Janitor
of Lunacy
Janitor
of lunacy
Paralyze my infancy
Petrify the empty cradle
Bring hope to them and me
Janitor
of tyranny
Testify my vanity
Mortalize my memory
Deceive the Devil's deed
Tolerate
my jealousy
Recognize the desperate need
Janitor
of lunacy
Identify my destiny
Revive the living dream
Forgive their begging scream
Seal
the giving of their seed
Disease the breathing grief

The
Falconer
The
falconer is sitting on
His summersand at dawn
Unlocking flooded silvercages
And with a silverdin arise
All the lovely faces
And the lovely silvertraces erase
My empty pages
The
falconer is sitting on
His summersand at dawn
Beside his singing silverwaves
And his dancing rebelrace
That compose ahead of timeless time
A sound inside my candle light
Father
child
Angels of the night
Silverframe my candlelight
Father
child
Angels of the night
Silverframe my candlelight
The
falconer is sitting on
His summersand at dawn
Unlocking flooded silvercages
And with a silverdin arise
All the lovely faces
And the lovely silvertraces erase
My empty pages

My
Only Child
My
only child be not so blind
See what you hold
There are no words no ears no eyes
To show them what you know
Their
hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
The
morning small
Too small to fill their ways with breathing
The evening tall
My
only child remember well
The words that you are told
For some of them it is only easy to survive
Their
hands are old
Their faces cold
Their
bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
The
morning small
The evening tall
Man
and wife are feasting the time
The time that lies behind
At home in sweetness and delight
Drinking the bitter wine
Their
hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
The
morning small
The evening tall

Le
Petit Chevalier
Je
suis le petit chevalier
Avec le ciel dessus mes yeux
Je ne peux pas me effroyer
Je
suis le petit chevalier
Avec la terre dessous mes pieds
J'irai te visiter
J'irai te visiter
Translation
I
am the small knight
With the sky up above my eyes
I cannot be scared
I
am the small knight
With the earth down below my feet
I shall visit you
I shall visit you

Abschied
Seinem
Geiste bekenne Ich Mich
Ein Sehnen verzehret sein schönes Gesicht
Das ermattet von G¨¹te beschattet allmächtig ist
Sein
Körper bewegt sich nicht
Im Traume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt
Den
heulenden Jubel erkenne Ich nicht
Der Mir den heiligen Frieden zerbricht
Sein schweigender Mund, seine schlafende Brust
Harren zärtlich der s¨¹ßen Lust
Sein
Körper bewegt sich nicht
Im Traume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt
Translation
To
his spirit I confess
A longing consumes his beautiful face
It wearies, shaded from goodness, being almighty
His
body lies still
Dreaming, he finaly forgets his compulsion
I
don't recognize the roar of jubilation
That destroys the holy peace for me
His silent mouth, his sleeping chest
Awaiting delicately for the sweet desire
His
body lies still
Dreaming, he finaly forgets his compulsion

Afraid
Cease
to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Have someone else's will as your own
Have someone else's will as your own
You
are beautiful and you are alone
You are beautiful and you are alone
Often
the adolescent plague
Reward your grace
Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace
Confuse
your hunger capture the fake
Confuse your hunger capture the fake
Banish
the faceless reward your grace
Banish the faceless reward your grace

M¨¹tterlein
Liebes
kleines M¨¹tterlein
Nun darf ich endlich bei Dir Sein
Die Sehnsucht und die Einsamkeit
Erlösen sich in Seligkeit
Liebes
kleines M¨¹tterlein
Nun darf ich endlich bei Dir Sein
Die Sehnsucht und die Einsamkeit
Erlösen sich in Seligkeit
Die
Wiege ist Dein Heimatkleid
Ein Schweben Deine Herrlichkeit
In Wonne wandelt Dein Herzeleid
Und greift in die siegende Flut hinein
Die
Wiege ist Dein Heimatkleid
Ein Schweben Deiner Herrlichkeit
In Wonne wandelt Dein Herzeleid
Und greift in die siegende Flut hinein
Translation
Dear
little mummy
At last I can be near you
Longing and loneliness
Are redeemed through blessings
Dear
little mummy
At last I can be near you
Longing and loneliness
Are redeemed through blessings
The
cradle that is your native dress
Floats along your magnificence
The pain in your heart turned into joy
Holds back in the conquered flood
The
cradle that is your native dress
Floats along your magnificence
The pain in your heart turned into joy
Holds back in the conquered flood

All
That Is My Own
Your
winding winds stood so
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed
Every
child will be able to weep
Every wise man spoke of him
Every keeper will be sleeper
And a guide to ways unsure
Your
winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed
He
who knows may pass on
The word unknown
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore
Your
winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed
He
who knows may pass on
The word unknown
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore
Your
winding winds stood so
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed
He
who knows may pass on the word I know
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore
Your
winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed
