1. Song For The Dead King
Tell me
Who condemned you to leave the dying world?
How could they dare to make this shabby act?
They disappeared in the sands of centuries.
You only left with us the hope and a shine of gold.
Why do you linger on in memories?
Why don't you give a sign and show your will,
Call us to arms, have your revenge, and break the seal.
Turn all the gold to steel
Every time we hear your anthem, we can't keep ourselves in hand
We're dommed to wait for your coming, oh, king of our homeland
When the day comes we intend to make blood-guilty people pay!
Though we may fail, We will still try. We'll clear your way.
Prove me
Disperse my doubts and show your saddened face
I promise not to recoil from wierd view
If you can hear me, just look inside my heart
You'll see that there is no space for someone else
Had I betrayed you only once? no, I had not!
Show me no mercy and take my breath away
I know you'll never forget but never say.
I sing this song for your way.
2. Prayer
I am praying for my brother to be brave when he's sailing 'cross the sea.
I am praying for my mother not to cry and to be so depressed.
I just want to believe when the war is away
He'll be back : stars will show the way.
I am praying for the fortune not to leave him while he's in open sea.
I am praying to the Deity. Late at night send winds, fill the sails
Let the storms will pursue distant foe all the time
Stars will mark the way with their shine.
Sail through blockade, the ship of the only hope.
Pass the fleet at moment the myst is rising.
Sail through blockade, the ship of the only hope.
Pass the fleet at moment the myst is rising.
3. Queen Of Snows
You were my only friend, my only light in sea of darkness.
The time I spent with you prevails in memories.
I held your cold hand and lead you down the way of sadness.
I felt how life was leaving you and eyes were full of tears.
Look beyond from the edge of an abyss
What can you see in the distant shapes
Can you feel that the way you are on leads through tears and despair.
Would you excuse for the riven heart,
Would you try though you know that nobody expects.
While your smile is reflecting in mirrors as fake
You won't dare.
My palace will be the sanctum, it keeps the sense of you breathing
I won't let anyone be there not at any price.
Your grave will be untouched and grass around it will be just greener.
And roses will be blooming forever under the ice.
My sorrow,
I know I will be the Queen of Snows.
I'll show you my will.
My woe,
It will be covered with the snow tomorrow.
I'll show you...
Devotion to you, disregard to them
Apathy to all the rest, those around me
I'm feeling lonely.
I'll never forget, never forgive,
Never release from this exaltation.
It's my damnation.
4. Treasure Hunter
I was thiking how to try to explain
Why I couldn't do this way anymore
When We went together straight up the cliff
I remembered how it had begun long ago.
Lightings flashed and in their light
we all stared at the weird map.
We were so agitated and we heard the ancient call.
We decided unanimously to keep together till
The death or fatal disease doesn't part us...
We decided to be ready to do anything..
And to find the Treasure of Kings.
We travelled far for five long years. Trying hard. Doing best.
We really thought that we were close. Sombre cave, wooden chest.
But every time when another day is gone
I had to say myself that we were wrong.
We prayed a lot and we believed just one step and we're at site.
But at the time when the sun went down I had thoughts I couldn't hide.
We could pretend that we're on the proper way
But we just marked the time from day to day.
And standing on edge of the cliff I thought how to try to explain.
But all my thoughts led to the one, whos that fault was.
Suddenly I had understood that my friends just waited for a chance,
So I took out my gun and broke the silence with two gunshots.
5. Sentinel
Making to believe
That there is time for everything.
Seconds kill you slowly
But certainly.
You don't need a key
The door is locked from the outside
But they deprived me
To set you free.
Walls of stones.
You're In the cell only four paces long
You're better submit imprisonment
By order of the crown.
Making me to hope
That you'll take this curse off me
You know I can't deny
My singularity
I can hear you say
To help you to escape the jail
But I must obey
My majesty
Time glides on
And moon replaces sun
Prisoners turn the bones
One by one.
6. Wanderer
My lonely boat fluently drifts on the light waves
I'm trying to foretell where I will land.
I guess I'll never see the end of this fantasy
If I ever try.
Like sereous disease shapes change in the mist
I see only lie.
Now I don't know maybe I row right against the stream.
I want to hear familiar voice that takes me away from this dream.
Now there's no saying what's on that side of our lifes.
And no one can tell me how to penetrate through.
I guess I'll never know why Phoenix burning low
Rises from the ash.
A dream discarded dies hard, gones never come back.
Because of human flesh.
Only a few find the way through abrupt and jagged rocks.
Only the one has got the key fitting to all the locks.
My lonely boat will be the last followed this way.
And maybe I will be the last who knew the truth.
I guess I'll never be who will escape the sea
Of discarded dreams
I'm just a wanderer, who overcame despair and
Rowed against the stream.
7. Midnight
It feels, like you were here.
I think you prefer when it's
Dark, but I hope you won't ask to off the light.
And when the light sleep
Creeps nearly behind the door trying to pass insensibly.
And under the striking
Of Midnight Tower clock
I'm able to hear what you say me.
Seeking for a shadow don't stay on under the sun.
Waiting for a silence don't walk on crowded streets.
- Away from needless diffidence! Release your bounded senses!
Fighting with illusions go on and just do as you think fit.
My dear friend, although I've never seen you,
I'm calling you again across the distance.
The winds will bring my voice to you on their wings
You'll hear me if you believe in my excstence...
I know about every leaf in shady forests
I waste my time by reading tracks among the pines.
I even hear how grass pierce through the stones.
I'll tell you everything I know If you don't mind.
I hear you every night.
As you are here.
What woud you do If I agree
But just for fear.
It feels, like you were here.
I think you prefer when it's
Dark, but I hope you won't ask to off the light.
Night covered the town,
Night's blown all candles out.
And When you come I won't try to hide.
8. On The Pier
Mournful day
The day when you sailed away
To the accompaniment of the rain.
All that day
I stood on the pier
Looking into the distance once again.
When the ship
Dissolved in the fog
I had to recognized I was alone
All that day
I stood on the pier
Catching tears of angels crying.
From night to night I fell into a reverie
- Hiding from reality dreaming her life away.
From day to day oblivion relieves my misery
- Wishing to make up for lost time, to bring him back again.
Late at night I had a dream
It soothed my pain and looked so real.
I dreamed that you were here.
Heartened me
Till the dawn you stayed beside
Looked at me, smiled tenderly
Disappeared with touch of light
Suddenly
I don't know what's happining with me.
I live the dream easing my pain.
I cannot change sober reality
I live the hope we'll meet again.
Insanity's still beyond the sight.
But I can feel it will be here tonight.
I know I am a mere shadow of my former self.
I wish to be a master of my delicate health.
I ran through the night from my nightmares
Ran to the docks seeking shelter.
With what is left of my feeble strength.
I saw your ship in the haven
Saw a lonly man standing on the pier
He turned his face on me, familiar face.
