Embers of the Way 04:51
lyrics
buy track
The light of day sewed up my sins The needle craves for the touch of grieve We're born to be the best we can The worst we've been In time we're all redeemed Embers of the way A beacon in disgrace Overcome the fall For time forgives it all Forsaken human scraps shape my flesh From the mistakes you made How come is me who is blamed for this? A stitch of pain that never heals I can take the lies of yours, the shame But not the hope that never was and never will Embers of the way A beacon in disgrace Overcome the fall For time forgives it all

Gate of the Sun 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Unearth the horns keen and bold Daring deeds caving in Threads glow in heat, flaming seeds Come to blows blood is gold Gate of the sun Can´t come undone Gate of the sun Can´t come undone Gate of the sun Can´t come undone Gate of the sun Over and over Release the storm, target locked Aim for more, cast the worms No more retreat from those here to feast Raging bones, fearless jaws Gate of the sun Can´t come undone Gate of the sun Can´t come undone Gate of the sun Can´t come undone Gate of the sun Over and over Fault of the land Think of who we are and what´s become The line´s too blurred to trust Out in the sun bear our lifeless hearts to a new brighter dawn

Keep the Cellar Sealed 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Tonight the lights will blink again Shy attempts to restrain Hollow shells of pain Can hear it knocking Calling me by name In control it won´t escape Held it back for far too long Is that me? Is my mind clean? But the beast is tamed while awake Chains of smoke Mirror stained Pushed down to a corner I embrace myself to take in the strain Think I lost the handle I´m afraid the demons are left Insanity is sometimes an option for me Though am I the one deciding here? Just keep the cellar sealed The monster´s out to reap in me Unbridled long ago Bursting out and pouring blood Ascend into the world Bursting out to take control Just keep the cellar sealed The monster´s out to reap in me Just keep the cellar sealed The monster´s out to reap in me Try not to tame the beast Cut it loose to roam free Blood enraged drills the ears Fire and scorch burnt out of fear Drain the skull, fill it with tears Pity the fool, king of the deers I will peacefully lock the cellar from within

Something New 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Taketh for the low Where sighs are hanging to taste the sour fall Of an unwanted sooth (desire that haunts me) Dwelling on the thorns You know We must pull through This ties won´t break for something new This ties will stand for something true Blame me for the loss Split the heart in two Fire and behold How quickly lies come through Cash in what you’re owed Feeling deranged and used This ties won´t break for something new This ties will stand for something true This ties wont´t break, for doubt is fading out again This ties will stand for something true You can take it I can´t take it This ties won´t break for something new This ties will stand for something true Fire and behold Something new will come

Becoming Storms 05:01
lyrics

Can you hear the thunder that´s coming our way? Pounding every unbroken stone Do you fear the lightning that´s over our heads? Shining on the sins foretold Shining on the sins foretold Shining on the sins foretold along Shining on the sins, our sins foretold Compensate the words For what is worth The signs will show you in For all the creatures that crawl on her skin The lizard bit his tongue Confess the coward, forget to forgive Oh home, sweet toxic home Oh home, sweet toxic home Oh home, sweet toxic home How long our home, sweet toxic home´s been gone? Compensate the words For what is worth The signs will show you in Fight the wars of today Far from over, derailed Seize your luck, break the chain Let the words float away

Sick Love Enemy 03:36
lyrics
buy track
The struggle´s gone too far The garden´s tainted now Your makeup cracked Your fable broke apart Sick love enemy Feverish panic sting Hiding in the trees Fleeing to break free If fear ain´t love No drop of blood Will cleanse you in the children´s eyes A knife won´t cut A stab won´t slash A prayer won´t last A cry won´t hide the fear A fear that pushes under Sick love enemy Feverish panic sting Hiding in the trees Fleeing to break free Cross through the gates to heal Has come the time Nevermore the tides will drown you

Outer Limits 07:01
lyrics
buy track
It is quiet out here But there's noone left to hear Is it silent is it loud? Broken silence with a useless sound Adrift into the unknown Cold death all around Something shines far away in solitude Doesn’t matter now the time, In this endless night of countless lights Heading through years and through time, So reach the limits to the past Afraid of the emptiness Approaching the outer edge Calm down Let it Come down Let go Embraced by the darkest cloak Made for all those ancient gods Whom rule the worlds from above There they are, upon this shadow vault Doesn’t matter how it will end, Doesn’t matter now, will not matter then Of all the fears, the worst, the wait For all those tears they’re lost its fate To find a sun of thousand miles To seek a path beyond the stars Calm down Calm down Let it Come down Let go

Autumn Scars 06:30
lyrics
buy track
All scapes out from within Turns the sky in shades of grey Leaves lying dead on down the stairs Drizzle makes the air stale Life´s a moving stream of time to no avail The clouds and the waves sway in a reverie of grace The spring has died and the summer´s gone Then life will cease to spread Skies of coal they hide the sun and make the hearts grow cold and out of grasp Promise me nothing is real While the autumn scars they tear the wounds that will heal in the sun Thoughts swirl like in waterspouts Wiggling ´round in haunting clouds Those startled perish first Pray to something if something´s there Wake in the haze of a dream Of crashing snow from the trees Loudly the seas will recede Take off something add some more Heaven falls in rain drops Count down the scars From the face of the land Is a fever that boils Given in to the rift Life´s a moving stream of time to no avail The clouds and the waves sway in a reverie of grace The spring has died and the summer´s gone Then life will cease to spread its wings to prevail Skies of coal they hide the sun and make the hearts grow cold and out of grasp Promise me nothing is real While the autumn scars, you know The winds defile the world Vultures and flies Carriers of death A feast in their eyes A poem unread And life will crown death and its hounds Now that the sun is blind The sun is blind Skies of coal they hide the sun and make the hearts grow cold and out of grasp Promise me nothing is real While the autumn scars, you know Skies of coal they hide the sun Skies of coal bring autumn scars

Trails of Gold 05:20
lyrics
buy track
Outside from the pain, in the valley of domes I roam down its hills where the river does flow The spores of the trees disappeared long ago Caressing my knees as the taste fills my tongue And I can´t recall her name Her gown hides its truth from my hands Whisper and sing to me Fade into seeds, heaven´s beneath Your love´s as refined as gasoline Combustion to soothe what you please Your love is as flamable as me All doors to the shrine opened up in a moan One slice of the heart beating throughout its walls One step for the skies at the presence of god Deeper under the floor Cave in through pathway holes Outside the breeze went cold Whisper and sing to me A tune that reminds me of bliss Your love´s as refined as gasoline Combustion to soothe what you please Your love´s as refined as gasoline Your love is as dangerous as me Trails to follow down Trails to carry out Trails to be found Blame the restless mouths Hide your love I´m your slave for now Let me dig through your treasures proud

Drown in Waterfalls 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Living makes it hard to breathe Inner voices gather still Disconnect from this cosmic dread Flashing fire spots relay Sinking in this hopeless state But I need something that has been lost Water’s falling through the night Undiscovered by the light Waterfalls Moonlight calls This illusion is deceit Desperation a disease Will you miss me when I am gone? Water’s drainning off the mind Into ponds beneath the eyes Water’s drawn Dried out hull Before the final step Reach to release my faith Take me in

Ashen Groves 00:59

It´s been so long The light is here to take me home To pray or run One instance to realize it all Burning white all around torches my bones There´s a voice urging me to let go Afraid of none So this is it, I´m one with all

Emergence 06:40
lyrics
buy track
In the threshold of enlightenment, an entangled mind Living all there is to live in an instance of time ´cause all arise from sparks and strings and gaps The absolute falls apart as layers peeled away reveal the past Children of causality Madden through infinity Odds define reality When odds are all there is I have seen words of hope become ashen groves For this dream to live on the veil must roll off Dreams dream dreams Light hide me In its purest form light is dark As the veil rolls off the fabric cracks Through a fog made whole Through eons to come Ice and fire Know it all Endless I shall become Dreams dream dreams Light hide me In its purest form light is dark As the veil rolls off the fabric cracks Through a fog made whole For eons to come Let me jump from now Contemplate the when in where the truth belongs
