Once I dreamt in quiet silent seconds Vanguards of another restless spin Once I dreamt and fell and realized What lies before, still lies ahead What lies before, still lies ahead They are lurking in the shadows, in the vales In the fires and the mold Creeping ever closer As a new day would unfold In the velvet of the dark, I know They lie in waiting Change was slow in coming but was eager on the wane Soon turned into doubt that it all will stay the same In the velvet of the night, I know They are waiting But where to go? From the top of the world to the end of the sea From the morning all through the night I did recoil the days of yearning And set fire to the rain Washed my hands in rivers clear Unbinding all restraint But in the blinding of the stars, I know They lie in waiting Now cast them silhouettes into the fire! Clinging to a ledge Flaming circle of my days I abhor this maze I built myself to wander Stay? astray? Now where to go? From the top of the world to the end of the sea From the morning all through the night I will stand forever From the top of the world to the end of the sea From the morning all through the night I am standing on the edge of the world Deep in the soul lies a feverish maybe Song of thousand tongues and beguiling tone Neither pure or even salient Touch my heart and turn to stone And time will come Time will tell Time is blessing - time is hell Horizons lead to new horizons I am here, hanging on I am the shadows I am the sun I am the shadows I am the sun Where to now? no defenses Tightrope gone - defy or run The yawning chasm The dark eternal Pounding heart and then Who are you? Who are you? When the night is long? Who are you? Who are you? Whenever in your dread and weary In hours of disbelief Whatever path you will never tread Below the vast massif And in the hours of depletion When all you know will just fatigue When in the garden of your reveries All dreams will faint away Come hear I′d like to believe I am braver than this But I still have no trust in you And in the hour of forgiving When the world lies lost in sleep Whatever path you did never tread Still lies before, still lies ahead I'd like to believe I am braver than this But I still have no trust in you I′d like to believe I am stronger than this From darkness into the light From the top of the world to the end of the sea From the top of the world to the end of the sea Where to go? no defenses Tightrope gone - defy or run The yawning chasm The dark eternal Pounding heart and then Who are you? Who are you? When the night is long? Who are you? Who are you? In the velvet of the night Once I dreamt in quiet silent seconds Vanguards of another restless spin Once I dreamt and fell and realized What lies before, still lies ahead

Arise from ago From the depths I fear This will not end here Dwelling on a shallow dream Now come to pass Word transpired in moonlit shadows Waves, and they collide We all know of the gathering storm Hide and praise your eidolon Shed tears across the sea I see what you cannot see The fire grows higher Burning in the wind I AM YOUR TORMENT Dark is the past The days and years This will not end here Dwelling on a shallow dream But all-out I go It′ll come wind-torn, riven sail - you and me We all know of the gathering storm Now hide and praise your eidolon And keep feeding the fire Shed tears across the sea And fires grow higher Burning in the wind So you garnered all the ire and grief of the world What more hindrance will be cast upon the paths I walk Thrown upon these seas wherein I drown Just another prick of a thorn Screaming at the top of my lungs I am here Tempting fate You know nothing of me! Rest now oh troubled mind Waveless Be calm now weary soul Uncover I know of a place where the world is still I know of a place of awakening I know of a place I wish you'd see I know of a place always beckoning me I AM YOUR TORMENT I AM YOUR TORMENT

Dreaming of the sun Early in the morning A way to come undone like Tides are sinking in Have been maundering for miles Loopholed and back again Trying to hold the line Only for it to be There is more than eyes can see beyond the endless sea Embrace the open wide In the shallows, in the depths and in your misery Unhide the secret light All the boats we′ve missed are passing by time and again Clinging on, both feet upon the ground And we toss and turn the probable and infinite In shackles, chained, failing not to drown There is more than eyes can see beyond the endless sea Embrace the open wide In the shallows, in the depths and in your misery Unhide the secret light And I am drifting on a dream to swim the open seas Embrace the open wide And I'm drifting on the need to rise and dive beneath Unhide a secret light There is more than eyes can see Beyond the endless sea In the shallows In the depths And in your misery Unhide your secret light Keep drifting on The dream to swim the open seas In the shallows In the depths And in your misery Hide it hide it in a daydream before morning comes Hide it hide it in the deepest caves no one shall see Hide it hide it in a vault before the day will seize Hide it hide it in a daydream Hide it hide it in a daydream before morning comes Hide it hide it in the deepest caves no one shall see Hide it hide it in a vault before the day will seize Hide it hide it in a daydream No one knows your dreams

There is more than meets the eye When day turns dim And slumber murmurs incantations Bearer of another restless spin Why am I deprived of my inmost craving? Speak now! tormentor of soul Arose from the dead in wintertide apparition Shrouded in nocturnal garb and haze Emerged from dark, without a trace or premonition A timeworn wound with angelic face There is part in you keeps holding on And can′t let go Forever your aching heart No need to dwell upon a memory in vertigo Tomorrow we are worlds apart Arise with the night tide! Abide the coming storm ... so the days grew long and low and the flames they severed Fleeting image on a forsaken throne Why do I keep dwelling on this leash all tethered? Rid the chains and turn the eye to the sun Rose from the dead in wintertide apparition Shrouded in nocturnal garb and haze Emerged from dark, without a trace or premonition A timeworn wound with enchanting face There is part in you keeps holding on And can't let go Forever your aching heart No need to dwell upon a memory in vertigo Tomorrow we are worlds apart Behold! ABIDE THE STORM In my wilderness forsaken Whispers of the storm All the waters I did dwell All the rivers I cried All the oceans of the world Are ending here under fiery sky Those days are gone forever Daunting patterns Endless spiral Come oh morning light Come and rid me of this maze I made myself to wander in clandestine Revenant dreams from the other side In my wilderness forsaken In the calm before the storm The calm before the storm (Now) have we been mistaken Where do we belong? In the wilderness forsaken Where do we belong? In the calm before the storm Now have I been mistaken Where do we belong? In the calm before the storm Rises with the night tide Abide the coming storm Shred into pieces The circle of the snake Exhale the venom Give away the stone Rise with the night tide Abide the coming storm There is part in you keeps holding on And can′t let go Forever your aching heart No need to dwell upon a memory in vertigo Tomorrow we are worlds apart There is part in you keeps holding on And can't let go Forever your aching heart No need to dwell upon a memory in vertigo Tomorrow we are worlds apart

Tell me all about the place beyond the island′s coast Past the marshes, on the far side of the pines Forlorn for days 'til out of sight Swept in the undertide I remember staring straight into the shining sun The outer distance being all the same Blinded eyes in no man′s land Will return one day I know it will The waves are coming in I truly want to know The dreams that will reside when the night is ending Sorrow sinking in And all I want to know If we can find a different ending There's a beacon, I remember, at headland's peek Ever firing hopes high up the sky Now blinded eyes in no man′s land Will return one day I know you will The waves are coming in and I truly want to know The dreams that will reside when the night is ending Sorrow sinking in and all I wanna to know If we can find a different ending Waves are coming in and all I want to know What you dream about when the night is ending Sorrow sinking in and all I wanna to know What you dream about when the night is ending The waves are coming in and all I wanna know What dream will reside when the night is ending Sorrow sinking in and all I wanna to know If we can find a different ending Now let the shadows in And all I wanna know I′m dreaming on the outside What you dream about when the night is ending Dreaming on the inside Sorrow sinking in and all I wanna to know Now let the shadows in What you dream about when the night is ending We are what we see and the demons we create From the rivers to the sea we are what we see Waves are coming Dreams they're ending Sinking in deep In our ocean Disappearing Longhope fading

When I am down at the riverbed What if I gave all to the watershed? I′d be swept away by an inner tide I wonder When I am down at the riverbed What if I gave all to the watershed? And no one knows my dreams tonight Forever Pushing through This is what you wanted Nine days and wearing thin Reaching out and reaching in Shedding skin Have you ever wondered (have you ever wondered) How life's beyond the safe side? The many years you squandered Being pulled by an inner tide Spit it out Obliterate the scheme Peel the layers piece by piece Spit it out From fountain to a stream Percolating drops A river soon to be Now have you ever wondered Swaying at the anchors while your fleet has run aground? Is this what you really wanted Keep steering by the stars in the lacuna of your heart? You shall never reach the open sea You shall never reach the open sea You shall never reach the open sea You shall never reach the open sea When I am down at the riverbed What if I gave all to the watershed? I′d be swept away by an inner tide Forever When I am down at the riverbed What if I gave all to the watershed? I'd be swept away by an inner tide Forever When I am down at the riverbed What if I gave all to the watershed? No one will notice my dreams tonight No one will notice my dreams tonight No one will notice my dreams tonight Forever

Down in the valley of your fears In the garden of your doubts Where the embers of your belief(s) fade out Lies a seed anew to sprout Take this leap Keep running all the way and up these hills There′s a shimmer in the darkest firmament The end of your bewilderment We are deep in this together now Our paths they did collide Whatever winds may hit our prow Regrets they will subside And we're heading off to somewhere new The dawning of the day Deep in this together now Now come and lead the way Turn your eyes and Linger not, a distant ringing of a bell We are more than just a memory In the cold black sea The end of our bewilderment In the sea Where it all began Will rise High hopes lie sleeping In the sea Where it all began we will thrive I see you now Afloat We are deep in this together now Our paths they did collide Whatever winds may hit our prow Regrets they will subside And we turn our heads to somewhere new In the dawning of the day We′re deep in this together now Now come and lead the way In the dark it dwells In foregone lore From the shadows will rise A blackened sore The fires melt our fortitude We are here, stand tall now Brave and resolute! In the waves we are Higher hopes In the waves we are Higher dreams In the waves we are Higher hopes In the waves we are Higher dreams

Night lurking Dreams still awake I know at dawn it′ll ease away Dreams for oceans Haul me out to sea Afar from here is where I long to be Eyes lurking Dream nevermore Raven light and hollow lore Call for oceans Haul me out to sea Afar from here is where I long to be Where I long to be And the brook in it's torment cries No drop nor tear for all had dried We will never reach the saving tide Dreams are ocean Hauling me out to see Afar from here is where I long to be
