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
