While flying...

Last Exit for the lost

Would you pay life's pleasure to see me
Does it hurt? - For I want you to remain
I run your hair through, in another decade
Sumerland holds me in sumerian haze

Pain in the places where the lovers mourned
Arranging the playthings up and down the hall
Forever remain, for every day
My honour remains, forever remain

Between the spaces along the wall
Appearing faces that disappear at dawn
We're getting close now, I can see the door
Closer and closer - Kthulhu calls

Forever remain, forever remain ...

You'll seek it - it'll take a while
You'll seek this - if it's a thousand miles
Take what fate brings, eternal and desire
I'll change those faces then I take their smile

We're getting close now, I can see the door
Closer and closer - or is it there at all ?
Forever remain, forever remain

This could be my last regress
Last exit for the lost

Precious to the lost...

" Orpheus "

Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost
I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
I struggle with words for fear that they�ll hear
But orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world

Sunlight falls, my wings open wide
There�s a beauty here I cannot deny
And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs
Are just so many people I knew never cared
Down below on the wreck of the ship
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn�t regret
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
As orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side

Tell me, I�ve still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing
I will hear the promise of my orpheus sing

Sleepers sleep as we row the boat
Just you the weather and I gave up hope
But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps
Were fuel for the fire and straw for our backs
Still the voices have stories to tell
Of the power struggles in heaven and hell
But we feel secure against such mighty dreams
As orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring

Tell me, I�ve still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Please believe, when this joke is tired of laughing
I will hear the promise of my orpheus sing
