1. A Dream of Dreams
Nightfall is dawning
The last dream lies failing
A star rises never
To sleep now and ever
Awakened from dreaming
From that horrid seeming
Alone with my nightmare, alone
Eyes turn from sunrise
And recall the shadow
Remember the day
You entered the dream
In emptiness, sorrow,
Those demons lie waiting
So angry they always cry out
But among those voices
The near silent whisper
Urgently crying
Listen to me!
In the womb of life
We live inside the dream
In death, we’ll find
Entwined a fantasy
And though you hide
There's no reality
You know
We all are in a dream of dreams
In your blackness
You're still sleeping
Open up your broken mind
Leave your room
Of pain and anguish
Open up the door and
Leave this dream
Falling sand slips
Through the fingers
Each one fades
Away to black
Can we not save
Even one?
Not when I’m too weak
To save my self
Transport myself
Past this curtain of lies
I twist the course of my dream
Shatter this prison
My mind is set free
I become one with the dream
In the womb of life
We live inside the dream
In death, we’ll find
Entwined a fantasy
And though you hide
There's no reality
You know
We all are in a dream...
In the womb of life
We live inside the dream
In death, we’ll find
Entwined a fantasy
And though you hide
There's no reality
You know
We all are in a dream of dreams
2. Drums of War
Hear of The People
When Stoneheart he came
Consumed with ambition
Devouring our lives
The drums of war
They speak now their deadly song
Bury your fathers in madness
Drums of war
They pierce to the very soul
Birthright of those who have died
Will survive
The land lies in agony
Great One lies slain
Our hope now exhausted
And soon, too, are we
The drums of war
They speak now their deadly song
Bury your fathers in madness
Drums of war
They pierce to the very soul
Birthright of those who have died
Will survive
Take up arms and they'll destroy you
Follow me and be devoured
Can't you see there's no solution
Soon I will obliviate
Hear them calling
Pounding, tempting
Now we feel the lure of power
Hail to thee now serve or die
Empire demands subjugation
With failing light we now arrive
Enshrined in shadow
We'll take our right
From our lips we seem divine
But in our chest pounds the heart of a demon
Hear us our fathers
We stand now unfailing
Our lives are forfeit
The old ways are dying
Wolf grants his heart
And the Eagle his valor
Bear grant your strength
Oh I hear it...the end is here
3. The Dark Citadel : Part I (The Shifter)
Gloom, sporadic chaos twines
Crystallized black ice
Escape into the netherworld
Where the day is night
The power, gift at birth
Battle of the mind
The brink of insanity
Is pushed onto the undivine
There
Evil in the air
There
The plane shifter hides in
Darkhaven
Sirens blare into the night
The mission almost failed
He creates the darkness shroud
The hunter will not be assailed
Gunshots ring out through the air
The bullets hit the wall
The shifter, he is no place at all
He is arriving?
There
Evil in the air
There
The plane shifter
Finds solace in
Darkhaven
Here I find myself again
Trapped in ruined lands
A maze
Which I must find the end
(Hunter is now hunted)
Watching eyes lurk everywhere
I have to find my way with care
The native beasts seek to ensnare
(Hunter is now the hunted)
Here I am?
My life in my own hands
Journey now
Through the shadow lands
Hasten through this ashen hell
To make it to the citadel
Doubt creeps in my mind to tell?
(In the end you will die)
I can feel when they are near
Instill my mind with fear
Their voices bellow in my ears
(When we get you, you will die)
Iron words
Echo in my head
Telling me
That I'll soon be dead
My life in my own hands
Journey now
Through the shadow lands
The shifter dashes for the gates
His predators give chase
Dark ones dive from towers high
And demon factions clash in haste
Fields soon soaked in blackened blood
The prophecy is unfulfilled
The city won't be breached until
The shifter's killed
He's safe for now in?
There
Evil in the air
There
The plane shifter hides in
Darkhaven
4. ...And The Meek
And when the Raven beckons
When time drifts beyond us
See now all that failed
And what, then, is left behind
Our legacy is woven
Demons now awake
What laughter
What beauty
What Sadness
Empires always crumble
Nothing more to take
The future is written
The meek will seize all the world
When building dreams immortal
No noble intent
Bow down to the smallest shadow now
Your life is spent
Our legacy is woven
Past or a mistake
What laughter
What beauty
What Sadness
Empires always tumble
Nothing more to take
The future is binding
The meek will seize all the world
Our lives weaken
The Raven screams
What will you leave of your self?
Tyranny crushed
A new world ensues
Legacy fades...meaningless
Time will end the pain
Nothing more the same
Time will end the pain
Nothing more the same
Now Time stands before us
Pathway to The Right
Pride will soon be broken
Kingdomless are justified
Our legacy is woven
Demons now awake
What laughter
What beauty
What Sadness
Empires always crumble
Nothing more to take
The future is written
The meek will seize...
Our legacy is woven
Past or a mistake
What laughter
What beauty
What Sadness
Empires always tumble
Nothing more to take
The future is binding
The meek will seize all the world
5. Brave Murder Day
[Part 1: Summoning]
What have you done?
A casting out
Now this vengeance is all that is known
Feed the flame, filled with rage
Let the summoning now begin
Nightmare is called, demon seed
Dream Shadow, become the very need
Harvester he knows the way
Where will you stand on your
Brave murder day?
Cold is the dark,
Wrapped in hate
This obsession begins to devour
Thoughts ablaze which number their days
Bend the one to make the amends
Nightmare is called, demon seed
Dream Shadow, become the very need
Harvester he knows the way
Where will you stand on your
Brave murder day?
[Part 2: Lament]
A dream...I had a dream of all my yesterdays...
How could you bring me this way?
I am near...
A fate... This fate has stolen all my dreams away...
Why must I be used this way?
I am fear...
[Part 3: Murder]
Darkness creeps inside the dream
Now the emptiness cools the heart
Deep inside filled with pain
You scream at the end crying
Murder! Murder!
True malice, treason
Murder! Murder!
Death without reason
Murder! Murder!
Cruel heartbreak rend
Murder! Murder!
Endless torment
Death upon his throne
And the pyre
Flames, flying high, damn the soul
Deep inside filled with grief
Dark hand, why are you crying?
Murder! Murder!
True malice, treason
Murder! Murder!
Death without reason
Murder! Murder!
Cruel heartbreak rend
Murder! Murder!
Endless torment
6. Waking Among The Dead
Risen from emptiness
Shadows surround
Mocking of life
Rends my eyes
Callous deceit is all we are given
To be, to be
In nothing is hid
Mimic of life’s flame
Blindly betrayed
Demons of spite
Sear my mind
My god, Stability, crush out the life
In me, in me.
Unflinching I cry:
I am alive!
Decay surrounding me
Can you see me?
Rise from your death
Sleep not in agony
Am I breathing?
No
We feed the machine
Unceasingly
It's time to be
In fire we find
Redemption I know
Life of the dead
Tears my heart
Seize now the choices
We are not given
To be, to be
As one now alive
I am alive!
Decay surrounding me
Can you see me?
Rise from your death
Sleep not in agony
Am I breathing?
I am alive!
Decay surrounding me
Can you see me?
Rise from your death
Sleep not in agony
Am I breathing?
No
7. Umbris Mortis
In silence and night
They feast their sweet victory
We cut, we fall
Silently scream
One lives, one dies
Who can say why?
In fear we live
Oh we live
Winter's embrace
You'll know
The raven's black gaze
To try, to fail
So many lies
They lust, they grasp
To slaughter we go
Our lamb is slain
We are slain
Lost is the innocent world
We knew as a child
We suffer, we grow
And the fair smile is gone
For the rest of our days
As we feel it draw near
Let us walk side by side
With a fire in our hearts
Oh, what will become
When it's our time to leave
And never return
I wander, I wonder
Yesterday's child
A long lost dream
Hear them sing
"Never fade away"
Of terror they sing
And scream
The shadow unknown
Deceit or truth
You'll never know
Believe, deny
This ends just the same
In anger and hate
The demon smiles
Lost is the innocent world
We knew as a child
We suffer, we grow
And the fair smile is gone
For the rest of our days
As we feel it draw near
Let us walk side by side
With a fire in our hearts
8. Sea The Oblivion
Wrapped in the darkness of our mind
Trapped underneath the blackened sky
Reliving shadows of the past
Condemned to nothingness...
So it has come to this
The meeting of the end
We co-existed our whole life
We each walked separate paths
Which have all lead us here
And now there is no turning back
Demons spread their wings
One by one they take us away
Our final destination
Sea of oblivion
Demons spread their wings
One by one they take us away
The evil child
He takes the life of his own mother
He has no tongue
But holds the power to deceive
He seeks to wipe out all
Who dwell within this chasm
Cognitive holocaust
Leaving no remains
Nowhere we can hide
We all are trapped inside
There's no after...
An ancient burial ground
The last stand of the soulless
The child will end them all
Just to rule over one
He will become the puppeteer
To the outside world
The dying disappear
Into oblivion
Under starless sky
To nothingness we fly
There's no afterlife
9. Red
Dawn bleeds screaming
Madness crawling
Wolf eyes
Staring
The beast it laughs
The beast is red
In the time of agony
The red beast takes my mind
It feeds again
I hide my eyes
Its rending jaws won't take me
Through the cries of agony
Those voices call my name
Though I pray for it to end
Again there will be red
One lies broken
Two are mocking
Eyes accusing
Red surrounds
It covers me
In the time of agony
The red beast takes my mind
It feeds again
I hide my eyes
Its rending jaws won't take me
Through the cries of agony
Those voices call my name
Though I pray for it to end
Again there will be red
Where was I?
I do not know
Something echoes in my mind
Someone help me
Please explain
As I wait a shadow covers me
I glide across the carnal room
I feel that demon now.
I lift my gaze to see the truth
The mirror shows my deepest fear
I am fading to red...
