1. Project: Daybreak

A dainty figure in the morning mist
"Bide your time and hold out hope"
She whispered, "or set your heart at rest
For it is a foolish heart I leave behind"

For all that once was is now gone
Whereverat this sleeper may lie
Sweetly to decease and be torn asunder
To bewail your loss in these nights

The hauntings of a wayward day
Shall never follow you on your way
For you to leave this, your bitter trail
I sought you, may this delight prevail
Our hearts filled with fright as we run
from the hideous presence of the sun
The hauntings of a wayward day
Shall never follow you on your way

Her mighty harbinger, a morning star
at the van of day, leaves no enmity no contempt

The first gleam of sunlight illuminates the sky
So with reluctant dread I hide from the vivid light
Aweary of the outset's first sentinel
I cringe away in deepest despair

The moon looks upon my departure with a watery eye
Wanton winds accompany me on my long way home
As I hear the dawn's yearning call
I bid farewell to you all

2. Ever After

I found a place to call home
My sanctuary in a world succumbing to grief
A gleam of hope, like ivy embrace me
And don't let me go

My gardens bare trees now flourish again
The shadows they cast hide me away
From bale's burning light
Safely entwined I hide until night

Be gone parching sun
To the twilight that you came from
Be gone, away
Darken this idle day

Blessed by nights serenity
I will rise
From the ashes of a burned down life
Burned down life

I smother every smoldering fire
That threatens the orchards bloom
Upon the oath I took
I forever will take what is mine

They say I fade into shades without a trace
A nocturnal child
Veiled and obscure, a myth yet uncovered
Don't you dare light my way

"And then led astray he went away
To never return
But in his heart he carried the hope of his dreams
What may he have become?"

3. End Of Transmission

Another doleful day is dawning
Again your pillow is soaked with tears
And yet you have to realize why
Your life turned out to be this way

Lying awake in your darkest hour
All alone you pity yourself
The question still remains in your head
A proof for your glorious self-treachery

You're drowning in the depth of your heart
Descending into the darkness below
I'm following my ardent longing to be free
Ascending into the heavens above

You never were brave enough to save yourself
Because every victory holds the seed for another defeat
So you just gave up the fight

There has been mere break of faith
No deliverance from your dreadful sins
For you have lost the freedom you once had

At solitary times when the flickering static is your only friend
You wish you had chased all those dreams you had along the way

A thousand lights fade every day
No one takes notice
But I will make my way to the horizon
For I will not fade away

If a single star perishes in the night
No, no one will mourn
But I will fight for my trueborn liberty
For I will not go down

4. On Second Thought

Like blindfolded, we're still unaware
This elucidation still elided
Unpercieved, deriving from us
Derision arises in dissimulation

No ray of light in the distance
A movement without a sound
Shifting thoughts in your head
Breaking down your static sense

Open your eyes, hold your breath
Truth like a distancing effect
On second thought this dream will end
Our postmodern world expiring today

Outrun by an incomplete social malfunction
Soon to negate our imaginary wisdom
The shortest distance is none
Falling earthwards, intraday deriliction

Not confined onto the smallest matter of mind
A single thought not to be deprived
Now you yourself are becoming a deity
The next step is done, a new era befalling

Rapidly disintegrate...

6. The Great Escape

See the sadness in their eyes
Searching for a spark to ignite the flame

See your reflection in their eyes
For we are nothing but the same
Pictures of a transitory state hidden deep within
Something we have lost not too long ago
No recollection of our former destination

To temper justice with mercy is to let the weakness prevail
In a world where nothing is sacred, in darker times and in search for the truth

The foreclosure of human nature
Binding us all in despair
Shall no longer take hold of us
For it is beyond a mortal's share

Beyond the margins of this stern society
We rediscover remnants of our lives
Venturing out on the sky beneath our feet
The will is set only death may break it

So let's take a part of the world and make it our own
Just you and I
Lost in delusions of grandeur, a thought so bittersweet
Light the beacon and lead the way
Just you and I
Just you and I

7. Urban Panorama

The vast neon outshines the sky
For every earthborn light a star shall perish
These endless streets are burning bright
Origin of savage apparitions

Amongst the nightly cityscapes
Where we reign, urban panorama

Centuries of constant motion
In a city that never sleeps
Vanishing in the crowd
We disappear from your reach

Find your solace in the countless alleyways
Shimmering districts of a radiant utopia
Vibrant crossroads at the pulse of time
Prevalence of sheer beauty so divine

Rain clouds dissembling the sky
The smell of burning concrete in the air
In slow motion faces waving across our way
A never ending flow beyond the means

Listening to the heartbeat of a time
Traffic lights setting the rapid pace
Captivating surges of sound
Evoking this sudden revelation

Overwhelmed by the scenery sublime
Drifting through the perpetuating nights
Monumental disorder in perfect symmetry
As we're joining the dreamlike midnight carnival

At the end of our journey
As we're stepping into the limelight
Umeda Panorama

8. Sorae

Reignite the sky
And outshine the stars
The end of repentance has come
So let us travel to a new world
Into the incandescent everbright

We are children born of a abhorrent civilization laid to waste
No, We will not stay here
For we shall not bear our forefathers' loss

This is our requiem to darksome days
Our epitaph to misery
So let us forsake these lands' sullen shores
The sky is ours and forever will be

Down heartened souls
Haunt these timeworn cityscapes
But I sense a spark of hope
Whilst we stand with dignity

Illuminate the path that leads away from here
Finally the reign of light may come

Reignite our sleeping sun
The nova of a star yet gone
New faith found with a god in each of us

Follow the celestial guide
Into endless fields of light
Towards a sun shining for each of us

9. Vagrant Story

Waking up on a moonlight meadow at night
A gentle breeze blowing like autumns first breath
Stumbling through the murk I explore the shades
Leaving all the past anxieties far behind....

The celestial stars are shifting
As the grass starts to sway in the wind
Branches silently groaning around me
I'm standing in misery and woe

The rising haze...
Takes away my bitter cloak of mourning
And so my will to live had died
Becoming a lone wayfarer, never to return

A fate condemned into the dark
Amongst the shadows I wander
Where only candles light my way
Throughout these endless fields of forsaken souls

Watch the lonely candle's flame burning out
Still even in deepest despair there's a spark of hope
I'm all alone seeing my veneration subside
Where solemn faces are edged upon hallowed soil

The rising haze...
Takes away my bitter cloak of mourning
And so I became one with the wind
A wanderer seeking solace in the faraway

I hear the spirits dance around my memories in black
Laughing at my despair and tears
Carried away by the stormy gale
To fall like rain on distant shores

The rising haze...
Takes away my bitter cloak of mourning

And so I am telling you this vagrant story

Of a restless soul unbound and free

10. Sundown Serenade

Pictures of a floating world in front of the inward eye
On the verge of a quiet night I head towards the coast
The remembrance of all that I have to leave behind
Aside the mighty shorelines where I now reside

I sense a sudden disruption in the stream of consciousness
Amidst the crashing waves while I stare into the setting sun

Bring salvation to what is me, feeble and lonely
Let duskfall embrace this day, set the sea ablaze

Once lost within the dark chamber that was my heart
I will open a passage to uncharted frontiers
Longwinded change of cognition in the blink of an eye
Leaving the calamity far behind I wade beyond the surge

The pathway to deliverance lies ahead
As the night settles in

Wandering off into the afar I can hear her voice in the distance
Calling out my name
