For Aeons Past

Left to devices All of my own innovation To the screaming end Of what has always been Whenever the dying is calling I will go To last reasons jagged edge Now I know for what I am Is wrong again Out by the ledge Out of reach Further now to A close beyond Why are we trying to live When all we know Is just how to die Left to abide defeat In the long gone past Not knowing this might be What will tip the scales Still nothing will fail me As I am going through The line simply Must be crossed Now I know for what I am Is wrong again I hear the dark Smell the fear Nil at hand But a close beyond I never brought anybody To where our faith is gone I am the last unrepentence Bringing down the hail Of storm and fire Now for once I am on my own Must make a final decision Against this driving force Or else I will find it All in vain I never asked to be challenged The pain I bear is mine And mine alone Now I know for what I am Is wrong again Why are we trying to live When all we know Is just how to die Why are we trying to live When all we know Is just how to die

Music by Stefanovic/Älvestam Lyrics by Stanne Into what goes on forever Beyond perspectives lost Caleidoscope vision Introspective display What hides in plain sight Force it into my head Now is the only time Hiding behind a lie All I know I cast the fire (chorus) Inside these hours All alone For I am in denial Though never again will I Direct my shields Against another But turn it on myself Come back To something I need Come back to misery Living the misdirection All I know The further off center My lies become Force it into my head Now is the only time Hiding behind a lie All I know I cast the fire (repeat chorus) No sight - unseen No light - in between Gravitational lensing What they see Is bent around my lies Around this black hole I have found myself again Brought out the answers For my seeing eyes only Travelling in circles I have found myself again No way to face it straight Inside the lonely Here in the night of nights Where nothing shines I brought the flame down On it all - unforgiving In time the flame will die The only hope I have to find To never deny, never regret The masquerade is over As long as I cast the fire (repeat chorus)

Forever dreaming Way down In the blindsighted night For I just try to avoid Giving out inside (inside) Only way out, now Through Night-kingdomed gates, go Whoever is the closest The end Of this journey within Can see the future and all That it holds for me Go, find what is veiled Behind The night-kingdomed gates Time and again I find myself forgiven By uncharted forces Out of reach And now I know that Everything Must end to start The healing To resume with hands No longer chained I am he debtor For all savings graces Of time The means Excused by the acts That we keep concealed Only way out, now Through Night-kingdomed gates, go I have never been here The outskirts Of sanity's halls As far as it will go And as long as it takes Go, find what is veiled Behind The night-kingdomed gates Time and again I find myself forgiven By uncharted forces Out of reach And now I know that Everything Must end to start The healing To resume with hands No longer chained I am the one That has to try and reason There are no boundaries And nothing to forgive Once through this gateway There is no reversion What now remains is that With which I cannot deal Time and again I find myself forgiven By uncharted forces Out of reach And now I know that Everything Must end to start The healing To resume with hands No longer chained Set ahead

We cannot sleep forever Nor can our dreams awake Mindless our souls are taken Another future forged From a dying past Darkness it feeds me In this eternal dream Just barely breathing Found inside Of the endless mizmaze Forever kept in A never dying shade Through failing daylight Saw the dying Of hope and faith Not again Get away I want to hear it What I know Cannot be seen alive I will never find a way To make you Take it back again What has been What will be Another turning Of the truth You will find On your own In time you will see Where you have been For aeons past Been for aeons past I am not needed But for a darkness past A vision bleeding Into worlds At the end of all time Forever secret A never spoken line In fevered slumber Aeons pass again and again Not again Get away I want to hear it What I know Cannot be seen alive I will never find a way To make you Take it back again What has been What will be Another turning Of the truth You will find On your own In time you will see Where you have been For aeons past Will time ever see me Knowing all along What I found in a dream Gone astray Will it be there waiting When I am alone And the aeons collide As we go down We cannot sleep forever Nor can our dreams awake Mindless our souls are taken Another future forged From a dying past Not again Get away I want to hear it What I know Cannot be seen alive I will never find a way To make you Take it back again What has been What will be Another turning Of the truth You will find On your own In time you will see Where you have been For aeons past Not again Get away I want to hear it What I know Cannot be seen alive I will never find a way To make you Take it back again What has been What will be Another turning Of the truth You will find On your own In time you will see Where you have been For aeons past Been for aeons past

As time goes by All eventurally Comes full circle Just turning end for end Where benightedness Tip the scales And once the fire Has been lit The mind's eye closes anew Through endless ages Ever lapsing into old ways A denied tomorrow Calling on yesterday Headway in reverse Only shadows reach The light of day Another sun Now sets within On the torn apart Not to be found Again therein Bleeding dry the heart Once more a dawn Now wearing thin Broken work of art A can of worm Incisive burns Of the dark Whatever comes now Nothing but a Reflection bygone Restored continuum And the tide is on the turn A denied tomorrow Calling on yesterday Headway in reverse Only shadows reach The light of day Another sun Now sets within On the torn apart Not to be found Again therein Bleeding dry the heart Once more a dawn Now wearing thin Broken work of art A can of worm Incisive burns Of the dark Ruins Laid in without cause Sourceless call For silence Self-supporting fear unaware abidance Firm like ropes of sand Past that go for nothing Come leathen tears Another sun Now sets within On the torn apart Not to be found Again therein Bleeding dry the heart Once more a dawn Now wearing thin Broken work of art A can of worm Incisive burns Of the dark Another sun Now sets within On the torn apart Not to be found Again therein Bleeding dry the heart Once more a dawn Now wearing thin Broken work of art A can of worm Incisive burns Of the dark

Never again to be the fool Now I know that all Is going away Wait and daylight is done We are terminal Will the time of my life Be one out of time So seal me off from time Our final night Within vaults That I have been dreaming of Forever where life is denied Never again am I to blame Barred from prying eyes And coming dismay Wait and my time is gone In back of the blades. Will the time of my life Be one out of time So seal me off from time Our final night Within vaults That I have been dreaming of Forever where life is denied I cannot even falter In the safety of What this shallow life Has forced me into I chose confinement Inside the bladed vaults The day will not come When our punishment is over I am taken part Torn asunder Will the time of my life Be one out of time So seal me off from time Our final night Within vaults That I have been dreaming of Forever where life is denied Will the time of my life Be one out of time So seal me off from time Our final night Within vaults That I have been dreaming of Forever where life is denied

Music by Stefanovic/Älvestam Lyrics by Stanne One night I found what was missing The thread that attaches Us all together Without us knowing Our nexus By this we stand parted We challenge What we do not know These mindless masses Will now take us For a journey Nowhere fast to the end Let nothing lasting remain Ripping the wires, From failing structures And build my self again One night I found what was missing The thread that attaches Us all together Without us knowing Our nexus (chorus) I have never been Alive like this The strings attached I will make my own I have never been Alive like this Behold my legacy I have built a wirethrone My wirethrone My wirethrone One too many times I have failed to answer To your questions why Here on my throne of scorn Concealed walls cannot hide I have torn out, All that supports me To never be whole again The more I am straining, The less I attain What has been built, All in vain The more I am gaining, The less I sustain Another wellspring to drain (repeat chorus) My wirethrone The more I am straining, The less I attain What has been built, All in vain The more I am gaining, The less I sustain Another wellspring to drain (repeat chorus x 2)

I am the one That hides in flame and fire Who takes you under And brings you in When the silence is all No day before night The burning plains Are my light and my home Striking down The unforturnate ones Black days forever Leaving behind Everything in sight Cannot take me What no man has seen Awaits me far down below On emered fields Embered fields adust Now I know what time is life Forevermore gone Is this the end? When the silence is all No day before night The burning plains Are my light and my home They say never again Decision is mine No longer hiding In darkness alone Force it to stand Unending down Black days forever Now upon me to Turn the tide What no man has seen Awaits me far down below On emered fields Embered fields adust Now I know what time is life Forevermore gone Is this the end? What no man has seen Awaits me far down below On emered fields Embered fields adust Now I know what time is life Forevermore gone Is this the end?

You have given desire a name These tremors I have felt Are the remnants of dying Whenever you are gone From our days I am alone All that we had will now end I know I am not to blame I know you do not feel the same Whatever I did Wont you please forgive me You brought down The heavens again Set stage for my pain Tragedy and disaster And suddenly gone on your way So alone All that we were is now lost I know I am not to blame I know you do not feel the same Whatever I did Wont you please forgive me Never again Cannot take the pain We were once Now we are nothing I am half alive Gone into shadow I know I am not to blame I know you do not feel the same Whatever I did Wont you please forgive me Why wont you please forgive me!

Walk away from the nightmare Total eclipse of the mind Eyes that have always been blind Replaced by a different kind What has been all around Gone through my time Forever dreaming in red Said the sane to the blind Stay far away Forever or bygone Why I cannot Forsee this end of me Now befallen my lost kind What I have found Is what defines me Push the past away Down here alone Not to return here I will be Holding on to something Turn away from all A life now concealed for me What has been all around Gone through my time Forever dreaming in red Said the sane to the blind Stay far away Forever or bygone What I have found Is what defines me Push the past away Down here alone Not to return here I will be Holding on to something Turn away from all A life now concealed for me Awake in the dark of my hiding Far from the world Where the lies cannot reach And the hours pretend Not let into what is mine Never share what I have found From the world I am gone Ways of the dark now trespass Coming to claim what is mine Eyes deceive believers Upset indifferent minds Misgive in our light of day Perceived in darkness All that I see now Pitch black Future obscure This has to be Am I now What is to come of misery I have yet to see how All our thoughts Are weakened by This dying world Selfchosen ending Come to pass on this last Day of reckoning Greet the end of reason Cannot face the strength Of the ones gone to faith To shield forever No more Will be of what we were And will we ever be coherent All for this only to remain Not faced with The ultimate standoff When I am waking up alone The wall Is still wrapped around me No one witnessing My own passing away Home is hell to me now Here is salvation Fall from the heights Of safety To the darkest of depths What I have found Is what defines me Push the past away Down here alone Not to return here I will be Holding on to something Turn away from all A life now concealed for me Mistreated by life again Deceived by darkness All that I see now Pitch black Fear is in me This cannot be No more Will be of what we were And will we ever be coherent All for this only to remain Not faced with The ultimate standoff Nothing more Will come from the union Of reasion and faith undying Lost now In the mazelike passageway of argument and false claims Rage now to the sound of Total resistance of life Eyes so blind forever Drawn from the innocent mind Leave it all behind So lost in time Forever and always Remember the way it was Seemed to last In fear of the now In fear of tomorrow And all that has yet to pass Out of our reach We are going nowhere Faster than ever And there is no way We will be last A level further down Deep below Begin on a journey alone The way I want to see It all end Something never to be shown Told through the dreaming Time and again In our dying Speaking now to the end We favoured the laws Of insanity's logic And braced the storm Of humble advice To the unfathomable depths Of secrecy We pray for Clandestinity now What has been all around Gone through my time Forever dreaming in red Said the sane to the blind Stay far away Forever or bygone What I have found Is what defines me Push the past away Down here alone Not to return here I will be Holding on to something Turn away from all A life now concealed for me What I have found Is what defines me Push the past away Down here alone Not to return here I will be Holding on to something Turn away from all A life now concealed for me

But if the tales are true The reversion of all we know (Has been) On the other side Call the ones now wanting in What if we set the scene (The scene) To break our thoughts and minds to pieces Confined to this forever Call from beyond - the other side Is now breaking through Spirit side dreams of life But of the stories told I ascend the insipid cold (I ascend) In effect, back to life Spirit side dreaming Controlling us What if we set the scene (The scene) To break our thoughts and minds to pieces Confined to this forever Call from beyond - the other side Is now breaking through Spirit side dreams of life All of us living and... The spirit side dreaming Opposite sides of the spectrum Called time and space Call from beyond - the other side Is now breaking through Spirit side dreams of life Call from beyond - the other side Is now breaking through Spirit side dreams of life
