Decence Liedtexte

Album : IANUS (2008)

The storm

Feel the wind blowing in your face
See yourself walking on that trace
Seeking times
That you’ve forgotten

Guilt
Is a question of facts
Find yourself
I hope you’re intact…

Feel the wind blowing in your face
See yourself walking on that trace
Seeking times
That you’ve forgotten

Bruder

Darkened and void
I can’t see
You promise
Brother where are you?
Can you hear my silence?

Darkened and void
I can’t see
My future
Presence in danger
I’m myself
But I’m a stranger…

All the flowers
All the stars
That I once loved in my life
Once I held them
They’re all gone
They all died…

Brother
Tell me now
how to make it right
Tell me now
Why everything I held has died
Brother
Tell me now
Why everything is gone
Tell me now
How I could go on

Komm oh Tod,
Du Schlafes Bruder
Komm und führe mich nur fort
Löse meines Schifflein’s Ruder,
führe mich an sich’ren Port
Es mag wer da will Dich scheu’n
Doch Du kannst mich vielmehr erfreu’n
Denn durch Dich komm ich herein
Zu dem schönsten, zu dem schönsten
Jesulein…

Deceit! Leave in silence…

Well, the silence is here
But it avoids you
It avoids you
Yeahhhhhhhhhh

Avoiding eyes can’t be caught
Common lies in every thought
Don’t pretend-
A good enemy
Is better
Than a false friend
I start
My new infinity

I calm the storms of your deceit
Remove the debris of your defeat
At last I’m standing on my feat
I feel the distance close to me
I close my eyes and set you free

Regrets-
No I don’t need them anymore
Deceit!
I really know what you have come for
Just reflections of great things that we had
Orphaned affections
to a time
That’s pounding on my head
Alive!
I face the facts that you have left for me
Are you shure, you’re really right the way you’re hurting me?
Your old resplendence is fading
By the words you say
You’re so lonely
-cognition will come by short delay

Guilt
Is fact and fiction
And fiction
A kind of blindness
-now I see

Regrets-
No I don’t need them anymore
Deceit!
I really know what you have come for
Just reflections of great things that we had

I live for you

Why can’t you realise
that lovin’ you is all I do?
I’ll destroy the pain in your eyes…

Live-I’ll care for you…
Dream-I’ll dream with you

Tonight-I’ll die in you
Tonight- I live for you…

I live for you…

Tales of life

We face the collapse
but we can’t believe
that the wheel of fortune
fixes our defeat
we feel an emptiness but
we don’t know why
-with open eyes
we start to die…

We live our life as if
There’s no tomorrow
We try our luck as if
There is no sorrow
This hazy mindf**k
Takes our resistance
We weave the shroud of
Our sweet existence

hey hey little child
pray for the lost ones
beware your mind in childhoods arms
this poor world’s innocence
lies in your hands…

we cannot dream
we can’t be honest
we cannot trust
we search ourselves
we just pretend we are immortal
while our hearts return to dust…

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Stitching lies

Your silky skin
Your lustful breath
Is the only truth within
This walls of sin
This house of lies
-frozen!
Love in disguise!
Frozen! I don’t need your alibis!

Stitching lies
-you leave me paralyzed…

I don’t need your alibis!

Heart of stone

He’s a solitary slave
And he’s feeling really safe
In a self-constructed cage
Of principles and rage…

Embittered and disgusting
Despotic and mistrusting
-he lost his philantrophy long ago…

are you prepared for his freakshow?

Hard-hearted-
No self-esteem
a solid freak on duty!
No compassion!
All weakness
Disturbes your sense of beauty?!
You’re easy-going
but all alone
-a silly tyrant
with a heart of stone

Carefully kept
lie the dreams he overslept
inside a part of his heart
( that) he has banished long ago…

His self-satisfaction
just a selfish deception
A heart of stone
Condemned to be alone

Hard-hearted
No self-esteem
a solid freak on duty!
No compassion!
All weakness
Disturbes your sense of beauty?!
You’re easy-going
but all alone
-a silly tyrant
with a heart of stone

Speaking

Here in the arms of darkness
Your pureness seems so endless
Illuminate me
but don’t speek a word
let’s try to keep this moment
leave the past
-it may cause hurt

Just feel the night
-it’s all so peaceful
Enjoy this quiet!
Moments of brightness
Are worthy to keep
I don’t want to speak
I don’t want to speak
It could make us weak!

While stars reflect our silence
The first time I feel my mind
To long we’ve been lost in violence
Ignoring that we’ve been blind
Let’s try to keep this moment
Let us rest
Let us rest
In decency…

Just feel the night
-it’s all so peaceful
Enjoy this quiet!
Moments of brightness
Are worthy to keep
I don’t want to speak
I don’t want to speak
It could make us weak!

Love you

All the scars in you heart
All the memories in your soul
Of former
And losing time
Veiling your view
Taking your power
in believing
that someone just cares for you…

And I never wanted more
Than someone like you
I could adore…

Inside my darkest night
You are light I cried for
Inside this dreary world
You are the one
I’d die for
’cause I love you
…more and more…
Yes I love you
…more and more…

Lay your veil down for me
‘cause with this mask you can’t see
That there is nothing
Really nothing to fear
And all my strength and ability
I will set to one destiny:
To make You happy
And feeling
The deepness
Of my love
My dear…

Inside my darkest night
You are light I cried for
Inside this dreary world
You are the one
I’d die for
’cause I love you
…more and more…
Yes I love you
…more and more…

Coming home

Sometimes it’s hard
to understand
while life is running trough your hand
and all the dreams you wrote in sand
are blown away…
sometimes it’s hard
to keep the way
while deep night darkens every day
you’re on your knees
and start to pray
for a place of joy
where you can rest and stay

Life is not always kind
It’s a tape You can’t rewind
Streets leave not always straight on
But you have to go one
to find your way…

Free as the wind
I’m flying home
I reach the beloved shores
I’m not alone
From the other side
I’ll free the enemies
I’ll guide the blind in brightness
Find comfort in myself…

The last waltz

Baby just let’s dance in the moonlight
Baby, just let’s join this last waltz
Maybe you’re gone in the daylight
Leaving me in this last waltz…

And your eyes look so sweet in the moonlight
A silver sheen gently touches your hair
And I wish this waltz would last forever
You by my side
In this night’s silent air…

As long as the world turns
As long as I may love you
I’ll be dancing with you
As long as the world turns
As long as I may love you
I’ll be dancing with you

A pale moon shines down on our bodies
A ball for two
-just me and you
Thoughts drifting away
Into tomorrow
Will the lights take you away
and bring me sorrow?

As long as the world turns
As long as I may love you
I’ll be dancing with you
As long as the world turns
As long as I may love you
I’ll be dancing with you

Understanding…

I cannot accept
This cruelty for real
I can’t understand
this weakness I feel
I can’t hide my sorrow
I try to confess it
-don’t want to conceal…

I turn to you
and your helping hand
I give you my secrets
-cause you understand…
The demons of my past
began to descend
upon my soul
-I cannot pretend
being strong
-I have to go on…

I cannot accept
This cruelty for real
I can’t understand
this weakness I feel
I can’t hide my sorrow
I try to confess it
-don’t want to conceal…

I turn to you
and your helping hand
I give you my secrets
-cause you understand…
The demons of my past
began to descend
upon my soul
-I cannot pretend
being strong
-I have to go on…
You keep me believing
You keep me from leaving
the path that I’m on
And you are the reason
-that I’m holding on…

Healing

So when your world is that
So dark and disappearing
And the sweetest smile has gone
Frozen by the winds
You dive on
You should rest here
My friend
And I shall help you
To set you free

And life offers treasures
That you must find
But on most of the time you were almost blind
And lovers come
And lovers go
Even those
That you loved so
You think this existence
Is cold and unfair
You look for the reason
Why you are here
But someday
There will be a time
When you ‘ll get back on the line
The rules of life
Are mysterious and strange

And what this is all for
-I don’t know
The cold winds blow
They’re from the snow
In your heart
You think life’s hard, hard to bear
You say “life’s not fair”
Sometimes you wish you were someone else
But the rules of life
cannot change

And life offers treasures
That you must find
But on most of the time you were almost blind
And lovers come

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Hold me

Hold me
Save me
Feel me
Touch me…

Let me die in your arms…

Outro / Repentance

Lost in an untrue world
Losing the paths
that I once walked
All I kept is this paint of silence
Where you had your square there
It feels like dying
I was wrong…
So I rest here mourning
…Suffocating…
in paralysing repentance…
