Threshold of Miracles
06:23
|

[LYRICS]
Lost in a twilight world
Shaking in fear
Unheard prayers we scream
At the threshold of miracles
We are shaped by the phantoms we fear
We are fashioned by nightmares, aren’t we?
Frozen in place
Owned by what we possess
Honoring false limitations
We experience true initiation
There is a way through the darkness ahead
We cross the threshold
We choose to have faith
We are shaped by the trials we face
Our nightmares show us the way
Darkness before me
As night hides my morning
I face the ghosts
That I fear the most
Yet I know
There is a way through the darkness ahead
We spread our wings
We have faith
Shaking in fear as the demons draw near
We cross the threshold of miracles
See miracles take place I ascend
See angels gather near I ascend
As I ascend to face I ascend
The deepest of my fears I ascend
See angels gather near I ascend
See miracles take place I cross the threshold now
I cross the threshold now I rise to face my fears
I rise to face my fears I rise to face my fears
See miracles take place I ascend
See angels gather near I ascend
As I ascends to face I ascend
The deepest of my fears I ascend
See angels gather near I ascend
See miracles take place I cross the threshold now
I cross the threshold now I rise to face my fears
I rise to face my fears I rise to face my fears
Journey to the west
Journey to the east
Journey through the dark
Stand against the beast
There is a way through the darkness ahead
We spread our wings
We have faith
Shaking in fear as the demons draw near
We cross the threshold of miracles
Brave the storm
It’s time to be reborn
I rise in grace
My fears I face
I cross the threshold
Heaven penetrates earth

[LYRICS]
Ohh - fear rising again
Ohh - tears fall again
Look in the mirror
Tell me do you like what you see?
Signs are clearer
They reveal who you’re meant to be
You’re troubled and seething
Sands of time are passing your soul
Barely breathing
Running blind, no sense of control
No surrender, the real pretender
Tears to splendor you go
Heart is bleeding, you’ve stopped believing
The storm’s unweaving you know
Don’t wait til tomorrow
You must somehow find your way back home
Dreams of your sorrow
Realizing that you’re all alone
Scared and uneasy
With no one to take you away
Cold and demeaning
You feel blue skies turning to gray
No surrender, the real pretender
Tears to splendor you go
Your heart is bleeding, you’ve stopped believing
The storm’s unweaving you know
Ohh - fear rising again
Ohh - tears fall again
No surrender, the real pretender
Tears to splendor you go
Your heart is bleeding, you’ve stopped believing
The storm’s unweaving you know
No surrender, the real pretender
Tears to splendor you go
Your heart is bleeding, you’ve stopped believing
The storm’s unweaving you know
Ohh - fear rising again
Ohh - tears fall again

[LYRICS]
Dies Irae
Will possess your soul
Rage is what made me survive so long
Blinding white light makes me strong, so you fall
Dies irae
Dies illa
Solvet seclum
In favilla
Rage is power
You will feel immortal
Yet soon will it
Annihilate your mind
And your soul
Dies irae
See, can you see my eyes in the night
Burning bright, taste my revenge
Hate, my mind is sharp as a blade
Through your heart, a new world without you
Dies irae
Dies illa
Solvet seclum
In favilla
Rage is power
You will feel immortal
Yet soon will it
Annihilate your mind
And your soul
Rage
Will possess your soul
Will destroy your enemy
Feels like victory
It’s the point of no return
From this cancer you will burn
Dies irae
Dies illa
Solvet seclum
In favilla
Rage is power
You will feel immortal
Yet soon will it
Annihilate your mind
And your soul
Dies irae
Rage
Dies irae
Dies illa
Too late, you have lost your soul
Dies irae

Never Ashes Again

[LYRICS]
Aurora tandem advenit
Through moonless night
No road followed
No banner save my own
For dawn is breaking brighter for me
The war I have fought is extensive
Here at the end I stand
Beaten, bloody, soldiering on
Live to see the sunrise
My thirst is satiated
With the same tears I’ve cried
Outrunning the hand of fate
Resolute, we march, we sing, we bleed
Inside my dark heart there is no hope nor trust
How can life go back to the way it was
No tears, we see the map of stars above
I believe
I’ll find my way back home
Rise again
Abandoned, tortured and alone cuz
Every dawn breaks brighter
When the moon was dark before
And the lonely souls still aboard a ship
Sing at sight of familiar shores
The embers of my life will burn and glow
This I know, never ashes again
The concept of comfort is abstract
Memories long since gone
Bled out in this merciless fight
Live to see the sunrise
Nevertheless I am breathing
Filling my lungs with hope
I’m ready to let out a battlecry
Resolute, we march, we sing, we bleed
You will never know all that I crossed to see
The embrace of these mountains, endless fields of green
Home
I see it finally
Now I know
The calm after a stormy sea, cuz...
Every dawn breaks brighter
When the moon was dark before
And the lonely souls still aboard a ship
Sing at sight of familiar shores
The embers of my life will burn and glow
This I know, never ashes again
Facing opposition
Finding hope
See my dawn that’s breaking brightly
After moonless nights before
Never doubt the strength inside of me
To make it home once more
Every dawn breaks brighter
When the moon was dark before
And the ship that holds my lonely soul
Can finally see the shore
Every dawn breaks brighter
/ Broken made whole
When the moon was dark before
/ Ever we’re healing
And the lonely souls still aboard a ship
/ We march on
Sing at sight of familiar shores
/ Ever on
The embers of my life will burn and glow
This I know, never ashes again

[LYRICS]
I awake in a dream of illusion
I’ve been lost in a sea of dismay
I can feel every breath of your presence
As I search for the answers today
I envision you standing beside me
As I reach for the touch of my friend
Since you’re gone I can only imagine
Our new moment together again
Is there a new horizon?
Will the clouds begin to fade away?
The pain is overwhelming
I know my life will never be the same
Like a wheel of fortune
In a fleeting moment everything has changed
Crying out into the dead of night
Memories that keep me in the fight
Trampled by the wheels of destiny
I’ve been waiting for you in the twilight
Staggering in a cruel twist of fate
Never knowing the reason for sorrow
Tragedy found its way to our gate
Unforeseen circumstance without warning
Leaving words left unsaid, left behind
I will see you again in the morning
In your heart I am there you will find
Life is just a stairway bringing us close, closer forever
No, you’re not departed, there is no space that can divide us
In the river of life there’s a journey
From the mountain that flows to the sea
There’s an ocean of heartache and burden
In your eyes love is all that I see
Don’t let go of my hand we’re united
Everlasting, eternal, complete
And we live for the mystical union
And I know that you’re always with me
Does this anguish ever die?
Does the pain ever subside?
‘Cause you know our lives have bonded together
And the world will never see
All the love you brought to me
With a sacred heart I’ll always remember
Lay me down
Lay me down
Slay me down
Slay me down
Maybe it's all an emotion
Maybe it's all an emotion
Life is just a stairway bringing us close, closer forever
Forever
No, you’re not departed, there is no space that can divide us
Life is just a stairway bringing us close, closer forever and ever
And ever
I awake in a dream of illusion
What is my life?
I’ve been lost in a sea of dismay
But to see you again
I can feel every breath of your presence
As I search for the answers today
We're always together
I envision you standing beside me
As I reach for the touch of my friend
Since you’re gone I can only imagine
Our new moment together again

Symphony of Death
07:00
|

[LYRICS]
I’m trapped, cornered and still
Outside death’s drawing near
Satis est bellum
Comrades were rushing towards
enemy lines, spraying mortars and bullets
A sudden pause, all stared to the sky
That’s when it arrived
Satis est bellum
Vultus circum
Vultus circum
Through the glass I see it kill
Strike the person’s name with its quill
With a finger’s touch a body drops
Scythe unmoved, clean, untouched
It kills only those who killed
Civilians caring for their own
Got to live, were not alone
Is this an answered prayer
A sign to the world
Or just the end of …?
Please just take me home
Don’t know why or what I'm fighting for
Those who led us astray should be here
“For the nation!”, extermination
In the mist, deathly beauty and fear
The mechs undergo their drill
Sights of horror, dust and tears
Death’s unscathed it continues still
It continues still
It kills only those who killed
Civilians caring for their own
Got to live, were not alone
Is this an answered prayer
A sign to the world
Or just the end of …?
Please just take me home
Don’t know why or what I'm fighting for
Those who led us astray should be here
“For the nation!”, extermination
Death’s hell eyes burn on me
Et quis fortes
Qui vultus
Invenies
Hoc praemium
Frui
Pulsate mortem
Pulsate mors
Pulsate mors
Fatum pulsat
It killed only those who killed
Civilians caring for their own
Were not alone
Is this vision the truth or am I…?
Please just take me home
Don’t know why or what I'm fighting for
Those who led us astray should be here
“For the nation!”, exoneration
“For the nation!”

Un'odissea il mio viaggio
Non c'è più pace nella mia vita
Sento dolor nel mio cuor
Nella mia forza confiderò
[part 2: THE REBEL]
War is here
And all we feel is rage
Rebellious, that’s how I feel
Rebellious, don’t wanna kneel
Armies are marching in
To take our freedom
We can’t give in
Rebellious, we feel the same
Rebellious, we can’t be shamed
This is our land and we will fight for it until the end of time
Anger and revolt
We cannot sell our soul
We must rise and for our land we will die
Passion and strength within
Will give us self esteem
We must rise and for our land we will die
Rebellion
Fight for our freedom
Stand and live to fight another day
Rebellious, that’s how I feel
Rebellious, don’t wanna kneel
Bright shining days
Music and friends
Are missed
For heavenly peace
We are longing now
Anger and revolt
We cannot sell our soul
We must rise and for our land we will die
Passion and strength within
Will give us self esteem
We must rise and for our land we will die
Rebellion
Fight for our freedom
Stand and live to fight another day
Rebellion

[LYRICS]
In the sand, my journey starts now
On the dunes, I’ll find her somehow
In my soul the wildest fire
Through my veins a burning desire
In the wind I can smell her scent
Hear that voice when the dark descends
In my dreams we reunite
Even if she’s out of sight
Hear my call through the desert, in the night
Wait for me, keep the flame inside alight
It's my war for passion, till the end I will fight
Burning eyes, the skyline draws near
It’s my mission, there is no fear
I can’t wait, the moonlight glows
Deep inside my hunger grows
Hear my call through the desert, in the night
Wait for me, keep the flame inside alight
It's my war for passion, till the end I will fight
Come to me, keep the flame of lust alive
Through this hell, just for you I’ll always strive
Waiting for the night that
Our souls intertwine

The Absolution
05:59
|

[LYRICS]
The last time we talked was so tough
Then I said: “enough is enough”
Since then many things have changed in our lives
Well, I still remember your spites
All your wicked games and the fights
I can’t ignore all the wounds you left
Is there a way to carry on? To end this bane?
To erase the pain?
I’m fighting so hard to break these chains
To liberate myself
I will forgive in this life I live
I can’t forget, how do you cope with regrets?
This is the day that I’ll let my tears drain
Can’t waste my time, I’ll free my mind, don’t ask me why
Let our lives go on
Maybe in the end it’s right
To let go, to see the bright side
There is no reason to feel this way
Cause for all the times I felt angry a part of me has died
I’ve had enough
Now I know a way to carry on, to end this bane
To erase the pain
I fought so hard and broke those painful chains
And liberated myself
I will forgive in this life I live
I can’t forget, how do you cope with regrets?
This is the day that I’ll let my tears drain
Can’t waste my time, I’ll free my mind, don’t ask me why
Let our lives go on
I will forgive in this life I live
I can’t forget, how do you cope with regrets?
This is the day that I’ll let my tears drain
I can’t waste my time, I’ll free my mind
Let our lives go on

Mania

[LYRICS]
Manic, we are endless
Fragmentation, distress
Hear us, feel us, free us, need us
Voices in your head
Manic, we are endless
Fragmentation, distress
Hear us, feel us, free us, need us
Voices in your head
Whispers turn into screams
Hurricane inside me
Future endless terrifying possibilities
Too awake, too alive
An overload of color
Bleeding red into my grey
The biting fear of consciousness
That anchors me to pain
Who am I amidst the chaos
Never ending storm inside
Ever moving, ever changing I don’t feel apart of time
Of time
Shattered echoes of life
Solace nowhere in sight
Breathless, shaking, sleepless, breaking
Who am I right now
Are you the now?
An overload of color
Bleeding red into my grey
The biting fear of consciousness
That anchors me to pain
Who am I amidst the chaos
Never ending storm inside
Ever moving, ever changing I don’t feel apart of time
I exist, I swear I exist
I am more than these images
More than these feelings
More than this pain
The question is
Just what am I?
Blackened dead stare
Formless nightmare
My face in the mirror
An overload of color
Bleeding red into my grey
The biting fear of consciousness
That anchors me to pain
Who am I amidst the chaos
Never ending storm inside
Ever moving, ever changing I don’t feel apart of time
An overload of color
Bleeding red into my grey
The biting fear of consciousness
That anchors me to pain
Mania, the discord growing
Not a melody inside
Never harmonizing with it, I don’t truly feel alive
Shattered echoes of life
Solace nowhere in sight
Breathless, shaking, sleepless, breaking
Who am I right now
Are you the now?

Power Take Hold
05:44
|

[LYRICS]
Over and over, over, over
Ride with the wind
Towards the sun and with might ascend
Ascend, ascend
Bury your fear and let power take hold
I’ve taken the long road
And though I must walk
It’s been such a site to behold in my time
From mountains to bedrock
I’ve roamed through this land
Carefree and wild
Untamed by one's hand
Forevermore
Through fire and ice
And the dark of the night
None have succeeded in
Fading my light
Nothing can stop me
I’ve conquered it all
I’ve flown ever high
Never to fall
Over and over I ride with the wind
Towards the sun, and with might, I ascend
With pride, I have found that the key to one’s soul
Is to bury your fear, and let power take hold
Through all my travels, I’ve met but a few
Who’ve envied the fire that colours my truth
And though they had voiced their disdain at my awe
They warned me my pride would lead my downfall
Would that I’d listened
I could’ve remained
A titan of victory
I wish I could go back
To the time I had more to see
Over and over I ride with the wind
Towards the sun, and with might, I ascend
With pride, I have found that the key to one’s soul
Is to bury your fear, and let power take hold
I couldn’t see it from afar
He couldn’t see it from afar
Afar
Now that I’ve seen the mistakes of my past
Could I rekindle the fire I lost
Over and over I ride with the wind
Towards the sun, and with might, I ascend
With pride, I have found that the key to one’s soul
Is to bury your fear, and let power take hold
Over and over I ride with the wind
Towards the sun, and with might, I ascend
With pride, I have found that the key to one’s soul
Is to bury your fear, and let power take hold
Power take hold

[LYRICS]
Say goodbye to what’s come to past
Wonder has gripped the imagination
Invention has inspired a new fascination
Unlocked within us, a fiery passion
Evolution energizes what’s to come
While we elegize the past
Beating future’s imminent drum
Say goodbye to what’s come to pass
Rapt by fear, the people will fall and lose
The future has proved a greater muse
Illumination lit the fuse, lit the fuse
Evolution energizes what’s to come
While we elegize the past
Beating future’s imminent drum
Say goodbye to what’s come to pass
At the edge of the pendulum,
Where did it go, this reflection, this sentiment?
Beating future’s imminent drum
Say goodbye to what has passed
Evolution energizes what’s come to pass
We elegize the past to day
Beating future’s imminent drum
Say goodbye to what has come to pass
Evolution energizes what's to come
While we elegize the past
Beating future's imminent drum,
Say goodbye to what's come to pass
Beating future's imminent drum
Evolution energizes what's to come
Beating future's imminent drum
Imagination
Say goodbye

The Eye of the Guardian
05:54

[LYRICS]
Feel the moment, the path lies straight ahead
Your closing in now
I watch your every step
My claws are sharp my gaze is cold
If you intrude you won't grow old, hear me roar
My legend's been foretold
I'm standing here
Watching the night, protecting the dearest
The eye of the guardian is vigilant, is diligent
When it seems like there's nothing left to do
Close your eyes and take a look inside
Nothing ever stays unseen forever, oh no
So let the feelings be your guiding light
Anticipation will become salvation
Close your eyes, open your mind
I feel the moment, the ease of your rest
Nothing will hurt you
I watch your every breath
My heart is pure, my soul is old
What lies beneath cannot be told
Hear my vow, these feelings will unfold
A plunge into darkness, a drop through the silence
The numbness is all I can feel
No hard felt emotion, no inner devotion
The void in my soul is so real
I am descending now,
Deeper down to the core
What is it you're looking for?
Here lies a hidden truth
A mother's song, an ancient lore
What is it you're wishing for?
My journey's ending
I will arise, I will ascend
Meaning is what your heart needs to mend
I'm standing here
Watching the night, protecting the dearest
The eye of the guardian is vigilant, is diligent
When it seems like there's nothing left to do
Close your eyes and take a look inside
Nothing ever stays unseen forever, oh no
So let the feelings be your guiding light
Anticipation will become salvation
When it seems like there's nothing left to do
Close your eyes and take a look inside
Nothing ever stays unseen forever, oh no
So let the feelings be your guiding light
Anticipation will become salvation
The eye of the guardian is vigilant, is diligent

[LYRICS]
God, tell me there’s a sky above
No matter what’s the price to pay
Oh, let me fight my dark side
Just let me go and show me what is love
Tell me there is nothing to lose
It’s done, let me go
There is nothing that we can do
We can’t fight all the odds
We must just hold
The tears we cry
Where’s the limit to fall
That’s where we all belong
Is there somewhere to crawl now
Some place where to hide
We can strive from within
On the climb to the deep core of life
God, tell me there’s a sky above
God, where is the sky above
No matter what’s the price to pay
And we will die for love again
Oh, let me fight my dark side
Just, just our last time goodbye
Just let me go and show me what is love
We can’t control but our lives
Tell me there is nothing to lose
And face another dark night
It’s done, let me go
In the name of life
There is nothing that we can do
We can’t fight all the odds
We must just hold
The tears we cry
Where’s the limit to fall
That’s where we all belong
To the deep core of life
Che sia vita o morte, che sia
God, tell me there’s a sky above
God, where is the sky above
No matter what’s the price to pay
And we will die for love again
Oh, let me fight my dark side
Just, our last time goodbye from love
Just let me go and show me what is love
We can’t control but our lives
And face another dark night
Trust there’s a sky above us
There’s a sky above us
Waiting
Longing for something
On the verge of the fall
On the climb to the deep core of life
Waiting
Longing for something
On the verge of the fall
On the climb to the deep core of life
Can we strain all our thoughts
Can we lose all our hopes
When there’s none above
This is false, we got hope
Can’t you see us above?

Illuminati
Fear the
Wrath of mortals
They never ever last
That’s the thing about empires
This one is built on sleight of hand
Its very nature is impermanence
You thought your suffocating grasp
On mankind's throat could last forever
Well, think again
You thought your reign would be eternal
If you could rule behind the curtains
Well, think again
The nature of your own deception
Is the downfall of your plan
Illuminati
Fear the
Wrath of mortals
Behold heaven ablaze
As pantheons fall
Under the
Wrath of mortals
The calm before the storm
We've reached the tipping point
A system out of balance
The laws of nature are your nemesis
You thought the world was in your hands
Now watch your castles turn to sand
And think again
You thought you had it figured out
Your new world order built to last
Well, think again
The very method to your madness
Is the downfall of your plan
Illuminati
Fear the
Wrath of mortals
Behold heaven ablaze
As pantheons fall
Under the
Wrath of mortals
Attain your goal
Supreme control
In this game of make-believe
Commit countless crimes
To become divine
In this game of make-believe
Then see your castles fall to ashes
In the game of make-believe
Illuminati
Fear the
Wrath of mortals
Behold heaven ablaze
As pantheons fall
Under the
Wrath of mortals
Illuminati
Fear the
Wrath of mortals

Tragic Serenade

[LYRICS]
I want you back
Why are you far from me?
I want you back
Where have you gone?
Desolate place
This abyss before me
Shadows surround me
I miss your starlight
Though it’s so sad
No turning back
The fear of loss is too strong
Better to be brave
Drown in the abyss
There’s no escape
Am I to blame?
What am I to do
Take this pain away
Through the abyss
Your starlight calls me back
I’m shining in the dark
No, it’s impossible
Yes, I will not despair
I still love you
I still miss you
Through the abyss
Through the abyss
Through the abyss now
Chained to our fears
And through the abyss
Look out for infinite days of
Pain and loss that never end
Into the abyss
So close we could touch
So lost and so unaware we
Share the same fate, hearts made of ice and fire
The time is now
But is it too late
The spark of love still shines for us?
So in the end
All we can do is
Hope to make contact
Through the abyss
