There was a man standing in evening’s cold Leather black boots and tattered green coat Under the raven hair lust in the eyes „Stranger what is that your heart most desires?“ Told to a man and as he had no sight He wandered the world at neverending night He stepped to him forward and accepted the price Wandering now on with new pair of eyes There came a man with a help of his son Shorter than all of those who have come As legless he was he wanted to know Once again the feeling of the feet of his own „And you my friend see I can no lost Strenght or bag of the coins could be just yours What is then price you say for your soul?“ „Let me just love once again and for all“

Bewitched 04:14
Look into my eyes, see the flame that's burning Blackened dark streams in my veins are flowing See I cannot what I used to be Losing chains of past, I was set free I am Bewitched! Set me free! Don't look my way, don't turn your side to me now there is only one path leading to my friend, eternal fire no more time for me, my life the liar I am Bewitched! Set me free! I am no more living, yet still I am not dead There's no way back now, don't feel sad here comes the end, it's not yet that far Let us embrace ourselves as we are! Set me free!

Be without fear When voices of those who died you can hear I just want to know What means to be alive once more Into the woods Where spirits dance all night Into the woods Where my heart belongs Into the woods where spirits dance all night Into the woods Where my heart belongs Let them come closer Let them embrace your heart I just want to know What means to be alive once more Into the woods Where spirits dance all night Into the woods Where my heart belongs Into the woods Where spirits dance all night Into the woods To join the last waltz

Cheers! 02:51
When I was in forest, hunting a deer there came an old men and asked me for beer I lay down my weapon and I hold up a bock then we both set onto the ancient rock We sang like the brothers, we cheered with the wine we’re calling the rain, everything was fine With us was singing the all friendly woods We saw all the twice, but in happy moods Soon the night came, and sun went down I was getting tired, and I give the yawn But in the one moment I looked on the ground My unbreathing body in stound there I found I looked at old men, he was laughing aloud Then I mentioned old stories which were floating around About these forests and spirits and ghost Then I realized I’m drinking with one of those He told me „Don’t worry, the death isn’t so bad. You can drink with me though you are now dead“ So I waved a hand and I’ve gulped a gin a happier end this couldn’t have been.

Riding, winter night, on the horse he's pale like my soul. Snowfall and the icy winds, it is covering my loneliness through the time So don't be afraid, close your eyes and hold my hand I will take you with me to my kingdom where you will carry the feathered crown In my dreams I'm riding unicorn through magic fields and forests I'm running with antlers on my head I'm the Son of the Trees Mountains and the snowy plains where the desperate man fall There I'm calling sun, but nothing will ever come So don't be afraid, close your eyes and hold my hand I will take you with me to my kingdom where you will carry the feathered crown In my dreams I'm riding unicorn through magic fields and forests I'm running with antlers on my head I'm the Son of the Trees You will never see me again my beautiful star Your teardrops are drowning me down, but my journey leads me away So don't be afraid, close your eyes and hold my hand I will take you with me to my kingdom where you will carry the feathered crown In my dreams I'm riding unicorn through magic fields and forests I'm running with antlers on my head I'm the Son of the Trees So don't be afraid, close your eyes and hold my hand I will take you with me to my kingdom where you will carry the feathered crown

In a midnight rain When all the stars fell down There came young strong man This night – it was time for his hunt Hundred miles away He thought of his beautiful wife And with memories of his son He hold up his saex knife Raindrops above high-born trees sounded like battle drum He has just heard his enemies… Their sound, their sound, their sound He just wanted to go and To shut up the song of his pray To kill these howling beasts To get them from this world away Then he started to run And after little while His heart began beat loud It has slipped out of his mind His eyes didn’t see Anything all around And only thing he heard Was this terrible werewolf’s song Time ran out of him Many hours passed by Then he saw them both Howling in moonlight After bloody dance Hunter looked at his pray She-wolf and her young Won’t see the day again But then the sunrise came And light amongst raindrops And while it touched werewolves Wolf’s look became lost Sky couldn’t stop crying And all the world calmed down Man’s face was marked by blood of his wife And his knife was in his son

There is the bloom behind the trees, makes you fall onto your knees. The beautifulness of this kind, which everyone is used to find and after that it’ll make them blind. You’re just a hummingbird, by sweet nectar you’re blurred. Which you always wanted to taste, all your life you’ll for it waste and you’ll ever act in haste. The nectar,it’s warming through your veins, it’ll take you to eternal plains. Where smoothy harmony you’ll get, but you’ll weave into a net and your view will paint in red. Because this bloom it’s not what it seems to be, when it catch your heart, you’ll never be free. This kind will tore apart your hope, you will feel the pain that you can’t cope and the rest of your life you’ll mope away. And nothing can ever protect you from this end, you will be shut in the darkened land. Only the wise trees which are dreaming of the world, they know the same as sky above that this bloom we called a love.

Shining of a new dawn Above the cliffs of chalk The water and sand I touched and with raindrops I stepped on the shore With cloak covering my scars And the fading hope Burning my past behind I laid my feet on the road On Canterbury road To the shrine of better days Light a candle of your own For my shattered soul Barely the flame in my eyes Keeps its filling my heart My legs they carry me no more But you my friend you can still walk No my friend there‘s no other way No cure to stop the pain I am doomed Now you must take the way down the road On Canterbury road To the shrine of better days Light a candle of your own For my shattered soul
