A bursting hull
This ship torn asunder Remote hearts now too distant To survive another year in slumber Gusts of wind fill my sails I cast off into the twilight red New winds offer strength But I might rest on the ocean bed Our heaven's dead A silent arc A reverie adrift for years Our heaven is dead In solitude I hesitate The dark still blue, threatening The empyrean silence speaks Telling me it's far too late Our heaven's dead A silent arc A reverie adrift for years Our heaven is dead In search for new horizons Sunrise for new horizons Salvation came with newfound bearing It rescued us from the careless sleep And all these years of silent drifting Comes to an end in a dawning spring Liberation from a perpetual burden I see us disappearing I can feel us dissolving By the grace of a pardon the eclipse yields for the break of day Gusts of wind fill my sails As I cast off into the twilight red New winds offer strength And I might rest on the ocean bed Our heaven's dead A silent arc A reverie adrift for years Our heaven is dead In search for new horizons A dawn for new horizons 02. Weightless Music by Evergrey Lyrics by Tom Englund
I rarely had enough time to think
My mind was never quit enough And when deceit arose it pulled me in And I never came back I can't help to think that we got lost because of me Can't help to feel that I brought on this travesty Been lost so long that lost is the only thing I've ever known Can't help to feel that I'm alone I'm weightless in the water Surrounded by the deep I stare my past in its eyes to say It's over, it's over my friend I made a promise to myself that I Would never falter never fade so I Could stare my past in its eyes over and over There was a whisper a time was now fulfilled So when the bell chimed all stars aligned I sat in wonder, eyes on the horizon And I never looked back I can't help to think that we got lost because of me Can't help to feel that I brought on this travesty Been lost so long that lost is the only thing I'll ever know Can't help to feel like I'm alone I'm weightless in the water Surrounded by the deep I stare my past in its eyes to say It's over, it's over my friend I made a promise to myself that I Would never falter never fade so I Could stare my past in its eyes over and over 03. All I Have Music by Evergrey Lyrics by Tom Englund
A mind has traveled
A heart has changes its course A sudden shift and a focus worn I want to give you my silence I want to five my solitude too To share what's unspeakable Is all I own and can give to you It's all I have It's all I have All I have All I own that I can give to you A mind has traveled A heart has changes its course What is left when all else pales? It's all I have All I have It's all I have All I own that I can give to you All I have, all I have It's all I have All I own that I can give to you All I own I can give to you 04. A Secret Atlantis Music by Evergrey Lyrics by Tom Englund
I stare the skies of abandoned hearts
Dare I break the wave will I be safe? Our secret Atlantis We were the only one who knew what we were hiding You from me and me from you Show me where I go when my life's run dry Hold me until my wounds stop bleeding And I wanted to let you know That I'm leaving to let this go And the sky is painting my sorrow The sky is painting my sorrow Recreate the created and a certain fate Through the waters I got to learn how to swim again I never thought that I'd embrace new horizons Once boarded with a purpose Never thought I'd wake up in defiance But I knew how I felt when the sky changed When the treason was too hard to follow I felt left, tainted and hollow Show me where I go when my life's run dry Hold me until my wounds stop bleeding And I wanted to let you know That I'm leaving to let this go And the sky is painting my sorrow The sky is painting my sorrow And I wanted to let you know That I'm leaving to let this go And the sky is painting my sorrow The sky is painting my sorrow 05.

06. End Of Silence Music by Evergrey Lyrics by Tom Englund
Adrift, the sleep made us liars
It kept us close and Convinced us we'd be fine when The summer never came back and Winter took time to pass A newfound dawn, a newborn wind And winter left before the welcomed spring Through years of resistance Where I rarely felt whole Long distance calls from my soul were never answered When the darkest horizon Once gave way for the sun It gave me the courage to end the silence A mirrors reflections in broken glass Made two pieces fit at last The wind was rare its victims blind We couldn't stop, could not rewind We became victims of the quietness Led astray by intent Our wishes similar but not the same And with sunrise the reason came Through years of resistance Where I rarely felt whole Long distance calls from my soul were never answered When the darkest horizon Once gave way for the sun It gave me the courage to end the silence At the Atlantic edge awaits the end of silence 07. Currents Music by Evergrey Lyrics by Tom Englund
I watched the water rise
But turned my head and closed my eyes Hoped the threat would go away So it all would stay the same Wished the tidal waves would die So that I could defend whys That rescued me from drowning in our lies Come Com save me from these waters These waves too fall for me They'll bury me in silence The currents forcing me to sea I did not leave you behind The unconcern was just too much for me I tried to swim these waters blind And then tere was only me and the sea Me and the sea Come Com save me from these waters These waves too fall for me They'll bury me in silence The currents forcing me to sea Come Come save me from these waters I'll soon be out of reach 08. Departure Music by Evergrey Lyrics by Tom Englund
The tide made it easier
And time made us reasonable The currents no longer deceivers We were the reasons for us losing ground We were the reasons for why the lights went out We were the reasons for the years we had And we were the reasons to why it end at last The struggling, the reaching The searching for feeling That weren't there no longer From splendor to nothing The rising, the falling The giving, the taking To fathom it's over It's over It's over I left without knowing And withered without it showring Discontent made us seekers Silence has never been this silent And the winter never widened We were the reasons for us losing ground We were the reasons for why the lights went out We were the reasons for the years we had And we were the reasons to why it end at last My heartbeats echoes lonely And the emptiness the same It's not about the breaking But the rising with an aim The rising with an aim Too many reasons to no stand my ground Too many reasons to not carry on this blind Too many seasons where we held on tight And too many reasons to not leave this night The struggling the stretching The inventing of feeling We're feeling no longer We're feeling no longer The tension the sensing The knowing you are lacking To the chasing of pieces The hunting so tiring The missing the longing The essemce that was needed To knowing it's over To knowing it's over 09. The Beacon Music by Evergrey Lyrics by Tom Englund
The starlit sky offered bearing
My escort through the night When heavens darkened it dimmed my way And deprived of my guiding light I must find my beacon To let what's dead come back to life My capsized vessel weakens The eternal red turns to night Conformed to comfort Our sanctuary it was worth the unease It offered shelter and at bay in silence The spreading disease I must find my beacon To let what's dead come back to life My capsized vessel weakens The eternal red turns to night I must find the beacon Before dearth of light becomes my blood And I must leave the forsaken From the shadows of dusk into the light The grace of the moonlit sky my sanctum And the high seas only sometimes pacified Soon reduced into a final resting Still I'm soaring Still I'm soaring I must find my beacon To let what's dead come back to life My capsized vessel weakens The eternal red turns to night I must find the beacon Before dearth of light becomes my blood And I must leave the forsaken From the shadows of dusk into the light 10. This Ocean Music by Evergrey Lyrics by Tom Englund
I woke up to a change of winds
Bleak gusts from the north set in Weeks to shore and storms pending My cardinal points are all lost on me In the rivers of the dark I have rifled In the depths of disgrace I have hurt I refuse to view this as failure A part of me that I cannot desert I've cried this ocean And the tears that I wept Shadows the apparent horizon I've cried this ocean I woke up to a change of will Cold hearts silent, still I lied in wait for the change of the course Across the ocean in search of the source Shadows of fate by my side as I rumble Landfall in sight makes me crumble I've cried this ocean And the tears that I wept Shadows the apparent horizon I've cried this ocean I've cried this ocean |
