by Howard Blake
A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom
Child of
dew-spangled cobweb Mother to the moon
Constellations beholders of the 3rd
vagrant
Theater for the play of life
Tragedienne of heavens
Watching the eyes of the
night
Sailing the virgin oceans
A planetride for the Mother and
Child
Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes
In this ambrosial
merry-go-round they will gaze
Ephemereal life touched by a billion-year
show
Separating the poet from the woe
Tragedienne of heavens...
Oracle of the Delphian Domine
Witness of Adam's
frailty
Seer of the master prophecy
The stellar world her
betrothed
Wanderers in cosmic caravan
Universal bond - The
Starborn
A son in the search for the truth
Following the pages of
Almagest
Discovering the origin of dreams
Stargazers ride through the
ancient realms
Tragedienne of heavens...

песни
Toll no bell for me father
But let this suffering pass
from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream
foretold
Prayed more than thrice for you to see
The wolf of loneliness in
me
...not my own will but yours be done...
You wake up where's the tomb?
Will Easter come, enter
my room?
The Lord weeps for me
But my tears fall for you
Another Beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of
infinite dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun
rise
Forgive me for I don't know what I gain
Alone in this
garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear
to lose
You wake up where's the tomb...
"I knew you never before
I see you never more
But the
love the pain the hope O beautiful one
Have made you mine 'till all my years
are done"
Without you
The poetry within me is dead

песни
A snowy owl above the haunted waters
Poet of ancient
gods
Cries to tell the neverending story
Prophecy of becoming
floods
An aura of mystery surrounds her
The lady in brightest
white
Soon the incarnate shall be born
The Creator of the Night
Deep dark is His Majesty's kingdom
A portent of tomorrow's
world
There shall the liquid give Him power
The red-eyed unborn
lord
Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters
The cradle of
infinite gloom
The spell to master this Earth
Carven on an infant's
tomb
"I will die for the love of the mermaid
Her seduction
beauty and scorn
Welcome to the end of your life
- Hail the
Oceanborn!"
"Disgraced is my virginity
Death has woven my wedding
dress
Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew
For you are the cradle of the
image of god"
"Brave now long rest is sweet
With me here in the
deep"
"I prayed for pleasure wished for love
Prayed for
your-"
"Never pray for me!"
"Who the hell are you for me
But a mortal dream to
see?"
"This apathetic life must drown
Forever just for
me"
"Leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me
be...ee...eeee"
"From cradle to coffin
Shall my wickedness be your
passion"
We shall come to set the dolphins free
We shall wash the
darkened bloodred sea
Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas
The
eternity will befin once again in peace

песни
Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow
The
frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves
An encounter symbolic yet
truthful
With a hungry choir of wolves
An agreement immemorial to be
born
Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest
Accompany wall the
charming tunes
Of a sacrament by a campfire
A promise between the
tameless
And the one with a tool
Tonight the journey from a cave
begins
I want to hunt with the tameless heart
I want to learn
the wisdom of mountains afar
We will honor the angel in the snow
We will
make the streams for our children flow
Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights
From my cave I
watch the land untamed
And wonder if some becoming season
Will make the
angel melt in shame
I want to hunt with the tameless
heart...

песни
Princess of lust
Dignity put to dust
A virginal
sight
Their apple to bite
Drink from my thighs
The rain of lies
A sight so
cursed
Breasts which never nursed
An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in
lecherous roles
Their erotic hour my tearless weep
Their satisfaction my
infinite sleep
Naked limbs reflecting from the moon
I'll be there for you
soon
First wish for this night:
Let me be your delight
Body of a virgin
Sould to the Devil's kin
Your God is
me
In all that you see
An Aphrodite for mortal souls...

песни
All those beautiful people
I want to have them all
All
those porcelain models
If only I could make them fall
Be my heart a well of love
Flowing free so far
above
A wintry eve
Once upon a tale
An Ugly Duckling
Lost
in a verse
Of a sparrows carol
Dreaming the stars
Be my heart a well of love
Flowing free so far
above
In my world
Love is for poets
Never the famous balcony
scene
Just a dying faith
On the heaven's gate
Crystal pond awaits the lorn
Tonight another morn for the
lonely one is born

Moondance
(instrumental)
Riddler Riddler ask me why
The birds fly free on a
mackerel sky
Ask me whither goes the wind
Whence the endless tick-tick
stream begins
Make me guess if the earth is flat or round
Set a guessing
if fantasies are unbound
If tales aren't just for children to see
That
it's peace if sleep walks with me
As you wish
For kingdom come
The one to know all the
answers
You think you dwell in wisdoms sea
Still sweet ignorance is the
key
To a poet's paradise
Challenge the Riddler and you will
see...
Riddler Riddler ask me why
All mothers beneath the Earth
and sky
Hold their children's hands for a while
Their hearts forever -
yours and mine
Make me wonder what's the meaning of life
What's the use
to be born and then die
Make me guess who's the one
Behind the mask of
Father and Son
As you wish...
For nature hates virginity
I wish to be touched
Not by
the hands of where's and why's
But by the Oceans' minds
As you wish...

песни
"Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself and see my face no
more!
for in the day Thou see my face
Thou shalt die!"
- Exodus
10:28
A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth
A
holy harbour - Orion
Nautical ascension to the firmament
Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this
land
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman
The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His
funeral
"Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee"
Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming
tomb
"Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee"
Reveal your face to me and guide me though the Stygian
fields
Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve Your will
Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to
deliverance
Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance
Ruling with the scythe of death you tear out philosophies
apart
An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars
"Open thy veins for my venom
Kiss the cobras with thy
twisted tongue
So shalt thou join the empyrean circus
Where beggars mourn
and seraphs dance
In this twilight cathedral
Shall I wed thee,
O Bride
of the Netherwolrd"
Sailing on the distant seas...
Join my soul the Hunter in the sky

песни
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit
sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight
blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the wold
The villages go by like trees
The
rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down
below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen
sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a
mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight
sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

песни
Born to the false world the wanderer
Storyteller the pied
piper
On a quest for immortality
Gathering a troop to find the
fantasy
Lead by a maid queen of the night
Voice of angel such a
divine sight
An amazon to fight and cure
This reality with her feline
lure
Patriotic to the promised land
Of never-waking
dream
Nightquest a quest not for the past
But for tomorrow to
make it last
Simply the best way to walk this life
Hand in hand with a
dreamer's mind
Enter the realm don't stay awake
The dreams remain they
only break
Forget the task enjoy the ride
And follow us into the
night
A merry minstrel with his fingers fast
Playing his lute
charming every lass
Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye
"Shall I
find fame - or shall I die?"
Warrior with power along the path
A hammerheart his
gallantry to last
Rhythm of sirens enemies take heed
For in this war laws
are in silent sleep
Patriotic to the promised land
Of never-waking
dream
Nightquest a quest not for the past...
Come to the Elfland the eldest said
In my guidance you
shall not be afraid
I am the mastermind the wizard to show the way...
Nightquest a quest not for the past...
First ones to walk this path of night
Lady in black lady
in white
Followed by legions of night-time wanderers
Guardians of the halls of heart
When we from my homeland
depart
To challenge the gods of emptiness
May the quest
begin!

песни
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful
oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my
night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
to last for a
lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to
go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd
sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a
night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to
say
I wish for this night-time...
I wish for this night-time...
