"Imagine being able to unleash one of the most potent of phenomenae in the universe; to implode the sun, to gaze at the cataclysmic discharge while soaring through clouds of aeon-old particles brought back into reborn alacrity and to experience a moment so cogently malign it would instigate the annihilation of an entire solar system. Such a thought would undeniably be labeled as utter madness by self-declared sane men, but with every passing day the human race gains an increasing control over the forces of nature, and such power is surely within our grasp. And as with our other detrimental discoveries, we will not be able to restrict ourselves from using it.
So, when the time for final abolition comes, let us, you and I, marvel at the sight of millennia of eruption become undone! The question is just:" Do you believe in powers extreme Bewildering majesty Can you perceive a vision supreme Eruption serene Grim destiny infinity radiant intensity Ethereal sphere Future severe Benevolent fear Heed to its fortune bestowed Marvel and let it explode To the inferno we go Detonate the sun and soar into the supernova Now it has begun A solar mass undone Say, can you feel destruction surreal deadly calamity A final demise in godly disguise now will arise Heed to the wisdom of old Unleash a glory untold To the inferno we go Detonate the sun and soar into the supernova Now it has begun a solar mass undone Heed to its fortune bestowed Marvel and let it explode To the infero we go Detonate the sun and soar into the supernova Now it has begun a solar mass undone 02. Cassiopeia Music by Mörck, Holmlid Lyrics by Mörck
"The sages of ancient Greece told many tales and myths of momentous tragedy and heart gripping sadness. The story of the Aethipian queen Cassiopeia, however, is without a doubt one of the most poignant litanies the ancient world has to offer.
She was as bafflingly beautiful as she was vain, and she continously boasted about being more graceful and admirable than her sisters, the ephemeral Nereids. For this, she awoke the wrath of Poseidon himself, who sent down an abhorrent monster to plague both man and beast. According to the white-bearded oracle Ammon this was to continue until Cassiopeia's daughter, Andromeda, was sacrificed before the Cyclopean Gorgon. Andromeda accepted her appalling fate, but was saved by Perseus and Cassiopeia's intervention moments before being devoured by the beast. The Olymian Gods, however, had not forgotten Cassiopeia's atrocious boasting, but upon elevating her to the top spire of Olympia to further punish her, they too, wer struck by her stupefying beauty. Thus, her amercement was to spend eternity among the stars, lonesome and deserted, but her beauty is to this day for all men to enjoy when the firmament is clear on a summer's night. It is said that you can still hear the winds of the Adriatic coast whisper the following words with a ancient, ethereal melody:" Beautiful queen of the waters Borne by celestial mother Sublime astrological divinity Punished for vain intervention She sacrificed godlike ascension Stripped of Olympian serenity "Solar winds will carry me far away from here take me to my journey's end" Hear a goddess cry, a silent hopeless sigh from a sanctum divine From the stars she still whispers Envied among all her sisters Entwined in a kingdom of infinity The tears of an astral descension derived from her moonlit dimension A star that is fading to obscurity "So, my wings will carry me far away from home bring me to my final rest" Hear a goddess cry, a silent hopeless sigh from a sanctum divine Hear a goddess cry, a silent hopeless sigh from a sanctum divine 03. Contact Music by Holmlid, Mörck Lyrics by Mörck
"When you gaze upon the flickering distant stars that set the night sky ablaze with brazen diamonds, has it ever occurred to you that the chance is great that someone, or rather something, is glaring back at you?
If such a creature would make contact with human beings, in what shape would such a message be? Megalithic antennas throughout the world continuously scan the skies for such cosmic perplexities, and on one fateful day they might very well find a pattern of cryptic logic in the empyrean waves of sonar resonation. There is only one thing that can be said with some certainty; if such a stellar scroll would lead to contact between our two races, the destructiveness of mankind would see that only one species would remain." A cryptic equation of a pulsating light An unearthly riddle from beyond the starlit sky Message of unknown design Heavenly but non-divine Sent by intelligent minds An echo through space and time Fractal figures, deciphered lines Stellar visit is nigh See the fire in the cloudless night Bright reflections of lights in my eyes Now we will see will our contact be salvation from afar a guiding star A cold observation of systematical eyes Our demeanour transfigured A calculated demise Contact with alien life Heavenly but non-divine Communication with cosmic minds that travelled through space and time See the fire in the cloudless night Bright reflections of lights in my eyes Now we will see will our contact be salvation from afar A guiding star Complete fulfillment of ancient signs A swift destruction by higher minds See the fire in the cloudless night Bright reflection of lights in my eyes now we will see that our contact will be destruction from afar One final war 04.

"Change alone is eternal,
perpetual, immortal." - Arthur Schopenhauer "When you feel that you have achieved everything in life; complacency, comfort and convenience, life has a tendency to induce moments that swipes away the bedrock of your everyday life. Instead of being engulfed in disconsolation and distress, use these times of trouble to reinvoke the dreams, passion and standards you once had before choosing amenity as your personal deity. So, like the people of old, choose the stars as your guide and aim beyond the sun, for a life not truly lived is like a vast firmament devoid of fiery astral bodies." I am getting closer to a higher ground My destination lies beyond the sun Not afraid of failure, to crash and burn If you're not living you will never learn Constellations for revealing my destiny Astronomy There among the stars Like a higher conscience living in my mind You're always with me till the end of time It is there before me Undisguised No hesitation I am on the rise Constellations far revealing my agony Astronomy There among the stars A life without strife is a moonless night Astronomy Ascend to a sky of endless light Astronomy Constellations far revealing my destiny There among the stars A life without strife is a moonless night Astronomy Ascend to a sky of endless light Astronomy 05. Antimatter Music by Magnusson, Holmlid Lyrics by Holmlid, Mörck
"Monolithic spheres circle around an utterly chaotis realm with a Dirac sea of baleful negative particles, engulfed in a funereal vacuum as primeval as the very discharge that created this universe.
It is a blighted landscape where the substratum of relativity is twisted beyond the consecrated laws of science and sane logic, and where transcendental matter reveals its dualistic nature. Behold what science dare only speculate about, for this is the dominion of contraterrene corporeality... So, follow me, my young assistant, to a place disturbingly alike our own, yet inexplicably disparate! Let us just activite the three first phases, and our journey shall commence." Before the stars were born A separation of fractal cycles Decelerating array - nothing stands in my way Antiuniverse See, what science won't believe A mirror for this world Through gateways you will pass Inverted human mass "Interstellar travels - naught, in contrast to this... ...inversion of the universe known" There will be no return and soon you will learn Now follow me Before the stars were born from matter it was torn Reach out, you will... See, what science won't believe A mirror for this world Through gateways you will pass Inverted human mass Leave this earth to a plane With shadows lost in time A vision of anti-life Abandon your strife Before this dream was born my vision was forlorn None believed but... Now, behold what can't be seen The mirror of a dream There will be no return So reach out, you will learn 06. The Book Of Shadows Part IV: The Scrolls Of Geometria Divina

07. Beethoven's Nightmare
Twilight, candlelit walls
A strong crescendo Highlights the lonely calls From my piano Melody, come to me sing your silent voice Remedy my envy Bring me one last choice Why, why can't you bring me to find? To clear your sound no wayfarer is blind See my hands Conducting a nightmare The symphony of a tragedy So great it devours me These notes are just fantasy Peretual dream won't let go of me I struggle to live without the notion of a sound that could open my mind moonlight, make me conceive a slow sonata Midnight, the dead will grieve to this dark cantata The detestable dance to my score they hear my cries Your guidance I implore See my hands Constructing a nightmare the symphony of a universe So vast it devours me These nights are just fantasy Celestial beam, help me to see I struggle to live without the notion of a sound That could open my mind Into a unending sorrow A festival of horror An orchestra of the undead So bright my destiny was Golden future Inside shadows amass Nocturnal rapture Melody, come to me Sing your silent voice Remedy my envy Bring me one last choice Why can't you bring me to find? to hear your sound No wayfarer is blind See my hands Conducting a nightmare The beauty of a melody Is all that inspires me to write my last symphony Perpetual dream never lets go of me I struggle to live without the notion of a sound That could (have) opened my mind 08. Too Late For Sorrow
Show me, will you lead the way
To a place where I will feel this pain? Tell me you will always be by my side and wait for this final moment. Close your eyes and hear my whisper longing for the sun 'cause I live my life I live my life Lost all of my hope and I'm fearing tomorrow. where will I be trying to see? but it's too late. So now I know that I'm alone and it's too late for sorrow. Trust me, it is my advice don't look back in time it's hard to realise. So hold me And I will always be by your side and wait for this final moment. I close my eyes and hear your whisper calling for a sign I live my life lost all of my hope and I'm fearing tomorrow. Where will I be trying to see? But it's too late. So now I know that I'm alone and it's too late for sorrow. I lived my life lost all of my hope now it's too late I live my life lost all of my hope and I'm fearing tomorrow. (For I need you, I need you) Where will I be trying to see? (Longing to see) But it's too late for sorrow. (But it's too late) 09. Direction: Perfection
