I flew beyond the sun before it was time
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell Waiting for you to pull me back in I almost had the world in my sight Lost love Bright eyes fading Faster than stars falling How can I tell you that i've failed Tell you I failed Falling from grace cause I've been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost in oblivion I tried to burrow a hole into the ground Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand The eyes of a child see no wrong Ignorant bliss impending doom Lost love Bright eyes fading Faster than stars falling How can I tell you that i've failed Tell you I failed Falling from grace cause I've been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost in oblivion Falling from grace cause I've been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost in oblivion 02. Divinations
It's gone away, it's gone away
It's gone for good And the spirit's shouting Camellia A primitive child of brilliant light Her magnet of wisdom is pulling Pulling faster, the fabric of time No escape, binding spirits No escape, trapped in time and space A rapid descent as the wormhole is entered The sin of calypsis surrounds me The fire's dancing in the silvery sea of breath Black rune that directs me Summon the soul of the specter No escape, binding spirits No escape, trapped in time and space Fire in the eye Reminiscing majesty No escape, binding spirits No escape, trapped in time and space Fire in the eye Reminiscing majesty 03. Quintessence
The demon skin is covered in fine mist
Opened his hand in my hand Holding my eyes to the future Hovering above myself Letting loose the guided Punching these holes in my head The space time paradigm Omnipresence Primal instincts Let it go Calling reason Finding you These wild hearts run Even deeper Burning through These wild hearts run Let it go Letting me free the quintessence In fine mist Opened his hand in center Holding my eyes to the future Hovering above myself Letting loose the guided Punching these holes in my head Losing my skin to the landslide Omnipresence Primal instinct Let it go Calling reason Finding you These wild hearts run Even deeper Burning through These wild hearts run Let it go Shield failure Speed farewell 04. The Czar
Don't stay run away
He has ordered assassination Don't stay run away The henchmen are gathered and waiting Don't stay run away Your role as usurper is found out Don't stay run away Tsarina has warned of the danger It's your own fault This is what we wanted It's your own fault This is where we lay By the light of the moon You must escape into the deep black of the night Fight the devil inside Enemies poison deep within my second sight Wasting valuable time Ride the tides of blood Illumination Beauties sudden hand Shattered crown Stretching arms up high We're on our way out now Leave the tsar to die Spiraling up through the crack in the sky Leaving material world behind I see your face in constellations The martyr is ending his life for mine 05. Ghost Of Karelia
Wrathful ones nine eyes gaze
Holding skulls Filled and laced With human blood Shades of darkened skies Emptiness Twilight holding through Offering Life in zenith Bulls blood shot eyes Flattened portrait of the night sky Feel crust hum Facing the North Vapor space Between heaven and Earth Wisdom and the knower A planet collide Divisible we fall Hear dirt waves Wading forth Vapor space How long has it been since we flew through the shadows I have walked on many other planets Sinister twin Choking on fear Bonded iron Sink to the core 06. Crack The Skye
Blessed visionary cut me with your sun
The rivers ran in blood Spark fueled to fire Deep within this endless void Searching for a sign The vessel forged inside me Watches over like the death of the moon Strike the shepherd Sheep will scatter Mountains of despair I can see the pain Its written all over your face The screaming arrows tear through my soul In the dawn your face is haunting White ghostly dreams Weight of worlds is on your shoulders Hear the voice of gold I can see the pain Its written all over your face Desperate heathens flock to sirens Guard your heartache well Momma don't let them take her Don't let them take her down Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one Her spirits too strong I can see the pain Its written all over your face I can see the pain You can make it all go away 07. The Last Baron
I'd guess they would say we can set this world ablaze
Please, please take my hand Please take my soul to rest So we can always be around It is hard to see Through all the haze at the top of the trees Hold my head on stable ground Watch as the Earth falls all around Please, please take my hand Please take my soul to rest So we can always be around Faltering foot steps Dead end path All that I need is this wise man's staff Encased in crystal he leads the way I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze Please, please take my hand Please take my soul to rest So we can always be around I guess they would say we can set the world ablaze Hold my head on stable ground Watch as the Earth falls all around Take my black soul Alive in the fires that burn my skin Guide my eyes all through this maze I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze All that I have seen Standing on the edge The foot of precipice Floating in the sea Past the king of swords Quickly to the shore The last baron The last baron Ghost of man surrounds me in my slumber I have no fear as your wing is my shelter Cyanide he craves Coursing through his veins Providing him with strength To see this to the end Afraid of psychic eyes Faith in mystic power The last baron The last baron Will he save me? Will he save me? I was standing staring at the world And I can't see it I was standing staring at the world And I still can't see it |
