I Will Stand

I have come from the darkest pain
(But) Not hell shall make me fear again.
On these wounded fields I will stand,
Till death rips my sword from my hand.
Oh, yes. It was always the same
The skies they were ashen. And grim was the plain.
And he bloody thorns of the dying sunshine
And unshaken I stand. Alone, sublime
I’ve seen this twilight thousand times
The tired pale light of broken eyes
Dented armors, nicked, dull swords
Maimed bodies laying in hoards
I’ve seen this twilight thousand times
The tired pale light of ashen cold skies
And I heard the horns far away they ring
And I saw myself as my last song I sing
“Out of dark I have come
At last I see the giant, red sun
Brothers call me, for me brothers wait
Unshaken I stand, and laugh at my fate”
I swear I shall hold my sword in my hand
I swear on these wounded fields I will stand
On these wounded fields I will stand

This Winter In My Heart
04:33

On mountains so high, so forlorn
From the love of the frost and the sky she was born.
She was born and avalanches cried out.
And abysses were opening wide like hungry mouths.
In the shape of the storm she rushed to the south
And dying trees were falling to the ground.
And this voice of their falling - like a melody -
Whispered into my ear: “she’s looking for thee”
She ran to west to the sea
Where waves are murmuring so silently
And the waves froze to stone
They will stand forever damned, alone.
She came nearer and nearer every night
And all at once she stood before me tight.
With her arms as white as snow she embraced me
And whispered into my ear: “I’m looking for thee”.
It will forever burn on my lips,
On my skin, in my flesh her frightful kiss.
I know from me she will never part,
And no one will melt more this winter in my heart.

Crimson Waters

I wash my arms in crimson creek
On cold marble I put my cheek
I put my cheek on cold stone
I don’t sigh I don’t moan
I’m not afraid and the streams flow
They run they rise in crimson they glow
Crimson waves sweep away me
Chilly winds spread about me
Fallen leaves will some time hide me
And blessed snow will cover up me
I put my cheek on cold stone
I don’t sigh I don’t moan
Scarlet oceans, melted ruby
Sorrow bathes my face softly
It falls drop by drop as melting ice drips
Mixed with waters of crimson streams
