Lightbringer With a lantern in your hand, you protect our lives By dawn, you begin your vigilant watch On our paths, you are guarding our human lives You are shining in armor like a torch Blessed heaven, then to dust and clay From Eden forever sent away You used to be an angel, gleaming morning star, You were the one, the noblest far and wide You brought hope for all the people down on earth With your help, they can keep joy and mirth Shining one, holding a lantern high on the sky Lightbringer, your name is Lucifer He who has fallen for his pride Down on earth this time he must stride Lightbringer, you are supposed to carry light it has somehow faded out from our world Lightbringer, you used to be a holy knight Come to us you should have saved us from the netherworld You have raised your pride above the Holy Lord You’ve sowed wrath with an iron sword Now you're stuck in the kingdom of eternal dread Fallen down to the realm of the dead You who was a keeper of peace on this world Now you’re serving in the underworld Falling, falling down from Heaven Falling, falling down from Heaven You’ve fallen, fallen down from Heaven Fallen, fallen down from Heaven There is not as much tenderness as it used to be There is not so much compassion, charity, and glee We are missing guidance of your spiritual light We are lost in the profound darkness of a pitch-black night There is not as much tenderness as it used to be There is not so much compassion, charity, and glee We are missing guidance of your spiritual light You have fallen into the dust, you’re a parasite He's become the icon of decay That's why in the hell he must stay Lightbringer, you are supposed to carry light, it has somehow faded out from our world -- it has faded from the world Lightbringer, you used to be a holy knight. Come to us you should have saved us from the netherworld -- please save us Lightbringer, you are supposed to carry light it has somehow faded out from our world -- it has faded from the world Lightbringer, you used to be a holy knight Come to us, come set our hearts on fire Because our light is gone So we will light our hearts again Our light is gone

Pharmacist He dwells in a lovely city He has only a ramshackle store Lengthy beard and lengthy mantle He’s stirring liqueurs, mixing them all If you dare to enter inside He makes a life worth living for He has ointments for the human spirit Sanative herbs for your pride And if you sometimes feel pain in your heart Cure for the love he prescribes He has ointments for the human spirit Sanative herbs for your pride And if you sometimes feel pain in your heart Cure for the love he can prescribe Ladies austere, stupid dickheads He gladly treats all aforesaid Selling lots of different lotions Mixing always the right potions A secret medley of additives Only knows the pharmacist He has ointments ... If you're troubled with a problem Just go to him and take your gram Hurry up to take your treatment This cure gives you an easement All known rascals enter his door Even people disgraced by law If they consent to the healing Honest people are leaving Potion man, please wonder elixir give to me I will purchase your commodities with any fee For our hearts and our souls, for our suffering You're the one who finally can stop all the torturing Potion man ... Potion man ... He has ointments for the human spirit Sanative herbs for your pride And if you sometimes feel pain in your heart Cure for the love he prescribes He has ointments for the human spirit Sanative herbs for your pride And if you sometimes feel pain in your heart Cure for the love he can prescribe He has ointments for the human spirit Sanative herbs for your pride And if you sometimes feel pain in your heart Cure for the love he can prescribe

Falling Breathlessly falling, you’re a gust of wind In my ears howling, I hear your calling - near You are the abyss, my life leads to this I am still falling, hold me tight, my love, please I’m searching for my fate, I cannot do more than trust you I'm seeking credence and I found your deep faith In the air whirling, the music is playing, sounding in my soul, I barely sense the tone I'm dancing with you, all at once alone And I feel mundane, I need you as my keystone I’m searching for my fate ... Breathlessly falling, you are my haven where I do feel safe, while I am flying - high You are the baby I have in my care While you are falling, we will start again from nowhere I’m searching for my fate ... I’m searching for my fate ... Don't let me, my beloved, smash into rocks below If you are waiting down there If you’re there for me, let me, please let me know
4.	Desires in mist 05:31	lyrics	buy track
Desires in mist Though you are standing close to me Within reach of longing arms I feel thrilled while looking at your face Emotions will be erased I can see something in your eyes Is it love or is it hate In my dreams, you're longing for my soul I feel out of control CHORUS Before the dawn will take us both Tell me just one more gentle word If you will kiss me or you won’t Don’t let me wait for you too long When I am silent and you speak About our future that you seek I don’t let cease your desires Together we build empires There are grim ships coming back home Back from the voyage of lost souls Lovers with burning hearts on board Finally released from their bonds I wish you were here I am standing near My heart can explode Because of your lust It is just my will What’s holding you back Never let go Be sure I won’t You are more distant to me now You are farther than the stars Flashing light somewhere in the pitch-black dark The only source of solace You are more distant to me now More than top of our blue sky Just one word and I’ll come back to you Now I know what I should do Close your eye and let me lead I will give you all you need Give me your hand I’ll guide you through Together we can make it new Close your eye ... Before the dawn ... When I am silent ... There are grim ships ... I wish you were here - I am standing near My heart can explode - because of my lust It is just our will - what’s holding us back Never let go - Be sure I won’t Standing on the bare cliff, my mind's whirling The ocean is roaring, there is no way back For the last time, I will shout out your name Wildly despairing, I don't want to… Standing on the bare cliff, my mind's whirling The ocean is roaring, there is no way back For the last time, I will shout out your name Wildly despairing, I don't want to jump
5.	Fear 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Fear We must not go to the forest alone In the marsh, there lives an old evil crone Shadows are lurking there among the trees In despair, you fall hard down to your knees Plenty of sharp teeth, two red glowing eyes just about this monster, you dream every night It’s very astute, it lurks in disguise Looking for a crevice through which it could slip inside Fear is your best friend, that oversees you Warning you before the peril we all knew Fear is your prison, where you are shackled You’re locked in a cage, your mind is blackened Who is afraid, little one, behold his own destination You don't have to, little one, face your dark imagination There’s somebody to help Protect you like a whelp Cause in mystery void You could get paranoid Running away, stones (and)rumbling under your feet Rapid pulse, heavy steps echo on a void street You must stay calm and keep your mind clear Bravery‘s contending against the fear Who is afraid, little one, ... Who is afraid, little one, ... You are going to face the monster from your head, too Just that you won’t know it’s a fake or if it's true Bravery contending against a dread Courage will help you against this threat Cause of the starving wolf, who lives there lone We must not go to the forest alone
6.	Once 05:08	lyrics	buy track
Once When you are lost or when you are forlorn Just call me and I will come to your door Magic stone that can heal and ease your pain I'll give it to your hands to end your bane And when you leave your sweet childhood abode You’ll come to search for me at a crossroads Follow my footprints, they’ll lead you to me When you get tired rest under a tree So many springs and falls, you’d been on your own Before you found me on a green wet moss by the road I will end your anguish, now you won’t be alone Come meet me, don't languish, I'll kiss you, do not moan When the tears in your eyes have a bitter taste They crush down on the ground with sudden haste Turn around, you will see, there I will stand Don't you cry, calm you down and give me your hand And when your smile fades out from your crimson lips Then you’ll feel trembling in your maiden fingertips Write down our secrets in a letter to me Write them down with charcoal so that no one can ever see So many springs and falls... One day when your horses are old and lame We will cease playing this innocent game Rings from our childhood, we’ll throw them (P!) into the pond Thus we will break our everlasting bond I’ll find you snuggled tight down on the ground I’ll touch you tenderly, you know you can come around Silently, lest I should break your calm sleep You’ve been exhausted because of your endless weep When you give birth to a child and I will not be there Someone else will try to relieve your painful blare You go away with him. Where to? You won't tell to me You will live with him now, I won't know where you are You’re not mine anymore, I must be brave and strong It makes me cry, cause we were together for so long I saw you growing up from a girl to a belle This is our last goodbye, take care and fare thee well When you get lost at the crossroads of life Engrave my name to a stone with a sharp knife I’ll find you, I’ll show you a new direction In spite of our time-born disaffection As soon as you forget all about me I’ll repel memories and I will flee Then I will lay a white stone on your grave This is our last goodbye, need to be brave
7.	Skinchangers 05:45	lyrics	buy track
Skinchangers You're chasing the high deers, the wild boars, you're a lord You are free, you are smart, you are fast, alone, unpopular Why is that me who lives in the skin of a wolf While my greatest desire is to chase the flock of sheep up to the hills CHORUS You bring fear of death and you are frightening As it was given to us so we are Life of yours is in a sign of deep desolation Who has given us this awful fate And new dawns will always come after the nights And the moon awakens beasts It reveals the deep merciful night secret From birth, we are doomed to cry You're asking no more girls about true love you dream When you're hungry then you're mad, in a man, you know, you will not change I am the dragon with sharp claws, I can't resist the curse myself Though I'm doing all I can, I will tear that maid in white as well CHORUS We just don't want you here, cause you are different Sometimes you're an animal, sometimes you're human Creatures from unknown lands, you are dangerous People run aghast in fear far away from you You're the breed of the serpent, you creep near to me Though you changed your snakeskin inside you're the same In two bodies one soul dwells, one mind which the story tells It is in the human brain where's encrypted their own bane I undress myself in the darkness, I don't wanna show my madness And then in the skin of man, I turn into the whore who serves them all Captured by dragon's claws, there’s just the two of us Thy future pretty wife is strongly tied to a stake In a while I'll stroke her with my breath tenderly Then you would injure her you better burn yourself Fire can't kill the dragon, I was born in hell's flames I'll stop it just right now, I'll tear myself to shreds Two teeth like a sharp saber penetrate a pounding heart Slowly you let out one bitter drop of poison In the sun in the moss for a while, I lie down In the woods, you will find a girl that sleeps forever I expelled from this land a wild pack of barking dogs Only the freezing wind occasionally sobs We are as good as you, we have our desires You wished to find great love, instead, you walk alone My fangs are stained with blood, no human died tonight From your torn arteries life escapes the corpse The eyes of the beast do not shine with little tears Only the birds will fly singing mournful lullabies Up

Intruders Into the night they crowl into the house of innocent To arouse starry-eyed children from their sweet dreams To take them from their parents, to humiliate them In the name of their twisted faith they’ll break your mind Stranger at night who are you? Why have you covered your face? Explain now your inducements You can't hide the truth in guise Stranger at night who are you? Why are you creeping in disguise? Tell me now your intentions Speak fast ere my bullets fly... In disguise, they bite into the heart of imprudent Just to seize a power from poor people with low will Whispered spite poisons your mind and then it breaks you down Stay away from venomous lies on the bright side Stranger at night who are you? ... Speak fast ere my bullets fly forth The weapon is pointing at you. What’s your choice? Say… The weapon is pointing at you. One, two, three The weapon is pointing at you. What’s your choice? Say… The weapon is pointing at you. One, two, three Stranger at night who are you? ... Stranger at night who are you? ...

Letters to the front Daddy, please, write me a letter, as I am longing for you Every evening on the doorstep, I am looking out for you Daughter, I’m coming home as soon as possible I’ve met some enemies, I feel invincible Over and over on the radio war news reports about the fight I have to fear about your life, I suffer day and night Sweet daughter, there’re still a few bullets in my gun My mission on the enemy line’s not yet done I heard the old devil laugh and yell When I was marching to the gates of hell They gave me a gun and an order to strike But I was killing with an open dislike Father, oh, but at war, there are usually two unfriendly sides I'm not sure which is the right one, If you’re fighting for freedom My daughter, I’ll tell you when you grow old That despite the torment I learned to be bold I heard the old devil laugh and yell When I was marching to the gates of hell They gave me a gun and an order to strike So I was killing but without much pride Father, in these concrete walls, there are many bullet holes Footprints on the bloody floor, what happened a while ago? My daughter, believe me, the world is not kind You were young, now you’re grown, make up your mind Father, in these concrete walls, there are many bullet holes People lying on the floor, they won't wake up anymore Sometimes you wake up and the world has been changed It has a deep scar and it will remain there I heard the old devil laugh, and yell When I was marching to the gates of hell They gave me a gun and an order to strike And I was killing with obvious pride My conscience was gone when I got power I locked myself in a golden tower Since then I’ve lived nowhere but in my illusions I deceived myself by many delusions I ended up lying in mud and clay And there I dreamed about your face and prayed Grandfather, now you have three grandchildren In the attic, they found your rifle hidden They know you only from moth-eaten pictures Yet they keep asking me questions They know you only from moth-eaten pictures Yet they keep asking me questions What am I supposed to tell them now?

11.	Of love, of war, of blood 06:33	lyrics	buy track
Of love, of war, of blood A handsome boy used to come to the girl‘s door He brought her wildflowers and even more He longed to marry her, be bride and groom She did not want to be part of his doom She sleeps in another’s bed to feel bliss Where does her soul go when she sins like this? The young man's heart’s aching bitterly now But still he’s yearning to win her somehow One evening he told her: „I beseech thee!“ „Thou art fair, my beloved, please marry me.“ „I shall not marry thee, thou had better drown” „That's all that I have to say to thee now” “Come and fight” the colonel’s drum called for war The young boy readily to his fate swore Thus he decided that he would enlist To ease his heartache that still did persist Hey! The mare tows the cart from the battlefield Carrying bodies that will never heal Hey! The blood flows down and into the streams Verze 1: Witnessing deadmen’s life-long dreams Verze 2: Washing away their life-long dreams obě verze jsou gramaticky správně For war, the officers trained him there well Uniform, helmet, a black leaden shell Saber and musket, he was taught to wield Hopefully, he won't die out in the field Fourteen years now that the soldier had served His boyish love in his heart he preserved And when the enemies unleashed their hell The only battle cry was the death knell Hey! ... The soldier struck down, lies there in the mud Saber and quilted coat covered in blood They found him lying, and they patched him up Then sent him home, could he be saved by love? Outside the village, the military carts Girl’s tears are dripping and pain in their hearts The soldier commanded his soul to God Before he laid his eyes on his beloved Hey! ... “Why did not thou, dear, want me for thy bride?” “Why did thou rather take Death for a guide?” “I could have had a nice young handsome man” “I didn't have to feed the sick old man” “I say, thou, jump in as the river flows” “Give up thy heart to the black depths below” “Thou chose the evil man, the choice was thine” “And sentenced the good boy as well to die” “Thou chose the evil man, the choice was thine” “And sentenced the good boy as well to die”
