OK Melian ... you asked for it
The other two songs on the myspace-page, then...
this one is about chess, castles and an old terrible relationship of mine
LEAVING THE GHOSTS BEHIND (music: Asmodean and Celegorm, words: Celegorm)
In the hallway there is a table
My life is mirrored black and white
I don’t know whether I’ve been able
To move the pieces into the light
I came to an angel
I’ll be leaving a ghost
This iron castle is dark inside
I know that it made me blind
It has taken me some time
To leave the ghosts behind
But lately I have grown stronger
And my life is only mine
I won’t stay here any longer
I’ll leave the ghosts behind
I move my knight in a new direction
A manoeuvre you have never seen
I am no bishop of perfection
But now threat the silver queen
And in the hallway there is water,
And the water covers your floor
And I’ll be gone with the water
As soon as you open your door
I lost the game here every evening
In the mirror I saw a fool
But to win a game is easy
If you’re the one who sets the rules
I throw back the table and raise my arms
Clear my throat and loose my tie
If for once you will listen
I bid you a last goodbye

Ustura (Music: Celegorm & Asmodean; words: Celegorm)
Give an hour to behold the canvas
Feel the surface against your hand
Breathing in the oil and incense
Taking off to a foreign land
Hiding in yourself a while
Drawn into the pictures lines
See the walls of the museum
Disappear like drifting sand
And these symbols seem familiar
Haven‘t you heard these words before?
And something inside of you is calling
A hunger beckoning for more
Old lost stories from distant ages
Gushing up from an ancient jar
Close your eyes to find yourself
Heading for the morning star
Hear a distant cracking sound
Almost like a whispered phrase
Then the cold museum floor
Draws you back to where you are
Comment: "Ustura" means "story" in arabic - at least we were told so...
