In English folklore an Asrai is a type of aquatic fairy, similar in some ways to mermaids, nixies, selkies, sirens or morgens. Some sources describe them as timid and shy, standing only between two and four feet tall, while others depict them as tall and lithe. They are said to look like beautiful young maidens, sometimes as young as children, while actually being hundreds of years old. They may have webbed hands and feet, resembling some descriptions of selkies.
If an Asrai is seen by a man, her beauty is so great that, according to folklore, the man will instantly wish to capture her. The Asrai are as deathly afraid of capture as they are of the sun, because if captured or if a single ray of sunlight touches them, it is said that they die and turn into a pool of water. They are, however, said to enjoy bathing in the moonlight.
The tale told of one fisherman who caught an Asrai claims that the touch of her skin was so cold, that where the Asrai touched his arm while pleading for her freedom—and her life—the flesh has never been warm since.
She puts on her makeup
And roses in her hair
She smiles to the face in front of her
And tries to be sincere
Tomorrow seems so far away
When the moon shines silver light
Shines her silver light
That blazes through the night
Never to last. Never would there be
Another question to ask
Forgotten in a dying flame
She opens her heart up
In hope of better times
A sliver of a trust betrayed
Of old, forgotten rhymes
Her eyes, they cast their twisted spells
And thorns tear through her dreams
Petals falling hopelessly
With nothings as it seems
Never to last. Never would there be
Another question to ask
Forgotten in a dying flame
Questions never been asked
In the silence of the night
And even when she tries to talk
I forget, I forget myself
Escape in lonely stories
Too sad for her to tell
No one there to comfort her
She sighs, “It’s just as well…”
Never to last. Never would there be
Another question to ask
Forgotten in a dying flame
Never meant to last
Never would there be
Another question to ask
I'm feeling restless tonight
Is it a dream or our goodbye?
The snake bites my spine
I'm between the devil and the deep awakening
Your hand on my mouth
I choke in the words
And nothing comes out
I'm too deep
Still too connected
The warmth unprotected
I'm in too deep
I know what I'm feeling but I can't stop thinking
The poison of a jealous mind
I'd rather live the lie than be lost in the truth
At least you had a choice, but you took
You took mine, too
I see the fear in your eyes
I want to get closer
I see the fear in your eyes
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
Every touch feels different
Every word I can't believe
Every touch feels different
We're both locked up in our grief
Please don't ask me how I feel
You don't want to hear
The doubt I'm already in
Your hand on my mouth
I choke in the words
And nothing comes out
I'm too deep
Still too connected
The warmth unprotected
I'm in too deep
A pale light enters my room
A skinny wrist
A clammy hand on white sheets
Side with fear
I can't move
I'm in agony
Only my eyes lived
And showed the sadness of a loss
A small world surrounded me
There's nothing more
Nothing more left
Exhausted by wandering
Through the cruel days
Awakening sadness
As I recall
Outside, this changing time provokes me
My big desire, I can't hear this choking love
And I can't hold our memories
Exhausted by wandering
Through the cruel days
Awakening sadness
As I recall
The sun closes
Her eyes for the night
Strange shadows rise
At my wall
They are trying
To catch my light
And dance together
Into this dark night
Exhausted by wandering
Through the cruel days
Awakening sadness
The pain it's
making me sick
my eyes
everything moves
I won't cry
I hold myself the mirror
touch me
hold me...
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
my breath...
everybody's hurt
my eyes
and love me
Because there's a hole inside of me
please fill it up
the clouds...
everything's changing
I won't grow up
no I won't
please touch me
the pain...
the pain is me
Like a long day in life
Never so strong is the mercy inside
I feel my eyes turn to the skies
Sliding slowly, melting in your eyes
You cover up the cruelty
They built so carefully for all thoseyears
You cover up the cruelty
They built so carefully for all those years
Spit on Mother Nature
When you yearn and cry out her name
And cry out her name
Cry little child our bodies
Drown our sorrow tomorrow
How painful it is to watch you vanish
Don't say you're sorry cause you can't
Fill this hole
You cover up the cruelty
They built so carefully for all thoseyears
You cover up the cruelty
They built so carefully for all those years
Spit on Mother Nature
When you yearn and cry out her name
And cry out her name
How lonely is the darkness of the night
Say goodbye to a lost friend
Desperatly seeking to remain
Fall into girief that finally turns to silence
When silence turns into madness
An endless rage against all odds
Spit on Mother Nature
When you yearn and cry out her name
And cry out her name
She came into your life
Like a shadow of a doubt
She wants to explore the
Shadow of your doubt
The shadows fall
And the silence returns
You feel the forest breath
And she gives the breath of life
As she falls into your arms
As she falls
She's falling into your dreams tonight
She stands before me
Her white dress on the ground
I tasted my wanting
As she wounded my soul
As she falls into your arms
As she falls she's falling
Your dreams tonight
Forget my past in your game
This is just a bruise
This is just the mirror meant to show the truth
Dusty eyes set free to rise, changing over soon
Dusty eyes to see now the changes in you
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
I can't breathe this poison
It strangles little girls
The marks of pain remaining
Upon her face a pearl
A trail for all, a sinner’s ball
Stare with hungry eyes
A trail for all the sinners
Staring as you rise
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
All that's left until the end
All that's left, our time be damned
Your hand’s so cold
Oh, forgive me
This is the mirror
It reflects what is real
Sinners stare as you rise
And they kill with their eyes
This is the end
Our time may be damned
As you trip, as you change
As you slip out of range
This is the mirror
It reflects what is real
Sinners stare as you rise
And they kill with their eyes
This is the end
Our time will be damned
As you trip, as you change
As you slip
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
All that's left until the end
All that's left, our time be damned
It doesn't matter
How hard I try
Nothing that is has changed
After this long, long time
When the angel closed her eyes
She spread her wings
She tried to comfort you
As she spreads her wings
The truth will find it's way
And all your twisted lies
Beat up against the wind
As The Angel closed her eyes
I hope you feel the same
The force is for us all
Give you all the trust
Close your eyes
And let it go
So lift me up
And fly upon a dream
You've recognised it all
But it's not what it seems
The truth will find it's way
And all your twisted lies
Beat up against the wind
As The Angel closed her eyes
I'm whispering your words
To close this chapter's end
I'm frozen inside
And lost in your different worlds
When the angel closed her eyes
She spread her wings
She tried to comfort you
As she spreads her wings
The truth will find it's way
And all your twisted lies
Beat up against the wind
As The Angel closed her eyes
So lift me up
And fly upon a dream
You've recognised it all
But it's not what it seems
The truth will find it's way
And all your twisted lies
Beat up against the wind
She has met the stranger inside
Looking in the mirror
She saw the face behind
And how can she forgen
When it's staring in her face
She can't remember where it went wrong
Staring in the mirror
It's the face on the wall
Screaming for these questions
But she already knew it all
The silence marks the time
What's happening?
Don't know
And walked away
And walked away
A silence for the storm
I lost your face in the crowd
I thought that's what you wanted
But the fear keeps me screaming
She apologised for her abuse
She believes her body is only for use
Locked up in a tower
Broken glass inside
She's pressing her lips on the wall
She screams out
But no one wants to hear
But no one wants to hear
She's a stranger to herself
See the reach of a child in you
From a touch in the dark
Among the shades of blue
From a touch in the dark
A hand, a name, a queen in truth
A balanced word in a new song
No sound from this place belongs
Among the shades of blue
See the reach of a child in you
From a touch in the dark
Among the shades of blue
From a touch in the dark
And through the fields of flow
And meaningless sentence
From a touch in the dark
For all that happened since
In these meaningless ways
A hand, a name, a queen in truth
A balanced word in a new song
No sound from this place belongs
Among the shades of blue
A touch in the dark
A hand, a name, a queen in truth
A balanced word in a new song
No sound from this place belongs
Among the shades of blue
Where will I stand
When there’s nothing left to say?
Please stay
What will you choose
When there’s nothing left to lose?
Time stands still
Hide behind the walls
Where a house is not a home
I can’t break through
Stay with me
Time is all we have
Stay with me
Stay with me
When there’s nothing left to hold
Please stay
How can I breathe
When the sky has turned to grey?
It fades away
I don’t understand
Does it always feel so cold?
Come breathe with me
Does the nightmare find your head
Staring at the face
The face behind?
And i can't explain
When the sky has turned to grey
Breathe with me
Be with me
Breathe with me
When there’s nothing left to lose
She wrote her name in sand
And lived a lie within
The sadness and sorrow
For the loss that came again
Water washed the tears away
But the emptiness stayed
Tamed itself with outrage
And spit the bitterness away
This water won't feed the earth
Nothing grows on sour ground
She cannot calm the screams
To silence in her head
Staring with her empty eyes
Try to feel what she had
She wrote her name in sand
And loved a lie within
Where beauty can be cruel
And beauty takes it all
This water won't feed the earth
Nothing grows on sour ground
I will swim with you
And play amongst the waves
Where mermaids will be singing
Where the sweet song remains
Like a comfort whisper
To be together again
She wrote her name in sand
And believed her lie within
This water won't feed the earth
Nothing grows on sour ground
This water won't feed the earth
Don't close the door
It's cold outside
Nothing is the same anymore
It’s all changing It’s cold outside
Don't close the door
I feel one with the cold outside
And now nothing seems the same anymore
It’s all changing
And I’ve absolutely no control
So tell me now
Is it something I said, is it something I did?
Is it something in between you and me?
Just you and me
My words turn into accusations
Yours into excuses
The distance creeps between you and me
So why don’t you just go on and tell me now
Is it something I said, is it something I did?
Is it something in between you and me?
Oh, just tell me now
Is it something I said, is it something I did?
Is it something in between you and me?
Just you and me
No matter what I say here, I'll still be losing
No matter what I do, I am lost anyway
What’re you saying? Just tell me now
Is it something I said, is it something I did?
Is it something in between you and me?
Oh, just tell me now
Is it something I said, is it something I did?
Is it something in between you and me?
Just you and me
Is it something I said, is it something I did?
Is it something in between you and me?
Oh, just tell me now
Is it something I said, is it something I did?
Is it something in between you and me?
Just you and me
And it cuts me like a knife
A different story, waiting for your lies
Is it something I said?
Is it something to regret?
Don't close the door
It's cold outside
Nothing seems the same anymore
It is changing
Then I can't got wrong
So tell me now
Is it something I said
Is it something I knew
Is it something in between
You and me
Just you and me
My words start in excuses
You're in excuses
The distance between you and me
Don't fill the way to memorie
Is it something I said
Is it something I knew
Is it something in between
You and me
Just you and me
Don't matter what I say
Well, I am losing
It's no matter what I do
I'm lost, I'm losing you
Is it something I said
Is it something I knew
Is it something in between
You and me
Just you and me
And how could I know
That's when I would go home
Different story's waiting for your lies
So tell me the lie
Is it something I said
Is it something I knew
Is it something in between
You and me
Just you and me
It circles in my head
It's slipping into the time
You felt sorry for yourself
Years ago I found a letter, it wasn't mean for me
But i've read the anger, your fear, the horror and agony
Words I remember, now they're a part of me
cirle in my head and i can feel the pain
It's my name
The new life that you expected,
you never heard them cry
Our arms are empty,
try to live with the lie
Never taken seriously,
You've lost it all, your family
I can't look straight into your eyes
afraid of what I see
No, you can't remember me
And I asked myself, what hurts the most
It's all in our name
It's all in our name
Starring at you and try to look
into your empty eyes
You whispher words of madness
What 's the world inside
The life you lived so long
you're alive inside you are dead
Isn't there a way, what's the game to play
How long can you hold
It's been so long to be afraid
What are the swords they whispher
Try to find a way, to let it all end
It's all in our name
It's all in our name
Want to hold you in my arms
You're so close, so far away
Goodbye, I told you so
promising to be back soon
A tear in my eye
I know that i lied, I wished could do more
I'm no sorry, I'm no sorry
Goodbye
Shelter for a frightened girl
Who lost so many years
Lost track of all the tears
Shelter in a bitter world
Protect her from her fears
She needs shelter now
Give her shelter
Never was she scared before
Death tempted her away
Gave meaning to her days
Never did she dare explore
The feeling held at bay
And she never will
No, never
Forever we severed
The ties that bind together
Keeping us alive
We're losing, refusing
The cry that keeps us choosing
Was she hearing mine?
Did she take the time?
Wander through your fate alone
Where madness rules the weak
Too painful there to speak
Wonder why the love has gone
Your loss is not unique
So you wander lost
And you wander
Forever we severed
The ties that bind together
Keeping us alive
We're losing, refusing
The cry that keeps us choosing
Was she hearing mine?
Lost inside this memory
Break under the weight
Will my fate be doomed
In front of me, just for a while to ever see
A reaching voice beyond my mind
Your words go down my spine
All my questions are asking why
We died tonight
Enclosed in the dark
Wandering ourselves
And tried to hide our lies again
Walking on wind as I recall the last time
I don't mind you asking question
For all and more, it's yours to know
In my dream I bleed for you
Obliviated in your reasons to be
The one to hurt and feel my lies
The one to hurt and feel my lies
Your face still colours my mind
Reality turned into the inside
Walking on the wind
As I recalled the last time
I don't mind you asking question
For all and more, it's yours to know
In my dream I bleed for you
Obliviated in your reasons to be
The one to hurt and feel my lies
The one to hurt and feel my lies
Cry out my words
A craving is calling me
Desire in all its splendor
Pulsating, rushing sounds
Getting louder and louder
Go, go
Show you the secret me
Flaunting my desire
Moral virtues are beneath me
Oblivious to pain
Go, go To the underground
Hey, hey Let’s die forever
No, no No limits here
Open up, you know you want to
Let's go
Feed me with your last breath
Embrace your destination
Take me as far as you dare
I'm on the edge so....
Go, go To the underground
Hey, hey Let’s die forever
No, no No limits here
Open up, you know you want to
Let's go
Feel the force out of control
Shattered dreams are taking over
Fears have lost their lustre now
Excel in all my senses
Give it up . Give it
Go, go To the underground
Hey, hey Let’s die forever
No, no No limits here
Open up, you know you want to
I walk through the garden
Touching rain like sparkling diamonds
Walking next to you
In the garden of innocence
Standing alone in the circle of insanity
The voices circle in your head
The next step leads you to the darkness
Oh please let me forget
Once there was a child in the garden
Her innocence so pure
Her ominous fragile soul
They are mine to keep
Standing alone in the circle of insanity
The voices circle in your head
The next step leads you to the darkness
Oh please let me forget
Protect your body against insanity
You will think it will not come
But before you know, you'll wish it wasn't me
Protect your body against insanity
You will think it will not come
But before you know, you'll wish it wasn't me
They circle in your head
Dream the dream
You always do
Catch me if I fall
I've lost the old game
We'd played before
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold
I've lost the old game
We'd played before
I close my eyes
And try to remember the panic in yours
Strange what time can do
It gives and takes our precious memories
Melting with all my senses
Melting here with you
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold
I've lost the old game
We'd played before
I try tou touch the moon
But I fall back
Reality kills
The dream has just begun
You'll always be apart
Of a whisper on the wind
Melting with all my senses
Melting here with you
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold
I've lost the old game
We'd played before
Reproach the scarves
We'd kept a secret
Buried her head in her hands
(Delilah, you liar)
Buried the sun with the mysteries within
(She craves the sin)
She played her perfection
The lie was waiting to be
The words left unspoken
Now you will see…
Her lips are sealed
And dead in a kiss
The promises, she made and touched her lips
Sleep through the fear, through the din
(Go to sleep my little one)
Blood on my lips from the dagger that I kissed
(Kiss the pain away)
Now death I have tasted
Though I had sensed your treason
Your virtues lay wasted
So it will be…
Her lips are sealed
And dead in a kiss
The promises, she made and touched her lips
Burn in her fire with your passion within
Change my life, seize me. Change me, chain me
Change my life, please me. Change me, chain me
A lonely beach in the distance far
The building sites, the city lights
Seeking her Atlantis
Beneath a windy town
Lost in her fantasies
Drowning in her dream
The waves so wild
Pounding patterns into white
Modern times descended
The dream is taking flight
Running from the beach, suspended are the lights
“What’ll I find,” she says, “In the ropes, death or life”?
Returning to the folds, like her mother’s dress
She heads for the structure, for eventual re-birth
Change my life, seize me. Change me, chain me
Change my life, please me. Change me, chain me
The water’s black and the moon drifts by
Orchestral nights perform their rites
Sinking in Atlantis
They dance on their way down
A figure slowly exiting from this crazy scene
And Neptune smiles with his trident come to life
He summons me to the sea
To be his liquid wife
Standing on a bridge, I can see for miles
“Change my life,” she says
A cab drives by and she smiles
Spinning round in the city light, she got up without a word
Turned around and disappeared into the night
Change my life, seize me. Change me, chain me
Wake up little girl
We’re running out of time
I know that you’ve been running
On a long, lost line
They cut your tongue in pieces
Denied you any rights
They burned you with their secrets
And taunted you to bite
You never fear the darkness
The light will only see
The struggle you’ve been into
The gashes on your knees
The chains of filth and aching
The barbs of suffering
They almost seem more beautiful
Than this life
Just let her sleep. On a bed of wild roses
Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin
As I kiss her goodnight. I kiss her goodbye
I never know, so tell me
The colour of your eyes
It turns all red and scorches
Every time I ask you why
Frightened of the truth
Or can’t I recognize the lie
Can I ever find the courage?
To conquer this and…
Just let her sleep. On a bed of wild roses
Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin
As I kiss her goodnight . I kiss her goodbye
Do I wear the mask of your enemies
There's no echo of this sorrowed land
The scars are buried deep
All your trails so many years
Still hunting for the things unknown to man
Just let her sleep. On a bed of white roses
Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin
As voices speak alone
when bitter tears break down
How should we know what has gone
Time's lost it's mark hidden in a spell
For all and more and more to come
In every day a tear, an honest cry that lies
When will we ever see the spell that's growing older
When will we ever see, is to know that we will die
Tomorrow is another day she says
word's that have been spoken, the truth for today
hear your words to feel your warmth
so empty, empty tomorrow
All the moments twisted in my head
lost in my heart
Looking at the past, the time goes so fast
Moments to forgive and moments to forget
it turned me so sad
it turned me so sad
and asked myself what has been wrong
