Tracks



01. Forsaken

Music by Steffen Kummerer, Christian Münzner
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
Forsaken, abandoned in eternal night

We ride on cosmic wings, towards this bitter end
As choir of the fallen, we descend
Revealed in silence, merged sublime
Divined eternity, into oblivion

On astral radiating storms towards the end
A halo moulded in celestial divine
Hymn of the nocturnal
A choral of perdition, faith and belief
Salvation of fate, we are glazed in creed

In aeons, revealed in silence splendorous and bright
Forsaken - a perennial epitaph
Abandoned - a world blazed in cosmic fire eclipsed

Deliverance in shivered flesh,
Secluded, sole detached maelstrom infinite
In allegiance we preach the sermon
In eternal night, perpetual bliss, the nemesis of worlds

In aeons, revealed in silence splendorous and bright
Forsaken - a worthless entity
Dissolving - a convergent form of stars

02. Solaris

Music by Christian Münzner
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
I despise this journey through my will
Ordained to sanctify
I devour their dismay
As an astral parasite, decreed to purify

We are the damned and isolated
In solitude disengaged
We are conjured and segregated
In abeyance transcended

I am the fallen shining star
An evoked blazing scar

We derived in solitude
The usurper omniscient in vale
Sere еncrusted we collude
And nauseated we descend in faith

I remind, recall their bitter afterglow
Illusions and visions designed
Their eagerness seduced, neurotic fears entranced
Their power of volition deranged

I condemn, comprehend and will deny
Redeem and dignify
I am entranced in scattering light
Divined and reunite

We condemn our fate

03. A Valediction

Music by Steffen Kummerer, Christian Münzner
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
Within our lives, through our persistency,
Beyond this journey, and continuity
I perceived decay, as an act of volition,
In vain endeavor, abandoned in despair

A last farewell, in bright nightshade,
When we depart, so pale and fade

Within our lives, though all perseverance,
Beyond this odyssey, and pursuance
I perceived decay, as an act of volition,
In vain endeavor, abandoned in despair

A last goodbye, beneath the wraith,
Our vows refinеd in vanished faith

We abide in pitch black mass,
Dеliverance, released in distress

We leave this world and tear apart
We refine in profound bliss,
Redemption, the universe's final kiss

04. When Stars Collide

Music by Christian Münzner
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
Throughout there is no faith, now let us embrace and part
You embark into the cosmic sea
And I am glad, yes glad with all my heart
Eternally, I live free

At our final journey, we cancel all our vows
When we will meet in aeons once again
If only vanity and illusion allow
Once more I will sustain and retain

A last goodbye, we blaze divine
When stars collide, I survive
An endless void, in eternal night
With sacred wings of formless light

Throughout there is no hope, we fear in silent wrath,
You pursue the left-hand path
With my will resigned, my passion speechless lies
You disappeared, ablaze the skies

Beyond the stars and endless skies
As a shade you will pass by
I hear you say goodbye

My faith is kneeling, remaining in disguise,
While primal innocence is closing-up your eyes

05. In Unity

Music by Christian Münzner, Steffen Kummerer
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
Voiceless demise
We disperse in grief and pain

Gone our past, forgotten, vanished at last
Relieved, appeased in faith
Our stars align, septic, fouled divine
As fatalist, as nihilist I disappear

Arise, condemn, and liberate our might
Conjure eternal sight
Alive and vivid we evoke eternal light
Infinity, heavenly and bright

In unity, in sanctity evolved unbound
In purity, in decency emerged profound

In an age of enlightenment, our final confession made
A spiritual odyssey, this eternal journey begun

We leave, we leave this shattered earth
In misery, we forsake this forlorn place
We leave, we leave this perished world
In agony, we resign and fall from grace

06. Devoured Usurper

Music by Christian Münzner
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
A devoured usurper repents
His confession to survive
Entranced betrayer, eviscerated and immured
The progeny of traitors just ends

I overcome distress and
I can confess
I defeat emptiness
And refuse despair, in misery I swear
I will not suppress and
I will repossess
I won't regress
Inflamed, this universe

An enslaved perception descends
In shattered pieces paralyzed

In his holiness a coward sanctifies
As a false pretender, an odious hypocrite

A faithless deceiver, annihilated and deceased
In treachery their silence amends

As dissembler, arrant liar, unfold

I obtain, and I prevail
I recreate, and I dominate
I pervade, and I control
I radiate and enshrine your rotting soul

07. The Beyond

Music by Christian Münzner
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
Their heir apparent with a shining crown
In reviled disgrace, our gods dethroned
I confess my guilt, with volition I will drown
My grief profound, in oblivion intoned

Farewell, beyond this heaven and hell
Farewell, where your lies and remains will dwell

In eternal wisdom, they are blessed with fate
In mere dishonor, since annihilated
I perceived distress, my perseverancе dissipates
Embraced in triumph, resplеndence divined

08. Orbital Elements II

Music by Steffen Kummerer, Christian Münzner, Jeroen Paul Thesseling
[Instrumental]

09. The Neuromancer

Music by Christian Münzner
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
I ought to go, in wisdom you will rot,
In delusive prudence sought
I strove towards untold, in cognition I behold
Lost in reverie, mesmerized I drown

Unsealed, adopted creed despoiled
In vain revealed, raised fear unsoiled

Neuromancer, obsessed unseen remote controlled

We are addicted, overdosed in creed
Our freedom of faith, worthless conscience
And meaningless greed

We are thе sainted ones,
The failеd survivors, paced into abyss

I need to leave, in rigor consciousness,
In deceptive freedom of thought
I vowed to comprehend,
In gnosis I ascend
The final elegy, entranced I disappear

10. In Adversity

Music by Christian Münzner
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
Maelstrom calls and I will fade away
Our hopes dissolve in human clay
When tribulation scores and your beliefs escape
My faith will dwell in eclectic shape

Above the sky, beyond the stars
Just let me fly, embraced with scars
Into the void, with fire faith destroyed,
The dying of the light, in pale dismal night

We are the damned, we are enslaved
We are the cursed, enforced in vain
We are the doomed, we are constrained
We are the spoiled, in grief and pain

My downfall calls, and I pursue my way
We stay the course in slow decay
When adversity occurs and your eyes ablaze
My wish remained in confusing maze

11. Heritage

Music & lyrics by Steffen Kummerer
Within demise, I rise and fall,
In profound abysm, I surrender
Down and below, I dwell in rapture
Shrouded in misery until I fade

I fall from grace - I drown in black
I ascend in light - In mourning
As a solar eclipse

Under the sky, an embittered last goodbye
A withered spark of life, bemused in inner strife
Above and below, I drowned in gloom
An everlasting bloom, the final dawn of inner strife

An immersed enigma, has come to pass,
Engrossed contender, a pitch-black mass
Consumed by twilight, emerging blackness
Veiled in agony, herewith I fade

An elegy, in dignity,
An ode to the gone, the dawn of inner strife

In spiritual abyss, a burden of untold
Devoured, dissolved, in esperance unfold

When we will pass, for once and for all,
This mortal form of grief, in mourning we shall fall
