DREADFUL SHADOWS LYRICS

1. Crusade

2. Fall

Your burial garment - so fresh and, oh, so white
Your eyes are closed and on your face a smile
No trace of sorrows and your suffering
You're looking more alive than ever in your life

Fall - the morning comes

Forgotten are the reasons why you died
Forgotten all your screams, the tears you cried
No word about your courage, why it failed
The words could be sent to anyone but you

Fall - the morning comes

Dance with me until unconsciusness
You're in my arms
Times of pleasure return to reality
Your tears are dried
Die with me so irrevocably
I'm in your arms
Times of pleasure return to reality
Your tears are dried
Fall - your morning comes

3. The Figures Of Disguise

Awoke in darkness, my trembling hands are scarred
A brown crust on my fingernails
A sudden pain in my back reminds me of my dream last night

I'm close to you and take your hand
You trust in me but I wouldn't feel safe
A vampire's heart can't abstain from loving you to death

The marks on my wrist make me shiver
When I went to bed they weren't there
My shirt's torn apart, dried blood adorns the sleeves
I'm feeling empty inside

Murders at night
I freeze to death again
The urge will be victorious again
I'm burning once again
The figures of disguise

What happened last night? I can't remember
What have I done when I thought I'm asleep?
The wounds burn, a light wind brings relief - an irony

I look into your eyes, embrace your neck
A graceful sight, I'm choking more and more
Your fingernails furrow my skin
I smile - suddenly you are still

My desperation never comes to an end
I wash my hands and I'm mirrored
The shapeless face on my body smiles at me
My victim of last night

4. Ties Of Time

The rain soaks my apparels
The wind blow continuously, it's cold
A shelter is not visible
Protection seems to be out of reach

The severest way I had to go
The longest way I had to fall
Now all the ties are torn apart
I thought this is the end...

The moonlight is fragile
Like the coat of glass all around you
I often injured myself
The scars can not heal anymore

How often I collapsed when I desperately waited for a sign
All you ought to do was to free myself from my suffering and pain
Hopelessly I wander about in town
The scenes repeat time after time
I'm standing alone on the negative of the photograph of my life

Why is it only the worst I can feel?
Why can't I laugh and be glad, just like all of these fools?

The severest way I had to go
The longest way I had to fall
Now all the ties are torn apart
I thought this is the end...

The wind devastates all my thoughts - he can't blow them away
My eyelids are swollen, but what do I expect to see?

5. Craving

I walked along a boundless passage
It collapsed above my head
A cyclone sweeps me away
And avalanches plunge

A craving for delight - no remembrance
We're neither lost nor found

White walls hold me in chains
The axis got out of place
A child is dancing to the sound
Of detonating bombs

A craving for delight - no remembrance
We're neither lost nor found

A raging torrent pulls me down
And I don't attempt to hold my breath
The glass is shattering on the ground
It cuts into my skin, but no blood is pouring

A craving for delight - no remembrance
We're neither lost nor found

I see the children again
It smiles
It burns

6. The Soil

Shades are rising above my head
Voices whisper a name
A coat of ice is covering me
A breath of decay drifts away

"The soil is your father, don't try to escape
Give in our will and awake"

Paralyzed by agony
When bones broke through my skin
My splintering skull was the last thing I felt
I leave my mortal remains

"A spiral of darkness will lead to your home
Open the gate to that world
The soil is your father, don't try to escape
Give in our will and awake"

7. The Drowning Time

The bare wall is damp, a layer of mould is covering every joint
The pipes are leaking, it's dripping onto my ragged bed
Minutes seem to be days and days are years, so what am I waiting for? Too many
things have changed, too many words have lost their sense
The days will be mine when rivers rise
But now I'm stumbling on the edge of our life
The last words to the drowning sun
The light was bright enough to believe
That we could lose ourselves in feelings, but we failed
The last words to the drowning sun

Today I reached the door with my last ounce of strength
It was like opening secret gates to another world
The first time I've seen the sun again, since you passed away
My life without you can't be a life - a waste of time

The days will be mine when rivers rise
But now I'm stumbling on the edge of our life
The last words to the drowning sun
The light was bright enough to believe
That we could lose ourselves in feelings, but we failed
The last words to the drowning sun

8. Desolated Home

I watched the houses burn, a bloodstained kind of brightness
The last breath of grace and elegance is done
The dead are lugged away, but they won't find their silence
The verges fade, another time has begun

A better time will come they say to reassure themselves
Another day will bring the light - but they are ignorant
In the cradle of their carelessness
Burning flesh, burning skin
Another raindrop burns their loathsome eyes.

The diaries are blank, they went too far
They can't return to their desolated homes
No life anymore in the rooms of the girl who lived next door
Desolated home

I watched the houses burn, the trees were full of ashes
Just like snowflakes darken the sky
No better time will come they know
The truth becomes certainty
They won't see the sun, they won't feel the light - no more

The loss of insincerity
The loss of humand souls

The diaries are blank, they went too far
They can't return to their desolated homes
No life anymore in the rooms of the girl who lived next door
Desolated home

9. Burning The Shrouds

A strange request followed this call
For the darkening of every light, suffocation of every cry
Bells of death started to play
Depreciation of time, the explanation of lies

Drowning words can't promise delight
The years of secrecy are gone
Trembling hands call for a Lord
The inversion of time, the realization of lies

Burning the shrouds
Of your illuminated souls
It's the embers under our feet
The trails of blood lead me to your shrine
It fades away

Freezing blood under my skin
The futility of efforts, obedience subverts the reason
Words descend into a haze
The inversion of time, depreciation of lies

Burning the shrouds
Of your illuminated souls
It's the embers under our feet
The trails of blood lead me to your shrine
It fades away

10. Beyond The Maze

It's a sea of thoughts where I will drown
The diary of my life is burnt
I can't pretend, can't drive your face away
Your intimate voice is dumb

I'll always see your wistful eyes
The tears you cried will never dry
Every word you said comes back again
Spread your wings and fly

Dance with my shade
Like the leaves in that stormy night you passed away

All my zest for life is gone
The scenes of yesterdays will never fade
Too many words are left unsaid
I'll spread my wings to be with you

Dance with my shade
Like the leaves in that stormy night you passed away
