Astral Sleep
Album • 2012
The towers Built of stone of all kind The guardians Of all species The dimensions With every possibility This purgatory like void I will take the first step This is the secret mankind explores all the time This is the secret man will never expose Oh lord, tell me why were here! What's the purpose of this dream For ages we have wandered Through the gates For ages we have wondered Which gate should we choose But all the gates are closed To those who do not know the answers To the riddles that the guardians Present to those who trespass Oh lord, tell me why we're here! Oil lord what's the purpose of this dream? Is it to gather knowledge And to take it back Is it to prepare myself For what's coming next I wrote this part last night with the lizard king But i no longer remember what he sang to it I hope that i will see him again So he would tell me how old is the snake For ages we have wandered Through the gates For ages we have wondered Which gate should we choose For ages we've had the knowledge of the ancients And maybe we will know all the answers Before our world ends as it is

A day of hard work is through I'm more exhausted than ever before Its good to lie down on my soft bed And to see what's on the channel sleep tonight A few disturbing visions News tell about rotting corpses on my backyard Tonights movie is about love lost forever My favorite series with the episode called "pain" Suddenly i see with my eyes open I hear a strange eerie music flowing around I try to move but all my limbs are numb Then i can feel something is looking at me Beside my bed is sitting a man He has no face He speaks a language Unknown to me Behind me, at the door, there a shapeless form That came through aeons, now to finally take me away Over my body, there are ghosts dancing Wraiths weighing a thousand tons They came from hell to take me Now the man is sitting no more He jumps on me and grabs my throat I am choking, i am choking, choking... Suddenly i can see with my eyes open again, I am almost drowning in my sweat My room is bright, i can look around again I can move my limbs, it’s all quiet (for now)

I had visions of things i always wish to see I kissed your lips and together we flew to the moon I had visions of things i never want to see I ripped off your heart not even knowing the reason why I am not sure if i am ready to face you Cause my dreams seem so real That i cannot tell the difference And i don’t even want to find it out Pain (and suffering) i wish to see Beneath the sky painted with dreams Bleeding through the wall of sleep Pain and agony i have to see These visions are full of love and death I cant tell the good ones from the bad Sometimes visions of death give hope When visions of love cause pain These visions that i see Reflect the darker side of me When i think about those images i know they are not reality But many times it feels That their meaning is Not just black or white Like when i see myself stabbing you It sometimes feels like the right thing to do And when i see myself hanging from the tree I feel that i could finally be ready to die Satanic visions Of suicide Divine visions Of eternal lies Hanging from the tree Jumping off the tower Drinking the poison Taking the last breath Satanic visions Unholy incantations Dancing with darkness Throughout visions

Who are you? You who are looking Back at me from the mirror That image in the mirror Why do you remind me Of someone i used to know? Everything has changed suddenly Vet it all began long ago My mind destroying itself Dark corridors and empty chambers Inside of me Armored doors and locked shutters Cover my mind Is the door closed forever? The demon of fear and lies I cast my soul into hades And i hope that it will all be over waves of despair flood my mind A thousand years of solitude Dark red flow The river from the other side I cut the gate open So he may ride through Who is that person? Who has been honest to no one Blindfolded by chaos and deceit False scenes and masks Where have i been? I have been away for so long a time My search is never over But the closer i get, the more i feel All the emotions deprived of me Through the unknown and beyond Pain and fear, sorrow and exhaustion They all await me when I break the shackles of flesh
