On pathless ways you wither
And hope has flown away Rise before my sight In the great eternity Darkest obscurities No sun will ever shine again As the days of gold have passed Never to return Just like a dream too bright to last Is the curse of the red river See the raging torrent Wash your soul to the valley below To the graves Of the sea of oppression And see the bleak reflections Of the days that are no more From the dreadful shadows As the days of gold have passed Never to return Just like a dream too bright to last Are the beds of blood by the rivers of red As the days of gold have passed Never to return Just like a dream too bright to last Is the curse of the red river 02. Our Twilight
Remain in silence or death arrives
At strange doors we are now Quiet in tranquillity or everything breaks The bow is strung up No stepping forward, no stepping back Better to remain transfixed Balanced in calmness Lest one twig shall crack A brimful chalice Just one drop more And everything cascades Benighted stillness Elusive daylight Escape in masquerade A brimful chalice Just one drop more And everything cascades Benighted stillness Elusive daylight It's our twilight Devoid of strength It is lingering No voice, no words One move to deceive the haven God-forsaken without lucky stars Soon to breathe but not yet In silence to endure this Or our twilight A brimful chalice Just one drop more And everything cascades Benighted stillness Elusive daylight Escape in masquerade A brimful chalice Just one drop more And everything cascades Benighted stillness Elusive daylight It's our twilight 03. Forlorn Waves Music & lyrics by Mårtenson
Without a sound
Saw the eagle rising The bringer of storms Under dark clouds flying The forlorn waves rowing ashore The island with no name Many a ship Here lost its way A few return From the cross swell may Brave men of old Their screams now silent Forever gone As the sea embraced them The forlorn waves rowing ashore The island with no name A man unknown Sailor of the seas Cast overboard Here he found his peace The forlorn waves rowing ashore The island with no name 04. Flicker Music & lyrics by Perttilä
I could hold that hand no more
I turned away and tried to swim back to the shore To let go of joy and fear Forsaking all that will melt down to tears Forever shifting place and time Caught in delusion This dream is only mine Released from All sorrow You bring tonight Reflecting A sunrise As I close my eyes In the distance for evermore Swimming miles and miles to never reach the shore Last flicker of reality All I can portray is only real to me Released from All sorrow You bring tonight Reflecting A sunrise As I close my eyes Drifting with True wonders To never touch the ground Merge sorrow With beauty As I close my eyes Another truth A different sun No infinity could be the only one So I embrace The other side And it hits me with sunlight And shatters the space Purpose and time Rejoice this night Is shifting worlds A thousand suns No one can share this end of time Released from All sorrow You bring tonight Reflecting A sunrise As I close my eyes Drifting with True wonders To never touch the ground Merge sorrow With beauty As I close my eyes 05. The Leer Music by Laine Lyrics by Laine & Koskinen
Stream of time has been broken
Blessed is the infernal soul Dark desire has awoken And I see the angels fall In the moments of silence As the wind has abated The clouds of black come in sight Down pour the tears of god From beyond the end is creeping Fleeing bliss redressed by agony From above the eye is leering For what has been and what will ever be In the moments of silence As the wind has abated The clouds of black come in sight Down pour the tears of god Sailing down on the tears of god On the way to oblivion And we sleep without dreaming In the eternal wake of the leer From beyond the end is creeping From above the eye is leering In the moments of silence As the wind has abated The clouds of black come in sight Down pour the tears of god Sailing down on the tears of god On the way to oblivion And we sleep without dreaming In the eternal wake of the leer 06. The Ritual Of Dawn Music by Mårtenson Lyrics by Jussi K. Niemelä
Wash her
Kiss her Feel my Thunder She's gone Like my wrath She's gone You scream Watch me Kneeling Touch her She's here Heat fire She's here Summoning me Blessing our grief My love Lie down Praying Worship Dying My life Bleeding My life Sleeping Weeping Hear my Silence She's gone Fire She's gone Hold the candles and slay the sky Take her home Sanctify Curse the darkness to make it right Watch the dawn, closing her eyes See it shine See me rise Like the sun Breeding life Make her sleep In my heart There she waits Fire And I feel the rays Closing in on me And her spirit stays Fire Summoning me Blessing our grief My love 07. Ere All Perish Music by Laine Lyrics by Laine & Kotamäki
With words of scorn they call
Through the times they burn Where they go death always follows Through the skies like the wind they storm Birds of doom Filled with a holy rage against you all With words of scorn they call The stranger is an enemy Servants of a false god they are Holders of innocence Drowned in blood Blameless observers of eternity Drowned in blood In the hopeless land of no return Through the times they'll burn The stranger is an enemy Servants of a false god they are Holders of innocence Drowned in blood With words of scorn they call Through the times they burn Where they go death always follows Through the fire their passage goes Years turn to black At the dawn of the coming times Where they go death follows The stranger is an enemy Servants of a false god they are Holders of innocence Drowned in blood 08. Cold Earth Chamber Music & lyrics by Tarvonen
What grief and obscurity surround my soul
Like an autumn night on a barren earth? Insignificant to suffer here The struggle is so futile and eternal No heaven I desire nor the night of inferno Never indulge a wench in my arms Away from the sense of despair All in all the soundless void (Hearken now what I beg) Build a house of the underworld My dwelling in earth is to hide Dig my grave near the guarding elms And cover it with black gems Then forever leave my court In peace I want to rest A hill shall never mount on my grave But the earth turns under the meadow None shall know my resting chamber Under the frosted elm Build a house of the underworld My dwelling in earth is to hide 09. Deserted Morrows Music & lyrics by Laine
The pining silence
Crying from solitude Wandering pathways Waving from grass Beside the fence Lies the mortal clay The echoes from the past Flavoured by dismay Bleed for the one Who scattered in sorrow The stars above her Foreshadowed a lorn tomorrow And as I'm crawling Across this weedy acres Towards the dismal calm That in the soil awaits Each morn a thousand Heartaches will bring Moreover to the woes Of yesterday The pining silence Crying from solitude Wandering pathways Waving from grass Bleed for the one Who scattered in sorrow The stars above her Foreshadowed a lorn tomorrow And as I'm crawling Across this weedy acres Towards the dismal calm That in the soil awaits By day I find no comfort Nor repose by night The stars are calling Luring with their divine light Bleed for the one Who scattered in sorrow The stars above her Foreshadowed deserted morrows |
