2. MORNINGSTAR

Brace for the score
You’ve taken refuge in the hearts of many
Afraid to give in
To the one with the key to your soul

Beyond the shadows, beneath the soul
Lies the tattered bond in which we were once intertwined
A secret passage, beneath the masses
Of ruins tainted by the vengeance of a severed tie

But I can feel you
Would you ever pray to me?

I’ll take you to the reaches of your fate
To decide the curse of a love to state
There’s a heart that beats within us all
And it’s failed you

When there’s nothing left for her
The heavens will fall to earth
A veil of chilling cold, to shield the story told
Is further to the truth than any other lies of old

Without a path to seek, her hope is growing weak
She’s never been this close to hiding under cloth and sheet

But I can feel you
Would you ever pray to me?

I’ll take you to the reaches of your fate
To decide the curse of a love to state
There’s a heart that beats within us all
And it’s failed you
We set upon a crystal reign in fall
To define what it means to leave the shores
Of a once loved place we called our own
And I failed you

I’ll take you to the reaches of your fate
To find the curse of a love to state

I’ll take you to the reaches of your fate
To decide the curse of a love to state
There’s a heart that beats within us all
And it’s failed you
We set upon a crystal reign in fall
To define what it means to leave the shores
Of a once loved place we called our own
And I failed you

I’ll take you to the reaches of your fate
To decide the curse of a love to state
There’s a heart that beats within us all
And it’s failed you
We set upon a crystal reign in fall
To define what it means to leave the shores
Of a once loved place we called our own
And I failed you


3. CARPE NOCTEM

Seasoned darkness silhouettes our boundary
Dying light is all that’s left of you
All that’s left is sorrow, as tragedy takes flight
I’ll uphold his vision in the taking of the night

Tonight
As dusk relieves the day
You’ll find you’re all that’s left in what appears eternal rest

In time perceived
A loss consoled in grief
Graceful by the fall of one whose vision burns to see

Free darkness, forsaken soul

Fell to darkness, out of the light
A storm in the wind of a cold winter’s night
Deathly silence beckons the dawn
In fleeting hours, the daylight will mourn

Shadows weep
For those who’ve lost their sleep
Divine by right of way in guidance calling love to leave

Free darkness, forsaken soul
Fell to darkness, out of the light
A storm in the wind of a cold winter’s night
Deathly silence beckons the dawn
In fleeting hours, the daylight will mourn

Across the astral plane
Lies nothing more to gain

Carpe Noctem

Fell to darkness, out of the light
A storm in the wind of a cold winter’s night
Deathly silence beckons the dawn
In fleeting hours, the daylight will mourn

Fell to darkness, out of the light
A storm in the wind of a cold winter’s night
Deathly silence beckons the dawn
I see you falling


4. EN RAPTURE

A wild whisper to the wind
Minute hand on the hour
A count of three
From the church bell tower

When silence bears its stride
Absent day in the black of night
A fear instilled inside
Those who search for warmth in light

Yet through it all
We stand so tall

A smile twisted in vain
That set insight might see to strain
A thick array of false reign
To plague and tune the mind in shade

The winter frost burns bright
A blazing crimson fire
To signify the end
As the flames leap higher

When shadows split the sky
And all that’s left is a fleeting cry
A fear instilled inside
Those who know that the end is nigh

Yet through it all
We stand so tall

A smile twisted in vain
That set insight might see to strain
A thick array of false reign
To plague and tune the mind in shade

Take all that you lead in sake of rite
Take your chance and ride into the night

Beyond the shadows, beneath the soul

We are
We are
The fallen remains of a dying star
We take
We take
The life longing for a beating heart

A smile twisted in vain
That set insight might see to strain
A thick array of false reign
To plague and tune the mind in shade
Take all that you lead in sake of rite
Take your chance and ride into the night


5. RELINQUISHED

Have I lost the will to carry on?
My voice devoid of sound
To feel the touch of the great beyond
Relieve the call I’m bound

Enter to me
Free your mind of thought
Feel the weight lift
From the shadows, onward I go

Won’t you breathe life into these heavy hands?
Won’t you take me into your arms again?
As I will be
Always waiting

So the journey less travelled on
Becomes the journey I must take
To leave the ones I learnt to love behind
Becomes my sacrifice to make

Won’t you breathe life into these heavy hands?
Won’t you take me into your arms again?
As I will be
Always waiting

Enter to me
Free your mind of thought
Feel the weight lift
From the shadows, onward I go

Won’t you breathe life into these heavy hands?
Won’t you take me into your arms again?
As I will be
Always waiting

Won’t you breathe life into these heavy hands?
Won’t you take me into your arms again?
As I will be
Always waiting


6. TO LEAD THE BLIND

Perched upon the riverbed
Tears upon her lash
A song yet unheard
Clings to her tongue, amidst salt and ash

She reaches towards her shoulder
Fleeting moments pass
Though time wavers
This feeling holds her within its grasp

Taking its toll on her reason
Leading the blind to see

You cave under the centre of a limitless divide
And you pray for the unspoken, as you wade amongst the tide
Now carefree in your loneliness, without treason toward your doubt
Distant in your memories, lost forever now

Sadness is not her stranger
Kindness, not her friend
But time seems to know
Which of these will prevail in the end

How can this pain exist?
She wonders to herself
If only she had
The strength she would need to fight and resist

Taking its toll on her reason
Leading the blind to see

You cave under the centre of a limitless divide
And you pray for the unspoken, as you wade amongst the tide
Now carefree in your loneliness, without treason toward your doubt
Distant in your memories, lost forever now

Suffocate the fear that holds you
And fight for this
Breathe beneath the waters that wash
over you and you’ll see
Flight in your destiny’s hold

Taking its toll on her reason
Leading the blind to see

You cave under the centre of a limitless divide
And you pray for the unspoken, as you wade amongst the tide
Now carefree in your loneliness, without treason toward your doubt
Distant in your memories, lost forever now
Lost forever now
Lost forever now


7. CELESTIA

I can take you away from here
Do not fear, my dear
I can show you the way of love
Free from the hatred of those above

Walk through shades of grey now, over the barren hill
Where you’ll find a place to rest in a field of ivory
Take not this for granted, tis the only path you seek
For there’s nothing for you to want when I am all you need

Nothing to cure
I am your disease
Cascade upon an autumn breeze
Fear not the whisper of the rising shade
Tis nothing but a ghost in the winter rain

Walk through shades of grey now, over the barren hill
Where you’ll find a place to rest in a field of ivory
Take not this for granted, tis the only path you seek
For there’s nothing for you to want when I am all you need

Walk through shades of grey now, over the barren hill
Where you’ll find a place to rest in a field of ivory
Take not this for granted, tis the only path you seek
For there’s nothing for you to want when I am all you need


8. SOLARIS

I never felt that time was on my side
But a shadow on the wind
Seduced by death in love’s disguise
And a beggar’s guide to sin

Where are the lights
Holy and bright?
Why does the joker show his tears?
Tattered fragments from the sky embrace in a whirlwind

Winter has come
Black out the sun
No need to feel so lost, my dear
I’ll show you the way
Through hope and dismay
Let me lead you right where you belong

A fallen star to wield a dynasty
Like a candle burnt anew
They say there’s strength in what you seek
But I’m yet to see that proved

Where have you gone?
It’s been far too long
Why did you leave me stranded here?
A darkness lost is no small cost when you deal in light of fear

Winter has come
Black out the sun
No need to feel so lost, my dear
I’ll show you the way
Through hope and dismay
Let me lead you right where you belong

Winter has come
Black out the sun
No need to feel so lost, my dear
I’ll show you the way
Through hope and dismay
Let me lead you right where you belong

Winter has come
Black out the sun
No need to feel so lost, my dear
I’ll show you the way
Through hope and dismay
Let me lead you right where you belong
Right where you belong
Let me lead you right where you belong

Winter has come
Black out the sun
No need to feel so lost, my dear
I’ll show you the way
Through hope and dismay
Let me lead you right where you belong

Winter has come
Black out the sun
No need to feel so lost, my dear
I’ll show you the way
Through hope and dismay
Let me lead you right where you belong


9. STARFALL

A kiss to grace the love we held so dear tonight
We twist to turn in lust and burn with fire in our eyes
Like daggers to the stone, you turn this heart to wine
And in the night we lose ourselves to life

We fell to the night
In darkness we were lost to the storming winds of a fantasy
An answer divine, fell from the stars in that howling roar

We danced from dusk ‘til dawn, in the shadow of the stage
An endless hope clung to your velvet smile
Like daggers through the wine, you turn this heart to stone
When I feel I need to be alone

We fell to the night
In darkness we were lost to the storming winds of a fantasy
An answer divine
Fell from the stars in that howling roar

A call to divide
The scar in which we long for a loving touch to heal in harmony’s fall
Where we long for deaths embrace

Take another step
Take another
I see through you
It’s the only way to save me from that fall

I’ve taken out the steps before me
I’ve fallen, you can’t save me
Despite the light of day

We fell to the night
In darkness we were lost to the storming winds of a fantasy
An answer divine
Fell from the stars in that howling roar

A call to divide
The scar in which we long for a loving touch to heal in harmony’s fall
Where we long for deaths embrace
Where we long for death’s embrace
Where we long for death’s embrace


10. VEIL OF SANCTITUDE

I have a world within myself
Sanctioned and alone
Mirrored from the inside
Reflecting all I know

But there’s secrets within secrets
I can’t draw one from my own
Laid upon lifeless
Like speaking into stone

I won’t spare another day
Imprisoned in this life
Fighting to survive
I won’t be left to lead astray
Those who choose to run
Towards a better fate

They say readers talk in pictures
But I’ve painted far too long
Calloused and abandoned
Lost for words unknown

Tailored to obsession
A fault unto my own
Too far into my absence
With which I’ve welcomed home

I won’t spare another day
Imprisoned in this life
Fighting to survive
I won’t be left to lead astray
Those who choose to run
Towards a better fate

Reach out, they say
That all that’s in my way is myself and I
I have lost my way
When there’s no reason to stay
I’ll leave this place
I’ll rest this way

I left my love in silence
Like a whisper to the wind
Free upon a breeze

No longer afraid
To soar before the sun
The warmth upon my wings

I won’t spare another day
Imprisoned in this life
Fighting to survive
I won’t be left to lead astray
Those who choose to run
Towards a better fate

I won’t spare another day
Imprisoned in this life
Fighting to survive
I won’t be left to lead astray
Those who choose to run
Towards a better fate


11. HALO

Designed by what lies beyond the other side
Hoping for a chance to cross the void into life gain
Break the cycle that spins to entwine
Divide and come to the circle of light

Come to the circle of light

We were lost to the wheel of time
But I can feel you
If we could only just rewind
I could save you

Reclaim where you were before you fell away
Defeat no longer applies when you’re lost in the fray

Come to the circle of light

We were lost to the wheel of time
But I can feel you
If we could only just rewind
I could save you

We were lost to the wheel of time
But I can feel you
If we could only just rewind
I could save you

We were lost to the wheel of time
But I can feel you
If we could only just rewind
I could save you


12. ETERNITY

Pray to breathe
Behold what’s left to see
Once a golden titan
Now lost in reverie

They call me the prince of the rapture
With a heart of ice and stone
If only they could fathom
What lay behind my throne

I’ve captured minds in wonder
With a tongue of silvered wit
Yet now I grow so weary
Fraught in doubt and counterfeit

Time slips away
When you’re a slave to its charm
It holds you when it needs to
Yet lays waste when in charge

Take me away
Take me far from here

And yet I long for Death’s embrace
Her comfort
Her grace
No longer shall I bear the pain
Release me from my eternal reign

Reflecting on my past
I count where I went wrong
To trust in where I was before
To fit where I belong

Too far beyond redemption
In chains of faith and glass
I lost all that I had loved

And yet I long for Death’s embrace
Her comfort
Her grace
No longer shall I bear the pain
Release me from my eternal reign

Release me
Release me
Release me
Now left to find my way
Left to find my way
Release me from my eternal reign

Cold and calloused
It leads me to rage on, cursed and estranged
Bread into silence
Tied to enslave all cast through these flames

Over and over
Chained to behave
Tailored to nothing

Forced to revisit the pain of my past
It rages on
Forced to recover
A slave to this other
It rages on

How long I’ve lived in protest
Like a moth unto the flame
How long I’ve served in protest
A blight unto his name

Course and careless
Exiled to rule over all that is vile
Seething for being a titan of gold
With pride to his name

Forced to revisit the pain of my past
It rages on
Forced to recover
A slave to this other
It rages on

For all the tears I shed
My call to paradise
Fell on deafened ears
Denied a second chance
Refused one final glance
Of where I hung my wings

Sentenced to live on
In a shrine of molten stone
Destined for defeat
I fell from warring skies
Into the dark of night
Never seen again

Cast from up above
Terrified and bare
Bound to eternity
With no end in sight
Scathed beyond repair
Can you set me free?

They call me the prince of the rapture
With a heart of ice and stone
If only they could fathom
What lay behind my throne

I’ve captured minds in wonder
With a tongue of silvered wit
Yet now I grow so weary
Fraught in doubt and counterfeit

And yet I long for Death’s embrace
Her comfort
Her grace
No longer shall I bear the pain
Release me from my eternal reign

Release me
Release me
Release me
Now left to find my way
Left to find my way
Release me from my eternal reign

For all the tears I shed
My call to paradise
Fell on deafened ears
I fell from warring skies
Into the dark of night
Never seen again
