Departure 04:49
I see the picture Staring at the wall Something is wrong here A room that thrills I feel the ocean Through window panes Want to break out of here but My chair has hands Feel the rain, seven days Empty buildings, empty shells All these voices in my head Make me shiver, feel like I'm dead And in this crowded room I'm all alone And through this open door I see the Moon Stuck in this moment Time is slowing down Somehow connected to this World beyond my door I feel no emotions But my mind fills halls Contemporaneous I am Leaving for more Fear the rain, seven days Empty buildings, empty shells All these voices in my head Make me shiver, feel like I'm dead And in this crowded room I'm all alone And through this open door I see the Moon

First miles 04:52
Sail a hundred miles In a room that's set on fire Chasing after thoughts While the flames build your desire Pacing the miles You're afraid for your life Nobody's here Can you save the night? With feet here in the rain Look at all what you became You resume your world tonight Done the first of all these miles In the dark... Landscapes so bright Dissolving fears in your room No thought appears Can you erase the fright? You sail toward the light Afraid of the lies Nobody's here Will you save the night? With feet here in the rain Look at all what you became You resume your world tonight Done the first of all these miles In your eyes...

Black towers 05:08
Life it seems so wild While you are burning Time controls your mind Your soul crawls through the night Horizons out of sight While you are flying Disturbing winds around Depressed back on the ground Your eyes are seperating The colours you denied Black towers are still waiting For your fears to come alive You step beside the path The air is whirling Decayed into a million shards Your past hides in the dark Voices fill your head You're levitating By a gloomy force you're bound Caressed by ghosts of sound Your eyes are seperating The colours you denied Black towers are still waiting For your fears to come alive

Dark clouds 05:16
I try to walk this road while the darkness is alive another dark cloud will appear covering my sky I try to walk this road while the darkness is alive another dark cloud's following under the sky I try to walk this road while the darkness is alive another dark scene creation over my sky I try to walk this road while the darkness is alive another dark cloud will appear covering my sky autumn leaves will fade away nothing's here to light the day common tunes on different waves will save your world but never reign autumn lights still fade away we are here to light your day the curtain's raised the clouds are gone stars come out the way goes on under dark clouds those darkest clouds ha

Low gravity 05:12
Bitterness is waiting I'm staring through the rain It's all the same No sunrise in the morning The cold reigns in my veins I'm falling through the heavens Emptiness on lanes I follow, expecting daylight Warmth within the rain But for now I'm losing grip Stumbling around Come to ease my pain Flashes on the horizon The consciousness still dawns But the way becomes clearer The goal's somewhere out there in the light But for now I'm losing grip Stumbling around Come to ease my pain I'm still caught in this cage With low gravity Bitterness is waiting I'm staring through the rain It's all the same No sunrise in the morning The cold reigns in my veins But for now I'm losing grip I'm drifting out of space No gravity here

You feel like walking on a world below There are the Watchers With cold hands on your soul There is no vision, it is real, you know With no escape, the fear inside still grows They keep on watching from the distance And you feel all these eyes coming from below Keep on watching from a distance You will never see the light coming from below You feel the frost from a source below Under the sun mad visions tear a hole... And then comes the fever They keep on watching from the distance And you feel all these eyes coming from below Keep on watching from a distance You will never see the light coming from below You will never come this far You should believe In the world that you are from And the seconds rise with thorns Storms rage outside In the night without a form They keep on watching from the distance And you feel all these eyes coming from below Keep on watching from a distance You will never see the light coming from below You see their eyes everywhere you go Watching and hunting to stop and break the flow You still feel followed when the lights are gone You stand there gazing and you never felt so slow They keep on watching from the distance And you feel all these eyes coming from below Keep on watching from a distance You will never see the light coming from below

Winds 03:42
I cannot face the right direction I'm tolerated within this section A gripping meadow, I'm drifting sideways Caught in this place, dazed, no reaction I feel it in the winds that come my way Seeing through the darkness, clear but grey I travel on the wings handed by fate Right here on my path that surrounds a lake Invisible companion on my way Guided by a vision hand in hand Somewhere lies a source of orange lights Reflecting on the surface of the lake I feel it in the winds that come my way Seeing through the darkness, clear but grey I travel on the wings handed by fate Right here on my path that surrounds a lake Invisible companion on my way Guided by a vision hand in hand Somewhere lies a source of orange lights The winds will blow the dark out of my way The winds will blow the dark out of my way

The lake 05:01
Aimlessly for days Wandering around Hardly find the way Deep in the woods The night will find no end Threatening undergrowth Suddenly a glow Between the trees Break out of the woods Enchanted by the lights Leave the trees behind Out of the dark The beauty kills your mind A moment paralyzed Falling on your knees Out of the trance Suddenly your standing at the lake Losing the most of your weight Suddenly the water brings the hope Euphorically you climb into a boat The shimmer in your hands Rowing through the time Forgotten are the fears Here on the lake Floating on the glass Let the hours pass The time stands still here on the lake
9.
It feels so strange while these thoughts are here And in this moment the sun appears Looking forward The horizon's clear And surprisingly this dark room is filled with light Beyond this door you keep on wandering It's still closed, won't you feel anything? The days have changed and you're collecting thoughts And your ghost outside moves straight into the light A cold body and a frozen tear Prevented to get out of here The hope was dying and the days were gone But still you've got a feeling that it's all wrong Moving hands feel the wind again An open eye and the shadow breaks And by a sudden everything has changed You see yourself running straight into the light

No ocean 05:49
Back in your room now The weight is gone Your body's taking a deep breath The muscles burn The essence of your journey An open door Like finished conversations The empty floor And then you're standing up With fingers on the wall And your heading for your window And with the picture in your hand And with your burning eyes you see No ocean No emotions There ain't no reason Nothing is real Drunken, burnt out, satisfied That's what you feel Your open book has lost some sides You close your eyes Reflections of the journey Come flashing by Again you're standing up With fists against the wall And then you turn your head to the window And with new hope that's flashing up You drag the doubt away but you see... No ocean No emotions

about

The story:
...he sits in his room with ocean view. But he gradually falls into a trance in which he stays. And it seems that he can not find out of it anymore. He is trapped in this room.
Moonlight falls through the open door. A way to salvation: he has to find the way to his own soul to realize what is holding him captive.
The way leads through darkness. But from time to time there are moments of light. Moonlight, stars.
A hike on which he seems to be his own ghost. He still sits in his chair in this room.
The goal is actually his soul itself, self-knowledge, looming ahead of him like dark towers.
Fear and hope.
The journey ends full of self-knowledge. He manages to rise from his chair.
He feels his way along the wall to his window. But the sight makes him freeze.
The ocean has disappeared.
On his journey he had to make sacrifices.
