When alliance has the value
Of a broken royal seal, Heroic is the denial to bent To a flamboyant mighty siege. Falcons are their arrows Like a forest seem their sheilds. Catapults are spitting wrath Causing a waterfall of collapsing Castle walls. In anvils was methodicaly forged A diplomacy of the sword A plot has provided the rope To hang the bloody flag of war. "Vow that no truce will stop the conflict" Fierce if a purpose born from greed. Brotherhood of the fallen knights With the emblem of the morning star Justified all actions must be For honnor to rest untained. Tomorrow has to car the lessons That will nourish the naire. "Vow that no truce will stop the conflict" Fierce if a purpose born from greed. Brotherhood of the fallen knights With the emblem of the morning star 02. The Eldest Cosmonaut
Shine
In the mines of the darkest star. The one no jewel can never shine. A rode is left to point to Styx, Both its end can lead,both can deceive. No traps can seize, The Eldest Cosmonaut As time stands still,incapable to breathe. Once in clay I allowed the decades To become a stone wall around me But at least I became the wall of decades. Can you feel the wrinkles on my hand? They are yours.They are lines I once Drew upon the sand... So bring your light to me I have a boat unseen a labyrinthine sphere The gnosis of the eldest cosmonaut And maybe you will see That I am what your mind can never seal Travelling the luminiferous waters of space, Through the Stellar Isthmus. It can lead it can decieve. No traps can seize me,No toombs can seal me. So bring your light to me I have a boat unseen a labyrinthine sphere The gnosis of the eldest cosmonaut And maybe you will see That I am what your mind can never seal 03. Marble Smiling Face
Black leather gloves
On soft thin hands. Red Celtic knives, Sharp as your touch. Hunting eagle proudly land On this island that's my heart Twin Mirrors blue. Cold lakes consealing Fire. Red coral hair. A dazzling ruby dome Hunting eagle proudly land On this island that's my heart Elegance combined with grace Dressed your marble smiling face 04. Underworld (Act 1)
Tranquility...How necessary,how boring it can be.
The liquid void has no ears To receive the consolation of the surface. [An ignorant:] "Maybe it's better that way What doesn't touch doesn't hurt." The innocence of a swan Gliding on a desolate lake Can't be sensed And therefore can't bring jealousy. Entire worlds full of wonder are banished To rest only in few visionary minds, Haunting them with their glowing beauty. Fortunately,there are always Those with the forked tongue To bring the borders closer. But there are also tribes of inferior beings, Beings so proudly inferior Necessary to give worth to the higher. But not without cost... They liberate ordeals. Their negative thought is the fungus, The grim vestment of the relic. [The leader:] The eroding francincence of marasmous Can become untollerable Their region is warm like a blanket But narrow as a coffin, An underworld. Fortunately there are always Those with the forked tongue That bring the borders closer... 05. Temple Of The Lost Race
Preserved from the ancient years
When Earth was just a newborn star The proof of a distant truth Arrogantly stands mocking the wind Guarding mysteries that man has not unchained An emblem of power has remained, a fallen temple.... Faded pictures all over the walls Projecting a horrid state of sanity Figures that don't belong to a human race Symbols and maps Architectural miracles carrying the history of a race That now seems lost Fears born from the Past Temple of the lost race Deep inside the heart of the pole An old ruler of the stars Buried in a chest from glass, the answers about our path Eternal life can't rest asleep it lurks beneath as force of will Ancient are the rules set on this world An emblem of power will remain, a fallen temple.... Fears born from the Past Temple of the lost race Deep inside the heart of the pole an old ruler of the stars 06. The Crypt
In a dream I saw a man
A face not strange to me He stared at me while I was asleep and whispered in my ear He led me through the corridors of my ancestral home He stopped one step before one wall, and then I fainted In the eldest wall of my home I found the entrance of a crypt The view I saw was so obscure, Alien remnants, pentagrams and candles of the floor The crypt was made as a passage to the gates of reality And just when I realised the truth I was in a different shape I hear thousands of sounds Like bestial laughs, deafening flutes and daemonic choirs Possibilities fall under control, unfolding new dimensions 07. Setting Of The Two Suns
In a world of endless light, into the boundless space
Two suns the only gods, two burning holes in the sky Without a warning the two suns slowly faded Abandoning their only children unprotected from the cold Down on their knees, They have total conscience, As Night drains their spirit, the inner light of logic Leaving the bodies to walk this blind planet Stumbling to others that now are animals, crying light....... Setting of the two suns Then a light came from the horizon Devouring the land It wasn't sun! It took a minute for a flame to become a fire The great cities will all become ashes, Drifting with the wind 08. Erebus
Waiting the drawing of the underworld
None to share your fears The shadow of CHARON falls Upon the stone of hopes The body is paralysing The air is too thick to enter A cataclysm is spawned into the regions of the soul The cry of the first time when you were free from the womb, Is the same but now you are entering the night Most try to understand why they are born if they must die Life seems pointless with an end They wonder if existence remains after death or erebus is the final state Charon: ''You knew from the beginning That the end will come in time Yet so many things you left undone So many more unknown In a life that is but a dream Into a gods dream." Most try to understand why they are born if they must die Life seems pointless with an end Charon: "Existence is a choice that is left after death Erebus is my mental state." 09. Underworld (Act 2)
Our patience has been dried away
Since a long time... And the thirst, the need to unfold desire Transforming it into a touchable object How bitter was the taste of emptiness in our ill formed mouths But it was natural as our ideas was based on wishes younger Weed as fruits at first A scholar: ''Your fathers knew These worlds by heart Even those that never ever crossed The eerie side.'' We came to see the upper world Where colours dance and the air moves bright We came to see... As a cat with her claws extended orchestrates a merciless grasp Weapons move damn swiftly in an attacking stance ready to cut through And open doors crimson A scholar: ''Your fathers knew These worlds by heart Even those that never ever crossed The eerie side.'' Divine mother: ''Let me heal your wounds with mine Now that you have deceived the night.'' The leader: "Rest assured that none of us Will ever lose that way to you These stains are also traces And they clean conscience As it is their duty to do so The order was strict Conquer or be conquered." Our patience has been dried away since a long time... And the thirst, the need to unfold desire Transforming it into a touchable object The leader: Hold no more your horses Let them run like lava Melting stone and granite In hollow caves Raging Victory acts as shepherd leading the way 10. The Eldest Cosmonaut
Shine
In the mines of the darkest star. The one no jewel can never shine. A rode is left to point to Styx, Both its end can lead,both can deceive. No traps can seize, The Eldest Cosmonaut As time stands still,incapable to breathe. Once in clay I allowed the decades To become a stone wall around me But at least I became the wall of decades. Can you feel the wrinkles on my hand? They are yours.They are lines I once Drew upon the sand... So bring your light to me I have a boat unseen a labyrinthine sphere The gnosis of the eldest cosmonaut And maybe you will see That I am what your mind can never seal Travelling the luminiferous waters of space, Through the Stellar Isthmus. It can lead it can decieve. No traps can seize me,No toombs can seal me. So bring your light to me I have a boat unseen a labyrinthine sphere The gnosis of the eldest cosmonaut And maybe you will see That I am what your mind can never seal |
