Stone Cold 09:51
I crawl And curl up in a dark corner To shield Me from the pain I bear inside I let the darkness cover me like a blanket Hushing me, and rocking me to sleep As I’m lying here I’m crying out this all numbing pain Darkness Is slowly covering me like a blanket Crying While I wish away the cold crystalising pain I want to lie here with these stones Curled up in the dark Waiting for the warmth to reach my heart Coldness Is creeping up inside me My heart Beats its cold, numbing beat I want to lie here with these stones Curled up in the dark Still waiting for the warmth Thoughts are racing through my mind Like memories without a destination As the deafening voices that form a silent scream So if you please, could cover my ears? And calm the storm in my mind I can’t leave this maelstrom on my own It’s pulling me And holding me This pandemonium of thoughts is choking me So push and pull at this lump in my throat I don’t care what it takes I don’t care if it hurts If it rips me open Then cut it out And let it bleed to cleanse my body and my mind I am curled up here lying in the dark My heart still beats its cold and numbing beat Please, will you join me here between these stones And, calm the voices screaming in my mind So, would you kindly tear me open and return the fire in my heart? [solo’s] I lie here curled up , in a dark corner To shield me from, the pain I bear inside I can’t go on, with this life any longer This pain inside me, has numbed all of my feelings Stay with me. Curl up with me So, will you lie here with me? Under the cover of these stones Then, would you kindly tear me open And return, the fire in my heart?

To Ashes 05:29
Man: Sit down and welcome I invite you to this room Listen up. Oh, listen well For it’s important what I tell Gaze into the mirror Look deep into your eyes Beauty is in the eye of the beholder And I behold you Oh tell me, have you made yourself comfortable? Please tell me, have you made yourself at ease? Oh tell me, have you made yourself comfortable? Girl: What is this place that I’ve awoken in? I feel a presence in this room A voice that is trying to comfort me But I hear darkness in his tone A now familiar voice is calling me He speaks from behind the wall unseen Fueled with that burning tone of insanity He fills my heart and mind with rage There is a bed in this Eerie room It doesn't comfort me As I lie in here Staring into the darkness of time Focussing on the clock deafening ticking away my time All I can do is let it slip by Lying here, forgotten to the world Like dust collecting on the windowsill So my time disintegrates I ask myself... Why am I here? As I cling on to the Life I had He tries to break my will With his burning voice trying to tear my whole world apart Ripping the threads of my Consciousness Trying to flee his grip But I feel my mind slipping away Man: Oh, you know my love You're the one I need For I will make you be Mine eternally! You will find out that I can make you I can break you Into anything I like And as I create and mold from clay I know that there will be a day From the ashes that I burn My love will be your urn

Secret Place 11:08
[Clarinet & Guitar] The day gets brighter As my mood turns to gray Another day of  struggle Another pain to face   I turn from view As I close the door behind Whispering and shouting And crying to the world   I feel so helpless as I’m Caught in the web of my life I feel so helpless on my own   The night gets darker While I tuck myself to sleep Take me to my secret place Where everything is real   In my secret place I soar above the clouds Like a seagull in the wind of time Where life is passing under me   I feel so helpless as I’m Caught in the web of my life I feel so helpless on my own   [Saxophone & piano]   As I stand here in my world Where I cross seas and meadows and fly high over mountaintops   The flowers bloom and birds sing Colours and tunes just for me Here in my world I rule them all   I can fight here I can win here And there’s no task I can’t beat   Where I’m mighty Like a lion But there is no one here to see [Solo] I can fight there I can win there And there’s no task I can’t beat   Where I’m mighty Like a lion But there is no one there to see   Breaking out of the web, I will leave my pain behind  I have crossed my seas and meadows, take up to the sky Flying through the winds of time as life passed under me There, where it’s all real   Breaking out of the web, leave my secret place behind  I will spread my wings on wide and take up to the sky Fight the darkness face the days There’s no task I can’t beat Here in the real world   My secret place where I soar above the clouds I watch as life passed under me I think it’s time to land

Omniverse 09:11
Start at zero, start with none A point that’s nowhere has (now) become A second point found to combine Dimension one – connecting line Multiplication, from one to four Created outwards from within the core Length and width can be compared When lines expand into a square Free those lines, from where they grew Rise in height for a real in-depth view Length (and) width and height in curves Three dimensions of a visible world Past to future – mere variation The fourth dimension of spatial duration Compressed again into a line Forming a maze called time Past the fourth plane of being As if shattering a mirror Through choices that were made Passing what was hoped for Histories are fractured Identities lie scattered Decisions are coalesced where… divergence is reflected From within five dimensions Into the sixth perspective Divided and undetected Remaining, still connected Spiral into a singularity… of reality – one infinity Seven dimensional framework Design of a universe Drifting away into a place Where wildest dreams collide and hide Beyond the borderlines of nature Into a multiverse of insight Breaking rules, dividing laws Past barriers of imagination Nothing seems real nor strange... ...in the eighth and ninth dimension Ten dimensional directions Wherein everything resides An omnipresent succession Where all reality unites Singular timeless awakening A quantum symphony of being Harmonic paradigms of creation Eternal God-like perfection

White 11:46
Part 1 - Setting the scenery: Flakes flutter to the ground Silencing the night Turning the world around me Slowly, very slowly Into an innocent scenery Covering the ground Like a carpet of white Part 2 - Running from the nightmare: Muffled sounds in the undergrowth It feels like the forest is watching me What causes this feeling of anxiety? Is something chasing me? But the tracks… But the tracks… A glimmer in the darkness Piercing in my back A feeling of unease inside Is there something watching me? A silent fear creeps over me I run, keep looking back To get a glance of what is there Trying to flee from what haunts me In this moonlit white night I’m trying to find my way Out of the darkness But the tracks… But the tracks… Keep betraying me Will this be the scene of my demise? Part 3 - Reconciliation: Still the flakes flutter Falling gently on my face Like a cold kiss of death Putting me under a carpet of white White, I see white White, I feel white Part 4 - Fighting the fear: Slowly closing in I feel the grasp of darkness Red stains on white tapestry I curse on this white scenery White is the colour that I feel White Pain, oh I hurt I want to close my eyes White is the colour that I see White White is the colour that I feel White Tired of the fear Afraid of what is to come I don’t want to fight Anymore… Part 5 - Closure: While the flakes still flutter The world turns around me Very slowy I close my eyes And all that surrounds me is… White

Breathe 03:05
I lie in bed and close my eyes And focus on your breath That warms up my skin Your shoulder gently moves And makes the cover whisper (to me) I lie in bed and close my eyes And listen to the beating of your heart The sound of a gentle thump Just for me I lie in bed and open my eyes As I touch the golden morning light Following the flakes Flutter on your pale white skin I lie in bed and open my eyes Look deep into your dark brown eyes As they smile to me I let me drown into your soul And I try to find Every endearing thought Every endearing memory you gave to me I lie in bed And close my eyes A flush of tears that burns behind As the covers of the bed stop whispering I hold you close...
