Falling faster through the sea of black Once I dreamt of everlasting light Where am I now? Where can all this be? Am I trapped inside my dreaming as it bleeds with me? Nightmares awake... Nightmares awake... Eternal nightfall I roam And I long for light of the dawn To save me from my fall Break the silence, holy land of god! Let me see behind these veils of light Land of the dead where the angels cry Where the sun is cold forever And the stars won't shine! Take me away... Take me away... Eternal nightfall I roam And I long for light of the dawn To save me from my fall

My fate must be to never see tomorrow Nothing is the way it used to be My nightmares are alive, they come to haunt me I hear them calling Clouds inside my mind, I see my fall Feel the fear, the fire burning my will to live on No more! As long as white resides inside black cages Heaven dressed in white is really hell Like brothers in the end we'll fall together As light as feather My sanity and I, should I despair? Watch the tears, come falling down Touching the ground they are heard forever As my life falls deep in sorrow Mine is not of flesh and blood In my dreams I've seen this place before Once a star to light my heart

Sweet child of dreams come forth I see you stand before me Born of light, to lead my soul Where the winds blow cold And hope revives Hear my call, shine on! The everlasting chase Goes on through roads of madness Deny me not, my curse and hope In this fear-grown place Come show your face Hear my call, shine on! Praise the sight of wisdom and might How I long to believe Words that say: "Kings will remain" Then my heart will no more grieve Still I see what used to be A dream of me, in sick and horrid color Howling winds now laugh and sing: "The dead man has your face and your desire" Praise the sight of wisdom and might How I long to believe Words that say: "Kings will remain" Then my heart will no more grieve Praise the sight of wisdom and might How I long to believe Words that say: "Kings will remain" Still my heart won't cease to chase

My king is dead A vision, fake Now, a truth leads me through darkness My anger reveals What I believe Sheep love to worship, and dream at night Fire unleashed upon the world I challenge god To claim his land Rain starts falling down upon me As silence comes Clearly I see Decades of madness, despair and lies Cries of war, within the night Death comes black, vengeance lies in my grasp Wrath grows strong and lasts forever Cast my name, fiery spirit insane Wounds won't heal, awake the shadows Grace your twilight! Now behold the end of all Death comes black, vengeance lies in my grasp Wrath grows strong and lasts forever Cast my name, fiery spirit insane Wounds won't heal, awake the shadows

The broken land revives, the spirits live and lift my shadow high to skies I've gazed for ages The flames are out and I remain inside the dream I want to leave Before my time has grown old Where does my path lead? What fate is yet to be revealed? Blazing the darkness The gloom I bear returns to me No hands divine have ever reached for me in life I walked alone And sole my cross I carried Before me shine the words of truth: "There is no godless soul alive Unless a god has passed out" My god is dead Gaze the skies and search for wisdom When my eyes have failed to foresee Blinded by the gods of treason I forlorn will forge my own soul In flames of my young heart All I am is what I dream Dreams will cease the shades of sundown Leaving tears and grief behind Bells will chime the end of silence Gaze the skies and search for wisdom When my eyes have failed to foresee Blinded by the gods of treason I forlorn will forge my own soul In flames of my young heart

Lay beside me now and leave your pain And let me be the blood within your veins We can leave this world if you dare To share with me the wings of light you bear When time has come Reaching for the stars We'll fly high where light is born Come along with me Lay beside me now and set me free And take away the darkness of this heaven For I am the beat of your heart The moments will be few to share before you die When time has come Remember we are dust and shadow For all our love, we have been so blind... Too blind to see...

Night and day become one Always yearning to be free Frozen mountains chase The eastern fires Burning the horizon Sunlight travels through the night Ages fall as I become eternal Where skies divide and eons arise Silence is so loud, darkness is pale Behold the signs, the changing of time Nightfall of my mind, dawn of my heart Realize the ways of life Realize, embrace your sorrow Where skies divide and eons arise Silence is so loud, darkness is pale Behold the signs, the changing of time Nightfall of my mind, dawn of my heart

Faith and lie, they walk side by side As the world dreams of salvation Wake and read between lines that bleed: "Life is blind without belief" Hear my scream! Your gods just deceive, Spreading sickness through the ages Strength makes fate, embrace what they hate Breathe with passion and create Sharp are my prophecies And painted black with sorrow Who dares to touch the fire? The flame is always hard to follow Nothing is meant to be "Forever" is a lie Who guides us from above? The truth is right in front of blind eyes Dishonour lies in heaven Our kingdom come Our will be done and lead us to look inside There lies the source of freedom

Long I have suffered the sirens Now in silence we part Wisdom prevails, tears will run dry From the void's womb, stars rise Sands of time will leave behind the vain and proud Tides will drown the faithful wise in times of dark Death is but nothing to blind crowds For they never have lived Life is a great toll of sorrow Bands can always be chains Deeds unknown divide our kind and draw the lines Thorns will kill the hands that spare their poison seeds Time burns fast, shades remain And dreams will fade away Ghosts will share sorrow tears When time is old, all hope's in vain Our hopes will be in vain...

I see light, the last to shine this silent night A whisper cold, is calling from the grave Far is home, where life has breath to call her own Where teardrops wet a face I used to know Now I yearn to reach the end Far I fly, beyond this life Eyes divine, in sorrow fake will watch me die The crack of dawn will find me cold and still Through the sky a raven black the last to fly In deadly scream will sign the end of time No more I will seek to find Places where my heart could lie Deep beneath the soil and land Far from all the pain and cries

Drained of tears, inside this hole, never will I trust fate Drained of fear, now that the void surrounds me All I see is dreams that fade away Dreams... eternal hope Dreams... I walk alone Be still my friend! A man must fall to rise a newly born Future and past, all have led you this moment Inside the dark you'll find the man you want to be Where's the fire? Where has the glory gone? Who am I now? What am I to become? We are the same For you and I have lived to see the light Turn into dark and the darkness turn to starlight Before the end, alone we'll live to see rebirth Chase the fire that lives in your heart Be free from your sorrow and follow my path No more nightmares haunting my days It's time for my journey to come to an end Time is fading Now will you come away with me through the ages? The light is close at hand For your eyes again to see through the night Dead lights shine again, I wake in life! Take me to the time I've left behind What lies ahead could be a life in vain And tomorrow will I face more than pain? Silence all your tears for the end that lies ahead Cause tomorrow you will face yourself Rain of fire! Once more the dreamer falls... Know the vision's face One that the mirror shows Now be reborn! Chase the fire that lives in your heart Be free from your sorrow and follow my path No more nightmares haunting my days It's time for my journey to come to an end
