Tracks



02. Timeless Ones

Shine afar, the empty stars
The countless ones
With her I fall through all voids
Unsung, forlorn

Shine, the empty stars
The countless ones
With her I fall
Unsung, forlorn

The light in the dark
Unveils a death unfound
And the lies are over now
The light in the dark
Unveils a death unfound
The false days are nowhere now

With sore eyes
I dive into the thoughts, the timeless ones
With sore eyes
She dives into the thoughts, the timeless ones

And we saw the trail of stars...

The light in the dark
Unveils a death unfound
And the lies are over now
The light in the dark
Unveils a death unfound
And the false days are nowhere now

Shine afar!
We're the timeless ones

03. Away I Flow

I´m following your trail of tears
Into darkness
And it´s coming back piece by piece
This nothingness we lived in
Now left behind
At the crossroads we had to part
At last

Forging this fire means nothing
We´ll fall - trying to live for something

We're following your trail of tears
Into darkness
`Cause at the crossroads we had to part
At last

For the voices inside
And by following those lights unknown
Away I flow
No desire to live
The sacrifice is all there is
Away I flow

04. All That Blooms (Needs To Die)

The weight of darkness is over me
I want sorrow to lead
Through the fires
To the fields unknown
There´s my solace

Inside I´m burning
Led by will I tremble

All that blooms needs to die

I´m mesmerised
Fed with hopes I shiver

It haunts from inside
And it will follow us

05. Starlit / Lifeless

Her body starlit and lifeless
We lie here on the leaves white
Her body starlit and lifeless
No memory where we came from here
Into this darkness

Cries from far will echo inside

As we chose to leave the false shadow
Into the dark alive
Found the path that lured us to follow
To another place and time

06. The Wishing Tomb

Empty glory of life
Those norms can't sanctify
The dream dead before your eyes
The one that you once had

It's true at dawn
We'll exit here
Not afraid to fade away
Away into the bliss
With no fear
No reason to stay now

Until we are dust

Here, deep in the woods
We're standing at the wishing tomb
And asking if all this
Could be over, could be over

Until we are but dust on their skins
No-one will find us in this darkness

Free us!

Until we are but dust
In this darkness...

07. No Closure

Bound to her sorrow
I gaze into the stars
To find reason
Why she left this planet

No closure
There's no closure to my grief

Bound to her sorrow
I walk into the woods
To search for solace
And understanding

I soar in the forest
With death in my sight
Now time won't heal me
I'm one with this darkness

08. A Mercy Fall

Through the years
The days filled with bottomless grief
Followed us
And all this time
Drawn into the lights we saw
It's a mercy fall

In the cold lights of this nothingness
I'm free at last
'Cause in dust we found our stillness
A starless sky
Full of life

And it's empty for us
We know that it's here we stay now
It's empty for us
This void is all that matters now

And it's empty for us
We know that it's here we stay now
And it's empty for us
This void is all that counts

09. This Well Of Failures

At the crossroads
We chose failure
No other way
Another route

At the crossroads
We chose sacrifice
No other way
Another route

Surviving in this night starless
is better than before somehow

And the leaves they fill
The air
They fall upon us
We´re free
