Lyrics

Wrapped up in pain
Entering a dark pillar hall
With the most exquisite marble
Polished and sparkling since thousands of years
I hear the echo of emptiness..
Cautiously I step across the empty floor
But I notice, uneasy, that my footfalls are soundless
Scared I hurry into the next hall..
There are statues of pure gold
Decorated with the rarest of gems
There they stand magnificent and glorious
Watching the sky..
Though there is something which worries me
And at last I stop and see what it is..
What I watch is the bitter face of loneliness
The cold embrace feels to the innermost corner of my soul

Was beauty nothing but cold?
What I found beautiful, was it just icy winds?
Was this the room I had been looking for so long?
Was this the place where freedom lives?

My way went on into wilderness
Along the well-known path called confusion..
After a dark night I approached the big gate
Though I was astonished when I saw that it was more than a gate

I arrived at a crossroad with two golden gates
Gift...mystery..
Who built them there?
What was remembrance in this?
I am struck by their temptation
The inviting power which attracts my innermost thoughts

Stunned by this powerful experience
And grateful for it
I remain hesitantly at the crossroads
Which path is my way?
Which gate is the opening to the life I wanted?

Oh, jesus christ..
I seek thy divine wisdom
I bow before thy advice..
May thy hand lead a wavering heart
May thy word be a torch on my path..
