1. CURSE OF THE MAIDEN

Wandering the dark woods
In the shading of the night
Silent spectres fill the grove
What could happen if I tried?

She appeared to me
As a maiden of the damned
Perpetually dressed
In a mantle of black rose

The thorns pierce her skin,
And forever she bleeds,
But she still runs and rides
Right behind me
She followed my trace,
Took me by the hand
Now it's time to ride

Beautiful, of a pale complexion
Memories of a curse
She recalled images to tell me of her story
That I saw like a real nightmare run

She became a silhouette
In a covenant entrapped
A past evening entity
It is her who haunts the dark

Can a bird with torn wings
Fly one more time in the sky
Can the eve of new days
Make it trust in love again?

Lady of the dark who dresses
In a cape of thorny roses black
What's hidden in your mind?
A spell was cast on you aeons ago
And only love can set you free
A cursed maiden you are

Oh but your tears of regret are not heard in this place
So come with me and escape from the dead
Taste the redemption, now
Immortality is not humanity


2. ATEM

Dancing with the bells that chime
Empty melodies of light
Silent souls sail seeking stars
Under dark curtains of dust

Sundered lives; demons rise

In the blackened mountains their powers rise
Like a swarm of hatred, prophets of lies
When the dawn of ages called forth their rage
And a cloud of despair covered the page

Beyond the time, sacrificed
Across our sky, sanctified

When the shadows cover me
We shall storm the gates of fear
A red desert falls and sinks
To the bottom of the sea

Battles blaze with burning bronze
Over kingdoms turned to gold
Keys of heaven now long lost
Under dark curtains of dust

I cannot imagine the end
But the fate of glory awaits
Shall we fall in the rain or stand up again?
And if we transcend on the way
Through the book of the dead
Should we conquer our fears
Or be conquered by them?

Deep in your soul
Fear of the unknown
Demystify
Open your eyes

The walls are stained in Crimson
Beyond the Idol's scriptures
Stare into the eyes of treason
The dawn is set afire

How can we begin to fly
If we hold onto our lies
So we ride into the sun
Where the corpses of dead Gods
Shall adorn the human mind

The summer eclipse turns Night into three
But the northern winds are red
Seventy stars rise over with might
Like on an old masquerade
A place of fear is lost upon the dark
Spiritual lights reveal my destiny

In the blackened mountains they met their end
And their pale reflections must not ascend
When the dawn of ages calls forth again
Will a cloud raining hope cover the page?

I cannot imagine the end
But the fate of glory awaits
Shall we fall in the rain or stand up again?
And if we transcend on the way
Through the book of the dead
Should we conquer our fears
Or be conquered by them?

Deep in your soul
Fear of the unknown
Demystify
Open your eyes


3. INTO RIVERS OF TIME

What would you do if I showed you your death
Down to the detail, the time and the date
What would you do, oh do tell, if I said
That you're a dream in someone else's head

Imperishable night
Oh, Where am I?
The ocean in the sky
Now reflecting

The words you believe
And the world that you see
Are mysteries lost
In the colours of the wind

I'll tell you when
Your fate is to end
So open your eyes
And face the new day

I've travelled through stars and time
To know who you are
Where darkness and sadness die
The cradle of life

Your spirit is not an end or mean
But a vessel made for something else
The memories of your life
Are cast into rivers of time

Don't fear my name, but fear what cannot smile
Just take my hand, everything will be right
This is a place where illusions survive
Our time is short so please don't ask me why

Imperishable night
I know I can fly
The ocean in the sky
Reality melding

I've travelled through stars and time
To know who you are
Where darkness and sadness die
The cradle of life

Your spirit is not an end or mean
But a vessel made for something else
The memories of your life
Are cast into rivers of time


4. A SIREN'S CHANT

In the ocean were
The horizon is near
Her voice entranced me
And I could only hear

"Now stay here with me
In the depths of the sea"
Something inside me
Told me to run and flee
But her song remained
In my head like a dream

Oh sirena, qué no puedes ver
Las lágrimas que derramaste ayer?

Why don't you sing?
I miss your song on the sea
Time after time
You've forgotten how to live

El mundo sin ti es solo una ilusión
Vuelve a cantar, sé feliz una vez más

Years after that night
I heard her voice again
Always searching for
Someone to share her pain

"Si no quieres aceptar mi voz
Devuélveme ya mi corazón"

Why don't you sing?
I miss your song on the sea
Time after time
You've forgotten how to live

El mundo sin ti es solo una ilusión
Vuelve a cantar, sé feliz una vez más


5. THIS WORLD (IS BROKEN)

Something about this world is broken
Something that yells to me
The greed of humankind

And so we keep our ways of living
There's no way out of it
The game has just begun

But you have always known, our lives matter at all
That we can prove to be the reason standing for a change
To find our space inside this bedtime story
Because together we can change our destiny

For in this broken world
We are our only hope
For fear of what might be
To kiss mistakes goodbye

And yet we think we're so enlightened
But unlike animals
We do away with life

We're not as human as we believe
So let's break free from this fallacy
Something about this world's broken thus
It's us

But you have always known, our lives matter at all
That we can prove to be the reason standing for a change
To find our space inside this bedtime story
Because together we can change our destiny

For in this broken world
We are our only hope
For fear of what might be
To kiss mistakes goodbye


6. MYSTIC SIGN ~ THE UNKNOWN NIGHT

The great illusion of our time
Filling up our minds
The magic sign of a blazing star

Walking miles upon red soil
Crimson autumn leaves
Their coloured shades then drift to the sea

Oh - we wait for the miracle night
Take us to the path of life
The golden cage contains the key
Fate will show you the right way

Mysterious voices whispering
"Don't come here alone
Keep up your pace, don't you get entranced"

A broken city lies ahead
Flowers in the sky
Time after time, oh the raven calls

Oh - we wait for the miracle night
Take us to the path of life
The golden cage contains the key
Fate will show you the right way

Oh - no turning back again
Oh - the light awaits

Oh, we wait for the miracle night
Take us to the path of life
The golden cage contains the key
Fate will show you the right way


7. KILLING THE VICE

There's a raven flying
In the blue skies up above
It can't feel the sorrows on the ground
When the kings of justice
Disavow their holy lands
Will the raven dive and take their crown

And so they cry
Leaving their lives, plain lives defined
Waving good bye
To masked signs
They keep enshrined

And then they wonder why

Misery runs
Through the streets
As a river of envy
Dirtying their wings
Oh, do you know
Who will throw the dice
And who will kill the vice?

Criminals are rampant
And their victims turn astray
Thinking of their burden as a play
When the people cry out
To regain their sanity
Will the day of judgement break away

And so they cry
Leaving their lives, plain lives defined
Waving good bye
To masked signs
They keep enshrined

And then they wonder why

Misery runs
Through the streets
As a river of envy
Dirtying their wings
Oh, do you know
Who will throw the dice
And who will kill the vice?

Real mirage or fake reality
Drawing our bodies to infinity
So come on this day
And join us inside this septette of ashes

Clouded dreams are dying
Reach out for the lightning

And so they cry
Leaving their lives, plain lives defined
Waving good bye
To masked signs
They keep enshrined

And then they wonder why

Misery runs
Through the streets
As a river of envy
Dirtying their wings
Oh, do you know
Who will throw the dice
And who will kill the vice?


8. INVIERNO

Here we are, just like all those years ago
Sitting watching the sickly leaves of fall
Living in the days of old

But we are together and that's all
With our witness, the cold light of the sun
There is nothing but our love

Oh away, no law
That is how we loved
There was nothing more

But the future is cruel
So our paths were to split
On that night

Forgive me, come back to me
And let our hearts become one again

Until the end of all times
'Til the end of time

I have no fear of breaking
The boundaries of this world
The seal is unbroken
The barrier between life and death

Your heart is the key
To reunite our destinies
So grant me the power to be

Now believe that I'm not afraid
Because forever i'll follow you
Even into the embrace of the end


9. HEART OF FIRE

There's a place you know
Deep within your heart
A fragment of my soul

Who do you think you are
I'm living in the past
And with an aching scar

Like a writer's empty heart
Emptied, to fill a blank page
His mind can't heal the wounds
And from his bleeding art
Flows forth the sin of your name
You know no words will do

Rise, firmament
See the struggle inside your soul
To deny that it holds part of me
To forget is impossible
As you claw your way out, my love
And the walls that i've built within
They shall not tumble to forgive
Can you remember my face

A heart of fire stares
Weeping on your crown down below
Treason painted gold
Denying what you are
Knowing the right way, where to go
Conscious of your fate

Rise, shining star
See the struggle inside your soul
But it now stands alone, like your grief
To forget is impossible
As you claw your way out, my love
And the shadows that burn within
They're not what you want to believe

Your eyes don't reflect on mine
So this heart will remain of fire
But the line that entwined our lives
Is something I can live without

Tomorrow you can hide forever on


10. NOWHERE
