How Can I Live On Top Of The Mountain?
Intro

Nightswan
Linger on - oh, waning moon
This midnight hour has come much too soon
By the crystal lake we stand with our names in the sand
Believe me my Love: I will wait for you
And I will return if you still want me too

With the song of the nightswan
And I'll be in heaven!

The lark heralds the break of day
No longer by my side can you stay
In shrouded mists you disappear like a ghost bayadere
Where are you my Love? I'm calling your name
This spell can be broke: Love's ignited the flame

Like the song of the nightswan
And I'll be in heaven!

Oh, believe me my Love I will stand
Laying siege to this fortress of time
With the glory of you in my heart
Charge before the sun touches the rime

The Beltane fires upon the hill
Your hand in mine by the old water-mill
Fairles sing our wedding soung now the moon lingers on
Stay with me my Love, my Angel, my Life
We walked this dark maze so now we will fly

On the wings of the nightswan
And we'll be in heaven

Trying Not To Breathe
Oh, this void inside tears my soul apart
Why did you lie? I lost my faith in you!
Once there was purity but now only perfidy and pain
because you've been untrue!
You broke all promises and now our love is bound to die
And so am I - I die!

Lost forever within the debris of my dreams
I put my trust in you!
How could you leave me in a lurch after all that I‘ve gone through
What the hell did you do?
Down on my knees I pray: Save me, please!
But no hope anymore - I die!

I'm trying not to breathe!
I can't stand this anymore therefore I'll leave
I‘m trying not to breathe!
And so I'll leave this world behind
Broken by faithlessness of the killing kind
I'm trying not to breathe!

Remember when you called my name?
I've been always there for you!
To me it's more than just a game
I loved you too much and still I do!

Now your body's so close to mine
I kiss your lips goodbye
To lie in your arms for a last time
Before I die!

And he dreams of days gone by
Floating down to the other side
A thousand Angels cry
Firing squad against the walls of light

Not again another day
Now his love has lost the last stand
Oh, Angels hear him pray
As he's passing away into her hands!

I'm trying not to breathe!
I can't stand your loss, your lies therefore I'll leave
I'm trying not to breathe!
And so I try to leave the pain behind
Of treason that became the killing kind
I‘m trying not to breathe!

But you swore you‘d love me forever
And it was only yesterday
What have I done to deserve this
Am I destiny's fool?
And I hate you and I love you
For what you‘ve done to me
Oh, shit why did you leave me in such despair?

I'm trying not to breathe
Though I try so hard to reach the other side
I'm trying not to breathe
No more songs for me to sing because you leave
Now I think I see the light: Goodbye, my love!
Oh, I'm trying not to breathe

Baleias Bailando
By the ocean I sat down one day
Saw my life the other way
All those trials to no avail
Broken dreams was all I bloody gained

Remember well when I was a child
They promised me a paradise
They promises turned into lies
Leaving us a world dimise!

Way down, carry me down
To the ocean of love!

Hold me in your arms
Drown me in sweet moisture
Lascivious fiery breath covering overflow
Your fangs softly penetrate
The pleasure and the pain
Dissolving I discern: I'm alive!

I asked for love got a golden cage
Plastic emotions in a plastic age
The pain I felt they told me wasn't real
The Earth! I cried: My last appeal!

Now it's my turn to realize
To change the road to change the side
The past has gone may it rest in peace
A new dawn fades as She sows the seed

A midnight's dream disclosure saw momentous desire
My life layed in your hands, my confidence
The background of reality just one step away
Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare?

In dreams I died a thousand times
But then one dream: A golden shrine
Her whispered words did soothe my grief
What a candour in this world of thieves

I hear the call of the roaring sea
Still a fire's burning inside of me
The wind shall take me to another shore
The Earth I am for evermore!

Alone again I stand amongst the debris of a dream
Having to face once more the madness of love
But I know tha the Goddess will hear my yearning call
And her enchanting song will make my heart dance

Dancing In The Midnight Sun
Farewell pretty one: It's all over now you've gone
After all that we went through
You left me when I needed you by my side
The times we shared the good and bad
Were the best I've ever had the best years of my life

For we were dancing in the midnight sun
Our love became too wild
I loved you like a child
The fire went out went out before dawn
And I broke down and cried
And I drowned and died

Farewell pretty one: I've put all my faith in you
And I can't understand: Did you lie on that night
You said you'd never let me go?
Oh, I believed each word you've said
I believed until the end
It's so hard to realize you never wanted me
That close by your side

And the snow falls back in time
Down the hillside on our siedge we'd ride
We were laughin in the january sun
And for a moment time stood still as we rode on and on

Still the snow falls on Yile-tide
Falls forever on that dreary mountainside
And the ghost of our love stands right above:
A monument of your smile
And our laughter that died so long ago lingers on and on
Never will I forget the last winter of our love

Goodbye pretty one: you broke my heart twice now I'm done!
You left me like a dream at the break
Of dawn and I almost died
And even of you're lying now in someone else's arms
I'm still with you in a dream
In dreams of days gone by the best days of my life
Goodnight my love, goodnight

Planet Kyrah
Oh, you changed everything
Nothing's the same anymore
I see colours I've never seen before
I hear songs that make my heart sing with joy

You set my heart on fire like it never burned before
And I'm sure that up there in the sky
Shine some new-born stars
That were not known until tonight

Can you hear me ground-control?
I think I'm lost in space
Do you hear me ground-control?
An unknown planet appears on my screen

Never thought I'd be an astronaut
Never thought I'd leave the Earth
Never thought I'd I'd fly so high
Break through the sky while you hold my in you embrace

And as the air starts getting thin
Your lips on mine exchanging love's oxygen
And the last call they receive:
Our capsule vanishing somewhere behind Andromeda

We can't hear you ground-control!
I think we're lost in space!
We can't hear you anymore!
An unknown planet appears on our screen

I'll meet you tonight on Planet Kyrah!
I'll kiss you tonight on Planet Kyrah!

The Sea
Down in the gutter of roken hearts I lie
In eight months time died the love of my life
Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that
You crept away like a thief in the night?

And I'm standing on top of a mountain
Crying bereavement to the stars
Will I make my way without you?
Will I ever get over you?

Oh, this room it seems so strange now
Cause your laughter still echoes inside
Withered roses will never bloom again
Carry my weight: Those memories of you!

Once I felt that you loved me
These days are over, now we're through
Our secret garden lost forever
I never thought you could be that cruel
In cold blood you walked away!

Take me down to the sea
Take me to my last resort d'Amour
Take me down to the sea
Down there my lover's waiting

She has come for our last rendez-voud
Singing, dancing, dreaming
Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry
Drowning in the waves of love that never dies

I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile
Dream-like strains wake me up at night
The memory of her presence faded long ago
Like a vanished trail of smoke

I try in vain to recollect the time
Of love that we once shared
Fragnments of her voice come haunting me at night
How I wished I could turn back time

Her name once written down in my diary
Now frozen between the lines
Gone like last winter's frostwork on the window
Will I ever understand?

Still there's a shadow on the shadow of her smile
Gates of time can never be crossed twice
The frostwork of our love melted all away
But when we die our songs remain!

And comes the winter of our lives
We're trying to keep us warm
With the ashes of our fading memories
Once frostwork's fallen on the ground
You can never bring it back
It's melting without sound

Nights are so cold and empty without you
Still you scent lingers on in my room
Trying to set sails for a new horizon
Trying to keep the candel alight!

Still I'm standing on top of the mountain
With my soul floating to the stars
Songs of love and loss while the night
Of this new moon does conceal my bleeding heart!

No regrets I won't look back in anger
Even if it's so hard to forget
Will I survive yet another dark winter
til snow will melt and rivers do flow?

And our time did not last forever
Though our love it seemed so pure
While I face the light of a new day
Hope these memories fade away
How I wished they'd fade away!

Our Last Show
And the rear lights of your car behind the trees they fade away
Walking inside somnambular there goes a lovelorn castaway
Does it always have to be like this? I'll never know
Was it something that I said?
You said: I gotta go while leaving me back here
With my memories and my tears
You won't reappear!

No fire in the lighthouse to guide me tonight
Don't know if our planet's razed
Torn apart by love's meteorite
I know I will lose you
How can I face another daylight?

And I know this could ring down the curtain to our last show
No second chance for Juliet and her Romeo
No applause, no ovations, no bravissimo
Please don't go

Staring at the telephone wondering if I'd try?
I never knew that nights could be that long
And sill I hear your last good-bye
Strange people on the screen
They try to make me laugh but everywhere I see your face
And the photograph on the wall says the you're gone
And I'm waiting for the sun keep dreaming on

Forever I Ride
As the autumn wind blows hard in crafling devastation
I was not prepared to find fate in a state of rage
Love once seemed so strong to me, promising salvation
Another Tragedie d'amour appearing on life's stage
And again he hears the raven's cry

I'm strucked down without warning
With your words like cyanide
She left me in the morning but forever I will ride
And forever I ride

Suddenly I'm lost inside tremendous aberration
Songs that used to make me glad now make me wanna cry
Restlessly I'm walking empty streets up to the station
Standing there in silence as the trains keep passing by
And the turns his face towards the sky

The stars fade in the dawning
But the door's still opened wide
And still I am adorning but forever I will ride
And forever I ride

In love from the first time that I saw you
And the fire in you eyes
Take me to your sea of flowers
Hold me as the wind shakes the rye

I long to be with you
Burning streams like ours cannot disband
The mist it spreads your name in early morning dew
Forever shall you be Queen of the Land

Incense leaving trails of smoke
A vision of us fasting our hands
Angels laying siege to my heart
And I shall not longer withstand

I long to be with you
This love of ours will never ever end
May the silver moon make all our dreams come true
Forever shall you be Queen of the Land

Hear the song of the waves
Storm's calling up the thunder and light
A premature grave overgrown by black lilies of night
Hekate arise! Bring back the love of my life!

Rain falls down it soaks my cloak on this cold grey morning
I missed the last traing that could have me taken back to you!
There's no use in staying here waiting for the dawning
The fool just saddles up again as if he always knew
And again he hears the raven's cry

Farewell
I wanted to live on top of a mountain
But it's cold and forsaken there without you now
I wanted to dive into the ocean of love
But I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams
For you I sang songs of the nightswan
And each line I wrote was a beat of my heart

Forever burning on love's funeral pyre:
Stop beating now my bleeding heart!
For this knife did cut too deep
So for the last time I'm trying not to breathe

Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart:
I gave you so much more than just my love
And you broke so much more than just a promise

Our planet vanished so devastatingly
Amongst the mists of time
There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow's End
Somewhere behind Andromeda

I've been waiting till the end of December
But no more will I ride
For the winter solstice's child
Will pass away silently on a midsummer's night

So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel
Serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me
Hold me in your arms cover me with elder flowers
And take me down to my beloved sea

I'm so tired, so tremendously tired
Please wait for me under the midgnight sun
Where I will sing and dance again
And my laughter will be heard
Echoing down the hillside again

Oh, how I tried to believe how I loved
How I tried to hold on to my dream
How I wanted to live but now I'm going home
To a place where love is more
Than just a four-letter word

And as I kiss the memory of your goodnight
I'm beginning to see the light
