1. I, Decline

I've seen the winds while turning to storms
Beauty and tempest entwined
In my hands I keep sand and dust
Silently (they) witness the fall of empires

Tell me, why do we long for the stars?
Tell me if every dream of men is destined to an end
Why do we long for the stars?
Tell me if it is for they guide us in the night

I've crossed lands where splendour used to dwell
Found out decline came before
Seen ruins instead of marble halls
(And) golden thrones, the legacy of those days
Wrought with dreams ceased to be

Tell me, why do we long for the stars?
Tell me if every dream of men is destined to an end
Why do we long for the stars?
Tell me if it is for they guide us in the night

2. The Wreck Of Hope

Lost inside this lonely ship
Heard the call of the sea
Nothing but a will to see
The seducing path of the Unseen

Gone astray by wandering
Lonely shepherd of dreams
I long for the poetry
Of lands where time itself got still

The wreck of hope...
The wreck of hope...

The wreck of hope...

I've crossed the oceans of time and space
Gone beyond the lands of men

Landscapes drawn by higher hands
Hurl me down beautitude
It is for "where pure grace ends,
The awe of the sublime begins"

As I float away I think:
"At last I became king,
A bunch of stars over me,
(An) infinite wilderness beneath"

The wreck of hope...

I've crossed the oceans of time and space
Gone beyond the lands of men

3. Forsaken Dreams

Can't conceal
My growing thirst
For reveries to come

Like the rain
That fails to fall
I'm trapped in distant skies

Could I ever
Reach the source
Of the awe-inspiring myth

When the rain
Colossally falls
Memories dead and gone

Follow me
As I will follow you
On a path ending up
Where the dreams
Lie forsaken

Can't elude
Echoes of wonder
Reverberating deep

Recollecting
Shards of dreams
I'll leave the grey behind

Will I ever
Leave this region
Of fainting promises

Walk about
Millennia-shaped trails...

4. Love Among The Ruins

Past tales of awe
Drive us to love
Among the ruins
The stellar vault
As only witness

Cast about for harmony
Hold on to the stars above
Cast about for harmony
We may

Feel the elements now
As conspire with the traces
Of a past that's set to relive
In our unquiet dreams

Past tales of awe
Drive us to love
Among the ruins
The stellar vault
As only witness

Cast about for harmony
Hold on to the stars above
Cast about for harmony
We may

Among gardens where
the tall pillars of grace once stood
We got lost, so to feel
That on aeon's walls we dwell

5. Icons In A Wasteland

Temples shall fall apart
As only legacy of times come
With every kind of gift

Shall we be there to see
As emblem of an age of decay
Icons in a wasteland

Divine earth scenery
Shall grow into
Desert fields withered
By the strife of eras

By the doors of decline
What shall be left of
Such a wondrous
Age of unbound beauty

6. Elegy Of The Restless

For every tear that falls
Elegy of the restless
What has been is no more
Elegy of the restless

For every dream untold
Elegy of the restless
What I've been I'm no more
Elegy of the restless

As a path's over
Another's yet
To be chosen for a while

(The) rhymes I wrote
Once on melancholy sands
Are echoed by the stars

For every tear that falls
Elegy of the restless
What has been is no more
Elegy of the restless

For every dream untold
Elegy of the restless
What I've been I'm no more
Elegy of the restless

Can you hear a melody
Coming from the shores of oblivion

It's the same as the one
That comes from within
Entwined with my verse

7. Deep Space Confine

8. Downfall Of The Ancients

By ageless voices
Rises seduction again
Of a world that sinks
There's plenty for you to sing

A restless chorus
Set to retrace all the pain
Into remembrance
See the old sun fade away

Have the ancient ones
Ever talked to you
Let the ancients' voice
Talk to you once more

(The) downfall of ancients
Could not hush forlorn dreams up
Of beauty unending
Yearned we have and always will

By scattered ruins then
Decadence has tuned my lyre
For me to create
Hymns to adorn its abode

Have the ancient ones
Ever talked to you
Let the ancients' voice
Talk to you once more

9. Of Beauty And Tempest

Torn by bleak winds
I cannot seize
The memories are
The ones that keep
Visions of splendour and decay

Behold them as messengers
Of sorrow born of bliss
For lands once beautiful
Were taken by the storm

Made of clay
Are the dreams
I pave my own way with
Like the ruins
Of the world before
Being swept away

Through solitude they'll decay
To dust degenerate
For winds to rule supreme
'Til a new dawn begins
