ELIS LYRICS

1. Core Of Life

May my tears come falling down at night
Somehow I'll stand up and wipe them aside!

Silence in me -- only my pain beats loud
Shivering -- inner peace broken down
Fear is crawling to the core
But there is a light glowing

Keeping me alive
Inspiring every cell to fight

May my tears come falling down at night
Somehow I'll stand up and wipe them aside
The more the body suffers
The more the soul comes to life
I feel it comes alive, ending endless night

Body tightened -- trying to be strong
Not a hero -- just trying to hold on
Outside worlds fade but inside
A new found core gives me strength

Keeping me alive
(The body's fading -- healing me)
Inspiring every cell to fight

My heart is beating loud...

May my tears come falling down at night
Somehow I'll stand up and wipe them aside
The more the body suffers
The more the soul comes to life
I feel it comes alive, ending endless night

Please end this endless night!

2. Twinkling Shadow

Your desire is religion
And I lead your mind towards my aim

Lust lies his lips will tell
Seems to be your wishing well
See his smile and in his hands you will give your soul

I abuse your innocent nescience
Your believe pumps power through my veins

But just keep in mind
The twinkling shadow in his mind
(Twinkling shadow)
There -- a scar remained from the truth
He tries to turn inside
(Twinkling shadow)
I know, I know, it's so easy to be blind
(Twinkling shadow)
But please never forget about
The twinkling shadow in his mind
(Twinkling shadow)

Doom!
What he tells to your minds is what you want to hear
He knows what you're wishing, and tightens all your fears
Your weakness gives power to his seducing lies
He takes you and turns you until you fit his plans

I'm the answer to all your craving
Autonomy erased for the masses' "welfare"

But just keep in mind
The twinkling shadow in his mind
(Twinkling shadow)
There -- a scar remained from the truth
He tries to turn inside
(Twinkling shadow)
I know, I know, it's so easy to be blind
(Twinkling shadow)
But please never forget about
The twinkling shadow in his mind
(Twinkling shadow)

But just keep in mind
The twinkling shadow in his mind
(Twinkling shadow)
There -- a scar remained from the truth
He tries to turn inside
(Twinkling shadow)
I know, I know, it's so easy to be blind
(Twinkling shadow)
But please never forget about
The twinkling shadow in his mind
(Twinkling shadow)

...shadow in his eye
...shadow in his eye
...shadow in his eye

3. Warrior's Tale

Come with me...
Through time...
Through a whisper...

This is the land of all magic
This is the warrior's tale
Lost in eternal madness

The lives that I have ended
With a flash of the blade I lead
Have cursed the star that guides me
And darkness fell on me

Dark ones I swore to
Exhausted were my dreams
Now life is unravelling
The last battle inside me!

Weak is my hand
Tired is my mind
The death is my mind
The death knew sings for me
Oh please hold my hand
For no more life I can see
The was that was so clear
Now is hidden in the sea
Of the sorrow I spilled
May death now guard on me...

The eyes of all the slaughtered
They're hunting me by night
A fallen mother's sadness
Hurts deeper than sword strikes

And though my body's armour
Resisted fire and hate
My soul is dying slowly -- fading away...

The last battle inside me!

Weak is my hand
Tired is my mind
The death is my mind
The death knew sings for me
Oh please hold my hand
For no more life I can see
The was that was so clear
Now is hidden in the sea
Of the sorrow I spilled
May death now guard on me...

Fire breeze...

Weak is my hand
Tired is my mind
The death is my mind
The death knew sings for me
Oh please hold my hand
For no more life I can see
The was that was so clear
Now is hidden in the sea
Of the sorrow I spilled
May death now guard on me...
Return with me...
Through time...
Through a whisper...

4. Des Lebens Traum, des Traumes Leben

[Dedicated to Sabine Dünser]

Ihr Schlaf is fest ihr Geist bebt
Im dunkel nur der Wind sich regt
Doch tief in ihrem Herz da fühlt sie leirs'
Die Mächte toben

Das Leben
(Sprich mit der Nacht, den ihr Dunkel ist licht
Rufe den Traum der das Lebeb zerbricht)
Ist nur ein Traum der Morgen es in Stücke bricht
(Wenn deine Seele dann endlich erwacht
Endet des Lebens sonnenhelle Nacht)

Komm mächt'get Traum zum Leben
Erhöre mein Fleh'n!

Und alles anders wird sie sehn
Nun da ein Traum ihr strahlend schön
Reichte die Hand und lud zum Leben ein
So lieblich rufend

Die Sonne
(Tanze den Tans der für immer beginnt
Singe das Lied nun das niemals verklingt)
Versengt die zarten Traüme die du nachts gewebt
(Und wenn de fühlst dass dein Tag ist getan
Schließdu die Augen und schreitest voran)
Komm mit mir
(In deiner Welt blendet dich nur der Schein
Fühlst dich so leer, birgst nur Kummer und Leid)
In eine Welt wo sich die Selle frei bewegt
(Hier bist do groß, hier bist du ein Gedicht.
Traüm nun voran in das ewige Licht ja!)

Komm mächt'get Traüm zum Leben
Erhör' mein Fleh'n!
Spann deine edlen Schwingen
Und trag mich dahin

Oh -- sieh das Flackern der Traum
Durchbricht das Tages tristes ich
Oh -- schlafe ein und erwache
In des Lebens neuem ich

Das Nichts... zerbricht!!!
Komm mächt'get Traüm zum Leben
So strahlend schön
Spann deine edlen Schwingen
Und trag mich dahin

Komm mächt'get Traüm zum Leben
Erhör' mein Fleh'n!

5. I Come Undone

[JENNIFER RUSH cover]

6. Firefly

I'm a dreamer
I long for holy lands
Wings of dragons
And unicorns that guide my way

I've always believed that magic lies within our minds
(Fairies whisper in the trees, waiting for the night!)
I just close my eyes
Embracing the power of life
(My soul dances with the swarm of the fireflies)

I'm alive, breath in the light
(The fire flies!)
Let life's lightning hit my sleep
(The fire flies!)
Gimme hope, gimme dreams
Tears, love and fears
All my life I longed to see the fireflies

I've always believed that what we are
Is more than we can see
(Unseen bounds are weaved between all the living wights!)
The mystery worlds surround us
There's so much more to be
(My soul dances with the swarm of the fireflies!)

I'm alive, breath in the light
(The fire flies!)
Let life's lightning hit my sleep
(The fire flies!)
Gimme hope, gimme dreams
Tears, love and fears
All my life I longed to see the fireflies

I'm alive, breath in the light
(The fire flies!)
Let life's lightning hit my sleep
(The fire flies!)
Gimme hope, gimme dreams
Tears, love and fears
All my life I longed to see the fireflies

7. Morning Star

Temptation:
My mass grows endlessly
Beauty there is to see
But I'm abused, there is no clarity
Defaced what I might be
Defined the grace in me
The sleeping beast throws shadows towards me

Aeon:
The untaught world in silence sleeps
While night and day embrace so deep
Between the line of dawn and dark
Embedded -- a threat waiting for a spark

Fate:
The tears I cry are endlessly
The sorrow I saw burns so eternally
They call on me, no mercy though
For there's no remorse for the fallen ones

Temptation:
There's no light in me
The chance to be
If you reach out and want to see

Morning star:
I rise and shine, whatever comes
Guiding the way through the light of dawn
The darkness I dispel,
Who's willing to awake and see
Will be led to infinity

Aeon:
Years melt away, the mother creeps
Though they seem to be in untroubled sleep
The darkness' sheet drowns a tender weep
Doom crawls up drawn by the storm gathering

Fate:
The sleeping beast fastens it's beat
And destiny loosens the iron leash
Just one more surge and he'll break free
But I take my course to eternity

Morning star:
I rise and shine, whatever comes
Guiding the way through the light of dawn
The morning star outshines the pain
Gleaming in eternal holy flames
The darkness I dispel, who's willing
To awake and see
Will be lead to infinity

8. Das Kleine Ungeheuer

Tief in der Nacht
Fühlst du mich lauern
Beiß ich dich wach
Und ich sprech' dir leise ins Gewissen

Kriech unter deine Haut
Schleich' mich in deine Traüme
Mauern die du erbaut
Reiß ich in tausend kleine
Steine nehm' sie dir weg
Une leg sie dir dann leise ins Gewissen

Nein! Nein! Nein Lass mich allein!
Doch ish lach' dir weiter ins Gewissen

Ich bin der Sand
In deinem Uhrwerk
Krall' mich an dich
Und ich sprech' dir leise in Gewissen

Kratz an der Unschuld Glanz
In deinen münden Augen
Knabber' an deinem Stolz
Und werd ihn dir dals rauben
Und kaum bermerkst du mich
Zerfalle ich zu Staub
Doch ich lach dir weiter ins Gewissen

Nein! Nein! Nein Lass mich allein!
Doch ish lach' dir weiter ins Gewissen

Geh fort...
Nun bist du mein...

(Nein!)
Kriech unter deine Haut
Schleich' mich in deine Traüme
(Nein!)
Mauern die du erbaut
Reiß ich in tausend kleine
(Nein!)
Steine nehm' sie dir weg
Une leg sie dir dann leise ins Gewissen

Doch ich lach dir weiter ins Gewissen

(Nein!)
Kratz an der Unschuld Glanz
In deinen münden Augen
(Nein!)
Knabber' an deinem Stolz
Und werd ihn dir dals rauben
(Nein!)
Und kaum bermerkst du mich
Zerfalle ich zu Staub...

9. Mother's Fire

Time holds breath tonight
Full's the moon -- loud are the howls
She comes to life
Drawn by our longing souls

She lied in wait
For the day to remember her name
Now she awakes
Calling her children back to the flame
We are the children of the fire
We are -- we are the ones born by
The fountain of the light

Fire!
Can you feel the fever!
Our mothers voice bitter sweet
Fire!
The night falls -- her flesh calls
And we start melting within
Fire!
The life quakes -- she's calling
Follow the magic within
Fire!
Embracing the wellspring
Feel the fever of the earth

Wisdom old and true
Breaking through the surfaces' shield
Knowledge evermore
Ties the know that was released

We feel the fire
That was forgotten ages ago
Inspires out minds
Calling her beloved scions back home

Listen... and hear her call
Calling us back home

When the night whispers
I feel her strength rise
All the silent magic
Keeps me alive
So right...

Fire!
Can you feel the fever!
Our mothers voice bitter sweet
Fire!
The night falls -- her flesh calls
And we start melting within
Fire!
The life quakes -- she's calling
Follow the magic within
Fire!
Embracing the wellspring
Feel the fever of the earth

10. Rainbow

Fate touched my life
Led you my way --
Within a heartbeat
I was caught by your light

The surface shivered
Unveiled so unexpected beauty
True and fateful bright

You are the thought that covers me tonight
Beautiful soul -- sacred ways of life
Unfold my wings -- reach out for your light
To shelter you from pain tonight

A flare in time
Gathered our souls
As they touched gently
Sacred ways of fate

Love entered my life
So unexpected though so welcome
Living in your eyes

And though I know my fight begins
My soul's melting within

You are the thought that covers me tonight
Beautiful soul -- sacred ways of life
Unfold my wings -- reach out for your light
My heart it breaks for you tonight

My heart steady beats for you (eternal on, eternal on)
No despairing darkness can blind my sight
Show me your colours -- my ray of light...
I'm burning bright -- alive!

You are the thought that covers me tonight
Beautiful soul -- sacred ways of life
Unfold my wings -- reach out for your light
Never forsake -- it's once in a life...

11. The Dark Bridge

Night falls and dark dreams start rising
They crawl upon me and oppress me silent
Chasing my soul to drink the fear blooming in me -- save me!

And then a flash awakens me
"Alive! Alive!" I scream
Whatever I have seen it crawls after me
(It crawls, it crawls)
The essence of my dream drips into reality -- let me be!
(In the end we're all alone...)

Caught in a dream, there is no escape
(The dark bridge)
When my mind is what's imprisoning me
(You're mine and I am you)
Caught in a dream, they're coming closer
(Wake up, and see)
Set me free!
(You're mine! You're mine!)

Fears become flesh, reality is melting
I drown within the seas of endless horror
Sane no more cold claws solidify and grab at me
And then a flash awakens me
"Alive! Alive" I scream (Alive!)
Whatever I have seen it crawls after me
(It crawls, it crawls)
The essence of my dream drips into reality -- set me free!
(Drips into life -- in the end we're all alone)

Drown in... drown in... me!
Drown in... drown in... me!

Caught in a dream, there is no escape
(The dark bridge)
When my mind is what's imprisoning me
(You're mine and I am you)
Caught in a dream, they're coming closer
(Wake up, and see)
Set me free!
(You're mine! You're mine!)

Caught in a dream, I move in darkness
(The dark Bridge)
There's no escape when
Your mind's the prison
(You're mine, I am you)
Caught in a dream, he's coming closer
(Wake up and see)
Set me free!

Move on...

Caught in a dream, there is no escape
(The dark bridge)
When my mind is what's imprisoning me
(You're mine and I am you)
Caught in a dream, they're coming closer
(Wake up, and see)
Set me free!
(You're mine! You're mine!)

Caught in a dream, I move in darkness
(The dark bridge)
There's no escape when
Your mind's the prison
(You're mine, I am you)
Caught in a dream, he's coming closer
(Wake up and see)
Set me free!

Move on...
