood poring down Scattered over the floor The sheets painted in black Showing a fettered mouthless child Her Mother's gone shopping and she prays For her Daddy not to come home But for Jane's prayers no god gives a damn Her Daddy is back to play with Jane! She closes her eyes to break away from the girl Lying raped and abused on the ground No use to commit herself to anyone For who's believe Jane She feels hate for being treated this way Is it her fault Daddy's playing these games? She tries in vain to think of something She might have done wrong Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane See the girl on the floor She can't bear it no more: Lewdy hands defiling her skin! A life like that means not much to Jane The belt 'round her neck gently takes her away! He's closing the door for she seems asleep: Those sickening games won't be played anymore! No-one could explain what happend to Jane She was only one in a million girls Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane

By the river I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Vindicate! Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies All they left us was a world demise! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Anyhow! 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: I'm 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! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Come to light! 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 Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Recognize! 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: I'm still 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 Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Indicate! 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 River of Life! Eternity! And as I try to stand the trial Dreams and Memories of You Come haunting me like demons! But I won't fail this time Because my Love had been asleep for much too long! Oh Eva, Your Love so previous and pure! May the Goddess grant me a second miracle So I may lie in Your arms again! For You are the Sun, the Moon and the Stars to me! You are the only one I desire from the depths of my heart! Desperate I walk the blackness of the Maze Trying to follow the footsteps of an unforgetable Love they's bring me back again to You, Eva, my Beloved!

Destiny turned the page to another side in my book of life: "He who once was artless like a child had to face the blackest night!" While I was unaware, She must have silently faded away: "Whereas his shadow walks the Earh in restless search for the Queen!" As the cold begins to bite, in Nightmare's realm I lie awake: "Fading voices calling back the years into time's deadly embrace!" Behind these delusive hills where gales ensnare a paralyzed sun: "In sombre distress he's entering the hall just to find Her Orphaned Throne!" Broken and desperate before Her Orphaned Throne Holding a dying sparraw in his hands His eyes full of tears had seen the wasted land Will She ever come again? Ever come again? Suam sanclam ad sedern liceat me vobis sequi Si sanum me facere volueritis Suam sancta ad sedem, ad marin Si enim hoc loco versatus sim, periturus est Suam sanctam ad sedem liceat me vobis sequi Num hoc solo loco me Dea expectat Passion turned out to be a slip of the pen amongst the lines of fate: "All that was left in the end: Forgotten echoes in a dream!" For only a fool's solemnity might ignite the driftwood of my heart: "Still My Life shines on every move you make: Just call My Name and I'll be there!" So cranky and blind I did not see, rashness made me lose my own way: "Fragments of glass cutting through his veins: I shall save him from this pain!" Destiny turned the page to the final chapter in my book of life: "Awake see him lie in Marah's warm embrace - I'm returning on My Throne!" Broken and desperate...

Down in the valley on a midwinter's night Walks the crone unseen by human kind Her weary heart longing for rest Her eyes saw too much of sorrow and grief There was a time when she was adored And the valley was full of bliss and joy Until the day the gaunt one appeared He never smiled nor shed any tear And he raised his voice: "Behold, I'm Messiah!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It's only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams The man, he spoke of commandments and sins Of wicked wives, of chaste and virtuous men He'd sown the seed of mischief in their hearts Those once proud now a submissive crowd And he raised his voice: "Behold, I'm Messiah! I'm the son of god: I come in fire! My kingdom come, my will be done!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It's only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams Now the blind are leading the blind Independence and wisdom exchanged for ignorance and minority Seizure and oppression amongst the once born free But still no one dared to raise a hand against the crone They were aware - despite his sermons - that she still held the strength and the power And as she makes her way through centuries and decades She waits for human kind to awake and shake off the chains of Messiah In patience she walks the world in search for those Who uphold the memento of the Golden Age While in his church, in fitful sleep, tormented by nightmares Lies Messiah in fright of the dark The demons he raised to strike the blind with fear were not just a mirage They've become alive to haunt Messiah To end creation's devastation The senseless sacrifice She, the weaver, Weaves the veil of damnation! And out of the skies Valkyries and Erinyes rising Avenging angels of doom Called by the crone The wandering ones seek for vengeance Awaiting the last stand The earth awakes in fire, thunderstorm and lightning Night calls into being decline And up in the skies The crone in the midst of silence Armageddon has now begun! And out of his dreams Messiah pleas: "Goddess, have mercy upon me!" "Misguided prophet See my scythe Descending over you!" Down in the valley beneath the river of time Sits the crone remembering human kind Now winter's gone and springtime has come And all the ashes are washed away...

Oh Goddess Sister of Night Mother of Life Guardian of Time To You I raise my voice For I have walked in darkness Through vales of pain And I drank from springs of tears Let my body burst into blossom again Of flourishing beauty Or bury me deep in Mother Earth Let my eyes be passionate messengers again Of my undying love for her Or close them forever Let my lips drink from hers again The enrapturing liqueur of desire Or seal them forever Let my soul touch hers again Oh, let her heart yearn for mine once more Or drown me forever in the sea of oblivion Let her love be inflamed for me again In deepest passion and lust Or burn me on the pyre of unfulfilled desire May out of this darkness arise a new dawn Or let these words be my epitaph...
