Oh, come to me, my dear In the name of dark powers and our love You shall live again Awaken now, I order you, rise! Impero spiritus mortis a umbris te resurgere! Are you the one who danced like a fool, Barefoot trampled the gate to my realm, And broke the silence of my marble halls, Are you the one?! Yes, yes, it’s me Can you not see Your widow’s face That sorrow has robbed of beauty and grace? I’ve longed for you Oh, for so long, Waiting for nothing but the Hell to take me Through the winter nights and summer mornings These tears I’ve wept Signs of my sins Yes, now I can see The glow in your eyes, the poisoned remedy You have eaten too much fruit stolen from Paradise Days without your light Nights full of deadly sorrow This all I had to bear I’d drink my blood Throw my heart into the flames And devour the nest of my anxiousness Yes, very well, I remember those nights lavishing of lies and foolish fantasies, I’ve drunk the cup of love with my bane, Go away! By no means, I don’t want your flowers lying on my grave... Forgive me for what I have done That I have been the one Who ended your days with such a pain… I beg no more for light I want to dream in your arms in deep sleep As I used to do I’m giving you all Come back to life Or kill me Tear me apart Do as you like and love me Come with me, then, Sacrifice your pain on my altar, Step from the world of shadows And enter the kingdom of never-ending darkness. I’ll take you there... But what is this I find? Who are you? For I see now You’re no man of mine! No! You liar! You deceiver! Let me go! Neither the man you have killed, you fool, Nor any one of your miserable breed. I am Death, the only master of eternity, And you are mine. No hope left now guiding my path No way to flee my fate I shall stay buried in your realm I will not beg, nor will I cry After all I have done, I deserve to die And the flowers lying and withering on my grave Will remain the last signs of my sins.

Angel 04:20
lyrics

Silence, I hear them coming They are whispering in my head again, again and again, again and again… Funny, isn’t it? Don’t you feel it? The wave from your stomach… a bit nauseating? Laugh! They say to me Laugh! It’s not too hard Laugh and love and think That the world is a paradise I have known my fears They crept from under my bed I’ve heard so much words And let them fall in vain! Angels, do they still dream of my soul or at last give up their fruitless hope My kingdom is not of this world but I’ve lost the star to lead me home Do you doom me? Or should I search a path away? Why can’t I understand this earthy circus’ play? The star has fallen and the sky’s darkened in the east Why do you think, you fools, that the angels laugh? Angels, do they still dream of my soul or at last give up their fruitless hope My kingdom is not of this world but I’ve lost the star to lead me home Laugh! Spit to my face! Laugh! Tears wouldn’t fall Laugh and hate and think That you are possibly more than I I would need just one way How to end with all this... crap! Angels, do you hear me? I can’t go back... Angels do they still dream of my soul or at last give up their fruitless hope My kingdom is not of this world but I’ve lost the star to lead me home

Guiding Star 05:41

Close your eyes, Prepare to lose, Your life dies Whatever you choose, Never really did they care about who we are. One step out Towards the unknown We all doubt You are not alone One day your dreams will lead you far… Let them shine Brighter than ever As the sign Of our endeavour To find the place where the pain can be relieved Memory, That is the secret, Not to flee Even if you regret What you have done, what you have said, how you have lived… Ref: See who you are, Become who you´ve always been, Follow the path to lead you home; Search through the sky to find your guiding star That will show you the way to the place you belong Try to wake Stand up and fight Don’t let them break Into your mind Now it is time to face your deepest woe and fear Finally The moment has come For you to see What you become At the end all you’ve ever been will disappear Ref. See who you are, Become who you´ve always been, Follow the path to lead you home; Search through the sky to find your guiding star That will show you the way to the place all your dreams now belong Memory, That is the secret Not to flee Even if you regret What you have done, what you have said, how you have lived… Ref.

Pilgrim 05:46

With you, my guide, staring to the sun through the marshes, rivers, hills, through the misty seas, through the memories, there my way leads! With you, my desire, I turned to ice, into snow, but the sun, the fire brought me woe I’ve wept myself to the ground in its holes little I found of my paradise I’m not the one you believed in, I’m not the one you hoped I’m not the one who’s born in awe trying to reach, still failing to find the life I once dreamt about Ref.: Serpents’ seeker, ravens’ master, bear the mighty and the wolf’s kin the fox on the heaths, the hawk under the skies, that’s what I have been, that’s what I have lost Take me where I belong, take me where I could rest, take me where I’d find myself, take me where all starts and ends With you, my sorrow, I grew up high, grew up tall, mourning willow awaiting the fall... they brought me down, cut off my head, the blazing stake should be the bed I have longed for I’m not the one I believed in, I’m not the one I hoped I’m not the one who’s born in awe trying to reach, still failing to find the life I once dreamt about Ref. Serpents’ seeker! Ravens’ master! To ashes burnt, my fate, when dawn comes, will we lie and I ask if it’s too late or should we try? Once again, hand in hand to find our place on this land That’s what I ask... With you, my guide, staring to the sun through the marshes, rivers, hills, through the misty seas, through the memories, there our way leads!

Voiceless Flute 05:23
lyrics

Every time I cry, I cry for my sins, You sing this bitter song With me… My aid, my sorrow, Give me your wisdom, Your tunes are blessed by stellar sky… Coming from dead calm, I hear that sound growing Distress reigns here in my heart… Beloved music Killing me softly And no flowers on my grave… Thundering horns in my head Screaming violins of my mind I’ve heard so much in my life But in the end, I’m just one… …voiceless flute. These tears of mine Frozen on my lips I’m only whispering the words of grace… Sing me the song Song of the beauty That I have heard on this world… Thundering horns in my head Screaming violins of my mind I’ve heard so much in my life But in the end, I’m just one… …voiceless flute. My music, my wishes, Everything I’ve lost Could be balanced by one breath… Dark drums in the depths of my heart Sweetest harps of my love That once have shown me the way But in the end I become… …a voiceless flute. I’ll keep it deep in my soul, I’ll save it for the days to come… My voice of flute…

Trollbound 06:03

Now listen to me, my friends, warriors and knights from the distant lands! The twilight is drawing near, we have to set forth now! With grief our road may be paved it is though your queen’s word that the reward goes to the one who pierces the troll with his sword. Come, oh, come to me if you dare, I will give you fame, gold and pain, I will not spare! The stars are guiding our steps the bloodlust seeks its way out of our souls Forth, my dears, we will hunt him until the first light comes! Be brave, show him no mercy, believe me, I know his heart, if you are not the one to strike, you are the one to die! Come, oh, come to me if you dare, I will give you fame, gold and pain, I will not spare! Marching on and on through the sacred land we used to share now the war cry sounds, your blood the ground must bear, beat the beast, fight your foe, before it’s too late... So be it! Your queen’s trollblood will once more soak into mine and we will lie together as long ago we did on our bridal bed, when the days were young and this story hasn’t yet been told. The love might be strong, but our fate is to live the tale. Marching on and on through the sacred land we used to share, now the war cry sounds, your blood the ground must bear, Marching on and on through the sacred land we used to share, I feel you falling apart, a story to be born... From the world of neverseen, of fantasies and dreams...

Where the Wolves Are 05:02
lyrics

You come to this world as a lamb you know nothing about the role that you have been given in this terrible play will you be the hunter or the prey? Welcome, my child, Please look into my eyes I want to be delighted by your light Falling from the grace/Come to my embrace carrying angels’ face So you’re here... I really wonder why such a goodness came to my heart Once, we were all good... sons and daughters of happiness but the day when our Lord told us: Go! we got lost in the paradise of desire... Now close your eyes, let me lead you through the loneliness of our time Please, don ’t cry, I’ll take you home, I promise, I will show you where the wolves are... Come, come here, my angel, under my shield, don’t worry, I will take care of you, I’ll pray for your innocence, I’ll be your guardian... Forget the light of the sun and the silver moon there are no stars for the cursed One day maybe you’ll understand / Come to me! That all what I have / Belong to me! done... / dance for me! I did for you / Feel for me! Dance with us through the night Warm our souls and fill your heart with cold desire Hunting howl of hungry wolves piercing the dark shows what we are.

Lost Grace 06:45

Once so lost in the other’s dream The last of those who have found the key Sailing home down, down this stream I will be the last one to flee… If I, oh I were that stream my waves would caress this land in sheen… Wounds of the past will never more heal But for a cure I would sell my soul Soul of loneliness, heart of fear, In awaiting for the morrow… If I, oh, I had that soul I would sell my love of a black widow… I see a knight bowing to his queen, A tear is falling from her eye Our song is calling, calling for the never seen Don’t you hear your enemies’ cry? If I could sing that song of death I would sound for it till my last breath I’ve known the love, the hate, the sorrow, All the diseases of my kin Now please relieve me from morrow, Let me pay for my sin… If I, oh, I could only pray, I would turn and I would just say… If I, oh I, if I’m born one more time… I shall try to find my lost grace Neither by sword nor by flame But in you, in my prayers… My love, forgive the stream, the soul, the sin Let your memory live deep within… My love, forgive the stream, the soul, the sin Let your memory live deep within… My love, forgive the stream, the soul, the sin Let your memory live deep within… My love, forgive the stream, the soul, the sin Let our memory live deep within…

I’ve been here Since the time Still I hear Your stupid whine Anger, hate, fear, You feed me well Every your tear Opens the Hell Behold my power Behold my will Behold my fire Feel the fear! God you call? Where is he? Did he fall? Tell me whether He’s here been, I was never Interested in I’m more your Lord The one who rules With every sword That ends the youth! God you call? Where is he? Did he fall? Black powder trying? That is nice! More are dying I’m pleased twice! God you call? Where is he? Did he fall? Could it be?… The Sins are seven And the Faith is a cell Now march to heaven With the banner of Hell!

Evening falls Angels dream Of that snow-whitest soul Knights, little dolls Starlit cream Everything far below Sleep, my son, For now, everything is done Smile on that face Calm and deep Never seen by a man Untouched grace Heavens weep And I do with them Sleep, my child, In peace, my heavenless pride Sleep, my child, In peace, my heavenless pride
