1. SUN

This silence it drowns me
Not a single gust of wind passes by
This world no longer breathes

This land once so enthralling
Now merely a memory left
Her cries is to be heard to this day

Purest one I hear thy call for salvation
I owe one last sacrifice to thee
There's no excuse for our betrayal
Thy wrath I freely receive

Endless fields
Where life once just to thrive
Not a single song is to be sung

In mourning she awaits
Intending to perform
Her righteous revenge

As from a dream an ancient force awakens
Paralyzed I stand set and behold
Through the torned landscapes she sweeps and restores
The wind blew up once more

The source of life returns
This time to remain untouched
Forever to be free

And the bane is over
The world can breathe once again
Unharmed by our blight

The portal opens wide
A sign of our extinction in motion
This is the last steps I'll ever direct
Releasing all doubts that dwells deep within


2. EXTENDING THE HORIZON

From the ashes I rise
Far beyond the embrace of the stars
I'm enclosed by darkness
Yet without fear in my heart

In this land of solitude
Where nothing seems to dwell
I walk alone
In amnesia I am lost

Here's no sun to arise, no moon shining bright
Not a single star gazing down at me, not the mildest breeze

Something's awakening
Below the surface
Of this frozen pond

So steady now
They are leaving the inmost
To attend to the disrupted above

The fog lies dense
Prevents me from seeing what lies beyond

A crimson fire arises

Its flames licks my skin away
Burns my flesh, turns my bones to coal
And I am no longer imprisoned in my mortal shape
As my body turns to dust

We are stranded between two worlds
Helplessly stuck
Beyond, Beyond all salvation
This is our realm
Our heart

We return as one
Into the depths of this fountain
Our terminus, the tomb of worth

A haven to abolish life
A final eternal rest
Here I shall desist, I shall desist

Here's no sun to arise, no moon shining bright
Not a single star gazing down at me, it all fades


3. THE RETURN

Awaken now
It's time to rise
Your soul have had its rest

Through centuries lost
In dreams so cold
The nightmare unfolds once more

When night falls
Releasing the dark from beyond
Liberation of the unknown
Beware, as the darkest time begins
To reveal the weakness within us all

Now ascend to the above
Reclaim your righteous throne
Introduce yourself with pain

Then ride your pale horse
Through the burning plains of yours
Purge the world

When night falls
Releasing the dark from beyond
Liberation of the unknown
Beware, as the darkest time begins
To reveal the weakness within us all

I lie motionless on the frozen ground
The oath has been broken
Snow's now falling down from the summer skies
Chaos arrives

So pure I´ve become
Equal to the mother of us all
Now carried away by the tides
To enter my grave deep, deep below

On the surface the beast rode on
Along its parched desert
Which once used to hold so much life

The ember in her heart, extinguished
As for all of her beloved creations

"A dream of a sequel
Without fear and doubt
The return of life itself"


4. EERIE

And so it came
The occasion my heart so passionately burns for
O'enchanted night descend upon us
So blissful thy presence are

The embrace of your starlit above renders my stolen life
Oblivious to all but thy nocturnal delight

Unaware of the dreadful future
No, this moment will never subside
(We went) deeper, deeper into the woods
In blissful ignorance of what to come, of what to come

Something eclipses the moon
Erases all shades of light
In vain we try to run beyond it's reach
Hand in hand
Chased by these wrathful, majestic beasts

The ground trembles, the surrounding remains pitch-black
A malediction divine
They struck her down before me,
Seperating our flesh

I scattered her ashes in the northern winds
To set her free
Cursed to walk the earth alone
Till the end of this, this life

I was born into this world alone
And alone, I am now standing
So empty, a faint spectre of myself
I am no more


5. AT THE LIMITS OF LIGHT

In the nightside he wanders
Afar from home
In the glare of the crimson moon

He heads into the unknown
With fire in his eyes
In search of the gleam so pure

Where am I?

What am I? but a creation of flesh and bone
A reflection of the life which I scorn

Step by step, these attributes I've removed
To the ancient chaos I return

At the end of my own horizon
I've reached the limits of light
Now I exit the gates of distress
As I head into our blissful mothers night

I escape from gaia's destroyed grounds
Once so pure and tempting
I fly far above her desolated mountains
Away from her withering verdure

I was freed
By her gentle whisper
" O' son, forgive me nothing, I'll set you free "

The wind blew up a storm so cold
Left nothing untouched by its beuty
I directed my steps towards the verge hope was in my eyes
As I went beyond existence


6. REBIRTH

Night had arrived
And winter was sweeping by
Vitality had forsaken me
And I was left to die

" Is this my funeral,
Will I ever see the sun again? "
As the snow steady fell
Veiled what was left of me

I closed my eyes
And listened to the night
" Soon your soul he'll harvest with his schythe "

But out from the darkness
A presence firmly emerged
My frozen wake she approached with grace

She is the oldest star
Her heritage runs in my blood
An essence fierce as night itself
Forever thou shalt guide my steps

She regained me not with life, but with a curse
"Now, the sun in your chest no longer burns"

Condemned to walk among shadows in seclusion of my past
Forgotten

She is the oldest star
Her heritage runs in my blood
An essence fierce as night itself
Forever thou shalt guide my steps

I can't feel anything
Except the cold
That imprisons my heart
I am so empty, so old

Is this my rebirth
My destiny, this bane
The night owns me now
Only shadows shares my curse

All traits of being human now drained out my infamous soul
I was released from my enforced barriers

Day by day passes on
Yet still the night owns me, as she always has done

She is the oldest star
Her heritage runs in my blood
An essence fierce as night itself
Forever thou shalt guide my steps

Is this my rebirth
My destiny, this bane
The night owns me now
Only shadows shares my curse


7. THE REALM OF SLEEP

Drowning on the inside
Falling through darkened skies
I come home

This ancient dreamscape
So pure and fair
Constantly calling my name
Reveal thy hidden pathway
Unfold thy secret realm of sleep (to me)

The yearning to return has grown a ghoul in my heart
But now my wait is over
Welcome home

I return to the origin
The land of I
To the source from which my essence once took form

At last we reunite
You and I, my long awaited mother


8. MEMENTO MORI

Death comes in silence
A gentle sweep beyond our sight
Leaving the lone behind

All these years I've been dying
Slowly fading away
Awaiting

Now my time has come to join the deceased
In a last fiery, impassioned dance

My old ailments was cured
At last I emitted my soul

The crowning of a shadow
This barren world is now mine

Far beyond my dead, empty home
I have risen

I've went beyond the limits of life
I've left my trivial burdens behind

My lamentation of old loss
Has now come
To an end

The shrine has been locked, buried, forgotten
Yet empty to remain
