Crimson Wind : The Wings of Salvation
Lyrics
1. INTRO
(Instrumental)
2. ABYSS OF FIRE
Look at the horizon filled with nothing
Look the tears that are going to dissolve
With the glacial wind brought by forsaken souls
You can't find the peace easily as you believed
You can't smile without a good reason
This path just leads you to a false hope
You are fighting and crying
Bleeding and running
You almost can't breathe
Desperate soul, what do you want to do?
Salvation reach you when
You'll stop to crucify yourself
Look at yourself now, jaded by your illusions
You curse and you swear, but it's useless
You'll continue to suffer in the lake of your tears
Look at that abyss of fire
You are fighting and crying
Bleeding and running
You almost can't breathe
Desperate soul, what do you want to do?
Salvation reach you when
You'll stop to crucify yourself
For faults you don't have
You are fighting and crying
Bleeding and running
You almost can't breathe
Desperate soul, what do you want to do?
Look at that abyss of fire
3. ENDLESS DÉJÀ-VU
I see the world around me
Flowing as always
Every action seems like it's worthless
As if I knew it brings to nothing
But I'm stuck in this wheel
With chains made of freedom
I'm living in an endless dejá vu
Being just a witness
Of events spreading from entropy
From the void you left in me
A music played by no one
Like a whisper from the wind
Takes my memory to the moment
When I tried to break the loop
But I'm stuck in this wheel
With chains made of freedom
I'm living in an endless dejá vu
Being just a witness
Of events spreading from entropy
From the void you left in me
4. HOLD YOUR DREAMS
I'm right here
Waiting for another chance
Fighting against all fears
Passion in the heart
New sensations surround me
There are new worlds to discover
Through your shadows
They can see this man
With his doubts and certainties
I've always tried
To be honest with myself
Learning from mistakes
Seeking the truth
Behind every corner
Breaking down walls of lies
Through your shadows
They can see this man
With his victories and defeats
Hold your dreams and live your life
Run away from here and don't stop now
Rekindle hope
Find a way to go on
Take the power from your soul and try
Until your last goodbye
I'm right here
Under the weight of my choices
Leaving the past behind
There's a light in the dark
There's an answer to my questions
This is the time to rise again
Through your shadows
They can see this man
With his illusions and emotions
Hold your dreams and live your life
Run away from here and don't stop now
Rekindle hope
Find a way to go on
Take the power from your soul and try
Until your last goodbye
5. MASK OF HATRED
Hypocritical minds
There is no respect
Here conscience is blind
Thoughts are disconnected
Now we are trapped
In the spider's web
Reality is hidden
By their dirty games
I want to escape from this world
That doesn't reflect me
I'll find the flame of truth
The mask of hatred will fall
Closed minds
Preaching false doctrines
Our discernment is inhibited
Fallen into oblivion
I want to escape from this world
That doesn't reflect me
I'll find the flame of truth
The mask of hatred will fall
6. SLAVE TO YOUR MEMORY
Smoke curtain in these eyes
Your heart so far away
Now I can't see your smile
Your love just killed me
I've lost my time
Reality has stolen my dreams
Where is the happiness?
Maybe inside your soul
There are only broken hopes
There's only pain here
Slave to your memory
I'm still waiting for you
I've lost my time
Reality has stolen my dreams
Where is the happiness?
Maybe inside your soul
Maybe inside your soul
7. RAIN FROM THE UNIVERSE
I see the world through your eyes
Still innocent
And I feel the old pain that comes from
The wounds of time
(The wounds of time)
You often extend the hand for help
Finding indifference
Or maybe you haven't been able to grab it
At the right time
(At the right time)
Who am I? Where am I?
You screamed at the sky
Why am I here? In this constant fear
Nothing is more clear
So hide the tears and heal my ills
Ah, rain from the universe
Erase the sins and put out the fire
Ah, that burns my skin
Rain from the universe
So hide the tears and heal my ills
Now quench my thirst again
Lying on the bed in the moonlight
Breathing slowly
You hear the echoes of the past
Back in your mind
(Back in your mind)
Who am I? Where am I?
I screamed at the sky
Why am I here? In this constant fear
I will disappear
So hide the tears and heal my ills
Ah, rain from the universe
Erase the sins and put out the fire
Ah, that burns my skin
Rain from the universe
So hide the tears and heal my ills
Now quench my thirst again
And still those whispers fill my head
Still those questions haunt my dreams
Still I'm waiting for that rain
But still I'm speaking to myself
8. THE CRIMSON STAINS
Open your eyes and see
Open!
Open my eyes and see
Eyes and see
The root of my memories
Standing
Standing here in front of
In front of
My conscious soul denied
Fire!
Right in the centre of thy hearth
Walking straight
Into forgotten memories
How can you see?
Now, in the mirror of time
Mirror of time
The creation of a love
This all reflexes in me
A blade of fears that draws to death
The crimson stains paint my dress
Your beautiful skin, our sinister fate
This death
Soul dead as a doornail
Feelings gone in emotions stream
Doesn't matter what was
Doesn't matter what will be
The rain can't wash away
Rain!
The rain can't wash away
Wash away
Away the crimson stains
Fire!
Scarred the weak ring of
Weak ring of
The chain of events called life
Rebirth can fill the void
Haunting you from the past
Awakening is the aim
Cause your soul's not faded away
This death
Soul dead as a doornail
Feelings gone in emotions stream
Doesn't matter what was
Doesn't matter what will be
I'm marked by the crimson stains
Can you really see them?
Now it's time to break the chains
I have to wash away the stains
Soul dead as a doornail
Feelings gone in emotions stream
Doesn't matter what was
Doesn't matter what will be
9. AWAKENING
(Instrumental)
10. REBIRTH
You were drowning in apathy
In a cold silence that gave
An unquiet peace
Similar to an apparent death
Then you heard some voices
From past and future
And you know that those
Are nothing more than yours
They are trying
To remind who you were
And who you'd be
But now they will show
The light that leads this life to a new born
The chill of empty days
Is gone forever
Fire of pain now flames the torch of hopes
Inside my soul
Can you feel the absence
Of something that doesn't yet exist?
Sharp as a scythe on the chest
But warm as the most familiar thing
You've ever felt
I'm afraid that
They are going to flee
And leave me again
I will try not to fall
In a catatonic tranquillity
So you fight and struggle
To keep on hearing
Voices that will draw away
The sorrow from your soul
Can you feel the absence
Of something that doesn't yet exist?
Sharp as a scythe on the chest
But warm as the most familiar thing
You've ever felt
11. WINGS OF SALVATION
An inner dance of chanting flashlights
Remove your fears with the flavor of new
Try to reach the aim, silently in the night
Souls like hell won't burn anymore
Hunting the sun, searching for the light
Beyond the stars and the skies
On wings of salvation
Crimson wind in the twilight
Born in a lake of tears
This pain inside my mind is finally dead
Today it's time to live the new dream
Step after step, black after white
Seeking the truth, flying through the night
Beyond the stars and the skies
The wings of salvation
Burn the evil in your heart
Soul cries as the mind dies
But wings of salvation
Will take your love away with me
In a foreseen land of hopes
The beauty of darkness, the burning of abyss
Free from boundaries, free from lies
Proud, new born, marked anymore
Remember the past and learn from it
Hunting the sun, searching for the light
Beyond the stars and the skies
On wings of salvation
Crimson wind in the twilight
Soul cries as the mind dies
But wings of salvation
Will take your love away with me
In a foreseen land of hopes
12. SLAVE TO YOUR MEMORY (PIANO AND VOICE VERSION)
Smoke curtain in these eyes
Your heart so far away
Now I can't see your smile
This love just killed me
I've lost my time
Reality has stolen my dreams
Where is the happiness?
Maybe inside your soul
There are only broken hopes
There's only pain here
Slave to your memory
I'm still waiting for you
I've lost my time
Reality has stolen my dreams
Where is the happiness?
Maybe inside your soul
Maybe inside your soul
13. AWAKENING (GUITAR AND VOICE VERSION)
Awakening
I feel the wind removing me
From the sleep of death
Awakening
Between my hands
The warmth of life
Awakening
Like dawn after a night
Of fear and questions
Awakening
Now my soul is reborn
From the fire of pain
From the fire of pain
Awakening
