ATARGATIS LYRICS

1. Desert

[Instrumental]

2. Wasteland

Dryness fell over the land of Man,
For they have turned the landscape by their wasting hand.
Dried up earth and only fruitless soil,
Every look you take shows that they have lost control.

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand,
only bare feet left, that walk on.

Wretched creatures in former times called Man
Try to hide their knotty limbs from the burning sun.
They are naked, their skin is like parchment,
still wandering to discover fertile land.

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand,
only bare feet left, that walk on.

"Tell us the way out of this odyssey.
Fill the oasis for you are the water's heir!
Forgive the destruction for our fathers 've failed.
Don't turn our quest into an infinite, wrong way!"

No one's left to continue mankinds trace,
That marked the land so unpardonably,
The seekers lose the last human domain,
Evolution will wipe out their pace!

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand
only bare feet left, that walk on.

I can't hear you anymore, my patience is lost.
You are the sons of hate, for your fathers failed.

Be at least as wise to give up and let
Nature heal itself without your destructiveness!

3. Selina (Widow Of The Moon)

Tormented souls mark her rise.
For as they mold through a dark, lonely sigh
Into a glow

Who's not enchanted by the trembling light,
Selina's moon is sending to the earth?
See her, walk side by side,
the widow leads you into the night.

Who's not enchanted by the fateful sound,
Her voice gets through your innermost part.
See her, walk side by side,
the widow leads you into the night.
Feel no warmth in her veins,
only the lust for your life beats in her heart.

The moonrays are wandering over the waves,
They follow her footpath into the sea.
Selina - bright widow of the pale moon
Selina's darkness may embrace you soon.

See her, walk side by side,
the widow leads you into the night.
Feel no warmth in her veins,
only the lust for your life beats in her heart.

Selina - follow her into the night
Selina's face is so pale but so bright
Selina's shadows are floating through the night
Selina's hair catch the silver moonlight
Selina's face is so pale but so bright
Selina - follow her into the night, into the night

4. Thy Crystallic Ascension

The tears the heaven cries
Drop down to the earth
And take with them a spark of life!

While they are falling,
they melt into the sea,
where his mortal body lies.

"Ascend and spread your wings
to find back to the cheerful
heart that you belong to.

Ascend and you will feel the glory,
as now your tears of life
pour into the sea"

One of this myriad tears
Brought him back to his life.
And a flash went through his limbs.

He absorbed the
ascending essence of the light,
And his bright silhouette arised.

"Arise, ascend and spread your wings
to find back to the cheerful
heart that you belong to.

"Ascend and you will feel the glory,
as now your tears of life
pour into the sea"

5. Cradle Of Fern

The source said "life",
the morning spring
gave its "existence".
The wind offered its "breath"

A sparkle descended
formed a bundle of "life"
that carries all hope inside.

The bundle of life flew together in the child.
Nature gave its best as a present
Nature gave its best as a present

Fed by promising fruits,
Stroll along green rivers,
was covered by nightwings.

Competed against the thorns,
Was taught by perils limits.
The willowtree's arm saved his steps.

Listen to us, my child, you shall be called:
"Offspring Of All Hope"

Now, sleep well, carefully swayed in the
"Cradle of fern"
Develop your mind - for natures' spirit!

Expectant watched the moon,
Played tricks with twinkling stars,
Gazed to fires spirit.

Took on the breeze tongue,
Greeted innocent blossoms,
And listened to streams whisper.

Sang lovesongs with nighttime birds,
Kept silence with the fish,
Was pleased with deers offspring.

Was domiciled in the forests clearing.
Carefully raised his
Hand to touch the sky.

Washed his heart purely
in the natures fountain.
Watched his face on the lakes skin,

Grew up by the suns prudence,
Was pacified by waters balance,
his open mind arised.

6. Through The Mists Of Oblivion

Fall into the mists of oblivion.
Dive through the sea of oblivion.

Upon a wish I crawl, upon a will I call to thee
Upon the might I fall and shall not belong in here

Lay your body down, the moon will save your soul.
Fall through the mists of oblivion.

Sleep in the mists
Inhale their scent so mystic
Weep upon immenseness
Shivering beneath the tears shed

Upon a wish I crawl, upon a will I call to thee
Upon the might I fall and shall not belong in here

Melt into the one
The unexpected is to come
As massive tides descend upon us
A new era has begun in here

Awakening the force
Bound to propel this process forth,
Bound to unleash this sacred scent
The loss of somethin innocent it has born.

Hear the winds silently whispering,
Fear of unborn entities revealed, with frozen eyes they stared at you
Far too long the tides are turning, the night is burning
With frozen eyes they stared at you

Upon a wish I crawl, upon a will I call to thee
Upon the might I fall and I shall not return to the ruins left in here

7. 4Giving

You are leaving - never giving,
Take only anger with you.

You're fearing - not forgiving;
At least have to run away, run away!

[1. Str. :]
You are fortuned when life elected you,
It will surround your soul.
Feels like a little kiss
Of a gentle breeze.

So lay down
your heavy coats and move on within its covering,
When fortune touched you
And carries you along.

You are leaving - never giving,
Take only anger with you.

You're fearing - not forgiving;
At least have to run away, run away!

[2. Str.]
Move on fortuned;
beware its kiss on your cheek.
So loose all
burden from your soul

And seize the chance
That life may give you to open you the right way.
When fortune touched you
And carries you along.

8. My Solace

Be sorrowless - you may find your solace in Them.
Feel carefree - and don't hide your despairing face in your hands.

Be sorrowless - don't bury your memories beside Them
Feel carefree - and you may
follow Their sacred path, follow Their pace.

A shiver is running down your spine
as They walk beside of you, but they can't be seen.
They take all harm away, like you are in mothers arm,
watch every step you take and keep fortune apart.

They expect no word of grace to dignate all Their care.
Just on the other side we'll recognize
Their loved faces as the familiar ones
of our beloved dears, we've lost in life.

Be sorrowless-In their embrace you'll be able
to guard your nearest, and now they can find their solace in you!

9. Circle Of Life

Born as a workman in Metropolis,
He touched the circle of life.
Lost his love by a convition of adultery,
Hurted the circle of life, and try to awake the arcane mights.

Deep under she heard him yearning to the gods,
She hoped for a sign of life.
Discovered a weak ray that his spell cutted through the night
And seized this rope of life.

"Oh, my maid, I will promise you
I will speak the final spell
To return you from the underworld
where you dwell!"

"I'll raise your limbs into your sun,
praying: "Hades, please, give her free!
So the other hand you'll get in return
Will be mine!"

Led her to the river Acheron, where Charon shippes
The souls that have paid for life.
With a wink he invited her to come on board:
"I've already been paid to bring you back to your life"

10. Angels Crying

Love, regret, fear and hate,
All these emotions never will fade.

Hear, they are calling from the other side.
"And are wondering, Just who we are, With eyes so full of pride

Pain is to bleed as the worn flesh decays
Life torn apart - the end's on its way

Never let this happen, hear the angels crying!

In darkest blood, through despair left concealed
Suffer unfilled dreams out of wounds never healed

Never let this happen, hear the angels crying!

Force fed by chaos, erupting disease
Fragments of scattered realities.

You have never thought about losing your soul.

Forlorn souls echo through visions surreal.
Stifled hoarse cries with salvation's last tear.

And now you've found it out, you are lying on the ground.
At one cold dark night, no stars glittering,
Lost souls whimper with fright and voices are singing.

In the ashes of a tortured world they cease to be.
Emerging from the ashes in a fatal sympathy.
And for the last time hear them scream in neverending pain.
The mightiest wings even cannot escape hell's wrathful flame.

Fed by human arrogance, no regard to nature,
They trusted in manmade hate and abused their earthen life.

Now their loud cries echo through the night,
While they beg for remission by the spherical might.
No one will to forgive this hate bred misery.
And the angels are still crying, their eyes are full of tears.

11. Eden

[Instrumental]
