  • Chapter III - 12" Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Found 2 more copies of the original vinyl pressing from 2001 in my cellar, including the 12" double-sided inlay sheet (containing lyrics, photos etc.). These are the last ones remaining.

    Please note that back then, vinyl didn't come shrink-wrapped and we took some of those to shows for merch sales, so there can be some minor damage to the outer cardboard (only at the edges), but vinyl itself is mint/never played.

    We know it's not the original price, this is meant to be appreciated as the more-than-20-years-old-collector's item that it is. Plus I'm not letting these last copies easily go again, just to see them pop up on ebay one week after... (P.S.: Also prices for shipping vinyl have recently been raised by Deutsche Post, sorry for that)

lyrics

Now far I, I am from you before my fire alone
And read again the hours that so silently have gone
And it seems that eighty years beneath my feet did glide
That I am old as winter, that maybe you have died

The shadows of the past swift stream across life's floor
The tale of all times, nothing that now exist no more
While the wind with clumsy fingers softly fumbles at the blind
And sadly spins the fiber of the story in my mind

I see you stand before me in a mist that does enfold
Your eyes are full of tears, and your fingers long and cold
About my neck caressing your arms you gently ply
And it seems you want to speak to me, yet only sigh

And thus I clasp entranced my all, my world of grace
And both our lives are joined in that supreme embrace
Oh, let the voice of memory remain forever dumb
Forget the joy that was, but nevermore will come

The shadows of the past swift stream across life's floor
The tale of all times, nothing that now exist no more
While the wind with clumsy fingers softly fumbles at the blind
And sadly spins the fiber of the story in my mind

And thus I clasp entranced my all, my world of grace
And both our lives are joined in that supreme embrace
Forget how after an instant you thrust my arms aside
For now I'm old and lonely, and maybe you have died
