1. Strengthened Are the Stems of Nasturtium
Forging your spears with blood from our hearts,
scorning not lust but derision
Which mission in life shall die in my hands ?
Strong are the stems of Nasturtium
Calling the winds for a knowledge untaught,
which passion shall never disturb thee ?
Which mission in life shall die in my hands ?
Strong are the stems of Nasturtium
2. Sinking Trails of Wisdom
Falling towers were held by arms, but thus as weakness struck its seize,
the jolts of peace were torn apart... (remember men to dwell with roofs)
Building bridges to stand forever, there will be the ones who trail
Floating low or sinking high, there will be the ones who trail.
Redeem the pain that dwells in her, as the end of light beholds you.
Release the hate which dwells within: the coronation of another slave.
3. Absence Spells Beyond...
Eager to break through the next generations, we shall not bitterly fall.
Requesting through vaults of heretic ignition, we shall forever be left.
Soulside replenish, my foremost inherit, we shall not bitterly fall,
reading the backlines by upmost literates, we shall forever be left.
Behind our eyes we seek that grace divine...
Behind our eyes we seek that grace divine... Wherein the seeds of void prevail.
ABSENTIA these sintful chants of dawn now rise: (as) the forging of alliegances in towers now age.
Thou victimized my soul astray... Since the spell was cast by her chaotic breath.
ABSENTIA the ghosts of dawn retained this key as newborn illusions now age and die, rise and fall...
I shall, redeem your life with the mighty seize, with my outstretched hand. With my time in a palm,
yearns in the brightening light: come with me and feel this breath...
Come with me and feel my dried out spirit...
Spiritus in oblivio
Spiritus in absentia
4. Epitaph... (King Crimson cover)
4. Epitaph
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments if death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.
Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.
5. Cry the Way We Greet Our Fates
6. Victorious Men of Earth
Victorious men of earth, come one again
to proclaim how wide your empires are
though you bind in every shore,
and your triumphs reach as far...
...from where it's day to where it's dark.
Devouring famine plaguesn and wars
each able to undo mankind
death servile emmissaries are
nor to these alone confined...
then he had them at his will.
Victorious men of earth
yet you proud monarchs must obey,
and mingle with forgotten ashes when ,
death calls them to the crowd of common men,
we shall become...
Victorious men of earth
More quaint and subtile ways to kill
a smile or kiss, as he will use the art,
the one that craving the foreseen
shall have the skill to break a heart.
7. Omens (Presagios)
8. A Call in the Winds...
9. The Dark Force
10. Last Battle (Tower of Doom)
11. Lost in Natura
12. The Choirs of the Elemental Deities
Marching over the mountain sides of Kiljaarn,
searching for the elemental gods orb,
the mystic object of the mighty power
that will give its invencivility
Silis-Godess of wind
Asron-Master of earth
Asthir-Godess of water
Recom-Master of fire
The mountain of elements stands before me.
Earth, wind and water protect it
from every man who dares climb its peak
as for fate is at its top
powers that the fou gods unite
under the spell of the orb, ar the last hope;
combining the powers of the four elements
with the boldness of the orbposessor
will be the weapon against the dark force
13. Prelude in Dusk
14. Placious Echoes at Darkwoods You Greet... Silvering Moon Between My Shadows
Great force that you created on earth,
fulfilled with your lightning hand...
...of eternal knowledge, pure seed of fertile birth
chained lies death at your side
She who tried to end our deeds
in vain she was proclaimed invict
but from her dark ashes she'll raise her arm
giving her new triumphant deeds again
Weak humanity, raise your fists
place your heads in eternal streams
and be as the brightning fire
to become immortal in its pyre
Placious echoes at darkwoods you greet...
...silvering moon between my shadows
while, melancholical river psalmodies
feed the sun's funeral pyre
Oh sorrow, cruel fellowship
Oh priestess in the vaults of death
Oh sweet & bitter (in a breath)
What whispers from thy lying lip?
'the stars'-she whispers-'blindly run'
as a web is woven across the sky
...from out waste places...
murmurs from our dying sun
...as we cry
...from out waste places, we die...
