1. THE GATHERING

(Instrumental)


2. PROVIDENCE

Through miles of ocean trails,
Free souls go against the wind
Across the sea to find the ones
Who never came back.

Ancient stories
Told by an old man,
A captain with restless hands.
Obtuse reality filled his mind.

Starting the journey
Are they near?
Tides of tears.
Under the deep blue sky,
Through endless lakes of glass
Songs of the unknown
Spirits of heroes rise.

Waves saying where the others went.
Empty voices, sweet chants of death,
Creatures lurking deep within
Invite the adventurers to lose themselves.

Tragic legends written in the sand
Persist through the dance of fate.
A captain who'd let his ship burn
Whilst the sailors would fight the flames.

Starting the journey
Are they near?
Tides of tears.
Under the deep blue sky,
Through endless lakes of glass
Songs of the unknown
Spirits of heroes rise.

Ancient stories
Told by an old man,
Disciples will hold his will.
Obtuse insanity had crossed the line.

Starting the journey
Are they near?
Tides of tears.
Under the deep blue sky,
Through endless lakes of glass
Songs of the unknown
Spirits of heroes rise.


3. BEYOND THE DEEP

Fresh air, but there’s no signs
Of what they left behind.
It’s now on their minds.

Sleepless nights,
Agony in their thoughts.

Despair inside.
Is all hope gone?

Beyond the deep,
A strange power sleeps,
But they go their own way,
Without a rest on their journey.
Unstoppable, invincible,
Looking for their fate.

Tides take away
The warm memory
Of their land.
Far from what they seek.

Disgrace around.
Oblivion of the sea.

Beyond the deep,
A strange power sleeps,
But they go their own way,
Without a rest on their journey.
Unstoppable, invincible,
Looking for their fate.

Time goes by
And they gather the strength
To continue to the end.
Fresh air in their faces
Brings calm,
Like the moments before a storm.

Beyond the deep,
A strange power sleeps,
But they go their own way,
Without a rest on their journey.
Unstoppable, invincible,
Looking for their destiny.


4. A FATEFUL ILLUSION

(Instrumental)


5. THE TEMPEST

Eyes open again, ashes fly away
The black veil of night is fading
How did we get here? Are we lost in a new dream?
It's time for us to face it

Far beyond the great unknown
There must be somewhere to travel
Flames and snow. A story is about to be born

Gathering our hope to cross through the ocean
Tides of strength will carry us to our fate
Free and untamed we will march again to discover a new land

Nights, meaningless time weakening us
And the journey was long and hard
The stars held us, as the storm cried above us

Far beyond the great unknown
There must be somewhere to travel
Lost, without a map, no signs to follow
We couldn't look back, fighting with death
There's a reason to be found

Gathering our hope to cross through the ocean
Tides of strength will carry us to our fate
Free and untamed we will march again to discover a new land

Black clouds in the horizon
Behold the power of the storm

Lightning, thunder
Tearing us apart
Desolation
Crawling towards us

Fire, water
Fighting to survive
Chaos, nightmare
But we're still alive

Waves of time healing our pain
We are in the hands of the Earth
Now the sun shines again
And we see at the end our Mainland

Gathering our hope to cross through the ocean
Tides of strength will carry us to our fate
Free and untamed we will march again to discover a new land

Lightning, thunder
Desolation
Fire, water
Chaos, nightmare

Lightning, thunder
Darkness, madness
Mainland, Mainland, Mainland!


6. HUNTRESS OF ASSYRIA

(Instrumental)


7. SWEET CHANTS OF DEATH

Come to me and feel
Embrace the cold on your skin
I will set you free
Just listen to the secrets of the deep

We are coming for you tonight
We are hunting your soul until dawn

We are the sound of the sea
We are the caress of the wind
Come to us and you will see
That all around you is a dream

I hide the madness
That makes you full of sadness
Take my present and the darkness
Will become into sweet kindness

We are coming for you tonight
We are hunting your soul until dawn

We are the sound of the sea
We are the caress of the wind
Come to us and you will see
That all around you is a dream

There’s no way to hide
There’s no way to go back
Put your prayers aside
Your soul is mine

We are the sound of the sea
We are the caress of the wind
Close your eyes and you will see
That all around you belongs to me

We seek, we hunt, we bring despair
We come, we lead, you sing our sweet chant of death


8. THRENODY

Brother
I feel alone
The days go by slowly
Since you've been gone
They say you're not
Coming back to me
Take away my fear
Show me you're near

Blood of my blood
I'm lost without you
You are everything I've got
Misery tries to take
You away from me
But I'm still here
And I will wait

Brother
I'm alone
The absence of your soul
Leaves us
Without hope
The storm took away my fear
I can feel that you are near

Blood of my blood
I'm lost without you
You are everything I've got
Misery tries to take
You away from me
But I'm still here
And I will wait

"You just have to listen to the melody
To bring your brother back
There are no limits in your mind."

Blood of my blood
I'm lost without you
You were everything I had
Misery tried to take
You away from me
But I'm still here
And I will wait


9. TIDES OF INSANITY

Silent melodies caressing his thoughts
The sound of the depths reminds him of old times
A voice from the past sings a lullaby
It's the only way he knows how to get back

Sweet dreams, my little angel
Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you
Just hold on to me and listen to my melody

He hardly remembers his beloved
Soft hands that held him in the night
The only way to his empty but real life
Her dry lips that can no longer pronounce

Come with me, my love
Come and rest on my chest
I'll give you my life
Feel my power and my strength

Strange sensations in the air
Turn a pure soul into an evil one
Invisible hands around his neck
Making him face his men as if they were demons

Death melody, I can hear their steps coming to me
Discovering all the madness that was hidden in me
Bright blood, sweet smell warriors of the underworld
Fill my lost mind, wandering army floods my place
Wiping out everything I believed in

Oh, oh, I perceive a flame that burns me from the inside
As I never felt the sacred pain holding my breath
I feel like going with the wind
Flying away from this torment

Now that i've seen the light, I feel like i've gone too far
There is no longer a chance, and the darkness takes over my being
Sanity drowned in the shadows of insanity, yeah
Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane

The steps I heard, are they real?
Ghosts lead me to my end
Banishing me from my place
My conscience still can't understand

Unfortunate twist of fate
It was too late for him to recant
Tangible hands around his neck
And throw him off the ship to end his hurtful curse

Lambs of God in danger under the evil's eyes
Hell on Earth, time to embrace the faith

Waters return to their ritual, and they take a breath way from the beast
They have managed to survive
They look up to find solid ground
They face their new destiny
Across the sea, dancing with the wind
Somehow it's their time
The chance is now, beyond the sea

The water is calm now
The waves lead us to a new dawn
The stars fade like ashes in the wind
With the promise of a new dream
The breeze gives us strength to forget all the pain
No one to blame

We don't know where we are
We look for our new land
No time for us to look back
We don't know what we will find
We won't stop until we hit the ground
Even if a new storm brings back
The suffering we felt, we'll stay on our way
Oh-oh-oh, we won't give in
Oh-oh-oh, we'll stay on our way

A new trip, we are here
Closer to our dream
Caresses from the wind
A new trip, we are here
Closer to our dream

We are here for the loved ones that in our hearts will always be
