1. Prologue

Vitae At Threscwald Anachoreta in Mortem

2. The Endless Dance

[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 haev 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_

3. Requiem Ex Sidhe

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?"

4. Goodbye To Jane

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

5. Baleias

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!

6. Her Orphaned Throne

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...

7. Descending Messiah

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 full of bliss and joy
until the day the gaunt one appeared
He never smiled nor shed any fear!

And he raised his voice "Behold I'm Messiah!"
It was then _She_ knew the time had come!
A dream? A dream?
It's only a dream!
A dream? A dream?
_She_ lives in my dream

The man, he spoke of commandments and sin
of wicked wifes, of chaste and virtious 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 the _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
to snake 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,
formented 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 dark, _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
Armagideon 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 neath 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

and he raised his voice...
