A Storm To Come - Van Canto




- Anfang fehlt -



[MESSENGERS]

Winds of the world unite in grief

Black and heavy rain

ordered to this very place in time

sweep the withered leafs



A storm to come

The storm is near

Join in or hide in fear

RakkaTakka RakkaTa



[THE GRIEFING PARTY]

Mercy be with us and peace within,

granted by the one who is and who was

and who eternally will be,

our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen



[MESSENGERS]

Winds of the world unite in grief

Black and heavy rain

ordered to this very place in time

sweep the withered leafs



A storm to come

The storm is near

Join in or hide in fear

RakkaTakka RakkaTa



[PRIEST (Button-Maker)]

Lord, grant us your unquestioning mercy

Lord, look upon us with your eternal grace

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of

death,

I will fear no evil for thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff comfort me.



And it is written by the Prophet Jesaja:

Behold, I will send a messenger, John,

to prepare the way of the Lord.



We come from dust,

We return to dust.

John Gynt, rest in peace



In Nomine Patre et Filii

et Spiritus Sancti, Amen.



[PEER (adult)]

Staring into this deep black pit

In his hand a pile of dust

not understanding it

One loving look, the last



My father was a gambler

And we were his final bet

Once he put his cards on the table

our destiny was met



Father where're you going now

why did you gamble our luck away

no love for us, for me

too easy to betray?



Soon he will go his own way

deal the cards of his own play

Father, thank you for Nothing!

John Gynt rest in peace!



[MESSENGERS]

Winds of the world unite in grief

Black and heavy rain

ordered to this very place in time



A storm to come

The storm is near

Come along or run in fear

RakkaTakka RakkaTa



[PEER (adult)]

Please mother what's going on

They're supposed to be our friends

why don't they help us

instead they kick us out



Justice rules from above

No money no love

It is as simple as that

Just do not look back



Building a fortress around my heart

with friends of my own creation

never will betrayal form part

in my demon nation



[ÅSE]

Everything I will endure

suffer without lamentation

humility will be my cure

I will not plead

I will not question



for my son

just for him

from now on every year

eternal winters long



like a word

like a breeze

like a song



[PEER]

Mother? Mother!



[MESSENGERS]

Winds of the world rejoice

Black and heavy rain

ordered to this very place in time



A storm to come

The storm is here

Come along or run in fear



The elementary force

Ruthless, unafraid

We are the rulers of the world



A storm to come

The storm is here

Come along or run in fear



[PEER (young adult)]

So I spread my wings out wide

Over mountain's ridge the storm I ride

dragons, demons, faithful friends

know them at my side



Thus I make the world my subject

ruthless, unafraid

And I play for my own sake

the very game which I create



I know you and your games

yet I accept but rules to my aims



And so I spread my wings out wide

Over mountain's ridge the storm I ride

dragons, demons, faithful friends

know and trust them at my side

I subject the world to my rule

ruthless and unafraid

And I play for my own sake

the very game which I create



I know you, I know your games

I accept but rules to my aims



This is how I make the world my claim
