Magic winds announce their rise,

illusions from the other side

Black in black they paint my dreams

"Take my hand and follow me!"

When the owl raises her mournful sighs,

when vanity suffocates and dreams arise,

when pale moonbeams grasp at me like hands,

then I ascend to roam in forbidden lands..

.. and I cross the boundaries of time,

I cross hereafter´s borderline

Won´t you come with me to Ravenland

Just take the dagger from my Hand!

Roots! From above they sign my way

Raised, they won´t lead me astray

gloomy sky agarics passin´ by

in an endless shaft

where eternal wisdom lies

Yearnings for empires down below,

Visions of ancient night!

Strange world where blood turns into wine

Release me, final cry!

Fly with me to Ravenland

to the land of dreams where my cradle stands...

to Ebony Eden!

A storm of pestilence,

an earth of malignance

I sleep on killingfields

and dream! No, I won´t yield!

I lie, I die, wake up and fly;

I ride on comets through the sky

Moons and planets greet my soul

far from a ball, so tough and cold!

... and I cross the boundaries of time...
