1.
THE END OF THE LANE LYRICS: Born unto thee a world without protection Thrust into the sun without your reflection Helpless, seeking aid, a well of destruction The ocean at the end of the lane reveals your downfall Your heart is so closed to me You won't believe what I've spelt for you Every single mountain climbed, never enough for him Never for you
2.
THE WITCHENING LYRICS: Fighting emptiness inside Into nothingness collide Bring me the night Closer to the rite There is nothing left for me You are all you said you’d be Witches knelt by fever swear Into nothing of despair Masses of malediction A righteous form of infliction Fighting emptiness inside Into nothingness collide Bring me the night Closer to the rite There is nothing left for me You are all you said you’d be Witches knelt by fever swear Into nothing of despair Masses of malediction A righteous form of infliction
3.
DREAM HUNTERS LYRICS: Wake up It’s only a dream Feel your heart burst at the seams I tell you this is the truth But you can’t see me I’m just the fates, it’s your destiny Tell him it’s destruction Tell him it’s delirium Tell him it’s just desire Tell him his realm is on fire No more lies No more alibis of obsession I’m taking back a tale of despair Can you see through the lies of the endless? Without hope, without death There would be nothing for you to dream of In the hopes of hell In the hopes of heaven Without hope, without death And so we end this dream, leading you back home And so we end this dream, leading you back home
4.
Hyperion 04:12
HYPERION LYRICS: This is the right of times divided This is the shrike of all ignited No one can hear you now Within the heart of all that dies Are you suffering? For a man who promised you naught Are you healing? Within the chamber in which you rot Choose again, choose again This is not the end This is not the end Every moment is meant for so much more Every ounce of hatred easy to ignore When you look into the sun You will hear Apollo’s song
5.
Eclipse 05:34
ECLIPSE LYRICS: Born under the tree of corpse Raised with a sword in his hand Mercenary temporary Until the Band of the Falcon found him One hundred men Killed in her honor The way she looked at you The way she looked at him And so that day you drew your blade And you decided to walk away Captured and jailed A tiny life given for him to live A strange rumor A tortured hawk And so he fights his way back This is my sacrifice For the castle in the clouds For this dream I take all of you Don’t come near, don’t come near All your comrades Ripped away from this mortal plane Beastly frenzy Godhand ready The eclipse has started again You’ve been branded The mark of the sacrifice Mark of the sacrifice Skull Knight His sword shines bright This is my sacrifice For the castle in the clouds For this dream I take all of you Don’t come near, don’t come near
6.
Awakened 04:12
AWAKENED LYRICS: From that day you looked at me And my whole world melted away Trapped inside helpless Set me free Let me learn how to live How to live From the first time You shielded me with comfort and warmth I looked to you like a goddess With a faint sweet smile I saw in you what I saw in me Loneliness There isn’t a day that goes by When I don’t sit and remember The way you looked upon that hill When she slaughtered you I tried to scream, I tried to run But my body froze still As she flew away into the sun And I cradled you
7.
The Chantry 05:41
THE CHANTRY LYRICS: See you at the chant of light Be there with the hope in your eyes Sunrise gone wrong Hivernal waits on his throne Searching for the conquered one Led by fate, the call for home Call for home Pick up your steel, ancients forsworn A hollow life, void of heart and home Black boiled tears, magic gone wrong Within your fears, all alone inside The pillar of my pride See you at the chant of light Magic inside of us grays out my vision Floating dust, remanent of must Beneath the walls lies secrets Unknown patterns of life Pick up your steel, ancients forsworn A hollow life, void of heart and home Black boiled tears, magic gone wrong Within your fears, all alone inside The pillar of my pride
8.
TELEVATORS LYRICS: Just as he hit the ground They lowered a tow that Stuck in his neck to the gills Fragments of sobriquets Riddle me this Three half-eaten corneas Who hit the aureole Stalk the ground Stalk the ground You should have seen The curse that flew right by you Page of concrete Stained walks, crutch in hobbled sway Auto-da-fé A capillary hint of red Only this manupod, crescent in shape, has escaped The house half the way Fell empty with teeth That split both his lips Mark these words One day this chalk outline will circle this city Was he robbed of the asphalt That cushioned his face? A room-colored charlatan hid in a safe Stalk the ground Stalk the ground You should have seen The curse that flew right by you Page of concrete Stained walks, crutch in hobbled sway Auto-da-fé A capillary hint of red Only this manupod, crescent in shape, has escaped Pull the pins (pull the pins) Save your grace (save your grace) Mark these words (mark these words) On his grave (on his grave) Pull the pins (pull the pins) Save your grace (save your grace) Mark these words (mark these words) On his grave (on his grave) Pull the pins (pull the pins) Save your grace (save your grace) Mark these words (mark these words) On his grave (on his grave) You should have seen The curse that flew right by you Page of concrete Stained walks, crutch in hobbled sway Auto-da-fé A capillary hint of red Everyone knows the last toes are always the coldest to go
