Stars Unite

|
The abyss is your course, you're gonna sail away tonight
Without any cause you believe it's the only way for you to feel alright
Weaving the web of chaos
The dawn will shake the memories
Ignoring reflections and echoes
Full speed ahead to the abyss
The nightskies are mourning all alone
The nighteyes are watching us all night long
Crimson canvas of the night
Is the realm where the stars unite (tonight)
Dreams once sacrificed
Won't be reborn tonight
There's a lot of ways to close your eyes but your choice is the big sleep
It seems you'll never realize that it's an everlasting one-way trip
This world is not a birthplace
For your insane intentions
You are so close to being erased
Oh, victim of self-deception
The nightskies are mourning all alone
The nighteyes are watching us all night long
Crimson canvas of the night
Is the realm where the stars unite (tonight)
Dreams once sacrificed
Won't be reborn tonight
The canvas of the night
Is the realm where the hopes ignite
Skyfields of fading light
Are where the stars collide
Will the sun return next morning?
But the sun will come to isolate us from the nighttime
And we'll be alive again

Insurrection
05:16
|

They promised us freedom and constant tranquility
But their promises turned out to lack all stability
Corruption lies in their hearts
Infection has spread too far
And fire came pouring from the sky
Higher into eternity we fly
And liars with their ever-watchful eye
Looked down from their ivory towers high
This is the time when their control and might will die
Shall the end of their domination and regime be nigh
Our flame will diminish never
Our legacy will live on forever
Our spirit will not be lost
Our resources will never exhaust
Their hunger
Their greed
They feed as we bleed
Deception
Distraction
As their weapons of destruction

Miles to a Paradise
03:48
|
|||
|
We're searching for a meaning
While marching in the rain
Longing for a new beginning
Seeking something new to attain
Still so many miles to a paradise
Still too many miles to a paradise
At first it all seems so intriguing
As you find something to behold
But the looks can be deceiving
All that glitters is not gold
Somehow I'll find a way to free my soul
The winds shall be my guide
In the end this all shall make me whole
No matter what we'll find
There is no greater forgiveness
Every single thing eventually breaks
There is no greater sickness
Than to repeat your past's mistakes
There's so many miles to a paradise
There's too many miles to a paradise
Somehow I will find a way to free my soul
In the end this all shall make me whole

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
There lived a great ruler
The emperor of north
The ruler had a quest
To overthrow the southern regime
Warriors by his side
Under starlit sky
The road led to south
Pick up your swords
Prepare for worst
Brace your morale
This war is ours
Pick up your swords
Prepare for worst
Don't let the vision die
Brace your morale
This war is ours
But the road is long
In the southern realm
Little did they know
A war was on the way
The south all unprepared
Didn't stand a chance against the northern greed
Soldiers on the ground
Making no sound
Telling no tales
When they came and conquered your land
They gave you a choice and said:
"All you had and all you'll ever have
Has been reclaimed by this empire
Give us your fortune and word of loyalty
And we will let you keep your life"

Buried Under Snow
08:00
|

Buried under snow
Drowning your spirits
Dreaming of crescent moons
Waiting for the dusk that tomorrow brings
Angel of sorrow
Angel of winter
Bringing you from the depths of the Gaia
Her face is colored by death
Pale and unafraid
Her mind will go to places unknown
As she keeps you buried underneath the snow
Her mind will go to places unknown
She keeps you buried under snow
In a grim black coffin
She holds your breath
She ties the strings
Time became nothing
The weary hallucinations grow fast into fragile cries
It's a torment we must face
Surviving a world in despair
Dying under gentle stars
As they cradle her carefree nightmares
Constructed thousands of sleet
This is where she belongs
Life in a chest enclosed by grey
Her mind will go to places unknown
She keeps you buried underneath the snow
In a grim black coffin
She holds your breath
She ties the strings
Queen of the darkness
She wants no less
Heart made of iron
Turn it to stone
Feeling the power of frozen tears
I couldn't feel anymore low
Buried under cold white snow
Obscure terrors plague agony
Bleak dreams make her resilient
Morrow will no longer wait
For cemetery days are to be elapsed
Erased with serpent's slither
It screams and it shrieks

Awakening
07:59
|
|||
|
Unearth the light below the abyss
Leads to my gallery of failures
I curse the stars that guide me there
Shattered frames beyond repair
It manifests between the lines
Of every picture like a parasite
Awakening from the darkest night
A graveyard for my dying light
Life's touch sends shivers down my spine
The death of all those dreams
The calling from the grave
Dare I face the break of dawn?
I feel a darkness lurk inside
Where meaning has no voice
Darken the path on lifeless roads
Where I still have no choice
Survive the apex of your storm
Too numb to feel the frost
Open the memories of pain
Like scars of old
Unheard in blizzards I provoked
Stone cold expression on her face
This light will cast no shadows
or show reflections in her eyes
Traverse the abyss of your frail mind
Weakness can thaw what's inside you, for me to find
Corrupted Eden in the realms of sleep
This sense of rot will stain my sight
And in my gallery
A place I built on agony
Awakening in disbelief
A trail of death from where I've been
The frozen lands that taint my dreams
Barren wastes of cold
Fearing the warmth you bring
Touched by your false awakening
To lay down is to be reborn
Stand face to face with all my scorn
To wake up is to die again

Scars of Sorrow
10:06
|
|||
|
The smoke was covering the devastated place
The nearest hideaway was finally out of sight
You never wanted to be lost in that disgusting maze
But I just couldn't let you leave that space behind
All you could do is to behold the silent frames
For you it wasn't brighter than the moonless night
The temporary breathing patterns with the different names
Were all around you, and there was no place to hide
I will return to hurt you as the endless echo in your head
I'll be alive inside you, even if you want me to be dead
The scars of sorrow
Are the only thing you gotta greet
The flicker of tomorrow
No longer shines the way it did
The autumn was enslaved by the breath of frost
That was defeated later by the vernal stare
But it was out of your attention, I suppose
You were so empty and didn't care
And when it came for you to change the way you lived
You lit a newborn fire in your weary eyes
You put the revolution on its mighty feet
With your deep scars of sorrow you began to rise
One day you'll let me in your chamber once again
And I will sting you just like before
Don't hide your face, all your attempts will be in vain
There's nothing in this world that's gone forevermore

Until the End of Days
05:43
|
|||
|
Can you hear the choir sing
A requiem for your memory
Without your wings to fly
You're not yourself anymore
With your broken wings
You cannot fly anymore
With your crestfallen mind
There's no deliverance
Darkness absorbs your spirit
Coldness congeals your body
Depression seizes your will
Silence suffocates your flame
You can wait forevermore but the wounds will never heal
You can wait 'til the end of days but the answers will never reveal
You can wait forevermore but the ulcers will never seal
You can wait 'til the end of days but it won't change how you feel
And when the silence breaks your will
Leaving you with but eternity
You can hear the choir call your name
To bring you home

Voice of Aftermath
06:54
|

|
Destructive aims control your credent mind
"We were born to die"
You say again and again
You're on your way to fade away
One more excuse is brought to this world
To defend a random thought
A bleeding sign
Drawing a line to walk on
I'll make you go astray
You shall obey
You have no choice
I'll be your inner voice
I'll procreate your brand new joys
No matter what you say
I'll force you to betray your past
I'll turn you into dust
You're gonna be aghast
I'll make you go insane
You'll watch my reign
You have no choice
I'll be your inner voice
I'll procreate your brand new joys
No matter what you say
I'll force you to betray your pride
You'll feel so weak inside
Though it was different in your mind
You won't stay the same
After the hurricane
That'll change the way you live
You better believe
There will be no relief
Your goal's to reach the point of no return
While the blood is running through your veins
While you're wearing your sweet chains
Don't be afraid tonight
I'll fill your feeble mind with dreams
To cut away your wings
Devote your life to useless things
My script will make it end
Before you understand
That light is not so bright tonight
The things were different in your mind
I'll make you go insane
As you'll watch my reign
I'll be your inner voice
I'll procreate your brand new joys

Peace of Mind
03:29
|

|
Serenity seems so unreachable
Complacency so unrelatable
Every hour. every single minute
In this mindset will be a waste
But there's no escape from its reach
There seems to be no way out
I have this feeling in my head
I'll never be at peace before I'm dead
I have this war inside my head
To find the peace of mind
Forever lost in this eternal wheel
Eternal wheel of time
While walking on the face of this earth
This lunar masterpiece
I have this feeling (in my head)
I have this war (inside my head)
