STORM ON MY SIDE I saw the earth divided I saw the stars collapse Years and years of lies Now turned to wrath For much too long I’ve lingered The fire in my heart Visions of tomorrow Have turned to past I am the oath fulfilled And the answer to my prayers The fire of my ancient blood Will thunder down on fear I have followed Down the path That has led me now Now before you With a storm on my side With a storm in my grasp I DEFY YOU I am returning from the void Burning strong and bright like the sun I am becoming what I should have been Shadows of the past Set ablaze Years and years of lies Have turned to rust Visions of tomorrow Have turned to past Shadows and lights are gathered For much too long Became a poison that tears Every mans soul The wielder of the storm now Stands in your way Retreat or die hear Under the rain I have followed Down the path That has led me now Now before you With a storm on my side With a storm in my grasp I DEFY YOU

ACROSS THE RIVER I stand alone on the banks of this river Watching reflections of dreams and of dreamers I see faces with tears trying to hide But life is a burden no one can deny And dreams we are hiding, not a word dare to speak With death we bargain, our years to keep Some people imagine some stand confused… Some people denying and some dying too soon Come join us in this side of pain and dark fever Where all they must leave but forever they linger With notes made of dreams, with visions of fire Some blood stains the strings, you can’t call me a liar You’re no immortal my friend Your season will end as well Don’t go, don’t be alone Don’t let your blood run cold Stay here, stay with me Let our sun set you free See the shadows passing by Sad figures of your light A tear I see, drips from the sky Let’s all stand together while love conquers time Come join me here, and sit by my side Look in these waters, don’t speak for a while Give a moment to think, be silent to hear These waters are hiding the marching of years Cause no one among us is a tale carved in stone Past can’t contain or create us alone… Come join us in this side of pain and dark fever Where all they must leave but forever they linger With notes made of dreams, with visions of fire Some blood stains the strings, you can’t call me a liar You’re no immortal my friend Your season will end as well Don’t go, don’t be alone Don’t let your blood run cold Stay here, stay with me Let our sun set you free See the shadows passing by Sad figures of your light A father is holding his son by his hand And why, I wonder, he is gazing the stars And time goes by, why should he stay at your side? A river never turns What has a start must have an end… Embrace that Join the river of our life So no act to be in vain And remember, a river always returns as rain… Come join us in this side of pain and dark fever Where all they must leave but forever they linger With notes made of dreams, with visions of fire Some blood stains the strings, you can’t call me a liar You’re no immortal my friend Your season will end as well Don’t go, don’t be alone Don’t let your blood run cold Stay here, stay with me Let our sun set you free See the shadows passing by Sad figures of your light

A SUNSET OF OUR OWN I wish I had the power To turn darkness into day I wish I had more things to say But I’ve never really seen your face Until today I thought Since yesterday as I was told Maybe tomorrow I’ll meet you in a song Just sleep and the road goes on… I can’t see and I can’t dream The darkness must have grown See the stars their light is dimmed In this sunset of our own This age is passing and the days are turning cold But here I am still laughing and still longing for the storm And though the oath is fading and this telling might be wrong Under the rain a promise given, to wait under the storm And I dreamed of you again And I grand myself this end And in thousands faces searched While time with hope I tried to bend Sunset in these times, a gathering of lies A sunset of an oath, a sunset of our own A fate with no face, a hunt without a prey A sunset of an oath, a sunset of our own And the dream appeared again You know…, I wanted to be told Stand up and let me show you What I wish you knew before The bridges burned and fallen, the towers crack and fall The earth is shaking, the towers crack and fall And the wind is laughing Is this what you’ve been waiting for? Faceless and nameless you are So take form under the stars This is my command And the man across the river laughed And so this telling must stay unfinished Just for hope to stand a chance And though our roads might be so different… Maybe future can rewrite the past.

MORNING STAR Beside the waves, the helpless fights As the sun sets, the morning star arises Morning star arise, in the night to show us where you hide… The gods we denied, as deaf and blind The power to seek, the courage to find Turn the wheel, grind the last Try harder, follow the sun Your shiny eyes, reflect the end The salt of the earth, the blood of men Like the sun before the fall, one faith built for war Alone through the stars I walk An orphan of a dying world I AM A father to a murdered son I AM I will survive the night, I will have my dawn Like the sun before the fall, one faith built for war Alone through the stars I walk An orphan of a dying world I AM A father to a murdered son I AM I’m not the sun I’m just a star… I’ll kill you where you stand Just the time before the dawn My faith lost, the ocean calls Conquer murder just to face war Worship the night just to hope for dawn.

ANGEL OF THE DEEP The stars call for me The chance is at hand As I reach for something new Dark times again for me and you One by one the faces pass On a barren mind can’t lay your trust Does anyone knows you’re here Can you speak my name? Name the figures that I see Don’t leave me here Again on this day Will you follow me? Find what I seek Reach the end with me At last here we are I was here once Before but no more Walk this road alone Faces are nothing But thoughts unconcluded Look into my eyes, see the emptiness inside No one will cry If the seeds never grow And the fields remain as dead as your heart Who do you think Will care for your words? Something is alive, who’s there in my world? I don't know you With these wings that you bear All things will matter Right there at the end Sad little king of your sad little hill All things will matter Right there at the end As I reach for something new Dark times again for me and you One by one the faces pass On a barren mind can’t lay your trust Do you feel controlled? Feel the evil inside you Shadows form your face I won’t leave without you Again on this day Will you follow me? Find what I seek Reach the end with me At last here we are I was here once Before but no more Walk this road alone

THE ROAD TO NOWHERE The bells, the stars, the winds Can you feel it, it’s the time The beam is strong, their lie is born A silent weapon of a quiet war… Cover the earth, black clouds hide our sun Celebrate death, the machines of an age to come… The one, that the light will be his shadow The last, whose eyes will burn like the sun The words are spoken, as it had been told The watcher makes his offer, braver than he ever was A child heard their cries, and a distant faded song Violent and strange, found shelter in his heart When reality was blend for one and only time With real fantasy with myth and life There was our chance to touch the creation of the stars The light was shining in our eyes but flames arrived at dusk In the shadow of the sun the darkness is complete Healing hands of hungry pawns In this age of kings, in this trail of tears The armies are assembled again The ending drawing near All you Eternal soldiers in a silent, secret war Both good and bad the seeds grew and blossom From the same blood they fed, our hopes it’s time to gather For the song ends in every shore and our child is so lonely You can’t save your soul on this road leading nowhere Don’t close your eyes on this road to nowhere So sweet the lie So absolute the light In hatred he’ll reign Hiding by his name

EASTERN PATH Once by the sea Waiting for the sun To come for me Make this crimson dawn reality The depths called for me In their dark embrace From these skies with no sun I turned my face It’s so cold And I’m alone On these shores I’ve been before On this land One sunless dawn Is where I lost my road To the day That never ends From the path that none have seen Under this star That never sets It’s not my sun this burning star I’m in the dark The flame is dead I’ve reached the end This path, this dark Blinding dark This desert will never set me free. For the eastern path From the land to my heart To the eastern path To the birth of the sun In my mind the waves keep returning I still hear their sound So one day the desert will be over I’ll start again Leave the sea behind me And hunt for the sun Again... Deep in the sea Or high in the sky Where the blue turns to black And your thoughts try to hide There in the dark Lies the last spark of light A tear of the sun The crown of the night I’m in the dark The flame is dead I’ve reached the end This path, this dark Blinding dark This desert will never set me free. For the eastern path From the land to my heart To the eastern path To the birth of the sun

A DISTANT SUN I’ve been here for millions of years I’ve watched you grow through frozen years I saw the waves, the tides of time I’ve seen you count the stars with newborn eyes I’ve witnessed heroes rise through blood Until steel is turned to rust I saw dreams light the night Just to make men believe in lies Forgiveness is not my gift to you Your truth is just another game Good and evil are my tools When you pave your road with pain Blood cannot be washed by blood But only blood gives birth to blood One soul of you will come to me The one I’ll burn my hand will be I’ll be always here Alone you’ll never be And when you fall and reach the end I’ll start the circle once again Your history is your scar A birthmark that never fades It echoes throughout the stars You cannot make it go away Blood cannot be washed by blood But only blood gives birth to blood One soul of you will come to me The one I’ll burn my hand will be Forgiveness is not my gift to you Your truth is just another game Good and evil are my tools When you pave your road with pain Take a look at your past The trails are there carved in stone Ask the stars, they know the truth It was you who gave them names You can’t hide who you are Take a look at my face I’m your mirror of truth But in your myths I’ll hide my names Which road which path will you take The patterns are numbered and always the same A mountains birth is to rise from the sea Our dreams and our gods just a distant sun Our home a distant sun I’ve been here for millions of years I’ve watched you grow through frozen years I saw the waves, the tides of time I’ve seen you count the stars with newborn eyes Forgiveness is not my gift to you Your truth is just another game Good and evil are my tools When you pave your road with pain
