Lyrics


1. FROM NOW ON

The old days have passed
I'm trying to keep myself up
But something in this strange path I walk
Makes it harder

The old days have passed
I'm trying to keep myself up
But something in the strange path I walk
Makes it harder

I don’t need to remember the last word you said
As you were going away
I always knew that would happen someday

My heart is trying to escape from you
Now I feel alive
Open my fist, release my mind
Oh, can I?

Your voice is long, I won’t hear you anymore
I please the call of the rain to be stronger
To keep myself that way much longer

Struggling to guard my spirit, my soul
Though it seems so rough
Falling apart, laying on the floor
Oh, I feel numb


2. MISERABLE BATTLE

Like the light you returned to awake the day
It’s been years now
You have something to say

You want me to give you breath, to give you air
The lie of your soul
To dissolve

Your miserable battle leads you higher
Forces you to fall, drives you through fire
Between your worlds to decide
Which one you love more?
Drown into mud or your people to control

While you’re staring he holds your shoulder
A painful moment for you
To play with words

Pour your own blood on the altar of this end
Or paralyzed now
You stand

Your miserable battle leads you higher
Forces you to fall, drives you through fire
Between your worlds to decide
Which one you love more?
Drown into mud or your people to control

Your miserable battle leads you higher
Forces you to fall, drives you through fire
Your miserable battle leads you higher
Forces you to fall, drives you through fire

Between your worlds to decide
Which one you love more ?
Drown into mud or your people to control
Between your worlds to decide
Which one you love more ?
Drown into mud or your people to control


3. AN ANCANTHUS TALE

A red dragon adores the sea
The perfect purple color
Their only blend, the only key
What sky reflects at nightfall

Fire and water as one
An alchemy endeavors to complete
Serenity is not what just began
Two elements are trying to conceive

Her dry soul can only be fulfilled
With what is stolen from the gods
His humid flame is healed
When the fire expands

A candle at the bottom of his fall
The golden dawn mysticism inspires
Their magic seems enormous, feels strong
Despite their great fights

Fire and water as one
An alchemy endeavors to complete
Serenity is not what just began
Two elements are trying to conceive

Her dry soul can only be fulfilled
With what is stolen from the gods
His humid flame is healed
When the fire expands

Heteronym components and compounds
Are doomed to rarely meet
But when he, she found
The sun confronts the sea

A red dragon adores the sea
The perfect purple color
Their only blend, the only key
What sky reflects at nightfall

Her dry soul can only be fulfilled
With what is stolen from the gods
His humid flame is healed
When the fire expands


4. THE OTHERS ARE GONE

Sealed shutters, wet concretes
That is where they sacrificed their souls
They gave their blood into the Lethe
Without a fight, without a word

Like we‘re no longer willing to exist
For each other we just look and touch
Selfishness fills empty spaces
We suffocate, I’m not enough

Listen before you leave
It’s not just silence what I want you to give
Help me stand towards the sun
The others are already gone
The others are gone
The others are gone

Without demur they left this place
They fear the dark, but they gave their light
When time takes its immortal face
They seek salvation to clear their sight

They simply mind to avoid the night
When I only wish and need to breathe
To breathe this ground each day and night
The ground you walk to come to me

Listen before you leave
It’s not just silence what I want you to give
Help me stand towards the sun
The others are already gone
The others are gone
The others are gone
