4. Making Of Cry For The Moon
5. Cry For The Moon (Demo Version)
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often
Contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against
Don't try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins
Committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes opens reality
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
And the extinguisher loses it's immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of Eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face
You can't go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence
6. Making Of Quietus
7. Quietus (Demo Version)
8. Quietus (Single Version)
The culprit, you act before thinking
Caught in your ignorant sin
And lying to your own reflection,
you thought you could hide
Deprived of my own innocence, denied
The infinity of recurring torment, your comeuppance
See, hear the torture inside
Devouring what was left of my pride
You thought it’s not going to happen to you,
thought you could hide
The infinity of recurring torment, your comeuppance
Dwelling in a mind, mixed up and
Your regret has spread over the sea
9. The Fallacy (Unreleased Track)
I can't stand the way you've forsaken me
I see through the wicked games you've played with me
Do you feel the suspicion stirring up?
Can't you see that they long to give you up?
Can't you come lie with me?
Forget about your fallacy.
Seduce me with your fantasies
Of passion and obscurity
I see that you can't get away with this
You can't wave aside your lies with one more kiss
Do you feel the suspicion stirring up?
Can't you see that they long to give you up?
Can't you come lie with me?
Forget about your fallacy.
Seduce me with your fantasies
Of passion and obscurity
I foresee that you'll be with me
You have seen that I took you back to me
Play with me as I do...
I do with you
I can't stand the way you have forsaken me
I see through the reason of this fallacy
Can't you come lie with me?
Forget about your fallacy.
Seduce me with your fantasies
Of passion and obscurity
Why can't you come lie with me?
Forget about your fallacy.
Seduce me in your wildest dreams
Of passion and conspiracy
10. Interview With Ad On Live Tracks
11. Solitary Ground (Unreleased Live Version)
Living at different places
Evading into various spaces
My compass has broken
I'm losing the way
An ongoing madness has led me astray
My past breathes down my neck
And it seems now that all I can do is
Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead
A fading illusion now plagues me instead
In me there's still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground
I follow elusive paths
Oh, it seems they've been written in stone
And the door to a new life is closing so fast
Burning the bridges will not bring me back
I know that in me there's still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground
Or am I just wasting time?
12. Blank Infinity (Unreleased Live Version)
Trying to keep myself afloat upon this stream
But a thought is pulling me down
Pulling me all the way down
We are wandering towards a blank infinity
And extinguishing will now be the only way
to diminish your sins
This vortex can't be filled up again
A hole in space and time
Do you cry to the heaven's high
when you're confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder
why these leaden tears will never dry?
They’ll leave behind so many shadows in my mind
High in the sky, all of the clouds are passing by
Wait for this storm, wait for the rain,
and wait for the tears to fall down on me
Do you cry to the heaven's high
when you're confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder
why these leaden tears will never dry?
They’ll leave behind so many shadows
Living in me, living in all the memories in my life
Do you wonder why
These tears never dry
Time forced into life
Living in my mind
Can we ever find a way in this labyrinth without end?
Labyrinth has no end
Which turn should I take?
Left or right?
Should I stay?
Should I be the one?
Do you cry to the heaven's high
When you're confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder why
This leaden tears will never dry
They leave behind so many shadows
THIS SUBSTANCE IN TIME FORCED INTO LIFE
STILL EXISTS BECAUSE IT'S HERE
living in me, living in all the memories, in my life
Lost inside blank infinity
13. Mother Of Light (Unreleased Live Version)
It always put me on the edge
To think of all the spoilt lives
Today I’m one step further
Not sure if I’ve survived myself
Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction
Whatever happens in my dreams
I know it can’t be worse than this
So I prefer to sleep
I am searching
~ without vision ~
For the answers in the dirt
I am waiting
~ just for nothing ~
For the day that I’ll be heard
You’re the sea in which I’m floating
And I lose myself in you
I am feeling these sensations
I communicate with you
I am looking
~ without vision ~
For a different kind of way
I am thinking
~ just for nothing ~
About that specific day
You’re the night so you’re the dark side
Of the day you’ll never see
You’re the past but everlasting
Can you share one day with me?
You’re the hand that I rejected
But I can’t forgive myself
I am selfish and not worthy
To think of, even to die for
Tomorrow, don’t know where I’ll be
I need some place to go now
So do you know the way I feel
Or shall I give up my belief?
You’re the lock I’ve never opened
‘Cause I threw away the key
I’m enclosed
Within my own thoughts
That will never set me free
You’re the question to the answer
And without there’ll never be
Any thought in this direction
You’ve created this in me
Serenity is taking over all I am
It gives me peace
And all I see are visions of my destiny
Why should I bleed
And pay for the others’ greed?
We consciously sign
Our own sentence of death
How can you go on, did you forget
What we have learnt from the past?
We can’t go on killing ourselves
And with us all the rest
Why can’t you see, don’t you regret?
I am alone with all my thoughts
Alone without a hope and
I lost the thing I needed most
I feel I can’t survive this fall
14. Linger (Unreleased Piano Version)
It feels so warm when you are near
You are all I want to feel
Tell me now is this for real
It’s hard to breathe
We’re all lost in travel time
Cannot find my peace of mind
When the sun will rise again
We’ll fly away
Take the stairs to the stars
Wander long, travel far
Some day
A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze,
Autumn leaves,
There’s no chance for spring’s Romance
We linger on but
Leave the past behind us,
Old lovers live it all anew
But chances are so few
Windows open up to life
Put your worries all aside
Sacred silence closes doors for open eyes
Take the stairs to the stars
Wander long, travel far
Some day,
Away
A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze,
Autumn leaves,
There’s no chance for spring’s Romance
We linger on but
Leave the past behind us,
Old lovers live it all anew
But chances are so few
And choices are so true
15. Crystal Mountain (Orchestal Version) (Death Cover)
Built from blind faith
Passed down from self-induced fantasy
Turn a page to justify
Conjuring power - it opens wide
On seventh day,
is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your
cross-turned dagger
[Chorus:]
Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn
All the traps are set to confine
All who get in the way of the divine
In sight and in mind of the hypocrite
A slave to the curse forever confined
Shatter the myth
Don't cut yourself
On your words against
dreams made of steel
Stronger any faith
That inflicts pain and fear,
is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your
cross-turned dagger
[Repeat chorus]
16. Purushayita (Unreleased Track)
