1. The Lighthouse
Can you hear the wind that's rising in the night
Can you see the clouds gathering in the sky
Covering the sparkling stars
I can feel the storm that's rushing in my sails
I can feel the waves erupting like bursts of white flames
But it's too late to turn back
Deeper than the tears
Deeper than the seven seas
Darkness covers the flows
Darkness swallowed my hope
Oh, the lighthouse was shut down tonight
A storm is rising on the seven seas
Don't rely on faith or destiny
Ride the crests of the waves
And cut through the wrath of Leviathan
Can you hear the mermaids' soothing lullaby
Are you looking at her arms opening wide
Lost in the blue of her eyes
I can see the typhoon swirling in the night
I can see the lightning revealing the fear in our eyes
As we see there is no way back
Deeper than the tears
Deeper than the seven seas
Darkness covers the flows
Darkness swallowed my hope
Oh, the lighthouse was shut down tonight
A storm is rising on the seven seas
Don't rely on faith or destiny
Ride the crests of the waves
And cut through the wrath of Leviathan
2. Dancing With Lucifer
Earth, water, fire and air
Hell, heaven, destiny
God, Satan, devils, angels
Crushing our souls in their hands
Earth, water, fire and air
Hell, heaven, destiny
I met Satan in the realm of dreams tonight
He said: What do you want from me?
Eternal youth and power?
Do you want fame?
Do you want love?
Do you want eternal life?
All you need to do is to give me
A signing in your own blood
Dancing with Lucifer tonight
Is such an exalting experience
Fire is consuming my soul
Freeing me from the bonds of human kind
Too late to take me back home
Now that I've tasted the sweetness of the wine
Earth, water, fire and air
Hell, heaven, destiny
I felt the joy of his overwhelming power
He smiled at me, took my hand and closed my eyes
Are you tired of lies, are you tired of tries
Of violence and pride
Will you come with me to the edge of time?
Leave the flock of lambs behind
Dancing with Lucifer tonight
Is such an exalting experience
Fire is consuming my soul
Freeing me from the bonds of human kind
Too late to take me back home
Now that I've tasted the sweetness of the wine
I am here alone with Him
Standing on the brink of infinity
And as a drop of blood flows from my vein
I'm signing my name across the page
Memories of what was once given to me
Remotely echo in my head
So sad I can see you talking to me
But your words never reach my mind
The shadows are waiting for me
Goodbye love, goodbye family
Vade retro Lucifer
Non draco sit mihi dux
Vade retro Lucifer
Amor sit mihi lux
Vade retro Lucifer
Sunt mala quae libas
Vade retro Lucifer
Ipse venena bibas
Dancing with Lucifer tonight
Is such an exalting experience
Fire is consuming my soul
Freeing me from the bonds of human kind
Too late to take me back home
Now that I've tasted the sweetness of the wine
Vade retro Lucifer
Non draco sit mihi dux
Vade retro Lucifer
Amor sit mihi lux
Vade retro Lucifer
Sunt mala quae libas
Vade retro Lucifer
Ipse venena bibas
Dancing with Lucifer tonight
Is such an exalting experience
Fire is consuming my soul
Freeing me from the bonds of human kind
Too late to take me back home
Now that I've tasted the sweetness of the wine
3. Cassandra's Mirror
My name is Cassandra
I've been foreseeing things for as long as I can remember
I saw my parents die
But there wasn't anyone to listen to the children's tales
I saw my children die
Before I even conceived them
Don't cry, oh don't
Don't trust, your eyes
I'm damned if I tell you what is written in the stars tonight
(Talk to me, talk to me)
I'm damned if I don't try to ignore the lines of your hand
When I cannot read but sorrow and pain in your eyes
I met you once before
You were standing in the rain
Overhanging on the cliff of a distant shore
You asked me who I was
But the truth was in my eyes
And you knew it to tell well from the start
You are me and I am you
But years have been tearing us apart
Don't cry, oh don't
Don't trust, your eyes
I'm damned if I tell you what is written in the stars tonight
(Talk to me, talk to me)
I'm damned if I don't try to ignore the lines of your hand
When I cannot read but sorrow and pain in your eyes
I don't believe in you
Please stop talking to me now
I want to turn away
And be free to choose my path
I don't believe in you
Oh please now vanish from my dreams
I am just a child
And I will ignore your lies
4. On The Road To Babylon
Babel ad caelum culmen pertinet
Babel confusum est labium terrae
Babel ibi confusum est labium terrae
Babel dispersit eos Dominus
Babel l?-haut m'appelle, des?toiles plein les yeux
Babel, fiert? humaine, maudite des dieux
What are you going to do now your God betrayed us
Breaking us all down confusing our language and our souls
Scattering the People, defying him over the world
Waging war upon refugees, deaf, hopeless and blind
What are you going to do when the Tower falls down
You were so brave, so high
So close to the sky
Did you really think
You could rival with God
And not incur His wrath
But a wind of change has blown
All the pieces of this game away
The rules have changed
Let us build a new dream
From the ruins of today
On the road to Babylon
A shroud of confusion did blind us
And covered the souls of the Proud
On the road to Babylon
There's a wind of misunderstanding that blows our will away
We were building a city so strong and so high
It could even embrace the stars
What are you going to do now your God breaks down
Watching all the flocks of sheep diving right into the sea
Following their leaders and your pathetic church and ministers
Trying to canalize the deepest instincts of human kind
What are you going to do when your children wake up
On a world of fear, of war, of tears, and madness
Do you really think there's a durable way to hide
The bloodstains on your hands
But a wind of change has blown
All the pieces of this game away
The rules have changed
Let us build a new dream
From the ruins of today
On the road to Babylon
A shroud of confusion did blind us
And covered the souls of the Proud
On the road to Babylon
There's a wind of misunderstanding that blows our will away
We will build a city so strong and so high
It will even embrace the stars
5. Paper Princess
When I was a child
I used to wish that I could fly
Like a bird from tree to tree
High above the land
Spreading my wings to feel the wind of freedom
Climbing into the clouds so white and so pure
Gently caressing my feathers and soothing my soul
But they broke into my dreams
Tearing all apart
But they burnt my wings
Pulling me down
And they shouted and they howled
To teach me their lies
I am the Paper Princess
So fragile and so sad
I have been crumbled
I've been torn by their lies
So if you take my hand
And if you dive into my eyes
I'll welcome you
In my paper wonderland
When I was alone at night I used to wish that I could dance
With the flakes of winter snow flying all around
I used to play with immaculate unicorns
Riding across the grass, the fields and the streams
Waltzing with the leaves that fall down from the weeping willows
But they told me it was love
And they did it for my own good
And they said it was my fault
Hitting me down
And they shouted and they howled
Until I endlessly cried
I am the Paper Princess
So fragile and so sad
I have been crumbled
I've been torn by their lies
So if you take my hand
And if you dive into my eyes
I'll welcome you
In my paper wonderland
6. The Spider
"Trust me, open your heart to me
Trust me, feed me"
She caught your mind in a endless game
She spun her threads all around your legs
She wove her web all around your arms
She drank your blood and fed on your soul
She hid herself in the corner of your mind
She shut your eyes to the colors of the light
She's here, can't you feel her venom in your blood
She's here, can't you see the strings that tie you down
The Spider is crawling on her web
She caught your mind, she trapped your soul
You're hypnotized, cannot withdraw your eyes from her
The Spider is patiently waiting for you to fall down on your knees
You shut the door to your real friends
You closed your eyes to dodge the lies
You drank the words she poured into your mind
You lost control over your life
You thought she wanted to guide you through the night
You thought it was the path towards the light
Look down, roses' thorns have fallen to the ground
Look down, can't you see your bare feet bleeding now
The Spider is crawling on her web
She caught your mind, she trapped your soul
You're hypnotized, cannot withdraw your eyes from her
The Spider is patiently waiting for you to fall down on your knees
"Trust me, open your heart to me
Trust me, feed me"
You liked so much the sweetness of her words
You like so much the whispers of her voice
Look now, can't you see how you destroyed your life
Too late, there is no escape from the trap
The Spider is crawling on her web
She caught your mind, she trapped your soul
You're hypnotized, cannot withdraw your eyes from her
The Spider
7. The Wolves
A shroud of snow had covered the land for so long
The cold biting my flesh to the bone
The sky was dark and the sun turned to black
As I saw a shape moving in the corner of my eye
A furtive shadow was lingering over my fragile heart
Cast by the flickering glow of the moon
The devil's own eyes were staring at me
Casting a shroud of fear over my soul
I saw a wolf enter the town
Threading its way through the night
Where all the souls are blurred in a constant haze
Silently looking for its prey
And it was young, and strong and full of rage
Ready to jump on your face
And to cut out your throat
And feast on your blood
Don't live your life within the walls
Of the fortress build around your heart
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't let the wolves feed on your secret fears
If you just close your heart
If you just close your eyes
If you just let the wolves enter your world
They will devour your soul
A manic movement insidiously did grow inside the crowd
Desperately trying to find the guilty goat
Prey to their fears, men turned on men
Starting to hunt down the stranger and the lamb
I saw the wolves enter the town
Threading their way through the crowds
Where all the souls are blindly waiting for the day
They'll find some leaders to obey
And they were young and strong and full of rage
Ready to jump on your face
And to find out how far
They could feed on your fears
Don't live your life within the walls
Of the fortress build around your heart
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't let the wolves feed on your secret fears
If you just close your heart
If you just close your eyes
If you just let the wolves enter your world
They will devour your soul
Live your life
Face your trials
Do not hide yourself from the world
Leave your doubts
Leave your fears behind
8. Venom And Frustration
You were so strong, so brave and so arrogant
Young blood on the edge
Eager to prove to yourself that you were the One
Eager to fulfill old promises
Naive and full of foolish pride
Focused on proving you were right
What will remain of yourself when you lose
When you're stripped of your innocence
I saw in your eyes an endless dream
A desperate will to end the game
I saw in your eyes an endless pain
Scars lingering across your chest
Venom inside your blood
Frustration in your soul
Venom inside your blood
Resentment will never bring you love
Open your mind
Don't let your eyes be blinded by the light
Don't let it spread, don't let it poison your heart again
How many times were you told not to play the fool
Fires spread much faster than you thought
Now look around, ashes surrounding you
Remains of your childhood dreams
I thought you'd really learned by now
The treachery of wine
Acknowledge defeat, it's your only hope
And leave your pride behind
I saw in your eyes an endless dream
A desperate will to end the game
I saw in your eyes an endless pain
Wounds burning inside your flesh
Venom inside your blood
Frustration in your soul
Venom inside your blood
Resentment will never bring you love
Open your mind
Don't let your eyes be blinded by the light
Don't let it spread, don't let it poison your heart again
I saw in your eyes an endless dream
A desperate will to end the game
I saw in your eyes an endless pain
Wounds burning inside your flesh
Venom inside your blood
Frustration in your soul
Venom inside your blood
Resentment will never bring you back to life
Open your mind
Don't let your eyes be blinded by the light
Don't let it spread, don't let it poison your heart again
9. Lonely Roads
On these lonely roads I've been travelling for so long
Trying to find shelter from the pain
I've been searching for the sound and the smell
Of the rivers and the young trees
Now that it seems that I know each path
And each crossroad and each flower and each tree
I am sitting back on the ground
Looking back over my shoulder vanishing away
On these lonely roads I've been searching for so long
For the arms to keep me from flying away
From the ancient memories of old wounds that I've been
Trying to ignore then to heal
Now that it seems that I know each rose
And each of their thorns, and each color they wear
I am standing on the road again
Looking far away to the horizon
Pretending to make out an aim
Ah, will I ever find peace in my heart
Ah, will I ever find a reason to stay
Somewhere I can call my home
Far from the storms
That have been raging
Inside my heart for so long
On these lonely roads
When twilight has come down
On the desert of my soul
I've been feeling so hard
The bite and the cold
Of the winter of my life
Now that it seems
That I've known too well
The sorrows and deception and tears
I am lying down on the ground
Looking high above in the sky
The stars are waiting for me
Ah, will I ever find peace in my heart
Ah, will I ever find a reason to stay
Somewhere I can call my home
Far from the storms
That have been raging
Inside my heart for so long
10. The Foreseer
I've been raised with a blindfold over my eyes
I've been denied the right to think with my own mind
I've been listening to their nonsense and rhymes
Too young too soon too pretty to say anything right
They say:
How do you dare to speak
When you don't know the words of wisdom from the past?
How do you dare to sing
When you don't know the melody of life?
How do you dare to think
When ministers lead the holy flock of lambs?
Now do you understand what faith is all about?
Don't leave me now lost in the dark
There's a wind that constantly
Throws us all down on our knees
There are nightmares spreading darkness
In our children hearts
There's a bed of thorns that is waiting for me
Each and every night
They've been praising divine ignorance and lies
Clinging to the only hope of salvation in another life
They were telling me that I needed a guide
While they were blind and I was the one to see the light
They say:
Now will you listen
To the tiny voice in the corner of your mind?
Now will you pay attention
To what's written between the lines?
Now do you see the shadow
Patiently waiting for you behind the light?
Now do you understand the truth
Hidden beneath the lies?
Don't let the blind show you the light
There's a wind that constantly
Throws us all down on our knees
There are nightmares spreading darkness
In our children hearts
There's a bed of thorns that is waiting for me
Each and every night
Why don't you ever listen
To the words of wisdom from my mouth?
Why don't you ever pay care
About what's standing out to my own eye?
Why don't you ever have a doubt
About your old beliefs and silly signs?
Now will you dare to face
The consequences of your lies?
There's a wind that constantly
Throws us all down on our knees
There are nightmares spreading darkness
In our children hearts
There's a bed of thorns that is waiting for me
Each and every night
11. Cathedral Of The Damned
Domine, quare obdormis? Domine ne repellas in finem!
Domine, quare obdormis? Domine faciem tuam avetis!
Circumdederunt me gemitus mortis, circumdederunt me dolores inferni
Circumdederunt me gemitus mortis, circumdederunt me dolores lacrimae
There's a secret fortress in the desert
Bathed in a golden burning sun
With a crackled earth and barely a sign
Of water ever falling from the sky
Will I ever find my way
Through the riddles and the trials
Holy cathedral of the damned souls
I've been searching for a sign
Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts
I've been looking for your shrine
I've been waiting all my life for the call
Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs
Listening to the wind all around my heart
There are poisoned sources and illusions
Viciously abusing your mind
There are winged and frightened idols of marble
And men kneeling in front of their holy swords
But can't they see the blood
Still shining on their blades
But can't they hear the storm
Now rising above their heads
For we lost our souls
In the search of that illusionary shrine
Holy cathedral of the damned souls
I've been searching for a sign
Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts
I've been looking for your shrine
I've been waiting all my life for the call
Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs
Listening to the wind all around my heart
Holy cathedral of the damned ones
Where do your bells and your spires hide?
Don't blind me with your lies
Holy cathedral of the damned ones
Don't let ambition devour my heart
And my soul
Holy cathedral of the damned souls
I've been searching for a sign
Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts
I've been looking for your shrine
I've been waiting all my life for the call
Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs
Listening to the wind all around my heart
This is the last minute Cathedral
Right under my eyes
This is the last minute Cathedral
Right in my heart
This is the last minute Cathedral
Right under my eyes
With its deafening silence howling inside my heart
This is the last minute Cathedral
To light my wasted life
This is the last minute Cathedral
Turning to sand...
