AVATARIUM LYRICS

1. Moonhorse

Oh mother
Are there horses on the moon?
I saw them last night
Through the looking glass tube

One horse was red
The other was blue
Running and rolling
Where the moonflowers bloom

Oh mother
Are there tigers in the sea?
Tumbling and swimming
Like dolphins, they breathe

Happy and graceful
At the bottom of the sea
Playing like children
And they look just like me

Oh mother
Are there fish in the trees?
Casting their fire
Eating the leaves

Through the window i saw them
Flying so free
But I am in here
How can this be?

Oh mother
Is there life here beyond?
A place in the clouds
After i'm gone

Where I can paint
Play and belong
Sing with my friends
And they're singing along

There's a crack in the window
An open door
There's a place in the hollow
Across the moor

I see the end of the morning
My dying fear
It's the eternal dawning
Oh, take me there

Oh mother
Are there horses on the moon?
I saw them last night
Through the looking glass tube

One horse was red
The other was blue
Running and rolling
Where the moonflowers bloom

Oh mother
Are there tigers in the sea?
Tumbling and swimming
Like dolphins, they breathe

Happy and graceful
At the bottom of the sea
Playing like children
And they look just like me

I feel the teardrops falling
I hear the moonhorse calling
I see the black moon rivers
To the night I'm given

2. Pandora's Egg

Listen to what mama said
Death they buried inside the egg
Long ago when time was young

Deep down under mountain old
Lies all sickness of the world
Never touch what should not
Be touched
Never go where you should not go
Never heal what should not be healed

Why does it rain all the time?
Doomsday omen...
And everything just starts to crack
Pandora's egg... is black!
In the dungeons... poison bleeds...
Frost and fire
Into the bloodstream of the
Human seed...

To crush empires
And you will set it free...
You will let it loose...

Egg of evil
Door to darkness
The gate is open
The seal is broken

The gods, they filled the egg so full
With wickedness, with cold and cruel
With everything that makes us cry
All our sins, they breed and grow
Like a never-ending stream they flow
Into our hearts, and slowly we die
Inside our hearts, slowly we die
In my heart... I die inside...

3. Avatarium

Here inside the holy...
My private sanatorium
East of Lynx and Lyra...
And left of Aquarius
A secret spot, a shrine...
My own little pantheon
A place of temptation...
So I can go beyond
(So I can carry on)

Avatarium

The smallest room can be...
A giant Colosseum
Here inside my frontal...
Lobe cerebrum
It's a sanctuary...
A magic falsarium
Where I create the
Greatest mysterium

Avatarium

It's my asylum, my great auditorium
Where I drink the lifeblood
Plan the rebellion
Here's my mausoleum
The subbasement wonder room
4 silver stallions, a road to
Pandemonium
So many voices inside my head...

Avatarium

They speak of the living
They speak of the dead...

Avatarium
I am among friends, or am I misled?

Avatarium

I drink to you with a bleeding heart
I call for you when my heart is scarred
I need your love in the darkly hours
You are all, my avatars

4. Boneflower

In skull forest shadows hang
Same old story, love is blind
Fools and beggars, kings and priests
A thousand corpses look like leaves

Come in pairs, share the wish
They go like one after cold last kiss
Dark-boned bodies from the trees
Have passed the door to the after-life meet

In skull forest light has fled
Oh, boneflower adorns the dead

From the branches lovers hang
One way trip to the promised land
Side by side and hand in hand
Nobody knows if dreams were found

In skull forest light has fled
Oh, boneflower adorns the dead

In skull forest the brave they hang
The ones that lost or the ones that won
To nurse the dream, to go or stay?
If you have a heart you go all the way

5. Bird Of Prey

There he is, man in masque...
Human bird of prey
Like the plague he elevates
From the sewers of decay
Sharpened claws, noble face...
Impeccable facade
Merciless and grim;
The bird of prey

Fog and night, Berlin square...
A demon in the street
The czar of blood appears
With a tongue so black and sweet
Crooked smile, a butcher's knife...
A crying moon betrays
Who is there to save you
From the bird of prey?

A bed of roses and glass...
Winter months they pass
I'm drowning like a little girl in May
A sharp smell of Cologne
I'm dying here alone
Is all this beauty just for me?

6. Tides Of Telepathy

Thoughts bound and concentrated
Burning like pyres
Opens new windows
In space and time

Magnified energy
A radiating brain
Dark electricity
My mind screams with pain

Uncharted powers
So beyond my control
Sending out signals
To a parallel world

White noise invasion
A vortex of amber
Wipes out the enemy
From my telepathic chamber

Tides of telepathy
Wave after wave
Psychic technology
Who are you?

Ancient machinery
Pulses released
Goes through the
Airwaves
Psychic war

Oh can you hear me?
I'm left here alone
Anybody out there?
My mind's shutting down

7. Lady In The Lamp

In the darkly fade
She gives a serenade
Lifts the clouds away
Stars around her face

Her light, it fills the room
The wizard in his gloom
Enchanted... In her cage
She sings before the mage

It is late, but she's awake...
And the silver curtain fell
Her eyes, never cries...
In a tower full of spells

40 magic nights and 40 magic days
Without a word
The orchestra they play

She smiles and sings
In a state of trance
She knows her life will end
When the last chord dies

Lady in the lamp
Trapped inside a prison made of glass
Gives her little dance in
The Necromancer's hand
Lady in the lamp
