Raft of the World

They follow the path of illusions Next to the river of life Unwilling to search for a new way to go They are walking the way of delusions They are blinded by fear and disgrace Until they will fall into the unknown Fire across the sky Towards the end We have gathered here to die As you wake up from times of denying And open your eyes to this world The life that you know will be in the past Loose your grip Let it go You will be in the inferno that you grow Our hopes has been shattered and gone by the wind Fire across the sky Toward the end We have gathered here to die I see the imminent doom Our fate has been sealed And all we know Is laid to waste The thunder will break through the silence The fire will spread through the dark The water will flood every part of this world The beckon of death is in motion Destruction of man is at hand We seize to exist just ashes remains Fire across the sky Toward the end We have gathered here to die

Built to remain, burns down again Now you’re like ashes in the rain When time is due, for all of you This is your time of congregation All these words filled with lies In a time when nature cries Now your ending has begun The flood turns red When time has bled This is the last of generations Surrender Give up the dreams that once helped build your kingdom The world you know is gone forever You’re blinded by the light and bound to fall The sun will burn us all The world you’ve known for so long And now it’s gone All you can do is wait it out The time will tell Heaven or hell Eternity was just a lifetime Surrender Give up the dreams that once helped build your kingdom The world you know is gone forever You’re blinded by the light and bound to fall The sun will burn us all

I searched a life away from here Away from the dust And so far out of this world I searched a place where I’d be free Over the clouds Out where the stars arise My fate was carved into the stone Led me back to the start By the voice I trusted the most Now I’m caught in this place They sent me to death I will pay with my life For taking the fight for all of you Under the gallows they’re calling my name Closing my eyes but it all looks the same Why won’t you release me I see the world that I know fade away There’s a new dawn arise in the shade Where’s my place to be free Let my spirit leave this world Let my final words be heard I will never return I’m a part of the past My body, my temple, dissolve into dust Under the gallows they’re calling my name Closing my eyes but it all looks the same Why won’t you release me I see the world that I know fade away There’s a new dawn arise in the shade Where’s my place to be free

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Time has left it all within the ground Nothing left to see, nothing else to be found The painted sky got pushed into the dark When it was taken down by mans deceiving art A light to show the way A life from yesterday Time has left us all behind In a never ending dusk Sleeping under a coat of dust Time has left us all behind For a thousand years to go Until we rise up from below From the highlands to the valley down below A secret message written on the walls of stone A light to show the way A life from yesterday Time has left us all behind In a never ending dusk Sleeping under a coat of dust Time has left us all behind For a thousand years to go Until we rise up from below A feeling of death lingers all around It shows in your eyes It sets in your mind It keeps moving on Still after you’ve been here When nothing is gone What is there to fear Time has left us all behind In a never ending dusk Sleeping under a coat of dust Time has left us all behind For a thousand years to go Until we rise up from below

We sat on a lonely mountain And looked at the world Surrounded by winds to guide us To where we once were The past shows another story As to what we have learned The dawn brings another glory Than the one we have yearned The end has been put in motion It’s all passing by It’s all coming down from a crack in the sky Before us a strike of lightning A blaze in the hearth, it all starts to burn Come closer the far horizon We’re pushed off the edge with nowhere to turn The water is climbing higher And the sky is awake We’re struck by a deadly silence No more can we take Look at the dead surroundings And hold your last breath As we jump inside the fire And embrace the death The end has been put in motion It’s all passing by It’s all coming down from a crack in the sky Before us a strike of lightning A blaze in the hearth, it all starts to burn Come closer the far horizon We’re pushed off the edge with nowhere to turn

Setting course to reach another shore With intension to sail evermore Keeping up the pace to reach our goal Howling winds are here to take control Caught in the dark, the ocean sings A deadly spark comes from within We’re falling in, it’s reaching out One last impetuous ride beyond the light We’re moving slow But one place to go Now we’re heading down below What was made to last Left us on a raft Will we ever get the chance We ride the wind across the sea Through the night We’re gonna live up to the dream We ride the wind across the sea Through the night We’re gonna live up to the dream Caught in the dark, the ocean sings A deadly spark comes from within We’re falling in, it’s reaching out One last impetuous ride beyond the light We’re moving slow But one place to go Now we’re heading down below What was made to last Left us on a raft Will we ever get the chance We ride the wind across the sea Through the night We’re gonna live up to the dream We ride the wind across the sea Through the night We’re gonna live up to the dream

Take a step in the water Water of unknown Let it take your soul way down below Toss a coin in a fountain Try to see when you’re blind A way to tell you that it’s time One coin in a fountain One wish on its own One chance to reach the skies above Sun is stepping down Night will take its place I close my eyes to be its prey Waking up on the inside Creeping up from a dent Now turn the page on what it meant One coin in a fountain One wish on its own One chance to reach the skies above And let your vision shine a light To a place amongst the wild Let it turn you inside out
