1. AT THE BACK OF BEYOND

Your rigid eyes stare into gloom
I’m pouring out my grief to you
Should I escape?

Nothing but silence where I stand
Just a slight light at the end to pretend
I could escape

White walls coming closer and closer
Absorb my words without response

I am your guide out of the dark
At the back of beyond
I hear your cries although they’re gone
They’re gone

Strain to scream my heart to you
From my lips no sound escapes
Just light from the moon
A twilit cry

Trying to pick the better side
Stay in darkness, chase the light
Am I wrong, or am I right?

Painful sun is touching your face
A single ray may recall you to life

I am your guide out of the dark
At the back of beyond
I hear your cries although they’re gone

Through the night, out of the dawn
At the back of beyond
I am by your side, but you are still alone

I am your guide out of the dark
At the back of beyond
I hear your cries although they’re gone

Through the night, out of the dawn
At the back of beyond
I am by your side, but you are still alone


2. EVERMORE

Earthborn child take me to places beguiled
You feast my eye on so high-flown
And heavenly styled

In all your splendour
You’re the force, my vein of gold

Stay, make my heart sway and light my way
Flow on the drain of life
Try and you’ll espy the one thereby
A kiss of eternity
Evermore

Stream my mind leaving the daydreams behind
Those pearly waters, a halo
A light for the blind

In all your splendour
You’re the force, my vein of gold

Stay, make my heart sway and light my way
Flow on the drain of life
Try and you’ll espy the one thereby
A kiss of eternity
Evermore

“The one that stays, one that sways
I espy, a moonlit sky”

Stay, make my heart sway and light my way
Flow on the drain of life
Stay, make my heart sway and light my way
Flow on the drain of life
Try and you’ll espy the one thereby
A kiss of eternity
Evermore


3. HOUSE OF HEROES

The man and the ghost will meet again
In the night when it snows
Never quiet, never cold

Hear their calling
Lost lords to cast the ride
White spears in their hands
Pointing towards the sky

The ancient echoes from the wielded jaws
The bones and the scales
The forgotten lore

The calm of the night
Lighting the flame
In the night when they haunt
The curtain shall fall

Heroes and fools
All together, all the same
Statues of the restless
Gallery of the drowned and the pale

The man and the ghost will meet again
On the marshes of the old
Though silent when it snows


4. SERENADE OF SORROW

(Lucifer:)
And the fires burn’d inside my eye’s
As ye fall’s ascending like a moment o’ joy
My thorns where sown in ye light o’ Day
And the winds... they blew...
Until my winds, they blew no more
I scream’d out into the dawn!

(Spirit of Night:)
His thorns were spawned from the grasp o’ God
And the pain... it grew
But holiness grew no more
I scream’d out into the dawn!

Grievance
Fro’ the horizon she comes
I wonder if I could stay in His world
‘Cause sooner or later this pain must end
My life... it cries to be free
But legions of stars
The stars suffer with me!

Grievance:
Pain must end!
His life cries, but soon to be free...
Thou art the star o’ Venus
Oh Seraphim!

(The Holy Spirit:)
Thou must obey thy father, thy God!
Bow down before his eyes
Before his very eye’s!

(Lucifer:)
My God
‘Father’ hear us cry!
Tell me why!
Thou wilt die!!!

(Astaroth:)
Oh, Enslaver of Souls
Thou cannot be our father!
Oh, Avengeful God
Thou hast brought us agony!

(Lucifer:)
Into heav’n our sorrow...
Ye beautiful moment o’ tragedy...
Falling fro’ the lies of His ‘perfect world’
Takest us away, so far away
Here is nothing but pain
Farewell now as we enter our darkness
And we love her, the realization!
Behold our salvation!

Sorrow so beautiful
They are falling, falling!
God is smiling, smiling!
Salvation comes but pain still grows


5. EMPTY ROOM

Empty room
A lonely child left to suffer

Empty room and nightmare wild
Never forgotten

I never meant to do you harm
And if I could reverse our story
I’d never dare

All alone
All alone
I think and I shiver
What could have been was never real
I think and I think and I shiver

Candles lit and tearful eyes
But not dreaming left to suffer

Candles lit and strangled cries
Never forgotten

All alone
All alone
I think and I shiver
What could have been was never real
I think and I think and I shiver

I never meant to ruin it all
And if I could reverse our story
I’d never dare
I’d never dare

I’d never dare
I’d never dare


6. ANOTHER RETURN

It’s new moon time, you’re seeking
Suspect every blurry sight
New fallen snow
It flatters in the misty light

Can you hear them speaking?
Tones from a hidden place
With a licentious play
They reach you in a sensuous way

Do return
You want to remember his face
His everlasting smile
The sight of a dream

Do return
You want to remember his face
His everlasting smile
The sight of a dream

They’re not gods, not human
Reality is not far away, not close
Is there a reason?
Like a laughing silence
It hits you every time you turn around
Is there a reason?...

A unique moment fills you
Sorrow is far away
Such a spiritual sense
This balance undeniable!

The tingling in my body
Makes me wanna fly
Drifting on waves
The only sight is new moon’s light

They’re not gods, not human
Reality is not far away, not close
Is there a reason?
Like a laughing silence
It hits you every time you turn around
Is there a reason?...


7. THY CRYSTALLIC ASCENSION

The tears the heaven cries drop down to the earth
And take with them a spark of life!

While they are falling, they melt into the sea
Where his mortal body lies

Ascend and spread your wings
To find back to the cheerful heart that you belong to
Ascend and you will feel the glory
As now your tears of life pour into the sea

One of this myriad tears brought him back to his life
And a flash went through his limbs

He absorbed the ascending essence of the light
And his bright silhouette arised

Arise, ascend and spread your wings
To find back to the cheerful heart that you belong to
Ascend and you will feel the glory
As now your tears of life pour into the sea


8. I MAKE THE MISTAKE

Now close your eyes...

You’re present in my sleep
You hunt me when I’m awake
My soul you seem to keep
My heart will weep again and again and again

These days in my head make me feel you are the one
These dreams in my head seem real

(In my heart)
You’re in my heart
You’re in my soul
(In my soul)
Want you close
(In my heart)
You’re in my heart

You’re present in my sleep
You hunt me when I’m awake
My soul you seem to keep
My heart will weep again and again and again

These days in my head make me feel you are the one
These dreams in my head seem real

You’re in my heart
(In my heart)
You’re in my soul
Want you close
(In my soul)
You’re in my heart
(In my heart)
You’re in my soul


9. BROKEN WINGS

An unbreakable heart ‘cause it’s already broken
Empty eyes ‘cause my soul got stolen
My skin as ice (My skin as ice)
‘Cause I don’t get touched by warmth
(My skin as ice, my skin as ice)
Day and night both so empty

Broken wings
Broken wings
The wind touches my face
Silent scream
A silent scream in the night

Wanna dance naked in the rain
The drops like fingertips on my body
A forgotten smile but it’s still in me
Where is it kept (Where is it kept) away
Dreams come to me at day
(Where is it kept) Wishes at night
(Where is it kept) Both holding around me

As I...
As I...
As I spread my...

Broken wings
Broken wings
The wind touches my face
Silent scream
A silent scream in the night

Will the time bring back what was in me?
What I missed that got lost
What seemed to be real was just an illusion that got found

Broken wings
Broken wings
The wind touches my face
Silent scream
A silent scream in the night

Take my hand
I’ll lead you out of no man’s land
Please, take my hand
Take my hand...


10. SHOW ME THE WAY

It was a hard way to get here
But now it seems so clear
I’ll find everything inside of me

Mind, body and soul
Life, love and healing
Connect, be connected
Nine words to change your whole life

Oh mother, keeper of eternal truth

You show me the way
You show me that everything I ever need in my whole life
Lies there inside of me

Feeling useless and ashamed
I was the one to blame
Thought there’s nothing good inside of me

Mind, body and soul
Life, love and healing
Connect, be connected
Nine words to change your whole life

Oh mother, seekers find truth in you

You show me the way
You show me that everything I ever need in my whole life
Lies there inside of me

You show me the way
You show me that everything lies there inside of me

You show me the way
You show me that everything I ever need in my whole life
Lies there inside of me


11. INNERLANE

I feel it move two steps behind
Moving fast into the night
Flashing lights keeps passing by
See the pain that’s in their eyes

A screaming child, what have I done?
See the cold has gripped their spines
Turn around I’m not alone
Lost my faith I’m on my way

Thing’s you’ve said
Thing’s you’ve done
When someone else controls your mind
You’ll get worse before the end
You cannot feel, you can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed

Bleeding under cold street lights
People scream, they’re all afraid
Blame myself, is this my fault?
A growing seed of evil deeds

A sickness that has gone to far
Closing in the chase is on
Turning back is not my choice
Lost my faith, I’m on my way

Thing’s you’ve said
Thing’s you’ve done
When someone else controls your mind
You’ll get worse before the end
You cannot feel, you can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed

Can just bleed...
Can just bleed...

Thing’s you’ve said
Thing’s you’ve done
When someone else controls your mind
You’ll get worse before the end
You cannot feel, you can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed
Cannot feel, can just bleed


12. TO LOVE HER ON KNEES

(What I said to her:)
Can’t you see
That we should be
Till nothing’s left to feed
Or can you betray me
Everything’s out and is erased
An error in my breast
Or are you
Oh no, no!

Nothing can be guaranteed
Please, give me a chance to understand
And I would do anything
To wake up your shallow heart again

(What she said to me:)
Sorrowly it doesn’t work
We shouldn’t meet again
And I’m sure it’s better
I should try to forget her
And I should do the same
As she did
Ha, ha, ha!

Nothing can be guaranteed
Please, give me a chance to understand
And I would do anything
To wake up your shallow heart again

Nothing can be guaranteed
Please, give me a chance to understand
And I would do anything
To wake up your shallow heart again
