1. LUMINANCE AND ABYSS

"In an age of crystalline wonders
Destiny sundered the paths of two siblings
Eirene, and Lork
Intertwined in hardened spirit, yet divided by fate

Lork, darkened within
Committed patricide and joined the Rejects
Corrupted aeons exiled in the forsaken realms
Eirene awakened to a resplendent inner-light
And guided by their sage grandfather Serafin
Sought to craft an ethereal weapon

Her journey was destined to unveil the enigma
Of the aeons existence
A quest that danced on the delicate edge
Between the brilliance of luminance
And the depths of the abyss"

3. THE VESSEL

So it is true, I am the chosen one
A single tear gave me away
I know I'm strong, I know I'm just, still I don't understand
Why this calling was trusted in me

Shall I engrave? How shall I cut this blade?
Saving the world comes with no clue
Oh crystal please, show me the way, help me to understand
Use my pain and my love for your plan

And like a fire when it starts
Inspiration does shine
The mundane gives way to the divine
I feel it flow through my veins
In this mystic delight
Where the force of crеation takes flight

Beating the hammеr on the anvil
We forge and live our wisdom
For the glory of our soul
For the honor of the crystal sword
Shaping the fate of Aeons
We rise and live forever (together)
I will brandish the holy sword

Matter transformed crafted by Aeons' light
All of their hands working through mine
My task is done, I feel relieved, now I do understand
I'm the vessel of true deity

And like a fire now it starts
Art and genius entwine
The White Stars have unlocked the divine
I feel it flow through my veins
In this mystic delight
Where the force of creation takes flight

Beating the hammer on the anvil
We forge and live our wisdom
For the glory of our soul
For the honor of the crystal sword
Shaping the fate of Aeons
We rise and live forever (together)
I will brandish the holy sword

Ardor of creation
Inebriating force
I devote my hand to your luster
Ardor of creation
Allow me to become a faithful
Instrument of your glorious power

Beating the hammer on the anvil
We forge and live our wisdom
For the glory of our soul
For the honor of the crystal sword
Shaping the fate of Aeons
We rise and live forever
I will brandish the holy sword


4. THE EMPIRE OF BLACK DEATH

Mox! Ad arma! Haec prima nox est!
Scuta et gladios, ocyus! Gloria vocat nos!

You gave this broken soul a place within your tribe
At once you swore allegiance, in me you did confide
An honor I received beneath the moon's cold breath
I am commander of this legion, The Empire of Black Death

Rise up, Rejects! Time to go and steal the show
Rise up, Rejects! Time to take back our place in the world
Rise up, Rejects! Time to shape our own revenge
Rise up, Rejects, Rise!
This is a call to arms!

Solemnly I swear
Before my people
I'll fight until I have conquered

From the Forsaken Realms, we rise in feral might
With hearts encased in vengeance, we yearn to claim our right
Through eerie hollows where vile crimson shadows seep
We march as one with our specters, as fate's dark hands we'll reap

Rise up, Rejects! Time to go and steal the show
Rise up, Rejects! Time to take back our place in the world
Rise up, Rejects! Time to shape our own revenge
Rise up, Rejects, Rise!
This is a call to arms!

Solemnly I swear
Before my people
I'll fight until I have conquered wisdom

March away!

His voice cuts through the rush, a call that we all praise
Our shackled past now embers with fire in his gaze
An honor we received beneath the moon's cold breath
We are the brotherhood of Rejects, The Empire of Black Death

Rise up, Rejects! Time to go and steal the show
Rise up, Rejects! Time to take back our place in the world
Rise up, Rejects! Time to shape our own revenge
Rise up, Rejects, Rise!
This is a call to arms!

Solemnly I swear
Before my people
I'll fight until I have conquered wisdom
Solemnly I swear
Before my people
I'll fight until I have conquered wisdom


5. UNENDING

Nightfall comes and time stands still
As dreams linger on your lips
Staring in silence, I know my miracle is here
In this harbor you're safe as you'll ever be
In my arms

How can I measure this love?
It's the Cosmos that grows without bounds
It's the stride of the time
It's the brilliance of truth
It's unending

Now that you are here
I keep chasing off the fear
of your loss
My heart skips a beat
I could never be complete
without you

Kneeling in silence, I pray you'll always be in light
In this moment I'm full as I'll ever be
Holding you

How can I measure this love?
It's the Cosmos that grows without bounds
It's the stride of the time
It's the brilliance of truth
It's unending

How can I measure this love?
It's the Cosmos that grows without bounds
It's the stride of the time
It's the brilliance of truth
It's unending

And when I'm gone
Wherever you are my love will find you
It will lead you back home
To the place of the heart

Oh! How can I measure this love?
It's the Cosmos that grows without bounds
It's the stride of the time
the briliance of truth
Oh! Now and forever
I will take you and bring you inside
this love is unending

I can't measure love
I can't put it into words
I can only hope it shows
Cause everything that I ever do
Is for you


6. MINISTERS OF LIGHT

What did they whisper into your soul?
Was it demeaning? Was it cold?
Did they persuade you they're in control?
Did you believe them, did you fold?

Voices of darkness will get under your skin
pressing their fingers on your fears
silently lurking their evil rites begin
twisting the truth while no one hears

Words that cut, and heads that fall,
Call for fire...

Burn! Burn down the lies, these sins in disguise
Prepare for the fight! We're the Ministers of Light
The guilt they've instilled in the depths of your heart
Doesn't need any thought, you can let it all go
Defiant and fierce let the blameless right the wrong

Looking for answers, we may have made mistakes,
there are no thorns on our stem
They deem us misfits, they hope our spirit breaks,
but the forsaken ones are them

Words that cut, and heads that fall,
Lost desires, drenched in the rain.
Wounds that bleed, and tears that stall,
Who will shield your blaze from the bane?
Call for fire
Call for fire,
Call for fire,
Call for...

Burn! Burn down the lies, these sins in disguise
Prepare for the fight! We're the Ministers of Light
The guilt they've instilled in the depths of your heart
Doesn't need any thought, you can let it all go
Defiant and fierce let the blameless right the wrong


7. PROXIMITY

In the decline of affection
There's the intimate reflection
Of the ruthless imperfection
Of this brotherly connection
Opposites' attraction

Can't you see our portion belongs to us
He's not here, he led us to this moment of truth
We can't help it, we're two sides of fate
It's our fault, there's feelings we can't hide anymore

In front of each other but so far apart
I feel this proximity that shreds me in two
In the way I'm drawn to you
In the way I'm pulled from you
Malaurеum


8. SOULBOUND SYMPHONY

We're close, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls, where the end crawls
The two sides cross swords

Underneath the blood red sky,
As tension rises high,
soldiers ignited by stellar beams,
march to summon forth their violent dreams.

Drums resound, Lork dons his shield
and scans the shadowed field
seeking his foe, Eirene, sword in grasp,
Their eyes meet with an unspoken clasp.

Here comes the showdown, hymns of destruction incite with fury the ride into battle

The medallions on their chest,
twin symbols of their quest
Into the heat they merge, morph and shine,
A true testament of sign divine.

As Malaureum's force compels,
the crystal sword excels
each kill now captures the fallen's soul,
as it reaps the grim war's dire toll.

Here comes the showdown, hymns of destruction incite with fury the ride into battle

Can't you hear me play this soulbound symphony?
every swing is like a saving note soaring free
hear the chords progress, a waltz of jubilee
my baton's a crystal crafting pure harmony

No longer a weapon
an urn full of pain
the keeper of memories
of spirits it chains
with every soul imbibed
the white crystal sword is
slowly turning black

Eaons of darkness tethered to the sword
this is your prison finely forged by light

Can't you hear me play this soulbound symphony?
every swing is like a saving note soaring free
hear the chords progress, a waltz of jubilee
my baton's a crystal crafting pure harmony

No longer a weapon
an urn full of pain
the keeper of memories
of spirits it chains
powered by souls imbibed
the black sword is charged
and reaching the last movement of this sonata
our triumphant choir will rise


9. MY BLOOD AND BLADE

In their final hour under fate's desire
Siblings summoned to duel atop the pyre
In their crucial hour all their demons slay
Bound by blood's oath through the dawn of decay

Flashes of brilliance piercing through the sky
Raising from the clash of spirits united by blood and blade
A primeval imperfect connection severed by blood and blade
Where all threads weave into darkness

Yes, unleash your fury
Clash as I have foreseen
Fight until your final breaths
Let chaos guide your hands

Flashes of brilliance piercing through the sky
Raising from the clash of spirits united by blood and blade
A primeval imperfect connection severed by blood and blade
Where all destiny's threads intertwine
Raising the rage of the rival

Wisdom come!

Lork with errant step now bares an open flank
So Eirene embraces the obligations of her rank
Shattered by the weight of duty's heavy plight
She strikes and his essence fades into the great blade's night

Flashes of brilliance piercing through the sky
Raising from the clash of spirits united by blood and blade
A primeval imperfect connection severed by blood and blade
Where all destiny's threads intertwine
Taming the rage of the rival she unravels the fight!

(The end crawls
On the last two souls
In a barren world
All that's left is destruction
Prospect slit
By a dreadful split
When the fates are done
The Black crystal is calling
Its last divine soul)


10. MYSTIC ECHOES

In a fleeting moment's haze
I thought I saw your face
Yearning for the warmth, the tenderness
I'll have to live a life of loneliness
All 'cause of you

Just as I foresaw
Aeons are naught but
Transient custodians of crystalline charge
The great reversal
Will grant our wisdom
A worthy reward for our sacrifice

The crucial part of my plan was to plot and instigate
The war between
Good and evil

In mystic echoes, true power burns
From borrowed times now back to the source it returns

To trigger thе shift
This fateful struggle
Had to be born of a bond most profound
And from thе fusion
Of these medallions
Amulets sundered since the night of time

The crucial part of my plan was to meld and activate
The link between
Light and darkness

In mystic echoes, true power burns
From borrowed times now back to the source it returns


11. UNDER THE SHADOW

My world, my family
Wrecked by my own blood
I feel I'm breaking
Under the shadow

I get it now, I trusted you
You've betrayed, all I hold true
Felt used, our bond abused, now all is lost
You shattered my faith, left me broken and bruised

It's building up, it's building up, it's building up, my wrath
Is building up, beyond my command
It's tearing up, it's tearing up, it's tearing up, my mind
Is tearing up, I'm losing control

My world, my family
Wrecked by my own blood
I feel I'm breaking
Under the shadow

I gave you my all, but you tossed it aside
We could have found a way, but you chose the warpath
Now perish you monster, your chest is wide open
Your essence dismembers and fills my sword

It's building up, it's building up, it's building up, my grief
Is building up, it's drowning my soul
It's tearing up, it's tearing up, it's tearing up, my heart
Is tearing up, I'm losing it all

My world, my family
Wrecked by my own blood
I feel I'm breaking
Under the shadow

Though I would like to stay
You destroyed our world
You shattered everything
You exploited my trust
You took forever away
And led me out here with no future

My world, my family
Wrecked by my own blood
I feel I'm breaking
Under the shadow

Oh, I'd like to stay under the White Stars
Awaiting the warm relief of a new dawn
I would welcome the day with unending elation
But something far greater than me
Has been placed into my hands
I'll be fighting the best I can
To remain in the light
I'll follow your love back home
Right back to the place of the heart
Where there is never shadow


12. SEA OF SOLITUDE

In this hollow wasteland
Over the ruins I curse your name
I know that for you there's no redemption
Your soul is lost
As it should be

Each time that I look in the mirror of my pain
Your distant reflection still remains
I knew you were hurt but I failed to find a way
To mend every wound that led you astray

And here I am all alone
Crying at your memory
Drifting on the blue
Of my sea of solitude
All that's left of you is me
All that's left of me is clarity
A wisdom I have found here on my own

And by the way I love you
And by the way I miss you so
I must not lie
Although you left me in desolation
I can't erase
What's in my heart

I'm thankful because in the chaos of your storm
(Fantasy, let us ride upon your wings)
A braver and stronger me was born
(Let us ride, let us ride, let us ride upon your wings)
I'll shoulder my fate with the teachings of this strife
(Fantasy, let us ride upon your wings)
I'll harness my light and shape it into life

And here I am all alone
Crying at your memory
Drifting on the blue
Of my sea of solitude
All that's left of you is me
All that's left of me is clarity
I found it on my own
In a moment life has ended
In a moment I was stranded
Yet I know you're here within


13. ARTIFEX

Praised be the ashes of my ancestors
I'll shape my wisdom into new life
Spark of creation come to my sword
I'm making a brand new world
(A brand new world)
(A brave new world)
