Favourite Quotes:
Gott ist tot
Nach ihm wird nicht mehr gesucht
Wir sind zum ewigen Leben verflucht
Es zieht uns näher zur Sonne
Doch wir fürchten das Licht
Wir glauben nur Lügen
Verachten Verzicht
Was wir nicht hassen,
Das lieben wir nicht.
(Tanz der Vampire)
We drink your blood
And then we eat your soul
Nothing's gonna stop us
Let the bad times roll!

Carpe Noctem!
(Tanz der Vampire)
You must die to live forever

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Tough me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the Music of the Night!

I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight;
And but thu love me, let them find me here;
My life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
(Shakespeare; it always reminds me of the Phantom of the Opera)
GLORY TO THE BRAVE
(Hammerfall)
Snow is falling down on this glorious land
Colours fading, turning into white again
To fallen heroes angels sing, they cry their winter tears
Endless mourning days will turn to years
So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
Spread your wings and you will fly away now,
Fly away noq
Nothing on earth stays forever,
But none of your deeds were in vain!
Deep in our hearts you will live again,
You're gone to the home of the brave!
Every silent moment I will treasure inside
Even though it's hard to understand
That a silent wind can blow the candle out
Taking everything, leaving the pain far behind
You call out my name, but your voice is fading
Into the wind, embraced, you'll fly away now,
Fly away now
Nothing on earth stays forever,
But none of your deeds were in vain!
Deep in our hearts you will live again,
You're gone to the home of the brave!
My eyes are closed I feel you're far away (so close)
Far beyond that shining star
I know you'll find what you've been fighting for
Far beyond that shining star
Down on bended knee I pray, bring courage to these souls
Make 'em live forever in the heart of the bold
So I say farewell my friends, I hope we'll meet again
When my time has come to fall from grace
So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
Spread your wings and you will fly away now,
Fly away now
Nothing on earth stays forever,
But none of your deeds were in vain!
Deep in our hearts you will live again,
You're gone to the home of the brave!
- In Loving Memory of Severus Snape (RIP) -
Not marble nor the gilded monuments
Of princes shall outlive this pow'rful rhyme,
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmear'd with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.
'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room,
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So till the judgment that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lover's eyes.
(Shakespeare, sonnet 55)
