XANDRIA LYRICS

1. Ravenheart

Come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil
Come to me. What's the news?
Here I'm still left lonely

You shadow of forgotten dreams
You come to take away
My hope on your black wings

Of love & hate the singers tell
But I feel more, more of both,
More than heaven & hell.
I take a bow to destiny.
Now I have really learnt my part
Once loving him, now hating love
I've made mistakes, my Ravenheart

Will I get back who I adore?
Thus spoke the raven: nevermore.

2. The Lioness

Cerulean sky over dessert fields and sand veils
And underneath a lioness is stalking narrowing rings
Feel her coming near, she smells the blood, her prey is near
So see her, hear her, feel her, be her

The lioness is hunting us
So beautiful and dangerous
Her embrace is murderous
Beware of the lioness

Do you feel her gentle touch
Her sweet caress hurts just as much
So take care, take care of her
The lioness will win

So close you hear her purring
So close she smells your fear
Not close enough to lose yourself
Beware - the lioness is near

3. Back To The River

I can recall my name - but it was not the same
I fear I'd gone astray - I've almost gone insane

Sometimes I still can hear - echoes of silent fears
But on that winter's day - you swept them all away

These were the times when I longed for the river
And I closed my eyes and you laid your hands down on me

Not just a burning sin - a candle in the wind
It was so much more - I want to thank you for

I can see you, still my friend
Still so deep inside of me

You filled my void, you let me fly
You broke my chains, you showed me life
You set me up, you made me true
I was back at the river with you

4. Eversleeping

Once I travelled 7 seas to find my love
And once I sang 700 songs
Well, maybe I still have to walk 7000 miles
Until I find the one that I belong

Once I crossed 7 rivers to find my love
And once, for 7 years, I forgot my name
Well, if I have to I will die 7 deaths just to lie
In the arms of my eversleeping aim

I will rest my head side by side
To the one that stays in the night
I will lose my breath in my last words of sorrow
And whatever comes will come soon
Dying I will pray to the moon
That there once will be a better tomorrow

I dreamt last night that he came to me
He said: "My love, why do you cry?"
For now it won't be be long any more

Until in my cold grave we will lie
Until in my cold grave we will lie

5. Fire Of Universe

I clench my fist and break my chains
Destroy the mirror of tears
I force the night to smash you down
And lose my innocence (I'm)

Blinded by the fire of universe
I'm falling down, no reverse

I Can't rewind my life to then
When I was freaming ot warmth
You took away the child I've been
And left me frozen (and)

Rewind rewind to then -

I'm an angel
Born form the breath of life
An Ikarus
Burning an falling down

6. Some Like It Cold

Glamourous stars darken the day
The shadows of night lighten their way
The wisdom of fools is not easy to learn
So go one step ahead and two in return

I am the sense in all of your tears
I am the reason of all your fears

I am praised for my sadness
I am praised for my faults
I am praised for my madness
Cause some like it hot
And some like it cold

Evening calls the sunset to rise
I am a liar so take care of my advice
The wheel of fortune always goes round
Whatever goes up must always come down

7. Answer

We fought the truth
As long as we lived our love
Fearing all the solutions we found
We drowned ourselves
In the lake of fears theat we cried
'Til we found out that love is its ground

Call me a fool, but I'm not
Our love changed - and love changed me

I kept waiting for your answer
The I found out the answer was you
No more riddles of my longings
Now I Know that the answer is you

I want to thank you, my creator
I still wouldn't live my life without you

Call me a fool, but I'm not
Our love changed me - and love changed us both

8. My Scarlet Name

Take my life and paint it black
Until I'm sleeping
And my promise, I take back
So please stop creeping

I don't call your heart my own
Where I rest my head I'm home
You are here to please me

You know my name
I don't know yours

Stay until the curfew calls
And kiss your idol
Beneath your black-hair waterfalls
You look so bridal

You know my name
You don't know - me

9. Snow-White

Once upon an ancient time
Beauty was born in a someone
She was the Snow-White of mine
And if you're not a copy, my darling, become one

Snow-White skin, ebony hair
And lips as red as blood

Bite my apple, choke my kiss
Gasp for breath in my embrace
Vanity is a bliss of amazing grace
Snow-White, untouchable
Innocent whore, you're the best of them all

You are the best, yes I adore
My bloodred, snow-white, ebony whore
Your innocence moves me to tears
I want to protect you and hurt you my dear

10. Black Flame

Incinerate my skin
And touch me far far beyond
Burn me out, my sin
And take me deeper underground
I know it's way too late
When this dance has begun
So put on the heat
And let the fire run

Take me away, my black flame

Immaculate you are
In your tender violence
And when you touch my heart
I'll always lower my defense
Don't let me wait too long
Cause I don't like to be save
We know we can't go wrong
On our way through time and space

Take me away, my black flame

11. Too Close To Breathe

We played with the fire
Burning souls in the flames
Call me a liar
But now it's not the same
Silently creeping
Soon we were torn apart
By what once was sleeping
In the shadows of my heart
- forgive me -

Too close to breathe he came to me
Under my skin, making me high
I didn't look for what I see
To less to live too much to die
Of love

Heart, don't believe
You don't remind me of
Joy & grief
Though both they are gone
You left me grey and without a core inside
And I left myself by leaving you angry this night

12. Keep My Secret Well

Keep my secret well
Like my eyes keep their tears
It's raindrops on my face
A thunderstorm has led me here

Keep my secret well
Like my lungs keep on breathing
Until I close my eyes
The last time it's beneath me

For the case all is past and gone
I'll keep my smile and carry on
Don't ask for more
Don't ask for more

Keep my secret well
See how deep I fell
Keep my secret well
And I won't ask you for more

Keep my secret well
Like my veins keep my blood
No wounds can be as deep
As the love that I had
