1. WINDBORN

While the world sleeps, and it's long 'till the sun
We hoist our sales - our voyage has begun
Nothing can stop us unless we are dead
The greatest mystery lies ahead

Lies ahead

Born of the wind
We're forever free
We can choose our fate
Our reality
Children of storms
Our name rides before us
We come to denounce
The dogmas of old

After they said there was no more to learn
We have decided that their books should burn
No one commands where our minds are to go
The greatest liberty is to know

Is to know

Born of the wind
We're forever free
We can choose our fate
Our reality
Children of storms
Our name rides before us
We come to denounce
The dogmas of old

Born of the wind
We're forever free
We can choose our fate
Our reality
Children of storms
Our name rides before us
We come to denounce
The dogmas of old


2. LEGEND OF THE FREE

Once there was a small bird
Unaware that it could fly
And it never asked itself
No questions such as "Why?"

But one night it woke up
And decided to be Free
Out the door it flew to places
You will never see

Hence, the Legend begins...

Forever Free
As Wind in the Sea!
The bird's new world
Is more than any fantasy

Beyond the bars
Of its own little world
A million possibilities
Unfold...

Many years gone by, but some say
They have seen the bird
Others say the Legend's simply
Nothing and absurd

But from time to time
You can hear flappings from the high
As another bird discovers
Freedom in the sky

Hence, the Legend goes on...

Forever Free
As Wind in the Sea!
The bird's new world
Is more than any fantasy

Beyond the bars
Of its own little world
A million possibilities
Unfold...


3. THE WAY IS THE AIM

Once you are ready to follow your Way
Leave all attachments behind:
Whatever we lack at the end of the day
Is what lacks in our Minds.

Sail all through the night
The wind is blowing,
Nothing in the world is stopping:
We are free!
Take any Way you wish - there are no roads
In the Sea!

When the Wind fills your Sail
Providence is behind you!
No way to fail:
You're the light in the darkness!

In the Ocean of Time
Find your own Direction,
Follow the Signs,
In the end - the Way is the Aim.

Once you have found a Path of your own,
All things are helping you out.
Something is wrong? Check where you are -
It's a wrong place no doubt...

With the help of Destiny,
Walls go down.
But go against the tide -
And lose your crown.
There's nothing in the world that keeps you from
Your Way!

When the Wind fills your Sail
Providence is behind you!
No way to fail:
You're the light in the darkness!

In the Ocean of Time
Find your own Direction,
Follow the Signs,
In the end - the Way is the Aim!


4. SHACKLES OF GOLD

[Verse 1]
When we finally could see
There was nothing around us
We were floating in the stars
Our own thoughts around
All that we had been taught to this day
Suddenly disintegrated

[Pre-Chorus]
Our minds freed from lies
No right and no wrong

[Chorus]
Full speed ahead
And have no dread
Treasure is always beyond
Go to the edge of the known (full speed ahead)
And have no dread
Treasure is always beyond
Go to the edge of the known

[Verse 2]
There was nothing they could learn
Without looking backwards
They assigned themselves to truth
Now they are jury and judge
We are the teachers who taught them before
They should be listening humbly

[Pre-Chorus]
But in their sanctity
They are now deaf and blind

[Chorus]
Full speed ahead
And have no dread
Treasure is always beyond
Go to the edge of the known (full speed ahead)
And have no dread
Treasure is always beyond
Go to the edge of the known


5. THE WHEEL

Thousands of bodies lie dead in the sand
Whom they belonged to, slain by whose hand?
Half-rotten faces with holes instead eyes
Is my mind telling me lies?

The Wheel is rolling on and on
This is a path of no return
A chain of births and deaths unites
Centuries -

A crowd of spirits that were slain
Are now deep inside your brain
All that you have considered you
Is not true!

Hundreds of times killed again and again
Living all shades between pleasure and pain
Men, women, children - all gone and dead,
Now safely locked in my head...

The Wheel is rolling on and on
This is a path of no return
A chain of births and deaths unites
Centuries -

A crowd of spirits that were slain
Are now deep inside your brain
All that you have considered you
Is not true!

Rise, the ones who have fallen,
Speak what you have to say,
Share with me your knowledge
And become myself!

The Wheel is rolling on and on
This is a path of no return
A chain of births and deaths unites
Centuries -

A crowd of spirits that were slain
Are now deep inside your brain
All that you have considered you
Is not true!


6. TO THE EDGE OF THE KNOWN

[Verse 1]
I have roamed all seven seas
And seen most people on their knees
Spending their lives on what's told
And now what's told is backed by gold
If you don't care what others say
If you are sick of chasing praise
If you desire a whole new world
My friend - behold

[Chorus]
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've nеver imagined beforе

[Verse 2]
A fly stuck in a spider's net
A racing rat drowning in sweat
Your final hour's coming near
But still the prison seems so dear
Your final words full of regret
But wait, we are not there yet
You still have time to change it now
I'll show you how

[Chorus]
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've never imagined before

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've never imagined before


7. DISTANT SHORES

[Verse 1]
Far away we have to go with no choices of returning
Its the only way to grow, life is about learning
You can infinitely dwell in one place, but soon or later
You will feel the drawing pull of something far greater

[Pre-Chorus]
When the light shines on the way
Nothing remains the same
All the colors now turn to grey
All except the flame
Of your aim

[Chorus]
Far, far ahead
Over spaces unknown
Our journey lies
To our would-be home
Cut from the world
By invisible doors
All alone we sail
To the distant shores

[Verse 2]
Finally the mist is gone, distant silhouettes are forming
We have sailed into the dawn, and the sun is warming
What is there that lies ahead? What is it we have been craving?
In the name of what we bled? What have we been chasing?

[Pre-Chorus]
In the rays of a new sun
I see a thousand pathways
Our journey has just begun
Beacon ahead will blaze
Forever

[Chorus]
Far, far ahead
Over spaces unknown
Our journey lies
To our would-be home
Cut from the world
By invisible doors
All alone we sail
To the distant shores

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Far, far ahead
Over spaces unknown
Our journey lies
To our would-be home
Cut from the world
By invisible doors
All alone we sail
To the distant shores


8. CALL OF THE TOWERS

[Intro]
Time is flowing - nothing's the same
Towers calling - you cannot stay
Way ahead - only mystery
Nothing left to miss now
Far Far away

At the end
Of the day
Waits for you
Consecration
Conjuration
Your internal transformation
Transmutation, time

[Verse 1]
I have followed many roads
Over many days
Through all distant lands afar
Traveled by all ways
In the gleam of morning stars
I have always been
Through the ages standing tall
I will always remember your faces

[Refrain]
Time is a dream
See the night
Feel the stars caressing your senses
Time to remember
To forget, to forgive
To let go, to surrender
You have heard it all
You cannot stall
You die the moment you stop learning
Around the Earth
Those like you hear
The towers calling

[Verse 2]
Once again the journey begins
Another thousand years
I remember the feelings long gone
Endless laughs and tears
Then, as if having heard my plea
One thousand voices are calling me
Fire, tides, virtue or sin
I feel the call within

[Chorus]
Rise and kindle your light
Clean as morning dew
Guiding star is so bright
It's there for you
I shall never kneel
To those who seek demise
Cannot take a height
Without a fight

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When in a moment of sorrow and fear
I thought my guiding star was so near
But instead I hit against walls
And there was no one to hear my calls
Tired and battered I locked in a shell
How could this be ending well?
I was going to fall
Stopped by a silent call
I was going to fall
Stopped by a silent call

[Chorus]
Rise and kindle your light
Clean as morning dew
Guiding star is so bright
It's there for you
I shall never kneel
To those who seek demise
Cannot take a height
Without a fight

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
World is moving forward
Leaving most people behind
But I found my road
I am no longer blind
In the light of the Moon
I can clearly see my way
No seducing tune
Can lead me astray

[Chorus]
Rise and kindle your light
Clean as morning dew
Guiding star is so bright
It's there for you
I shall never kneel
To those who seek demise
Cannot take a height
Without a fight

[Bridge]
Time is flowing - nothing's the same
Towers calling - you cannot stay
Way ahead - only mystery
Nothing left to miss now
Harmony has led me ahead
I have brought my light through the darkness
The horizon lies before my feet
The line's crossed now
You have heard it all
You cannot stall
You die the moment you stop learning
Around the Earth
Those like you hear
The towers calling

[Verse 5]
I have always dreamt to peek
Once beyond the veil
But I never could have thought
How far we would sail
In the light of my own star
Mysteries unfold
I begin to understand
How mold turns to gold

[Verse 6]
Through whatever dark
You are going through
I am always here
I'll be there for you
I'm your guiding light
I'm your only hope
Your hidden might
The eternal call
Of the towers

[Pre-Chorus]
Now
And ever
Rise
Forever
The call
Was answered
All that I have now
Will stay with me

[Chorus]
Rise and kindle your light
Clean as morning dew
Guiding star is so bright
It's there for you
I shall never kneel
To those who seek demise
Cannot take a height
Without a fight
Rise and kindle your light
Clean as morning dew
Guiding star is so bright
It's there for you
I shall never kneel
To those who seek demise
Cannot take a height
Without a fight
