The face in the mirror looks
Like a sullen shadow fading
I can’t recognise it now
It has morphed into a phantom
My future’s behind me, the best is beyond me
The flame has passed on
I’ve tread the dark waters, moved past the borders
And found nothing
I heard all the words that were spoken aloud to me
I looked deep hoping to find
That someone would hold aloft to the cloudy sky
A beacon leading the blind
I looked to the stars, and I looked to the night hoping to be found
I looked in your eyes
I took a disguise and I travelled
Beyond the reach of my mind
I took to the stars and looked down to my dark and lonely thoughts
I looked back in fright
I shed all my failed and dead dreams
I left the broken behind
The sight of the phantom shows
What the past knew was coming
It now recognises me
And the shadows that haunt me
The future’s behind him, the best is beyond him
The flame has passed on
The rising of waters, the rate which has caught us
The last gasps of air
I heard all the words that were spoken aloud to me
I looked deep hoping to find
That someone would hold aloft to the cloudy sky
A beacon leading the blind
I looked to the stars, and I looked to the night hoping to be found
I looked in your eyes
I took a disguise and I travelled
Beyond the reach of my mind

Forever Morbid
04:27
|
|||
I don’t understand, everything that I had
The fragments from that time
Concealed in the dark, with no inner spark
Any life it had has been long gone
Don’t know what I am
Don’t know if I can
Don’t want to pretend
Don’t quite understand
It’s out of my hands
Just bring me the end
I cannot call it, I’ve fallen for it
I’ve fallen deeper than I ever meant
The fading thought is forever morbid
Escaping everything I’ve ever felt
I’m falling down it, the endless dark pit
The groundless walls seem to cascade away
Do I absorb it, or just ignore it
The light is forever moving away
If I awake and this all ends
Would it really be for the best
What would I find, a peaceful mind
Or a hollow husk with no insides
Don’t know what I am
Don’t know if I can
Don’t want to pretend
Don’t quite understand
It’s out of my hands
Just bring me the end
I cannot call it, I’ve fallen for it
I’ve fallen deeper than I ever meant
The fading thought is forever morbid
Escaping everything I’ve ever felt
I’m falling down it, the endless dark pit
The groundless walls seem to cascade away
Do I absorb it, or just ignore it
The light is forever moving away
I cannot call it, I’ve fallen for it
I’ve fallen deeper than I ever meant
The fading thought is forever morbid
Escaping everything I’ve ever felt

Next Wave
04:08
|
|||
Another day, another fight to win
I barely stand, I struggle to my feet
I feel the weight of the world upon my shoulders
No chance of peace, no respite from this world
On the next wave
I will hold on
I will stay afloat
On the next wave
The constant noise drowns any helpful words
Despondent thoughts, but still I must stand up
A solid rock, a tree with roots so deep
Weather the storm, and face the brunt of it
On the next wave
I will hold on
I will stay afloat
On the next wave
On the next wave
I will hold on
I will stay afloat
On the next wave

Remember Me
03:45
|
|||
Listen closely, can you hear their words
The echoes wander, waiting to be heard
Floating along on the winds that are blowing
Words that are true, and are wise and all-knowing
Winding their threads in the passages of time
Speaking to us and implanting in our minds
Call to me, revere me, remember me
Hold it closely, feel the warmth inside
Take that knowledge and open your mind
Rising above as the rivers are flowing
Deeds that are true, and will be ever-growing
Binding the past in the crumbling halls of time
Building anew from the rubbles of our lives
Bury me, forget me, wait and see…
Remember Me

Heimat
03:40
|
|||
Weit entfernt, Häuser die ich einst kannte
Die Häuser sind anders
Die Menschen auch
Fällt die Sonne, gehe ich
Wenn die Mauern zerfallen
Scheine ein kleines Licht, so hell
Ich werde leise gehen
Hinterlasse keine Spur
Verschwinde in den Nebel der Nacht
Weit entfernt, meine Heimat
Sie ist vergangen
Sie ist nicht mehr

Moths to a Flame
04:33
|
|||
I want to feel, I want to hold the fire
I want to see those on the pyre
Many lives are thrown upon
the flames just to burn away
Everything that they’ve done
Stays within us
Many lives are thrown away
Wasting a chance to embrace
All the feelings of those
Left behind to mourn
Moths to a flame and the fires burn
Same mistakes ensures the wheels turn
I want to hear, to hear their pleading
I want to know, their hearts are beating
If any life was thrown upon
A flame just to burn away
All the wrongs they have done
Stays within us
If any life was thrown away
Taking the chance to repay
All the shed tears of those
Lives we know
Moths to a flame and the fires burn
Same mistakes ensures the wheels turn

Have You No Faith in Me
05:14
|
|||
My time is over now
I’ve been through so much yet here I wait
I’ve wasted all my days
And I’ve had many a sleepless night
It takes me back again
It takes me to a time when I can’t escape
Tomorrow will wait for me
Alone I tremble and it has me worried
How will I manage this final time?
I don’t know but I’ll find a way
How will I take it when it all fails?
I don’t know but I’ll surely try
How will I face it when the moment comes?
I don’t know but I hope I smile
What will I say to those who doubted me
Have you no faith in me?
Well it is morning now
And I am still able to keep moving
I would welcome some sleep
But I’m so close to the ending
I lean upon the door
And wonder what will become of me
If I fall upon the floor
I’d just want it to be here in a hurry
How will I manage this final time?
I don’t know but I’ll find a way
How will I take it when it all fails?
I don’t know but I’ll surely try
How will I face it when the moment comes?
I don’t know but I hope I smile
What will I say to those who doubted me
Have you no faith in me?
How will I manage this final time?
I don’t know but I’ll find a way
What will I say to those who doubted me
Have you no faith in me?
Have you no faith in me?
Have you no faith in me?

O' Adrasteia
04:52
|

O’ Adrasteia there are those who boast aloud
They think they’ve risen high and are untouchable
Don’t let them get it all their way
Now that their words lead them astray
Let’s see the fear deep in their eyes
From your retribution
O’ Adrasteia
O’ Adrasteia
O’ Adrasteia put these men back in their place
O’ Adrasteia show these men there’s no escape
O’ Adrasteia there are those who do not care
They think they’ve got it all, take it from them
Don’t let them get it all their way
Now that their words lead them astray
Let’s see the fear deep in their eyes
From your retribution
O’ Adrasteia
O’ Adrasteia
O’ Adrasteia put these men back in their place
O’ Adrasteia show these men there’s no escape
Don’t let them get it all their way
Now that their words lead them astray
Let’s see the fear deep in their eyes
From your retribution
O’ Adrasteia
O’ Adrasteia
O’ Adrasteia put these men back in their place
O’ Adrasteia show these men there’s no escape

But through the ebb and flow
Of eternity your words haunt me
“In the vast realm
Between you and me
Through time you hear me cry”
But through the ebb and flow
Of eternity your words haunt me
“In the vast realm
Between you and me
The flames
They don’t comfort me
They lie
When the words you speak
Incomplete…”
The truths are hard to know
Still I need to bring
Your flames to me
“In my memories, old,
The fires burn so bright
They don’t grow cold”
The truths are hard to know
Still I need to bring
Your flames to me
In my memories, old,
The fires burn so bright
They grow
It powers over me
And consumes
All that’s left of me
And you…
