Wraith / The Stage and the Meadow Songtext
von Bode Preto

When no one can see
I′m there watching you

In your coffin and your cradle
I've been present, unseen
I′m a wraith, a witness
With intimate access

Emerging, falling
I've seen you, wrong or right

In deep chaos! In misery
In deep chaos! Fall
In deep chaos! Head of gold
In deep chaos! Crawling

I saw you crawl, cry, sick
In fire as Satanas kings fall
Kiss endless in fear a haze


Peering through a dense mist
Which has blinded us, confused beasts
Revealing the function of life
Walking off the stage
To greater fields

Human affairs on the stage
From the meadow, what is seen
Looks so strange, out of place
A complete disharmony

Human affairs on the stage
From the meadow, what is seen
Looks so strange, out of place
A complete disharmony

Endless skies in the dead of night
Disconnected they are, from the play on the stage

Human affairs on the stage
From the meadow, what is seen
Looks so strange, out of place
A complete disharmony

Human affairs on the stage
From the meadow, what is seen
Looks so strange, out of place
A complete disharmony


The audience, squeezed and still
Expecting a thrill, to ratify their games

While deep in the forests
Surrounding the meadows
Lovers unite in shivering silence
Why are they always disrupted
By the agents of shadows?
The agents of shadows
