2. A Circle In The Ice

Far from home I chase a dream
The child inside awakens
New perspectives lay one step ahead...

All the sudden turns in life sometimes
They blind all hope and leave you broken
Shifting winds brought union here...

The road laid before us runs for endless miles
The pull's ever-stronger, it ain't that away
Voices and cheers blend with the call of my heart
We are just what we are...

We're a circle in the ice...

Long-awaited days they fade
The past is cast into oblivion
Places, faces fill my memories...

I knew every day the dream would call
Now every night it shapes around me
A thousands hearts that beat as they were one

Like a circle in the ice...

As I stand alone, my inmost thoughts coil back home
Sanctuary of strength, I feel your embrace...

Voices and cheers drown the beat of my heart
Tonight our flame's alive...

We're a circle in the ice...

3. Kingdom Of Thyne Illusions

Another dawn tolls the hour
I'm still a prey on my mind
Within this empty kingdom I'll drown...
Dancing imps, magic tricks, seducing my eyes
Mindless charade parades in the dark...

(Courage...)
Trust a pure heart
(Borders...)
And choose you path
((Naiads...)
Through springs born of honest tears
Find question marks and answers...

Worlds of shadows and colliding
Night/Day twisting my real anew
Kingdom, entropic work of sadness
High Fate lies subdued...

Tick-tack tick-tack
The sublime hour has gone
Feasting on memories, lone I'll atone...
Wandering shades, harlequins, stray fragments of life
Sweetly torment a bleeding heart...

Worlds of shadows and colliding
Night/Day twisting my real anew
Kingdom, entropic work of sadness
High Fate lies subdued...

Textures warped amid past and future
Hours frozen in timeless stream
Kingdom, gate to my real illusions
Life/Death, Coin's perpetual turn...

(Courage...)
Trust a pure heart
(Borders...)
And choose you path
Walk on through it all
Until your kingdom falls...

4. Quantum Leap

Not far there lies a future, we're reaching an end
A breakthrough in culture, religion and self...
Don't fall to the illusion, the world's about to change
Behind the curtain, light is flooding the stage
Crossing the gates of our minds
Spreading towards all the Suns...

Light, awaken inside us
Breath of mankind's mind's I
Tide of love overwhelming
Chord of blessed truth divine
At the dawn of the new morn
We'll shed our fears
Open our hearts and dance...

Collective awareness means identity
A new order's beginning, abandon yourself and be free...

Trust, road's been paved for us all
Feel, love is stirring our souls
Energy's building inside, matter and spirit unite...

Light, awaken inside us
Breath of mankind's mind's I
Tide of love overwhelming
Chord of blessed truth divine
At the dawn of the new morn
We'll shed our fears
Open our hearts and dance...

Join in the dance of infinite wisdom
Leap to a new age and rejoice...

5. ExtraWorld

A million lights being shaded on our lives
Only a dream, but far in time I've seen
An ancient secret lost to man's recall
Spilled the sands of time, there comes release...

A great deceiving, spreading our disease
Born of shadows, veiling truth, watching
Deepest feelings trapped and torn apart
Luminous sparks waiting to be free...

Soul surrender to the eternal flow
Celebration of Becoming
Blooming flowers bathing in the glory
Of the New Dawn...

(Into the ExtraWorld)

Close your eyes, perceive the world inside
Let it be the real thing
White the silence all about, ripe of chance
Leave the past, trust the holy Word
Present calls, just let it be and free your soul...
ExtraWorld, always known
Without time, without space
We'll be free...

Long;s the journey to the golden spring,
Lore supreme, there we shall know perfection
Bringing balance to our wounded lives
Colors we'll shed on our lives...

Roots run deep, we're alive
Make infinite bright, love eternal...

Time has come, rejoice and join the dance
Celebration of Becoming
Grain of sand united on the shores
Of Universe...

(Into the ExtraWorld)

Close your eyes, perceive the world inside
Let it be the real thing
White the silence all about, ripe of chance
Leave the past, trust the holy Word
Present calls, just let it be and free your soul...
ExtraWorld, always known
Without time, without space
We'll be free...

Close your eyes, perceive the world inside
Let it be the real thing
White the silence all about, ripe of chance
Leave the past, trust the holy Word
Present calls, just let it be and free your soul...
ExtraWorld, always known
Without time, without space
We'll be free...

6. White Logic

Aware of your beauty,
You lived liked a silent wraith
Treading on fields of sorrow
Carving your own path, have you gone astray...
Bringer of my light, begot of that same light
Giving in to the dark starless night, Godless night...
Aware of your beauty,
Yet envious of Heaven's Grace
You longed for more
All-consuming hunger raped your soul...

"...He had of me
All he could have; I made him just and right,
Sufficient to have stood, though free to fall."
– John Milton, Paradise Lost (Book III, 97-99)

Endless love wrought malice, dealt woe to my life
Blinding logic white
I should have stood and praised Him, basked in his light
But my dreams were set too high
No place for repentance, no pardon I'll find
Blessed be eternal night
Crowned in pride I fell, in torment I'd rise
All hope's lost, and thus Grace Divine...

Oblivious to my love.
You sowed hearts with your black seeds
Tainting the weakest flowers
Spreading rebellion, thus me to defy...
Oblivious to my love, the gift I bestowed on you,
You spit upon
Prime among my angels, first to fall...

"The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n."
– John Milton, Paradise Lost (Book I. 254-255)

Endless love wrought malice, dealt woe to my life
Blinding logic white
Better to reign in Hell, forsaken by Light
Then to serve God's Heaven's might...

Claiming rule supreme, I renounced the Sun
I'll yield not, I shall not bow
Won't I bend my will

Endless love wrought malice, dealt woe to my life
Blinding logic white
Fields of joy, farewell, we won't be reconciled
Hell's gate open wide
Sworn to pervert goodness, oh grievous delight...
He shall feel my logic
Cold white logic
Blinding logic white...

7. Memoirs Of The Abyss

Who are you? "The poor son of my mother..."
Who are you? "A man of sorrows on his way through life..."
How tragic, the vision's sapped into darkness
Who are you? Why seek thou wisdom here?
In the bowels of the great Stygian Abyss...

Despair...

We mourned a knight, his dream, our doom
On the day he passed away...
These halls remember days, days before the fall
Days of glorious hope, of unity fulfilled, seemingly so real...

Without him, collapse of civilization...
Forgotten, our memory sealed within
To die with the last of our kind...

Long years have been passing by
A scattered few survive
Though at loss, the old ideals we strive upon
Splendor's gone, the dream's no more, our Sun is stone
Virtues High, through endless night, cast forth their light...

Be welcome...
Accept the cup of oblivion...

8. The Watchtower (A Dream Of Chivalry...)

Betrayed by my blood
Born under northern skies
Of love deprived...
An unknown fear's in me
Voice of the nameless fate I bear within...

Crying out into the wind...
Black was the day, White the night
Thus all did begin...

Beyond hate and love
Burdened by memories
My essence bleeds...

Years go by, my brothers ride
Their shadow upon my life
Sadness, cruel mate to their waste...

I dreamed of the Glory knight
A sun on my childhood
The past shares my grief
When tomorrow comes, may death be fulfilled...
Through the summer's and winter's reigns
Through the gates of time, away...
Grapes and earth, the tolling of a bell
And that tree of fire
Hate...

Black and white clash, fear has gone, I'll live...

The last veil fell from my eyes
I'm my own horizon...
Through the summer's and winter's reigns
Through the gates of time, away
I raised my sword and carved a path to when...
A time...

Through the summer's and winter's reigns
Through the gates of time, away...
Evil, goodness, virtues I once praised
I've killed, it's my own fate...

9. Dissonant Hearts

Out of pitch-black darkness
A lonely dove
Her silhouette on the horizon
Love brings white pale dawn...

Red-blood-stained skies mirror
Our flame within
Oh sweet naivety of youth, we swore
Those skies we'd reach...

Lost in my lone reverie
Many a night I've been waiting
Oh Lady, you would come to me...

Time let us down, witnessed
Our last goodbye
There's a price we all pay
Our prize, longed piece of mind...

Gathering darkness bodes
A dark romance
When the roar shatters still
Hearts will mourn their past chance

Lost in my lone reverie
Many a night I've been waiting
Oh Lady, you would come to me...
I talked to the stars, cursed the moon
White Deceiver
Fair grace haunts my dreams
Cruel silence ails me...

Lost in my lone reverie
Many a night I've been waiting
Oh Lady, you would come to me...
Waned have the stars, and so the moon
White Deceiver
Oblivion engulfed
Our dissonant hearts...

10. Away

Celestial vault, clear ocean of starlight
Thyne is the knowledge, thyne is my life...
Days lost in haze, in thy reckoning shine
My essence, secluded, lies treasured in thee...

Lo! I do not belong here
Empty-handed I pray the distant Cosmos
Take me!
Lo! I do not belong here
Hopelessness in me, what have I become, how?
Eternal grief upon my heart...

Devoid of substance, fulfillment I seek
Though questions of ages bear no release...
Pillars of strength crumble, wisdom is denied
Ours is the failure, as cold as winter ice...

Sunrise is waiting, a promise in his wake
Longed-for unveiling of times long gone by...
Grey spirits roaming, gathered in Limbo,
Thirsting for life we lose ourselves...
And I...

Lo! Dawn is getting closer
A thousand suns ablaze, such is my reflection
I'll live!
Lo! Dawn is getting closer
Rising up in flames, vestige of my sadness
A frail memory...

Lo! I do not belong here
Dubious whispers die, shrinking into darkness
Lulled by the breeze I'm away...
I'm away...
