1. SCYTHIAN AURORA

Tear down the walls and drown it all - in the stillness of my nights
I grew forests of molten gold; you turned my brothers to diamonds
Now I beg you to turn away as the stars lead me astray
Will you save one last breath for me?

We’ll light the sky
Turn your shores to glass
We'll be born again

Swim the ocean of your lies
Burning heart, burning eyes
Mother won't you feed the blight

Wrap the chains around my veins
And leave me now to waste away

What have I?
If not the fiction of sleep...

Tear down the walls and drown it all - in the stillness of my nights
I grew forests of molten gold; you turned my brothers to diamonds

Wrap the chains around my veins
And lead me now to waste away

A time will come
When night forgets of goodbyes
With its peace and a smile,
Death will swiftly rearrange all our plans
(Death will rearrange all our plans).

Give me your blood, give me your berth
Give me earth and the endlessness of your births.
Give me your blood.
Give me your earth
And the endlessness of your births.


2. OCEAN BED

Our wounds are old
And spring will never come
This I know
Many times have I been told...
And at night, sea takes no prisoners
Is one more thing I remember when you are gone
When you are gone, when you are gone and past the flood

Had we been born on another time perhaps
We could have stayed
Amidst the shattered filigree
Of the shattered ruins
Of our time

When words have lost their voices
Washed out by the tide
If your memory still serves you well
Look for me...

In sleep's silent throes
I begin to convulse

Until I forget
The face of the skies
The message of the wind

When I see again
You will join me
Down!

And one more thing I remember (x3)
When you're gone
Trapped in this forest
I'm held by the grasp
Of a thousand broken arms

Had we been born on another time perhaps
We could have stayed (x2)

If your heart still holds the faintest glimmer
Look for me (x4)
In the ocean bed
Look for me ...(x2)


3. BROKEN TEETH

I walked the barren streets with a broken heart
Until I found a refuge from all the death
Moss eventually covered the gilded walls with its soft embrace
And nature again consumed what we once built.
The silhouettes of kings and men drowning in the fever

I ain't got nothing left but broken teeth
And a regretful praise for thieves
I've been dragging my feet for way too long
And I fear we won't see one more dawn

Flags are burning north, south, east and west
Blood is running down the mountain crest
Watch the vultures now scurry to feed
On the corpse of a nation god forgot

Broken teeth (x3)

I'm left only with the echoes
And the dreams of flowerbeds
The splendor of treason is bruised all over their fangs

Let the knife do its work, flooding the room with its silence (x2)
There's a devil at home

I ain't got nothing left but broken teeth
And a regretful praise for thieves
I've been dragging my feet for way too long
And I fear we won't see one more dawn

I'm left only with the echoes
And the dreams of flowerbeds
The splendor of treason is bruised all over their fangs

Engraved in my throat
The threat that you owe
Will follow you home
It's a promise

I'll remember the sun in a slumber of the senses
Hands blackened and scorched, praying for rain to come.


4. IN GOLD & BLOOD PT.1 (MASKS OF RED DAWN & LEAD)

Among the dead
Of arterial bloom and jade
Where the warmth has left the sun
Where our fathers could not walk
In gold and blood the debt was settled

And of the pain that lingers, only the vines will remember

Ripped out of my lungs
An instant of falling down the stream
Trickling down my fingers
The scent of brighter days

Am I everything that we needed to convey to the eyes of god?

Ripped out of my lungs
An instant of falling down the stream
I'm breaking
Breaking down

Release the fire
Burst your lungs
Learn to kindle with misery
Embrace your passion and it shall set you free

Whence moonlight once carved out my existence
I will be born; blood from the rocks
Will you deny my atonement?
Will you deny my role in this earth is to destroy all your kin?


5. IN GOLD & BLOOD PT. 2 (DELUGE)

Look at me straight in the eye
And tell me that night will subside...

Sever the stars from their nests
Lodged in the chest, their vision again
Like the memory of light
Won't you shed some ash on me?

Will you be ready (too)?
When the night swallows us two...
Would you go where the night is waiting for you?
(Will you be...)
