1. ...And We Reach the Vale of Tears
2. The Art Gallery of Eternity
Far above the trees
Your desires come true
Your spread wings
Are flying you towards a new world
Between the ground and the Moon
Your loneliness is waiting for you
The vision of the treasure
Locked in the art gallery hurts
Far above the trees
Time doesn't count
Your exhausted body
Is flying with the wind
Your tightened chains
Won't let you go
Your eyes are wide open
You can't help watching the pictures
Between the Earth and the Moon
The distance is increasing
The treasure of the Universe
Attacks your loneliness
Pain shoots through you face
Softened by warm teardrops
And you break your chains
With the power of a hundred giants
You fly too close to the Moon
Its brightness burns your face
You have to see the pictures
Or eternity will punish them
The Art Gallery of Eternity
You can turn back now
You were allowed to see
What you saw
Far above the trees
Night became darker
Darkness rules over everything
A landscape that was never bright
Your tightened chains
Won't let you go
Your eyes are wide open
You can't help watching the pictures
Between the Moon and the ground
The distance is decreasing
While falling into the depth
You're not awake anymore
3. The Way We're Created
The way fire flames up
The way horn is sounded
The way flood sweeps you away
The way mud buries you
Is how we come out of the nothingness
The way a heart can get cold
The way a minute passes by
The way the sun sets
The way birds soar to the sky
Is how we go on into the nothingness
The way magic works
The way a heart can love
The way day and night
Deep and high unite
Is how we gonna be one
We are gonna be one
The way a heart can love
We go on into the nothingness
Like the unbroken soul into the universe
We come out of the nothingness
Like the homeless bird flies out of the forest
4. The Lord of Illusion
Don't look back, don't turn back
Don't wait for commission from anyone
Don't say a word, don't expect anything
Silence gives consent
Cover your tearful eyes with a veil
Let your pain be torturing
Cover yourself with a back-sword
Like a slave in chains
You can't show something forever
Life can't always be good
You make yourself be called to dance
The music of the shadows is playing
Storm clouds are gathering, the sword is sharp
Your magic is about to end
The pain is awful, but has an end
You see, appearance kills, you're the only one to know it
Eternal peace is waiting for you And if you must, you'll get out
There is silence, you're examining your bleeding wounds
Perhaps it's another world that gives you another chance
People are mourning but you know that you're not done for
You take off your veil and watch them mourning you
You are the Lord of Illusion, you know it well
Prepare for the new show and enjoy yourself
5. Don't Wait If Dawn Comes
Fallen on the hot ash of your altar
Fed with yawning rage I wish we met there
Stretch my weak body
Kill piles of thousands of feeble ones
Let it remain between us
Don't let me hide crying
Whip me tenaciously, let there be no shelter
Let me feel you
Torture me, tread on me, let me see
Let me sleep on frozen roots, on icy nights
Let them know it, too
In soft hands, in decaying souls
They should crawl humiliated, make the burdens even heavier
Don't wait if dawn comes
I wish we met there
Let me feel you
Don't wait if dawn comes
Don't wait if dawn comes
Let it remain between us
Let me feel you
Don't wait if dawn comes
Vivid tongues of flame, lick it
Sparkling eyes, flow, burn it
They shouldn't write signs on gravestones
6. Where Dead Dreams Live Again
The storm is big
So is the wish
All you've hidden so far
Are coming forward
Breaking forth recalling dreams again
Dreams you've always feared
Or time has made forgotten
Let yourself go
Let the flood drift you
Let the wind in
Before you'd die again
Your might's become endless
There is no limit anymore
The old dreams are coming back
The rage of destruction is waiting for you
The flame is really hot this time
The seas are cold
The forests are dark
The space is wide
The mights are stronger
The feelings are complete
And so are you like you'd been reborn
Let the wind of desires take you
Let this minute last forever
It will blow you there,
Where the dead dreams live again
It's booming in your ears like a crazy funeral song
It's ripping you to pieces so you can feel
The flame of pain again
It's stirring you up and makes you dance
The dance of the dead
