1. Delusions Of Grandure

"Emperor Nemo looks out, through the huge panoramawindow, at the Eidolon skyline.
Vast metal structures looms as long as the eye can see.
At this hour the flashing neon signs can clearly bee seen,
and a few repulsorlift crafts scurries about.
In the horizon Eidolons large spaceport rise like a monster made of metal and concrete.
The huge man frown, as he pace the room, occasionally looking out the window.
His power is immense, yet incomplete."

All around
This power town
I can feel
The surging wind
Deafening
The silent rain
Beating down
The weakened weeds
Sickening
Their helpless moans
Trapped within
Their weakened wills

Delusions of grandure
Delusions of grandure

All around
This power town
I can see
The empires' clasp
Smothering
The people's revolt
Neverending
The emperors' grasp

Delusions of grandure
Delusions of grandure
Delusions of grandure
Delusions of grandure

2. Sermon

"In the old stone church the poor seek refuge from lifes' reality.
A thundering voice rings out mightily, preaching the gospel of the light.
His words speak of hope and of a dream where everyone will dwell in happiness and joy.
He seeks to purge the world of evil and turn darkness into light.
The fire in his eyes shows utter devotion to the light.
In his mind there is not other way out of this dark reality."

An unforgettable dream
Resides deep inside
A land of happiness and joy
For the ones who dare

Listen to his wisdom
Open up your mind
Feel the light shining bright
Deep within your soul

Let it be written
His words will be your guide
Let it be done
His will will be your sword

Follow in his steps
And you will not frail
Guided by the light within
Your answers you will find

Let it be written
His words will be your guide
Let it be done
His will will be your sword

An unforgettable dream
Resides deep inside
A land of happiness and joy
For the ones who dare

Let it be written
His words will be your guide
Let it be done
His will will be your sword

Let it be written
His words will be your guide
Let it be done
His will will be your sword

3. Galactic Galleon

"Galactic Galleon, a giant starship. Built of titanium, it's almost indestructible.
With looming guntowers, the gothic structure casts shadows even in the vastness of space.
Its pilot, Eron, travels through space to seek those whose freedom has been bereft."

Ride the waves
Of the cosmic sea
Ethereal winds
In my crimson sail

The burning sun
A mystic sphere
Lightning rays
At me wail

The truth I seek
All across the sea
Freedom I give to
The weak and frail

4. Eidolon

"As darkness falls, the huge towers casts tall shadows in the moonlight.
The metal and concrete facades, which emphasizes an unsurpassed might,
radiates an eerie atmosphere that chills you to the bone.
In the shadows of all this wealth the indigent seek shelter from the pour.
With the preachers' words still in mind, their hope gives them the strength to carry on.
Among these Eron walks, and sees he's got work to do."

The cold darkness
Chills my peaceful soul
As I wander determined
Through the city streets
The succulent air
It reeks of death
The stench of shit
So awful foul

The doleful inhabitants
Are mere puppets
Taught to obediently serve
The glorious emperor
His sick greed
For the ultimate power
Infects all life
Preventing its purpose

Eidolon
The city of lost souls
Eidolon
The city of the lost

Eidolon
The city of lost souls...

The people break in hopeless despair
Their cries fills the air
The evil that has caused this fear

A torn and wretched life they live
Their freedom I will give
The evil that has caused this fear
Will fall into the sear

5. A Wayfarer's Tears Part I

"In an old public hospital a forgotten man lies all alone.
The sheets can barely keep him warm in the cockroach infested hospital room.
Outside the dirt-clogged window the snow falls like gentle angels,
while a couple of sparrows sings by the window.
In a table by the bed is a vase with a near-withered rose."

Cold white walls
Are my only comfort
As the freezing air
Numbs my frail skin
Only the fire within'
Soothes my tired soul
Bringing shelter from this
Cold winter chill

Sparrows by my window
Sings a haunting tune
Of hope and warmth
To ease my tired soul
These small, gentle creatures
Shows more love and care
For the sick and decrepit ones
Than the people I have met

They bring to life
Pictures of my past
All grey and black
Devoid of any colour

6. A Wayfarer's Tears Part II

"By the window in ruined-down apartment, a young man with a tom heart sits,
while the rain hails down outside, mercilessly.
The room is sparsely lit,
with just a few sticks of furniture; a table, a sofa, two chairs, a stereo and a fridge.
On the floor are scattered pieces of broken glass and bloodstained footprints.
On the floor, by the window, are the shattered pieces of a picture that depict one with a radiant
beauty."

Every day heavy rainclouds hang over
As loneliness threatens to bury me
But every once in a while
A tiny light shines through
Warning my weakened heart
Making my life worth living
Therefore it saddens my soul
The you don't understand
Your warmth is all I yearn for
Yet pain and sorrow is all you give
The chilling wind and rain
Sing to soothe my pain
My heart feels cold and dark
Without the warming spark of love

A hollow wound is felt
Where my love once dwelt
A lonely tear I cry
As the leaves pass me by

7. A Wayfarer's Tears Part III

"The rain is pouring down, while the wind is raging like a savage.
Down the treelined avenue a lost soul walks, seemingly untouched by the fierce weather.
The ground is littered with orange-yellow leaves, a memory of what was a beautiful summer.
There is no sign of life, except for a lonely crow fighting against the wind"

A crow flies listless
Singing a song of sadness
With heavy wings it struggles
Against the vicious boggles

Its dark eyes are hollow
The pain it bravely swallow
Suddenly I am aware
A common pain we share
And now I comprehend
To the weak I must tend
To the very end...

The piercing rain stings
The birds rain stings
The birds' battered wings
As it tumbles to the ground
Into a muddy mound

8. A Wayfarer's Tears Part IV

"The city is filled with sick and decrepit people.
All trying to find a way through another day.
Depression, sorrow and despair are present in them all.
Some of them break, and commit suicide.
Among all these forgotten people a flaming soul tries to give them comfort,
by offering them the love and care they deserve and need.
His face shows the countless tragedies he has witnessed.
Each one as if chiselled out of stone.
In his embrace a young girl with a pale skin.
Her hands are covered in blood from her now bandaged wrists.
Tears run down her cheeks as her saviour soothes her pain."

The fallen, they gather
Inside my chapel of rest
Their sullen faces
Pale and frail

My warm embrace
Is what I offer
A modest comfort
In an ignorant world

I can feel the pain
At your soul it tears
Like sharp piercing needles
That your conscience wears

The answers that you seek
Are buried in your mind
To your voice you must listen
And life's meaning you will find

Deep inside your heart
I know there is a will
To light the life within
And protect you from the chill

9. A Wayfarer's Tears Part V

"A tired man sits on a hill, looking at the beautiful scenery and the dark,
gloomy city below that is like a cancer in mothernature's bosom.
The winds' whispering chants of nature's lore echo in the swaying trees.
Providing spiritual guidance to those who choose to listen.
The city's looming structures cast woeful shadows,
while the homeless try to find shelter for another rainy night.
At the chapel of the Forgotten, a young petite woman tends to the weak.
She too will learn that her face will forever be marked by the grief of others.
In an old public hospital a forgotten man lies all alone.
His body scarcely alive, as his life slowly drifts away.
The faithful servant finally gets his well-deserved rest."

The wind, it whispers
Singing its chants
Filling the air
With its love

The trees, moving
Creaking in unison
Filling the air
With their wisdom

The birds, flying
Joining the wind
Filling the air
With their hope

All this music
Lightens my heart
Filling my soul
With spiritual strength

As my life slowly flicks
These memories fill my mind
Most of them are a painful reminder
But their purpose I can find

The wind, it whispers
Singing its chants
Filling the air
With its love

The trees are moving
Filling the air
With their wisdom
And in the seemingly dense darkness
A blazing effigy flies above
Giving me comfort near the end
She's the one I've always loved

10. Starfall

(бонус)

11. Slaydream

(бонус)

Deep inside myself I seek for sanctuary
I'm running in my vision and there's no escape
I drag myself through endless voids of lost infinities
I can face the worlds of fearless destinies

Let me rest in your arms oh mother earth
You must save the one that you once gave birth
I see evil entities upon my way
I watch my dreamless nature as my body pray

Someone, everyone that can ease my pain
I regret it now when I see what I have slain

Someone, everyone that can ease my pain
I regret it now when I see what I have slain

12. Silence Of Time

(бонус)

Oh, restless horror of my life
I have repelled thy before
But now I fear I am too weak
Too weak to fight thy on

Time and time again we meet
Never real but all too lethal you are
And I can not carry my burden on
The synchronicity of time and death has closed on me

My companions in life are long dead
If not physically then dead in my mind
History repeats itself
And the last act of a great piece of art is coming to an end

I have raved through the garden of life
And now its guardian has come to throw me out
Fear is not a relevant feeling to what lies beyond
Rather curiosity of unknown realms

Walk I will
Through life and death
My quest is not at the final end
For even death is yeath to unravel

Speak of me for what I was
Not for what I am
Time heals they say
But it also brings on death

With the pressure of time
My body will crumble
And the dust will lie heavy on my stonefaced tomb
Deep below I shall lie but far away I will roam
Once again
