Cover me with snow
Freeze me to death
Forever I'll lay
In the alpine bed
Seasons will change
But I shall remain
Stripped bare of my coat
I will rest in peace

02. Black Moon

See the signs
Adorning the sky
With fear in your eyes
In hope of the sunrise

Hearts beat fast as the moon turns black
And the trees catch fire from the bleeding sky
Stars are fading and the sun won't show
All their hearts are bleeding as the moon turns black

To the edge
To the moon
We will be swept away
It's the end, the end, the end
Hear them cry out
To the moon
Oh, will the Earth abide?
It's the end, the end, the end

(It's the end, the end, the end)
(It's the end, the end, the end)

End it may
With ice or in flames
Your tears will dry
In hope of the divine

Hearts beat fast
Moon turns black
Hearts beat fast
Moon turns black

To the edge
To the moon
We will be swept away
It's the end, the end, the end
Hear them cry out
To the moon
Oh, will the Earth abide?
It's the end, the end, the end

(It's the end, the end, the end)
(It's the end, the end, the end)

To the edge
To the moon
We will be swept away
It's the end, the end, the end
Hear them cry out
To the moon
Oh, will the Earth abide?
It's the end, the end, the end

Oh, is it the end?
Oh, is it the end?
(To the moon)

03. Challenge

Oh, the time is nigh, I follow
All the echoes reciting to me
I'll read the sky and follow
The footsteps my enemies left for me

This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
Hear me shout it out loud

Challenge me to the death
With my feet stuck to the ground
How can we cherish our inner demons
Without shouting it, letting it, fighting it out?

Challenge me 'til the early dawn
With my hands tied at the back
I know I'll bring you down to your knees at last
Crying mercy, mercy, have mercy

I can't deny you're hollow
And I can't wait to bring you down
Delights my eyes, your sorrow
And feeds my old ever so vengeful heart

This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
Of you hitting the ground

This is the sound
Shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it
Shout it out loud

Challenge me to the death
With my feet stuck to the ground
How can we cherish our inner demons
Without shouting it, letting it, fighting it out?

Challenge me to the death
With my feet stuck to the ground
How can we cherish our inner demons
Without shouting it, letting it, fighting it out?

Challenge me 'til the early dawn
With my hands tied at the back
I know I'll bring you down to your knees at last
Crying mercy, mercy, have mercy on me

04. Hullaballoo

Once a pillar in the ground
My ceaseless gaze beheld the sky
As endlessly the heavens wept
Commence, eternal flood

Hullaballoos
Sorrow, dread, and fear
What did they do to me?
Oh, I was a statue
Stone-cold, iron heart
They've bewitched me
With love, hate, fear, tears, agony, and regret

Now I crumble, turn to sand
Eternal waters, I give in
As my peak becomes the shore
Forever drowned I am

Hullaballoos
Sorrow, dread, and fear
What did they do to me?
Oh, I was a statue
Stone-cold, iron heart
They've bewitched me
With love, hate, fear, tears, agony, and regret

Hullaballoos
Sorrow, dread, and fear
What did they do to me?
Oh, I was a statue
Stone-cold, iron heart
They've bewitched me
With love, hate, fear, tears, agony, and regret

(Hullaballoos)
(Hullaballoos)
Oh, I was a statue
(Hullaballoos)
Forever I drown
(Hullaballoos)
In you, oh-oh

05. Six Days

On the first day of nothing
The moon told him to go
Or punished he shall be
With gusts of freezing cold

On the second day of nothing
The sun begged him to leave
Or she shall embrace him
Burns deep under his skin

On the third day of nothing
The planets screamed with rage
United they'd be
And cast him out with flames

On the fourth day of nothing
The devil said hello
Embracing all the gods he knew
The games they shall begin

On the fifth day of nothing
He felt his skin dissolve
And felt the rain pouring down
Although the sky was dry

The world, it has vanished
All that's left are shards of stone
And one faithful man
Who hasn't yet let go

The universe swallowed
Every single thing he loved
And the planets don't know, oh
Why he's holding on

The world, it has vanished
All that's left are shards of stone
And one faithful man
Who hasn't yet let go

The universe swallowed
Every single thing he loved
And the planets don't know, oh
Why he's holding on

Hold on to a fraction of your sanity
Hold on, hold on
Go on, live in consciousness eternally
Go on, go on

On the sixth day of nothing
Salvation was announced
It rang aloud in his head
Only for him to hear

Surrounding him vast nothingness
The punishments at halt
And all that he could ask himself was
"Why did I hold on?"

06. The Hermit

Lonesome soul
Where did you go?

An aging wall of stone impedes the path
Guarding the old man's tranquil hearth
Forever alone
Awaiting the unknown

Hoi polloi
Hoi, hoi polloi
He has turned his back on you
Hoi polloi
Hoi, hoi polloi
Ward his solemn soul from you
And never held
Never felt love

Cold and tired
The old man dies

A raging fire befalls the path
Holding the ashes of his lair
Forever alone
Forever at home

Hoi polloi
Hoi, hoi polloi
He has turned his back on you
Hoi polloi
Hoi, hoi polloi
Ward his solemn soul from you
And never held
Never felt love

07. Water

Petrichor
Scent of life
Water's lore
The euphony of the rain

Blissful silence takes over
From the storm
Silken the ocean from the sun
Turning a blind eye
Forgetting we're at war
Beauty distracting
From what's real

Petrichor
(Alone)
Scent of life
Water's lore
(I'm alone)
The euphony of the rain

08. Fire, Wind & Earth

Whoa-oh
(Here comes the storm)

Fire was my faith
Earth, you were my truth
Air, you gave me life
As four we gave birth to the world

Now they choke me
Disrupt me
As I wither and dry up
They're growing stronger

The flames are searing through the night
The ground beneath me is parting
Tortured by the wind
Brisk the storm embraces my wrath
Sealing my waves
(Here comes the storm)
Fire, wind, and earth

Flames, I could drown
Earth, you I held down
Air, I made you cry
Now I'm alone, they turned on me

Now they haunt me
They taunt me
I'm old and weak
So soon I'll be no more

The flames are searing through the night
The ground beneath me is parting
Tortured by the wind
Brisk the storm embraces my wrath
Sealing my waves
(Here comes the storm)
Fire, wind, and earth

Now it's winter
I'm dying, I'm dying
Now it's colder
I'm freezing, I'm freezing

The flames are searing through the night
The ground beneath me is parting
Tortured by the wind
Brisk the storm embraces my wrath
Sealing my waves
(Here comes the storm)
Fire, wind, and earth

09. Rebels

The sun was set
And light in the moon
Will call to arms
In the hours of night

Face the shame
Rule the world
I can't deny it
I wish I was your fool

Lie for our leaders
As they burn the vacant stakes
Come douse the flames
Smoke of the fear of the falling sky
Thereupon, run the gaunt
Anyone, plead to leave utopia
Fraudulent utopia

The sun was set
And light in the moon
Will call to arms
In the hours of night

Then the race
Bleed 'til it hurts
We won't engage you
But break away

Lie for our leaders
As they burn the vacant stakes
Come douse the flames
Smoke of the fear of the falling sky
Thereupon, run the gaunt
Anyone, plead to leave utopia
Fraudulent utopia

The sun was set
And light in the moon
Will call to arms
In the hours of night

10. Under The Oak Tree?

Under the oak tree
My best friend lies
Under the oak tree
A part of me dies

You liked the sunshine
You loved the bed of snow in wintertime
Your innocence so blind
I wish we had time

Why did you go?
Why did you go?
I should have known
I should have known

Under the oak tree
Is my best friend's home
Under the oak tree
He lies all alone

I hope you understood
Things I meant to convey but never could
I thought you'd always be mine
I thought we had time

Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Oh, I should have known
I should have known

Once I realized the end
Coming near
Once I saw it in your eyes
I had to let you go

11. ?High Above These Crowns

I kiss the ground you are part of
I hear you calling my name

May your spirit rise
High above these crowns
May your breath become the wind
Whispering to me

I kiss the ground you are part of
I hear you calling my name

May your spirit rise
High above these crowns
May your breath become the wind
Whispering to me

I will let you go
I will let you go
I will let you go
I will let you go
Oh, I will let you go
Oh, I will let you go

(I will let you go)

12. Starcrusher

Lo and behold
The fairy dust, run
Lo and behold
The fairy dust, run

(Run)

Splitting asunder our home
Roars of thunder and lightning
Try to stun her to no avail
Hell-bent

Hell-bent on crushing stars
She's come to haunt our dreams
Her dust will coat the skies
And poison our land

Be careful
Of the fairy dust, run
Be careful
Of the fairy dust, run

(Run)

Splitting asunder our home
Splitting asunder the night sky

Hell-bent on crushing stars
She's come to haunt our dreams
Her dust will coat the skies

(Hey-hey)
(Hey-hey)
(Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey)

Hell-bent on crushing stars
She's come to haunt our dreams
Her dust will coat the skies
And poison our land

Hell-bent on crushing stars
(Our home)
She's come to haunt our dreams
(The night sky)
Her dust will coat the skies

13. Hedonia

Rot send d'starne
Vom walke firmament
Chreie fluuged gschwend
Ond fliehed vorem tod
Alles verluuret d'farb
Ond leit sech still zor rueh
Oh, au ech geb langsam uuf
Schloof ii em truebe moos

Jadada
So truurig luegt de mond
Jadada
Erscht luuchtend no, jetzt tot

Wo mol mis dehei esch gsi
Erwartet mech nor asche
Alli baum vom grond vershlokt
Stiigt rauch zom himmel uuf

Schlooflose traumer
Gsehsch du es liecht?
Gschpuursch du au d'sonne
Weich of dim gsicht?

Schatte schliiched scho dors tal
Wo mol labe gsi esch rueh
Wolche zeiged ehri zah
Onrueh herrscht am firmament

Sonne, traum ned
So truurig luegt de mond
Walk de himmel, eisch so farbefroh
Froh
Traumer, s'aend esch noh
Duschter, tag ond nacht

Alles verluuret d'farb
Ond leit sech still zor rueh
Alles wird grau ond kahl
Bereit ond gwillt zom starbe
Alles verluuret d'farb
Ond leit sech still zor rueh

Rot, ein letscht starn
Rot, ond bald wirds schwarz

Hedonia
Geb acht dis and esch noh
Luuchtendi starne
Verbleiched nohdisnoh

Hedonia
Geb acht dis and esch noh
Luuchtendi starne
Verbleiched nohdisnoh

Alles verluuret d'farb
Ond leit sech still zor rueh
Alles verluuret d'farb
Ond leit sech still zor rueh
Alles verluuret d'farb
Ond leit sech still zor rueh
Alles verluuret d'farb
Ond leit sech still zor rueh

14. Redemption

Tell me of the moor
I've heard them say
That it is true
That it takes you in
Eliminates
Every piece of you

Forget it all

Take me to the moor
Where memories fade
And I'll begin anew
Walk with me this long
Remorseful path
Until I prevail

Forget it all
Sorrow until nightfall
Forget it all
Torment me until dawn

Forget it all
Sorrow until nightfall
Forget it all
Torment me until dawn

Take me to the moor
Where I will feel
Like a newborn
Dusk will lure me in
And make me pay
For a new dawn

Forget it all
Sorrow until nightfall
Forget it all
Torment me until dawn

And there's no doubt
I'm caving in
Giving in
Letting go
Take me there
Oh, take me there
To the moor
To the end
Will I be innocent again?
Forget every single day?

Take me there
Oh, take me there
To the moor
To the end
Will I be innocent again?
Forget every single day?

Take me there
Oh, take me there
To the moor
To the end
Will I be innocent again?
Forget every single day?

Take me there
Oh, take me there
To the moor
Take me there
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah

15. The Cold Song

Let me, let me
Let me, let me freeze again
(Let, let, let, let)
Let me, let me freeze again to death

What power art thou?
Who from below
Hast made me rise
Unwillingly and slow?
From beds of everlasting snow

Let me, let me
Freeze again
Let me, let me
Freeze to death
Let me, let me
Freeze again
Let me, let me
Freeze to death
Let me, let me
Freeze again
Let me, let me
Freeze to death
Let me, let me
Freeze again
Let me, let me
Freeze to death

I can scarcely move
Or draw my breath
I can scarcely move
Or draw my breath

Let me, let me
Freeze again
Let me, let me
Freeze to death
Let me, let me
Freeze again

I can scarcely move
Or draw my breath
I can scarcely move
Or draw my breath

16. Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
"Hello, teacher, tell me, what's my lesson?"
Look right through me
Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world
Mad world
Halargian world
Mad world

17. The Prophet's Song

Oh, oh, people of the Earth
Listen to the warning, the seer, he said
Beware the storm that gathers here
Listen to the wise man

I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair
Spreading his hands on the multitude there
A man who cried for a love gone stale
And ice cold hearts of charity bare

I watched as fear took the old men's gaze
Hopes of the young in troubled graves
"I see no day", I heard him say
So grey is the face of every mortal

Oh, oh, people of the Earth
Listen to the warning, the prophet, he said
For soon the cold of night will fall
Summoned by your own hand

Oh, oh, children of the land
Quicken to the new life, take my hand
Fly and find the new green bough
Return like the white dove

He told of death as a bone white haze
Taking the lost and the unloved babe
Late, too late all the wretches run
These kings of beasts now counting their days

From mother's love is the son estranged
Married his own, his precious gain
The Earth will shake, in two will break
And death all around will be your dowry

Oh-oh, people of the Earth
Listen to the warning, the seer, he said
For those who hear and mark my words
Listen to the good plan

Oh-oh, oh-oh
And two by two, my human zoo
They'll be running for to come
Running for to come out of the rain

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, flee for your life
Who heed me not
Let all your treasure make you
Oh, fear for your life
Deceive you not
The fires of hell will take you
Should death await you

Oh-oh, people, can you hear me?
(Oh-oh, people, can you hear me?)
And now I know and now I know
And now I know and now I know
That you can hear me
And now I know, now I know
And now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know

The Earth will shake, in two will break
The Earth will shake, in two will break
Death all around, around, around, around
Around, around, around, around

Now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, I know
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Listen to the wise
Listen to the wise
Listen to the wise
Listen to the wise
Listen to the wise man

La-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la

Listen to the man
Listen to the man
Listen to the man
Listen to the mad man

God gave you grace to purge this place
And peace all around may be your fortune

Oh-oh, children of the land
Love is still the answer, take my hand
The vision fades, a voice I hear
Listen to the madman

But still I fear and still I dare not
Laugh at the madman
