lyrics

[Carnival]

Outside
The storm clouds gathering
Moved silently along the dusty boulevard
Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks
So they can in turn reach up and kiss the sky

They are driven by a strange desire
Unseen by the human eye
Someone is calling

I remember when you held my hand and
In the park we would play when the circus came to town
Look! Over here

Outside
The circus gathering
Moved silently along the rain swept boulevard
The procession moved on, the shouting is over
The fabulous freaks are leaving town

[Imhotep]

Armes, dunkes Wolkenkind
Hast dich erneut im Sturm gehüllt
Im fadenschein’gen Peschgewand
Dich selbst in ew’ger Nacht verbannt
Die undürchdringlich‘ zweite Haut
Hat die Grenze zur Welt erbaut
Als Eierschale hart wie stein
Lässt sich kein Licht noch Wärme ein

Eiskalte wände, falsches Haus
Kein Leben schlupft aus dir heraus
Kein ungeborenes reift heran
Nur noch ein zomiger, alter Mann
Grämt sich im inneren ewiglich
Selbst von dem Tod fürchtet er sich

Armes, dunkles Wolkenkind
Den schlimsten Kurs dein Geist stets nimmt
Dein Pfad des Grau’ns ist trugerich
Birgt nichts als Schmerz und Leid für dich

Szenarien deine Angst ersinnt
Die niemals war, noch wirklich sing
So fürchtbar tost der Sturm in dir
Dies böse alte, Ungetier
Lockt aus der Finsternis hervor
Den garstig zischelnd Schattenchor
Der, wie ein kalter, kranker Hauch
Sich fäulig häuft in Deinem Bauch
Und dann als ekler Leichenwind
Güte und schönheit von dir nimmt

Oh armes, dunkles Wolkenkind

[Carnival]

We sat and watched as the moon rose
For the very last time
