Lost Horizon - A Flame To The Ground Beneath lyrics



Tracks



02. Pure

On virgin soil serpents are born
Blind are their eyes, blind is their bane
Feigned happiness real is as death
Hypocrites' plague infects the mind of man

There is that fear like a curse extending in veins
There is that torment that impairs thee
Roving in shadows, yet with flame that glows in my heart
There on my way all alone, so alone, not alone

Only with eyes of a pure heart
Maybe some day you can see me
Faith be your guide when the sorrow encircles your self

Walking the path of a pure heart
Maybe someday you can meet me
Faith be your shine if the anguish eclipses your sight

Under the skin innocence breathes
Inherent grace, free from this waste
Insight and pain, sacred romance
Freedom not greed, a doubtless choice for me to make

There is a pureness that so real reveals in my dreams
There is a beauty that I long for
Covered by shadows, yet it's there so close in my sight
Waiting till shades are gone, waiting till shades are gone

Hailed shall be the ones who see what others can not
For no assumption I will waste my reason
The promised lands of sands are raised and troths build on tales
From heights I now behold the circus' credo

03. Lost In The Depths Of Me

Down in the ashes wounded I crawl
Pray shall I not, god is gone

Lonely but mighty, insight's my home
Into that shine now and again I will go

Stars gleam on my way, darkness chants for me
Into the depth I can see

Frozen but conscious, spirit is my warmth
Wings of true will are carrying me through this world

But the world still is drowned in ecstasy
Of the fate and the myth of gods
But I doubt there's a journey planned for me
As I own every moment of my life

And the blessed they shall call it blasphemy
But I know what I think is right
Still the sun and the stars will shine for me
For the pure I will fight, for no kings I will die, for my thoughts I will live

Rambling in pain, drowning is sorrow, burning in hate
Why all this grief? Chains not on me, I'm not a chosen one

Fate for the mortals, eyes for the searching ones
Don't dare you pray for me
When the faith is gone, lost in the depths of me

Lost in the depths of me

For the mind of the world I share my eyes
Truths' arms embrace these words
All the ones who lost their hope
Look deep in your ego, you'll find it there

For the mind of the world I share my breath
In mystic empathy
From the awe I healed my heart, and now as I tell this
I don't fear no more

04. Again Will The Fire Burn

Voices like wind
Wordless their whispers
I hear them

Wandering alone, strayed form the path
Lost in the gales of despair

I see the shades wasting their last dreams
Hiding their woes just for themselves
Only with fear as remains

Yet free you always can be
And dreams like ravens return
Some minds like diamonds survive
Again will the fire burn

Strain in the air
Like crystal bells
Now listen

Deep in your mind search once again
Magical essence is there.

I brought my flame back from the shadows
Lost in the cold darks of this world
Will is the power I hail

06. Cry Of A Restless Soul

Hail to thee, oh, force of will
For awakening minds
There for me from earliest days
Made this tale so mine

Storm you almighty, earth seas and flames
Here I am standing, bare in my honesty
Calm in the moonshine, starlight rests my eyes
Pain wakes me conscious, truth guides my mind

Shine in my heart, strange colors embracing me
I'm not alone in a way
Wrath in my depths, brings me to see I'm a warrior soul

Tortured minds like a cloud they swarm around me
If I said my soul is screaming, would you believe in me?
Secret cry hear the souls there howling, howling
While their salvation is so near

Deep inside it's always my time
All around it's only a world no one owns
Deep in heart it's always my time

Grief is nothing life should be
Never bend for misery
Always standing, always searching, always free
Will is the power

Strayed spirits before me
I see flames still burning
Hearts wounded, transformed yet
Not into grey cold stones

Innocent days, life full of breath
That is the time I am crying for
Fly free again through virgin lands
That is the life I will fight for to regain

Turn around all the founts you'll find behind you
If I said my heart is burning, would you believe in me?
Years flow by, still you drown is caustic memories
Embrace the best and face old grief

Searching for a true relief
Finding life will be your first
Last one'll be your death

Cry of a restless soul

Hunting breeze of wasted bliss, I am, for me and you I will catch it
In the dusk of banished mist you'll hear a waning moan

07. Think Not Forever

Waking up from a nameless decay
My life was is dream and my faith was in chains
Hypocrites kept me blind, still the force is mine, the force is mine

Would it be in my heart to efface?
Emotions for flesh and to stay out of doctrines' range
I am caught in a veil of illusions that haze, my sight

If you think forever things will never change
When you find your sense again
You should follow it's way

If you think forever it is hard to see
When you find you truly believe
You should follow your spirit as your guide

Evolution in mind, heart and soul
Has brought me to see and to reach to my virgin glow
I have changed how to be, but it still is me

There is no one to stop my every strife
And all of my dreams now can be lived in life
I have learned how to see and believe in me, all time

If you think forever things will never change when you find your sense again, you should follow it's way

If you think forever it is hard to see when you find you truly believe, you should follow your spirit as your guide

08. Highlander (The One)

He's the one, pure in his heart
Shining fair in the bliss never lost
Noble grace, innocent faith

Running throughout the fields, immense
Shouting free in the air, again
Dancing there with the wind

Sudden gust hit my face, burning rain tore the clouds
From depth of the gloaming thunder came

On a mountain I saw it
When lightning reached out for him
Enchanting my eyes
In magical rhapsody

On a mountain I watched him
As power filled up his veins
Surrounded by dusk
As the rain from the heaven's falling, falling

And lone he might be on the ways of this world
His sword, sole companion, always there

On a mountain I watched him
When proudly he swung his steel
Embracing my heart
In mystical harmony

On a mountain I saw it
When knowledge aroused his sense
Encircled by clouds
In the gales now enlightened reborn

Wish I could fly through the land beloved
Not in my dream nor by spell then bound
Paradise's here in the fields immense
Here is my life, not above, how could I leave this place

Strengthened by fury, I feel no fear
Fire inside, it keeps me awake
For no blind, I ever shall bend
This is my law, this, is my way

Insight's my power, truth is my breath
Free in my thoughts I always remain
Choose to take a different path
Strong in the storms, pure through the waste

Stand up, oh, brothers over the world
Enemies are there and mostly the same
We are a kind that never gives in
We are a flame, born, in the wind

Time's of no matter, it never was
World is the same, just different form
Freedom is something one doesn't earn
Always your own, graced by the will

He's the one, pure in his heart
Shining fair in the right never lost
Noble grace, unbroken faith

Running throughout the fields immense
Shouting free in the air embraced
Dancing there with the wind
