Unthaw
04:33
|
|||
Before the clouds concealed the stars
And the darkness became complete
Before the waters turned murky
And blood ran through the streets
Watching my charity dissipate
And my malice made concrete
Watching my friends retreat into shadow
From the same mistakes that I'd repeat
Come around a blind curve
To a realm covered in snow
Frozen in this glacial silence
All stagnant, but I did not know
Unthaw
Flow to all
Hear the avalanche's call

Fissure
04:28
|
|||
It starts again
Countdown from ten
Louder than before
Mountains collapsed, as time elapsed
Swallowed by nature's trapdoor
A fall to earth
Return to dirt
It's coming just for me
All alone, they'll find me cold
And covered in debris
When I catch up I'll be out of breath
Theaters of war leave actors in death
Gaps appeared
When pillars feared
Being shaken to the core
Strength gave way, skies turned grey
The fabric of existence tore
Just get a grip
Before you slip
Into a coma
It's too late now, sweat on your brow
Awaken, live, breathe trauma
When I catch up I'll be out of breath
Theaters of war leave actors in death

Biosphere
04:46
|
|||
We all think we know ourselves
Sound the alarm and ring the bells
I met my other side
Your mind becomes a silhouette
When just being human won't get
You through the night
Break the cage
You'll free the beast
This is holiday
I am raw instinct
The master forfeits his whip to his slave
It's the only way that he'll behave
Though he lives in fear
All the colors start to blend
Frame by frame we will transcend
Into the biosphere
Break the cage
You'll free the beast
This is holiday
I am raw instinct

Palace of Dreams
04:54
|
|||
Close to beauty, but not close enough
Touch her, explore her, she quivers at the slightest touch
Courage is born there, the coward he dies
Blankets of snow cover footprints of lies
Surround me
Completely
Every new wind holds a blizzard at bay
Her sky is left open, swim in the milky way
And as her roots entangle with mine
Our hearts intertwine into something divine
Surround me
Completely
And we shall jump from star to star
Not knowing what is our own
Just like the kings of old

The Pearl
05:25
|
|||
A flash of lightening
Candles aglow
The tear is the pearl of the human soul
Dry bones cry
During a drought
Fruit can't grow where life can't sprout
To find my mind
Was bathed in mist
A violent awakening of consciousness
All masks removed
No more facade
This wildfire will spread abroad
Please take me out to sea
Half submerged
In the abyss
I found comfort in restlessness
With celestial bodies
I beheld the night
Cease the advance I was crowned with light
Eclipsed in white
Divination
Afterglow preserved
Transfiguration
The angels sing
The saints applaud
This wildfire will spread abroad
Please take me out to sea
Compassion, the most beautiful of all your names

My Moon
03:23
|
|||
Do not carry off my moon
Won't you bring her back to me
Oh joy of the birds!
Sharing a nest is why they sing
Compassion stirs as they pluck their strings
Become one soul, composed of two wings
Love, soar
Hearts, roar
I pour you into me
Her fear sinks deep in night
His love will rise with the dawn
As his brush drips fuchsia
He paints the sky upon that which she has drawn
Compassion stirs as they pluck their strings
Become one soul, compared of two wings
My moon brings tides as she swims on high
Our heart will sail across the sky

Sweet Valleys
05:05
|
|||
Sweet valleys, you were magic
Running water, undying memories turn tragic
Peaks of mountains, might and valor
Trigger landslides, avalanches, doesn't get much louder
Sweet valleys, you were playful
Scent of pine trees, wanderlust becomes fatal
Peaks of mountains, fearless and true
Buildings topples, people panicked, all sanity withdrew
I'm not made to crumble with the ground underneath
I'm not made to be afraid to dream while I'm asleep
I'm not made for lasting weeping and the gnashing of teeth
And as the flower blooms
We leave our graves
And turn our back on our tombs

Ensnared
04:12
|
|||
Heroes go on journeys
Hoping to unearth enchantment
Forget the monsters
And dragons that lie dormant
Waiting to torment
Bravery without fail
Hopes to face down the danger
Forget the evil
And hatred that will torture
Forging a martyr
The odor of death is in the air
The feeling of a real nightmare
The hero is ensnared

Released
05:44
|
|||
Isolated into the dark
Now's my time to disembark
The truth brings out hurtful remarks
You can't take back
You ran away from winter's bite
Guard your head, stay out of sight
Now your guide will be moonlight
Wherever you are
Beauty starts to redeem
Waking you from your daydream
And you will be released
When living in awe is just a trance
When you're too down to earth, there's no romance
But if you speak up and take a chance
You might be heard
Beauty starts to redeem
Waking you from your daydream
And you will be released
When you're set apart to be unique
Beauty springs forth to redeem the mystique
When your love is strong, but you feel weak
Now it's the mountains and the trees that speak

Bloodstain
05:28
|
|||
My reality is bloodstain
I tried to drain all that pain
When the kingdom is free, the giant slain
My heart will remain arcane
