1. SPRING : GRAVES OF WINTER'S END

The time to come, to throw away the cloak, moments to laugh, today...
Night is to end, we see the fallen ones, thy land, the graves of winter.

I see them crawl around, they are to leave the shade, we hear them mourn, today...
Now they are here, snow's melting soon, 'cause they have left the graves of winter.

I see them dancing, dancing on the grave,
The fallen ones that summer could not bend.
I see them stalking, laughter all around,
Dancing on the graves of winter´s end.

I hope the snow will melt, again the waters flow, the sun will rise, today...
Black candles burn, and others go to sleep, to sink into the graves of winter.

Now fear grows in my heart, and tears will shine by now, I see them flow, today...
Open your chest, and sun will crawl inside, and flee the dusty graves of winter.


2. SUMMER : ETERNITY

Shadows of a doubt have fallen on my soul, for you might fade, as I went away.
Alone you remained, shot in the back, with blood I've been stained.

I will lay my head, your shade's for free, then I can sleep till eternity.

Did I promise you I won't stay away, for nothing will keep me as I sway.
No time to cry, and summer will be here, right by your side.

I'll stay with you, the sun's going down, starlight grows, alone through the night.
And still the wind blows, the thorn in your side, aches, but it shows.


3. AUTUMN : AND WE FALL

In the October haze the world is turning red.
Lost souls no one can name are slightly going mad.
Ghostly creatures slowly stalking through the fog.
From somewhere in the distance a lonesome barking dog.

[Chorus]
And we fall, fall, fall, like the oak tree's decayed leaves.
And we fall, fall, fall, like lemmings full of grief.
And we fall, fall, fall, like warm September rain.
And we fall - into a new morning.

Like deep blackened dreams a veil falls over the land.
Time is running slower now through waves of endless sand.
The ancient tides are turning as the autumn wind reveals.
Wounds of our lives that nevermore will heal.

The thicker mist appears, the clearer becomes my mind,
As memories of summer touch me from behind.
Finally I realize this fight cannot be won,
Time is near to end my life and start another one.


4. WINTER : THE CROW

Piercing ice, like frozen tears, winter's close at hand.
In the churchyard I´m waiting, where we all will land.

[Chorus]
In my mind, and in my soul - flies along the crow.
In my fears, and in my dreams - sways around the crow.

Swiftly wailing, morning whispers, now they pass my home,
They embrace me, hallow's shining, as they gather 'round my dome.

In their view, around their heads, flies along the crow.
In their past, eternity, sways around the crow

We've come together in this december day to lay a man to rest.
To mourn about someone, who was young by years, who still had a lot of days to see the sunrise.
And as the snowflakes fall, his soul will rise to heaven.

Silent screamings, hathred growing, revenge be on my side,
Close your door, your window too, don't you dare to sleep at night.

[Chorus]
