1. Mother of Stars
Another soul joined the stars tonight
your spirit is coming home
Another light shines through the endless night
So far from home, yet not alone
Another day, another restless fight
I feel so lost since you are gone
A mother's light shines so bright tonight
One last message to your son
Another day and I will take the fight
I have to do what must be done
Oh mother, please come down tonight
to guide your son, to see what I've become!
Your flame – still burns within my eyes
Your voice – still speaks to our minds
Your name – we honor for eternity
Your words – your word shall be thy legacy to me!
2. An Unforgiving Tide
ruthless and wild
a messenger of a long gone time
restless in it's mind
a nameless and faceless paradigm
a witness of our crimes
enraged by the days full of savage lies
can't you see the threatening signs?
will you conceal what you feel while you kneel
at the end of your times?
forcefull and cold
wave after wave built a thousandfold
where powers of old
channeled their energies yet unknown
but why
was it so hard to see?
that i am the source of the storm,
that comes over me?
that i am the key
i failed to see
beyond the walls around me
i missed to walk another way
i failed to free
the man i always meant to be
a man who slowly fades away
day by day
reckless and strong
the verdict of nature has proved us wrong
here where i belong
the waters of old still sing their songs
we are not here to rule the world!
so many lessons yet to be learned!
how could we claim
so much of what was never ours?
why do we aim
for so much more than lies within our powers?
it is too late to choose my side
i'll face my fate and will not fight
this unforgiving tide
3. perpetual twilight
it's hard to speak
my words turned cold and hollow
the dark revealed
a truth so hard to swallow
it's hard to believe
that i would find tomorrow
it's so hard to feel,
to open up and face my sorrow
it's time to leave
my ego far behind
it's time to leave
to chase the devil i may find!
chained by my own sense of justice
restrained by my inner collapse
i remained in a state of paralysis
allowed hours and days to elapse
sheer endless twilight engulfed my mind
imprisioned from inside
my restless heart yet failed to find
a path back into the light
no smell, no taste, no soothing sounds
no colors have survived
deaf and blind in bleak surrounds,
i am barely alive
take what's left of skin and bone
my shell may feed the flames
release my soul into realms unknown
beyond these shattered frames
take what's left of blood and flesh
while thought and mind abide
my pain and fear reduced to ash
oh, see my spirit fly
it's hard to speak
my words turned cold and hollow
the dark revealed
a truth so hard to swallow
it's hard to believe
that i would find tomorrow
it's so hard to feel,
to open up and face my sorrow
4. heart to beat
my heart lost its beat, has lost its sound
long before i found you
a heart in defeat gets lost and drowns
while nothingness surrounds you
my heart lost its beat, has lost its sound
until the day i found you
our hearts in defeat get lost and drown
an emptiness surrounds us all
where fires in our eyes once burned so bright
darkness has engulfed me
where fires in our hearts shone through the night
no light survived to guide me
where fires in our eyes once burned so bright
hope has failed to find me
where fires in our hearts shone through the night
this emptiness surrounds us all
desires in your eyes returned to life
new energies surround you
the fires in our eyes shine bright tonight
a breath of life surrounds you
desires in your eyes returned to life
pure energy surrounds you
the fires in our eyes shine bright tonight
shining bright through you!
5. awakening
regressed to the essence of being
returned to the roots of my life
i'm distressed by the weight of the feeling
of finding myself so alive
wild appears my passioned soul
driven from within
since i left behind my sins of old,
the man i once have been
strong appears my will to leave
the darkness i called home
to leave behind my memories
the madness i have known
deep beneath my flesh and skin
below what meets the eye
my former self will dwell within
rejected and denied
i regressed to the essence of being
returned to the roots of it all
i'm reborn, recovered and released
from the curse of my downfall
wild appears my passioned soul
driven from within
since i left behind my sins of old,
the man i once have been
strong appears my will to leave
the darkness i called home
to leave behind all memories
the madness i have known
afraid to die
in a cold world
i closed my eyes towards the truth
i lived a lie
full of cold words
i had to die to start anew
6. riverchild
dear riverchild
can you hear my song tonight?
come, oh riverchild
lead me to the other side
don't let me drown
please don't let me down
oh dear old friend
i'll meet you at the end of time
in quest for spiritual guidance
driven by an urge for silence
a restless sheer endless chase
found it's end once i found this place
while the last rays
of a dying sun
extinguished in illustrious gloss
pale reflections
of my dearest ones
displayed a scenery of painfull loss
unaware of what has called on me
i could not process your sudden advent
i felt no fear, no mournful sorrow
as my quest has come to an end
cought in spectral twilight
neither dead nor alive
roaming under moonlight
your whispers lurking through the night
devoid of fear
detached from the weight of iniquity
my void grew dear
under the doctrines of thy ubiquity
these celestial lectures
performed through the sounds of the night
confidential adventures
transformed my nature, led me back into the light
7. among shadows
denied by the mercy of time
detached from the fires of a loving home
disrooted, rejected, alone
among the shadows i may roam
betrayed by the promise of death
led astray by the words of a liar's breath
benighted, forgotten, unknown
among the shadows i may roam
i am the noise
within the void
in times of pain and violence
i am the voice
out of the void
in times of painful silence
my mind trapped in cycles of old memories
my soul imprisioned and in chains
my heart lost in neverending misery
fueled by poison still running through my veins
my hope for salvation
died with the death of my name
my mind trapped in cycles of old memories
my soul imprisioned and in chains
my heart used to neverending tragedy
i am the faceless result of your tasteless old games
8. a cosmic truth
harsh appears the dance
between the flames and the wind
interwoven oppositions interact
calmly narrates the fire,
silent paintings in the dark
glowing tales across the skies in a timeless act
once a mind perceives
beyond our senses
dimensions fall apart
in trance-like silent conversation
flames speak to my burning heart
where minds believe
beyond our senses
realities collide
wisdom lost it's definition
where men once lost their pride
we're burning stars
about to fade out
like paling scars
about to fade away
just dying stars
on our way out
unaware
of our final days
harsh appears the dance
between the flames and my mind
interwoven oppositions interact
calmly narrates the fire,
silent paintings in the dark
