1. PRELUDE

(Instrumental)


2. AT THE DAWN

Dressed with livery of ra
I wait for his manifestation
Inside the temple of his ancient god
I'm the priest of pharaoh
My duty is to pray to our lord
Until the morning light erase the night

You're welcome sun, ardent messiah
Bless the world with your holy touch
I sing this song to hail your power
When you rise at the dawn

Dressed with livery of ahau kin
Who's got the secret of creation
I wait for him to make a sacrifice
I'm a mayan sorcerer
My duty is to honor our lord
When the morning light erase the night


3. RED BARON'S KISS

Fire! you are in my direct line
A target for my sight
Receive red baron's kiss
Missed! a word not in my list
I add another nick
Watching at your falling plane
Silver clouds are dancing down
With my enemies all around
I'm the beauty and the beast
You may encounter in the sky

See the fire burning in my eyes
When I spread my wings to fly
And I follow you, I follow you
start to pray closed in your cage
It grows your fear as it grows my rage
When I follow you, I follow you in the sky

I land, victory in my hand
A girl jumps to my neck
Ready for red baron's kiss
Missed! a word not in my list
I add another nick
I watch her falling at my feet
Stocks of birds are flying high
People cheering all around
I'm the beauty and the beast
You may encounter in your life


4. WINTER STORM

Feverish, mystifying
You are raving on the ice freezing your soul
Trembling and starting to stutter
You point your finger to the North
"I was hunting in the night
When it started to snow
And the wind changed its whisper in a howl
Icy needles in my eyes
My blood flow slowed down
I was wandering all alone
Through a winter storm"

You are prey to the storm
You are losing your force and
You must fight on your own to survive
To the growing rage of winter storm

Delirious, almost dreamlike
You continue the story of your fight with frost
Smiling and starting to cry
You thank the spirit of the wolf
"I was dying in the night"
All covered by snow
When the wind carried me a digging sound
A shadow in front of my eyes
A warm breath on my face
Something or someone led me out
Of winter storm"


5. BALTHAZAR

Every time I feel you
Even when I close my eyes
A mystic vision in my mind
And every time I see you
As the result of reading tarot
I look into the sky for a sign
Spirits of the ancients
Show me the way

I will go through the dark
Following a guiding star
I will cross the desert sand
Carrying incense in my hand
I will go through the night
Following the guiding light
I will cross the desert sand
Balthazar the wise man

Every time I look for you
In the garden of my thoughts
I find a lily of pure light
And every time I dream of you
I fall in the abyss of time
Just like a feather flying in the wind
Spirits of the ancients
Show me the way


6. POST FATA RESURGO

In a desert secret spring
An holy place no one has ever seen
I wash my feathers while I sing
And everything becomes a golden dream
So even the sun god is mesmerized, listening to me
I am the morning star
The soul of ra and here is my words:
Post fata resurgo

Forever and ever, I burn in the fire
Forever and ever life after life
And from my ashes I born time after time
Cause stronger than ever
A phoenix will rise forevermore

When I feel my time has come
More or less every five hundred years
With myrtle, frankincense and myrrh
I build my nest on top of a tree
And I let the sun rays
Consume my body up to kill me
I am the oldest symbol
Of resurrection and here is my words:
Post fata resurgo


7. COUNTDOWN TO INFINITY

Twenty! nineteen! look into yourself
Eighteen! seventeen! delete all of your thoughts
To free your mind. sixteen!
Close your eyes, expand your soul
Fifteen! fourteen! focus on your senses
When you think of the starlight
It seems that you look at millions of fireflies
Shining over a field at night
Thirteen! twelve! the countdown to infinity
Eleven! ten! nine! your heartbeat starts to grow
Eight! seven! six! five! you are ready for the show
Four! three! two! prepare to leave your world
One!

Fly through the heavens
Where the day
Blends with the night
In the void
Go through the never-ending space
Till the edge of infinity


8. LOUDER TO HEAVEN

Shadows of the night hide me to the light
So that no one can see the tears running on my face
Echoes of the past stay with me tonight
And guide my dream into sweet memory
I grew faster, more cynical but stronger
Enough to be the master
Of the void that follows me day by day...
Day by day...

One day I will climb the highest peak
And furious when I'll reach the top
i will scream through the clouds
I will shout your name louder to heaven
And with a single burning tear
I will fall on my knees
With my eyes turned higher than heaven
I'll shout your name louder to heaven

Thunders in the sky, vassals of the storm
Whose rain will wash my pain away again
I grew faster, more cynical but stronger
Enough to be the master
Of the void that follows me

One day I will climb the highest peak
And furious when I'll reach the top
I will scream through the clouds
I will shout your name louder to heaven
And with a single burning tear
I will fall on my knees
With my eyes turned higher than heaven
I will breathe, I will rise
With my hands held out facing the heaven
I will scream through the clouds
I will shout your name louder to heaven


9. SUNSET RIDER

I see the mighty eagle that flies over my head, guarding me
I feel the power of the bison like an aura all around me
As a coyote I wander in this valley
Made up prairies and my ancestors' bones

I look away into the sunset
Distant horizons, forgotten memories
I am a legend among the shadows
Great spirit himself gave me my Indian name:
Sunset Rider

I see the flight of a hawk
Over the red rocks around me
I feel the fury of the puma flowing in me
Like a warm stream
As a rattlesnake I wander in this desert
Made up red clay and my ancestors' bones


10. WAKE UP AT DUSK

A long time ago I was a crusader knight
Who was fighting in the name of god
But one night I met an unexpected foe
And since then I wake up at dusk

I found you dying in a narrow street
Victim of a robbery gone bad
You took my hand, begging for help
You will think it was unfair
But as a kind of solomon
Immediately, with joy I satisfied your desire
Your blood flows in me
I give you the choice
I would have liked for me
To sleep or live eternally
You could become ash or
You could become damned
Either way it's forevermore
You look at me straight in the eye
And with the most total contempt
You shouted me to finish my vile work
Maybe tired of carrying alone
The wight of loneliness through time
Selfishly, with joy I satisfied your desire
My blood flows in you
I gave you the choice
I would have liked for me
To sleep or live eternally
You will be my mate, it often happens anyway
That someone else sadly decides for you

Welcome to my world where there's no pain at all
Except by daylight and fire
Don't be afraid of me, you will understand
When and if you wake up at dusk


11. ARI'S MELODY

(Instrumental)


12. DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

The time is right, I'm ready for this
For centuries the mother yelled her pain
Purple skies broken by lightnings overlook
Emerald seas and burning acher lands
I lived just waiting for this moment
Now that the last rose is lying dried
I open the shrine of amethyst
And I stroke the magic grimoire
Marked with elemental runes

Arise, sun
And melt the ice so that to infuse
Power to water
Arise, moon
And let the seas cover
With silence the world
Arise, fire
And spread your ashes
Carried by the wind of havoc
Arise, Earth
And let every eye
Become closed forevermore
I'm the last priest of gaia

Petrified forests are trembling
Cold silver mists are on the cities
Where you can hear just industrial echoes
And there are chimneys that everywhere
Release mephitic steams

Disaster recovery plan... complete
