1. Decibel Dance

If you take a modest look at us
You'll never see what we see
A tragedy that's still unseen
We will always do what we want to
It ain't a monophonic world
Never hear what we hear
Wartunes from a past decade
Try to dance to the sound of today

The future holds a silence yet
Do you dare take the next step?
Trapped in deaf frequencies
Better dance to the sound of today

The decibel dance demands bleeding feet
A broken neck, scarred back
Familiar voice with a decent tone
But the words we speak burn
Even more than the sun

There's a difference
Between what we say
And what you understand
In your own way

Just like you
We're not going with the flow
For the wild river
Is changing it's course
For no one knows

For ourselves and nothing more
That's what we are standing for
Don't you try to prove us wrong
This is the sound of today

The decibel dance demands bleeding feet
A broken neck, scarred back
Familiar voice with a decent tone
But the words we speak burn
Even more than the sun

Nothing exists
Until it's discovered and classified
Experience the whole as one

2. C14_Measured By Infinity

Like a white desert
Crying out her noise
I see myself diving into the hills

I'll show you my toxic void
One step behind, I live my lie
The golden decade just passed by
Will I ever seize the day?

When infinity is left beyond all borders
And neither all nor nothing is gone
Who is there to guide my hand?

'Cos mine is always clenched in a fist
When it starts again I'll keep my eyes shut

When infinity is left beyond all borders
And neither all nor nothing is gone

What should I expect to come,
When my view is so obscured?
To join the essence
To set my soul free
To break down

Into my sea of dead passions
I see myself diving into the hills
Of a white desert

I'll show you my toxic void
One step behind, I live my lie
The golden decade just passed by
Will I ever seize the day?

When divinity refused to obey my order
In the end all and nothing was gone
Who was there to guide my hand?

'Cos mine is always clenched in a fist
When it starts again I'll keep my eyes shut

What should I expect to come,
When my view is so obscured?
To join the essence
To set my soul free
To break down

4. The Alliance

Demons to some angels to other
Embrace the crimson nightwinged sea
Mortality we left behind
Pierced on a column of frozen blood

Brought forth by humble gliding fingers
We break the seal, inflame your soul
A needle waits for every pore
We can't escape this anymore

Blinded hollow eyes alone
Cast out so violently sweet
Can you see the fondling light
That howls within the veins of hell

Deities of pain we are
A chain of mortal fate
Bearing promises on skinless tongues

Deities of pain we are
A wrath you can't escape
Hearing promises but it won't change
The alliance

By chain and thorn we lead your path
Which you will crawl on bleeding knees
With fear and pain bare existence
Whatever might be left of you

Demons to some angels to other
Embrace the crimson nightwinged sea
Mortality we left behind
Pierced on a column of frozen blood

Deities of pain we are
A chain of mortal fate
Bearing promises on skinless tongues

Deities of pain we are
A wrath you can't escape
Hearing promises but it won't change
The alliance

And so eternally we lurk
In a faceless, breeding scenery
And wait for the spawn in your veins
A sore heart is to be strained

5. A Runic Rhyme

Faded words once building
So silent woeful memories
They gather their dreams so pale
In a runic rhyme

Could time tell a story of cold nights
And mystic tales
Which shone so bright

Could time tell of feelings
Which soared to heights
And fell to forlorn visions

6. Second Skin

Hide the door
There's no place beyond
Who will follow
Until all is gone

Along the floor
Of carpet flames
There lies the truth
The silent name of all

Cold eyes staring
Into my innermost fears
Shadows glaring
Into sweet oblivion
A place so black
With shades of white

A stronghold where I can hide
Where all reins of life
– fall from my grasp –
This clarion call makes me shiver in fear
– it seals my curse –

The candle fades
In a lapse of light
It flickers bright
Denying the darkness

Will it ever change?

Weak and frail
Like wilting memories
We cry for the first light
And silently die in fear

Cold eyes staring
Into my innermost fears
Shadows glaring
Into sweet oblivion
A place so black
With shades of white

Where all reins of life
– fall from my grasp –
This clarion call makes me shiver in fear

The candle fades
In a lapse of light
It flickers bright
Denying the darkness

7. Reap The Storm

Still it stands
With roots anywhere
In the soil of time
At the bottom of my life

Accursed to suffer
Obliged to pain
I'm falling deeper

Imperious and final
I'll take you with me
When I hit the ground

There's no deeper consequence
No higher destiny

We walked this path so many times
Again and again
Oh I can't deny it

There's no deeper consequence
No higher destiny

In the end
It testifies my strength
My power to sustain this suffering

Die by my hand
For the sons you've killed before
I'm the scourge of thunder
The harvester of storms

Welcome the end
In an embrace of fire

In the end
It testifies my strength
My power to sustain this suffering

Accursed to suffer
Obliged to pain
I'm falling deeper

Imperious and final
I'll take you with me
When I hit the ground

There's no deeper consequence
No higher destiny

Still it stands
With roots anywhere
In the soil of time
At the bottom of my life

We walked this path so many times
Again and again
Oh I can't deny it

There's no darker seed
No brighter fate
Than the ways of time
In the circles of hate

8. Gathered In Fear

Distant is the time
Of which I speak
Open was my heart
On that wild day

For all has come to pass away
When the haze dares the wind
And the sand the rising tide
Just a castaway in your dream
All alone we're gathered in fear

Moments so precious in their pain
They rush through my heart
I was facing the end full of fear
And it tore a part of me

(A voice said)
Welcome to the night
To grief and sorrow
Where the fire of life shines so bright
And we crave for the morning

Farewell to the light
Where oblivion reigns
The streams of time

Peer through this cold haze
While it battles this gale
Where a moment so pale
Gives a glance over this maze
A glowing spark in the night
Just a castaway in your dreams
All alone we're gathered in fear

Moments so precious in their pain
They rush through my heart
I was facing the end full of fear
And it tore a part of me

(A voice said)
Welcome to the night
To grief and sorrow
Where the fire of life shines so bright
And we crave for the morning

Farewell to the light
Where oblivion reigns
The streams of time

9. Strange Perfection

Oh this can't be me
Who's falling, who's drowning
Calling for direction
In this current of fiction

In a moment so true
Full of fading chances
When it comes to face my mind
I turn to go away

In this round of pleasure
I'm in the middle
Dazed by sorrow
Tricked by life

Stained by hate
I'm here for the fight
Creating my own right
Like fire creates the light

I'm rising to a strange perfection
– of inferior correction –
Clarity is the key to unlock the beast
– of cognition –
Fear the shades of my vision

I'm here within the lie
A slave of my own life
Societies dream failed for me
Now only the strong survive

I'm rising to a strange perfection
– of inferior correction –
Clarity is the key to unlock the beast

Stained by hate
I'm here for the taking
Creating my own right
Like fire creates the light

I'm rising to a strange perfection
– of inferior correction –
Clarity is the key to unlock the beast

Can anyone tell
On this zenith of mankind
If heaven or hell
Is just joyful thinking

11. The End Beyond Me

I'm not the one who fell
But the final aim
Of what men can find
In loss of all betrayal
In loss of all self-denial – lost sight

Suffering so essential
An existential colossus
Of will and power

Feelings so depraved
A betrayed answer to all
Of sanity and devour

Join this – You'll miss everything
Even things you didn't know
Join the shadow-ring

I'm here above
I can see you creeping
Breathing, melting in my light

Can you feel the might
Of what men can reach?
You'll miss everything

I'm not the one who fell
But the final aim
Of what men can find
In loss of all betrayal
In loss of all self-denial – lost sight

Suffering so essential
An existential colossus
Of will and power

Join this – You'll miss everything
Even things you didn't know
Join the shadow-ring

I'm here above
I can see you creeping
Breathing, melting in my light

Where are you my forlorn one
Never found, never gone
A missing part to fulfill this all
Reaching out to the end and beyond

My second face (no mirror)
I've never seen it (no reflection)
No mirror, no reflection
I beg to see it

My vision is so clear
Will I ever reach it
No mirror, no reflection
Where are you?

12. Moonlight Shadow

оригинал: Mike Oldfield

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a river last saturday night
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through

The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side.
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away

Four am in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star was light in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night
But she couldn't find how to push through

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away

I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away

Far away on the other side.

Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy but the air was alive
She couldn't find how to push through

Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side.
