"Crimson Wave"

"Crimson Wave"



She's riding on a crimson wave
Truth sat on her shoulder
Planets before melting face
The keys for the wounded
Sinking into underground
Please the one who wants it
Something is pulling you down
It's not the cravings why you need it

It's a rush hour inside my head
Don't wanna share the anguish
And I will take it away from you
Before you can change it

That bastard hallucination's pushing me
Like a damned I walk over
Touch the sky when it's burning red
Standing the ground I have chosen

Shivering in outer space
There's no one who can hear you
Getting into different state
It's like getting nowhere
Gathering all those fears and fails
There's no one who can see you
Someone is pulling you down
It's not the cravings why you need it

It's a rush hour inside my head
Don't wanna share the anguish
And I will take it away from you
Before you can change it

That bastard hallucination's pushing me
Like a damned I walk over
Touch the sky when it's burning red
Standing the ground I have chosen

"Dark Path"

"Dark Path"



In the twilight when he steps forth
In the bend of the dark path
When he catches up with you
You won’t know if he’s on your side
Or if he will turn against you

And in the dead of a moonless night
As your path turns into the black
You become one with the darkness
And in the dead of a moonless night
Who knows if you are brothers
Or if you will turn against each other

And it the dusk when he finds you
Hidden in the shadows
He must judge your allegiance
He won’t know if you’re on his side
Or if you will turn against him

And in the dead of a moonless night
As your path turns into the black
You become one with the darkness
And in the dead of a moonless night
Who knows if you are brothers
Or if you will turn against each other

"Day Of Your Beliefs"

"Day Of Your Beliefs"



I can hear your yearnings
your anguished cries
let the nourishment pass you by
as it leaves you without
without a trace
it leaves you without the scars

it's a day of the ruins
the time of your relief
it's a day of the judgements
the day of your beliefs

bitter is the end
the end of your cry
let your nourishment pass you by
it'll leave you without
without your faith
it'll leave you without your grace

it's a day of the ruins
the time of your relief
it's a day of the judgements
the day of your beliefs

"Dead Man's Dream"

"Dead Man's Dream"



On opening my eyes…
The world dark as my soul…
Nothing moves, nothing flows
A dream of a dead man

The moss of thoughts fill my mouth…
Lichen grows on my bones… Vertebrae detach…
Teeth lost in the grit

The night has swallowed my name…
Taken my time, taken my place
The dusk has covered my trace…
The rain has washed my memories away

I have disappeared…
I am no more… Turned into voice of storm
The roaring song of space…
Behold the waves… They roll over themselves
Behold the waves… There lies the lap of time

"Death Of A King"

"Death Of A King"



When the dawn is bright and new
And the day is full of hope
It's easy to continue your journey
Like a king on his royal way

You will stand there amidst silence
In the void of endless winter
On the ice of an unknown lake
In the heart of loneliness

There you will meet yourself
There you'll weigh your crown
On the ice of the lake of death
On the mirror of time

There you will meet yourself
There you'll weigh your crown
On the ice of the lake of death
On the shiny mirror of time

When the days are getting colder
And the winds clash against each other
When light is getting dimmer
And darkness shrouds the roads

You will drift into strange byways
Lost in foreign lands
Stranded on frigid shores
On a godless desolate plain

There you will meet yourself
There you'll weigh your crown
On the ice of the lake of death
On the mirror of time

It's there where your endeavour ends
On the face of a forlorn lake
Under weight of a timeless sky
It is there where you shall die

There you will meet yourself
There you'll weigh your crown
On the ice of the lake of death
On the mirror of time

There you will meet yourself
There you'll weigh your crown
On the ice of the lake of death
On the shiny mirror of time

Death of the king

"Divinity"

"Divinity"


Last day brings the grace
For bearers of forbidden name
Step into five fold mace
As son as father in a frame

[Chorus:]
Someday fire wipes the rain
Fears are frozen tears whisper
Things that no one hears
Cry now, cry now for me again
Tomorrows pride and pain
Why you kneel before my name

Crushing my belief
And make shape to my relief
For who you set your prayers
I can't hear them anyway

[Chorus]

"Drifting Memories"

"Drifting Memories"


How does it feel
Blessed to receive
Be modest and forgiving
How does it feel
You can try to hate me
But you're only hurting yourself

[Chorus:]
Drifting in your shady memories
Where to go when sorrow breeds
Let the fear run through
Breath in black and stifling air
All those words they disappear
No need to rest it's too early to die

You don't have to say
Why rue for that day
When you've open up your eyes again
Now it's your fate
Face your heart ache
You wish to make it unreal

[Chorus]

"Drowned Maid"

"Drowned Maid"



I went to wash at the shore
I went to bathe in the sea
And there I, a hen, was lost

I, a bird
Untimely died
Let not my brother
Ever in this world
Water his war-horse
Upon the seashore!

Waters of the sea
So much blood of mine
Fishes of the sea
So much flesh of mine

Such the death of the young maid
End of the fair little hen

"Elegy"

"Elegy"



Long evenings full on longing
Low-spirited my mornings
Full of longing too my nights
And all times the bitterest.
'Tis my lovely I long for
It is my darling I miss
My black-browed one I grieve for.

Beneath the grass my treasure
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my treasure
Under the sand my sweet one

There's no hearing my treasure
No seeing my marten-breat
No hearing her in the lane
Driving below the window
Chopping the wood by the stack
Clinking outside the cook-house
In the earth my berry lies

Beneath the grass my treasure
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my treasure
Under the sand my sweet one

Long evenings full on longing
Low-spirited my mornings
Full of longing too my nights
And all times the bitterest.

There's no hearing my treasure
No seeing my marten-breat
No hearing her in the lane
Driving below the window
Chopping the wood by the stack
Clinking outside the cook-house
In the earth my berry lies

In the soil she's mouldering
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my treasure
The one I grieve for.

"Empty Opening"

"Empty Opening"



A beautiful day when it's over
Clouds high up in the sky
A beautiful day when it's over
Nobody will bury me

In this wicked world the war I live
In this wicked world to war I go
Here's my good life, the best I ever have
How did I get here?

Beautiful yard, trees up against the sky
There is an empty opening
They only live for one summer
This world is too good for me
