Empyrium - The Turn Of The Tides lyrics



Tracks



01. Saviour

Drifting through a void
without a voice
Grey and dark - through starless nights
that leave no choice
A lifeless mind, a soul astrayed
in autumn's maze
In shade and light, my days portrayed
A spark of grace

Floating to the farthest still
unto the winter's heart
Motionless, bereft the will
but - where did we all start?

There is no thing without beauty at all...

02. Dead Winter Ways

Winter, winter...
Can you tell with your silver breath?
River, river...
Stays asleep in his frozen bed
Yonder, yonder...
Lies the moor dressed in a shroud in white
Shelter, shelter...
Rescue me from desolations sight

03. In The Gutter Of This Spring

Outside the rain keeps falling
On foul soil, dying snow
Melting and transforming
to waters made of woe

Grey clouds brewing idle
the trees can not withstand
What is dead and gone by
is mixing with the sand...

...In the gutter of this spring

Inside the days remain
in a dim and lightless paint
and with the naked branches
the sun did not acquint

What is dead and gone by
and did not yet begin
is flowing to my hand
from the gutter of this spring

04. The Days Before The Fall

Ride withered days unfiring the sun,
The nights were soft and cloudless,
The saddened will "be gone"
And winds did lays in forest,
And dawn was filled with eerie sweetness
In days before the fall.

Nights when our hearts and oceans were young
The times were full of magic
And seed with songs unsung,
And winds did lays in forest,
And dawn was filled with eerie sweetness
In days before the fall.

The sweetness, the hacks, now water restrain,
And silently we wallow in memory of the day,
When winds did lays in forest,
And dawn was filled with eerie sweetness
In days before the fall.

Ride withered days unfiring the sun,
The nights were soft and cloudless,
The silent were begone,
And winds did lays in forest,
And dawn was filled with eerie sweetness
In days before the fall...

05. We Are Alone

Winter leaves
Autumn weaves
Spring has come
Summer's gone

07. The Turn Of The Tides

Deep red skies
falling into blue
With every turn of the tides
I am closer to you

I an a wave in an ocean
Floating, gliding infinity
I shall not break at the rocks
Nor shall I decay before my time
At last I reach endless white sands
