1. The Primeval Dark

Rooted within the pitch-black heart
Entrenched behind weary eyes
In the faraway song the cold sea sung
In the calm whisper of winds afar
It lies, calls and awaits deep in the primeval dark
Embodiment of despair that leaves or serves the ties

2. While We Sleep

When your heart gives up, your love collapses.
When they have that, never lest going to stare no more.?
When you read that song on the throne out of sentiment.
When there's no one else but you to play it for.

When all you ever wish for is to go back once more
When all you ever wish is to open that cage and long.
When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret.
When you brought on curse unable to move on?

When the dreams are away, we are dreams.
Can't be hurt or distressed while we sleep.
Feel the warmth of love that deem?
We hear, but choose not to listen.

When the dreams are away, we are dreams.
Can't be hurt or distressed while we sleep.
Still reaching and praying by heart.
We go to land, we act be vile?

When you realize that your life is a one-way road
When you realize that there is no point of return

When you understand that you can't go back anymore
When you understand you can only move for worse.

When the dreams are away, we are dreams.
Can't be hurt or distressed while we sleep.
Feel the warmth of love that deem?
We hear, but choose not to listen.

When the dreams are away, we are dreams.
Can't be hurt or distressed while we sleep.
Still reaching and praying by heart.
We go to land, we act be vile?

We need to slow down
We need to slow down
We need to slow down, so you can catch me.

We need to slow down, so I can catch you.
We need to slow down, so you can catch me.
We need to slow down, so I can catch you.
We need to slow down, so you can catch me.

Slow down...

3. Revelation

I have drunk the yearning
Swallowed the flame in full
And now I will bend the skies to my will
Two eternities can never be so far apart
That I could not bridge them together

I hear the unsaid thoughts
The silence through the storm
I speak without the words
With unbound soul
I'll bring forth the Sun
And Hand over the Moon
I'll hide the evening stars
And fold them in your heart

I have touched the longing
Breathed the wistful air
If I wish, I will turn the winters to spring
Through the dust and fear I find the faintest light
And I can see life amidst the death that wreaths us all

I hear the unsaid thoughts
The silence through the storm
I speak without the words
With unbound soul
I'll bring forth the Sun
And Hand over the Moon
I'll hide the evening stars
And fold them in your heart

Here at your feet
I rest my head
Hear the roar of time
The birth of stars

This is the gift of man
The key to see it all
The hidden wonders
Hope in despair

But only the few will find it
Only the few will keep it
Only the few will ever turn towards the Sun

4. Black Heart Rebellion

Never pariah but always on one's own
Unwavering mind, black heart rebellion

Cold is the night for the ones born of shadows
Solemn is the way for the ones never restless
Cold is the night for the ones drawn to darkness
Desolate is the path of self-believers

Never bow to anyone; never give in
Never surrender to anyone; never go astray

Morning star, angel of the dawn
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Fill the silence with trembling thunder
light our path with glimmering eyes

Morning star, angel of the dawn
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Dress the sky in ever-cold silver
Unshroud the sphere from the clouds

Lies...
lies will bend the minds of the weak
Life...
Life is meant to be led, not followed

Lonely is the road for the ones seeking the truth
Bleak is the trail leading to perception
But only knowledge can cure the blindness
And only knowledge can open our eyes and make us see

Never below
never above
On one's own
Never below
never above
Black heart rebellion

5. Lose To Night

And all the time we've struggled for
Without a reason or was out
All the grounds we've based our fight on
No one remembers anymore why

And all the blame that has gone into
To run in circles, stand fast still
And all the hatred we've poured into
To fill the trench between us

No more tears from me
These rivers run dry
No more fear in me
This heart's stone inside

And as the shadows give way to light
Grow and thrive
Every day must lose to night
Fade and die

And all the time we spent together
United as one on the same side
And despite the chink in the armour
We fought a good fight, we had our time

And its a shame we let all precious
Gather rust, brittle and decay
Shame we had to kill all the graceful
To grasp what we really had there

6. Collapsing Words

Behold; never trust anyone
Every shadow shields a traitor
Always keep your friends near you
And your enemies even closer

behold; never trust anyone
Betrayal lurks in every corner
Always keep your back against the wall
Your mind collected and focused

The crash of collapsing worlds
The crackle of burning paper
Always speak less than you know
Walk one step ahead of others

Their words cut like knives
Their words sharp as razor
But never surrender to fear
Never let them take your freedom

And remember, you'll always be alone
Since the day you choose your own path
So make sure to prepare yourself
For everything live might throw at you

Because you know your only chances are
To win this war by each battle
Merit the difference; never bow anyone
You are your own saviour

Live as if you were to die tomorrow
Learn as if you were to live forever
Stay awake while the world is sleeping
Free yourself before you disappear

7. The River

Old is my moon – Circle is complete
Long has been the way – The day is giving in
The dusk is thickening, cold engulfs the shore
I hear across the stream as Charon blows the horn
One more summer I ask for, I crave
One more autumn just to finish my song

Grant me this wish, bestow this gift
Ye noble gods I pray
When all is done, I'll go down with the sun
And welcome the twilight that falls

I know its in vain
For it's my time
There is no delay
Last light will hide

Hearken now to the trumpet call
As it echoes in the dark (whirls through the night)
Time has come to say the farewells
Step down into the shades

I scrape the sand that's running out, slipping away
dripping now through this weary hands
Vanishing into thin air
All I ask is one more day to redeem it all
Then gladly I will pass and welcome the silent world

With no sound, upon the calm stream
The black boat moves, like mist on the waves

Slowly Charon rows, slowly sky turns
Stars fade away, we enter the shades

But a wanderer I am on the heaths of night
On this shore now ends my prolonged path
I am home at last
Tonight my dust is being gathered here
And brought before my father
Set before his throne, I am home at last

8. Ephemeral

Darkness is ignorance
Knowledge is light
Fight only with yourself
Or the shadows of the night

For this life will break you
Years will wear you down
And everyday you die a little
Until the shadows will take you

Dying doesn't make this world dead to us
Breathing doesn't keep the flame alive in us
Dreaming doesn't make time less real for us
One life
One chance
All ephemeral

All the pain and suffering
Will dispirit or feed you
For each and every time your failures
Will craft you
When the fear of them is gone
Fear is gone

We stumble and hover
At the edge of the world
One life, one chance
That's all we have

Never walk away
Turn your back on yourself
One life, one chance
That's all we have

9. The Promethean Song

A child will look up in the sky
Ask guidance from the sun
And directions from the moon
Counsel from the mighty ones
Hiding beyond the stars
Far above this earth

No redemption from the skies
No response up from heavens
No relief will ever come
from beyond this realm

For the spirits in their halls
Will turn away their glance
Hearken to the songs of the stars
Consider the weight of time
Ponder over the spheres
Watch how the firmament turns
To place your trust in them
Is like leaving in the dark
Like letting the gale take you where it may

Ward off your fears
Break your harness
Forge your own fate
Rebuild yourself

10. Shadows Of The Dying Sun

We're nothing more than shadows
Light scatter of the dying dun
Just particle beams in passing
Waves riding the eternal dark

We're nothing more than shadows
Mere remnants of the distant past
Animated sparks of energy
Bursting flames of the end

We're nothing more than shadows
We grow tall then fade away
We're vessels for a surging power
With solar fire in our veins

We're nothing more than shadows
Flares blazing in a blink of an eye
We're nothing more than shadows
Glimmers of hope against the black sky

And far upon the skies
Lies the truth within
We are shadows of the dying sun

Children of infinity
Always gazing to our past
We are dust of the stars

And I feel it in my heart
And I know it in my mind
That's all there is, ever will be

We're the dust of the stars
