I was told by my Grandma' many years ago, I was just a child: "Boy, go and grow as an honest man. Look on what you've done with pride!"
The years have passed I'm a normal lad I won't be named in school treatises But looking back on what I've done Yes, there's a glimpse of pride! The losers' ball - dance with me to the sound of the fiddle For the ones who fall - like a cloudless sky reflected in a billow Learn a new step for each new Babylon (build the city of lies and despair) If you have time send a message to every form of human life: "Hey out there if someone listens. This way we won't survive!" We'll be drawn in arrogance Hanged by the noose of greed A new religion of violence A bible of bad deeds The losers' ball - Dance with me to the sound of the fiddle For the ones who fall - Like a cloudless sky reflected in a billow Learn a new step for each new Babylon (build the city of lies-lust-despair) 02. Pathfinders Music & lyrics by Aydan
Stand before the new born kind
There is a song, taken far by the winds A rhyme of poets, a melody Wrapped in a dream The elvensong has gone, to another realm Stand before the new born kind As young and fresh as the Spring in bloom The song is telling stories Every little is a gain Tells of joy, it tells of pain Pathfinders...searching for new scents We are pathfinders! Rulers of a reign without throne and crown "Thou will shall be done!" Beyond our bounds, wondering, seeking and roaming the unbeaten paths Face future learning from the past Lay down no bounds to the things you can do Everything's in your hand, look up to the Moon All we are gathering, shall we not fall We'll hold (we'll hold on) we will meet again This time my dear old friend Singing our song, we went abreast We plunged into a deeply cloven track May the stars shine upon the end of road, now you can't tide Stand before the new born kind As young and fresh as the Spring in bloom The song is telling stories Every little is a gain Tells of joy, it tells of pain Pathfinders...searching for emotions We are pathfinders! Rulers of a reign without throne and crown "Thou will shall be done!" beyond our bounds Wondering, seeking and roaming the unbeaten paths Face future learning from the past Lay down no bounds to the things you can do Everything's in your hand, look up to the Moon All we are gathering, shall we not fall We'll hold (we'll hold on) we will meet again This time my dear old friend If you can't express what you feel within remember not only words can speak If a pen killed more than sword let this tune be your own word! A new journey begins each time (hear my call) You draw lots for new things to find We are willing to endure the chance Lay down no bounds... 03. Jigsaw Puzzle Music & lyrics by Jarpen
Take a look at the new rules of this game
Wicked laughters are feeding their fame Hearing the cries from the empty shells Unmoved they seem Hungry for turmoil and wedges Ivy-clad so that we can't see One peace at a time they steal Collecting memories Notch up another victory Upon our shoulders and true beliefs With wheedling words they reign So sweet is our decay Raise your voice Aim as high as they can't see Now you can say: "Speak your last word, speak your last word!" Born in the garden of overgrown madness We still search what remains of our lives Scattered pieces for their jigsaw puzzle Swapping destinies Whencesoever they derive their powers Where all hopes are misled and repressed Vowing to break from the hardest chains Tearless they seem Prophets of doom Playing god, how does it feel? The fate of Sky and Earth awaits their sentence too Shattered we are Sold and bought in the Merchants' fair Beneath hard flesh it burns Beware of our hate! 04. The Silk Dilemma Music & lyrics by Aydan
Long the shores of a silent stream
I'm picking up pieces of my life Finding out I was living my own dream, beginning once again I searched for themes that I never knew before It's like roaming a forest in winter, searching buds buried in snow I learnt new languages, new forms to proclaim All the will to be so sincere, not lying to myself again Roaming through forest's trees Creating a white snow trail on fallen leaves Oh Mother Moon, illuminate my return 'cause the road I took is so obscure Sinking and drowning in a sea of fears Showing compassion to the moan Already happened in day long gone The silk dilemma is the key, it's still for me One by one the lights fade out The fright-night covers all with her cloak You cannot name the colour of the dark I fall into a dream From the lands lying at the end of World I am bringing this dress as a gift, it is made with the purest silk She smiled at me, she never wore the dress Touching the fabric was like holding nothing in your hand Roaming through forest's trees Creating a white snow trail on fallen leaves Oh Mother Moon, illuminate my return 'cause the road I took is so obscure Sinking and drowning in a sea of fears Showing compassion to the moan Already happened in day long gone The silk dilemma is the key Hold my hand - 'til the sun set off I'm proud of what I've done At least the days I've spent are so totally unique 05. Disappearing Sands Music by Jarpen, Aydan Lyrics by Jarpen
At dawn the ships arrived, they sailed through seas and foreign skies
To bring another age in lands that needed no constraints By the sign of the fire, all pagan gods were bleeding To dispossess thousands years of wisdom and beliefs Think for a moment, fall astray First step on sand, meant the last of their old life ("now it's done, all is gone"), so pure With dignity all was carried on "What's this fighting for?" "Disappearing sands, familiar voices Everytime I stare at the night inside us, all the places I cherish darken Past memories are the only true consolation for what my eyes are forced to see" The tears in her eyes were like rain come from the gloomiest cloud Pushed back from their own homes, the germ of hate seized the heart In a clear warm spring day, his spirit left the body Alone she stood while the ravens flew away from ruins "Far till sky unites with earth I'll hide you They cannot dig what's inside of us Far till sky unites with earth I'll hide you They cannot dig what's inside of us" "My life for you, despair on us, despair on us" Think for a moment, fall astray First step on sand, meant the last of their old life ("now it's done, all is gone"), so pure, With dignity all was carried on "What's this fighting for?" "Disappearing sands, familiar voices Everytime I stare at the night inside us, all the places I cherish darken Past memories are the only true consolation for what my eyes are forced to see" 06. Moonchariot Music by Aydan, Damnagoras Lyrics by Aydan
I built a cradle for the Moon and from her chariot she grants my boon - I'll keep my promises, I'm sure
She won't betray me I'm bathed in her pale lightfall Perceiving like a distant call She whispers in my ears riddles I don't understand Enchanted by thy serene glow Oh, silent Lady let me know Of arcane doctrines and secrets to be not revealed You doodle Night with stains of stars Shining arabesques so far Recite your rhymes, and tell me how to Find my way through the endless starways Far away as man could understand I will show my respect Prey upon - to release your anger Lay upon - my mind Painted in the sky, as magic as a silver chariot Take me on and on You and I asleep in my haven, shettered by an archway of trees, and when you wake up, I'd rather be there, standing by your side A comet rends this summer sky like a tear falls from Her eye I feel my heart brakes, the Nightroof is my own refuge Follow the steps of a pagan Against who won't understand at all and what I've learned is how to Find my way, through the endless starways Far away as man could understand I will show my respect Prey upon - to release your anger Lay upon - my mind Painted in the sky, as magic as a silver chariot Take me on and on You and I asleep in my haven, shettered by an archway of trees, and when you wake up, I'd rather be there, standing by your side They're mocking me, they're fighting me I'm falling on my knees They're celebrating victory Let 'em do it as they please They can mock me, they can fight me I will pick up off the ground Again I stand before my enemies can't let me down Painted in the sky, as magic, as a silver chariot Take me on and on... 07. The Perpetual Knot Music & lyrics by Aydan
And this journey begins with the beat of wings of lark
Her wake ravishing - skyforged spark Gold-leaves are falling, all beasts are howling, the signs are clear! The forces are near, the crows say that someone will die Embraces and fear, they tell no lies Searching for new roads, sacrifice your blood, the signs are clear! Eyes in the darkness, they watch, they follow you The Spirits guide your soul all through the clues Eyes in the darkness Now hear the Sisters' voice, you are free to choose your fate, now make your choice Through the seven seas our quest goes, pale moon our guide Walking the trails of the perpetual knot Roughly carved tree-trunks are shining in fading lights May you read the meanings, it's your lot The journey comes to an end, the lark plunged with sun into sea All you love and defend belongs to you and me Pagan traditions of forgotten missions, the signs are clear! Eyes in the darkness, they watch, they follow you The Spirits guide your soul all through the clues Eyes in the darkness Now hear the Sisters' voice, you are free to choose your fate, now make your choice Through the seven seas our quest goes, pale moon our guide Walking the trails of the perpetual knot Roughly carved tree-trunks are shining in fading lights May you read the meanings Through the seven seas our quest goes, pale moon our guide Walking the trails of the perpetual knot Search for the fibres, the dwelling light net of Wyrd Roaming souls on branch of Mother Earth 08. Another Haven Music & lyrics by Jarpen
Serenity
Broken and twisted Displaying sharp claws in the name of liberty Primordial greed Disguised as good purpose Always stood as a trademark of our breed History shows how to avoid all the sorrow, and its teachings we all should borrow All the fears of the past still lay close Far away the horizon twinkles with fragments of hope Far away some clay is left to mould another haven Watching powerless a flow of deeds that is always the same A freakshow from heaven sent Witnessing the rise and fall of the lessons we learned They all seem forgotten All wrongs and mischiefs, still are carried within Blinded in front of our tears I just feel free Merged into this rhyme Inoffensive like a fallen stingless bee Everyday I discover the fire Burning deep like an undead pyre Still it feeds all the tragedies of time Far away the horizon twinkles with fragments of hope Far away some clay is left to mould another haven Watching powerless a flow of deeds that is always the same A freakshow from heaven sent Witnessing the rise and fall of the lessons we learned They all seem forgotten All wrongs and mischiefs, still are carried within Blinded in front of our tears Everyday I discover the fire Burning deep like an undead pyre Still it feeds all the tragedies of time Far away the horizon twinkles with fragments of hope Far away some clay is left to mould another haven Watching powerless a flow of deeds that is always the same A freakshow from heaven sent Witnessing the rise and fall of the lessons we learned They all seem forgotten All wrongs and mischiefs, still are carried within Blinded in front of our tears Blinded in front of our tears Blinded in front of our tears 09. A Fiery Stride Music by Jarpen, Aydan Lyrics by Jarpen
Follow again one single piece of dream afar
Spent my all whole life there, chasing the hope A drive so strong, so deep I cannot see the end Inborn sense of finding what's beyond, in the furious storm Reunifying with air and soil I am part of Distant yet so close! Longing for a whisper that would carry me away Faced my ultimate desire that was swirling through the mazes of my mind Watch my gold, it can be never bought or sold Made up and collected through the years from emotions and dreams A noble line I carry on Exploring the ways I never saw Longing for a whisper that would carry me away Faced my ultimate desire that was swirling through the mazes of my mind Reunifying with air and soil I am part of Distant yet so close! Longing for a whisper that would carry me away Faced my ultimate desire that was swirling through the mazes of my mind If you were given chance to fly would you retain your tears of joy? Pushed as far as any wind will go, a fiery stride to the sun Clearing my path from anything that leads me to a fall On the brink of loneliness, I faced the illusion of leaving from the flock On this one way trail to unfolding new worlds 10. Midnight Circus Music & lyrics by Aydan
Gone from this world to find knowledge or pain
I follow myself from a distant and fading dream Loving her brightness so dear to me it makes me to look further in To enter a world hidden far from home Hushing the fears, I can see with blinded eyes Nearby the circus this time I won't pass! Where all the fears and indifference lie A warm place to drown your own need to find the questions that bury your mind You won't find the answers to life this way Now turn your head, step back from the jesters, run! A quest that only some would take It grabs our soul if there is one Could it be that we're left alone? Or guided by the moonlight? Runaway runaway runaway, from this midnight circus On this ride on this tide I am crawling deep inside and fair wind's awaiting me Fallen away from the chains of my mind It's my own choice to attain the truth Free from all wavering I hear a song Go far ahead, you will hear a harmony carved into life Few final steps Dream on... Runaway runaway runaway, from this midnight circus On this ride on this tide I am crawling deep inside and fair wind's awaiting me Runaway runaway runaway, from this midnight circus On this ride on this tide I am crawling deep inside and fair wind's awaiting me A quest that only some would take It grabs our soul if there is one Could it be that we're left alone? Or guided by the moonlight? Burning constellation on this trail to the unknown I just keep on questoning for an answer never told Darker than the night is the way we're passing through Courage and faith it takes to make it last that far It may ends for tomorrow or it may take a lifetime Dream on... 11. A Poem For The Firmament Music by Aydan, Jarpen Lyrics by Aydan
It's simply too hard to blow out all these fragments of star
The dawn never shines I'm condemned to this eternal night Fly away, far away Oh, whence I could feel you whole There's a light in your eyes I'll follow A spark of endless dreams There's a light in your eyes while you're holding me tight it enriches my life, it holds me spellbound It crawls all inside It's the wish to back down and hide Like the calm sea It's the haven of forces within Fly away, far away Oh, up this path I rode I was searching for a reason I lost the thread of tale Fly away, far away Oh, whence I could feel you whole There's a light in your eyes I'll follow A spark of endless dreams There's a light in your eyes while you're holding me tight It enriches my life, holds me spellbound On the scars of old runes, thousands of forgotten memories and hopes are carved in stone, symbols of my childhood gone, on the wind floats a dream and hundreds of my broken promises and oaths, taken by the stream, artefacts of what I was Read the signs on the trees, written by golden leaves Winds are howling their serenades Ancient chants singing all the good aims I betrayed Another night has passed, and with it all the fears and dreads are gone, and the shadows have faded Clouds are leaving the sky, the horizon point out new ways to be found There is always a trail to follow, and it will take you home Follow all the scents before light passes away Long before the shadows fall as covering miles in the distance you will see What you searched, you will catch sight of your dreams Dwelling forevermore, wander aimlessly It's the fatal falling, on the path we choose We're searching for answers that never appear We're searching for lands beyond all limits, we're falling! Millions of emotions have passed through my heart since I'm on this Earth But the ones that remain are the ones we're living for It's the sweetest Night of all It's a moment that lengthens to eternity and more While the flakes soundless will fall I hear the sound of laugther coming from so high above, and the promise once made, now it's broken The curtain slowly falls on the angel that kissed me It's the Night of cruel remorse It remains only a distant memory of things undone A return to innocence A travel back in time when everything seems clear and pure, and the promise once made, now it's broken The curtain slowly falls on the angel that kissed me Cursed, cursed That lone and threadlike figure So shapelessly unbounded Will haunt that empty jar That is me Cursed, cursed I'm deep into transparency A dreamy spiral staircase A voice, a whisper echo in the gloom Cursed, cursed I sharpen all my sleeping senses Encircle my own wish I'll never die! Cursed, cursed A gloomy sense of sadness Impaled my arid heart To the sceptre of melancholy Cursed, cursed On the stroke of my halfhour The token has been shown Eternal wearing the Red Death masque! Thousand ways of living In the end I got my reward I don't feel alone no more Fly away, far away Oh, up this path I rode I was searching for a reason I lost the thread of tale Fly away, far away Oh, whence I could feel you whole There's a light in your eyes I'll follow A spark of endless dreams There's a light in your eyes while you're holding me tight It enriches my life, holds me spellbound ...and finally is day again... On the scars of old runes, thousands of forgotten memories and hopes are carved in stone, symbols of my childhood gone, on the wind floats a dream and hundreds of my broken promises and oaths, taken by the stream, artefacts of what I was Read the signs on the trees, written by golden leaves Winds are howling their serenades, Ancient chants singing all the good aims I betrayed It's the fatal falling, on the path we choose We're searching for answers that never appear We're searching for lands beyond all limits, we're falling! |
