1. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
2. To the Morning Light
Stand before the line
Stand before the line
Freed through emotions of greed
Stand before the line
Stand before the line
Stand before the line of fear
Cold at heart, cold in mind
Every night a different sky
You and me, finally
Shall we dance to eternity
Shall we dance
Shall we dance to the morning light?
I break the ice and time stands still
i overcome the iron will
Embrace the floods inside of me
the flowing waters set me free
Shall we dance to the morning light?
3. Cosmic Armageddon Pt. I
Million years, million tears
Will we die again?
Let us fight for our rights
Start a new found world!
Wretched earth has ended now
It’s calling all of our souls
in the end it’s all over now
We’re calling all of our souls
In this sphere a life of pain and fear
A new beginning’s near
I will be free again
Leave behind the men of weakened pride
A new beginning’s near
I will be free again
A new beginning’s saviour
But our race is one of hate
A new beginning’s saviour
But we decide your fate
A new beginning’s one of pride
In a million years of time
I will never be the same
4. Towards Uncertainty
Breath conceals the wind
And fire lights the night
A thousand eyes within
Staring at our rites
Upon the day he came
His heart an open flame
He storms towards uncertainty...
5. The Eleventh Meridian
Another time, another place
Cast into a foreign space
Being more than I have been
Not the way they wanted me
I feel the dreams of eternity fading away
Blinded by rays of the sun
in the breaking of day
Cast into oblivion
Cast from this machine
Cast into meridians tangled in the sea
Und ob nun Schatten oder Licht
All die Jahre war das nichts
Und wie Lebenden sich quälen
Wenn sie ihren Traum erzählen
6. This Bitter Land
In the blossom of my life
When the chart is at its highest
I begin to feel the pain
As the dust runs through my veins
As I thirst for more and more
And my strength has ceased to soar
I raise nothing but my hand
Take me from this bitter land
Slowly colours fade into a grey
Disappear from progress of the day
My success I’d trade for just one hour
That the colours will not fade away
At this very point in time
I would give all that is mine
I begin to feel the pain
As the dust runs through my veins
Like a victim of the seasons
I will slowly crawl within
Now I raise my heavy hand
Take me from this bitter land
7. The Ancient Labyrinth
Are you afraid to walk with me to the valley of the dead?
Tales of madness, tales of horror are forever said
Take my hand I’ll lead you to the place where you once died
Haunting shadows, fiery winds, but you were terrified!
I’ll show you the place where all the fallen heroes lie
Drink with them but lo! Be warned! You did not have to die
From the mountains to the sea our lost souls to retrieve
Hear the weep and hear the sigh, malignance and deceit.
From the ashes rise again, to the winds I have been sent
Hear the cry - hear the weep
Hear the sigh - here I sleep
Among the ashes of an ancient labyrinth
I am enthralled by sin, and I’ve been trusting him
The Id in me runs wild to the end of an ice cold time…
From the ashes rise again, to the winds I have been sent
Hear the cry - hear the weep
Hear the sigh - here I sleep
Among the ashes of an ancient labyrinth
8. Miseria
9. Monument
A monument of grievance
Stands proud and tall at night
For I am the deceiver
I’m the one who never died
Burn the light of treason
Stand proud and tall at night
For I am the deceiver
I’m the one who never died
I am the darkness
But I feigned to be the light
Now I’m the one that grieves
A septicemia of fear
The stones of tears I heave
Take off your mask, Reveal the truth
Pretend that I can’t see…
Don’t be afraid now to open your eyes
The time is so right for you to realise
Uncover the madness, the bravest of tasks
Show me the face that is behind your mask
Cries of sin, a battle to see
I was the traitor now what will I be?
Fight the lies inside me
A shimmer of hope is about to be free
10. The V Element
11. Cosmic Armageddon Pt. II
Follow the voice of your heart
To the right
Rest wanderer, gather your strength
For the night
Oh leave behind all the weak
And the false
Summon the strong
And believe in your force
Eat up my friend
The foe’s footsteps are here
Unrest in the cosmos
The enemy’s near
Fear not the darkness of light
We’ll be with you, we shall fight
Calling the armies of treacherous lies
Till we see a ray of light shining bright
And the warriors fight
Tears rejoice in our eyes
For our armies are those of true light
12. Kingdoms of Control
Stand before the magistrate of fear
Accusations of temptation running near
Signify the wrongs for which I sinned
As if I’ve slain my very next of kin
I will be what you have been
Following the voice of him
I will stand the trial with pride
With the truth right by my side
Raging silence, stand accused
of something I deny
Pressure, fire, stand accused
and thinking me to be a liar
I will be what you have been
Following the voice of him
I will stand the trial with pride
With the truth right by my side
Lived without a feigned illustrious soul
Undermined by Kingdoms of Control
System of beliefs not recognised
Shall I punish those who punish me to die
13. Time for Change
I turn to see what I purport to be
I transgress established hierarchies
I hope you will accept my company
That my behaviour is what you want it to be
I present you being what I am
I present you wanting what I can
And when the evening comes
Beware the setting sun I’m not the one I used to be
Take this façade off me, what I purported to be
You’ll be the only one to see
I believe in innocence I believe it till the end
No one finds me to rest in peace
I believe in innocence, I believe it till the end
Oh no
Although success is what I crave
Embrace my common flaws, bring out the hidden slave
And see the flesh that’s really me
You can keep the shell but I return to the sea
Present you with my point of view
Accept me now, and the winner is you
I am not many, all but few
Why did I not act upon my instincts?
Two roads diverged in yellow wood
I took the one embraced in endless shadow
But I’m at the journey’s end
Time for change now
Why did I not act upon my instincts?
Two roads diverged in yellow wood
I took the one embraced in endless shadow
But I’m at the journey’s end
14. Echoes of Old Terra
