Rage from a distance
The name unfamiliar Spikes reach the heart Time set for rewind The dark will rise Abandon your freedom Give up the right to find your true self Forsake your own reasons Forsaker Hand of a leader Bleached by snowfall Opposition is drugged The great end is sweeping in 02. The Longest Year Music & lyrics by Jonas Renkse
In the nights of old I always wished
In the longest year that had me down And I would freeze if you ever asked me That was my way Confront the guilt and try to overcome Do not go away I'm not there yet I can see fire When I fall behind When I give up My thoughts redefined How cold is the flame Of our uncompromising future How cold is the sun The city lights are fading still The coming sky so white And I'm the dark of this our new day This is my way Find the one This weight will hold me down How cold is the sun 03. Idle Blood Music & lyrics by Anders Nyström
You there
Bringer of my despair You are stagnation of hope and will O you personify loss and remorse And you hide until my fears reappear The love for life once bright Out of sight A burning fuse The only flame I have Fate's spiral down this curve Shall only serve The seeds growing my misery These wounds kill time My stuggle sublime Idle the blood A black state of mind All dreams left behind You claim to be my long absent friend You are the cancer that just moved in You come with the dark night of the soul But I am turning my back on you You know I do 04. Onward Into Battle Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
In the still eclipse
Every light is a heartbeat In the spring Where I watch The sudden change I find this so hard Onward into battle Time is growing so dark around me I, shallow one I burn us out Day by idle day Days at the sea My worlds are incomplete In the blind spot Where I saw you On the 4th at night 05. Liberation Music & lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Sold are the eyes I have
And cold is the wait for nothing And dark I write my name in a long line How is it possible for you to try It's coming true I've changed my name but I will pass it on to you Journey No present thoughts Coming day Darkest wave It's coming true I've changed my name but I will pass it on to you Our thoughts entwined You speak And I hear other words behind I wave from the edge of the pier And fade into the dreams of sleepers Marked I have had this stain for a long time We called on the bird long before 06. The Promise Of Deceit Music & lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Evening
Coming through the crowd I hold my head high Straining Out here dissonance surrounds I hold my head high I see the wings behind your back Burned all the maps to reach you Watching distant names I saw danger And then I felt the pressure Downfall This is our time The setting sun over all I ever had So when did you come to think That you would tell me that I have no one And when do you think that you Will give back the things that you owe me 07. Nephilim Music & lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Loving mother
He has come To take your son Listen How he strides the earth When only animals are awake When the shattering of ideals begin God of ruin Will come to you Fallen From the faded sky Nephilim comes through foul air And when morals will decline God of ruin Will come to you 08. New Night Music & lyrics by Jonas Renkse
The pledge
I've forgotten this time I am so uncertain That my heart will go on My beloved one If you were here you'd find That I'm not feeling well But that I will have to go on And though summer unwinds now I have no reason to follow I have only you My sun is pale My heart's old Why So quiet this new night There's a white cloud Under my eyelid My beloved one There is swirling dark Shrouding my freedom Cold is the undertone Hold my hand I'm in the waiting line Mute I stand Barren ground 09. Inheritance Music & lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Our inconvenient burden
It could be lifted off of us If we gave up To finally let go Of the free will that we were given Our graves Above the timberline Our names chalked The pressure of wealth No longer found The unforgiven void The forge in which our values burn The resting leech Our thinning minds In my abstinence I turn to nothing Let them inherit this fire now Lest they will forget that we were Ever here 10. Day & Then The Shade Music & lyrics by Jonas Renkse
I will rise
To dreams of freedom And avow To return the treason that came under your reign The day and then the shade I have slept Inside the season that froze within my grasp All my fears come into view There must be an end soon When every waking hour Is part of the lie I will rise Over glass cathedrals And let go With my eyes resting upon the nearing dark The day and then the shade I have slept Within the reason that kept me so remote Make a brand new vow In the heat of an evening The darkness swarms I was nothing, ever But red like the sun Dying down over the freeway Is the brand new sky Over the mountain ridge 11. Ashen Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Won't forgive your ways
I strip my mind with all but scorn The scales of madness mesmerize Voice your dead prayer Hey You used me But I had none to confide Under a vail of stars Where the darkness grows The pressure from the chain that you hold Me in Ornament of scars And the darkness rising Over the ashen stains that I hold within Did not forget the name I stripped my mind with all but you The scales of madness just before we die 12. Departer Music by Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse, Krister Linder
The blinding white
So far behind I am And running Over idle ground This evening I kept my word Did you I'm turning around Wait for your sound Only so far According to who Departer The journey of our lives I'm so slow (when did you first say) Compared to you Departer (I swear it's the truth) It's the month of July Brother In your eyes I was the stronger So how am I to cover you now Without shadowing your path This time I watch from the sidelines Your ghost in the limelight Face your fears And pierce the night So close If only you knew Defender The story of our lives I'm so rash (why would I swear) Compared to you Surrender (you know it's the truth) It's the path of our lives 13. Sold Heart Music & lyrics by Jonas Renske
When my heart stops
Will my wings unfold Did you know that I had no one but you When my eyes close Will your blood turn older Did you know that I had no one but you In the snow veil Where the ring of promise fell In the cool white air One stood abiding When the road turns Will my ghost find freedom Did you know that I had nothing So I... Sold my love Forgot the vow It feels like nothing comes to mind I pull the weight And sing That there's a new cloud over my grave Now I know That it did kill me when I could not have you Sold my heart |
