• 1. Heliopolis (04:36)
   copy

  Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth
  Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame
  The scorched sky converts night
  You wish for light to call
  Face to face with the madness
  The call of fate to save us all
  Daily horror that brings you sadness
  
  When smoke arises from the planes
  With a loud, triumphant sigh
  I always bleed, I always heal
  I live to die anew, it breaks me, it burns me…
  All around us is just decay
  There's no means to wash the pain away
  You will turn your head and say
  I always only cared about me
  
  Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth
  Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame
  The scorched sky converts night
  You wish for light to call
  Face to face with the madness
  The call of fate to save us all
  Daily horror that brings you sadness
  
  When the darkest tempest roars
  Passes by with quiet wings
  Landscapes swiftly burn away
  And fall apart to dust
  All around us is just decay
  There's no means to wash the pain away
  You will turn your head and say
  I always only cared about me
  
  Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth
  Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame
  The scorched sky converts night
  You wish for light to call
  Face to face with the madness
  The call of fate to save us all
  Daily horror that brings you sadness
  
  The memories, the pictures, the melodies, the wars
  Everything I was, everything I earned
  Grasped in my claws
  All around us is just decay
  There's no means to wash the pain away
  You will turn your head and say
  I just cared about – me
  No more years of waiting
  The final days, the conflagration
  Feathers falling from my wings now –
  Here comes sunset
  
  Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth
  Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame
  The scorched sky converts night
  You wish for light to call
  Face to face with the madness
  The call of fate to save us all
  Daily horror that brings you sadness
• 2. Devil's Deal (04:33)
   copy

  Cry with my tears, crawl against the floor
  This body of clay may need no more
  He gives you hope, he shows his care
  Or is your patience a form of despair?
  
  For a moment I feel embraced
  Now that I'm unbound
  My eyes have lost their grace
  I scream a demonic sound
  
  Shed all your tears, my friend,
  Come release them all
  We have flooded heavens,
  Hear their desperate call
  
  While death becomes angels, death becomes real
  All of God's work, you know, it's Devil's deal
  Will you be… lost struggling in vain?
  
  Within the fields of sorrow,
  I pass to the other side
  Facing my deepest hollow,
  Which mirrors my dark light
  
  Cry with my tears, my dear,
  The waters are coming down
  Call my name, aloud,
  But before you drown
  
  Cause God and Satan, you know
  They reach out their hand
  So they are reconciled within me, my friend
  
  Shed all your tears, my dear,
  All these words as such
  Cause in this world of lies, all your words
  Don't mean much
  
  Or will I come once more to rescue you again?
  
  Within the fields of sorrow,
  I pass to the other side
  Facing my deepest hollow,
  Which mirrors my dark light
  
  Shed all your tears, give me your hand
  Look into my eyes, make your final stand
  Where ever you will go, hence, go without regret
  
  Within the fields of sorrow,
  I pass to the other side
  Facing my deepest hollow,
  Which mirrors my dark light
  
  Shed all your tears, (and give)
  Give me your hand
  Look into my eyes, (and make)
  Make your final stand
  It's been so long, I hope you don't forget
  Where ever you will go, hence, go without regret
• 3. Decline (05:32)
   copy

  You drown in stagnation, in a world of frustration
  Your chance for salvation is to weave a cell of fears
  This stainless collection of countless imperfection
  A mild satisfaction, a sea of rotten tears
  
  This serpentine throne suits you well
  A place to reign the deepest hell
  Faded memories, they crawl across the years
  Reveal your hidden fears
  
  A short hesitation on your way to desperation
  You'll fell the aggravation before decline begins
  
  I gaze into a darkened well
  With madness that erodes my shell
  Decay's burning bleakly in my eyes
  No way to save our wasted lives
  
  Death in your soul dear
  It's in your dreams
  It's always near
  Death in your soul dear
  It is near
  
  What I was meant to be, what I was born to be
  What will set me free, I was too blind to see
  Too blind to realize
  Too blind to turn the tides
  Too blind to see your lies
  I was too blind to see
  
  This serpentine throne suits me well
  A place where vilest worms do dwell
  Faded memories
  They crawl across the years
  Enraged by all your fears
  
  Death in your soul dear
  It's in your dreams, it's always near
  Death in your soul dear
  It is near, it is near
  It's in your dreams, it's always near…
  Death in your soul dear
  It is near, death is near
  
  Oh, how dare you come into my lair
  Here in this void, this sanctum
  Reigns despair…
  
  …and somberly it sleeps
  It winds, it slowly creeps
  The end is near…
  The end is near
  The end is near
  
  Take a look around – this evil lurks behind you
  Two thousand years of lies
  And arrogance that blinds you
  
  Nightmares crawl, the serpent in your eye
  The road of Cain winds on until you die
  
  Death in your soul dear
  It's in your dreams
  It's always near…
  Death in your soul dear
  It is here, it's in your dreams
  It's always near
  Death in your soul dear
  The end is… here.
• 4. Ground Zero (04:46)
   copy

  Peering into darkness without prospect,
  The future to be left in despair
  A presage horn of plenty filled with plague and famine
  Unbroken mind case dramatic ground zero
  From a distant dream to be seen,
  Surely undreamt yet unbelieved
  Seem to be, with me, in severe insanity
  Forever there, forever deceived
  
  No disguise of fevered innocence
  A lovers fear in mourning, epiphany
  
  Another life, another time
  Dream of stars but proclaim fire
  As flames meet earth, I throw you down
  To watch your flesh blister and char
  I anoint you, dress you in white
  Attempt to allay those fever dreams
  These pitiful dreamers…
  Witnessed the reconstruction of fallen stars.
  
  Your life is doomed, a misplaced soul you are
  Your thoughts are sparkles in despair
  Fighting the cold, inconsiderate emotions
  Confusing future threatening ahead
  
  Deep down the abyss of my crystalline soul
  Into the valley of sore thoughts
  Like that insignificant refuge of lies
  That make you shiver, that make you cry
  
  No disguise of fevered innocence
  A lovers fear in mourning, epiphany
  
  Another life, another time
  Dream of stars but proclaim fire
  As flames meet earth, I throw you down
  To watch your flesh blister and char
  I anoint you, dress you in white
  Attempt to allay those fever dreams
  These pitiful dreamers…
  Witnessed the reconstruction of fallen stars.
  
  Edacious burning, destroying, turning
  What was living to death
  Walking, stalking, going, gone
  
  Edacious burning, destroying, turning

• 5. Ghost Of A Soul (04:29)
   copy

  Way down to heaven
  Your needless resource
  It's a forecast of cruelty and dismay
  Cast into mirrors
  An ambush on its course
  You are blemish, frailty, and decay
  
  Will I get at something
  Will I ever be complete
  Built by dust, born to slave away
  
  Taste an angel's lifeblood
  So pure and bitter sweet
  Build of nothing, born to decay
  
  Deep in my mind there rests the ghost
  Of an innocent soul
  Capped by darkness and dismay
  Out of these depths
  I slay so cruel and so confident
  Will I ever be set free
  
  Lust prevails my temper
  Endless rapture turns to grief
  A silent scream which fraudulent arises
  
  Without shelter, your wounds lead me to lambency
  Spouts truth above your lies
  
  Step by step, piece by piece
  Cut by cut, we reach the end together
  
  Deep in my mind there rests the ghost
  Of an innocent soul
  Capped by darkness and dismay
  Out of these depths
  I slay so cruel and so confident
  Will I ever be set free
  
  Take this cloak from me,
  Your offer I will not embrace
  A failure once for me, not to be driven into hate
  
  Will I ever be set free
  Will I ever be complete
  Will I ever be set free
  Will I, can I, ever be complete?
  
  Deep in my mind there rests the ghost
  Of an innocent soul
  Capped by darkness and dismay
  Out of these depths
  I slay so cruel and so confident
  Will I ever be set free
  Be set free
  Come set me free
  Set me free
• 6. Winterchild (05:33)
   copy

  You're standing numb
  Looking back
  How long already?
  How could you fool flee to the world
  Just right before the break of winter?
  
  And nothing in this world will change
  All just stays the same
  The world, a gate
  To a thousand deserts, silent and cold
  And one who's lost what you have lost
  Does stop at nothing, never rests
  
  You're standing pale
  Damned to go off on your winter-travel
  Just like the smoke that's always seeking
  Colder, chiller, higher skies
  
  And nothing in this world will change
  All just stays the same
  The world, a gate
  To a thousand deserts, silent and cold
  And one who's lost what you have lost
  Does stop at nothing, never rests
  
  Fly, bird, and sing your song
  In the way of the desert bird
  And hide, you fool this bleeding heart
  In ice and snow, in chill and scorn
  
  Save your prayers before they swoon
  This bitter cold that came so soon
  Every story has its end
  His future dreams forever banned
  
  Oh, my dearest Winterchild
  Overwhelmed by coldness, ice, and snow at night
  
  The crows are screaming
  And fly whirring towards town
  Soon it will snow
  Woe betide those who don't, have home
  
  And nothing in this world will change
  All just stays the same
  The world, a gate
  To a thousand deserts, silent and cold
  And one who's lost what you have lost
  Does stop at nothing, never rests
  
  Fly, bird, and sing your song
  In the way of the desert bird
  And hide, you fool this bleeding heart
  In ice and snow, in chill and scorn
• 7. Time Is The Fire (04:58)
   copy

  Skies above the endless seas
  Engulf horizons till they disappear
  At a sign a ship shaking its masts
  Passes by like a fortress floating on wastelands
  
  Flocks of cranes sail to the skies
  Where never ending paths arise
  Neath the blunt and timid sun
  Skies above the endless seas
  The ship, the ocean, the days are gone
  
  Likewise, lives and youth pass by
  They pass away, like a lie
  Likewise, lives and youth pass by
  And die
  
  Skies full of stars above endless seas
  Horizons till they disappear
  An enormous ship shaking its masts
  Passes by like a floating keep
  
  Skies above the endless seas
  The ship, the ocean, the days are gone
  
  But till I'm not six feet underground
  My angels bow to my mourning sound
  And sing along my weeping, over and over again
  
  Likewise, lives and youth pass by
  They pass away, like a lie,
  But till I'm not six feet underground
  My angels, bow to my mourning sound
  And sing along my weeping, over and over
  With the passion of a newborn lover
  Again
  
  And then, I will look behind to the world
  Like those who don't have much to tell (eachother)
  When they can't say what they want
  In the shadow of these ancient walls
  In their silence, I lay down to rest
  
  In the same silence that swallowed the travelers
  Who fell asleep in time
  Who are now forgotten by aeons
  
  Time is the water in which we drown
  Time is the fire in which we burn
  
  Likewise, lives and youth pass by
  They pass away, like a lie
  Likewise, lives and youth pass by
  And die (and die)
  
  Time is the water in which we drown
  Time is the fire in which we burn
• 8. To Our Ashes (06:40)
   copy

  It is the mind, which creates the world about us
  And even though we stand side by side
  My eyes will never see what is beheld by yours
  My heart won't respond to your touch
  
  Out of the caverns of the pain
  Like a child from the womb, stillborn
  Like a ghost from the tomb
  I arise and unbuild it again
  
  We don't see things as they are
  We see them as we are
  And all that we see or seem to be
  Is but a dream within a dream
  I see life blurred and shallow every day by day
  In this world's theatre in which I stay
  
  Three death gently descends, from spheres up high
  Staring into my cold and humid eyes
  You're closing your eyes, try turning your head
  Away from the gloom, trying to forget
  
  But when I start to laugh, she mocks
  And when I cry she laughs
  And hardens evermore her heart
  But when I start to laugh, she mocks
  And when I cry she laughs
  
  All things come to the those who wait
  I say these words to make me glad
  But something answers, soft and sad
  They come but often come too late
  
  We don't see things as they are
  We see them as we are
  And all that we see or seem to be
  Is but a dream within a dream
  I see life blurred and shallow every day by day
  In this world's theatre in which I stay
  
  Three death gently descends, from spheres up high
  Staring into my cold and humid eyes
  You're closing your eyes, try turning your head
  Away from the gloom, trying to forget
  
  But something answers, soft and sad
  They come but often come too late
  
  Cause I am sick of this way of life
  As life is sick of the way we pretend
  But I have walked with death hand in hand
  And death's own hand is warmer than my own!
  
  Out of the caverns of the pain
  Like a child from the womb, stillborn
  Like a ghost from the tomb
  I arise and unbuild it again
  
  We don't see things as they are
  We see them as we are
  And all that we see or seem to be
  Is but a dream within a dream
  I see life blurred and shallow every day by day
  In this world's theatre in which I stay
  
  All things come to those who wait
  I say these words to make me glad
  But something answers, soft and sad
  They come but often come too late
• 9. Amongst The Vultures (03:21)
   copy

  He hears the call which destines his fall
  A fire burns that slowly pierces his soul
  And now the tide turns
  The blackest flame still burns
  Immortally he's waiting so unconcerned
  
  Before the blade penetrates his skin
  (Penetrates his skin)
  A versant cloud enwraps his body
  (Enwraps his body)
  Slowly and dreadfully
  (And dreadfully)
  A subtle cut brings liberty
  
  His path of blasphemy
  Atrocious angels lead his way
  To apathy, an apathy revealed by sway
  
  By Cain's force assigned,
  Ferocious demons crawl to mate
  Black altar wine flows to blur his fate
  
  Beyond the veil, amongst the vultures
  Beneath the sky, he lives his dream
  
  Inside his veins throbs mortal poison
  The netherworld has opened its gates
  (Has opened its gates)
  Wide and enormous, (wide and enormous)
  A final cut brings liberty
  
  The candles leave their set
  All sounds extinguish in the dark
  No hope and no regret
  Silence rules his heart
  
  No whisper sent to God
  Abysmal hate turns to dismissal
  Cold becomes hod
  His soul leaves in a glorious bliss
  
  He hears the call which destines his fall
  A fire burns that slowly pierces his soul
  And now the tide turns,
  The blackest flame still burns
  Immortally he's waiting so unconcerned
  
  Inside his veins the poison dries
  (The poison dries)
  The netherworld has closed its gates
  (Has closed its gates)
  Amongst the vultures
  (Amongst the vultures)
  He will make all his dreams come true
  (Come true)
• 10. Oncoming Storm (06:26)
   copy

  Years of ignorance have gone
  Mankind destroys and rapes the earth
  The world withers and the end comes soon
  
  Will I, can I, ever be unbound and flawless
  Will I, can I, ever be so alive?
  
  Another step to peace
  Another memory has gone
  Another time we'll see the end
  The setting of the sun
  
  And all the shades seem now so clear
  Every cloud has disappeared
  The sun encases all the moments
  We wish to be seared
  
  What brings the end, what brings the time
  What keeps my memories alive
  What makes the world we're living in,
  A better place at a better time
  What brings the end, what brings the time
  What makes this world we're living in,
  A better place for a better life
  
  The years went by
  And the earth still falls and decays
  Slowly, we unfurl the storms
  
  Will we, can we, ever be tougher,
  Stronger than the rest
  Can we, ever be so alive?
  
  We've gone finally but why
  The wave of fortune passes by
  The thirteen demons burn the gates
  And so the earth enrages
  
  What brings the end, what brings the time
  What keeps my memories alive
  What makes the world we're living in,
  A better place at a better time
  What brings the end, what brings the time
  What makes this world we're living in,
  A better place for a better life
  
  Can't you see all the blindness in their eyes
  Can't you feel that the spiteful ghosts arise
  Don't you know I'm the sinner in disguise
  I sense your dirty lies
  
  What brings the end, what brings the time
  What keeps my memories alive
  What makes the world we're living in,
  A better place at a better time
  What brings the end, what brings the time
  What keeps my memories alive
  What makes this world we're living in,
  A better place for a better life
  What brings the end, what brings the end
  What brings the end, what brings the time
  What brings the end, what brings the time
• 11. Throughout The Fields Of Unshaded Grace (05:10)
   copy

  Throughout the field
  Of unshaded grace
  Within the land
  Of the neverending sun
  With all the appropriate compliance
  I strive for the sunset
  For all time from now to then
  
  I can not free myself from the memory
  Warmth surrounding me
  In the darkest corner of my mind
  A childish joy overwhelming me
  While aggrieving insects
  Smashing rocks on them
  A wholeheartedly joy
  Aggrieving, crushing
  It fills me from the navel to the chaff
  
  Now, as I refuse to soar myself above others
  It's getting cold, deep inside of me
  It's been a decision of my mind, not of heart
  A coldness that makes me shiver
  Catches up to me, displaces warmth
  Abiding my decision
  I ache for the times I was free
  To unleash this childish joy and warmth
  The decision was made somehow
  To unleash this childish joy and warmth
  Without my anticipation
  
  It's a long way from home one to the other side
  A fucked up journey
  When you try to walk away from yourself
  From the darkest corner of your mind
  The decision was made somehow
  Without your anticipation
  
  Into the never-ending sunset
  The memory, a so called friend,
  Is always accompanying me,
  Torturing me by reflecting what I was
  
  I can not free myself from the memories
  In the land of the never-ending sun
• 12. Grey Whisper (06:49)
   copy

  Dust and oblivion lay down onto my name
  My stone they've raped with the rules of the game
  
  A grey whisper dying
  New grey day upon me
  Fetters all the colours
  That once used to be
  
  No, you can't deny it
  Can't deny the raining
  Catch my tears falling…
  And sip of me, and drink of me, at last.
  
  As if you didn't know, me, memory, to tame
  I should have known it would never be the same
  I'd live twice the pain to even be the flowers
  You'd hold for me in vain
  
  Dust and oblivion lay down onto my name
  My stone they've raped with the rules of the game
  
  I'm like lost chapters of an old and welken book
  Please wipe your tears, my dear,
  And my funeral look
  
  Driven by suffering
  Haunted by hate
  Whatever tomorrow brings
  I sharpened my blade
  
  As if you didn't know, me, memory, to tame
  I should have known it would never be the same
  
  A grey whisper dying
  New grey day upon me
  Fetters all the colours
  That once used to be
  
  No, you can't deny it
  Can't deny the raining
  Catch my tears falling
  And sip of me, and drink of me, at last
  
  Where are the sweet poems
  Pieces of the whole
  Pictures of you, violins
  To indulge my broken soul
  
  Rain, music you wrote
  For your beloved dead
  Word splintered before
  They could have been said
  I'd die once more
  To live this moment again
  To hold you near
  To soothe my pain
  
  Driven by suffering
  Haunted by hate
  Whatever tomorrow brings
  I sharpened my blade
  Driven by suffering
  Haunted by hate
  
  Driven by suffering
  Haunted by hate
  Whatever tomorrow brings
  I sharpened my blade
