lyrics

Schwanentanz (The Danse Of Swans) - words by Karin Tarabochia.


Morbid bird, at the table with me today. Do I read him, does he read me? Throw him seeds, from which love grows, blow the frost. I’m rolling, stumbling, falling on the heart road. And what carries me? A ray of sun. The hollow hand holds in a loose clutch. Weather blesses. Farewell is always approaching. Too tired, much too fragile! A crape has surrounded me. Could it be different, better, softer? How often the world knocks, bulges in my round! Seeing with free eyes! Life is beautiful! Star, on which I wander cosmically - Every night a book opens itself and catches the fall to the valley, Light-trail in the darkness, into which each farewell bends.
And my dreams fly away. We go the way of shards on colorful splinters. A pall smoothes the land to a wing. Crows circle. Still I can dress every sentence, put him boots and a sea. My knowledge still travels with me, my anticipation looks under the whispering. If it were permitted, would all be lovers?
Ship in the swell, let us fish! A few throws. Spread a few ideals, which contain us, in the sea and sing!
How long does time tear the thread and ladder us? Has wings, colorful bird Dragonflight,
The ghosts are still silent, quietly involved. Blue, nothing but blue and green, in which the sun is playing. Zones, which we enter and leave, seen at light: Pollen. All decays and paints the ground, and not even that remains. But still everything is possible and nothing ends, before it is to an end!Continue to throw the ball, chase the glances, live the dream. Revelation is announced. Wonderful metamorphosis! Instead of torn open land smooth world skin! Instead of power struggle the dance of swans and jubilation! But still everything is possible and nothing ends, before it is to an end! Throw the ball, chase the glances, live the dream. Spread ideals, which contain us, in the sea and sing! And someday we see the path dropping from our feet, becoming lighter, going on...
