Light Blistering, so bright Re-align my core Lenses open wide Coming into form The imprint of a life
Too late you're calling out my name To raise me up out of my grave Alive in memory I'll stay If you shun these waters where I lay
Night Curtains coming down Into the shade I stray Losing all I've found To my own dismay My season has come to an end
Too late you're calling out my name To raise me up out of my grave Alive in memory I'll stay If you shun these waters where I lay
Leave me to rest Too drained to rise To try to detect Any light at the end of the tunnel...
Too late...
2. EYE OF NIGHT
See all the colours fading Out with the sun Season of sombre darkness Again, it has begun Cursed by recurring cycles Raised to be undone
Lost is this cause you're mourning Its death stands at your door Break under the pressure forming Or embrace it to your core
Behind closed eyes, see the signs
No faith to hold on to Let seasons evolve through the night The all-waking eye Is your rising sun No truth to hold you Let peace enfold you, it's alright To rely on light From the eye of night
The future stands veiled in opaque lace A figure without form That changes with every fear you face And every dawn
No faith to hold on to Let seasons evolve through the night The all-waking eye Is your rising sun No truth to hold you Let peace enfold you, it's alright To rely on light From the eye of night...
3. CONDEMNED TO SILENCE
Reach through your mind, internal sky Endless glide into the I Soul encaged, trapped behind your eyes Until it's saved, by sharing its light and darkness…
Save my immortal Soul From its own chains From a fate worse than death Condemned to silence To turn away Implode and fade
Days pass me by, carved out of time I transpire before my own eyes No decay can touch a fire But I choke my flame, in fear of shining too bright or too faintly…
Save my immortal Soul From its own chains From a fate worse than death Condemned to silence To turn away Implode and fade
We don't become who we dream of If we don't face our own demons If we shun what conceals us We go blind to that which frees us… if we shun
Reach through your mind, internal sky Endless glide into the I
4. A MILLION TEARS
A million things I want to say but I shield my face and turn away swallowing my words, silenced by shame.
A million tears I want to cry, but I shield my face and dry my eyes swallowing my hurt breaking inside
Please stay here with me. Just hold me as I bleed myself dry. See straight into me. Just look beyond the tears in my eyes.
A million things wish you would say, even if I fall that you will stay and none of my flaws can turn you away.
Please stay here with me. Just hold me as I bleed myself dry. See straight into me. Just look beyond the fear in my eyes.
Like a circle around me. As the prison of this boundary I need a storm to break it down. shield you eyes from the fire light. But please don't turn away from my side. I am not that - which I fight.
Every tear I cry burns away through my eyes where I can see through my lies.
Every tear I cry makes trails in the ice where I am warm inside.
See straight into me. Just look beyond the tears in my eyes. Please stay here with me. Just hold me as I bleed myself dry.
See straight into me. Just look beyond the tears in my eyes. Please stay here with me. Just hold me as I bleed myself dry.
See straight into me. Just look beyond the tears in my eyes.
5. HOUR OF THE NIGHTINGALE
weep, not for martyrs raise your head saline waters, won't raise the dead grief will haunt those who forget that night is not the end
embrace this as a nightingale in song in the darkest hour of shadows she belongs her voice reflects the colours of dawn
raise, not a fortress to protect from what the waters might reflect grief will wash those who caress that night, as though its their's
embrace this as a nightingale in song in the darkest hour of shadows she belongs her voice reflects the colours of dawn
there's an ocean of despair where the roads must end all souls must pass there for what is broken to mend on an island I will wait for you to rise again
embrace this as a nightingale in song in the darkest hour of shadows she belongs her voice reflects the colours of dawn it's pierces like an arrow through storm Daimonos
6. THE PASSAGE
An eye in the night appears as Something awakens Into the silent sphere of Nothing created
Mother of time she breathes Summons the autumn leaves Turning the wheel of history Constant Change is her name
Into the void I breathe life as it swallows me sinking into the hollow Tree of Eternity as winter buries her seed
Time - another inevitable lie Taken in the undertow of life We gravitate to annihilate The coals of our fire
Circles of Life and seasons Imprints of our achievements Carved in the aether and in The eyes of the one Who brings the night and the dawn
Time - another inevitable lie Taken in the undertow of life We gravitate to annihilate The coals of our fire
Time - another inevitable price Tides are my emotions Water my tears and ice Is time frozen Stored in the memory of a sigh
Time - another inevitable price Paid when the river of life In our veins runs dry The waking moments That pass before our eyes Are all we take to our graves.
7. BROKEN MIRROR
A piece of me in your eyes Reminds me of what's forgotten I need to get closer to the fire And feel my own reflection
A piece of me needs to die
A seed of the fatal kind No roots to grow and and thrive Some things weren't meant to stay alive Aborted while still in mind
You gave me a sword to pierce the lie Serrated edge for the demon inside A moment I'm torn between two tides But all I need I bear inside
Fear is a self-destructing fire That burns what's dead and dry Tears clean the wound that's left behind When a shadow is forced to into light
You gave me a sword to pierce the lie Serrated edge for the demon inside A moment I'm torn between two tides But all I need I bear inside
Broken mirror beauty divides Though it's an illusion It can cut like a knife
Don't try to give me What I think I desire It's mine to find
You gave me a sword to pierce the lie Serrated edge for the demon inside A moment I'm torn between two tides But all I need I bear inside
8. BLACK OCEAN
Will we make it through this night? Overshadowed by our minds.
Do we further entwine? Through the
Ocean, of deep and endless night. Ocean, calling from inside, calling from inside.
No tomorrow, no where to hide. Ocean of sorrow, just taken by the tide.
To be Further aligned to the
Ocean, of deep and endless night. Ocean, calling from inside, calling from inside.
Ocean, of deep and endless night. Ocean, calling from inside, calling from inside, calling from inside.
9. SINKING SHIPS
To know her is to see That nothing is as it seems She'll show her true face when you're Stripped of all belief Sweet tyrant, laying out the course with what you need To send you through the veils Of Eternity
Crack me open or I'll go down On this sinking ship, don't leave Me to drown Still the water bears the sound Of my eternal plea And all I found And all I will...
She calls you with a mirage Of what you want to see You fall into her arms As she shatters all your dreams Sweet violence, aimed to crack the shell from which you bleed And send you through the tree of Eternity.
Crack me open or I'll go down On this sinking ship, don't leave Me to drown Still the water bears the sound Of my eternal plea And all I found And all I will...
10. GALLOWS BIRD
A red sun on the horizon marks the hour of your call Somber is the one whose eyes are still veiled Watching your departure as mine watch you arrive...
BIRD VERSE I. Your hands are tied Your mask applied The mark of shame you wear to all eyes
No glimpse of light can touch your mind So black inside as you face your crime
Mmm... Dreams are unable to come Mmm... with you on this journey that's just begun.
BIRD VERSE II. Not a sigh As your noose is tied Is it pride, or are you frozen inside?
Mmm... Fear is unable to come Mmm... with you on this journey that's just begun.
How can I make peace with my path when life has come to this? Chased by the shadow of my past Eclipsed by what lies ahead
As the last ray of hope is lost, fight and resistance Nothing remains to hold me to this existence
