Salamandra - Faces Of Chimera lyrics



Tracks



01. The Tears Of The Ocean

Instrumental

02. Orion

Water and fire
From way back fight and wrestle face to face
Light at the end of
Way bringing death may not just be the case

Hatred and love have
Been settled in all human hearts for long
Sorrow and life go
Together doesn't matter if it's right or wrong

Death or glory leave
A victorious taste
Tears of happiness
Become bitter of pains

Faded is glory
And you see star above you it's a sign
Envy fills your heart
And they say truth is hiding in the wine

Death or glory leave
A victorious taste
Tears of happiness
Become bitter of pains

I see Orion shining high
Seems so close but still so faraway
Our lives are passing by
Even you have a place of your own up there
When? did you ever tell me?

03. Dreams Of The Fair

What is it like keeping silent falling feared behind
You cannot help running with innate fear on your mind

Scream in your sleep it may be the ghost of former times
Salvage doesn't always come with new day as you wish

Can't buy vain dreams of the fair
Don't say you don't really care

What is it like wandering and changing mind with wind
You think you've got many friends but who knows what's inside

You keep lying spitting empty words again and again
You don't care to look around show it to all who're there

Can't buy vain dreams of the fair
Wanted by forces of the hell

They will set a mask right over your head
So that they don't have to look at your face
They will tie you up so you can't defend
Allow you to scream but nobody will care

It will perhaps be long day of your life
Despite very few moments it may take
When all of your life runs through in your head
It will cross your mind that this is the end

04. Legacy Of The Heroes

You! look in my eyes
Read my lips to hear the lord
You! listen to my voice
I am passing his word

You say follow the knights
Who lead crowds but i still want more
Good and evil just fight
Which is the way to go, right way to go

You must follow your heart
Stand with pride and pray to wise men
Who never stand apart
Don't give up! say amen

Some men wished to break free
But were too blind to trust naked true
Saw the phantom of win
Their end was terribly cruel, terribly cruel

Heroes
From heroes
For heroes

Heroes
From heroes
For heroes

05. Eternal Injustice

Cruel scream spreading in town
Deep despair going around

Unjustly accused, let wilt
Innocent admit their guilt

You know force of lord is great
Beg for grace, appeal to fate

Unjustly keeping in chains
Your hands are full of blood stains

Bbonfire
Set to find
Reason to blame
For revenge
Wish to frame
Denounce the bad

Thousand years no change at all
Enemies are new and more

How much blood is it gonna take
Empty words that give you ache

What gives them right tell me why
What are their reasons to cry

How much blood are you gonna stand
Will they ever understand

Bonfire
Set to find
Reason to blame
For revenge
Wish to frame
Denounce the bad

06. Heart Full Of Snow

You never thought deadly shadows crawling slyly
Behind you could take you far away
You're full of grief and more and more afraid
Feelings are just an empty phrase

You find no help in advice as your friends don't understand
You feed them with gall
So you imitate, got to ignore it all
And you think they don't mind at all

Now you can feel like an empty shell or a page
Someone mean and evil tore away
Your eyes are closed you espy a misty call
From your soul that is mazing in the hell

You find no help in advice as friends don't understand
You feed them with gall
So you imitate, got to ignore it all
And you think they don't mind at all

Heart full of snow
Ice traces disappear
Hate's a boomerang that returns back to you
Heart full of snow
Muscle of ice showing fear
And it doesn't melt and doesn't tell you truth

You keep refusing to live your dreams
New day has born to fight off all your fears

07. Chimera

All you feel's disquiet
Longings burn and you do long to pry
Lovely chimera
Sneaks into your dreams
Braids you in those betrayal nets you cry
Damn such chimera

You don't have a chance at all
You can't run away
From this nightmare's course
Looks right into your eyes
With evil-eyed sight
You sink under force

Guards you day and night
Prowls around and leaves deep trace in soul
This cruel chimera
Controls your pure mind
Lives in your dreams with the only goal
Seek and destroy

You don't have a chance at all
You can't run away
From this nightmare's course
Looks right into your eyes
With evil-eyed sight
You sink under force

Come for a fantastic ride
You feel your wings grow
Life is like free fall
Fly and rise to the sun
Your ideas burn
So wake up and jump!

08. Conquest Of Paradise

I sense black sky above my head
No one can see it just looks bad

Lost a thousand miles from home
Lost at the end of world
Lost at the ends of all

Tell me how much time now i have
When and if ever we'll get there

Only questions but no gainst
Just doubt and its bad taste
And death is all around

Please help me now
I lose my promise
Please tell me why

Perhaps we stand
In front of paradise
There's no way back

09. Atlantis

Listen to the story that once upon a time
Somewhere in the ocean an isle appeared for a while
Beyond Hercules pillars the great and huge empire
Conquering every country big power on the sea

None will ever tell you where that huge might arose
Their glorious existence was not to last for long
Now that power is over they failed to beat the Greeks
Going back to ocean in a single day and night

Just one day of fatal misfortune

Volcano or Poseidon
Went mad 'bout things in the world
They could not let it widen
Atlantis had to go

You know life is boring when it's just felicity
No pain or complications but pure simplicity
You live your life to full speed when you're sad and full of pain
When jaundice and sick spirit go with you hand in hand

Just one day of fatal misfortune

Volcano or Poseidon
Went mad 'bout things in the world
They could not let it widen
Atlantis had to go

10. Requiem

Tears in my eyes
Turn into a rain
And wild river
Ocean with no end

Deep in my soul
Beneath peaks and stones
Eternal silence
Beats of my heart

Open your mind
Listen to my requiem
Sad melody
Song full of pain

Deep in your core
Your faith wrapped in ice
Deepest motions
Open your eyes

I've dreamed of the land so long
But now it's just your scene
That's left in my heart that is all
Say where it's give me a trace
A hundred years have been lost
As mysterious grail

Men are crying over your beauty

Know your name
Is all i want
Want to know your secret dreams

Know your name
Is all i care
Care about your strong desire
Your strong and hot desire

11. Fading Desires

Look around the world to see
How we change our needs
Desperate to find the things
To satisfy our greeds

Love and pride ain't much for us
Today you can't deny
We don't treasure glory or
The starlight in the sky, in the sky

You say you need them but it's
Your mind talking i know
We do take it all for granted
Still want more and more

Remember our ancestors
Willing to die for pride
Ne'er hesitated to call out
Stand up and fight

Save us
To stand on solid ground
Save us
None shall damn your aid
Save us
Pray for our salvo
Save us
We promise we'll obey

12. War Of Evils

Seven days that are coming now
Will surely go down in history
Story that can't be found in the books or memory

Bloody fight will never end
With powers of evil and its crimes
We know it's greatly powerful at all times

Fear inside but not terrified
Hiding hardly they are tired too much
Wverybody who believes in the fight don't give it up.

Listen to the drums and their strong sounds
Encouraging to the last night of ours
Look up to the sky and feel your heart
Tomorrow and on we'll be all apart

Want to see just smoke and steam around
So set the fire and bring all iron down
It's time to show the mystery of steel
Our dogs should stay hungry to make it real

Evil the king of darkness
Like eagle flying so damn high
Evil coming from the darkness
Eagle our sacrifice

Bloody fight will never end
Wth powers of evil and its crimes
We know it's greatly powerful at all times

Fear inside but not terrified
Hiding hardly they are tired too much
Everybody who believes in the fight don't give it up.

13. The Last Of All

Sitting on riverside
Time has paused for him now
Watching strong stream of joy
Waning faraway

Shadows of leaning trees
Buried his misery
Tried to find his way home
Sailing away no more

Comfort and peace no more and no rush anywhere
Conscience runs from no one doesn't run from you

Facing too much
Vice time after time
Found what looked for
Too long being there all alone

Million stars or some more
Shine above tired head
No attempt to count all
Blazing in the sky

This is why he turns in ceasing his wandering
Hiding tear in his eye found a silent place

Never lost hope
Trusting all his dreams
Would he go for
Chair instead of throne made of gold

Screaming in silent night
Touching past history
And the darkest deep night's
Slowly falling down

Have them carry you away
On the wings of fantasy
Draw a deep breath and start
To read another page
