Lost In Thought - Opus Arise lyrics



Tracks



01. Beyond The Flames

Dreaming, or so it seems,
Where unwelcome visions won't cease to be
When all is lost and nothing's free,
We dance through the flames for eternity

In the mist it burns my eyes
Demons hide behind a disguise
I must break free beyond the flames!

I'm drifting, I'm slipping
Through the world that has no end
I'm learning about the journey set before me

Obscuring shadows in the night
Teach me of my destiny
Help me to save my soul,
See what the future holds

No seasons change in this forgotten place
My mind is so overthrown
There must be hope and some peace for me
Oh God, can't you hear me?!

In this realm where demons roam
Lost souls, they call this home
I must break free beyond the flames!

Obscuring shadows in the night
Teach me of my destiny
Help me to save my soul,
See what the future holds

Obscuring shadows in the night
Teach me of my destiny
Help me to save my soul,
See what the future holds

I'm all alone, I've walked the same road
I tried to make sense of all these thoughts
Endless pain!
It tears me up inside
It makes me feel there's nowhere,
Nowhere left to hide!

Obscuring shadows in the night
Teach me of my destiny
Help me to save my soul,
See what the future holds

Obscuring shadows in the night
Teach me of my destiny
Help me to save my soul,
See what the future holds

Figures appear in the night,
They've taught me of my destiny
And helped me to save my soul
Beyond the flames and misery!

02. Entity

(Who's there?)

I lie awake at night
I feel its touch come over me
(The clock strikes my calling hour
I choose your soul to devour!)
Why can't you find your peace?
My soul is mine, which you cannot keep
(I must consume life to remain
I'll cut like a knife to enter your domain!)

Possessed by an immortal entity
There's no peace for me!

An unknown being wants to reside within my soul
(To take hold of your sanctuary,
To distance you from reality!)
Banish this vile creature
To a realm where it must stay!
(You can't defy my presence
My withered touch is your life's essence!)

Possessed by an immortal entity
There's no peace for me!

"Dear Lord, I pray to you in this time of need
A creature is conspiring its demonic opus,
Wanting to claim my soul, wanting to arise..."

Why must it be this way?
Why isn't there an answer to my prayers today?
This entity overwhelms my being
It seeks to consume me,
To make our auras trapped as one
For all eternity!

03. Blood Red Diamond

She told herself she would prevail
Across the sands, beyond the seas
She was looking for the answers
To make herself complete
She's searching for the stone
A jewel lost in time

With an angel beside her
To help her through the void,
she sees it waiting there
As the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
For the blood red diamond

The ancients cast the sands of time
Her pain was lost in an endless shine
She lays herself to rest
In an enchanting glow she'll remain obsessed
She was longing for the stone
A jewel lost in time

With an angel beside her
To help her through the void,
She sees it waiting there
As the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
For the blood red diamond

There are no exceptions
They all wither
Those who lust for the blood red diamond

With an angel beside her
To help her through the void,
She sees it waiting there
As the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
For the blood red diamond

Blood red diamond
She'd give her life

Blood red diamond
She'd give her life

04. Seek To Find

All alone I had a dream
There's questions inside
In my vision it was you
Standing by my side
For I have been forsaken
By decisions in my past
I must relinquish my choices
To be with you at last

I'm searching for you
I seek to find your heart
To see you right beside me,
I'd play my part
I'm standing waiting
I seek to find our destinies
To make our futures set in stone,
To soar and be free

I seek to find our destinies
I seek to find a place called home
I seek to find you next to me
United hearts forever more!

I just need to see your face
Call out to me now
I know we would find a way somehow
Take me to the place where we'd be eternal!

I'm searching for you
I seek to find your heart
To see you right beside me,
I'd play my part
I'm standing waiting
I seek to find our destinies
To make our futures set in stone,
To soar and be free

I seek to find our destinies
I seek to find a place called home
I seek to find you next to me
United hearts forever more!

I wish I could see you
And hold the world in my hands
I'm left out in the cold!

I seek to find our destinies
I seek to find a place called home
I seek to find you next to me
United hearts forever more!

05. New Times Awaken

Without you here,
Loneliness is now my friend
My memories pacing
I'm scared that this may be the end
The truth I'm facing
I close my eyes and try to pretend

I chase the moment
Around a maze that never seems to end,
Taking steps to walk along
The empty path of descent
I'm slowly fading
Will this feeling cease to be?
I need to change right here, right now
I won't look back, I must move on without you

New times awaken
I won't be broken

New times awaken
I won't be broken

06. Delusional Abyss

In my dreams these words unfold
An endless journey to behold
I'll learn what life I'll lead through mystery.
Now I see past destiny
My life's set out before me
It's calling me!

All thoughts suppressing
Awake me from this dream
Set me free, take me far away
Take my hand! I'm so afraid!

My journey through the empty space
I find myself alone!
I wake to find no peace of mind
It's in my head, it seeks my soul

Contained in this place, a lonely soul
My only hope is to get home
Stranded in this plain divides us two
I'll get back to you
I need you here beside me to change my destiny
I must be free
Take me far away
Take my hand! I'm so afraid!

My journey through the empty space
I find myself alone!
I wake to find no peace of mind
It's in my head, it seeks my soul

My journey past the empty space
You take me by the hand
I wake to find you next to me
You're in my head to guide me home

My journey from the empty space
Now I'm not alone!
I wake to find you next to me
(You next to me)
You saved my soul and brought me home!

07. Lost In Thoughts

Reflecting on my darkest times,
My greatest test of all
My friend and I were following
A stranger new to town
So eager to unveil his truths,
We set upon his home
As the cloak of night began to fall,
We started to hear

Blood-curdling screams
Echoed through the night
Compelled to investigate
As we drew near, stopped in our paths
By noises within stone's throw

All that we saw were lucid shadows
From here my ordeal begins
As darkness began to manifest
Ivory skin, living undead
Skin so bitter it bears the coldest touch
At the blink of an eye,
We were surrounded by beasts of the night
An evil horde that came to abolish
Next thing that I knew, my friend was taken down
He laid there pale and still,
Pierced by a scathing kiss

Searching through the night to find the sun
I'm forever lost in thoughts
My state of mind, it haunts me
Trapped in darkness where these beasts all gather
I must resume my ways and avoid the cursed shadows

Searching through the night to find the sun
I'm forever lost in thoughts
My state of mind, it haunts me
Trapped in darkness where these beasts all gather
I must resume my ways and avoid the cursed shadows

I'm standing here all on my own
My fears have all come to me
From a friend, now to foe
I must stand and fight
To rid us all of this evil
None must survive in the kingdom of the night!

Behold tainted nights, so dark and bitter
I try to escape my thoughts
I'm lost in eternal shadows
Yet my time may come to walk beside them,
To exist forever until the light consumes me

08. Assimulate, Destroy

He heard the voices calling
His brothers lay around
Reaching for the skies, wanting to be free
That was the time the righteous made their stand
The whole world was shaking
Judgement was at hand

Awaken, crusaders!
(Crusaders!)
Ensnare the flames within your eyes!
(Eyes!)
Assimulate, destroy!
(To destroy!)
Behold the fury, we will rise!
(We will rise!)

Crusaders fought for justice in the Father's name
With his eternal glory,
The tyrant's sins were cleansed
They held their spirits high
By his command they did surely die!

Awaken, crusaders!
(Crusaders!)
Ensnare the flames within your eyes!
(Your eyes!)
Assimulate, destroy!
(To destroy!)
Behold the fury, we will rise!
(We will rise!)

"This day determines our fate.
If need be, we'll give the ultimate sacrifice,
For under God's watch we shall be protected
And nothing can harm us.
If this is our God's kingdom,
Then let the Gods decide who wins here this day,
Though our kingdom shall be for all eternity!
Crusaders! What do I see before me?
I see an army ready to make a stand for what we believe!
Our banners shall own the sky.
Brothers, we stand here today under God's eyes,
For in the first place they are here
Just like us: to achieve their salvation!"

(Assimulate)
(Assimulate)
Assimulate! Destroy!
