1. When We Are Forgotten
Silent rooms
Broken dreams
A distant light
Pain guiding us through life
Death, a beginning or the end?
Misery, our?constant?friend
The certainty of?death reaches for our hands
Have we?ever (Have we ever)
Ignited flames? (Ignited flames)
Flames (Flames, flames)
Of eternity
When we are forgotten
When we are forgotten
Behold the unknown spheres
Sacrifice our burning hearts
Have we ever (Have we ever)
Ignited flames? (Ignited flames)
Flames (Flames, flames)
Of eternity
When we are forgotten
When we are forgotten
When we are forgotten
Mankind will still tame the land
When we are forgotten
Our statues will reach the sky
2. Bis Ich Bin
Ich reiste
Durche die Öde
Mein
Als die Zeit das Licht gebar
Warf ein' Schatten auf den Pfad
Sehend, schreitend
Doch wer bin ich?
Nur ein Unlicht
Der Wind trägt Stimmen
Fauchend
Den Samen der Niedertracht
Tanzend
Doch als der Wald
Den Schein verschlang
Ward Licht, Schatten
Und nicht mehr mein
Bin ich, oder nicht
Im Zwielicht des Geästs
Bin ich eins mit dir
Im Schatten-Meer
Doch als die Nacht
Das Licht verschlang
Ward weder Schatten
Noch ward ein Licht
Ich weiẞ ich war
Ich weiẞ ich war
Und reise nun
Bis ich bin
3. My Solace I (Choirs Of Solitude)
Until naught remains
The day disappears into night
Sweeps time through the land
Howling and growling
Recurrent words echo
Cripple?my?soul
Until naught remains
Naught?remains
Tear at my bonds
And bloody my?life in loneliness
Choirs of solitude
Emptiness devours the dreams
The quest becomes memory
Ere the will drowned
And silence reigns
Within the shadow of hope
Grows a light of deception
Until naught remains
Naught remains
Tear at my bonds
And bloody my life in loneliness
Choirs of solitude
Choirs of solitude

5. A Cave Called Wisdom
Scattering light
Leaves cast shadows
Dispel, dispel
Echoes from the valley
Still bound
Luminous grove
The spell, the spell
From the abyss?deep
A?cave called wisdom?(Wisdom)
A cave called wisdom
I am entering?the scape
Emptiness and coldness
Solace is unknown
Illusion a dead mind
A cave called wisdom
Loss or victory
Following the glint of perception
Darkness is wisdom
Is wisdom
Down deep, pure silence
Whispering secrets
So gone, so gone
Toward the plain
The plain
Glazed grimaces
Agonized souls
Frozen to ice
The eye is opening
Loss or victory
Following the glint of perception
Darkness is wisdom
Is wisdom
6. Transcendence
The sun soared
Into dark moist green
Aflamed my mind
A thought was born
Under the misty roof of?dreams
The?others remained like?accursed
In deepest sleep
Within darkness I crept?out
Over the dreamers begone
Into solitude away
Outdoors, my stare solidified
The forest was ranged
By a poignant cold veil
And the firs drowned silently
Under darkness I ventured forth
A spirit for reason and verity
Within the misty breath of trees
I passed through the covert
Crowned and free
The shelter, dim and distant
I looked into my heart, saw bitterness
But bravery wasn't washed away
No
Transcendence
I espied now my path
My fate is nourished
Not by sheltered sleep
But dark obscurity
A way into an uncertain realm
A reign of whispering shadows
This may fill my craving
For transcendence and spirit

8. Absenz Elysium
Durch Raum und Zeit
Ein fliehender Traum
In Leere und Amnesie
Verschlingt die Farben Deiner Mär
Absenz Elysium (Elysium, Elysium)
Dein Reich (Dein Reich)
Dein Pfad (Dein Pfad)
Was hebt nun dein Haupt
Welch' Streben nahrt die Saat
Eitelkeit gebart Vergänglichkeit
Absenz Elysium (Elysium, Elysium)
Dein Reich (Dein Reich)
Dein Pfad (Dein Pfad)
Absenz Elysium
Absenz Elysium
Was war, vergeht
Was verging, verschwand
Der Schmerz verglüht
Am Ende allen Seins
Welch' Thron ergreifst du hun
Wer schenkt den Worten Lohn
Der Weisheit folgt Vergessenheit
Absenz Elysium
Dein Reich, dein Hohn (Dein Hohn)
Absenz Elysium
Dein Reich, dein Hohn (Dein Hohn)
Welch Gott erhört dein Fleh'n
Wer schenkt den Lugen Dank
Aus Gebet wird Sicherheit
Absenz Elysium
Dein Reich, dein Trank
Absenz Elysium
Absenz Elysium
Absenz Elysium
Absenz Elysium
9. My Solace II (Paths Of Perception)
Standing in the forest, so cold
Watching the snow fall silently
And the orphaned gleaming fires
While the?wind?caresses the firs
Enjoying?the emptiness and
And clarity
Will I ever?find my solace?
Will my thirst ever pass?
Still riding the nightly roads
And walking the paths of perception
The years passed fast, carving my heart
I drank from the grail of joy
Finding clarity in wilderness
And chaos in the dark
Against my fate, the tide
Will I ever find my solace?
Will my thirst ever pass?
Still lighting the nightly fires
When everybody has gone
Is gone
Will I ever find my solace?
Will my thirst ever pass?
Still lighting the nightly fires
When everybody has gone
Is gone

11. Frozen In Time
Dancing lights on the wave's crest
A cold wind stirs
On autumnal shores
Watching across into another time
Frozen?in?time
Until the sun's?elapse
Frozen in time
Until the stars summon?the shade
Frozen in time
At the cold springs
Voices hail through the night
Fill the void with memories
The feeling within another time
Frozen in time
While the fire burns
Frozen in time
While voices rake the blaze
Frozen in time
Until the sun's elapse
Frozen in time
Until the stars summon the shade
Frozen in time
While the fire burns
Frozen in time
While voices rake the blaze
Expended pleasures
Vanished friends
Forgotten pain
Depleted passions
Frozen in time
While the fire burns
Frozen in time
While voices rake the blaze

13. Owl Of The Black Forest
Who stays the distance
Follows me all the way
Who shadows every move I make
Two sentinel eyes?haunting?me
Only the moonlight?educes
Her raving beauty
Owl of the black?forest
Monarch of the night
Your reign supreme, the nocturnal sphere
Your ghostly cry shears through the bleak domain
Only the moonlight educes
Her raving beauty
Owl of the black forest
Monarch of the night
Owl of the black forest
Monarch of the night
You solitary chaser through a dismal sky
May your reign everlast
