1. WINTER'S END

Lift up your heart
You are not broken
There's hope within each failure
You'll be renewed come winter's end

Love to topple mountains
And life to reclaim shadow
Every season passes
In time all nightmares end

Hearts freeze, but in time
New loves will burn
Snow howls, but warmth will
One day return

Lift up your heart
You are not broken
There's hope within each failure
You'll be renewed come winter's end

Frost will come to flowers
Every crow will take to flight
In the darkest hours
Kindle hope, light up the night
Spero, bruma finis
Spiro, nox fini et
Spero, bruma finis
Spiro, di es veni et

Fear not every winter
Await each spring with awe
Cherish every snowflake,
Perfection in our flaws

Hearts freeze, but in time
New loves will burn
Snow howls, but warmth will
One day return

Lift up your heart
You are not broken
There's hope within each failure
You'll be renewed come winter's end

Endless are dreams
Endless are memories
There lies a fire, in your heart
You'll be renewed, come winter's end


2. LOATHE

Don't you ever ask for daylight
Don't you ever cry for help
I am your cause for failure
I am my own as well

Don't know who the mirror shows me
Don't want to face myself
No way to take the blame
Bury it with someone else

Pray for the answers to be lined with ease
But know deep inside that it could never be
In my shadows at last I see
The reason for this war; it's been me

How could the dawn turn to dusk so fast?
How could I forsake the dreams of the past?
When I look inside and see,
Everything that's left of me
I've become all I swore not to be

Ashes that long for fire
Grant me the will to burn
Save me and show no mercy
Kill me I'll never learn

Each tear tells the same old story
One who's betrayed their home
Only voice truly tainted,
Spilling lies, is my own

Show no mercy; save me
Show me mercy; kill me
All pure dies

How could the dawn turn to dusk so fast?
How could I forsake the dreams of the past?
When I look inside and see,
Everything that's left of me
I've become all I swore not to be

I weep for all those gravestones
Buried but still I breathe
Six feet under my own cell
Can't stop me; I'll break free

Welcome the sun, paint the night sky red
Reclaim lost dreams and awaken the dead
When I look inside and see
Everything that's meant for me
I'll become all I can

The trumpets call this soldier back to arms
Conquer the night and a life far from harm
When I look inside and see
Everything that's meant for me
I'll become all I can
I'll become all I swore I could be


3. EQUINOX

Of all this time we've been alive
We've never felt such love inside
Air so warm and stars so bright
Awestruck in those summer nights

Free; the light among the dark
The sky before each dawn
The breeze, the fields, the trees
The final summer's eve

Born from shadows in the sun
Here's to living, now begun

All this time we've been alive
We've never felt such love inside
Air so warm and stars so bright
Awestruck in those summer nights

Dreams; in clear, moon-painted light
Awake but flying high
With those whose love knows not
The farewell lullaby

Chills and warmth upon the skin
Recall the whisper of the wind

All this time we've been alive
We've never felt such love inside
Air so warm and stars so bright
Awestruck in those summer nights

Hearts on fire and minds alight
The evening beauty's perfect sight
Child-wonder holding tight
Awestruck in those summer nights

Leaves and stillness, our fleeting paradise
All nights subside, we have watched each one pass by

All this time we've been alive
We've never felt such love inside
Air so warm and stars so bright
Awestruck in those summer nights

Time and evening pass us by
Autumn comes and fills the sky
Memories remain inside
Dreams of those last summer nights


4. ELYSIUM

So on this altar of the damned
Red wine flows for false idols
Lay down your life and kiss the robes
You'll swear to God, this is Eden

And now your hands are bound
By the profits you would kill to keep
Why wait for death, your Hell's been found
Its blood stains your bare feet

Tell me, did the crucifix bleed just to save a lie?
Show me, the Golgotha we die in every night

Don't dare praise your morality
You, the King of Thieves
100 million walking corpses
You will not relieve

We claim, righteousness as the temple is defiled
One day, the human race will choke on their sick lies

Damn them, damn us
This is my disbelieving prayer
Ruled by gold calves
Salvation fireside, angels beware

This is it, the eleventh hour
Your tears won't save you now
Drown the world, bathed in blood
Your tears won't save you now

Damn them, damn us
This is my disbelieving prayer
Ruled by gold calves
Salvation fireside, angels beware

Failed crop, failed lives
What once was sown has now been reaped
Cold air, dead sky
The world's final feast


5. ONLY THROUGH DARKNESS

Our happiest moments are only lived once,
Still every night our demons haunt us

A plea to a pulpit will not ease our pain
Blinded by sun, frozen by rain
Beautiful fireflies haunting the night
As we hunt them, we're lost in the light

Love will not save you, my sweet valentine
If there is hate in your mind

Only through darkness can any star shine
With light in our hearts
We all go blind
Building our fire so hot that we burn
Into the cold
We'll never learn

Words of ink are not erased by breath
We all must pen our own
Brighter still the sun will shine as
Darker will the shadows grow

Heaven or hell's not a lifetime away
We make our own every day
We are not prisoners of any fate
Never should life be a cage

Only through darkness can any star shine
With light in our hearts
We all go blind
Building our fire so hot that we burn
Into the cold
We'll never learn

Only through darkness can any star shine
With light in our hearts
We all go blind
Building our fire so hot that we burn
Into the cold
We'll never learn
