STERNENSTAUB LYRICS

1. Darkness And Stars

Grotesque awakening in filthy embrace
With the cradle of existence eye to eye
A moonlit reflection shows a tortured face
It must be mine, I can't deny

Black night - darkness and stars
Outcast and forsaken in this hostile place
No past - frozen memories
Lost in the abyss between time and space

"You feel as if you were completely newborn
Your amnesia has wiped away your personality
But the embers of your true self are still burning
Brighter than ever before"

Deceptions flash like lightnings
Don't know what life is about
Is this just illusion?
A hidden sense I doubt
Creeping through the shadows
Cannot ease my pain
A life without a meaning
Makes me grow insane

Grotesque vegetating in filthy embrace
With my inner dark side eye to eye
A moonlit reflection shows a restless face
I must find the truth behind this lie

2. The Mind's Eye

There is something deep inside me
That I don't dare to control, a mystique moulding of my soul
Caught within sensoric twilight
All I see is deja-vu, unknown chaos yet nothing new

"Between the worlds you are wandering
Your powers are still too weak to let you distinguish
But if you seek for the answer in the outside world
You will never unveil the secrets of your mind's eye"

I know the key to time is in my mind
Time is the ground of reason
Supreme enlightenment will lay in my hand
If I can only find myself

Lord of a thousand nightmares, longing for my sanity
Why should I trust in your voice, vanish away and set me free
"I am the voice you want to hear, just as demonic as you are
I am the core you can't deny, face the truth, it's a healing jar"

3. Astronomica

"Ancient Alexandria, site of cumulative knowledge, cradle of enlightenment
Levelled to the ground by the children of the crucified one,
Wiped away in blindness..."

The library, I have seen its shade
Wittnessed how dignity and wisdom did fade

Ignorance! The flames of arrogance...
An act of indifference towards what was in our hands
And turned to dust

Look to the stars, the mirror of the past
Now you seek to learn what in those flames did burn

The cosmic secrets will be revealed to me
The pyramides donate their knowledge of eternity
At astronomical dimensions I have glanced
We will regain it when mankind has advanced

4. Distant Spheres

I am reborn from my demise
In astral spheres and unknown skies
My soul is wandering aimlessly
No calming influence in me

I am beyond the shores of time
Where day is night and all entwines
A flickering of eternal flames
In distant spheres lost powers tames

Strange visions in groundless void
Bring forth an image of entirety
Silent forces have gained control
It is all within, the gate to infinity
