1. Scriptorium
Music by Peter Lenz
Write, erase, rewrite
That's the way it goes
Why we can't rewrite our lives
That's an answer no one knows
LOOK INTO MY EYES, WHORE
I WILL TURN YOU INTO POETRY
LET ME HEAR YOUR VOICE, THIEF
I WILL MAKE YOU IMMORTAL
My quill draws eternal love and happiness
My mind craves for vast forests
My eyes stare into emptiness
Always wishing me away
But my tiny room will stay my prison
For an untamed heart there is no balm
For a fragile soul there is no space
I will go down by the end of day
OH, SHOW ME YOUR EYES, WHORE
I WILL MAKE YOU A GORGEOUS MAIDEN
FULL OF LOVE AND FULL OF VIRTUE
FORGET ABOUT YOUR SINS
My ink covers your ugly truth
But inside I know that there is no escape
I create things with a beauty so vast
But for me, in this world,
There is no one to hold on to
My quill draws eternal love and happiness
My mind craves for vast forests
My eyes stare into emptiness
Always wishing me away
But my tiny room will stay my prison
For an untamed heart there is no balm
For a fragile soul there is no space
I will go down by the end of day
I AM THE MASTERMIND
YOU WOULD CALL ME MISFIT
I AM THE DREAMER
YOU WOULD CAST ME OUT
My quill draws eternal love and happiness
My mind craves for vast forests
My eyes stare into emptiness
Always wishing me away
But my tiny room will stay my prison
For an untamed heart there is no balm
For a fragile soul there is no space
I will go down by the end of day

2. The Lone Poet's Ballad
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
3. Dark Halls Of Oblivion
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz & Julian Körner-Schuchardt
Additional vocals by Thorsten Schuck
Time passes us by
We're living in a perfect seem
Created by our fearful minds
Taken from a lonely poet's Dream
I don't care if it's whispered
If it's screamed or if it's sung
To me it's all the same
Don't let me die without a name
Save me from these dark halls of oblivion
Truly dead is who's forgotten
I just long for a memory
My heritage within a Melody
WE'RE ALL JUST DANCERS IN A MAD BALLET
TRYING TO LEAVE A TRACE WITH WHAT WE SAY
I will never fade away
I will face the end wide awake
LIFE IS JUST A MASQUERADE
NEVER COVERING OUR FEAR AND HATE
Tales will live forever
And a tale will I become
Forever I will dream
Never come undone
I don't care if it's whispered
If it's screamed or if it's sung
To me it's all the same
Don't let me die without a name
Save me from these dark halls of oblivion
I don't care if it's whispered
If it's screamed or if it's sung
To me it's all the same
Don't let me die without a name
Save me from these dark halls of oblivion

4. My Kingdom Come
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
Come and kneel before the divine
All the beauty, every word, every note is mine...
This is the kingdom of your queen uncrowned
A place where soon will fall eternal night
No hope is left in these ruins to be
And all that remains is a scent of blight
I've seen my kingdom come
Now watch it rise and fall
My final play is done
This is my curtain call
​
There is no last encore
You've seen it all before
No need for one last song
This is my kingdom come
Every tender blossom is bound to wither
My stride's unbroken as I pass the gate
The dream I once had has ever since faded
I will not close my eyes as my end awaits
I've seen my kingdom come
Now watch it rise and fall
My final play is done
This is my curtain call
​
There is no last encore
You've seen it all before
No need for one last song
This is my kingdom come
Hope is the torch to light my stake
I've seen my kingdom come
Now watch it rise and fall
My final play is done
This is my curtain call
​
There is no last encore
You've seen it all before
No need for one last song
This is my kingdom come
I've seen my kingdom come
Now watch it rise and fall
My final play is done
This is my curtain call
​
There is no last encore
You've seen it all before
No need for one last song
This is my kingdom come
5. Majesty of Madness
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
My return to a land
In which, once in, you never leave
No longer reason bound
Diving freely into grief
​
Dare to enter my realm
Come fly with me on wings of lunacy
Be welcome in this unseen cage
And behold its insane majesty
This majesty of madness so luring
Cascades of tears to escape from this world
A path to a dreamworld where my throne is tall
Forever ascending, but craving my fall
Release the force deep within
Break the chains and give in
The wings to leave reality behind
The final cry of the broken mind
The greatest minds bear deepest shadows
The mighty soul craves the unknown
A poet's heart raging with insanity
Paints a masterpiece of gallantry
​
This majesty of madness so luring
Cascades of tears to escape from this world
A path to a dreamworld where my throne is tall
Forever ascending, but craving my fall
This majesty of madness so luring
Cascades of tears to escape from this world
A path to a dreamworld where my throne is tall
Forever ascending, but craving my fall
​
Eternal night
No healing light
Forever bound
No hopeful sound
​
This majesty of madness so luring
Cascades of tears to escape from this world
A path to a dreamworld where my throne is tall
Forever ascending, but craving my fall
​

6. Lust for a Tale
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
​
SEARCH ON, WEAK ONE
STILL CRAVING FOR A DREAM
FOR HOPE WITHIN A STORY
FROM A WORLD 'TIL NOW UNSEEN
SLEEP ON, DAMNED ONE
BUY A TALE THAT IS NOT YOURS
WHAT'S YOUR PRICE FOR A FANTASY?
WHAT'S YOUR PRICE TO FINALLY SEE?
​
Yours is a life without wonder
A LIFE WITHOUT A GOLDEN DAWN
All you see is black and white
A REALM OF DREAMS FORLORN
And all that remains is the
LUST FOR A TALE
​
YOU MISS THE COLOURS OF THE WORLD
YET HAVE NEVER PAINTED IN YOUR OWN
WAITING FOR THE WORLD TO BRING YOU LIFE
EVER SINCE YOU'VE MISSED TO LIVE
Hold your breath and close your eyes
Ponder what a tale is worth
Your last dime for the ferryman
Or for one last dream on earth?
​
Yours is a life without wonder
A LIFE WITHOUT A GOLDEN DAWN
All you see is black and white
A REALM OF DREAMS FORLORN
​​
Yours is a life without wonder
A LIFE WITHOUT A GOLDEN DAWN
All you see is black and white
A REALM OF DREAMS FORLORN
And all that remains is the
LUST FOR A TALE
​
Come to life now
Or you wake up to a world
Where every tale is told
And every story's sold
​

7. Standing on the Edge
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
Listen to the waves
They are the choir singing
Look at the red moon rising
Burning fire from the sky
I spread my arms awaiting
A fierce wind straight in my face
They say this is the day
Our world will go to Sleep
Forevermore...
Standing on the edge
I scream out to the night
Where are your storms and holy wrath
No pale riders are in sight
Give me fire, give me waves
To tear this world apart
No holy, crushing rage
Can tame a broken heart
And I search the sky
Where are your Angels
With searing swords and burning eyes?
And if the end is drawing nigh
Why don't you come
To hear the truth and kill my lies?
Standing on the edge
I scream out to the night
Where are your storms and holy wrath
No pale riders are in sight
Give me fire, give me waves
To tear this world apart
No holy, crushing rage
Can tame a broken heart
Standing on the edge
I scream out to the night
Where are your storms and holy wrath
No pale riders are in sight
Give me fire, give me waves
To tear this world apart
No holy, crushing rage
Can tame a broken heart
8. My Empty Page
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
I remember aeons passed
And dreams as old as time
A thousand stories live
In these words of mine
Dreamers will be lonely
For once, my dream comes true
You are my cold night fantasy
There is no dream without you
I'm in love with your life
Longing for your tales
Come with me tonight
And fill my empty page
My heart is bleeding ink
My life will soak these pages
Left to tell forever
The tales of coming ages
Once upon a starry night
My own tale came alive
Remember, when those fall days sing
A lonely summer nights might
I'm in love with your life
Longing for your tales
Come with me tonight
And fill my empty page
An aeon worth of stories
Is worthless without you
Fill this emptiness within me
And make them all come true
​
I'm in love with your life
Longing for your tales
Come with me tonight
And fill my empty page
​
I'm in love with your life
Longing for your tales
Come with me tonight
And fill my empty page
9. The Wayfarer's Dream
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
​
Fly away, dear lonesome heart
For I seek salvation in the journey
I want to hunt with the wind untamed
The vast is calling my name
​
There is poetry in everything
And a poet's soul is mine
I want to bathe in beauty
My heart is craving the divine
​
I want to hear the song of the world
A wolf's howl in the night
The witches dancing in ecstasy
Oden's wrath, Aphrodite's child
​
A valkyrie's song, solace for the lost
A maze leading nowhere
The world's marvels unseen
The wanderer's lust, the wayfarer's dream
All the world's marvels entwine
Within my heart an eternal tale
A want to sing a new song
For every horizon I sail
I miss the colours of the world
Want to breathe the journey
Once more amaze my old heart
I'm alive the moment I depart
​
I want to hear the song of the world
A wolf's howl in the night
The witches dancing in ecstasy
Oden's wrath, Aphrodite's child
​
A valkyrie's song, solace for the lost
A maze leading nowhere
The world's marvels unseen
The wanderer's lust, the wayfarer's dream
​
I want to hear the song of the world
A wolf's howl in the night
The witches dancing in ecstasy
Oden's wrath, Aphrodite's child
​
A valkyrie's song, solace for the lost
A maze leading nowhere
The world's marvels unseen
The wanderer's lust, the wayfarer's dream

10. Uncrowned
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
​
At the threshold of the night
Desolate and colourblind
Hate is knocking down the door
Tempest from a molten core
But when dusk exhales the dark
All my arrows find their mark
Fortune forced the winds to turn
Time to feel the fever burn
​
I may be uncrowned and covered in blood
My eyes have been blinded, my wings have been cut
I may be fallen and gone insane
But here in the wild I still rule the night
​
I may be uncrowned and covered in blood
My eyes have been blinded, my wings have been cut
I may be fallen and gone insane
But here in the wild I still rule the night, still rule the night
I accept my fate
And what the world forgot
It's alright that you adore
All that I'm not
I am not an Angel
Was not the perfect queen
But now an evil shadow
Is what's left of me
​
I may be uncrowned and covered in blood
My eyes have been blinded, my wings have been cut
I may be fallen and gone insane
But here in the wild I still rule the night
​
I may be uncrowned and covered in blood
My eyes have been blinded, my wings have been cut
I may be fallen and gone insane
But here in the wild I still rule the night, still rule the night
​
No merciful heart
No grace left to take
I weep all alone
On my rotten throne
​
I may be uncrowned and covered in blood
My eyes have been blinded, my wings have been cut
I may be fallen and gone insane
But here in the wild I still rule the night
I may be uncrowned and covered in blood
My eyes have been blinded, my wings have been cut
I may be fallen and gone insane
But here in the wild I still rule the night, still rule the night

11. The Memory Remains
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
Dreaming alone I remember
These snow white days of mine
My heart that had no torment met
And that love, my sweetest wine
We shared nothing but a story
A dream that was before them all
I dreamt it, but too passionately
Soaring high and bound to fall
Though so many years apart
The memory remains
The first needle to the dreamer's heart
The memory remains
An untouched heart bleeds innocence
And wounded mine bled crystal clear
Bitter is the first bite of pain
The sweeter are my tears
Though so many years apart
The memory remains
The first needle to the dreamer's heart
The memory remains
LUST WILL MAKE THE ANGELS FALL
See your angel fall
PAIN TURNS COLD A LOVING HEART
Feel my loving heart
TO HEAL OLD WOUNDS IS HARD
I will keep the scars
FEAR THE BENIGN THAT GO TO WAR
Fear the benign that go to war
​
Take this lenity away from me
Devour my love and suffocate
I never meant to be a saint
Now save me from this hell
​
Take this lenity away from me
Devour my love and suffocate
I never meant to be a saint
Now save me from this hell
Though so many years apart
The memory remains
The first needle to the dreamer's heart
The memory remains
​
This untouched soul laid bare
On the altar of virgin love
Come the seasons and their storms
And wear away the bitter scorn
​
Embrace these scars that life has left
Stories engraved into our hearts
Time will sometimes part our ways
But still the memory remains...
12. As Beauty There in Shackles Lies
Lyrics by Sarah Gorzelitz
Music by Peter Lenz
​
I long for you
September days so long gone by
With a will so strong and free
And a heart still young and blind
The world was wide
And waiting there for me to come
Not knowing of the pain ahead
And the end to all my songs
​
Silence came with force
And woke a vengeful mind
The moment that a voice turned mute
A graceful heart turned blind
​
As beauty there in shackles lies
As if in slumber buried deep
I feel a spark of heaven dies
And silently I weep
As beauty there in shackles lies
As if in slumber buried deep
I feel a spark of heaven dies
And silently I weep
​
And when to heaven high I will depart
I won't forgive, I won't forget
Lord, you don't know what you did
And you don't know what I had
There's a fire deep inside
That no empty words will choke
Why would you ever let me dream
When the cruelest thing down here is hope?
As beauty there in shackles lies
As if in slumber buried deep
I feel a spark of heaven dies
And silently I weep
As beauty there in shackles lies
As if in slumber buried deep
I feel a spark of heaven dies
And silently I weep
​
A great soul lies discraced
As if raped and stripped of pride
As beauty lies in chains
But this dear heart will abide
And pours blood still through these vains
And I know not all is lost
Although broken, I'm not dead
No greater scorn in what's ahead
​
