Lyrics

Imhotep

Armes, Dunkles Wolkenkind
Hast Dich erneut in Sturm gehullt
Im fadenschein'gen Pechgewand
Dich selbst in ew'ger Nacht verbannt

Die undurchdringlich' zweite Haut
Hat die Grenze zur Welt erbaut
Als Eierschale, hart wie Stein
Lasst sie kein Licht noch Warme ein

Armes, Dunkles Wolkenkind
Hast Dich erneut in Sturm gehullt
Im fadenschein'gen Pechgewand
Dich selbst in ew'ger Nacht verbannt

Eiskalte Wande, falsches Haus
Kein Leben schlupft aus dir heraus
Kein ungeborenes reift heran
Nur noch ein zorniger, alter Mann
Gramt im inneren ewiglich
Selbst vor dem Tod furchtet er sich

Armes, dunkles Wolkenkind
Den schlimmsten Kurs dein Geist stets nimmt
Dein Pfad des Grau'ns ist trugerisch
Birgt nichts als Schmerz und Leid fur Dich

Szenarien Deine Angst ersinnt
Die niemals war, nicht wirklich sind
So furchtbar tost der Sturm in dir
Dies bose, alte Ungetier
Lockt aus der Finsternis hervor
Den garstig zischelnd Schattenchor
Der, wie ein kalter, kranker Hauch
Sich faulig hauft in Deinem Bauch
Und dann als ekler leichenwind
Gute und Schonheit von dir nimmt
Oh, armes, dunkles Wolkenkind

Armes, Dunkles Wolkenkind
Den schlimmsten Kurs dein Geist stets nimmt
Dein Pfad des Grau'ns ist trugerisch
Birgt nichts als Schmerz und Leid fur Dich

Armes, Dunkles Wolkenkind
Hast Dich erneut in Sturm gehullt
Im fadenschein'gen Pechgewand
Dich selbst in ew'ger Nacht verbannt
