1 WINGS OF FIRE

(Instrumental)


2. ASHES OF TIME

Will I be undone by desire?
Council me my will is weak
Shadows speak
I’m treading a wire
Strung between my dreamscape and defeat
Help me

When dusk descends will I look back in peace?
My seasons passed, my being breathed
And at the end what worthy cause did I defend?
Our legacy is all we leave

Cold hearts yearn for days lost, never seized
I fear the depths of my regret
Are lessons learnt in comfort and shelter
Or suffering the mountains steep?

Build your pyre
Torch the doubt
Kill the envy
My jealous streak won’t control me
Life of worth
All I want is my freedom
My time to keep
You can’t buy my loyalty

When dusk descends will I look back in peace?
My seasons passed, my being breathed
And at the end what worthy cause did I defend?
Our legacy is all we leave

Will I be undone by desire?
Council me my will is weak
Shadows speak
I’m treading a wire
Strung between my dreamscape and defeat
Help me

When dusk descends will I look back in peace?
My seasons passed, my being breathed
And at the end what worthy cause did I defend?
Our legacy is all we leave

Cold hearts yearn for days lost, never seized
I fear the depths of my regret
Are lessons learnt in comfort and shelter
Or suffering the mountains steep?

Build your pyre
Torch the doubt
Kill the envy
My jealous streak won’t control me
Life of worth
All I want is my freedom
My time to keep
You can’t buy my loyalty

When dusk descends will I look back in peace?
My seasons passed, my being breathed
And at the end what worthy cause did I defend?
Our legacy is all we leave


3. SONG TITLE: SIX OF SWORDS

I made my bed from glass and poor judgment
Each shard a token of my grief
You wouldn’t believe my tales
What could I do but run for the mountains?
Confined I’ll be restored anew
Remembering who I am

Haunt me not my dear memories
I can’t bear living in this fear
Hold me near
I’m yours
I’m yours

Flee
The ghosts won’t find me here
I’ll flee
Lose the bodies in the sea
Flee
Escape into the black trees
Oh please
Forgive the worst of me

By firelight I farewelled my demons
In the shroud of night vowed to change my fate
To make my escape somehow
Cruel whispers carry across open waters
Reminding me I might want to forget
But they’ll never let me go

Haunt me not my dear memories
I can’t bear living in this fear
Hold me near
I’m yours
I’m yours

Flee
The ghosts won’t find me here
I’ll flee
Lose the bodies in the sea
Flee
Escape into the black trees
Oh please
Forgive the worst of me


4. IMMORTAL PENITENCE

There was an age of peace
Man thrived in prosperity
Living long
Old age unknown
In paradise, his home
Rue the day that they accepted heaven's flame

Fire was thieved
The golden age will be grieved
On your knees
Olympus will have it’s vengeance

Now man will know of pain
Now man will know of death
Once fortune was endless
Now we beg for forgiveness
(Have mercy on us)
Is it enough?

A cruel conspiracy devised
Divine retribution
Pure malice concealed within desire

Woe unleashed
Sadness and poverty
Fear hand in hand with disease
Misery descends on dark wings and breeds
The end although it seems near
Hope appears

Forgive me
I failed
I had to look
I couldn’t stand it
Created, exploited
What have I released?

Now man will know of pain
Now man will know of death
Once fortune was endless
Now we beg for forgiveness
(Have mercy on us)
Is it enough?
Enter temptation
She’s born to torment him
(Now he will know lust)
Is it enough?
(Will it ever be enough?)

Now man will know of pain
Now man will know of death
Never enough our greed’s to blame
Paradise lost amongst the flames
