1. ÖVERGIVENHETEN

Sweetness like a whisper
Sharpness, dragon claws
If you could be my sister
If you could trace my paws
I long for unforgiveness
The words still never read
I seek the undetermined
The fluids never bled

So won't you bleed for me?
Bleed for me

If you can stand
The silence, it drags you in
You're on your own and now it spits you out
The wind and the rain keeps on shutting you down again
You've been waiting for so long
If you can stand
Now you've been hanging on for so long
If you can stand...

The scent of pure damnation
The force that pulls you through
You've had enough sensations
And now it's only you

So would you bleed for me?

If you can stand
The silence, it drags you in
You're on your own and now it spits you out
The wind and the rain keeps on shutting you down again
You've been waiting for so long
If you can stand
Now you've been hanging on for so long
If you can stand...

If you can stand
The silence, it drags you in
You're on your own and now it spits you out
The wind and the rain keeps on shutting you down again
You've been waiting for so long
If you can stand
Now you've been hanging on for so long
If you can stand...


2. NOUS SOMMES LA GUERRE

Nous sommes la guerre
Nous sommes le contraire
Nous sommes l'opposition

Nous attendons le porteur de lumière

I can feel the shadows enter, risin' from the earth
Now that everyone is giving me the widest berth
I have nightly visits, sentient absence watchin' me
Nurturin' the itch where other worlds are scratchin' me

When I heard the voices from below
Gently tellin' me where I should go
Speakin' demon tongues in stereo
Face the undetermined, let it show
Let it show

So could you hold my fire?
Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite?
Nothing's new
It's just the fear that
Something's comin' after you

It's the brimstone sparkling, touching me at parts unseen
Just a sharp reminder prodding at what could have been
Would you share my burden, help me lay this ghost to rest?
If you disagree then please pretend it's for the best

Every trial that we must undergo
Trapped between the current and the flow
Melodies above the hellish drone
Sound the unrefined and let it go

So could you hold my fire?
Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite?
Nothing's new
It's just the fear that
Something's comin' after you

Hold my fire
Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite?
Nothing's new
It's just the fear that
Something's comin' after you

Nous sommes la guerre
Nous sommes le contraire
Nous sommes l'opposition
Nous attendons le porteur de lumière


3. ELECTRIC AGAIN

I long for silence
A cold embrace
A sheltered place
Where my past is erased
You know I miss you
You don't know how
Eternal pain
In the blink of an eye

And now I'm hurtling
Towards the void
All for a bond that can't be destroyed

And it's haunting me
What we used to be
Like a ghost in me
Whispering endlessly
And you know I would
If I only could
Be electric
Electric again

I sense the currents
A feathered touch
A heightened sense
Where your fingers once brushed
I serve no master
But still I'm drawn
To where life breaks
As it enters the dawn

And now I'm hurtling
Towards the void
All for a bond that can't be destroyed

And it's haunting me
What we used to be
Like a ghost in me
Whispering endlessly
And you know I would
If I only could
Be electric
Electric again

And now I'm hurtling
Towards the void
All for a bond that can't be destroyed

And now I'm hurtling
Towards the void
All for a bond that can't be destroyed


4. VALLEYS OF GLOAM

It sends me back in time
From all the symbols and signs to you

So I'll take down that shield again
Every thought every feeling I preciously overspent

Let me see every fire that's burning
Let me worship the days ahead
Despite a sudden change
I am bound to feel the same, the same
The same until the valleys of gloom calls my name

It breaks the silence of mine
Erases words between lines too soon

I would ease all those worries within a blink
Drag my faith through the waters and offer you everything

Let me see every fire that's burning
Let me worship the days ahead
Despite a sudden change
I am bound to feel the same, the same
The same

I'd run my feet to the bone on cold and cobbled streets
Anything to make you weep, to catch you in your sleep
Our world was blind, but we stood side by side
But then my soul went through all those darker times

Let me see every fire that's burning
Let me worship the days ahead
Despite a sudden change
I am bound to feel the same, the same
The same until the valleys of gloom calls my name


5. IS IT IN YOUR DARKNESS

Is it in your darkness
To break free from all the pain
Now is it in your darkness
To share your dreams with all that is sane

As you speak those words and incinerate
Everything you've forged from within
Giving fire to the heart of your universe
And lead to your dying kin

You're spitting worms in all your glory
Redeemer of coming deaths
It's in your eyes, no one seems sorry

I saw you in the shadows
Just as bleak as the night
Through a veil, crimson red
You looked just like a child
The creature keeps on leaping
Through your buried soul
You'll get through, if you do
I'll be the first to embrace you

Now is it in your darkness
To rely on forgotten sins
Is it in your darkness
To fall from grace and
Let your demons win

You're spitting worms in all your glory
It's in your eyes, no one seem sorry

I saw you in the shadows
Just as bleak as the night
Through a veil, crimson red
You looked just like a child
The creature keeps on leaping
Through your buried soul
You'll get through, if you do
I'll be the first to embrace

First to embrace
First to envy you

Is it in your darkness
To break free from all the pain
Now is it in your darkness
To share your dreams with all that is sane


6. VULTURES

No need for apologies
If you let me in
No need for astronomy
Where our space begins

I've been looking for the truth
In shards of evermore
Now they're circling over bodies
Where I used to dwell before

All you vultures

Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows
(No one knows)

That gaze in your scarlet eyes
Towards the other side
Short lived as a dragonfly
But the end is nigh

Life in itself is an unknown disease
But I will try to put you at ease
Those nooks and crannies
Harboring light
Fulgur ignis spiritus
Level the veil tonight

Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows
(No one knows)

All you vultures
All you vultures

Hold me nameless
Hold me close
Hold me breathless
No one knows
(No one knows)

8. DEATH, I HEAR YOU CALLING

I know you've had the same sensation
Invitations to explore the great unknown

But you never want to talk about it
And I never want to talk about it
Some things are better left unsaid

Death, I hear you calling
But I can't reply
Though you've seen me falling
There's still life inside
Death, I hear you calling
And I can't deny
That you left me wanting
But there's no time to die

I know you've felt the pull from the electric third rail
Your gaze when staring at the sky

But you never want to talk about it
And I never want to talk about it
Some words are meant for the undead

Death, I hear you calling
But I can't reply
Though you've seen me falling
There's still life inside
Death, I hear you calling
And I can't deny
That you left me wanting
But there's no time to die

Death, I hear you calling
But I can't reply
Though you've seen me falling
There's still life inside
Death, I hear you calling
And I can't deny
That you left me wanting
But there's no time to die

There's just no time to die


9. THIS GODLESS UNIVERSE

Solve the riddle and the numbness is gone
Squeeze the trigger and the countdown is on
I have a feeling that it won't be long
I have a feeling that it won't be long

And I have watched me from the outside
Slowly shutting down
The shapes and forms of beauty's downside
All around

We were never meant to stay
Just to die another day
'Cause all we are is dust
In this Godless universe

Radiation from electrical minds
Mass sedation and we're frozen in time
I have a feeling that it won't be long
I have a feeling that it won't be long

And I have watched me from the outside
Slowly shutting down
The shapes and forms of beauty's downside
All around

We were never meant to stay
Just to die another day
'Cause all we are is dust
In this Godless universe

Shades of embers still surround me
Like the ghosts of something new
So, I'll let the void pass through me
Where there once was only you


10. DREAMS OF NOWHERE

It reaps your soul
It won't leave you alone
It runs through everything
It ravages hope
Believe these words
Can't escape your curse
You keep on treading water
Taking a turn for the worst

Bleeding through the blanching skin you're
Offering the Gods your name
Bound to see the sunrise fading
The everlasting flame

No, it ain't your time
To waste another miracle
Can you read the signs?
Your burden isn't biblical
All that fire inside
Transcending from the physical
You are damned but alive
Already reached the pinnacle

It's a relentless chase
For the apocalyptic sake
It's paved the road
For your ancient pain
To serve and protect
Your own neglect
You're falling free
And in his heaven he wept

Bleeding through the blanching skin you're
Offering the Gods your name
Bound to see the sunrise fading
The everlasting flame

No, it ain't your time
To waste another miracle
Can you read the signs?
Your burden isn't biblical
All that fire inside
Transcending from the physical
You are damned but alive
Already reached the pinnacle

A never dying stigma
It shuts you down
And let you sleep

It reaps your soul
It won't leave you alone
It runs through everything
It ravages hope
Believe these words
Can't escape your curse
You keep on treading water
Taking a turn for the worst

Illuminating dreams of nowhere
The darkest way to conquer your regime

No, it ain't your time
To waste another miracle
Can you read the signs?
Your burden isn't biblical
Your burden isn't biblical


11. THE EVERLASTING FLAME

(instrumental)


12. GOLGATA

Out of the ordinary chaos occurs
Lines that are drawn turn into a blur
I'm not an empath but you know how I yearn
Wrote you a message now I'm watching it burn

If everything we said was nothing but lies
Wish you were here to watch them wither and die
I've felt the essence, I've seen the truth
I've seen the end and it was nothing but you

I have seen it all in your starless eyes
Premonitions of one last goodbye
That will take us anywhere but here
'Cause the end's all that's certain

Guess I never took the easy way out
Hid myself behind a shadow of doubt
I've shut out the things I have missed
And deny they even exist

If I could have had a final wish
It's for life to be more than this
But I've felt the thrill of it all
And now I wait for eternity's call

I have seen it all in your starless eyes
Premonitions of one last goodbye
That will take us anywhere but here
'Cause the end's all that's certain

Out of the ordinary chaos occurs
Lines that are drawn turn into a blur
I'm not an empath but you know how I yearn
Wrote you a message now I'm watching it burn

If everything we said was nothing but lies
Wish you were here to watch them wither and die
I've felt the essence, I've seen the truth
I've seen the end and it was nothing but you


13. HARVEST SPINE

I am the logical master
I am the thousand winds that blow
Not aware of the chain reaction
The diamond that glints on the coming snow

A seasonal triumph, sacrificial hearts
It is in your judgement but still too far
A pack of your demons in circled flight
Are eating me up, I'm befriending the night

Set to incite

Condemned by the voices in your chest
Permission to burn the rest
A winter inside your soul
Protector of sulphur and gold

Reaching harbours where the flickering light never dies
Fields lie open as you fall
Tend to overlook the sky that's weighing you down
Lost in sleep, slothfulness, riddled by death, empty inside
Harvest spine

I am the 'I' in illusion
What you see is the pain that you feel inside
A man of seclusion
Forever to bleed when I hide

Abandoning spirits and offsprings
Sinners and scapegoats, grains of sand
Preparing your offerings
As poison now runs from the palm of your hands

From your hands

Condemned by the voices in your chest
Permission to burn the rest
A winter inside your soul
Protector of sulphur and gold

Reaching harbours where the flickering light never dies
Fields lie open as you fall
Tend to overlook the sky that's weighing you down
Lost in sleep, slothfulness, riddled by death, empty inside
Harvest spine


14. ON THE WINGS OF A GODDESS THROUGH FLAMING SHEETS OF RAIN

J'ai cherche la lumière
J'ai erré aveuglément dans la nuit
Mais je suis la Princesse Dragon
Intouchable, inoubliable et invulnerable

I've seen you in my visions
Your struggles and your fears
Your sudden quick decisions
The mist that's drawing near

And on the wings of a Goddess
Through flaming sheets of rain
I've come to enter this process
By simply sharing your pain
Your pain

I've watched you wrapped in silence
To quell your raging mind
You never asked for guidance
But I still saw the signs

Is this the final outcome
Of all you tried to achieve?
Is this what made your soul numb
The day you ceased to believe?

And the truth in your face
As you're asking why
Tiny hands just like birds
Longing for the sky

Tied down by your selves
As their worlds collide
When you try to defend
All that you denied

Sweet is the poison that rages through thee
Freed from the dead zone enveloping me
Now is the blueprint, the plan and the start
I slew the past with a stake through my heart

I know how they trampled you
I know how they spat on you
Let's not turn the other cheek
We're not shallow, we're not meek

We're the calm before the storm
Enlightenment above the norm
Let's not turn the other cheek
We're not shallow, we're not meek
