Lyrics


1. CROSS THE DIVIDE

Dive into a cosmic sea
Unravel all its mysteries
Navigate our spirits flying higher
As we join the endless choir
We all unite

And now we rise
We fly, and cross the divide

All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide
All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

Time to wander through the mind
Immortal shadows intertwine
Navigate your way through cosmic sea
Our hearts infinity
They will align

Give us the sign to fly
And cross the divide

All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide
All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

Everywhere I look, I see the sadness in their bloodshot eyes
Everytime I feel the horror creeping through our children's minds
I cry

Cross the divide
All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide
All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

Echoes of all stories untold blinded by the night
Cross the divide
Gravity is growing stronger
Bending shape of time in our lives


2. ARCANA

Hear me
I want you to hear me
My cries
See me
As I want you to see me
Alive

Life
It feels eternal when you're close to me
A bird without its wings cannot be free
Your spirit feels a cold embrace that slowly fades
Rise
I see a future bright and crystal clear
Be brave, aim higher and don't disappear
Defy the odds
Into eternity and endlessly

Heal me
I want you to heal me
My heart

And in the dark I see you hiding from the light
Your destiny there writtеn in the stars until the end of timе

Heal me
I want you to heal me
My heart
See me
As I want you to see me
Alive

Breathe (breathe)
And through the pain and tears we truly feel
You'll find a way through chaos and all fear
No soul denies a symmetry that's meant to be
Fly (fly)
Your wings will catch the wind and set you free
Cast off the weight and dreams will reappear
A king and queen
Ride on eternally forever free

Free me
I long to be free

And in the dark I see you hiding from the light
Your destiny there written in the stars until the end of time

Hear me
I want you to hear me
My cries
See me
As I want you to heal me
To be alive

Step in the light, your heart is fighting for your life
We resonate, a dueled fate lives deep within the grand design

See me
I want you to see me
Hear me
As I want you to hear me
Free me (See)
I want you to free me (It's my time to rise from the debris)
Heal me (Break)
As I want you to heal me (All the chains on me)
See me (Breathe)
I want you to see me (And release the toxic energy)
Hear me (Find)
As I want you to hear me (Your serenity)
Be alive


3. DARKNESS DIES IN LIGHT

We are the masters of creation
We are the architects of life (Architects of life)
Forever longing for all hearts to intertwine
You are the space between the lines of life's design

I am the slayer of damnation
I am the sorcerer divine (Sorcerer divine)
I'll harness all our strength to shape our destiny
Fierce as the sea
Wild and free
You arе the chosen one

A Scarlеt night, a force of life
Fill my heart with wonders to believe in
A gift of hope, so pure and bright
Our souls align
As darkness dies in light

We should transcend beyond the heavens
And call on wisdom deep inside (Wisdom deep inside)
We will aim higher when dreams do inspire
Fierce as the sea
Wild and free
You are the chose one

A Scarlet night, a force of life
Fill my heart with wonders to believe in
A gift of hope, so pure and bright
Our souls align
As darkness dies in light

Quod cupias futurum esse
Omnibus viribus
Factum erit in veritate
Crede mi, obdura, certus sum

See
Quod cupias futurum esse
Believe
Manifest the new reality
Factum erit in veritate
Be
The creator that you are meant to be

What we've been searching for
Lies within our very core
It's time to open our hearts

What we've been aiming for
Will transcend the human form
Before the last dawn is gone

Create our dream
Darkness dies in light
Believe
Darkness dies in light
Be free

Rise
Erupt with all your might
Let your spirit ignite

We are creating our destiny
We're finally free
We are two souls beyond eternity
Fierce as the sea
Wild and free
You are the chosen one

A Scarlet night, a force of life
Fill my heart with wonders to believe in
A gift of hope, so pure and bright
Our souls align
As darkness dies in light

A starlit sky, a heart divine
Fill my dreams with wonders to believe in
A gift of hope, so pure and bright
Our stars will shine
All darkness dies tonight

(Erase sadness)
Darkness dies tonight
(Stop the madness)
Darkness dies tonight
(Light up and be free)


4. OBSIDIAN HEART

Fire
I burn with desire
Madness
I'm feeding the sadness
I hear the silence in my head so loud
It fills my heart with doubt
Behind the pain the flame will reappear

Into the madness
Keep feeding the sadness
Into the heart of a hurricane
Beware, or you'll go insane
Fight it

Silence
I have no more sense left
Blackness I'm drowning defenseless
I feel the thunder in my hеart is strong
Hard to keep holding on
The air that once lived in my lungs has gonе

Into the madness
Keep feeding the sadness
Into the heart of a hurricane
Beware, or you'll go insane
Fight
Breathing the fire
Burn deep with desire
No happy end to the fairytale
A mind where the shadows reigned, ruined

Tempta evitare
Obscurari a dolore
Tempta evitare
Obscurari a dolore

Tempta evitare
Obscurari a dolore
Tempta evitare
Obscurari a dolore

Fire
You make me feel higher
Madness
I part with the sadness

Into the madness
I'm done with the sadness
Out of the heart of a hurricane
Beware, or you'll go insane
Fight
Evoke the fire
Burn bright in desire
A happy end to the fairytale
Behold, it lives in the flame
Feel it

Into the madness
Into the madness
Higher


5. FIGHT TO SURVIVE

We set out to explore the moon
And instead discovered the Earth
Takeoff in three, two, one
Go!

Within a heart of joy grow possibilities
To transcend inflicted boundaries
We will have to move beyond
All fears that do pull us down
I try to understand why I can't see it all
While I navigate through outer space
I hope we survive the fall
We'll need to unite them all

Does peace exist in chaos?
Do hearts believe that fate is on our side?
Are we unified?

The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive

I will fight to survive

We must navigate through this complexity
While we search for our stability
We'll have to endure it all
To find that we're powerful
I try to understand, but I can't see it all
While surrounded by this emptiness
I bear all the weight of life
Walking on fragile sheets of ice

Find stillness in the chaos
Our hearts should trust that we can turn the tide
We are unified

The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive

I will fight to survive
Let us turn the tide
We are unified

I am, because we are

Unified

In every moment we will find
Signs of the divine
In every heartbeat lies a story
Shine just as we are
Be just as we are
One on this journey
Our integrity is our great strength

The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
We are alive
Refine the art of our life
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive

I will fight to survive
Let us unify
We are one and alive
Let us turn the tide
We are ready to
Fight


6. METANOIA

Toto velamine remoto
Videmus veritatem
Essentia manebit
Pulcherrima

Search our universe

Delve into the soul's delight
Seek the chosen light
You don't want to live in pain forever
Embrace the true infinity
Rise from density
We all have to persevere together

All that deludes us
Creates illusions

In the odyssey of life
Amidst the innеr strife
We learn how to nurturе our creation
Lost paradise we will retrieve
As it was conceived
If we rise above our mind's damnation

All that's within us
Shapes our existence

Search for the answers in your heart
Where echoes fade, and dreams depart
Strive and pursue in all you do
Together we are one (Together we are one)
Together we are one, our souls aligned
Together we are strong (Forever aligned)
Together we are one, one heart, one mind
Until the end

Search our universe

In the vast celestial sight
Quintessence resides
We'll find grace on cosmic tides together
We can shift the fear aside
With courage as our guide
There's no need to fight the waves forever

Divine conclusions
Transcend illusions

Search for the answers in your heart
Where echoes fade, and dreams depart
Strive and pursue in all you do
Together we are one (Together we are one)
Together we are one, our souls aligned
Together we are strong (Forever aligned)
Together we are one, one heart, one mind
Until the end

Search for the answers in your heart
Where echoes fade, and dreams depart
Strive and pursue in all you do
Together we are one

Toto velamine remoto
Videmus veritatem
Essentia manebit
Pulcherrima

Haunting me
Delusions that can't be
Darkness stretches endlessly
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Choices weigh so heavily
All that's left is pain and sorrow
They won't set me free

Search for the answers in your heart
Where echoes fade, and dreams depart
Strive and pursue in all you do
Together we are one (Together we are one)
Together we are one, our souls aligned
Together we are strong (Forever aligned)
Together we are one, one heart, one mind
Until the end


7. T.I.M.E.

Life's an enigma, it may not have much time to lend
We know when it started but not when it ends
Our requiem, sung by the winds

Scream and shout
Let it all out
Scream out loud
Let it out

Our time has come
For all it's begun
All the bells will chime
When our fate does call
And the curtains fall
All bells will chime, for the final time, time, time, time

Time is a river, that flows fiercely without relent
But without the water it dries up and ends
The fate of us all who ascend

Scream and shout
Let it all out
Scream out loud
Free your doubt
Thundering sound
Scream out loud
Shake the ground

Our time has come
For all it's begun
All the bells will chime
When our fate does call
And the curtains fall
All bells will chime, for the final time, time, time, time

As we die
We'll surrender and yield
Before the circle is closed
Fight for what matters most
It's our time
The moment of truth

Our time has come
For all it's begun
All the bells will chime
When our fate does call
And the curtains fall
All bells will chime, for it is our time, time, time, time


8. APPARITION

Dive into the unknown

A song with a haunting rhyme
Playing beats of a broken heart melody
A moon with a starless sky
Singing the song of spirit that was trapped in time

Open the halls
Our souls are caged in a prison of time
We all are lost in the dark
Seeking solace
A yearning desire
Unleash all our broken hearts
Dive into the unknown

She wanders alone at night
Is searching for any trace of untainted dreams
She'll never give up the fight
And sheds a light on the еchoes of all youthful lies

Open thе halls
Our souls are caged in a prison of time
We all are lost in the dark
Seeking solace
A yearning desire
Unleash all our broken hearts
Dive into the unknown

Inside these halls all alone
A chill in my bones
You can't resist finality
Condemned by tears
Chained

Depicting your pain in blue
A tortured soul far away from what's good and true
A ghost filled with disbelief
In search of peace, feeding on the hearts so full of fears

Open the halls
Our souls are caged in a prison of time
We all are lost in the dark
Seeking solace
A yearning desire
Unleash all our broken hearts
Dive into the unknown

All alone
'Cause we are living in hell
Conflicted to the bone
We will rise


9. EYE OF THE STORM

Face reality, where the truth resides
Forgive your enemies, let compassion guide
The past lies in ruins, from ashes we will rise
Life guided by shadows, awakening
Arise from the ashes, let courage be your guide
Inside our hearts forever
Here I await to ascend
With no end

In the eye of the storm, when you feel like you're drowning
Don't imprison your soul, you will have to remember
In the eye of the storm, it is time for survival
Don't imprison your soul, seek and find peace within
You'll be free

Bend realities, put your pride aside
Embrace humility, let your guilt subside
The root of all darkness lies in a perfect storm
A cry in the silence, echoing
You'll rise from the embers, in stillness you're reborn
Light up the skies together, a flame with a light to transcend
In the end

In the eye of the storm, when you feel like you're drowning
Don't imprison your soul, you will have to remember
In the eye of the storm, it is time for survival
Don't imprison your soul, seek and find peace within
You'll be free

In the eye of the storm, when you feel like you're drowning
Don't imprison your soul, you will have to remember
In the eye of the storm, it is time for survival
Don't imprison your soul, seek and find peace within
You'll be free

In the eye of the storm
Don't abandon your fire
Believe
In the eye of the storm
Don't abandon desire
Believe


10. THE GRAND SAGA OF EXISTENCE

Dive in your soul and see
Where compassion and empathy
Reign and find our unity
Let's revive who we are

Blindingly wandering this karmic cage
We keep hoping for the wisdom of release
Feels like living in a cosmic haze
Never-ending torments are stating to take way

Face it
Your actions and intentions
Confront your past
Welcome the transcendence from life

Life plays out our symphony
And we can play the fortes that matter
A noble endeavor
Livе in cosmic synchrony
Reach for the skies, еmbracing together
Now and forever

Dive in your soul and see
Where compassion and empathy
Shine, define our unity
Let's revive who we are

Endless journeys through the wide unknown
We keep searching for the answers deep within
We are living in the twilight zone
Mysteries and wonders are destined to unfold

Face it
Your rage and apprehensions
Confront yourself
Welcome the transcendence from life

Life plays out our symphony
And we can play the fortes that matter
A noble endeavor
Live in a cosmic synchrony
Reach for the skies, embracing together
Now and forever

Now and forever stay strong
Heaven's within you, inside rings a song so true

Reborn
Here destined alive
Born
On life's endless tide
Born
To put all things right
Towards a future where love does preside

Write your own demise
Your mind is a pitfall in disguise
The goddess of desire has been freed
The goddess of desire will be seen
Wild as wild can be
The goddess of desire lives in me

Break free from the lies
Your heart is the door to paradise

You can choose to feed the fear
Which makes you only more of what you don't want to be

Life plays out our symphony
And we can play the fortes that matter
A noble endeavor
Live in a cosmic synchrony
Reach for the skies, embracing together
Now and forever
Life plays out anomalies
So we can be as solid as matter
Yet light as a feather
Time the endless fantasy
Aim for the skies we all have to treasure
Our sacred endeavor

Now and forever stay strong
Heaven's within you, inside rings a song so true for you


11. ASPIRAL

Seeds we sow will need
All of our love to grow
To reach new heights
And guide below

We are reaching for the light
Shed the darkness of our fight
And now we're waiting for tomorrow's sun

Scars and tears set free
To fly in the atmosphere
Will clear the way
And guide us all

We are digging through the dirt
Mending hearts and heal the hurt
Keep hope alive and watch the tables turn

"Take a lesson. If you're inquisitive, if you're always eager to know, you become an interesting person. There's nobody as powerful in the whole universe as human beings. We make ourselves what we are. Sit and do what you like to do. Start playing piano with your two fingers, and you play marbles. Only you can create yourself. Don't believe in anybody else but yourself. Sit down and make yourself. The deflects are new."

We are free of all the weight
Hold your hearts renewed with faith again
Find a way to see a new day
Our souls are free now

We are free of all the weight
Hold your hearts renewed with faith again
Find a way to see a new day
Our souls are free

To shine and move around
That gives us arms to hope
To be at peace
See meadows grow
