I´ll Call Thee Hamlet

angels and ministers of grace defend us!
be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn’d,
bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell, be thy intents wicked or charitable,
thou com’st in such a questionable shape
that I will speak to thee – speak to thee – speak to thee
speak to thee – speak to thee
I’ll call thee Hamlet / I’ll call thee Hamlet, o answer me.
it will not speak, then I will follow it –
follow it I do not set my life at a pin‘s fee,
and for my soul, what can it do to that,
and for my soul, what can it do to that,
being a thing immortal as itself;
it waves me forth again – forth again – forth again,
I’ll follow it. – (I’ll) follow it. – (I’ll) follow it.
I’ll call thee Hamlet / I’ll call thee Hamlet,
king, father, royal Dane / king, father, royal Dane.
o answer me.
what may this mean, that thou. /
dead corse, again in complete steel
revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, /
making night hideous / and we fools of nature
so horridly to shake our disposition - our disposition / with thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
with thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls? /
say why is this? wherefore?
say why is this? wherefore?
I’ll call thee Hamlet / I’ll call thee Hamlet,
king, father, royal Dane / king, father, royal Dane.

The Healer
04:21

stay ‚till I know, ‚till you show, who is the leader
please let me cope, give me hope, I shall receive
why would I sway, should I play, the roman heathen
fall on my sword, so you know, that I believe
I will follow you through deserts
(I will) follow through the snow
I am dancing madly sideways
I am falling in slow-mo
although you know
I won‘t let go
and still I grow, and I know, there is a healer all,
saints and scum, come undone, I am his son
I will bless you in the desert
I will bless you in the snow
you‘ll be dancing madly sideways
I will send you down below
until I know
you can let go
the time has come for healers
the time has come – for us
until I know
you can let go
the time has come for healers
the time has come – for us until I know you can let go
the time has come for healers
the time has come – for what?

Closer

closer / dramatic score and a mother
who could not stay with the other /
refugees in this hell
later / showing no mercy / we capture
an angry mob with a liar /
who couldn‘t pretend anymore
come closer / please close my eyes and stay /
so close to me your island will be lost and found again
closer / she took my heart and she left her
confusion here instead /
like stale air in my head
come closer / please close my eyes and stay /
so close to me your island will be lost and found again /
again
closer / our eyes dried out and I told her “I came, I saw, I conquered” /
just trying to make it work
come closer / come closer
come closer / please close my eyes and stay /
so close to me your island will be lost and found again
come closer now / this close to me
my heart

Remembrance

mine eye hath play‘d the painter and hath stell‘d
thy beauty‘s form in table of my heart;
my body is the frame wherein ‚tis held,
and perspective it is the painter‘s art.
for through the painter must you see his skill,
to find where your true image pictured lies;
which in my bosom‘s shop is hanging still,
hat hath his windows glazed with thine eyes.
now see what good turns eyes for eyes –
now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me
are windows to my breast, where-through the sun
delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee;
now see what good turns eyes for eyes –
now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art;
they draw but what they see, know not the heart.
now see what good turns eyes for eyes –
now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done.

Falling
04:48

|
don‘t you feel the time
all enduring night
across my face your silhouette
suspended here for so long
don‘t you know you‘re sleepless now
am I really standing alone
maybe I‘m falling / falling
maybe I‘m falling / falling
so long / so long / so long /
suspended here for so long
hint of morning glow
shrouded in the cold
feel the fire interplay
suspended here for so long
the light and dark entwined
turn my head with the tide
the never ending pirouette
suspended here for so long
don‘t you know you‘re sleepless now
am I really standing alone
maybe I‘m falling / falling
maybe I‘m falling / falling
falling / falling / falling / falling

Soon

summer has branded
tanned and united
a dream a desire
so deep inside
I was blind and I needed
I needed your breath
would you‘ve let me guide you through –
through the way that I feel
and all you say is
soon
but I don‘t know anything‘bout you
yet you own what no-one knew
the colours of the rainbow
but all you see is red and
your fear is a smile
and your smile is so cold
I‘m waitin‘ for you to leave me
to throw up and spit out
your kisses your smiles,
it‘s just the way that I feel
and all you say is
soon
but I don‘t know anything‘bout you
yet you own what no-one knew

Down
03:50
|
|||
|
I had no time for sorrow
I was waiting in some bar
fleeing is the easy way
I was crying in some car
I was never down / so far
I was never down / now I‘m not living
I was never down / it‘s easier
to be never down / but I‘ve forgiven
I enjoyed sunsets
and all that worthless stuff
I can‘t stand my dreariness
now I think it‘s enough
I was never down / so far
I was never down / see I am living
I was never down / it‘s easier
to be never down / now I‘ve forgiven
now I‘m running / I‘m feeling
I‘m a bit scared / I‘ll loose my soul forever
and I‘m fighting / not healing
cause I still dare / to think will be together

Dance
04:13
|

|
love‘s an ocean / colder than the stars
spiralling up in milky ways
my devotion
hurts me like a scar
never healed in endless pain
dance / dance
love‘s a giant
exhausted to the core
red and bigger than the sun
an implosion
fight the Trojan war
you don‘t mean that much too me
we‘ll be dancing, riding on that wave,
particles explode around
we‘ll be dancing, in the lightning,
we‘ll be dancing, oooohh
we‘re an ocean / colder than the stars
spiralling up in milky ways
my devotion / hurts me like a scar
never healed in endless pain
we‘ll be dancing, riding on that wave
particles explode around
we‘ll be dancing / in the lightning /
we‘ll be dancing / oooohh
dance / dance / dance / oooohh
we‘ll be dancing / in the lightning / oho
we‘re advancing / we‘re enlightning / oho
love‘s a giant / love‘s an ocean / oho
we‘ll be dancing / in the lightning /
we‘ll be dancing / oooohh
dance / dance / dance / oooohh

Apparition

he shall never vanquish‘d be until
great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill
we shall against him
we shall against him
that will never be
who can impress the forest, bid the tree
unfix his earth-bound
unfix his earth-bound root?
sweet bodements! good!
sweet bodements! good!

Daylight
05:36
|
|||
|
come away, come away, death,
and in sad cypres let me be laid;
fly away, fly away, breath;
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
stuck all with yew / no one so true
ah – ah – ah – ah
the daylight / your fair shade / an overcoat of shame
in dead night / so darkly bright / O come away, I‘m slain
ah – ah – ah – ah
all days are darkened nights,
to see till I see thee,
and nights are all bright days,
when dreams do show thee me.
the daylight / your fair shade / an overcoat of shame
in dead night / so darkly bright / O come away, I‘m slain

Woods of Birnam

out all
all our yesterdays
have lighted fools
out, out brief candle!
‘morrow and tomorrow
fretting on stage
then is heard no more
life is but a poor player
life is but a tale
full of sound and fury and exuberance
told to us by an idiot
who stands upon the stage and then
then is heard no more
a tale
the way to dusty death
from day to day
signifying nothing
‘morrow and tomorrow
strutting on stage
‘till the last syllable of time
life is but a poor player
life is but a tale
full of sound and fury and exuberance
told to us by an idiot
who stands upon the stage and then
then is heard no more
