a poem for the firmament

it's simply too hard

to blow out all these fragments of star

the dawn never shines

i'm condemned to this eternal night

fly away

far away

oh

whence i could feel you whole

there's a light in your eyes i'll follow

a spark of endless dreams

there's a light in your eyes while you're

holding me tight it enriches my life

it

holds me spellbound

it crawls all inside

it's the wish to back down and hide

like the calm sea

it's the haven of forces within

fly away

far away

oh

up this path i rode

i was searching for a reason

i lost the thread of tale

fly away

far away

oh

whence i could feel you whole

there's a light in your eyes i'll follow

a spark of endless dreams

there's a light in your eyes while you're

holding me tight

it enriches my life

holds me spellbound

on the scars of old runes

thousands of

forgotten memories and hopes

are carved in stone

symbols of my childhood

gone

on the wind floats a dream

and hundreds of my broken promises and oaths

taken by the stream

artifacts of what i was

read the signs on the trees

written by golden leaves

winds are howling their serenades

ancient chants singing all the good aims i betrayed

another night has passed

and with it all

the fears and dreads are gone

and the shadows have faded

clouds are leaving the sky

the horizon

point out new ways to be found

there is always a trail to follow

and it will

take you home

follow all the scents

before light passes away

long before the shadows fall

as covering miles in the distance

you will see

what you searched

you will catch sight of your dreams

dwelling forevermore

wander aimlessly

it's the fatal falling

on the path we choose

we're searching for answers

that never appear

we're searching for lands beyond

all limits

we're falling!

millions of emotions have passed

through my heart since i'm on this earth

but the ones that remain are the ones

we're living for

it's the sweetest night of all

it's a moment that lengthens

to eternity and more

while the flakes soundless will fall

i hear the sound of laughter

coming from so high above

and the promise once made

now it's broken

the curtain slowly falls

on the angel that kissed me

it's the night of cruel remorse

it remains only a distant memory

of things undone

a return to innocence

a travel back in time when everything

seems clear and pure

and the promise once made

now it's broken

the curtain slowly falls

on the angel that kissed me

cursed

cursed

that lone and threadlike figure

so shapelessly unbounded

will haunt that empty jar

that is me

cursed

cursed

i'm deep into transparency

a dreamy spiral staircase

a voice

a whisper echo in the gloom

cursed

cursed

i sharpen all my sleeping senses

encircle my own wish

i'll never die!

cursed

cursed

a gloomy sense of sadness

impaled my arid heart

to the sceptre of melancholy

cursed

cursed

on the stroke of my halfhour

the token has been shown

eternal wearing the red death masque!

thousand ways of living

in the end i got my reward

i don't feel alone no more

fly away

far away

oh

up this path i rode

i was searching for a reason

i lost the thread of tale

fly away

far away

oh

whence i could feel you whole

there's a light in your eyes i'll follow

a spark of endless dreams

there's a light in your eyes

while you're holding me tight

it enriches my life

holds me spellbound

and finally is day again. on the scars of old runes

thousands of

forgotten memories and hopes

are carved in stone

symbols of my childhood gone

on the wind floats a dream and hundreds

of my broken promises and oaths

taken by the stream

artifacts of what i was

read the signs on the trees

written by golden leaves

winds are howling their serenades

ancient chants singing all the good aims

i betrayed

it's the fatal falling

on the path we choose

we're searching for answers

that never appear

we're searching for lands beyond

all limits

we're falling!
