A Solitary Man's Soul

Light shone in one Sunday morning
I grew up without a warning
Misty hills and darklit mountains
Traumatized, well-hid

Lonely boat on cold, still water
Locked in tower, only daughter
Locked, the doors that want to open
A pool of tears remain

Walking in the shadows, landscape
From the things I want to escape
Knowing full and well I stay connected with my hell

Stillness over the water
The traumatized, heavy waters

I used to be so young and free
But now I′m bound by the bonds that be

I know what I should do
And I've known it for a long time
And I′ve only got to do it

Brain is formed by choices before
Standing by the water, sea shore
Set the sails, lower the bridge
The princess still is sleeping

Serene, unearthly winds are blowing
Stones and dirt in clear eyes, throwing
Clarity has vanished like some last breath on earth

Breed my name
Breathe my name

It has been said it's just a phase
Like a rare smile on my face

I know what I could be
And I do struggle with destiny
And to get through
No wonder I feel blue

I once had a dream before
Standing on the chessboard floor
Marble pillars, abyss, castle
Clopping hooves approaching

Tarot card above the churchyard
'Round before my life got hard
Hand in sky, light whirling
Like some Vortex of delight

A sign in the sky
Without knowing why

A dream showed up and messed me up
Until your time is up, don′t you ever give up

I know what I have done, and I′ll give
I need to live with that, and to forgive
Myself and other ones
