Tracks



01. The Lake

Silently gazing at myself in the mirror of truth
Where memories and destinies dwells

Dried rivers crosing my reflection
Scars so deep in flesh and soul
I see that dark stain in my eye
The one that won't go away
What could have hurt me so bad

I remeber the lake
The lake of my youth
I wrote your name in the water
To forgive and to forget
A glimpse of light eternally

Santuary, a sacred place
Where the children are like clay
Salvation dwells in blue eyes
Insomnia, in a silent dress

White wizards and red demons
Offsprings finally putting me to sleep

Shut the door of evolution
The journey ahead
It scares me immensely
Escalating years

Please let me direct the end
Accelerating scenes around me

Returning to the lake of youth
Again it makes me feel so calm
The namein the water is long since gone
Finally I yearn for old grayness
All the lake, fear no more

02. Black Hours

Endless plains of grey
Coldness sweeps my soul
All lies in
Silence
Far below
The starry sky

A forlorn journey
On a path to nowhere
From where
Have I come ?
Is this all
There will be ?

My memories
Are leaving scars
Please lift this pain
Off from my heart

Desperate hours of black
With this pain devouring
All my strength
To go on
All my will
To exist

My memories
Are leaving scars
Please lift this pain
Off from my heart

03. Born From Shadows

"At last ! The saviour is here !
Brought forth from the western darkness
Our hope ! For the peace we sought
For so long, will it finally come ?

The black cyclone will engulf
The world and leave nothing behind
The end of our suffering, our pain
Release us from this earthbound tomb"

Deep in the ground, hidden from their eyes
The living will envy the dead
Who have found peace, in the beyond
Eternal rest for the soul

The harvest moon, ominous gaze
From blackened sky, all-seeing eye
Fills man's weak heart, with fear and with woe
Shivering souls, imminent doom

Clear as the ice, the moonstone glows
Creator of life, bringer of hope
Bright as the sun, with fire inside
Born from shadows, tool of the end

The time will come
The end is at hand
The two will clash
And bring forth the dark
Night of all nights
Endless peril and loss
The time will come
For the world to fall

Wielding the staff of death and (the) dark
Relentless bringer of the end
Sacrifice in blood, for the red stone
To bring, destruction to all

Silence spreads over the cold plains
Cold winds blow through the trees
The time for th twins to become one
The call of destiny is upon us

Slowly
The end draws nearer
Ina flash of light
All fades to black

04. Come To Me

Eventide, at last, is here
Close my eyes and greet its presence
I can feel the void that feeds
On my sanity, on my mind
My flesh... and soul

Oh, this pain, it stains my world
Blinds my eyes, cloaks my reality,
Leaving nothing but a bleak shadow
Of what once was
No more... all gone

My scars the speak to me
Memories carved into my weak flesh

Come to me
Darkness
Set me free
Emptiness

Restless nights and empty eyes
Ridden with nightmares, night and day
The abyss within my soul
Sovast, overwhelming, consuming
My past... future

Come to me
Darkness
Set me free
Emptiness
Speak to me
Silence
Set me free
Nothingness

05. My Angel

Strengthened by my rest my uninvited guest
Just like an insect which is feasting on my spine

Somewhere inside my plague decides to hide
Twisting all my bones until they turn to stone

My angel, please give me strength
I dream of you, I'll wait for you
All my secrets that I have kept inside
Will come to the surface when you arrive

Turning around to see my fires burn
One fragile glance to see my past
Soon my bones lie pale and white

Hidding in my deepest corner
Where all my secrets dwell

Now I look at you
It makes me feel so fine
You're healing me in vain
There is no cure for me

My angel you gave me strength
An exploding star embraces my soul
All my secrets that I have kept inside
Seems so futile now when you are here

Turning around to see my fires burn
One fragile glance to see my past
Soon my bones lie pale and white

06. Condemned

A rose dark as coal
Born in the wrong shape in a world so fierce
Exposed with no voice
Innocence is lost
Her will tears her down
She will not crawl down in shame

One way adultery will be her misery
Corruption steals her hope within the court of men
Treated like an under aged with no escape from fate
Waiting for Gof's call from the court of men

The verdict black and cold
The stones will kill her soul
And heal the shame she brought upon her flesh and blood
Half buried in the sand with her shackled arms
The mindless horde of men are screaming out God's name

The black rose chained down
Asking why she was betrayed
Her own blood took her soul
Tears disappear in the sand of death

Religious abuse
No expressions
Waiting for the sign
The sign of innocence
The audience is blind
Before the black rose
Dressed in while
Betrayal of blood

Blood loses its meaning
Fear of helplessness
The bloodstone is worst
Gives pain to the heart
Please end this suffering
The face goes numb
Embracing stones at last
Welcoming her demise

She whispers like a mantra
How could you do this to me ?

The black rose chained down
Asking why she was betrayed
Her own blood took her soul
Tears disappear in the sand of death
She whispers like a mantra
How could you do this to me ?

07. When All Is Black

When I am all alone
When all is black
I lay myself down
When all is black

I slowly close my eyes
When all is black
And prepare myself to die
When all is black
