01. Awakening

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
Long winter's night has gone again
And a new hope
This land I've always known
Changing to a new time
Like the birds flying over the sea

As for me: I wander, I keep wandering
Why am I looking for a place to settle this lonely soul?
And for what?

Before my eyes came destiny
And I need to grab my luck
Lest it runs away
Hold on to what we've got, so that
There's a place in the sun for me

Now I see life can be so infinite
Why am I looking for a place to find happiness?
And for what?

Can you hear my name?
I want to shout it out and to say
Do you know what I'm all about?
Going straight ahead
The past is gone, no turning back
Here I am!
Dawn always shines as it leaves the night

02. End This Misery

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
Born for lonely
Fight I hate it!
What price do I pay?
End this misery!
I loathe it!
Unleash my soul far away

Lots of dreams going out to sea
Aboard together, yet in chaos
So comrades to the end
Fighting's our game
Set us free
And end this misery!

Doom comes suddenly
Don't lose it!
Hold on side by side
Wait for the wind
Just catch it!
Together, never let go!

03. Hollow The Dusk

(Instrumental)

04. Outbreak

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
Living in a world of fear and devastation
Constant wars and destruction in the land beyond and at home
Why do we keep fighting one another?
History never seems to teach us

Same mistakes over and over then and again
And so ruin, downfall of cities and countryside
Ages to come
Precious things lost
The beauty and wonders of nature and mother earth

Clear up our mind and soul
Remembering our youthful days
Gone by long ago
Get back our faith and love for peace
To send our message to all around the world

Oh, what terrors man has made by his own hands
Intellects surpass not really seeing the end
What a woeful state we put ourselves in
Can we still save this earth?
Our precious home

05. Toward Fall

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
I see the leaves have fallen down on the ground
And it's frozen hard, deep in the woods
A thick white blanket of snow around me
See it spreading out, for miles away

I tread across the snowy field, all alone
I'm a lonely, child, nothing of my own
Searching for arms to hold me so tight
Dreaming of warmth, a home never to me

Mama, where have you gone without me?
Mama, take me away from this cold
A long and lonesome journey I have come
And I hear the songs you sand in the past

Mama, come and take me away
Mama, I'll be waiting for you

06. Burning Wild

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
Watch the flame, all on fire
Alive with my heart and soul
Ascend higher and higher
Can't let it die, burn again

Trial and tribulations
Flounder desperately in the mud
Hey jerk! A reflection
What do they know?

Never know when the end will come
After the showdown, could be too late
Light the fire, keep it burning
Warm and bright for eternity
And hold on to it forever

Why? The fire is glowing
Is it to shine the way?
The great valiant warrior
Can't let him die, stand again

Wherever the wind blows
My bearing is sturdy
But even a resistance
I'll break you down

07. A False Charge

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
I recollect a dream of a town far away
Strange lights surround the air, night and day
Candle flame, a child's face
Innocence, dancing around

Praying it'll last forever
Hide away all that's tearful
Illusions seen long time ago
Looking merry yet sorrowful

The roads are covered with fog
Spreading out in vision
The past follows us
Keep running to escape it

Even wild beasts and witched can't get away

Praying it'll last forever
Hide away all that's tearful
Illusions seen long time ago
Looking merry yet sorrowful

Real world keeps on moving on
But time has stopped in the town
No one cares to know the truth
Dancing and frolicking round and round
And it goes on

08. Storm Lord

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
Here he comes
He is coming again to find his prey
A quirk of fate
He inhales everything as he appears

Why don't you get away?
He will not wait for you

Do away with resistance along the way
Childlike assailant
Eliminate all, so how will it be?
There's no way of winning the game

Now he's gone
From darkness shines a spark of light and peace
No time to rest
You're already in the core of the storm
Better watch out!

Why don't you run away
Not worth losing your life

Do away with resistance along the way
Childlike assailant
Eliminate all, so how will it be?
There's no way of winning the game

I can only stay and wait for it to vanish
Childlike assailant
Eliminate all, how will it be?
And again, he'll wash away as he goes along

09. Reaching For The Sky

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
There are some who're living in the shadows
Waiting for the end in obscure alleys
Afraid of coming out into the light
They suffer 'cuz they're different as night is to day
People look down on them even though they know that they're in the wrong
I once lived in that lonely and secluded shell
And then I met an angel, so sweet
Who believed that love could cure anything

And into the warmth of daylight!

Hey! It's great to be alive!
Hiding in the darkness never takes you up
Climb up the cliff
A brand-new outlook awaits

I'm falling back down again if you care
Don't leave me here
I need you by my side

And into the warmth of daylight!

Hey! It's great to be alive!
Hiding in the darkness never takes you up
Climb up the cliff
A brand-new outlook awaits

Reach high above the clouds
And maybe, you can find a pot of gold
If we keep on living for the sky

Day in and day out
We are overwhelmed with worries
But don't let them get you down
Keep on reaching for the sky

10. Black Raven

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
What foolish deed I see
Prevail all over around me
Their lust whirling about, full of desire

Under the cover of darkness, they prey on the game
Vacant look of lust, having no foresight

So scared of darkness, yet it's the only place to be
Eyes gazing upwards, he says: "I've lost my soul."

Will strings of gold dress me
And in my heard, happiness?
The ragged gold plate you wear
Just shows deceit in your story

I live in the back streets
Come and join us
I am black raven
Come and join us

Can't tell black from white
Don't care about what is inside
But can't quit till we make it

'cuz we are obsessed

So scared of darkness: "I've lost my soul."

11. End Of Time

Lyrics by Eijin Kawazoe
Look at the sky, a quiet moment
Visions floated before my mind
Close your eyes, hear the sounds flowing
I feel the breath of life

I believed it was everlasting
That's what I thought, naturally
Indefinite is how time continues
There's no saving it

Oh! Freedom calls me!
To the end of time and unlock the chains
Binding me let me fly away
Like a master of destiny

What can you see? An illusion?
Like a mirror, showing back
Feeling the wind in your face and in your hands
I feel the storm of life

I believe it is everlasting
That's what I know, naturally
Indefinite is how time continues
Just rescue me!
