1. ASCENDANCY

where is my showdown?
where is my epic twist?
when reality kicks in again
I struggle to end up in bliss

northern lights shape my sky
enjoying the absence of light
a lunar eclipse of mind
I haven‘t been the best of me
for quite some time
you haven‘t met the best of me

down? not right ...

transcendance ... towards my home

(transcendance) my life began
(ascendancy) where fear would end
(transcendance) tranquillity in all I do
I sleep with faith to find myself
(find myself)

I‘m searching for myself
till all the pieces fit
this chapter’s coming to an end
now love is black
that can‘t be all, a new beginning
from the start is what I need
a silver lining in the dark
where do I start?

down? not right ...

(transcendance) my life began
(ascendancy) where fear would end
(transcendance) tranquillity in all I do
I sleep with faith to find myself
the set of a cruel reality, I fade it out
but there’s still days that shadows take me down

you‘re far from me
a beautiful yet burning star
the symphony of summer nights
so bright, so cruel, so deep, so far
my past?
so close and yet so far

transcendance, ascendancy

mark my words
ban the chaos inside
I still feel you inside my veins
I still feel you in my mind

ascendancy ... as darkness falls

(transcendance) my life began
(ascendancy) where fear would end
(transcendance) tranquillity in all I do
I sleep with faith to find myself

the set of a cruel reality, I fade it out
illuminate the shaded path of truth
so some day I may
find myself like born anew


2. THE REALISATION

last time I tried
daimonic interference
in the eye of the mind
we can spot many things
trapped in a world
trapped in a loop
trapped in a hole
beyond our own devising

ashes and pines
pylons and fire
burn brighter this time
inside the rabbit hole’s
where your future meets the past
when worlds collide
when will you realise
that we’re just stories

loose ends ... time wired
accept ... it’s happening again
realise ... alone you sleep
and alone you dream

crossroads
rites
pylons, fires
aeons, night
life, will
hyper sigil
lust alive
burn brighter
real eyes

loose ends ... time wired
accept ... it’s happening again
realise ... alone you sleep
and alone you dream
loose ends ... time wired
accept ... and alone you dream

next time I try
daimonic interference
living a dream inside a dream

when was the last time that you really tried
when will the time come that you realise
your strength

it’s all within you
it’s happening
within you


3. THE ALCHEMYST

aōth abaōth basym
isak sabaōth iaō

this is the story of an experiment
the story of an initiation
all of you who share our fire
who join us in the otherworld
become a part of us
find your mission
find the keys
find your purpose
find companions
I summoned you, headless one
who created earth and heaven
who created night and day
who created the light and the darkness

blurring senses
now it is not the time to keep pretending
there’s nothing and no one behind
as we walk
I better give you credit for
what you do
for this night could rewrite us all

combine again
the precious and the vile
join the ritual
make this
the night
of our lives

last time into blackness
I'm the headless one
I'll find myself invincible
empowered and repentless
(daybreak) leaves me breathless
yet we're facing all our inner demons
on the face of the abyss

we better fix ourselves or die
that sorrow beyond all those broken dreams
is just another shadow shining through
another third eye spy is waiting right in line

it might change lives they said
in incandescent light
we call upon thee
for our sacrifice

intensify
the numinous feels right
we call upon thee
for our sacrifice
for our new lives

last time into blackness
we're the headless ones
we find ourselves invincible
empowered and repentless
(last dive) into darkness
we were facing all our inner demons
on the face of the abyss

we find ourselves alive

life can begin (again)
we were facing all our inner demons
on the face of the abyss
