1. My Fortress

Is it real
What I feel
Bleed from my heart
Tearing all apart
Was it I who cut my soul
Believing I'd be free
Free from my mind

If my heart is telling the truth
Oh – now what would it lie?
But I just can see

How long have I been asleep in your desperate arms?
How long has this all around me been dreams?
How long have I been trying to survive
Knowing I'll die
With you in my arms

Is it blood
Running through these veins
I feel I'm burning
Turning back again
Was it you who cut my soul
Believing you'd be free
Free forevermore

My heart is telling the truth
(There's no such thing as the truth)
No! It can never lie
And now I see

2. Steal Away The Light

Rushing through the woods again
I hope this night will never end

Never mind the shouts and screams
They cannot break into our dreams

I was not prepared to move this fast
A race against the light

Running to you again
Why? I don't understand
'Cuz my heart's never missed
A single beat for love
Oh but I – I still try to steal away the light

In the shadows with a desperate glare
I felt a thousand heartbeats pierce the air

I have made a choice to have no fear
But now it feels like more than I can bear

If I burn all the bridges down
If I turn all waters to sand
I'll still find a way

Running to you again
Why? I don't understand
'Cuz my heart's never missed
A single beat for love
Oh but I – I still try to steal away the light

Burn the bridge to the ground
Cast your fears away
Turn the waters to sand
Let night swallow the day
And so I – I will try to steal away the light

3. The Sentinel

Darkness came in persuasive ways
All safe and clam beneath the thick
Laughing sound
On shifting ground

Oh – the stars have deceived me
I can't go back
We're past point of reason
Can you still see me?

You're the one who always hear me when I call
You're the one who always catch me where I fall
Blinded and bound – I'm still awaiting to be found

Darkness came and turned (all) colors pale
Caught me in a soothing veil
Until I broke
In one final choke

Oh – I can see a new dawn
But no one's ahead
We're past point of reason
The stars have deceived me

You're the one who always hear me when I call
You're the one who always catch me where I fall
When darkness descends – can you still see me?

You're the strength when the worlds are colliding
You're the scream when my breaking heart's crying
Blinded and bound – I'm still awaiting to be found

4. Breathless

Calm
Like the deepest sea
Gently rolling
An anthem to the lost, a message to believers

But it's always hard
To see lights slowly fading
Where your sound once ruled, a whispered memory lasts

I know you feel that it's not fair
That I'm the one who got left here
Nothing will change, but nothing will stay just the same
I know you think
You know the name
Of this game we are playing
We'll meet again but thing's won't be the same
So I ask of you to

Forgive me
But I can't remember
How I used to love you
How I used to care

Believe me
I wish I could take your tears
Cast away the heartache
Start over new

Strange
How everything I know
Suddenly change
This mirror to my soul
Have lost all its reflection

Time will change the wounds
Like waves across the shoreline
A never-ending trial between the heart and (the) mind

I know you feel that it's not fair
That I'm the one who got left here
Nothing will change, but nothing will stay just the same
I know you think
You know the name
Of this game we are playing
We'll meet again but thing's won't be the same
So I ask of you to

Forgive me
But I can't remember
How I used to love you
How I used to care

Believe me
I wish I could take your tears
Cast away the heartache
Start over new

5. Departure

Her story was strong
But when she let go
There was no sound, nothing was changed

But in the farthest distance
Where night falls to day
One star could but linger
To make sure not all would forget

The world will turn a thousand times more
Waves will rise but not all will reach (the) shore

Forever in your heart
You'll hear the beating sound of dreams
The echo in your sleep
That keeps you on your feet

Falling skies or shooting stars
Can never take from you
All you know as true
It always will shine through

Hours turned into the past
But for the stars time stopped
The echo of her
Gave the fairest sound

The richest of souls in (the) weakest of hosts
Or the strongest of hearts who still fall apart
Will always find love among the brightest of stars
And never be gone
When they let go

The world will turn a thousand times more
Waves will rise but not all will reach (the) shore

Forever in your heart
You'll hear the beating sound of dreams
The echo in your sleep
That keeps you on your feet

Falling skies or shooting stars
Can never take from you
All you know as true
It always will shine through

6. The Heart's Dominion

Burn – all that used to be
The memories of me
Crawling through fields of thorns

Flames – the mercy of the flames
That merciless will change
This rotten hand I've been dealt

In my heart there's no doubt
There's only one way out

I remember, bold pretender
Wrestling in the dark
The fuel of life cuts like a knife
To all but you
So I surrender to my Contender
And (I) leave this field
When there no rules we'll all be fools
Left on our own

Lights – brighter than the sun
Always made me run
From demons not of my mind

Falling to my knees again
'Cuz I cannot pretend
That I do not see the thief
Who claims this wealth

Prove to me your lies
And justify the cries
But in my mind there's no doubt
There's only one way out

I remember, bold pretender
Wrestling in the dark
The fuel of life cuts like a knife
To all but you
So I surrender to my Contender
And (I) leave this field
When there no rules we'll all be fools
Left on our own

7. As I Call

I have reached the final door
At the end of this hall
I'll turn the key and hope to see
New horizons

To leave behind a lifelong song
To search again where I belong
Can I have it all if I stay strong
In silent waters?

The more I scream into darkness
The more I must realize
The safety of your embrace
I must leave behind

As I call your name
All I hear is the sound of my voice
And nothing can save me from myself
If I never yield
Will I find my own grace
And will I
(will I) find the strength to save myself?

The road will lead a million ways
And the truth (will) take million shapes
The perfect fate's but mine to make
Through darkest hour

Charted lands have crashed and burned
Uncharted paths have made you learn
To never trust, but keep the faith
In silver linings

The more I scream into darkness
The more I must realize
The safety of your embrace
I must leave behind

As I call your name
All I hear is the sound of my voice
And nothing can save me from myself
If I never yield
Will I find my own grace
And will I
(will I) find the strength to save myself?

8. Relentless

The air felt like razor-sharp blades
The ground white with shards of glass
A fire within flared through my skin
Opened (up) my eyes to find you

With my soul aflame I searched you
A fever beyond control
A fortress pf rage – Emotional cage
Infernal reason

No one waits ahead
No one walks behind
Though my throat is dry I know I'll find
The echoed light

Relentless is my fight for you
My only cause that is true
Let the Spark inside ignite

Always changing through time
But always burns in this heart of mine
The echoed light

No trust was ever broken
No promise was ever made
Contempt and demise the Pure Heart defied
So I could feel you

Inside the corrupted heartbeat
I got convinced to break
And so I released the one hope I'd seized
And set my soul in limbo

No ghost of (the) past
No future crown to claim
Through the fires I know I will find
The echoed light

Relentless is my fight for you
My only cause that is true
Let the Spark inside ignite

Always changing through time
But always burns in this heart of mine
The echoed light

9. The Sphere

A twisted soul in endless search
Navigates by echoed star maps
Deep within he knows the words

A twisted heart in need of love
Don't understand where the truth lies
Deep within she knows the words

One heartbeat – (will) show you which way to go
To reach what your soul already knows

Can you feel me – like I feel you
A heartbeat where the sound of my soul
shines through
There is no right – there is no wrong
In this sphere where the sound of my soul is born

A twisted mind, lost and blind
Never asks but always wonder
Death changes everything

Grace your heart with thousand songs
Make sure they are all to remember
Is there still hope for us?

One heartbeat – (will) show you which way to go
To reach what your soul already knows

Can you feel me – like I feel you
A heartbeat where the sound of my soul
shines through
There is no right – there is no wrong
In this sphere where the sound of my soul is born

10. Remedy

Slowly
She let him tear her heart a million ways
Would there be a remedy?

At some point
They would agree to leave the past behind
She would forgive, he would forget

The words will slowly fade
But not the damage done
Though darkness leaves you blind
What you search can be found
Building walls to challenge fate
But if that's all that you make
No one will hear you when you try to break through

Look at me – say I'm alright
Tell me I was right to fight
I swear to you there was no other way
I keep searching for that spark
Alone I'm stumbling in the dark
Though the ground feels weak it will carry you the same

And so
She kept repeating: "It's for the greater good. It's just all misunderstood"

One day
In silent words she could not understand
She would find
Her remedy

The words will slowly fade
But not the damage done
Though darkness leaves you blind
What you search can be found
Building walls to challenge fate
But if that's all that you make
No one will hear you when you try to break through

Look at me – say I'm alright
Tell me I was right to fight
I swear to you there was no other way
I keep searching for that spark
Alone I'm stumbling in the dark
Though the ground feels weak it will carry you the same

11. Storyteller

Please won't you tell a story?
About something extraordinary
I won't interrupt, I'll pay close attention

But make sure it is exciting
With passion and rivals fighting
But most of all; make a happy ending

I need to believe in
Something transcending
Daydreams – when the lights go out

Hold my hand as my heart burst in the night
Blessed are the believers

In the dark she gathered pieces of her heart
In the light she kept them out of sight
All along she asked why she wasn't worth a fight

And the truth she knew still could not be proved
So the lies still reigned in disguise
And all along she asked why
Love wasn't worth a fight
Was it worth her fight?

Can I close my eyes now?
So I can perfectly see how
The magic appears and takes darkness from this place

Maybe then I can learn
How to make them all burn
These stories of old, so I can write new ones

I need to believe in
Something transcending
Daydreams – when the lights go out

Hold my hand as my heart burst in the night
Blessed are the believers

In the dark she gathered pieces of her heart
In the light she kept them out of sight
All along she asked why she wasn't worth a fight

And the truth she knew still could not be proved
So the lies still reigned in disguise
And all along she asked why
Love wasn't worth a fight
Was it worth her fight?

12. Virgin Ground

The air is not the same
Somehow more quiet now
The colors have no flare
A feeling I can't compare
Like flames without heat

One moment
That stole us
Like children we believed

Always the pure of heart
Always the strongest part
Always hope will be found
Reclaim our virgin ground

Stronger day by day
Questions that we feared to ask
Our hearts cut wide open
Lost in the deepest ocean
Do we dare remain brave?
