1. CREDO

Credo

Doubts woken with cries
Through echoes of time
All yearning exiled
Waiting for a sunrise

To live without a life
Is waiting for a sunrise
That will never come

Clouds cloaking so high
From oceans afar
Outspoken in lies
Hidden from our eyes

An ode for the living dead
That will never surrender
An ode for the rising sun
That will never, that will never come

Credo


2. THE ARK OF CAIN

Bonds are broken
Downfall so low
Woe for a shapeshift
Devoid of any care at all

Sort it out
Throw it out
Live without
Pain

Never to return
To the wrath of kin
Never seen before
A new way to within
Never to succumb
To the age of sin
Welcome all aboard
On the ark of Cain

Winds of emotion
Whispers of escape
With curtains changing
From the cradle to the grave

It lingers outside
Wrapped in pain
Entire lifetime
Is one fading dream

Harbinger of sorrow
Harbinger of throes
It betrayed us for so long
As we wait for death

Harbinger of sorrow
Harbinger of throes

Never to return
To the wrath of kin
Never seen before
A new way to within
Never to succumb
To the age of sin
Welcome all aboard
On the ark of Cain

It lingers outside
Wrapped in pain
Entire lifetime
Is one fading dream


3. IN STASIS

Why we remain in stasis so vile
Demon of free will
Prisoners of a relentless defiance
Time to bid farewell

Why we remain in this blaze of the fire
With arms tied, standing still
Trapped on emerging funeral pyre
With an infinity left to dwell

I hit the ceiling as I understand
As the feeling grows beyond repair
It's all within my head

Action to destruction
It's all within my head
Reaction to seduction
Buried so low

Action to destruction
As rain falls down but I follow my own way
Rejection to seduction
It's hidden below

Why are we stuck in this haunting trial
On an angst-ridden empty field
Inhaling the ashes to reach something higher
And another story to tell

As the feeling grows beyond repair
It's all within my head

It's so desperate in this hole
A regime we can't fathom
Wandering around alone
Embracing inner chasms
One by one

As above so below


4. ECHOES OF THE FALL

Imprisoned with all solemn thoughts
With thickening rock bottom
Gravitating towards someone
It was predicated for so long
In the echoes of the fall

Haven't we asked for it
Haven't we been burned by this
Haven't we craved for it
Haven't we learned anything from this

A new beginning or the end
Keep on fighting or just stand?

In the hidden sight of God
On either side I'm not the only one
In silence of a longing war
Through striking rise and fall

The newest poison in the air
Keep on breathing, we won't last

Echoes of the fall


5. DESCENT

From a mystery to a memory
Remember thee
Set it free

Descent

Who will guide the power
Before it cuts us through
Who will unite the choir
It all comes back to you

Who will fight the empire
When all comes crushing down
Who will light the last fire in our hearts
It all comes down to you

Descent


6. INVICTUS

Forgotten for ages
Behind its lore
Strapped in their cages
Biting their tongues

Forlorn
Unborn
Invictus
No more

In ever after
Errors come to rule

As we witness
What's written in our scars
Made to survive

Grant us forgiveness
With burden so deprived
Yet feel so alive

In shades of horror

Trapped in their mazes
Righting their wrongs


7. WALLS WE CREATED

When we feel the blame unfold
It knocks upon our door
Either way
Replicate design
With images sublime

With the heart no longer aching
Hidden movements in disguise
A silver sun is glowing from the inside
Within walls that we despise

We have no one
The light is always dimmer
And words that turn the truth from lies
Only faith
Within walls that we created

We have no one
The grass is never greener
And there is nothing left but try
Only faith
Within walls that we've created

We arrive in this world so cold and alone
And we die in this world so cold and alone

We have no one

You are the one


8. MEMORY ETERNAL

All dead voices
Lead the way
On this path, so enormous
All the lifeblood
Ease the pain
And what the flesh encounters

And they call upon us
Fill the air in our lungs
Where is the sun
When do we return

Maybe we'll never leave this Earth
Some other day
Some will never hear thy song
'Til the crimson dawn

And they call upon us
The riddle in our hearts
Where is the sun
What have we become

In sedated compliance
Eradicated alliance
We're deeds of the one
Varnishing the spire
In need of someone
To perpetuate and guide us

In bleakness and misery
In anguish and despondency
In torment and suffering
In torture and agony
In struggle and adversity
In pain and melancholy

It doesn't have to be this way
For us

The road goes on forever
In memory eternal
In the fall

We'll remain together
In memory eternal
So strong

Rise
