Lyrics


1. THE DAWN

(Instrumental)


2. DESTROYER

Devoid of air
Serene
Sound doesn't travel in the void

Absence of fear
Buried
Into the abyss, fragilities destroyed

In a blink of an eye
The chaos is restored
In a beat of a heart
The gale returns and wind begins to roar

Strength of a hurricane unleashed
Wrath of the Mother Earth released

Grandeur of the storm
Air moves unbounded with power
Grandeur of the form
How the air transforms
Dead still
Into the destroyer

The sky is growing darker
The clouds begin to swarm
Earth is bracing to reform

The rain begins to pour
As the thunder charges towards
The waves are rising on the shore
As the winds continue to reinforce

Grandeur of the storm
Air moves unbounded with power
Grandeur of the form
How the air transforms
Dead still
Into the destroyer


3. REVERIES

Wide awake
For aeons the dawn awaits
To grant the salvation

Soon the ghosts will return
Shadows of the past that can discern
Every fracture and flaw
Imperfection grown as greatest of them all

Broken castle in the air
Stone by stone
Dreams are gone
And turned to dark
Fell into disrepair
Wall by wall
I've lost it all
Reveries turned to stark

Soon the wraiths begin to turn
From thoughts into destroyers
Point of no return

Broken castle in the air
Stone by stone
Dreams are gone
And turned to dark
Fell into disrepair
Wall by wall
I've lost it all
Reveries turned to stark

At the point of no return
The dreams begin to turn
From thoughts into destroyers


4. DOWNHEARTED

Wings slowly unfolds
Black feathers stir the air
Winds start to grow
Breeze brings the freezing rain
Storm that follows her origin arcane

Sombre words piercing through the dark
Her voice from afar
Downhearted strains of the cradle song
Like a spark from a dying star
Her voice from afar
Crestfallen notes sung with a wretched tone

Shadows hide her face
And no one knows her name
Born from the pain
Powered by the fiercest flame

Wings reaching to the skies
Feet scrape the frozen ground
Angel of death in disguise

Sombre words piercing through the dark
Her voice from afar
Downhearted strains of the cradle song
Like a spark from a dying star (dying star)
Her voice from afar
Crestfallen notes sung with a wretched tone

Sombre words piercing through the dark
Her voice from afar
Downhearted strains of the cradle song
Like a spark from a dying star
Her voice from afar
Crestfallen notes sung with a wretched tone


5. CHAINS

Each footprint marks a loss
Tracks leading away
Misfortune as a companion
Endless trail of my failures

Like a boulder to carry
The burden of defeat
The weight of the past
Like chains on my feet

Display of dejection
Towering despair
Superior regrets
Beyond compare

This bleak illustration
Impression in shades of grey
Like a shutter malfunction
Burning colors away

Black canvas that hides all stains
The dirt of each passing day
Scrapes from your nails
Draw through the layers
Portray the dark

Display of dejection
Towering despair
Superior regrets
Beyond compare


6. DIVIDED

Between two worlds
Grandeur forces divided
Incarcerated
Where two empires collide

Like fire and ice
Inconsistency profound
Magnetic fields conflict
Solemn powers poles apart

Earth in flames
And heaven torn asunder
Heaven torn asunder
Unclouded skies
Encase the wrath
Wrath of a thunder

Darkness and light
Perpetual fight for dominion
War eternal
Rages on since the first light of the dawn
Darkness and light
Riddles written by silence
Deafening scream
From the one without voice to summon the dawn

Legion of one
A multitude of pieces
A puzzle complex and grand
Carved from a single stone

Earth in flames
And heaven torn asunder
Unclouded skies
Encase the wrath
Wrath of a thunder

Darkness and light
Perpetual fight for dominion
War eternal
Rages on since the first light of the dawn
Darkness and light
Riddles written by silence
Deafening scream
From the one without voice to summon the dawn


7. THE DARK

Furthermore ashore
At the edge of the world
In the fringe, on the north
Cold stone beaten by the waters
Worn by the winds

Into the sea
Leads the primordial path
Into the dark
The ancient deep where the light cannot reach

Waiting for the tide
Force to call forth the flood
Waiting at the waterside
The moon to push the ocean forward

The ocean floor
Abyssal plane
Leads to the trench
Deepest chasm of the world

From the dawn of the time
Pressure fathomless and profound
Unviable and hostile
The overwhelming deep where the light cannot reach

Waiting for the tide
Force to call forth the flood
Waiting at the waterside
The moon to push the ocean forward

Waiting for the tide
Force to call forth the flood
Waiting at the waterside
The moon to push the ocean forward


8. CHAOS STAR

A stroke of a sole
Wing that beats the air
A single feather light as ash
Ignites the flare

Dark as coal
Fierce as the darkest flame
A single spark
That sets alight the blaze

Profound silence is erased
By a whisper into the wind
Faint words that escape
Builds into a roar

Butterfly effect in action
Turning ripples into waves
Principle of the chaos
Order of the disarray

Strength of a legion
Power of a horde
Erratic fire
Rising from the core

Profound silence is erased
By a whisper into the wind
Faint words that escape
Builds into a roar

Profound silence is erased
By a whisper into the wind
Faint words that escape
Builds into a roar


9. THE WEIGHT

Days grow darker without fail
Misfortunes and defeats prevail
Bare hours crawl
For what it's worth I am still here

The dawn comes without a promise
A less of a weight to convey today
With a broken oath of absolution
Commitment to grant deliverance

Coldness of the conscious hours
Absence of comfort vacant of warmth
Unbreakable is the silence
For what it's worth I am still here

The dawn comes without a promise
A less of a weight to convey today
With a broken oath of absolution
Commitment to grant deliverance

The dawn comes without a promise
A less of a weight to convey today
With a broken oath of absolution
Commitment to grant deliverance
