1. WISH OF AUTUMN TWILIGHT

Knowledge and power
Two sides of the same coin
Acquired on a journey
Of many lifetimes
A promise not fulfilled
Until the final embrace

Restless dreams now fade
One by one in the veil of every night
Only to be greeted the day
Bright red dawn of a magical spring

A spark ignites a fire
That light up inside
It's destiny to burn
Until the end of each life
Ancestral guidance stems from inside

A spirit of old lies deep within
His might and his power
Always at hand
The will of thousand gods

Deep inside the temple
Where the spirit resides
There is a lake so calm
Its waters cannot be distrubed

The mind travels
To the edge of the world
Finding peace only inside a dream

Now the spirit's gone
Left this body behind
The temple lies sealed
And the water has dried
The gates cannot opened
The heart can't be reached
Closing the eyes a final and silent
Wish of autumn twilight


2. DARK EARTH

It all began,
When it wondered about itself.
Then the first true son of Saturn,
Separated from the whole.

The mind stuck in patterns,
In a game, that you don’t get the rules.
Struggling so hard,
To stay in the board a little more.
Break the bond.

A race with no price,
Bleed for your demise.
Pain and suffering have no place for life.
Dark earth, reflecting back to us.
When the choice is slumber, everything shall end.

Glorified worship of death,
Stained with fear.
Hollowed, we never see it all.

We place our lives
In the hands of fake personas,
But still don’t trust
The real ones beside us.
Remake the bonds.

A race with no price,
Bleed for your demise.
Pain and suffering, have no place for life.
Dark earth, reflecting back to us.
When the choice is slumber, everything shall end.

Reason now forgotten,
Still we seek far away.
Forsaken, disconnected,
Still we march until the end.

Even with the warning signs right before our eyes,
Yet again we close them,
And accept the same old fate.
To your grave, walk...
To your grave, walk...


3. AS THE VEIL FADES

The shroud
Begins to dissolve
Of organic life
Opened the eye
To feel the touch of divine
Never looked away

But from the depths
I felt his presence
His eyes two black holes
He said to me
"I am the truth you seek
Embody me, I am the one true god
You seached, I cam for you"

Floating
On the realms above
To taste forbidden fruits
Blessed with clarity
The plains were haunted
By a shadow pulling the strings
A part of it inside me
Drawing power from my sorrow

You want to see me kneel
Under the weight of my burden
You are not the truth I seek
You don't belong in me

This constant sorrow is driving me insane
Survive past the shadows
To reach what lies beyond the veil


4. BLACK SAILS

Onwards
To explore the seas
That no one else ever dared
On top of the mast
A black flag dances softly
With the wind
From oak and pine
A ship floating on deep dark blue

A storm strikes from the north
With force my journey to end
Towering waves and terrifying winds
Strength of two elements combined
With a flash of lightning
The fear is no more

When I sail on a ship
With black flag
And black sails

Journey under boundless skies
On a vessel carrying
My dreams and hopes
Never casting anchor again
Until my heart decides to rest
Or the endless ocean swallows me

No empire can set borders on the endless seas
No ruler can tame the wildest storms
When riding the waves you choose your own path
When all doubt is withdrawn
You don't fear the unknown
Nor the eternity that lies ahead


5. SEEDS OF DECEPTION

Like all stories
This one begins
From the time when balance
And serenity ruled the earth
There was a time of war
Innocent lives were lost
Still they wondered
How all this began
How a man living a life of honor
Becomes a violent beast

Still I don't understand
How a man can curse the future
Of all generations to come

Once proud and free they roamed
Deceived they sealed their fate
Slaves to the dark blindly consumed
The blood of demons

The tides of war
Have spread the seeds
Of pain and hatred
No soothing voice
To calm their lust
For mass destruction
From the abyss
Ill crops will spring
A fated harvest

After years of war
The bloodlust never stopped
Corrupted souls tainted the earth
Drained of all life
Forever doomed to search
For a homeland of their own


6. SHADE OF THE SUN

They sit by the sun
Bathing in sunlight
Standing on top of us all
But never taste true warmth
Climbing higher and higher

The flock in front of mirrors
That never reflect the truth
Abandonment
And the need to connect
Stabbing the self
Again and again
To stop the pain
No

Never tamed
Never contained
Hear the primal scream
In tune with the gaian mind
Forever untouched, unbroken
A sacred primordial dream
The fall of imperium
Archaic revival

When resting in the shade
And the peace of twilight
In contemplation
Through the cradle of nostalgia
A feeling that something was lost

By the shade of the sun
Preserving
In the realm of the dark


7. CLOUDS GATHERING

(Instrumental)


8. THE RAIN

Into each life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and cold
The raindrops fall
At every gust of wind the dead leaves drop

Countless cleansing voices
Unite and demonize
The dry and dusty plight
Left by days of brutal beating sun

Embrace the storm inside
Traces of roots forgotten
Blessed by the gods of rain
Since the days of yore

Its beauty fulfilling
The sun returns its warmth
Its beauty fulfilling
As your soul journeys

I see the lightning in the storm
The tempest rage above
Led by fury divine
And the morning when the clouds scatter

From the soil life’s born
Once again
The sun returns its warmth
Into each life some rain must fall

Some days must be dark and cold
The raindrops fall
At every gust of wind the dead leaves, fall


9. THE PATH

For long
I delved into the place
My darkness dwells
Still the mountians sing to me
When I hear them calling
No more living in the shadows

Out in the wild
I feel the magic inside
Spirit of the warrior
In a modern world

A forlorn past
I saw enough
Now I return to the path
A shout of freedom in the air

Out in the wild
Thoughts like clouds they pass
Spirit of the warrior
The world is my home

It's time for the indigo to lead the way
And the crystal child to create

What is life when you step aside from your dreams?
Letting them dry and fade away
When you extinguish your flame
Instead of letting it burn
