1. Impetus

2. My Paradise

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, July 2006]

I stranded somewhere, where I don't want to be.
Heat makes me blind now I cannot see,
the exit of this labyrinth.

I'm caught in a nightmare, surrounded by fools
and at least I am forced to play by their rules.
A golden cage in a lonely place!

After the rain there will be sunshine, so they say...
Where is the storm, which will hunt those clouds away?
I will not wait until tomorrow
So I move on, further

Away -- To where I will stay.
The place of my dreams is my own little paradise.
(Far away)
To where I will stay.
The place of my dreams is my own little paradise.

Smoke spitting factories covers the south.
Headache comes daily and dust in my mouth.
A dark place made of greedy might!

Some monsters of metal are passing the streets.
Managers are acting with dirty deeds.
Yeah, I know that I do not fit in.

After the rain there will be sunshine, so they say...
Where is the storm, which will hunt those clouds away?
I will not wait until tomorrow
So I move on, further

Away -- To where I will stay.
The place of my dreams is my own little paradise.
(Far away)
To where I will stay.
The place of my dreams is my own little paradise.

3. Land Of Silence

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, April 2007]

The sun is setting down,
another rainy night alone,
so far from home.

This land is caught in silence.
The fear of losing you-
it keeps me restless, keeps me going on.

Whatever you feel, whatever you dream-
My heart is still burning, the flame's alive...
...is alive!

In the land of silence, I'm on my journey through the dark.
In the land of silence, I'm here to save the light of life.

The evil is hunting me,
spitting fire, dust and hate,
but it is not my fate.

On the wings of silent hope,
I'm on my way to find the road back home-
guided by your star.

Whatever you feel, whatever you dream-
My heart is still burning, the flame's alive...
...is alive!

In the land of silence, I'm on my journey through the dark.
In the land of silence, I'm here to save the light of life.

4. Carry On

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, January 2007]

The night is falling down,
your bleeding heart seems to be broken
'cause no one's there.
Where's this veil of light that guides you?
Where's the shining star that lights your way
back home one day.

Just take a look up to the sky,
take a breath and fly so high.
No one's alone -- you should not cry!

Carry on -- you're not the only one.
The future's in the air, so please don't care!
Carry on -- you're not the only one.
The future's in the air, so please don't care!

A kind of empty silence,
shattered hopes are hunting through your dreams-
nothing's what it seems.
Where's the one who can save your heart now?
Where's the one who'll share the life with you-
to help you through.

Just take a look up to the sky,
take a breath and fly so high.
No one's alone -- you should not cry!

Carry on -- you're not the only one.
The future's in the air, so please don't care!
Carry on -- you're not the only one.
The future's in the air, so please don't care!

5. Twilight Hall

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, 2004 / 2005]

My parents they've taught me right from wrong.
All these years they've made me strong.
But this is a fight I cannot win!
Am I a fool who lives in sin?

If you will leave there's empty space.
Why do we live to fall from grace?
Father I wish your wounds could heal,
by the force of my steel.

And I've never felt the rain as cold as tonight,
the candle burned out, delivered from all the pain.

At the twilight hall- we will meet again.
At the twilight hall- no, no more pain.
At the twilight hall- to reach new goals.
And I'll wear your memory drawn on my soul.

Mother I swear, I will be there.
The knight that my father's proud to see.
My senses are weak but I will fight,
since the dead met us tonight....

And I've never felt the rain as cold as tonight,
the candle burned out, delivered from all the pain.

At the twilight hall- we will meet again.
At the twilight hall- no, no more pain.
At the twilight hall- to reach new goals.
And I'll wear your memory drawn on my soul.

Drawn in flames, your sign on my skin.
I will not rest and in the end we'll win.

6. Turn Away

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, 24.12.2003]

[Merlin:]
A traveller through time am I, so close to the edge.
My heart weights heavy and my soul cries in a cage.
I believe in you, o king, whatever fate will be,
follow just your heart into eternity.

[Artus:]
You have taught me, how to judge wise.
You have forced me, to end up with all lies.
And in my darkest hour, I will trust, in your mighty words.

[Guinevere:]
My love, my king, will never die, there ain't no reason why,
to turn away, to turn away, to turn away

[Merlin:]
As the dragon breaths that fateful night,
I have seen our fate.
Still I try to change things I saw, but I know it's late.
I am hunting demons of the past and
know about the quest,
my soul will never die, never die at last!

[Artus:]
You have taught me, how to judge wise.
You have forced me, to end up with all lies.
And in my darkest hour, I will trust, in your mighty words.

[Guinevere:]
My love, my king, will never die, there ain't no reason why,
to turn away, to turn away, to turn away

[Merlin:]
So we're sitting here in Camelot,
our hearts full filled with pride,
I will never lose these memories,
when I'll turn away from your side.

[Guinevere, Merlin, Artus:]
To turn away, to turn away, to turn away

7. Old Man's Memories

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, June 2007]

Another dream has turned into a nightmare
and now he can not sleep.
It's just like every night, the past is hunting him
since he fought senseless wars.

A million faces marching through his brain.
Crushing bones and screams makes him insane.

Lost in silence,
tyrant leaders blow his mind.
Acts of violence,
broke his will so long ago.
But there is a glow in the old man's eyes.
"Don't turn away my son; our journey has just begun (has just begun...)
let's fly on broken wings into the sun!!"

A trip into his soul seems like a rise across
a sea of blood and tears.
Any little louder noise keeps scaring him until the
day he closes his eyes.

A million faces marching through his brain.
Crushing bones and screams makes him insane.

Lost in silence,
tyrant leaders blow his mind.
Acts of violence,
broke his will so long ago.
But there is a glow in the old man's eyes.
"Don't turn away my son; our journey has just begun (has just begun...)
let's fly on broken wings into the sun!!"

8. Watching You

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, September 2007]

They come along with their designed lies
in the name of right and protection.
Corruptionists with their hearts in their wallets
and eyes blinded by their might.

They hear your calls and answer your phone,
they're even ready to build your clone.
A cam is spying trough your doors lock
to film even when you fuck!!

It's in your room!
It's at your work!
Big brother's watching you!!

Collecting movies in their databases
like an own private video store.
They know your name and they know your wife
it's a silent control of your life.

It's in your room!
It's at your work!
Big brother's watching you!!

9. Jester In The Ballroom

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, January 2006]

He's joking on the world's sobriety,
the sweetest melodies he sings.
He's from urbane serenity,
an evil smile in naïve eyes.

Lost all alone,
he's hunting your deepest fears and hurts,
far away, far away from your soul.

The jester in the ballroom.
Makes you laugh and sing.
The crowd in the ballroom,
just like puppets on a string.

Religions lost in our twilight world,
we're on the quest for some light.
The jester smiles as he feels,
the pain to take away from us.

Lost all alone,
he's hunting your deepest fears and hurts,
far away, far away from your soul.

The jester in the ballroom.
Makes you laugh and sing.
The crowd in the ballroom,
just like puppets on a string.

10. Black Swan

[Words & Music by Markus Winkler, September 2007]

"CUM DIE SEPTIMA IN MENSE SEPTIMO LUNA
ANTE SOLEM MOVEBIT.
AQUAE DIVIDEBUNTUR ET HORROREM
EMITTEBUND E TENEBRIS ABYSSIS.
NIHIL ENIM INULTUM RESTAT."

A storm comes closer from the north.
An icy breath of death and fear
is howling through this cloudy night.

Lightning strikes and thunder,
a roaring force of darkness breaks
the waves and sets its sails again.

Once upon a long time ago
we led a frightening legion of pirates at war.
Our master sold our souls
straight to the conquerors to fill his treasure chest.

Slaughtered for cheap gold,
counter-sunk and sold,
we rise again to seek revenge!

I am the helms man of the black swan.
The sunken fear of the oceans
rises again from its deep wet grave.
Vengeance for the undead souls of the black swan.

In front of the northern shores
the master has abandoned the ship to save his bloody soul.
Surrounded by aggressive fleets
there was no way out, we're damned to die alone.

Slaughtered for cheap gold,
counter-sunk and sold,
we rise again to seek revenge!

I am the helms man of the black swan.
The sunken fear of the oceans
rises again from its deep wet grave.
Vengeance for the undead souls of the black swan.

"...NIHIL ENIM INULTUM RESTAT."

The master's safe no longer.
Our quest will not end until
we cage his soul into his mouldy chest...
