Lyrics

1. SILENT REVERIES

The culprit, you act before thinking
Caught in your ignorant sin
And lying to your own reflection
You thought you could hide

Deprived of my own innocence, denied

The infinity of recurring torment
Your comeuppance

See, hear the torture inside
Devouring what was left of my pride
You thought it's not going to happen to you
Thought you could hide

Deprived of my own innocence, denied

The infinity of recurring torment
Your comeuppance
Dwelling in a mind, mixed up and
Your regret has spread over the sea

Deprived of my own innocence, denied

The infinity of recurring torment
Your comeuppance
Dwelling in a mind, mixed up and
Your regret has spread over the sea


2. LINGER

Feel so warm when you are near
You are all I want to feel
Tell me now: is this for real?
It's hard to breathe...

We're all lost in travel time
Cannot find my peace of mind
When the sun will rise again
We'll fly away

Take the stair to the stars
Wander long
Travel far
Someday

A summer breeze makes
All of our winters freeze
Autumn leaves
There's no chance for spring's romance
We linger on but leave the past behind us
Old lovers live it on new
But chances are so few

Windows open up to life
Put your worries all aside
Sacred silence closes doors
For open eyes

Take the stairs to the stars
Wander long
Travel far
Someday
Away

A summer breeze makes
All of our winters freeze
Autumn leaves
There's no chance for spring's romance
We linger on but leave the past behind us
Old lovers live it on new
But chances are so few
And choices are so true


2.CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN ( ORCHESTRAL VERSION )


4.CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN

Built from blind faith
Passed down from self-induced fantasy
Turn a page to justify
(Conjuring power)
Conjuring power, it opens wide
(Your seventh day)
On your seventh day
Is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to percieve
All that you want
(To assume)
To assume from ignorance
(From ignorance)
Inflicting wounds with your cross-turned dagger

Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn

All the traps are set to confine
All who get int he way of the divine
In sight and in mind of the hypocrite
A slave to the curse forever confined

Shatter the myth
Don't cut yourself
On your words against dreams made of steel
(Stronger than any)
Stronger than any faith
(Pain and fear)
That inflicts pain and fear
Is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to percieve
All that you want
(To assume)
To assume from ignorance
(From ignorance)
Inflicting wounds with your cross-turned dagger

Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn
