The Pilgrimage Lyrics - Crimson Moonlight

As dawn melted my heart 

I opened up my eyes 

Red roses from above 

Were planted inside of me 

And when the never fading love 

Was established in my heart 

My traveling days began 

I walked beside the constantly flowing 

Spring of clear water 

Always ready to slaked my thirst 

And give me peace and strength 

I ran towards the fields 

Inviting me to let my tiered soul rest 

How sweet they were 

Those pastures of green 

A smell of life filled the air 

And the sun gave constant energy 

To my once dead spirit 

The magnificence of this paradise 

Told a wonderful tale about a creation 

Taking place since times immemorial 

I could hear the tranquil whisper: 

"Come closer to me, beloved one" 

The Spirit's voiced touched 

My ears with love and care 

I continued the path 

And stepped inside the forest 

Still hearing the whisper: 

"Come closer to me..." 

But suddenly the beautiful trees 

And days light turned 

Into a landscape of thorn and fog 

Soon I was lost in an unknown wilderness 

And there was no end to my fright 

Tears ran down my mourned face 

And the pain showed no mercy 

There I was, a helpless and frightened child 

At last I fell down on my knees in prayer 

While feeling the despair 

Coming closer and closer 

"Father, help me out of here", I screamed 

But no answer was heard 

"See my pain..." no one there 

I became a lonely prisoner 

Bound by chains of doubt 

Nowhere could I find the meaning 

Of things happening to me 

At day I stood screaming, crying and praying 

And at night I lay shaking in terrible helplessness 

Finally, all my power was gone 

And I nearly gave up it all 

With my last strength I lifted 

My face towards heaven and cried it out: 

"Father, Thy will be done, and not mine" 

Then I felt in a total less of power 

Awaiting the arrival of another frozen night
