Part I: Green Gloves
A hand is rising above the ruins,
Like a million times before,
And the dust of grinded glass
Settles down in the theatre of war.
And after years you will return
With your hand clenched to a fist again
And with the look of innocence
You will reap as many as you can.
And all that we have lost,
And all the wounds that never will be healed —
All the world covered by the frost,
With blood the contracts will be sealed.
Once again you've tried to conquer,
Rapture our love with hate,
You have put your inside out
For a view that makes me so afraid.
And your head is in the clouds
With the breath of a hurricane,
Your clothes are made of fire,
You are the light, the never dying flame.
And all that we have lost,
And all the wounds that never will be healed —
All the world covered by the frost,
With blood the contracts will be sealed.

Part II: Stone
Haunting clouds and stormbent trees
And far away the Silverish Seas.
No soul would cross my way over here,
Through solitude and nameless fear.
I smell the air enriched with salt,
I hear a panting from the vault,
The grave of secrets of mankind.
The secrets in my mind.
On a mountain like a dragon's spine,
Amidst slopes grown with wild wine
Grown all over with ivy and thorns,
I had a view upon uncertain forms.
Between the forest and the sea
A haunted house waiting silently.
This still life so deadly quiet
And darkness echoes through the night.

Part III: The Man With the Dead Eyes
He is blind, but he can see you,
He is the man to spy on your mind
And when he comes over the rooftops,
You know, he is — he is blind.
He comes climbing down the chimney,
Through any doorsplit he can find,
But with the face of a night owl
He can see you — he is blind.
He enters straight through your nightmares,
Imaginary he will leave behind,
And when you feel his fingertips on your soul,
You'll know, he is — he is blind.
And when he comes he tells you stories
Of Father Fish and more of his kind,
But you know that he is lonely,
Because he is — he is blind.
