about

There had been quite a few times in his life when I felt completely lost and forsaken: like a ship that no longer knew which stars to follow. Though I was searching for his way, I was unable to find it - until I went to the sea to find inner peace and tranquility again.

The waves of the sea sang of how I carried everything I was looking for inside of me, and that I should no longer let myself be distracted by people and their erratic behaviour, their fickleness and capricious emotions, but follow the compass of my dreams instead -- and that compass finally led me to Ayuma.

Ayuma and I have been married for 15 years by now, and each and every day we get to spend together is like a precious gift to us.

"Nehalennia" is both an ode to the sea, which always gave me comfort and strength when I felt lost, as well as a declaration of love to my wonderful wife.

lyrics

See the waves
Cold and clear
A wuthering stream of memories

And I will run and flow with the sea
Seeking shelter beneath the storm

The Ocean's roar
Makes me fear to lose myself
Amongst the breaking waves

Maybe I'm not lost at all
But maybe the answer lies behind
The siren's call

Cold, cold water
Will leave behind
Cold, cold water
They'll never find

Oh, why did I flee from a velvet night
Into the blind glare of a dying world

No more distractions from that world outside
In the falling rain
I won't run away no more

Just like a trail of scarlet
Your scent still lingers on
Echoes of your laughter
Never fading
Never ending

Words you've said
Tears you cried
Like precious diamonds
Your hands full of grace
Caressed my skin

All I ever wished for
All I ever dreamed of I found that night
In your warm embrace

Oh, my love
As I was lying by your side
You revealed paradise to me
Or was it just a dream?

Angels laying siege to the fortress of my heart
But I won't be torn apart

And when daylight dies
Oh, these dreams arise of endless fields of rye
And an autumn's nightly sky

The Ocean's roar
Makes me fear to lose myself
Amongst the breaking waves

But maybe I'm not lost at all
Maybe the answer just lies behind
The siren's call

Cold, cold water
Will leave behind
Cold, cold water
They'll never find

The Ocean's roar
Makes me fear to lose myself
Amongst the breaking waves

But maybe I'm not lost at all
Maybe the answer just lies behind
The siren's call
