Flügel der Nacht

I wanna tell a story

I wanna tell a story

I wanna tell a story,
Filled with memories and dreams,
One to shout out all the glory
And to show that it's not how it seems.

I wanna tell a story,
Name every feeling ever felt,
Enter the deep phrases' territory -
And use methapors to make your hearts melt.
I wanna play a game with letters-
   Find their right order for my desire-
Make them to my words - my abettors
Wanna make the recent truth a liar.
I wish I could make you fall head over heels
For your immortal self within the story's lines.
Wish I could enrapture with uncertain feels
- Impress and mezmerize, put so many signes.

But the story's still untold,
The words are vacuous, so strange.
No one listens, my voice gets cold.
Could I ever make a change?

My heart yearns for a ballad
But the words seem to escape my quill,
The parchment stays so pallid
And the poetry within the void is tattered and shrill

I wanna sing a song,
but I can't remind my tongue of the lyrics so sweet,
Nor my ears of the sound, was it deep and strong?
And I can't even remind my heart of the beat.

I wanna tell a story,
One you know as good as your best friends.
One that's still alive when I'm already weak and hoary.
One that never ends.
