From the deepest of waters to a burning sky
I've been dragged through golden aisles of everyday malice Sometimes a whisper ain't enough Sometimes it's all you need Past times will make your reasons up A world you've been spared to believe As it shows I could've been dreaming through all of this I know it never goes The way you were raised to kneel and perceive The words, the shadows, the way You all just left me to be Bring me fortune as I die When they call for me saying, "Son, you're heartless." I won't believe it The ride majestic How can it cease when I transcend All these images lost in the end A later storm that will take it all And wash us all away Never think it'll be over It moves in circles Changing shapes and throwing you back to where it all began I've earned my right I've earned my shelter Now let me move on Sometimes the strive is all in vain Sometimes it gets you there The skies, the darkness, the sea You all just showed me the way Bring the fortune I've denied as I die Carry my message The sky declined Marry the fire If it still hurt bring it forth to those deprived When they call for me saying, "Son, you're heartless." I won't believe it The ride majestic How can it cease when I transcend All these images lost in the end A later storm that will take it all And wash us all away When they call for me saying, "Son, you're heartless." I won't believe it The ride majestic How can it cease when I transcend All these images lost in the end A later storm that will take it all And wash us all away 02. Alight In The Aftermath Music by Sylvain Coudret Lyrics by David Andersson
Then they came in shapes and dreams
Visions wrapped in smoke and steam Spoke to me in twisted tongues Words that burned inside my lungs Then they came to bring the end Infiltrate and then transcend Whispers from the dawn of time Spiritual but not divine Where is the meaning to all that's left behind If I walk down that path? From the beginning, we kept our souls entwined Alight in the aftermath Then they came like rain and wind Flesh can't hold the truth within There's no guilt, no one to blame Spirits travel without names And if that flame enlightens me Will it relieve me of my needs? To come alive, free from existence Escape the emptiness where I was born Then they come as travelers through astral planes, diverting time The great unravelers of all that's hidden in your mind I lift my gaze into the fire beyond This wondrous phase, it will not last for long Embrace this dawn like I once held you You'll know before my time is due Then they came at no small cost They alone know what I'd lost After birth communiqué This time, fire lights the way Where is the meaning to all that's left behind If I walk down that path? From the beginning, we kept our souls entwined Alight in the aftermath 03. Death In General Music by Björn Strid, David Andersson Lyrics by Björn Strid
You went out of reach as quick as the setting sun
Nowhere else you could have gone Still geraniums whispered your name that night There was no one there who'd give you up We all see changes, but how the cut runs deep A shadow approaching Your pain is common, it's like lament on repeat How about driving souls apart Like death in general It's bound to shatter what you know 'Cause pain is nothing Recalling the way we used to dance Through gutters all built in distress I still mourn The days turned into strangers as soon as your light moved on Infinity burned my fingers, one last look and then you're gone The wold crashing down on the innocent The sky opening up for the truth Your were carried with honor and fiery eyes Into unknown dominions where hearts reunite Sail on... My flash in the night How about driving souls apart Like death in general It's bound to shatter what you know Cause pain is nothing Recalling the way we used to dance Through gutters all built in distress I still mourn The wind, the touch The zenith, the iris The never let go... We all see changes but how the cut runs deep A shadow approaching Your pain is common, it's like lament on repeat How about driving souls apart Like death in general It's bound to shatter what you know 'Cause pain is nothing Recalling the way we used to dance Recalling the last dance, my friend... 04. Enemies In Fidelity Music & lyrics by Björn Strid
As you dig another grave
You can count on my distinctive presence We as one but still miles apart Now as I wish you would kneel before me As I am, as I transform Stronger than anything Stronger than hate Built for war... I accept the challenge, the triumph is near Dismantled... I truly am your enemy Restless believer Of everything you hear Of everything you see Still I long for you, my culprit of choice Won't leave your side Through every second, every distant little noise I will be yours Need no one to get me through Slowly fading into fidelity My enemy, my words are true Let me lead your way We are enemies in fidelity Nothing more but all too real We enter the night, a promise of war We spill our blood but ask for more Meant to soar... I tend to rival as you make amends To the core... You know we were meant to be something more Still I long for you, my culprit of choice Won't leave your side Through every second, every distant little noise It makes no difference since we're already torn Need no one to get me through Slowly fading into fidelity My enemy, my words are true Let me lead your way I'll roll the dice, you'll succumb Your silent rage will make it run Need no one to get me through Slowly fading in fidelity My enemy, my words are true Let me lead your way 05. Petrichor By Sulphur Music & lyrics by David Andersson
I saw the end, the fall, the weight of it all
Trapped inside life's invisible walls I wait for her to make me believe If she can't, then there's nothing I need I tried so hard to make my amends To behave as if nothing would end The things we love, the things we destroy As we claw our way out of the void I need that umbilical silence To cut through this veil of doubt It enters me tender and violent now Is this the end of dreams Or just the truth I need? Now the light is bleeding into my head She's alive and needing me somewhere else What will remain the day she goes where I can't follow her? There is no promise to dim our sights Not as we enter this bleeding light I saw it breach the sky, a gateway of fire And the vapor of each tear we cried Dissolved in air, she's taking me there 'Cause this night is ours to conquer and share I need that umbilical silence To cut through this veil of doubt It enters me tender and violent now Is this the end of dreams Or just the truth I need? Now the light is bleeding into my head She's alive and needing me somewhere else What will remain the day she goes where I can't follow her? There is no promise to dim our sights Not as we enter this burning light Now the light is seeping in through cracks of wasted time A last reminder of those moments when the world was mine Like sulphur rains And mornings after Like growing pains They fade away Like every time They made you suffer I will return Now the light is bleeding into my head She's alive and needing me somewhere else What will remain the day she goes where I can't follow her? There is no promise to dim our sights No turning back 'cause tonight we Ride There is no way we can close our eyes Not as we enter this bleeding light 06. The Phantom Music by David Andersson Lyrics by Björn Strid
I live to awake you
You son of time As soon as I see you You draw the lines Through chambers of delusions Your nurturing shadow You give me closure and shelter in fire A keeper of our needs To wallow in secrets You hold no dignities And redeem the speechless Prey on my mind Tell me I'm there To rejoice in my misery Take my side, let me find The abyss that I've faithfully designed The world is a snake and thou tongue is vile It swallows your guilt, but then you die I'd rather speak with the phantom inside I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need ...Now ruptured and sunken The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen ...A world beyond The night is still cold and I'm still deceived But in the phantom I believe I live to awake you You son of time As soon as I see you You draw the lines I dream of dominions I once used to roam in need ...Now ruptured and sunken The surface still bleeding but I'll just pretend that I have seen ...A world beyond The night is still cold and I'm still deceived But in the phantom I believe 07. The Ride Majestic (Aspire Angelic) Music by David Andersson Lyrics by Björn Strid, David Andersson
Embracing the silecnce as served
You know how the next thought will turn No matter the guilt you've let in The crown of resemblance will win 'Cause you see the connection, you feel the pain Synopsis: you can't help getting maimed Whether it's you, whether it's me It's all still inside the shell Now it's gone and all that's left Is the path I once repressed She is closer now than death Aspire Angelic But the Ride is Majestic Recalling the hours you've dwelled From everything to nothing, Make sure from the first glance of light You steer into venomous lies 'Cause you see the connection, you feel the pain Synopsis: you can't help getting maimed Whether it's me, whether it's you It's all still inside the shell The rain whips me conscience The strain towards the end The rain keeps on falling The sound got me settled with sadness I know it too well now The stranger in me turns to ashes Now it's gone and all that's left Is the path I once repressed She is closer now than death Aspire Angelic But the Ride is Majestic Now it's gone and all that's left Aspire Angelic But the Ride is Majestic 08. Whirl Of Pain Music by David Andersson Lyrics by Björn Strid, David Andersson
We're the ones who'd never betray you
We're the ones that would always stand back We never made a sound, never left a trace Now the pace keeps chaning but we're still here The whirl of pain and the nlimited fear We're already thought things over All in pain Save those words tonight We don't care what you're thinking 'Cayse they were never meant to forge how selfless of you to finally grant our presence Don't you leave us 'til we bleed After all I ever did, it's washed away Don't let it be me now It's like I never even tried to remain sane But it all turns out just not what you wanted Now what you asked for Now start dragging me around As the world breaks down We'll explore without a sound Lost together in this whirl of pain Bow your head down low When this world is overthrown We'll unite where nothing else remains In this whirl of pain Let us all rejoice before you throw us all To that howling wolf of yours Making room for a storm In the well of unanswered prayers Same sound, different voices As the world breaks down We'll explode without a sound Lost together in this whirl of pain Bow your head down low When this world is overthrown We'll unite where nothing else remains In this whirl of pain Same sound, different voices 09. All Along Echoing Paths Music & lyrics by Björn Strid
Onwards I tremble, onwards I crawl
My reason profound, the pain above all Secluded from motion, detained to rot Emerging from sacrifice Giving all that I've got The strive of reaching higher ANd hold on to what eventually falls Is making sure that the spirit will crumble Once the bloodstained curtains are dropped Violation of what I've kept inside A nation of remedies all mine All along echoing paths The lights are gone Strength in numbers Will burn us all The weight that's been covering our backs Is now replaced A place where our hearts will turn black That's where we'll stay Segregation of souls beneath the norms Revelations and the oncoming storm Abandoning pressure, abandoning reasons Overcoming burden that drove us through loss Outcasts of heaven, beggars in black Escaping the kingdoms of perpetual wrath Needless to say I'm thorugh with you My fallen angel, my fallen star The strive of reaching higher And hold on to what eventually falls s making sure that the spirit will crumble Once the bloodstained curtains are dropped All along echoing paths The lights are gone Strength in numbers Will burn us all The weight that's been covering our backs Is now replaced A place where our hearts will turn black That's where we'll stay My creation, forever lost to wrath All along echoing paths The lights are gone Strength in numbers Will burn us all 10. Shining Lights Music & lyrics by Björn Strid
Your imagination
Will set the world on fire Silenced by shining lights A satisfying delight A resolution never seen before Reality won't be a friend no more 'Cause the further it goes, the less you will grasp In this dying world of yours It won't ever let you go It won't ever let you grow The infiltration of the empire meant for you ...Just ruined your chances too soon You're one with the frame that will get you through The thension, the drug, the helpless mind The love of a mother redirected Now I feel for you The way you're sinking Deeper and deeper Beyond recognition 'Cause the source is never ending No use, stop pretending We won't ever find your way Since the source is still defending Our crown of reality sending Nothing more than what's been said Our lives going nowhere Constantly bleeding somewhere Life's going nowehere 'Cause the source is never ending No use, stop pretending We won't ever find your way Since the source is still defending Our crown of reality sending Nothing more than what's been said Your imagination, the infiltration 11. Father And Son, Watching The World Go Down Music by David Andersson Lyrics by Björn Strid
All that comfort lost in seconds
Into burning fields of the unknown I saw the fear, I felt the rumble Our eyes exploding, Our memories lost forevermore We're going down I thought we never could be wiped out Lost and bragged in shame To be one with what's been made up It all ends here, but where do we go? Do we ever get to find out Where our hearts will lie? Transcending filled with pain Our souls without a name Into the night as our hands are entwined Never let me go We owned our time but here we drown In tears we've collected Slowly we rose for a glance at the sky Never let go Father and son, watching the world go down Our reality lost in motion Never coming back Your lips are moving but there's no sound Watching the last light die Sensing our last sigh Together as we have lost our last fight I thought we never could be wiped out Lost and bragged in shame To be one with what's been made up It all ends here, but where do we go? Do we ever get to find out Where our hearts will lie? We all knew it all the way The growing shadow that brought this day Let it come, there's no fear All at once, we're already numb Into the night as our hands are entwined Never let me go We owned our time but here we drown In tears we've collected Slowly we rose for a glance at the sky Never let go Father and son, watching the world go down Go down... Riding the wave of nothingness Our ambitions slowly ripped apart But we still stand Into the night as our hands are entwined Never let me go We owned our time but here we drown In tears we've collected Slowly we rose for a glance at the sky Never let go Father and son, watching the world go down 12. Of Hollow Dreams Music by Björn Strid Lyrics by Miguel Holmberg
Shattered by the sudden and horrible loss
Only in my sleep can I contain the grief Until the moment I wake up To the nightmare of reality Trying to find relief in these painful times ?Of hollow dreams Hoping the time will heal It's so surreal, the way I feel Emptiness, a crucial part of me Forever gone Sorrow cannot seem to let me go Condemned to pain But somehow you keep me sane Nothing can replace you in my life Even though you're never, ever coming back The thought of a future without you Keeps on haunting my fragile mind It wasn't meant to end so soon Where did you go? Now I'm hoping that time will heal To see you leaving was so surreal Release me from this prison of the mind Time is rushing forward, but I'm standing in line Thankful that you probably left us unaware Liberated from the sorrow Trying to find relief in these painful times ?Of hollow dreams Hoping the time will heal It's so surreal, the way I feel Emptiness, a crucial part of me Forever gone Sorrow cannot seem to let me go Condemned to pain But somehow you keep me sane Nothing can replace you in my life Even though you're never, ever coming back Sorrow cannot seem to let me go Condemned to pain you still remain Nothing can replace you in my life Even though you're never, ever coming back 13. Ghosts And Thunder
So I say you're miles away
The bleeding heart takes another turn You gave me life, you took my side While time stood still we were trying to learn My world divided I sense the great unknown It's becoming my closest friend Perhaps you'll see me no more Constantly in motion though the curtains are drawn You make it seem so easy It's tearing my throbbing heart apart I always think of leaving Where do we go now? I thought you knew I just planted a seed A picture of someone I used to know Just shed a tear The lights that I see from a distance Became a shadow of what I believed Won't you give me the well-earned deliverance The rest I can hardly perceive Here's one who will always be gone Away from the pain I have given more than I got, won't change All anger delayed after days in the shade I'm stuck with a deathless turn So they say that bridge will crumble All the fear that may breed ghosts and thunder Still wants you here Your permission to yearn My weakness is loyal, it speaks to me Out of courtesy when there is no more to preach The rhyme of ancient entities has paved my way My fate in the hands of others My fate in the hands of time The urge that no one can cover Up while I'm one with the night Where do we go now? I thought you knew I just planted a seed A picture of someone I used to know Just shed a tear Tear, all the pain I've known The same bloodstained fields we've sown The rain keeps on falling I've made the choice of crawling Away from the pain I have given more than I got, won't change All anger delayed after days in the shade I'm stuck with a deathless turn Should've known better Now I've buried it all 'Cause it won't change All anger delayed after days in the shade I'm stuck with a deathless turn Here's one who will always be gone Away from the pain I have given more than I got, won't change All anger delayed after days in the shade I'm stuck with a deathless turn Should've known better Now I've buried it all 'Cause it won't change All anger delayed after days in the shade I'm stuck with a deathless turn |
