Dorn (German for thorn) is a German/Austrian and Dutch/Flemish surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Dorn is a diceless tactical fantasy board game developed in Czech Republic and published by Altar in 2006.
One or more players control a group of heroes and one player controls the evil Dornkeeper and his monsters. The heroes need to collect three artifacts from the game board and then they can challenge the Dornkeeper himself. As there is no dice in combat, the game is based on strategy and tactics, when heroes need to cooperate in order to win.
There are nine heroes to choose from, each having unique abilities on three experience levels. The Dornkeeper has eight different types of monsters at his disposal. Treasure cards found on the gameboard as well as random Blessing cards make every game quite different, there is no ultimate winning strategy.
In November 2009, the first expansion became available, with the title "Eternal Return of the Koschei", featuring new heroes, monsters and an immortal Dornkeeper.
The game was originally published in Czech, but is now available in English (including the first expansion).
Dorn is a German black metal band.
It was founded as a solo project in 1998 by Roberto Liebig, the ex-keyboardist of pagan metal band Riger. Dorn's 2000 debut album Falschheit was recorded in the studios of CCP Records in Linz, with Liebig playing all of the instruments himself.
The album received good reviews, so Liebig was signed by CCP Records and left his role in Riger. Falschheit was followed by Brennende Kälte in 2001 and Schatten der Vergangenheit in 2002. For the 2004 album Suriel, Liebig was joined by Michael Werber, Sebastian Ziem, Lars, and Ira. With this lineup, Dorn toured in Germany, but in 2005 Lars and Ira left the band. In October 2006, Liebig and the other two remaining band members recorded the album Spiegel der Unendlichkeit, which was released on February 23, 2007.
If I could get far closer to you, far closer...
I'm brightly fading
Savouring the doubt
Your sonnets promising til I bail you of fear
I'm thinking about it
Clouding all over me like summer in June
Running away just get closer to you
To be nearer
I'm hiding behind it
But I can't deny
What I know in my mind
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
The love you gave me
On a silver spoon
Served me well and darling now I am full
I need something sweeter
I can't fight it
A familiar feeling I know that I've been through
Another time before me and you
I can't go any deeper, no
And I can't fight it
I can't deny
What I know in my mind
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
I can't deny
What I know in my mind
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
So if I can be far closer to you, then I might...
If I could be far closer to you, then I might...
But I can't deny
What I know in my mind
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
No I can't deny
What I know in my mind
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
I'm brightly fading
Savouring the doubt
Your sonnets promising til I bail out of fear
I'm thinking about it
