Moray Firth (intro)

Dusk Trial

So now we're on a night
Where the dead and the living walk side by side
You are here but you died
I remember the way you've been plunged into the dark
Swallowed heart, by the throat of my lies
You cannot be back !
And through the haze your hand arrives
I can see you behind the border line

I feel my life again
So my escape has been vain
‘Cos now I sense the pain again
Lost in my insane, vain,
Runaway from myself
Now my pride and my life I must regained

The time now is out
Memories have rejoined consequences in the outposts
The armies of the fallen kings
Are gathering and crossing deserts for me
The oasis was fake, the mirage is vanishing
And inside it there is me

I feel my life again
So my escape has been vain
‘Cos now I have dreams again
The frames they make and the shapes they take
Are unshaken mirrors of my regrets

The shrieking winds came
And crossed me
The desert sands sang
They bled me
Voices of the dead
Being living again
Chanting an impendig change

I feel my life again
As my flesh's torn off by the fangs
Of the truth growing as I understand
The frames it takes and the shapes it makes
Are throwing that fear back into my face

It feels like a storm is collapsing the walls of my life
Taking hopes and dreams down
Tearing the shields I've built around me down

Something I am afraid deeply afraid of is coming
The price of some choices I made is high.

Fair enough
I deserve it for sure.

A storm is coming.
It'll take a lot from me.
But I won't leave anything good and beautiful to it
Whatever the cost is
I won't leave anything worth saving to it.

I chose.
Don't think it'll be easy.
Not even sure I'll survive.
Whatever.
I chose.
I can't forget. Can't hide away from what I did and have been.

My Trial's begun.

A Jester's Pledge

Today is a dying day

My life is now stirring
Inside me you are trying
To rule over
To victimize
To take my life away
I hear the cries of the child that I was...
But I'll soon know your name

I've been too kind with you before
But now I'm not like this any more

You seem afraid to die
Old friend, old creature ?
But it's not about dying...
It's about the place that's yours
The place and role that are yours

You pay the way you've spilled my blood every day

You tried me
Today
Do you think you'll ever
Laugh at me again ?

You face up those years spent in darkness
And see the reigns : they have changed hands
As I lead you in my jester's dance
I have my deserved rest

‘Cause I know your real name
Now !
Time is mine
Is it a jester's pledge ?

Now what more can you say ?

The Storm Room

It spoils everything it can take of your heart
But bathe it with light you'll rise
I'll show you why no one takes your life away from yourself
This hope that you bred, and this love that you fed
Are unshakable for those fears
This is the way we'll get rid of this pollution
Its own madness it'll meet into this ignition
The Way of the Fire is welcoming us
Do not fear that Fire... It's for you

Can you feel it in the air?
Here into the Heart's lair
Time for reconsidering things
You're here for a change
So I have come To you as your best friend

Stay! You have not seen everything yet !
You pray? But you don't need that kind of help !
I'll show you the whole truth about yourself
Yes, I love you that way !

You came here to the Storm Room thinking you would be safe
But here there's still something you got to face

That Gallery of Freaks
Is what you built all those lies on
The Chief of their Dance Is a deceiver

So now you need to be quiet and to release your own life
And if you want to cleanse this place you flood it all with some light

It spoils everything it can take from your heart
But bathe it with light and you'll rise
It wanted you to fear its eyes
It was lurking here in the dark
It wanted you to believe its lies
But it can't be if you step into light so... (bis)
It wanted you to believe its lies
That's why it looked you with those eyes
It wanted you to be afraid
Of its very own lie !

It's your time now you're alone in the Storm Room

Of Vampires And Men

Far from the regards and dignity
Witnesses of the falling in this divided world
So many they can be, they just can't say a word
Victims of the promises of those greedy eyes
Guilty since their birth of being unlucky
Their lives are being drunk by some sated monsters
They just cannot weigh ‘cos of the broken stand
That vampires, built with their own blood for them

You are not responsible of all this pain and fear and greed
But you could be responsible of your own apathy

These are the white books of bleeding peoples
Their signatures are written in blood
And from their scars life is flowing
To vampires throats that are always thirsty

Vampire comes from Man
Alteration of a kind
Slaughterer
Vampire grew from us
Alteration of our kind
Slaughterer... Slaughterer!
Our fathers would turn in their graves
The monster grew from Man
Penetrating the Mind
Now Brother, look at what we let happen

These are the white books of bleeding peoples
Their signatures are written in blood
And from their scars life is flowing
To vampires throats... always thirsty

You are not responsible of all this pain and fear and greed
But you could be responsible of your own apathy

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing".

Think Twice

Now Time and Space, Life And Death, are converging
The Spark inside has to be released
The past has gone forever.
In this instant lies a choice.
Because Life and Death are converging.

Think twice. Then choose.
Then breathe.

Vanished

Cruelly … you gripped me
I realized when I thought about how much
You were envying me
To get free
I must have known
How to step out of your fog then run through it howl

Get out ! You cheater !
Hide and Seek
Is over
You get lost !

« I can take you to the skies
Just give up and close your eyes
I can take you to the skies
Don't make a stand just close your eyes »
Disturbed by your words I doubted
But the more I concentrate the more you reveal that
You're the one who needs me afraid

Get out ! You cheater !
Hide and Seek
Is over
Now you play your games
Alone !

You face me now
I realize
None of the words from your mouth
Could have been mine
When you try to convince
Me this is for real
I answer you :
Fear is not reality

Don't let me here
You chose this place
Don't forsake me please...
You chose this place

Vanished.

Even Death May Die

I have been closing my eyes
As a stranger to my own life
But now I see your arms of light
That come for me through this night
Only now I feel that I know what's it's all about
So take me back there, mother, when and where you died

For years I've tried
To be, to this void, blind
I've shut my eyes before your ghost
This meeting with my life was what I feared the most
Scared of what good things could hide
I was distrustful all the time
Every day fighting against the dark
But the blackest thing was my sight

I have been closing my eyes
As a stranger to my own life
But now I see your arms of light
That come for me through this night
Only now I feel that I know what's it's all about
So take me back there, mother, when and where you died

You see me now, you hear me now, do you feel me now?
This solitude was yours, not mine
So I begin to see what's worth while
You say you're my desperation
I know how frightened you are
I'm not staying with you in Winter
‘Cos I'm made of every season
Every time and every place is my home
You chose to be alone

And I swear there is no way I fall into the dark
I have seen my mother die, I won't live a half of life

I said there is no way I fall into the dark
If you tear my heart in two, you will see it's full of light

In a world where desperation fades away before Trust
EVEN DEATH MAY DIE.

The Stream Of Our Lives

At the firth of our lives
Our faces are enlightened by our own smiles
Before we've followed the stream
We've looked back and thought twice
We sweat our own involvement
We shine our true dedication

The very best tribute we can pay
Is living our lives
With all the serenity we've got
The very best tribute we can pay
Is living our lives
With all the serenity we've got

We don't forget the ones our love couldn't prevent from dying
We don't forget ourselves neither nor the blood inside our veins

But this doesn't mean we accept to grieve

Release it! You're alive, here and now, show everything respect
Release it! Whatever the fears are... The time is set

We're a band of brothers
Brothers of a huge stream
A stream from Forever
A stream above Time

The Stream Of Our Lives...

Release it! You're alive, here and now, show everything respect
Release it! Whatever the fears are...

We sweat our own involvement
We shine our true dedication
We sweat our own involvement
We shine our true dedication

The final step hasn't been what you thought it was
Reality is that nothing true will never die
The stream has led us here, to the river's mouth
So let's take a deep breath and plunge side by side
