Nebular Moon

Ki-aga-bi na-nam ki-aga-bi na-nam
Is wrapped in a black robe
en e-kur-ra ki-aga-bi na-nam
Whispers lost and ancient phrases
ni-nam sa-ge al-da-ga-za
To open his mind
ni-kal-kal-la sa-ge-gara-za

The red coach is lowed by the lion with speed
The prince who is kneeing, a symbol of fire, you see
The Phoenix expresses certainty and power
He touches the dimensioins of ordinary life
Black and white are two symbols of dualism
The high priest is able to divide them and mix together
He is the keeper of the key to the twilight kingdom
And he observes the laws of the four creatures

Mind of the lion
Thoughts of the eagle
Imagination of the soul
Feelings of the calf

[Gates of Experience Part II]

The sleeple towers over the cloud cover
Reaching unknown levels of knowledge
The battlements appear threatening
I walk through the gate of imagination

For step by step
I reach new levels
The sun turns black
I reach the top

A pedestal towers over a sea of rain
I'm draining the cap of sorrow to the last

The sleeple towers over the cloud cover
Reaching unknown levels of knowledge
The battlements appear threatening
I walk through the gate of imagination

The soul is downcasted
The cup is overcrowded
Too many occurences
Have taken place



2. Chapter II - " Dust Of Transience"

[Lyrics: Darius Widera]

[My Cold Eternity]

Now eternity is taking my soul
And I feel like I'm Fozen alive
In my heart, there is only keenly emptiness
My blood is yet again like red, cold ice
I, I'm the last one in this cage
Dying for your child for human race

Now I'm seeing your sin my god
You are the liar of all those past years
Night, it was your only destiny
I wish that I die alone, without your heed
Let my soul pass away
I don't need your grace - I won't serve
I don't want to survive in your world of lies
I'm not your slave, I'm Antichrist

Fall, fall again from grace
Into burning fields of truth
Fallin' down, on earth
Without hope in blind eyes

Now I'm seeing myself in a buried world
Silent screams I hear deep inside my soul
Freezing dreams come true in my pitch-dark night
From my barren land you can hear me cry
I remember the time which has passed away
And I feel, that I don't want to return

Time of my law is born - I'm your heir to the throne
Hear my complaint - I will rise from my grave
Dawn of my lordship you see, your kingdom is blown away
Pay for your treasons now - You will be mine

[Schwanengesang]

Ein Hauch all der Jahre, die er gehen sah
Verwische im Nebel der Zeit, die zu Staub zerfiel
Verfremdet die Tage, einst so warm und klar
Verblutend, verblassend - ihrem Ziel so nah

Erhort seine letze Klage- sicht sein sterbend Haupt

Verwirkte Ionen, so sinnlos, blfs und leer
Einst atmend und fuhlaend, nun einsam, greis und nacht
In farblosen Schatten versunken und erstarrt
Das Schwanenlied oergebens - kein Lohn, kein Ruhm, nar Leid

Fausend Jahre Regen, kein Frost im finster' Schmerz
Erloschene Sonnen, eisig schreit der Wind
Ein flugelloser Rabe nagt am Lebenssinn
Durch Kalte gefangen, fern von Ramm und Zeit
Schaa nun zuruck, spur' dein sinnlos' :eid
Durchbohrt von Menschheits Schwert
War es das alles wert?

Ein Hauch all der Jahre, die er gehen sah
Verwische im Nebel der Zeit, die zu Staub zerfiel
Verfremdet die Tage, einst so warm und klar
Verblutend, verblassend - ihrem Ziel so nah
Erhort seine letze Klage- sicht sein sterbend Haupt

Verwirkte Ionen, so sinnlos, blfs und leer
Einst atmend und fuhlaend, nun einsam, greis und nacht
In farblosen Schatten versunken und erstarrt
Das Schwanenlied oergebens - kein Lohn, kein Ruhm, nar Leid



3. Chapter III - "Castle Of Oblivion"

[Lyrics: Ingo Haltermann]

[Dark Angel]

My eyes are closed but I can see you coming
Without a sound I can hear your longing sigh
My skin awaits your aching kiss on my neck
I'm awaiting you, my dark angel

So take my hand with your bloody claws
Let us fade away on raven's wings
To take the great emptiness beyond the sky
The castle of silence, my dark angel

All the fears made my brain rotting
And slowly till infinity
I'm drifting into insanity
But I know that you will come

Come to drink me red wine from me
Take it with my sorrows
I'm longing for your bloody kiss
Do not leave me alone, my dark angel

My eyes wide open, I perceive your shadow
I open my lips for my last cry
Open your eyes, it is just a dream
When will you come, my dark angel?

Take the aching cry from my lips
The silence of oblivion is what I wish
Heal my wounds with your gift
Show me eternity, my dark angel

[Beyond the Sky]

When I walked through the gates of oblivion
Screams of the forgotten died in my ears
And the voice of silence started to cry
Welcome the great emptiness - beyond the sky

Hands of despair seized my heart
When I fell into the eternal darkness
The corridors of timelessness
Squeezed my conciousness - beyond the sky

I passed the door of no return
And the wind whispered a requiem
In empty throne covered by frost
In the castle of sadness - beyond the sky

And when I ascended the ancient throne
I felt everlasting emptiness
And as my brain starts rotting
I saw eternity - far beyond the sky



4. Chapter IV - "Dark Dormant Desires"

[Lyrics: Markus Esch]

[An Erotic Nightmare]

The moon has risen, a symbol of Eden
The stars are sparkling in the sky
Her dark eyes wrap up my mind
This indian girl is a symbol of love

Well-rounded breasts
And her red lips

I desire her body, which is fine like a lotus bloom
It seems to be that she poisons my feelings
Love under will - is the only law!
The fair sex has me in its power

I feel her naked body in my arms
Her bloody lips kiss my neck
I feel the warmth of my sweet goddess

Feelings like flying in the sky
My heart pounds like a thunderstorm
Her skin is glowing like red-hot metal
The sensitive atmosphere spreeads out

Sitting on the back of a lion
Lifting the holy grail into the height
Sorrounded by several snakes
The symbol of streeength and lust

Awaking of this dream, she shows me her true nature
An odl hag who poisoned my sense
Face her pale lips above my head
She is just a portrait of death!
Now I feel her cold numb body
I cover the corpse into its shroud
My desires were stronger than my senses
I lost the control of my mind
