1. DEA TACITA

Once the gods fall
The road of mercy is closed forever
Deaf to her call
A price will be paid tonight
One and only
A promise kept for all the years to come
Dance out your anger
For farewells await you
Her maiden-screams light up the night

She's the ending
The neverending struggle to reclaim
That which was taken in silence, defiance
She's the one love
Who'll burn your feet if you stray from your path
The grim priestess, the night to reclaim you
Her maiden-screams light up the night
Shatter the stars that bring you light

Dea Tacita
Dividence, a true Pandora
Music ill of the doomsday keeps on playing
Dea Tacita
Fear her, but lend her your heart
Beats in her hand may grant you a new tomorrow

The wind lifts the veil of her moonlight hair
And all I know is, the night of judgment is upon us

Dea Tacita
Dividence, a true Pandora
Music ill of the doomsday keeps on playing
Dea Tacita
Fear her, but lend her your heart
Beats in her hand may grant you a new tomorrow
Dea Tacita


2. THE RIVER AND THE NIGHTINGALE

Dark streams flowing blackly on
A holy river, the life giver
Sweet angel voices calm
A fallen victor sailing to sundown
I have a tale to tell you
Of a river, the forgiver
All of your sins erased
Across the valleys, spawn of the earth
Make haste!
Streams of sand
You may bury me on this strand

Streams of sand keep falling
Through the hourglass
On doomsday pray
All your wishes have come to pass
Search the night
For the river and the nightingale
Their song spells the end of your tale
Your tale

In search of a tree of thorns
A God's creature, beautiful preacher
Flies with the half lit moon
Sacrificing a lifetime in longing
Life but a bridge to walk on
Over the river, the life taker
Fly like the wind, with feathers of chrome
Then burn them down
The tide will take you home
Streams of sand
You may bury me on this strand

Streams of sand
They keep falling through the hourglass
On doomsday pray
All your wishes have come to pass
Search the night
For the river and the nightingale
Their song spells the end of your tale

The ghostly vapours brooding low
O' Night songstress, arise before me
Take me home

I then sank my heart of flesh, no longer brave

O' dark, dark river
I am rejected
One with the liquid
Blackness constricted
Dark, dark river
Did I ask too much?
Did I care too much?
Did I love too much?
Dark, dark river
No one will see me
No one will hear me
No one will save me
You won't save me

Streams of sand keep falling
Through the hourglass
On doomsday pray
All your wishes have come to pass
Search the night
For the river and the nightingale
Their song spells the end of your tale

Streams of sand
They keep falling through the hourglass
On doomsday pray
All your wishes have come to pass
Search the night
For the river and the nightingale
Their song spells the end of your tale


3. CRY WATERFALLS

When you raise a glass
Raise it to the unconquered
To the names not known
Here's to all who now seek wonders alone
When it's time for me
Spread my ashes in a river
Sailing I shall be
Here's to all who find their way to the sea
Don't you drape me in gowns of black and white
For my colors complete this sight
A soul of a rainbow brings you the night

Oh if you so wish, cry waterfalls
The memory of our night calls
The moonlight I left behind for you
Is to guide you to the blue
The Blue

I looked in your eyes
They pierced the darkness, told stories
Of the pools of blue
Wondered why there was warmth that
I never knew
When you raise a glass
Raise it not for the old loner
In this house of grief
Toast instead the waves that bring you relief
Go and light us a candle for remembrance
Around it the sirens dance
The cliff with my name
Invites you to take a chance

Oh if you so wish, cry waterfalls
The memory of our night calls
The moonlight I left behind for you
Is to guide you to the blue
And if you so wish, just turn around
There's time to rejoin the drowned
A voice you remember calls for you
But doesn't make a sound

Still sunlight is dancing, dancing
In vapors of a waterfall
The rainbows are reaching high
Catch your lover in the sky

Dance in a playful grace
To see a familiar face
When the sirens rejoin the blue
Begin anew


4. NOMAD

An uphill path was paved with everlasting marble
White as the lie you live in
The road to a sacrifice must still be taken
For there is no tomorrow
Among the dreamers standing still
The grave that was not a myth
Awaits you afar
At the end, at the altar of scars

Remember
You have a sea of faith to walk upon
Never fear, shed a tear
Remember
Your soul will meet a lifeless drought before
At the end it'll thirst no more

Then travell'd on to see the hills of silver
Where lies my expectation
Weary the path ahead
Will the sirens carry me away
Away from heartache
From departure to salvation
Let the river of salty tears be lost in the sea
That'll guide you away from this dream

Long is the road for a nomad
With an anchor holding back
Hold back or reverse time's wheel
Still face the altar and heal

Remember
You have a sea of faith to walk upon
Never fear, shed a tear
Remember
You have a sea of faith to walk upon
Never fear, shed a tear
Remember
Your soul will meet a lifeless drought before
At the end it will thirst no more

A life entwined with river's end
A dried root looking for water
His eyes, a mirror to the past,
Reflect the love that couldn't last
A promise once strong, now undone


5. OATHBREAKER

As you hold my hand
As you fly me back to my promised land
Joy in my eyes soon turned into dust
As a credulous nightborn, suffer I must
A princess lured by a serenade
Was cut in half by the sharpest blade

Oathbreaker
Too many whys escape me
I am left without a key
To unlock the casket made of Judas tree
Oathbreaker
You promised me a bright sunrise
Turning red in the skies
Reflecting the face of your lies

It is not the end
For the spirit lives on forevermore
Tick ti-ti tock, the merciless clock
Never stops to rest on its infinite walk
Wished for days in a rocking chair
Father time had none to spare

Oathbreaker
Too many whys escape me
I am left without a key
To unlock the casket made of Judas tree
Oathbreaker
You promised me a bright sunrise
Turning red in the skies
Reflecting the face of your lies

Tick ti-ti tock, the merciless clock
Will return us to dust, the verdict is just

Oathbreaker
The dawn goes down today
Wishes fade away, nothing gold can stay
Why did the choir of midnight
Deny me one final refrain?
Why does my phantom sing in vain?

Oathbreaker
Too many whys escape me
I am left without a key
To unlock the casket made of Judas tree
Oathbreaker
You promised me a bright sunrise
Turning red in the skies
Reflecting the face of your lies

Oathbreaker
Oathbreaker
Breaker


6. RAVENHOLD

The snow falls in a race for the ground
No dream can make your mind come around
Walls, they shelter from harm
Possess no doors
Mind, its endless rooms forever yours
Outside, the wildfire runs free
The smoke veils the death of your tree
Most of what happens will take place again
Bound by stillness, it's safe to remain

Proud are the trees that bear no leaves
But a single raven still grieves
Will the walls one day unfold?
Nevermore, the prophet has told
But to rise above, fly so high, dance with
The life that was taken without a goodbye
I will sing to the trees
From Ravenhold, my peace

The past tells me a story of you
A day I already suffered through
Burning yet beautiful, barely illusional
A memory, a dive into the blue

Proud are the trees that bear no leaves
But a single raven still grieves
Will the walls one day unfold?
Nevermore, the prophet has told
But to rise above, fly so high, dance with
The life that was taken without a goodbye
I will sing to the trees
From Ravenhold, my peace

Proud are the trees that bear no leaves
But a single raven still grieves
Will the walls one day unfold?
Nevermore, the prophet has told
But to rise above, fly so high, dance with
The life that was taken without a goodbye
I will sing to the trees
From Ravenhold
My peace


7. HOUSE OF GRIEF

In a world of anguish
On a dried-up reef
Banshees build me a house of grief
Never heard their keening
Never sought embrace
From the one in a higher place

A bloodred absence in her heart
A story untold
Led her to a world where candles were ice cold
Adorned with feathers of the dark
Shadows fade to blue
Grim fate closed its one-way door behind you
Behind you

In a world of anguish
On a dried-up reef
Banshees build me a house of grief
Never heard their keening
Never sought embrace
From the one in a higher place
Higher place

A mournful cadence warns the soul
Of woe to come
In silence, the heart beats like a drum
Eden sank to grief and weeped
A paradise fell
By pale moonlight, dark lords tolled the bell

Out of day and night
A joy has taken flight
Moved her faint heart with a sweetened grief
Reminded of a tale so brief

A house of grief
A tale so brief

In a world of anguish
On a dried-up reef
Banshees build me a house of grief
Never heard their keening
Never sought embrace
From the one in a higher place

In a world of anguish
On a dried-up reef
Banshees build me a house of grief
Never heard their keening
Never sought embrace
From the one in a higher place


8. ARCHANGEL ANAMARIA

A night or two ago
Blackness
Danced in the skies
Blew her a soft kiss
Come oh child and rise
Blackness
Self-sacrifice, a fool's paradise
Soar with eagles
Hide inside the clouds of the past
At the verge of the sunrise
Once the moon takes over
There's an iconoclast
Destined to rule steadfast
Destined to rule with creed as her tool

Alone she sits on the throne of skies
A lone wolf, the truth in disguise
Kiss her armor, bend the knee
Then enter her reality
In daylight, an acolyte
At dead of the night, an archangel of high might

Lord of thunderhead and sky
Blackness
Gave her the wings
Repaired the crestfallen
Holder of the strings
Blackness
Marionette, outlive this sunset!
Share the eagle's view
Protect the clouds you call home
Break the break of day curfew
Higher and still higher
On your feathers of chrome
The vastness is yours to roam
The vastness is yours, death evens the scores

Alone she sits on the throne of skies
A lone wolf, the truth in disguise
Kiss her armor, bend the knee
Then enter life, a kingdom for the free

Gravity, reality, they are one and the same
They both bring you down regardless of your name
And my name is
Anamaria
Face the glorious queen of the twilight
Anamaria
My beacon shall ignite
All the cold liquid rose flowing in your veins

In daylight, an acolyte
At dead of the night, an archangel of high might


9. SCREAM

Wail once more
A mother at the ancient door
A relic of a hope forlorn
Melancholy wrote her lore
Tearless eyes
Will never find a way to the skies
Where the velvet voices drown out the cries
Of a mother's slow demise

Scream!
Scream!
A symphony of her release
Let them Scream!
Scream!
An endlessness before her peace
Let them Scream!

A mournful cry
Makes a sister wave the world goodbye
Now I am the very last of my kind
And the devil stars align

I am warm by the fire, but your cross will burn

Scream!
Scream!
A symphony of her release
Let them Scream!
Scream!
An endlessness before her peace
Let them Scream!
Scream!

Where the moon's light softly fades,
A portal stands, with whispers low,
A river flows within, of tears long shed,
Guiding souls of the silent dead
Faces pass, of those once known
Guiding my path to realms beyond
