SYLVAN LYRICS

1. Seeking Nights

Shadows of twilight, like a sign of night,
Conquers greed for light
Vanguards wings,
Fading blinks of the day
Oppressive calmness
Reaching out for sure
Nervous hours once more and torn apart,
Bleeding heart long ago

It finds me, reminds me,
A glimpse of my past is behind me,
Obsessed me, as years went by
Abuses me, confuses me,
I don't know why it teases, why it hurts me,
And tell me how to forget this night

Nights, from deep in my mind
Thoughts, that try to accuse me
Nights, a trace left behind
Thoughts, that try to accuse me

Too blind for allusion, imploring eyes
Dad, I really didn't realise!
Irrevocable hopeless
Train of thoughts that I failed to see
Wasn't there when you needed me the most
This night when you went away to find your heart that you'd lost
Too blind for allusion, imploring eyes
Dad, I really didn't realise!

When she left your life, you needed me
You began to die, I didn't see
Just for me I cried, blame on me
Feel those seeking nights endlessly

Seeking nights, seeking nights
Seeking nights, seeking nights

Now it's near, every breathe is cool
I regret what I've done to you
If I could I would undo all seeking nights

2. Golden Cage

Mist is surrounding her cliff, I feel pain
It is caused by her voice, how could I try to escape, I can't move,
Move at all
Waves are crashing against her stone rocks
I see now her face, my greed glows
My only wish now is to be with her
Be forever

I remember such a lonely time, felt so lost
But somehow pleased to know
This time is so long ago
My memories they fade away, can't even think,
My brain is paralysed, my resistance crumbles now

There's no return, no escape
I'm a prisoner in her golden cage
There's no escape, no return
I'm a prisoner in her golden cage

It was just my own choice
To be her willing fool
So why do tears run down my face
She's so beautiful

Now, free me from your golden cage
Please release me from my pain
To be alone again
Now, free me from your golden cage
Please release me from my pain
To be alone again
Golden cage
Golden cage
Golden cage

I'm so alone
I'm so alone
I'm so alone
In a golden, golden, golden cage

3. Unconsciously

Why does it change like an endless cycle
Where passion turns to request for an unconscious aggression
Hesitate to follow an inner compulsion
Fertilise weed to feed furious violence
Once silence eased my pain, now it tears me apart
And a melody comes back, I used to know by heart
How to judge a man whose sincere intentions are supposed to die?

Poisonous force deep in me drowning me unconsciously

Anxiety rouses apathy, paralysed by a well known crime
And emotions once called sympathy have left their bloody sign
I take a look at my hands and feel ashamed
Disgusted glance in the mirror and I cry in vain

Poisonous force deep in me drowning me unconsciously

Tears, a dried up source confessed
Blue sea of failing hopes,
I know I can't endure deceitfulness, no more
Now I hear it, deserted cries and loneliness again
Tell me how to leave this way, I can't

Behind the mist lies a memory
A flickering fire still remains
It could not avert their agony and all the suffering I left behind
But can it still heat up the cold?
Never again,
I approached too far, I know
Who can forgive me?
There's a voice appealing once more
Melodies that I've heard before can't resist those bewitching whores...

A thousand sounds in my head, they're promising so much
Deriding values and dreams and hope and trust
And I feel in me the power to destroy, just to destroy unrestrained emotions and joy
Miserable memories, miserable memories, miserable memories,
Miserable memories, miserable memories, dawn

Poisonous force deep in me drowning me unconsciously
Poisonous force deep in me drowning me unconsciously

4. Safe

There are birds above me,
Free of all, they're circling so high
I know I can't reach them,
But I wish that I could fly like a feather in the wind,
Just to float without care and I rush
Towards dreams to touch the sun
It's so near
Every time I feel this yearning I start to fly
Contented for a little while

So safe in an endless forest of quiet
No care ever finds a way
Under trees so old and wise
Every leaf soothes me till I have to say goodbye

Whenever I close my eyes
Spinning flames, a circus of mind
Every time in silent hours,
Voices tell me stories and I drift away in fantasy
Live the life of romantic heroes and the magic lives in me
It's so real
Every time I have a longing I enter life
Avalanche to break the ice

So safe in an endless forest of quiet
No care ever finds a way
Under trees so old and wise
Every leaf soothes me till I have to say goodbye

I'm safe in an endless forest of quiet
No care ever finds a way
Under trees so old and wise
Every leaf soothes me till I have to say goodbye

5. Those Defiant Ways

Those defiant ways
Those defiant ways
Yes, I followed them just to be back again
Those defiant ways
Realised too late
How they tempted my will
They enchanted my youth
Like a bored know-all child so naïve to believe
That all my fucking dreams will come true

That's what I see no way to be the man that I ever wanted to be
Rebel by heart to break the chains,
To break the chains, to break the chains that keep me here
I'd like to breathe the air of a vivid endless city just to begin
Rebel by heart to break the chains,
To break the chains, to break the chains that keep me here

Refugee in the ocean of modern age

Endless city embrace me
Motivation runs through me...
Endless city embrace me
Motivation runs endless...

Ambitious, delicious, adventurous, contentious,
Exciting, inviting, I'm writing, I'm fighting for my dreams...

Oh, what a challenge to write
I work at day and by night
Can't find a minute to think
God knows I'm on the blink
Never there's silence around
Is this my dream that I found?

Got the time to breathe independently
Pressure lies beneath my own liberty
So I can't believe: only empty sheets
Feel how time deceives, sacred dignity!

Dignity, liberty, sanity, mendacity
Dignity, liberty, sanity, mendacity
Dignity, sanity

Time...
Against all I could not keep pace
Where is my way
A shrine deserted without trace
How should I breathe,
How should I flee from claws that try to suppress me?
There was no sign along my way
No guide, no help and so I pray
No help and so I pray

All tears, all cries
Forgotten...
All lies
To leave...
It's no defeat
Just a detour
Makes you see
Embraced city, I have to go
It's not your fault
Now I know

Those defiant ways
Those defiant ways
Yes, I followed them just to be back again
Those defiant ways
Those defiant ways
Yes, I followed them
I followed them
Yes, I followed them

6. Deliverance

Many times you remember freedom
Happy days without fear and torment
Seven years on this ship of demons,
Human beasts, men indeed
That's hard to believe
Catching and imprisoning you
Abusing and degrading you
No farewell, no goodbye
Passing days, passing life

Day by day you're rowing through the endless sea
And faces all around you staring hopeless at the ground
Day by day your masters heading for a new course
And every day you're wishing your slavery comes to an end

Seven years full of pain and torture
Heavy chains around your arms
To hold you
Damn the day
They'd arrived in your port
Searched men to turn them into slaves

Strokes of grief and misery
I can't believe what I see
Nights of cries, hope to die
Bloody streams don't let your dream

Day by day you're rowing through the endless sea
And battle follows battle but you are still a slave
The meaning of your sad life and master of your mind
Is the unkind rhythm of a ruthless funeral drum

Day by day, endless fights
Night by night, hopeless cries
Gloomy light, hungry eyes
Creeping time, fading life

Whispering, restlessness, bewilderment, presentiment
Sails on the horizon
Excitement on board
Is this deliverance?
Are we now free?
Is this deliverance?
Is this deliverance?
Deliverance
Deliverance
Deliverance
Deliverance

I'm coming back home
Lost what I have known
A stranger in your hometown,
No friends
Still a slave of your past,
No welcome
I'm coming back home
Lost what I have known
Travelling through dark streets,
Memories of good old times
Now erased
You're undone

I'm coming back home
I'm all alone
A stranger in your hometown,
No friends
Still a slave of your past,
No welcome

7. Childhood Dreams

If you want to be the king of this land
Just close your eyes and see
Lay down and sleep
Won't you lay down and sleep
If you want to run faster than light
Then close your eyes and see
Lay down and sleep
Won't you lay down and sleep

All those secrets I once knew
Like a dream they passed away in time
All those secrets I once knew
Like a dream they passed away in time

If you want to fly like a bird
Just close your eyes and see
Lay down and sleep
Won't you lay down and sleep
If you want to swim like a fish
Then close your eyes and see
Lay down and sleep
Won't you lay down and sleep

All those secrets I once knew
Like a dream they passed away in time
All those secrets I once knew, I once knew
Like a dream they passed away in time
All those secrets I once knew, I once had
Like a dream they passed away in time my child

8. A Fairytale Ending

He roamed the wood of Neldoreth
His name was Beren
At dusk he saw Luthien
Like a shining star
Her gleam enchanted his heart,
So he fell in love
In his mind only Luthien Thinuviel,
Daughter of breaking dawn

Beren and Luthien
A love damned by fate
The father of Luthien was the king of the elves
Great was his anger,
Thingol his name
As he saw Beren to an evil decision he came

Beren's face turned to white as Thingol said what he wanted:
'A single gem of the crown of Morgoth,
Just bring me the Silmaril'

So he agreed, travelling down to Angband for love

Hard was his journey through lands of hate
Luthien joined him to light him the way
By his side she stood,
Hard was their journey through lands of hate,
Full of fear and pain
Hopeless in Angband they finally arrived
After all they reached their goal

Dusty stairs and darkened lights
Leading down to Morgoth's might
Deadly hate which killed their hope
Their only shield was their love
Reached the gate of Morgoth's hall
The hellish point of no return

Shining so brightly, they say the Silmaril
Shining so brightly
Shining so brightly, they saw the Silmaril
Shining so brightly
So clear like a bird
A song hurting all evil
Only Luthien's voice just defeated his might
Morgoth began
Morgoth began to sleep

Luthien took the Silmaril
Luthien took the Silmaril
She fulfilled Beren's quest
Started to retreat before Morgoth awoke
Luthien took the Silmaril
Luthien took the Silmaril
Took the Silmaril
She fulfilled Beren's quest
Started to retreat before Morgoth awoke

Quick now was their escape
To leave these lands of hate
To reach the end of their tale
Fulfilling their fate

See them as time went by still memories haunt their minds
See them but all heroes sacrifice

See them as time went by still memories haunt their minds
See them though marked by life death might reunify
