PARAGON OF BEAUTY LYRICS

1. Wundenozean

Vom Throne hernieder ins weinende Tal
Fiel blutend der Engel verklärt seine Qual
Die Elfen im Mondschein umarmten den Knaben
Verführt ward der Jüngling von schneeweißen Raben

Siehst du die Flammen am Ende des Weges
Den Engel davor die dornigen Speere
Ewiger Frühling erfordert zorniges Streben
Nach zaubernden Feen im tanzenden Regen

Laßt mich allein in meinem Leid
Ergötzt euch nur am Wundenweib
Trauer, Sünden, Bitterkeit
Flammentränen, Hexenleib
Der Sonne letzter Atemzug
Erstickt im schwarzen Grabgesang
Nächte weinen, doch nicht genug
Feuerweltenuntergang

Erlaubt mir einen Blick ins Nichts
Schenkt uns ein wenig Heiterkeit
Ich bin dein Schatten seh niemals Licht
Ein Prost auf meine Einsamkeit

Verflucht sind wir den Tag zu sehen
Um blind dem Nachtwind nachzugehen
Verflucht sind wir den Wein zu trinken
Der nachts durch unsere Wunden strömt

2. Oh Dear Beloved Marblequeen

... And love remains a constant river
May sadness flee from stars delivered
The sunwheel burns in ancient grace
On marble stairs the soulspawn race...

Take this old rose and go to the stones
Where a twin-flower grows without love
I know of your leave you've spread on the ground
Let my sunbrother weave a flamedove

Shimmering nightfalls contain lunar blood
My halls are so barren and empty
I kneel on our hill while sunshine awakes
But no one to share the grandeur with me

Oh dear, oh dear
Wail morningtear
Oh dear, my dear
Moonqueen waits here

The presence of autumn allows me to dream
About silver-pearled breasts obscene
Imagine a goddess unbound to spacetime
Would you taste the crestfallen wine

Look into thy springlit mirror
Do you see thine goldforged eyes
Save my orbit kiss ye wounds
Fairyland or flaming scythe
Summer's melting heart shines blue
Deepblue like a secret flower
Away, away with all thine sorrow
Labyrinth or cosmic tower

Diamond nails and autumnswords
Rainspeared symbols loose their tongues
Is there one beyond the line
Who tells me where my soul belongs
Bow to winter's crystal ocean
Count thy stars thine firmament
Arrows run through undressed visions
Godwinged bird or restless end

On marble stairs we float and dance without rings
Our wedding is eternal we don't need mortal strings
Love me like I love you and feed my starving flame
A serenade in minor could fill the empty frame

Oh dear, oh dear
Wail morningtear
Oh dear, my dear
Moonqueen waits here

3. Among Thy Midnight Kings

Sweet moonchild have thou ever seen
A snowfall day in summer green
Undress your shame and probe the keys
Dark fountain of my tragedies

Like flutes we ride on soulforged wings
Flamedance among thy midnight kings

My rage unfurled I bid farewell
No turning back, you've chosen hell

4. Snowfall Summerdreams

We are flames among the flameless
And we have wings to kiss the snow
We hold sway over the seasons
Yet we bear the moaning ones below

We are stars among the starless
And we weave rhymes with magic words
We bring fortune to the rainland
A dress of feathers made by dreams

Cosmic celebration
Heavenly vibration
Patterns of creation
Salvation

Remind of snowfall summerdreams
They used to speed through unexplored extremes

I kiss your rose, a souljuicelake
We die as one come forth daybreak

And if there were thousand oceans
To catch the wisdom of my soultears
They wouldn't bear their weight
... From funeral to funeral we dance

I worship all the harmonies
That own a lake to dream
Sometimes the waves have silver crowns
Souldiamonds to redeem

"And I tell you thy gruesome legend
Of a long forgotten cosmic tribe,
That lived far beyond from all mortal poems.
Only gods had seen the sea of strongholds...
An endless wave with magic crowns...
Stronger than a dream and higher than an angel could fly.
This tribe wove thousand horizons to drink that perfection.
Many leaves fell to the ground
And many withered in thy flameless frost.
Some of them came back to burn their homes.
But one of them has sown a new tribe
... Thy Tribe of Godsend Wings."

Remind of snowfall summerdreams
Again they storm through unexplored extremes

Your crimson robe eclipsed by milk
Outstretched redeemer, sunbed of silk

Strange sentiments
Unspoken spell of restless love
You've seen the snowfall summer
And meadows dressed in woven green
Strange bridal kiss
You've found the lake of twofold bliss
Magic curse and bloodstained wings
We've joined the tribe as godsend kings

Cosmic celebration
Heavenly vibration
Patterns of creation
Salvation

Remind of snowfall summerdreams
They used to speed through strange extremes

I kiss your rose, a souljuicelake
We die as one come forth daybreak

Remind of snowfall summerdreams
Again they storm through strange extremes

Your crimson robe eclipsed by milk
Outstretched redeemer, sunbed of silk

5. A Cosmos For A Lovestarved Child

I have this vision true and wise
Of a winter's gravedance dawning twice
Painful life, joyful death
I hail you under the spiritual flag
Of the sunthorncosmos

My heartbeam was wingless and the skygreens were grey
Hark, I starved of a cosmos at my soulbirth in May

I emerged from the stones with a flamebunch of mirth
A weight that is more than a lifetime on earth

Chaoswoven threads and miracles of soulspawn pain
A sparkling shade amidst the purple edenflame

A black woeful raven crossed the sunconquered plain
Starved of love and withered with an ode to the rain

Unravel thy secret thou keeper unseen
And write down your rune in emerald green

Chaoswoven threads and miracles of soulspawn pain
A sparkling shade amidst the dying edenflame

Seeds unbroken and wings sailing free
December birds have churned up the sea

Newborn dreams, oh please cherish the night
The winter dies with a promise, moonchild

Chaoswoven threads and miracles of soulspawn pain
A sparkling shade amidst the purple edenflame

6. Where the Nights Still Dance

Once upon a time there was a queen without a royal smile
She used to watch the crimson stage when sun and sea
collided

One night the spirits entered the chamber
And winter's talons escaped from existence
Through wormholes we are yet our task is to be
We slip into pictures, spiritlands, astral trees

Cheerful she balanced on heavendressed shorelines
Her virtues reached out for the center unlogic

Moonrose ennobled by thorns
Horizon's eclipse will flow into dawn

I burn down ye stronghold
And I burn down ye kin
Kneel down to thy scythe
Praise my soulhorde of sin

Sorrowed breath we are
Midnight mood soulstar

Moonrose ennobled by thorns
Horizon's eclipse will flow into dawn

I burn down ye stronghold
And I burn down ye kin
Kneel down to thy scythe
Praise my soulhorde of sin

On melting flames we drift above your sombre aura
Our nights still dance where Lord Sun never falls

Disown me bright angel, I spit onto you
Ephemeral lights won't paint my sky blue

Oh princess come and yearn for me
I save your tragic smile
We rise together hand in hand
To starlit mountainsides

You flee, you flee, Lord Tragedy
Perfection, chaos, end
I procreate thy wicked seed
Our Satan hails thy damned

Moonrose ennobled by thorns
Horizon's eclipse will flow into dawn
I burn down ye stronghold
And I burn down ye kin
Kneel down to thy scythe
Praise my soulhorde of sin

We are gods...
Undying ornaments in an everlasting cycle...
Painting the frame for the nightfall orchestration,
As the sun yields her stage to the moonqueen

7. Godbirds

A godbird bears the wisdom of a million striving lilies

Diamond coloured angel yearning to fly because we are
godbirds

Wail thou dancer, wail thou child
Thy godbirds leave their castle, dark frozen autumnside
Your flaming dress, your charming smile
I would flee from Eden's safety, a blind man for a while

Why do you search for the graveyard in me
As moongold awakes on my cheek
Grey meadows in June like sheltering hands
That bleed in the wombs of thy weak

She married my knowledge, crimson shorelines to sort
With her steed named loverebellion riding sunblessed fiords
Astral fires burning distant galaxies
We hunt to feed our wisdom, perpetual odyssey

Hail thou dancer, hail thou child
Thy godbirds join their kingdom, bright velvet autumnside
I love you robe, I love your smile
Could I flee from Eden's safety to kiss you with a sigh?

Why do you search for the graveyard in me
As moongold awakes on my cheek
Grey meadows in June like sheltering hands
That bleed in the wombs of thy weak

Why do you search for the graveyard in me...

8. Sunset Funeral

Im Herzen ein Schloß, verborgen und kalt
Umgeben von Stille und endlosem Wald

Im Herzen ein Schwert, erhaben und stolz
Wer küsst meine Burg aus Sonnenholz
Im Herzen ein Gott, verloren und arm
Nur deine Flammen halten mich warm

Forever the echoes of the sunrise eve
They still vibrate in my ears
If a maiden opened the primeval gate
This world would freeze in divine fear

Nocturnal windows
Corners to sleep
Dark illustrations
Funeral leap

Let's dance as if the sky would tear us apart

All thine crimson pearls do flow
Into a fairyboat of love
Where fiery odes unveil their splendour
Rise tranquil utopia
Misanthropic borders clash
While fever turns to rain
Like feathered snow in summer's dress
Your pulse should beat in shame

Let's dance as if the sky would tear us apart

Join thy sunset funeral
Unsheltered tragedy indeed
We hold the rose and praise ourselves
We children of the postdawnseed

Join thy sunset funeral
Unsheltered tragedy indeed

Mein Bronzeleib auf welkem Laub
Am letzten Sommertage
Dämonen zürnen ehern taub
Der Sonnenweltensage

Sunset funeral
