Visions Of Atlantis - Ethera lyrics



Tracks



01. The Ark

The waves are as huge
As they never where before
Crossing silently the summits
Of those now parting sea from shore
Waiting for the sun
It's glittering on a velvet rug
World's end was full of riot
Like an apocalyptic drug
Human kind with all machines
Just too blind within its dreams
Hundred years of worthless lore
Mayas knew so long before

This is the entrance, the past awakes
Another culture, another dominion breaks
This is the end, this is our way
There's nothing left and nothing left to say

Standing on this ark
And heading for a new horizon
Eliding ruins of the old world
Underneath is advising
Heed the drone of this machine
A postponing elegy...

This is the entrance, the past awakes
Another culture, another dominion breaks
This is the end, this is our way
There's nothing left and nothing left to say

02. Machinage

The mouth full of dust and dare
To walk out to the void
Pressure six feed over producing shell moulds
What a tragic toil
Lasting memories on a world full of remedies
Transposing all humanities for cold Moon's Earth
Aseptic increase
Wake me up from the dead
They're walking in cadence instead
Slavery, veins not red
Lustrous alloys composing dread

Just another world to fall
Just another one to crawl
For a machine-age
Another's drama's stage
Just another thing to do
Another Hell to go through
It's the end and start
Another game of rage

Created by the ones to think
That man and sky collide
Like the deepest of emotions
Like the war of shore and tide
Lasting century without humanity
Times of dread and me
Just praying for torpidity

To stand machinery... exit: elegy
Break and stop, wake it up
Releasing Devil's final lock
Hell and Heaven to collide
Again the war of shore and tide

Just another world to fall
Just another one to crawl
For a machine-age
Another's drama's stage
Just another thing to do
Another Hell to go through
It's the end and start
Another game of rage
There was this desire
The control of fire
Developed to wire
You never knew
Devotion for sire
Exposing a liar
Mankind to expire
There's nothing to do!
Just another world to fall
Just another one to crawl
For a machine-age
Another's drama's stage
Just another thing to do
Another Hell to go through
It's the end and start
Another game of rage

03. Avatara

I used to believe
In the good of mankind
These days there's no strength left
My soul turned to grey
Optimism means pain
There is nothing else for it
But to resign

Do not despair I am the wind
Just open up your wings feel free
I am your light in joy and grief
I am your fantasy

Bright light someone's
Calling my name (Someone's calling my name)
Shall I follow, shall I obey (Step into the bright light)
There is no choice I cannot stay
Can't remember my name
Only pray for salvation

Devastated no future
No reasons to live on
All ups turned into downs soon
Relieve me at once
My soul turned to grey
Optimism means pain
There is nothing else for it but to die

Do not despair I am the wind
Just open up your wings feel free
I am your light in joy and grief
I am your fantasy

Bright light someone's
Calling my name (Someone's calling my name)
Shall I follow, shall I obey (Step into the bright light)
There is no choice I cannot stay
Can't remember my name
Only pray for salvation

An inner voice so strong
Believe in me
My guardian angel I'm free
You're guiding me
My guardian angel

Follow me into the light
Free us from our agony
Follow the avatara

To a peaceful glory life
Let our souls become free
Guided by the avatara

04. Vicious Circle

Lying awake again
Feeling the emptiness
In your life
Nothing but the rain
Outside
No one is left behind
Who will remind you
To survive
And nothing but the rain outside

Lost inside your thoughts
About your past
Those that you wanted so bad to last
And now that you understand those things
We're real and start to feel
You've been wasting your life away

(Forever)
How much more it will take
(And ever)
This vicious circle to break

So dare a look in the mirror
And see what you've become
Just one miserable human
No need to ask how come
No need to ask how come

And you're still yearning
For your past that wouldn't last
It's gone so fast
And now you understand that all
Was real and start to feel you've
Been wasting your life away

(Forever)
How much more it will take
(And ever)
This vicious circle to break

It's not the time to stop believing
In things in life that worth the living

Live your fantasy
Never try to see all the
Things you meant to see

Open up your eyes
Try to realize time is running fast

Why? Can't you hear your
Screams hunting all your dreams
Always trying to find your
Way back to Heaven

Heard it all before
Hit again the floor
Wake up and you've still
Wasted all your life away

Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Ever, ever and ever

05. Hypnotized

Fading in this world of hating
There's no one to trust
Innocence's lost there's only lust

And they made us promise
That we'll always believe
In foolish gods that don't forgive

Don't you think it's time
To reveal us the truth?
Poisoning our skies is just
What you created

Like hypnotized
Empty and blindfolded
We walk upon our lives
(Don't you notice?)
Like hypnotized
Giving our dreams and
Youth away for golden lies

Waiting for a chance to break
These chains that keep my heart
Buried and lost out in the dark

Still they made you promise
Not to seek for the light
Give it all up no need to fight

Don't you think it's time
To reveal us the truth?
If you want my soul
Why don't you come and get it?

Like hypnotized
Empty and blindfolded
We walk upon our lives
(Don't you notice?)
Like hypnotized
Giving our dreams and
Youth away for golden lies

I only see the light through you
It's all that matters
Tell me that it's alright...
Will you comfort me?
And then care for me?
I just need to believe...

Like hypnotized
Giving our dreams and
Youth away for golden lies
Don't you notice?

Skies are fading
My heart is breaking
Empty and blindfold we
Walk upon our lives
I just need to believe

06. Tlaluc's Grace

In a world where all are trembling
And a clan slowly descending...
Wandering through branches and grove
Unbearable heat we feel
For their sake we are now the trove
Never count how much they kill

It's an honour to die this way
For Tlaloc's mercy you will pay
Brittle branches promise hunger and pain
More immolation promises rain

If there are gods and we're their progenies
There must be memories, memories
Tragic end of misery...
If there was rain without the tears they need
To end this slavery, slavery our fate is sealed

For the words of the oracle we're waiting
The death of the sun we're anticipating
For rain and crop we're supplicating
It's worth the children's pain so aching

Like black birds they're locked up in cages
Still no rain, no grace, no wages
Gods not answering any prayers
For nothing killing, so futureless

If there are gods and we're their progenies
There must be memories, memories
Tragic end of misery...
If there was rain without the tears they need
To end this slavery, slavery...
Our fate is sealed!

More and more, tasting fear and gore
Like opened wounds so sore cutting the final core...

If gods are tenting this sanctuary
Why is there slavery, slavery a tragic end of misery
If there was rain without the blood they need
Where is this memory, memory our fate is sealed!

07. Burden Of Divinity

Gathering the flora of previous night
Drawing the curtain with the dawning light
Scattering new seeds for a broaching day
With my chiming wings I tempt my own decay

See my equine wain
And how I reclaim the morning haze
Watch me following my own failing
My own yearning for ravage

There was a light inside the tide
I have been waiting for the clarity of humanity
There was a dream within the night
To feel the blight it's just a burden of divinity

When there's sway
Advantage is the only way
For a warm thought
They took from this staggering morrow fay

There was a light inside the tide
I have been waiting for the clarity of humanity
There was a dream within the night
To feel the blight it's just a burden of divinity

Sun and moon to fall apart
World to follow, how bizarre
God and men like strong and weak
Decadence just at its peak

There was a light inside the tide
I have been waiting for the clarity of humanity
There was a dream within the night
To feel the blight it's just a burden of divinity

08. Cave Behind The Waterfall

Dive in with me
In my soul's most valuable crypt
My only fear is
Will I see the light?
Will I even try to create it?

All this time I was hiding in the dark
Now I must be dreaming
Breathing slow in my
Cave behind the waterfall
Is that light I see?

Dive in with me
In my soul's most valuable crypt
My only fear is
Can I touch the light?
On my hands will burn like all my pride?

All this time I was hiding in the dark
Now I must be dreaming
Breathing slow in my
Cave behind the waterfall
Is that light I see?

Love is dead
All the feelings gone
In my heart you'll live forever

All this time I was hiding in the dark
Now I must be dreaming
Breathing slowly deep inside this
Cave behind the waterfall

09. A.E.O.N. 19th

Still a blind believe for raging memories
For a forced interpretation of these fearful sceneries
Creeping through the blood-soaked ruins, ethical disease
For a leadership on both sides of a river flowing deep
Restraining and gaining for rust and mud and blaming
Revelation, cremation for whole
Worlds peoples reputation

They're walking through madness and call the end
An aeon of tragic and God's descent
All ended November a waxing moon
And Aries guided them into doom

Cold the hands and cold the hearts and brains so blunt
For a basal viability and a new dawn they hunt
Listening to the impacts, testimonium of pain
Resting within ruined futures and the futureless to maim
Explain me, obtain thee, how rich the poor one's can be...
1813 still hurting and new fronts ruling, bursting

They're walking through madness and call the end
An aeon of tragic and God's descent
All ended November a waxing moon
And Aries guided them into doom

So many lives sacrificed but for nothing they have died
Strength to ride for a world killed by day and night
It's so many lives, a breathing sacrifice
But for what they died, an uncountable price
A pandemonium without a pendulum
System elementum without its ...cerium
They're walking through madness to be an aeon of my doom
Cerium lost and gone like the reaper's pendulum!

10. Bestiality vs. Integrity

Dreams like daydreaming, like secluding yourself
Dreams of something called native home
Full of bliss and full of wealth
Wherever this takes me and wherever this may end
Soon it breaks me cause it keeps nothing to understand
A witless process, fading like bad memories...
Around they focus
On something they would call it peace
After these atrocities...

Shadow of integrity is wandering
Through these fields of death
Fighting fire with a fire gun
Like taking your last breath

Nothing left inside, my mind so blown away
What asking God within this chaos
Don't dare guessing what he would say?
But still obeying, aborting rationality

Around they're praying
For something they will call it peace
After these atrocities

Shadow of integrity is wandering
Through these fields of death
Fighting fire with a fire gun
Like taking your last breath
Fighting fire with a fire gun
Like taking your last breath...

11. Clerics Emotion

Rising after world war three
From the dark and from ashes soon
All of them are forcing me
So much colder than the moon
Long gone a father's will
Threatened and prozium fill
Heart, soul, with ice and kill
Disabled emotion, zeal
I've spread my dreams under your feet
Tread softly cause you tread on my dreams

In this world of pain with nothing to gain
The most evil chain just built to maintain
In this time with no, no way to return
In dystopia dystopia we burn!

Walking with empty gazes and frozen feelings to the soil
Just afflicted by this sterile maze
Libria's a profane place to toil

I've spread my dreams under your feet
Tread softly cause you tread on my dreams

Trembling into consecution
reactive long-term doubtful fusion
Human racist evolution

In this world of pain with nothing to gain
The most evil chain just built to maintain
In this time with no, no way to return
In dystopia dystopia we burn!

If it's just per mill that there's one to feel
In a world of concrete and steel
If there's just one day, we're failing each way
There's no answer for nothing to pray

Libriaaa, my Shangri-la, nothing more
Hate and pain and war
Dreams are dead, the sky turns red
And solution is just vengeance instead...
In this world of pain with nothing to gain
The most evil chain is just built to maintain
In this time with no, no way to return
In dystopia
