To Count The Stars
Lyrics: Chris Kostas & Sakis Bandis
I) The Shore
In a second towers ruined
In a whisper lifetime lost
In a heartbeat angels died
In a moment with no cost
In a dream I felt like living
In a passion I was drowned
In a fantasy that's bleeding
I start to count the stars
She smiled and asked me if I've reached the shore
I know she can be that bitter sometimes
A man pursuing the dream is a flame
And now the water is all over me
In waves of love, in streams of passion
I lust you, I feel you, I live
Can I count the stars, can I rise above
my limits, my fears, your intimacy?
Building fantasies struggling so hard
to give them life and take joy in return
Hey child, isn't it time to grow up
or is it time to escape from the crowd
In waves of love, in streams of passion
I lust you, I feel you, I live
Can I count the stars, can I rise above
my limits, my fears, your intimacy?
Hold me, touch me, surround me, kill me
With the bright myth
I have dressed you
With the pale tears
I've caressed you
Space Vast
Enter
Walk the Stars
Watch them dying in the past
Like men, like ships
abandoned in streams of desolation
drowning in the waters of guilt
for they loved not their dreams
In a second towers ruined
In a whisper lifetime lost
In a heartbeat angels died
In a moment with no cost
In a dream I felt like living
In a passion I was drowned
In a fantasy that's bleeding
I start to count the stars
She smiled and asked me if I've reached the shore
I know she can be that bitter sometimes
A man pursuing the dream is a flame
And now the water is all over me
In waves of love, in streams of passion
I lust you, I feel you, I live
Can I count the stars, can I rise above
my limits, my fears, your intimacy?
Building fantasies struggling so hard
to give them life and take joy in return
Hey child, isn't it time to grow up
or is it time to escape from the crowd
In waves of love, in streams of passion
I lust you, I feel you, I live
Can I count the stars, can I rise above
my limits, my fears, your intimacy?
In a second towers ruined
In a whisper lifetime lost
In a heartbeat angels died
In a moment with no cost
In a dream I felt like living
In a passion I was drowned
In a fantasy that's bleeding
I start to count the stars
II. Sculpture
-Instrumental-
III. Statues
Sculpture statues made of ice - sensation
they melt, we die, water, dust
I'll be there when he will reach the shore
When his art on ice will melt no more
Statues »People come and people go and
in the silence of the morning
I'm not the one you wish to meet
'cause in the light I fear I'll have no shadow
Dreams are warm and dreams are cold
the fire that keeps them out of reach
We sing and dance and joy we have
but laughter turns to bitter sayings«
Sculpture statues made of ice and passion
they melt, we die, water, dust, entropy
Statues [are] gone
[they] lived enough
[to] speak for truth
[the] truth of Art
[the] sculptor's war
[their] breath gave life
It takes a moment to
memorize the beauty
It takes a lifetime to
comprehend its source
I will be there to watch him
when he will reach the shore
when his art on ice will melt
no more
2. The new Jerusalem
The New Jerusalem
Lyrics: Chris Kostas
Bride of the lamp
You 're the One we are longing for
to heal our wounds
from the Babylon whore
Tree of Life feed us
for our flesh will be torn by beast
Light cleanse our eyes
for they 'll witness the slaughter
Till we embrace the One whose face
we 'll see whose Name we 'll know
Seated upon the only Throne
He is alive
Shelter from rain
Comfort from pain
I am the Morning Star
Showing the way into
the New Jerusalem
All time prepares
Your coming from Heaven
For you are the end
We all lived to love You
Seven more years
will the lions be devouring us
Roman arenas all over the world
...Enter the New Jerusalem
(Apocalypse 21:4)
3. Extropian
Extropian
Lyrics: Sakis Bandis
Time is dancing on my grave at last
when heroes of my past are moving so fast
The world's reality is just a dream
[but] in this dream, everything's so real
Clouds in dark mirth, fields of intellect
shining and rotten
Perfect lies, questions rise
they haunt you into the fire
these craven images
silence fills this antique place
where false words die
the reality we create
If I say it exists
then it will in my mind at least
Is this the way we made our gods
and the heroes of our past?
Dream within a dream
Time is moving still
Weakness, strength, reality
I'm building worlds and life the same
Natural laws at will I make
»I believe everything just I believe nothing«
Endless trips to the edge of space
The roads of once and future cities I stroll
as I now ask the pale sea to catch my fall
Love precious guilt, full of sin
for the dream withers
Suns and windless skies always hidden
from your eyes, now and forever
my time is still
it's so hard to keep it now
She freezes your hands
and burns your lips
Past and future 'round in circles
the word's been changing but it is still the same
Entropy of space I feel you
in the darkness when I kill you
I, above all creatures of the multiverse
the god with questions and anxietes
a shadow turned to king
with all evidence of life past forgotten,
made love to the spirit of the night
and she gave birth to a daughter: Entropy
Into her belly now I dwell
Slowly eaten, fast consumed
Disharmony of a perfect union
this dream is not mine
Pallid shadows run
but time is still
I live in my dreams
the end of time
Reality's entropy
it's no longer alive
Dream within a dream
Conflicts of morality
The master of my fate I'm not
This life in death I cannot make
Reality died in my heads
(Inspired by the works of Michael Moorcock)
4. Traveller
Traveller
Lyrics: Stergios Kourou
That ship has left without me once again
Its smoke still swinging in the air
The captain knew I was to join them too
But will he ever understand?
Those noisy lifeful docks I'm looking for
sink and emerge in instant thoughts
Strange is the feeling of tranquillity
Now here I found an empty shore
Traveller
Locked inside a storm
In a trek imposed
A roten ship becomes my place of joy
Strange how old maps erase my goal
Upon a diary with dust thick as sand
I'm drawning crosses with my thumb
Traveller
Locked inside a storm
In a trek imposed
Sunday down
Sonn we 'll hear the band
playing the farewell song
5. Adorned with flowers
Adorned With Flowers
Lyrics: Stergios Kourou
Memories of pain sharing my room
A friend is present in here, left me alone again
Vision of past now my only one
She used to fill me with light and now she‘s gone
away
Drowning in sorrow you once said you’re tough
Now in the sight of those flowers you cannot hide
Shadows that dance on my wooden floor
I fall asleep in a world surrounded by her face
Madness is so close now knitting a web
I think I’m heading for there please try to fill her space
Drowning in sorrow you once said you’re tough
Now in the sight of those flowers you cannot hide
Silence I touched when new dawn filled the sky
Missing her body my thoughts hold it tight
Last night she came once again in my dreams
Charming her smile but it can’t change the scene
Long, long winter cold
Spring has left a summer brought the fall
Long, long winter cold
Winter cold, you rage unfolds
My naked soul will stand no more
The picture is faint, my eyes wet still
But I can see what’s left to be
Long, long winter cold
Spring has left a summer brought the fall
Long, long winter cold
That friend is after my footsteps…
Memories of pain sharing my room
A friend is present, left me alone
Vision of past now my only one
She used to fill me with light and now…
Spring has left a summer brought the fall
Naked soul against that winter cold
Flowers stub the wood destroy my will
I can almost see what’s left to be
Horizons blackened
Earth my burnt out land
Sea, tears from heaven
Cherish the cold last kiss
… within a tune
Drowning in sorrow you once said you’re tough
Now in the sight of those flowers you cannot hide
6. Colours
Colours
Lyrics: Sakis Bandis
Oceans of blue waters
An everlasting sea
Reflecting long-dead ships that sunk, in your eyes
Green winds glow at midnight
A tigress stalks thru the night
Awaiting for her game, in your face
Hellish red flames burn, torches light the night
Silver tears are hot with pain, in your hands
And beneath the surface blackness everywhere
The emptiness of feelings my only guide
Rainbow, hail to thee
I’m wondering what you hide between your colours
Can you tell me where is she now ?
Hanging on the air, silent, with a grim steady motion
Trying so hard to find gold in your roots
Whenever I’m blue these colours sing
I hear their voices in the wind
Calling me, calling me…
I’m beyond the sun now
Light is guiding me
Under blue horizons
Life is mocking me
Penetrating darkness
I feel your breath so sweet
Mutiny of shadows
In the blackest pit
Silence grows in turmoil
Eager for my lust
The tears I cried now wingless angels
Crimson flakes of fire
Stars glitter noisy
Through my self and off my soul
Someday you’ll repay me
Though your heart is weary
For the webs are always near, in your heart
And beyond the starlight, darkness everywhere
The loneliness of everlasting pain
lives through these cries
Colours sing silently
Shadows dance hazily
If I trust you, you‘ll betray me
With your wings I‘m flying high
Colours touch gently
Give me your harmony
If I scream now you‘ll be gone
In your light I am alone
Colours, wave the song that leads to you
for the path of dreams is closed
and I ‘m scared
The Bridge of heaven lifts the burden
of my dreams that cry out in despair
Silver dews of light are flowing
Anticipating for the fears I‘ve left behind
with a smile upon my face
There are no colours in the darkness
“Sing now for the pain you feel
and dance beneath the moonlight
Maybe you‘ll forget the past
Live another life”
With a smile upon my face
7. Of fire and utterance
Of Fire And Utterance
Lyrics: Sakis Bandis & Chris Kostas
Death rides his wilful stallion
The scorn of life
Agony is pain and joy in
flashes of light
I remember lost emotions
Warsparks too keen
He will come the angel black
who glorifies the sin
Cling to fight that’s all it takes
my energy astray
Cling to sanity of men
Power blocks the way
There’s no such thing as cold love
Ice that chills the bone
Don’t embrace me, don’t even face me
I will make you crawl
…No … Away! Oh… the fear
My dreams are mine to dream
I will hold on
I will not look unto your face
Don’t try to hide
Eyes burning
Scourge of evil
Be where the Light flows
Beware, the night grows
Stretch hands to reach out
the One True Flame
This is hellfire
This is the end of endurance
Endless abyss
My lost courage all the tears
that violently take my will away
Vociferate
Towers of gold glisten in haze
Initiate
The powers released are
too great
The spell unleashed, the
unborn will slay
The spell unleashed
Creation, decay
As the future turns to past
Life seems to return to dust
And the present blends inside
Once it was, twice it died
And the earth shall split in two
Seas in havoc tremble too
Rage of war
Be where the Light flows
Beware, the night grows
Stretch hands to reach out
the One True Flame
