Under a New Sign

Hear a wind of change chasing spirits of the past Ships that pass in the night See a misty plain of water stirring with each gust Water lifted by the wind and turning into dust I come not to seek for answers or look behind closed doors Please close your eyes when I leave for distant shores Sail towards the light I now speak a tongue no one wants to hear It's the language of the loner who's too numb to fear Do not grieve for me when my ship passes out of sight For those willing to fight there is no freedom, god or right Guide me to the place where I want to be Let the stars light the way across the sea Traveling on towards foreign shores and sands Let the waters wash me clean again Let my body and my mind flow with the tide And ask the Lady of the Winds to be my bride Let the new world see a different man Under a new sign I'll be born again

Darkest pressure, tiny, vicious creatures lock my sight on you Guardian angels, please tell me what to do Falling on my knees I kiss the soil to feel the undertow Unfamiliar sounds burst out from far below Becoming the defenceless victim of my fantasy Gruesome thoughts and fears take control of me Drawn towards the startling grace of flowers from your charming face Have to close my eyes, escape this evil maze Day and night of dreams and fight A lonely cage to fill my grief, for ever drowned in fright Watch the shady harbour of tears The blackest nightfall of the year, the dagger must be near Creatures move their stunted limbs, My refugee, where are you now and off the white smoke swims Let's break out from this distant gloom Let's break out now, yes you are there, released from wicked doom Oh how I long for home Sour words so dark and deep You cited this sanctified poem More lonely miles ahead of sleep Our shared belief in fearful flight Fill my grief with bare delight The grace of the flower from your face These mending eyes I won't erase Passionate nights, tempestuous tides Just an ashy absence to my mind...

Tell me master, what I am What burden I should bear A tool of virtue in your hands Fulfill your darkest nightmare Cry for you Die for you Cry with pain Die... die, die in vain Reveal the secrets of your mastermind Show me your sign and light my way Tell me master, what you play Am I the pawn, a sentry In your game of chess, your mystic way To some day sacrifice me Cry for you Die for you Cry with pain Die in vain Return to me my pride See my lonely fight Guide me till I see the light So lead me to your secret paradise Hidden in the mists of time Rising to your kingdom in the skies Whispers from your mastermind Help me master, while I'm here Lead me to my redemption I stand alone in primal fear Our cities burn with tension Cry for you Die for you Cry with pain Die... die, die in vain So lead me to your secret paradise Hidden in the mists of time Lead me to your kingdom in the skies Whispers from your mastermind

Is this song not instrumental?

Lay your head down by the sea Waves are crashing over me When the tide comes in You will be in my mind Every certainty that crumbles in my hands Was I so blind ? Misbelief planted the seed In days we always disagreed Secrets roofed my fate You will be in my mind Visions in the dark A God without remorse Was left behind Oh God of all, please hear my prayer Merged in flows of cold despair A cry for help to my friend Forbidden colours, heaven-sent Skilled in habits how to hide Persisting in reflecting pride Come down to this soil You will be in my mind Let me feel your warmth The luster of your eyes Was I so blind? For some odd cause from far above Deprived of poise and courteous love

Dream, dream away Dance on the thread of reality A web of possibilities Caught in the light of dawn Soothing memories The heart is the fountain The mind shifts shape And leaves the body trembling Drifting through the shadows Dissolving into shades Of a blackened dark existence An unknown, untold past... Hand in the water The water of the wishing well Wrinkles turn to waves Like a butterfly and a hurricane Weaver of dreams Waiting for the seventh wave The wave of hope I lost my sense of time Fray of madness Fabric of time starts to rip on the edges Unravel at the fringes My demon's on the loose Fears that crush my dreams Caught up in my own anxiety Walls of repressed emotions Leading me round and round Looking for a way out of this labyrinth You were always there Ready to disentangle Free me from the halter I knotted it in my dreams Hands that search for grip Stirring the sands of time Caught up in my own anxiety Your hand was there Taking me by the shoulder Just before the dawn you broke the spell You were always there Ready to disentangle Free me from the halter I knotted it in my dreams Colours fade from the curtains Like a kaleidoscope of images projected On the walls that start to crumble Pressed into existence Tears bleeding from a picture frame A hand no longer there Your side of the bed cold A morning call left unspoken

I can't remember ecstasy, I could not comprehend She headed for the big escape, suffering till the end Grimness is your fate Destroy your blind hate The sense of daze from injury, the crypt of hidden fears Though bitter nights spent shivering, to fly from frozen tears Grimness is your fate Tear down your blind hate Your straight lies confound me, my wisdom is in vain Observe the storms displace, my screams are all in vain More fools dream at dawn Go down, you're my swan I'd like to think I know you Like I think I know myself You'd be forever part of me You'd be my other half We'd live our lives together Forever you and me Together we would rule the world And sail the seven seas We would go down the same road And share every dusty mile Each day we'd see the sun rise And kiss the morning with a smile But now you chose your own path And left this mortal place You're out of reach forever Leave only empty space
