1. On The Inside
Diadem - On the Inside
Consumed from within, run until we die. A sorrow filled life once more. Welcome blackness: allow my entrance through cavernous halls to find the wounds. In the blaze of serenity through endless flames for nothing. In this dark twisted fight: freedom of fame, freedom of light. A trip inside a soul: a rich onslaught of lies. I can see your holes from the inside. A trip outside a soul (a wonderful disguise). Bleeding hearts behind undetected lies. I can see your holes. I can see your lies.
2. Salvation
Diadem - Salvation
Hidden by the night, he had been laying there for no one knows how long. His wounds a reflection of his broken hopes (his bones showed his soul). He was crushed to pieces until the day he died, but his tale was not forgotten. His spirit will live forever in the air, tainted by his love. Once sent on a quest for salvation he left his home in grief. All he claimed to be his own was left behind. He set out from our town determined to change our lives. Tastes of Hell rotting everything inside, on his quest for salvation that would never end. A warrior dying for his land springs forth a hero once reborn to save the people from decay, but it is sad, sometimes he fails. Sometimes all is lost. Take me the dead back from their home. An army long gone in life, sentenced to death. Called back on this ride for freedom, called back to fight. Unspeakable lust he couldn’t let out tortured his fathered soul. Days turned to weeks and years, it was all an endless autumn’s night. We knew it was real on the night he fell screaming “Misery, why are you so nice to me?” Caught in his own madness he withered away; nothing more. The village was lost, taken by disease for the hero was no more. Sometimes I can’t believe what pushes man to bravery. Why did he even try? All was already lost.
3. Silence of God
Diadem - Silence of God
Come to me, let’s go up high to shaded skies. In the worst of pains where is He? DEITY? Cry, the freaks we fly in a time of poison. Why, we ask up high, just for the chosen? Lost in a dark shadowland wandering through endless time, please let pain decease. We can not take it anymore. Blame, he’s not to blame. Who really is? Silence of the Gods we know, waiting for the tears to flow.
4. Reflections of My Soul
Diadem - Reflections of My Soul
I’ve won with myself, now there is no more. I’ve crushed the pain and beaten the stars back to the skies where they belong: in heaven. Spent so much time in solitude, but now that is done, now I’m free. Our souls will no longer be in your grasp. The sun will set us free, free from the wrath of oppressive gods. I’ve followed far too long, but no one knows the answer, no one knows there is none. And I know what you say means nothing for us. It is just a reflection of your ashen soul. I am sick of your wasted lies, no longer do they mean anything. Now, and so I’ve depressed all this land in search of good ways and good friends, and on my journey home I realize there is no one else… In the end our souls belong to us, so lush and full of pain. In the end our battles will die and our swords will lay to rest.
5. Lost Spring (Interlude)
6. Will-O´-the-Wisp
Diadem - Will-o'-the-Wisp
Storms they rise bringing sorrow to us all. It is sad how the rain brings me joy. Where would I be without my sadness? Lost in the deepest shades of gray. Winter nights feed imagination. Not a care left for happiness. Standing alone on the mountainside begging for the sound of crying tears from the sky. The arrival was to blame, a taste of all your fears. By chance hiding in your veins, shining in your unshed tears. Every apparition comes at the sound of the siren, gliding through the night, answering the call of the Will-O’-the-Wisp. It’s coming here, the lights are glowing like the fires in my heart, glowing like the fires… The arrival of destiny that I once foretold is taking back his ecstasy. Now the air hurts to breathe. Now the air, it hurts to breathe: like razors in my throat. Covered in blood, she is crying. Sinking to her knees she shrieks in agony. A hint of guilt in my tone (there is no more time for remorse). There is no more. Rotting matter in the earth, running water a darkened shrine. A pale nightmare in the sky, floating in air, it is coming closer. I wipe the blood from me and cut it in two. I wipe the blood from me and give it to you...you… Take me away from the violence I can not control. The lights filled me, took my body which took her soul. It’s coming here, the lights are glowing like the fires in my heart, glowing like the fires…
7. Theory of a Lost One
Diadem - Theory of a Lost One
In a garden which bred warriors, our hero fell into his place in time. Roaming free across the borders, fighting the shadow where it came. There is nothing left to do: the theory of the lost one. Now our hero holds his head up high foretelling the end of a gruesome lie. He knows it is over, he knows it is gone. He wears the fires and ends the dawns…
8. The Walls of Asgard
Diadem - The Walls of Asgard
In your house I see the white stairs and an empty window at the end. Shards pierce my dreams as I try not to fall out. In your memories I see where you are coming from. It’s in your side, this frame I realize. It’s all inside, this pain I see inside. In your arms I see the feather caressing my happiness with empty hands. With the power to hold on and the power to let go, faltering fingers let me go. Hide me away in Asgard, where protection was forged in greed. Lay the last stones tomorrow when the seasons begin to fade. Now the gods are saved from the wrath of the giants. An insatiable lust for pain it was seen long ago in a carbon coated lie, which demanded perfection. Horrid selfish trickery ALL FOR GREED. Now the time has come: it was not supposed to work. Innocent lust of an animal...
9. Crimson Sunset
Diadem - Crimson Sunset
Separated from all these faces, a world is ours where everything is fake, and no one sees the holes inside of me. I’ll show you to your empty void. I have waited my whole life for this. We can not begin to see inside this home of lies. Nothing is real, nothing is true, but the emptiness (it never lets me down). It is all I’ve ever known, all I’ve ever wanted. Nothing but emptiness in me… All they say that is left in me, I can not even hear it. Don’t you leave me. I’ll take you there, where no one sees tomorrow. An empty air, with lifeless eyes of sorrow. In your void, never again to rest. I’ll take you there, where no one sees tomorrow. Like broken cars in morning dew, in a tremor of mist (a fake world). Lush blackened leaves, floating in midair, are surrounding an even darker morning. A castle of flesh writhing in pain. Wide opens wounds like windows are giving way to a crimson sunset. I can see it: the morning is almost over. It is almost over, the last drop has been shed. The crimson sun fell from the sky. Replaced with nocturnal glows, the once metaphorical darkness is now only a reality. I’m so lost with it… Nothing but emptiness in me.
