The mist has covered my eyes And whispers of sleep in my ear The past has been swept off my hands But I still remember your name
So lull me to sleep in your arms Bestow your sweet kisses upon me 'Cause this love is all that I have And I'll never long for more
Not going home
Time floats and the worlds pass me by The air is thick and the moon has gone blind Mind set adrift and my feet touch no ground Banned from the dreamlands, I left all behind All is lost, it can't be found So weak here, I remember you I can never find my way back home
Not going home
2. He Who Longed For The Stars
He who longed for the stars They would soothe him In this painful world, no one is spared He who longed for the stars Their icy silence Frozen eyes, just frozen, ice in his words
Come down
Where's the reason? Who's to blame? Well, my darling love, you left just as unnoticed as you came
3. Sonatine For The Desired One
You make my blood boil You make me real You show me what my life could be
You make my eyes burst with stinging joy You chain me down and I am free
The time for laugh has gone by Now you should bow your head and cry Your smiling sins not forgiven I dive down into your pain And then you let me down again My smiling face is misgiven
I know you well enough
I don't think you should have come forth this way Feeling grows stronger every day Your appearace here might be the thing I need To get what I want Drag it out from you
Come closer, and I'll let go in your hands Spin me under Into the deadly trance From the deepest wish down to the major fear I'm bringing my death Life is more than near
Come feed me, and I will stop the tide Still the hunger tearing so inside Join the firedance and let yourself get burned No end to pleasure 'Till earth stops to turn
I kow you well enough
I don't think you should have come forth this way Feeling grows stronger every day Your appearance here From out of nowhere you have come So have your prize now Step inside
4. Lesser Times
I do recall that face I've done my best to wash you away But still your fingerprints on my skin And still your scent all over me
There's no more time to waste Now all these fine days are smothered and grey And I have never felt this low before And never will again
And I don't think it will work Leave me bleeding on your doorstep now Shelter the weakened souls from the ugly things in life Leave me bleeding alone
This time I really tried
5. Misty Sleep
See these bleeding hands that you left to dry Your garden is stolen, your flowers died Bow to your own deeds, bow down in shame May the woods have mercy on your soul
Let the water flow again Vapour rises in my eyes Shedding my tears on the water And watching them float into the fog
I sleep again Come the shadows, drown the whispers I dream away Know tomorrow, let the night fall
And the shame is mine alone Crawling into the deepest hole Curling up around the core with closed eyes and clenched fists And sinking down into my mindless rest
I sleep again Come the shadows, drown the whispers I dream away Know tomorrow, let the night fall
Some say there's a shining path to follow when dark days come But who needs that path when they're already here And your candle is drowning in the rain
When the night falls Misty sleep For the sad ones Misty sleep
