The untrodden road
05:45
|
|||
tearing down the walls
of a golden cage
slave to forgeries
never did I know
reaching for the sun
I know that there is one
he’s got many names
they won’t tell you
the older i become
the deeper (the) mystery
none will tell…
it is the time to leave
to take the untrodden road
a night for all the dreams
to be revealed
it is the time to leave
to take the untrodden road
a night for you and me
to leave this host of ghosts
each and every day
longing for her glance
she’s got many names
I knew them all then
she has promised me
more than I can take
will I ever step out of madness
the older i become
the deeper (the) mystery
none will tell…
It is the time to leave
to take the untrodden road
a night for all the dreams
to be revealed
it is the time to leave
to take the untrodden road
a night for you and me
to leave this host of ghosts
host of… ghosts!host of… ghosts!host of… ghosts!
It is the time to leave
to take the untrodden road
wherever it may lead
It is the time to leave
to take the untrodden road
a night for all the dreams
to be revealed
it is the time to leave
to take the untrodden road
a night for you and me
to leave these ghosts behind…

Master of the loss
04:18
|
|||
all you see through my eyes
knows no death no corruption
all you hear through my voice
is the strains of the absolute
leave all behind
will you?
old is thy dream
older thy memories
all I see through your eyes
it bespeaks melancholy
all I feel as you tremble
is the earth cracking down
leave all behind
will you?
old is thy dream
older thy memories
old is thy dream
truths you cannot seize
as seasons come and go
a lifeless glance in you
the promise unfulfilled
no wisdom to share in
as seasons come and go
a lifeless sea to cross
you’re master of the loss
old is thy dream
older thy memories
old is thy dream
truths you cannot seize
or cannot see?

Veils of grey
03:20
|
|||
hushing the voice
that’s luring me there
where it began to never end
I sought your face
and craved for more
more than I could handle
in a million years
a million years…
can you see
through the veils of grey that fall on us
can you see when the night is closing in on you
like a nameless god
like a nameless god
the night is closing in
will it bring rest at last?
joys of yesteryear
and sorrows entwine
like woven threads
the trails I walk
I was seeking your face
in an empty frame,
I found your eyes
in a billion starsa billion stars…
can you see
through the veils of grey that fall on us
can you see when the night is closing in on you
like a nameless god
can you see
through the veils of grey that fall on us
can you see when the night is closing in on you
can you see
through the veils of grey that fall on us
can you see when the night is closing in on us
like a nameless god

The fifth season
04:34
|
|||
a fire burns in sight
as men they rest at night
and winds abate on our fate
a city cries in pain
its memories washed by rain
don’t turn away, behold the end
just hand in hand with me
daylight comes
anew
beginning or the end
We’ve come to witness
a season
that Time forgot
so after all these years
is there room left for fears?
I sit and wait, on my own
counting the grains of sand
mapping the stars at night
can’t turn away, give up my duties
the fifth season’s at hand
daylight comes
anew
beginning or the end
we’ve come to witness
a season
that Time forgot
we’d built towers in our dreams
but failed to sleep… ever… since
and down the line of memory
we crossed over virgin spaces
life and death became one
daylight comes
anew
beginning or the end
we’ve come to witness
a season
that Time forgot
a fire burns in sight
as men they rest at night
and winds abate
on our fate

Adrift
03:45
|
|||
the word has been told
and fates have been sealed
they will be sent adrift
undoing the bonds
meant not to be broken
blame it on frailty
from the days of the past
a prophecy will be fulfilled
your days won’t last
the future it is revealed
the words of the blessed
they cannot be cheated
you can’t hide, oh no
days passing by
no worries in sight
deep down you know they’ll come at you
from the days of the past
a prophecy will be fulfilled
your days won’t last
the future it was revealed
days of the past
a prophecy will they fulfil
days of the morrow
Argos awaits the return
from the days of the past
a prophecy will be fulfilled y
our days won’t last
the future it was revealed
days of the past
a prophecy will they fulfil
days of the morrow
Argos awaits the return

Before the fall
05:02
|
|||
back on track again
moving cautiously
rain is dribbling it tastes like ancient tears
all have failed before
all got lost somewhere
you will pay no heed
and see the strangest things
an echo summons you
through empty halls and sunken lands
a moonbeam frames the way
you know you’ve got a fire in you
generating chaos anew
but will it ease the burden you share?
"I have chosen the way
the way’s chosen me
a twisted fate…”
here and now see again
the workings of decay
for a world just like this
has been time and again
a glowing in the night
the thread of shattered dreams ahead
colossuses I see
as tokens of a vanished time
kneeling down you grab their dust
(and) think of the day the knell was heard
here and now see again
the workings of decay
for a world just like this
has been time and again
“oh, twisted fate of mine
creation and destruction
oh, twisted fate of mine
let all the days turn into night”
no voice could ever tell
no hand could ever draw
what it was like before the fall
“I have chosen the way
the way’s chosen me
a twisted fate…”
here and now see again
the workings of decay
for a world just like this
has been time and again

Star-driven
03:08
|
|||
solemn stars
lead me through
the continuum
of the feeble matter
I’m chasing dreams or were they nightmares
I was bound to lose it all
and walk along the stream of misery
but my name would be even bigger
once everything I had
was lost to me and
shattered were the dreams we shared
solemn stars
lead me through
the continuum
of the feeble matter
solemn stars
can you weep
ye who bear the names of ancient lore
and promises of bliss
the dreams I had are chasing me
the house I built is crumbling down
but deep inside I know they’ll turn it in
a shelter for the voiceless ones
and for their wounds to heal at last
where the roads of the fallen ones meet again
cold and mute you wait and see
the crystal tears we shed
solemn starslead me throughthe continuum
of the feeble matter
solemn stars
can you weep
ye who bear the names of ancient lore
and promises of bliss

The forgery
04:02
|
|||
back then
it was a time of need
of blinding ignorance
an endless sleep of minds
with time
the laws of earth and sky,
(and) the workings of the sea
ceased to be arcane
breathing the dreams
no one had dared
to look into - never!
giving mankind the spark to ignite
all its dreams
nameless I’ve become
a fallen hero, nothing more
forever and a day
watch me fall in solitude
voiceless I’ve become
watch me fall
Father!
where were you when they lied
and tried me for their sins?
‘the days of wrath draw near’
Fire!
come light the deepest night
and cleanse the wicked souls
‘the storm is yet to come…’
breathing the dreams
no one had dared
to look into - never!
I gave mankind the spark to ignite
all its dreams
nameless I’ve become
a fallen hero, nothing more
forever and a day
watch me fall in solitude
voiceless I’ve become
watch me fall
when the oceans of time
and the ink of the bards alike
will have dried up forever,
whose song will be heard?
nameless I’ve become
a fallen hero, nothing more
forever and a day
watch me fall in solitude
voiceless I’ve become
watch me fall

The house by the grove
05:41
|
|||
there’s a stream to the left of the grove
out of nowhere, no end to it
there’s a house to the right of the grove
in your dreams you’ve seen it already
you know you have
[oh!]
do you dare
move ahead
either way
there’s a force that’s luring
you ahead
a mystique strain
“you’ve come a long way to be here
far from the common path
on this dark day
I have been waiting a long time
not knowing if you’d come
to meet with your own fate”
there’s an old man
in sight passing by
in his eyes a trembling
light of hope
he’s known you
since the day you were born
(and) walked alone
ever since to this day
unbeknown to you
his face and yours
are very much alike
oh… much alike
his silhouette
a perfect match, perfect match
oh… it can’t be real
“you’ve come a long way to be here
far from the common path
on this dark day
I have been waiting a long time
not knowing if you’d come
to meet with your own fate”
