About Wyrd:
Wyrd (old German = fate of the people)

“Our character is trapped in a dream-like world. Frantically searching for a way out, he is challenged by the loss of time and space. While looking to escape this nightmare, his “ego” crumbles away and he realizes that nothing seems to matter anymore. Shattered by this realization, he searches for “Death” to convince him to take him but is tricked and played by “Death”. Digging his own grave he realizes that his suicide won´t solve any of his problems, as everything is just happening in his immortal mind. The concept of life and death does not apply to the world he lives in and no matter how often he tries to die, he is bound to this realm of nightmares…how will he escape from that?”

lyrics

Zu der Zeit, die zu schnell verrinnt
Wenn Das Uhrwerk seine letzte Stunde schlägt
Wenn Das letzte Sandkorn schwer hinab fällt
Bleibt keine Zeit

Sic transit gloria mundi

Kalt ist die Welt
Ohne Glanz, der mich mehr bei ihr hält
Ich reiß mich los
Ich reiße mich los

Ich haste bis ans Ende der Welt
Bis mein Leib zerberstet
Meine Knochen zerspringen

Ich suche den Tod, der mich erlösen muss

In einem grauen Tal
Ruft mich das tote Geäst
Durch einen sterbenden Sumpf
Um das Klagen eines einsamen Steins zu vernehmen

Will nicht mehr auf Erden stehen
So Blick ich auf den kalten Stein
Und schlage meinen Namen hinein

So will ich jetzt gehen
Darum hebe ich mein eigenes Grab
Weil ich den Schein der Sonne nimmer spüren mag

Bis der Glanz der Welt vergeht
