Songtext zu 'The Child And The Serpent' von The Unborn

Her steps drawn in the sand,
And my face carved in the rock.
My ancient and devilish spirit,
Prisoner in this child’s body.

My present may not be so bad,
In her soft as beautiful skin …

Conjurations of time and of destiny,
Unthinkable prisons of this world.
A voice and the frozen wind.
A sign of my somber days.

My present may not be so bad,
In her soft as beautiful skin.
And in her fragile and pale thinness,
I find a backwater to my torment …

But now i live in her,
In the beauty of her thoughts.
Today her tears surround my world ...

Her steps drawn in the sand,
And my face carved in the rock.
A voice and the frozen wind.
A sign of my somber days.

Do you listen to the sound across the wind ?
It is the lament of my mind.
A high and brilliant light is the gift.
Will this be the sad pride of my life ?
Somber sequences trough the time.
Is this the name written in my hands ?
She’s looking at my hands,
And i’m lost in this earth...

Now i fall down in a deep dream
Where you save me.
Get close to my eyes,
And you will see my destiny.
Now i fall down in a deep dream
Where you save me.
Now look at my face …
In my thoughts and in my feelings,
I hold you in my hands all the time.
Your destiny remained tied to mine …

Now i preserve my old fantasies.
And in my thoughts, that i could not give you.
Following time, i found new roads.
And today my memories are consumed ...

Do you listen to the sound across the wind ?
It is the lament of my mind.
A high and brilliant light is the gift.
Will this be the sad pride of my life ?
She’s looking at my hands,
And i’m lost in this earth...

My day has filled with shadows,
Only for your silent look.
I remain lost in this earth.
Your silence ended with our dream,
Very close to beauty …

Now i preserve my old fantasies.
And in my thoughts, that i could not give you.
Following time, i found new roads.
And today my memories are consumed while you die …

Today i fell in a deep dream,
And i visited unthinkable places.
Distant and confusing figures surrounded me,
Crossing endless desolated landscapes.

Crossing endless desolated landscapes ...

I want to return to your side,
But something unknown keeps me here.

Today i fell in a deep dream,
And tripped to places out of this world.
But i always felt you were by my side.
Your presence covered me all the time.

Crossing endless desolated landscapes...

I want to return to your side,
But something unknown keeps me here.
I want to return to our home,
Reach out your hand and take me with you.

I have returned to my childhood,
Somber and almost forgotten days.
The unmistakable noise of the trees,
On the shores of a blue and frozen sea.

Will this be hell or paradise ?
Will this be my punishment or my reward ?

I have walked the shores for centuries,
Not a single soul in this lost place.
But the serpent of my bleak dreams,
That only appears to talk with me …

Will this be hell or paradise ?
Will this be my punishment or my reward ?
But i’m not alone in this lost place
The serpent of my dreams is with me ...

I have returned to my childhood,
Somber and almost forgotten days.
The unmistakable noise of the trees,
On the shores of a blue and frozen sea.
