Xandria

Kill The Sun

i am down at the water
my bare feet are numb
and for aeons now nothing seems real

now it's hard to hold sight
through your soft eiderdown
but i still got my hands on the wheel

you have set my mind
between worlds spinning round
i'm a stranger in my universe

but i see my sun
and i know that it will
be forever shining on earth

you can rain down on me
but you can't darken the sun
you can cast a spell on the moon
but you can't kill the sun

Mermaids

sigh - for they make you feel alive
try - it's just one step aside
fly - over seas of drunken wine
lie - cause you'll never draw a line

cry - for they leave you cold and dead
ride - til the last of suns is set

don't dive too deep - too deep into the sea

come and be a child of the blue
we make the azure dream come true

i drift and fall - sapphire spear inside
they come for me and softly close my eyes

fight - for this is your last chance

come and be a child of the blue
leave the past, we make it new

you will always be our child

Ginger

something infests me when I'm alone
it's lunacy
I want to vomit, spit out my life
so queer is seems
retract your reverence and slander me
I'm the traitor of mine
a close-up picture of my lost chastity
there's nothing left of me anymore

and no rain can wash away those bloody tears
as sweet sounds of destruction reach my ears
red lips like roses call my name
but laughter is all the woman of now hears

in gloom I wander, it batters me
though I subsist of it
the smell of incense arouses me
abeyance maddens me
a ginger sunset is my caress
as I expire
as music's fading I fade within
there's nothing left of me anymore

and no rain can wash away those bloody tears
as sweet sounds of destruction reach my ears
red lips like roses call my name
but laughter is all the woman of now hears

She's Nirvana

do you dare to taste her soul
do you like to trick control
did you think this world was real
realize this was the deal

she's ether fire - burns away all the dire
you will feel her touch for a while

do you see her through the waves
do you think it's her who saves
with a blink of radiant eye
would you really dare to try

she's like a fawn - just appears and then gone
what reamins will be just this one song

she's eternity behind her disguise
you have almost seen a world in her eyes
but you've known that it would never be born
she's flown away like a leave in a storm

she's bliss - she's ether - she's dark - she's nirvana

Forever Yours

It feels like
keeping and holding a star in the sky
born to be born again with you
the days of thunder cry their goodbye
and for the first time I know what to do
I just keep on being one with you

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

loving and fighting the mirror I need
dearest I'm down on the ground
waitind to see whereto the storm leads
it's my blood that bleeds from your wounds
dearest you're all that I need

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

and when I kiss you
your lips are the onla food I need
your fingertips open
spaces that make me complete
dearest you're all that I need

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

forever

loving - fighting
holding - losing
giving - taking

wanting forever you

loving - fighting
holding - losing
giving - taking

Casablanca

at the temple of black gods i failed again
for you - a chilvarous end for a man
clandestine enthralling haze
a docile sacrifice for your grace

resurrect from the ban they put on you
fall again - you will - what they foreknew
only gods illuminate
and just a slave to be is my fate

and you will hear me
siren's calls of temptation
teasing you
no limit will be
no taboo of imagination
i'll fill your void

i will always savour you
as i will always be your fool

So You Disappear

i breathe the scent of your hair
your emerald eyes are closed
there's still some music in the air
feels like time no more flows

we sit, you're in my arms
watching the first daylight gleam
you say: "i like your warmth"
a voice just in a dream

i was dreaming of the wind
i was dreaming like a child
a prince and princess fairy tale
and so you disappear

i was dreaming of the fire
of the time when it was wild
i was dreaming far too sweet
and so you disappear

in chaos waters i do swim
and you're the stone one's thrown into
a frail creature now gets dim
as the gold turns into blue

made me think you were so damn near
like a bright shining star
but reaching out you disappeared
for real you are so very far

i was dreaming of the wind
i was dreaming like a child
a prince and princess fairy tale
and so you disappear

i was dreaming of the fire
of the time when it was wild
i was dreaming far too sweet
and so you disappear

Wisdom

we scintillate like cedar stones
in plasma veil as ancient ones
in cold war years you were my fears
but just to gain the power to reign
satan's bllod in our veins
the pigfaced mud will be slayn
but noone dies when blackseas dry
and noone kill. forever this will
our wisdom be
now you're asking
what are you living for
no sense of life
and none afterwards
what I call wisdom is a flower
that can seldom be found
but not in illusions
you only use to find
a way out

Isis & Osiris

"i am birth - i am death
i'm an elusive symbol
for eternal come and go
for come and go

i have come - i have gone
i have shown you moira
and her restless re-creation
your own re-creation"

"never, no never the day will go down on me
within knowing him by my side
sothis, o sothis, don't pass me again
before i know how to heal
who is shattered by the forces of the night"

Calyx Virago

fading lights, I sink into
this other world, where only you
can heal my wounds and make me see
only here I'm free

you are the night with all its charm
glowing darkness keeps me warm
take my life - just one caress
let me be forever yours

close your eyes

fading lights, I sink into
this other world

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

now-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

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

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

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

Eversleeping (Single Version)

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

Drown In Me

Trust in me,
I'll make you see everything inside the fire
Let us share all our secrets,
I can take away the dire

I will make you drown,
I will let you fall so deep
I will see you frown,
I will let you fall so deep into me

Fight me - as now it's over
Hate me - so I can forgive myself
Now I am crying
Will it be your fate to love and die?

I will make you drown,
I will let you fall so deep
I will see you frown,
I will let you fall so deep into me

Forgive me - and die

Pure

[only on limited edition]

Pure - like the wings of a dove
So pure - is the one that I love
He's holding my heart in his hands
He's God to me

Blue - like the sky that's above
So blue - am I caused by my love
I'm losing myself just by seeing
Him from the far

Soft - like the kiss of a ghost
So soft - is the one I love most
I'm dying to hear from his own lips
He loves me too

High - like the stars use to be
So high - he is standing 'bove me
Unreachable, just like
The promise of paradise
