And the ancient mystic words misled me...
They reached my hidden innocence
So the sweetest moments of the perfect beauty...
Turned to the hours of the deepest despair

I'm nothing but a shattered soul...I cannot see...
Been ravaged by the chaotic beauty
Ruined by the unreal temptations...I cannot flee...
I was betrayed by my own beliefs

And my heart betrayed all dead emotions...
I could hear my breath even if I did not breathe
Now the changing tides wash over me...
And the freezing breath breezes through me

I'm nothing but a shattered soul...I cannot see...
Been ravaged by the chaotic beauty
Ruined by the unreal temptations...I cannot flee...
I was betrayed by my own beliefs

I'm nothing but a shattered soul...
Been ravaged by the chaotic beauty...
Ruined by the unreal temptations...
I was betrayed by my own beliefs...

I can recall the sweet symphonies of my lost side
She filled my dreams with the enchanting aura
But the sweet days of delight were buried in dust
On the battle fields of the unholy hordes

Sometimes blood paints all to black...
And we can't see all the colours
Sometimes the blood of faith stains our hands...
And fills the grail of unholy

I can feel the warmth of those brightest nights
But the shadows still haunt my heart
Over and over again I can see her dying in my arms
Can I ever gather the shivers of my past?

Chorus

Kill...or be killed...
For your roots...and this land...
Live...for the Ancient ones...
Blood of faith...stains my hands

Now my long night is over
And the flames witness the new dawn
I'm on the northern throne all alone
Once again I'm here to face my painful past...
Without my queen of the northern star

Chorus

Kill...or be killed...
For your roots...and this land...
Live...for the Ancient ones...
Blood of faith...stains my hands

The dance of two free souls...
No more masquerades of mortals
Just you and me as nightly guests
At the dance hall of our last Autumn
Your look's so faithful, so brave...
As you feel our common pain
Our lives and love now in a single stream...
The stream of our last Autumn's grief

Together we lived our lives...
And together we will leave...
It shall be the final tie
Of our bloody seal...
We gave our secret promise
On the shore of our red streams...
The bloody oath of real love...
The oath of red falling leaves...

Your look's full of passion..
As the night kisses your skin
You close your eyes and also let me
Feel our common will
This crimson stream will be the final step
On the path of our mortal lives
You know our love is real...and oh yeah, so do I...so do I

Chorus

Chorus

I see the darkness falling on these fields
I feel the cold hands of the midwinter night
The claws of frost are plowing
The naked skin of mine
The painful harrow of the eclipse time

I see the angels falling...their wings so dark
The black spear of the night impales their hearts
I raise my hands towards the sky
And I feel the power of the glowing light

The seventh eclipse is burning
My flesh like the shining sun
Another star of the black heaven is going out
The goat of the shadows is praying
For the new black dawn to break
The seventh rain will wash all my years away

The fulfilment of this rite of night
Gives me the spirit of the northern pride
The children of the night are singing to me...
I'm one of them...forever free

Chorus

Chorus

I saw her standing by the crimson sea...
Her gazing was intense but so dead...
The teardrops corroded the soil...
She couldn't say a word to me...

I know I want to be the young bride of the crimson sea
I'm here to join the dark waves on this sacred night
I know I must return my heart to the Gods of the seas
To become the maiden of those crimson skies

Isolated by the silent thoughts...
They were too strong for her mind...
Misguided by the burning desires...
She couldn't resist them at all...

Chorus

I heard her whispers of remorse...
Her naive mind was much too weak...
Her fragile soul was hurt by the night too black...
All she wanted was to be a part of the sea...

When I'm in this state of mind
I'm wishing I am blind
Sometimes life is more than pain to me
I feel the power of my grief
Death would be such a relief
All the secrets that I hide
Would die with me

Depression is my only friend.
Will this torture never end?
Let me carry on to the dreamers' sky
I keep crying in my dreams.
Can you hear my endless screams?
When I fade away I fade, away.

Life is just a masquerade.
In dept to myself but I can't pay
Soon I'll call it all a day, away.
I've never felt what you call guilt
I still believe "do what thou wilt"
My sorrow will destroy the world I've built

This fluid on my cheek
It drains me, I get weak
My heart is cold and bleak..
Black blood, black tears

I'm crucified into my dreams
By the hurting nails of my memories
The sword of hate incises...I bleed

And their eyes...
Their look burnt into my mind...
Full of conceit...and despise

The tears of my bitterness
Form the river of my pain
That wildly streams
Towards the sea of hate

And their voices...
They make my soul bleed...
And the anger inside me will breed

All my life I've grown those roses of rage
I'm the bastard son of hate...
Blood of mine as black
As those flowers of death
In my veins flows the tar of Chaos

Once you hurt me
Now it's my turn to join the game
Isn't that lovely feeling
Tto feel the blade of hate?

On the street of the black lanterns
I rape your soul with joy
Just like you did it to me before...

Chorus

The flowing stream...
A shape of a woman on its shore
She's washing my cloak
Which was stained by the clay of time

Her eyes are so sad and full of grief
A flow of tears running on her cheek
Her look tells me it all...
Soon it'll be the time to leave

Three questions...
I still had in my confused mind
She answered to me
With the riddles of time

She took my hand...
Without saying a word to me...
...and we fell...
Into depths of the stream

Changing this all...it's just an eternal dream
To raise the misty curtain of night
I take the key...which will set me free
That's the final way I still could find

I'm waiting for my sweet Bhיan Sidhe
Who will take me into her realm of Hades
At the gate of flames they call me by my name
I'll be one with fire...again

I'm falling...recalling my only lighter moments of life
I'm yearning...and dreaming of warm embrace of my childhood time

My darkened past uncovered
was buried in those shades of night
I heard the silent whispers
Which lulled me to eternal sleep

No more waiting...No more yearning...
Someone else will take my place
Bhיan Sidhe has returned
To the shore of Hades

When the veil of night covers
The whitest orchids of the night
I feel the darkest velvet in my arms

I follow the calling tune
The strains of the darkest night
And enjoy the silent song of a nightingale

I raise the silver goblet full of the nightly dew
And feel the sweetest taste of the darkest tears

The Dark wind of time is blowing...
Years are passing by...
But the sounds of night remain the same...

I see valkyrias dancing
With rays of the crescent's light
Their dance is so enchanting...so wild
They come to share the last dance with me
Accompanied by the nocturnal strains

How could I live, if night faded away?
I would lose my shield and the place to hide...
It would be the end of my way
From the first dusk till the last dawn...

The Dark wind of time is blowing...
Years are passing by...
But the sounds of the night remain the same...

I see valkyrias dancing
With rays of the crescent's light
Their dance is so enchanting...so wild
They come to share the last dance with me
Accompanied by the nocturnal strains

As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze

Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Look the old man in his eyes
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave

Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Alone with the questions, an outcast for many years
He has seen those marble archways and the avenue of crimson tears
Now shadows are staring at him but he turns his face away
They remind him of his true self, gone with the first winter day

Yesterday's like a dream and tomorrow's like a mirage
When's the time to get eternal rest? When's the endless roaming over?

His frequent groans were only silent whispers in the whirlwind
He ended up in this timeless race just for his father's sins
On his father's grave he swore: "I'll accomplish your endless task"
But his wings were burnt by the sunlight and his mirth hiding behind the mask

Then he heard the stentorian noise beyond the mountains
The ancient coronach of flora and fauna
He remembered an old gnostic tale of the coruscating crystal of tranquillity

He had travelled through time, seen the runes of the light and the dark
He found the answer to his questions: "How to free his chained heart"
The eternal one can finally rest, he is one of the mortals now
The beauty of the crystal glowing and his eyes shining with it, somehow

Yesterday's like a dream and tomorrow's like a mirage
Now's the time to get eternal rest, now's the endless roaming over

Like a mother takes care of her children, the nightwind cries for her
Hear those silent whispers... Like an infant's very first words
Light a candle for those who once were, and the dreams that never came true
Hear the silent crying of souls who lost their way home

See a child and how he dies under the shade of a birch
The silent nightwind's lullaby rocks the cradle of this world

Like a falling star of darkness gives the final sign of its life
This forsaken child of the full moon searching for a peaceful place to die
He sees a tree, the mighty one, like the one of his early years
Now he feels the safe under the tree and calls his mother wind

See the circle of light and the child and his heart full of nightly peace
Hear the divine tune, the prettiest one, the nightwind's nightly verse
Light a candle for those who once were (and their) hopeful dreams that never came true
Hear the silent weeping of souls who lost their way home

Walking towards the night... The flames once burnt inside
Back then I was alive when the fire walked by my side
The screaming fire burnt the leaves of mine and left the ashes of divine
All the leaves contained my name The shadows took them and carried away

Firewalk, I want to feel it again... Dance on the flames, does it feel the same?
Tears of blood, they burn my face... I want to feel the burning flames' embrace

The cold night freezing up my sins, the memories of ice burn my skin
But I see the flames of gold dancing and the last one of the leaves is still burning
Now all the ashes contain my name I'm one with the dark, I've lost the flame
My unleashed thoughts flying to the distant land of dreams... And disappear in
the sand

Emptiness has filled my heart... I see a blaze but it's much too far
I try to reach for it, it's calling my name... I know it's my fire with its warm embrace
Like a frozen flower covered with ice, my soul is cold and ready to die
This holy secret turned to a sacred lie I followed it and lost my guide
