Reincarnate
our lids awake, our eyes open wide
the light of a new day’s dawning.
We awake from a slumber consuming our life
a place where the void is yawning.
our bodies we raise, from the pit they are in
by hope and despair we’re driven.
make peace with our failures, come clean with our sins
forgive us to be forgiven.
We're forcing the shadows of what we have been
back to the holes they came from.
we’re closing a chapter, let a new one begin.
we’re dying to be reborn.
The sun shines as golden as never before
touching our new existence
the pain of the past soon won’t hurt anymore
it’s turning into resistance
our bones they are weary (but) our hearts wide awake
inflamed by the white flag’s burning
our voices we raise, the silence we break,
and feel that the tide is turning
Die to come alive
burn to be purified
rise from flames with pride
your life is sanctified
Reincarnate

Nephil's Burden or the Deep Split
I am a heaven born
But stuck inside this hell
My head inside the clouds, my feet inside the caverns of the ground.
My burnin wings are torn,
My life's a prison cell.
My hands are diggin but no freedom can be found
Between a god and something lesser than a man.
We must make peace with this creature we became
find refuge 'tween the devil and our fathers grace
our evidence in pain and in our weathered face.
Watching our halo fading to grey
watching the world
fall into pieces
like we fell from
grace into madness, and misery
ugly and deep is
the trace we re-
placed, by relentless agony
rip out our feathers they dont suit us anymore
break our will or tell us what we'd use for
soft is the voice and way to soothing to ignore
we feed the devil like we never did before
strong is the arm,
weak is the mind
released the hunger
gone the divine
farer from heaven
than i could be
fierce is the beast
inside of me
Your hands i cant reach them
your words, i cant hear them
my faith, it is broken
your love, i cant feel it
your justice, i fear it
my cross, you dont bear it
This is the deep split,
The great insult
The gaping wound you only heal
With glowing steel and something fun to kill the pain
We are the misfits,
Life is a revolt,
against the split from the inner god inside us all, that lies in chains
Chain my wings to the wall but you will never kill
the spark of the divine or tame my demons' will
unbowed my head defiant my tormented chest
a furious soul alas is dwelling in my breast
Stick to your arms
prepare for war
we are not what
we were before
split is the world
and so are we
became our cruelest enemy

Out of the Blue

Out of the blue
Close your eyes until everything that counts is out of sight
Hold your breath until there's no one left breathing
Lay your head to rest until the day is gone and turns to night
Shut your mouth, there is nothing worth speaking about
Feel your rebellion against the words you spoke and tried to make them true.
Leave it behind,
You don't need it to live
Feel your aggression against what you believed til it rolled over you.
Swallow it down,
Keep quiet and forgive.
Because blessed are the silent, and holy the meek
Like sand through hands my life is slips away
It gets devoured like paper in the flames
I need a reboot or at least a change,
This was my home, when did i become a stranger
My life a mess
My soul's endangered
My heart's distressed
But i will not wince, nor cry aloud
you won't see me whimper nor hear me shout
Cause blessed are the silent, and holy the meek
( lost is the misguided, complacent, clamorous crowd )
And when the noise is gone
Leave everything behind and make it new
And when the void has come
recreate yourself out of the blue
A blank sheet of paper
You'r the words, you are the feather you're the ink
Make it a prophecy of what the rising morning will bring
Keep your eyes shut
Calm your breathing down
Chill your hot blood
Keep your feed on the ground
It is crucial
Not to make a sound
To enter the cradle of silence
To forget about your sorrows and your frowns
All your misery
And your anger
All your sadness, and your hate
And your happiness
And your passion
All distraction, let it fade

Ich kann nicht mehr kämpfen, zu lange schon währt der Krieg.
Ich lege meine Waffen und Rüstung nieder und so stehe ich da, nackt, schutzlos aber mit der Ahnung einer Unschuld, die mir und meines Gleichen vielleicht einmal innewohnte, lange vor dem ersten Schlag meines Herzen und der ersten Regung meines Lides.
Ich hülle mich in Schweigen da alles was gesagt werden musste bereits gesagt wurde und jedes weitere Wort eine eitle Posse, eine tote Hülle ohne Bedeutung und Schönheit wäre.
Und so wenig die Schöpfung der Lobpreisungen durch meiner Worte Spiel bedarf, so wenig bedarf sie der Opfergaben durch meiner Hände Arbeit.
Ich bin ohne Sinn und bald werde ich ohne Leben sein.
Ich beruhige meinen Atem, schließe meine Augen und gelobe meinen Körper der Erde und meinen Geist der mächtigen Leere, der alles umschließenden Stille, dem ewig währenden Schlaf zu übergeben.
Und während ich in ein gleißendes Licht gebadet werde, welches sich mir in Gestalt vollkommener Dunkelheit offenbart bete ich, ohne zu wissen zu wem und ohne tatsächlich daran zu glauben erhört zu werden, dass ich endlich Ruhe finden werde.
Und Frieden.
*English*
I can't fight anymore. I waged this war for too long.
I lay down my weapons and my armour. Naked, defenceless but a bit closer to the innocence that maybe inhered me and my equals long before the first beat of my tiny, fragile heart.
I fall silent because everything that had to be said is said. Every further word would be a waste of air, a dead shell that bears no meaning or beauty.
My bones are weary and so is my restless mind, worn down by a world that maybe once felt like home.
I calm my breath, close my eyes and prepare myself for entering the mighty void, the all-embracing silence, the eternal sleep. And I pray to a God, that in all probability doesn't exist, that i will finally find rest.
And peace.
