The Inheritance

To be ruled within family, living a life of wealth. These 20 years behind him to never feel the need again. How can he live without her strength, she was taken away. His dreams that appear now for her, drown the harder he prays. All too young! He was told of a walking angel, each would see in the end. He could feel their pain was calling when the fallen ascend. Enough to feel a fist of diamonds, enough to feel disgrace. This doesn’t heal the fall, forsaken but he steals the untimely death. To be fooled by the new wealth, to find joy in their death. And he awoke the feelings to never cheat life again How can he live without her strength, she was taken away. His dreams that appear now for her, drown the harder he prays. In the darkest sun, they come at night, they ride unholy wind. A demon child with tears of pain, the mother of the soul. Lightning strikes, the pouring rain come crashing down alone. This travesty, the darkness came, this world, he runs away. The darkness is crying his name, and he cannot be reborn. The whirlwind is breaking the silence, and he will never fall. He waited for a life to be the one, hiding his dreams all alone. He'll never be free to watch the sun! They’re drifting far apart to tell a tale, hiding his pride from falling down. Crying alone, he is denied... Scourge! He'll never feel the guilty, estrange is for his time. He cannot hide, he cannot fear the crickets of the night. To pull together a lawyer's crime like a fearing sigh. To inherit the North, the old estate is his! Walk the angel of fallen worlds forever asking why. The fatal maiden’s scowl is safe, the answer is not here. Mother, father, sister and brother, gone before their time. Through damnation of all that's sacred, fear the world, the war, the sign. How can he live without her strength, she was taken away. His dreams that appear now for her, drown the harder he prays. Rise, love the dream, not the dirty wretched wake. Die, sign of evil, words are true and dry. Life, drowning lethal, often feel the fear. Rape, son of filth, he arrives, fear now!

Evening will torment him, enslave his soul The lonely will never rise, to save the sound And he will never be alone, never be alone... Cold winds cross the garden rose, she arrives, she needs to stay Just to see the calm of her face, he doesn't want to be here alone Familiar beauty all in time, just to see it all again He's waited forever now, guiding himself Deep in the comfort of his sleep No distance between them now Together they lie, inviting the healing to begin The visionary's call to pass, she was to save his world tonight For here he prays with his open eyes, and she's nowhere in his sight Her scent remains on his clothes, was it a dream or was it real? Headed for the great escape, no rest until love is found Astrid falls Searching relentlessly, to bring her home He asks the old man, his words tear him away "Save all the tears that you're crying" "Leave this alone" "Reap, you should have never dismissed my drive I will own your soul, keeping the darkness for myself Life, you are my prisoner old man, you will tell me what I need Or I will remove your breath this day" Cold winds cross the garden rose, she arrives, she needs to stay Just to see the calm of her face, he doesn't want to be here alone Familiar beauty all in time, just to see it all again Like a lair in a crowded house, four walls to hide the screams Fly to hell, burn him down Not a care for your begging eyes, even when sedation calls For your words and lies Like a deer in a foreign cove Nowhere to hide, nowhere to go Broken down, abandon life Now he rushes to the church to see the priest He remembers the night she came, even more than the wasted life He doesn't want to lose more time, never wants to be alone He wants to be there for her Until he dies He doesn't want be without her Hear his call Not to waste more breath this time Another time He can never betray her love Astrid falls

Dark is the day, where his thoughts betray, weighing on his mind, and it steals his soul To place his trust, with memory's love, waiting to align, who will heal his soul? Waiting and see, for a grand return, he remains alone Drifting away in the twilight sky, the novelty will fade away [Erik:] "I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end, who was really my friend And what the meaning of life is about" "I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end, who was really my friend And what the meaning of life is about" He can't feel for his heart is yearning, all is lost today, you can hear him cry Sorrowed sighs through the rolling darkness, waiting for the time, to believe in her Dreamer's day, when he longs to say, and take it all in stride Sitting alone in his prisoned mind, the jaded takes its toll again [Erik:] "I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end, who was really my friend And what the meaning of life is about" "I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end, who was really my friend And what the meaning of life is about" Blood on the lips of his mother Dead for a day She warned him that this day would come Dead for a day Feeling he doesn't know who to trust Dead for a day Sin for his heart is the color red Dead for a day Time for the fainter, just to hear pathetic cadence of cries Pray to your savior, and you'll fear the crippled godsend of lies [Erik:] "Why can't you save me, can you feel it in my soul? Why can't you save me, can you see it in my soul?" "I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end, who was really my friend And what the meaning of life is about" "I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end, who was really my friend And what the meaning of life is about" To be dead just for one day To be dead, dead for a day! To be dead just for one day He wishes he could be dead! To be dead just for one day Dead, dead for a day! To be dead just for one day To be dead for a day Dead for a day

Dying for the sun Dying for the sun Dying for the sun Dying, dying for the sun Why should he trust her, she's losing control Why should he hear her, because her lies enrage him more He can feel the fire, burning inside his soul Where will her faith reside, 'cause he will never let her go There's no escape, you'll fear it now This reward to save her soul, to see him die He tells the world, and darkness comes He will never find her now, in his demise Dying for the sun, he's dying, for the one He's dying, for the sun Dying, dying, for the sun Dying Can he heal the lucky one, the one who treads the garden path Desperation within the means, walk along the fallen leaves Rise Come to see the dying light, the burning white, to say goodnight Captured now, the shift in tide, the two are his who vomit pride He does not know what set him free, the stagnation of the dark Burning 'neath the beast of dying, strangle the night with nested wire There's no escape, he'll fear it now You cannot strip away his soul, he's soon to die You tear him down, and darkness comes The priest now sides with his disgrace, beyond this life

Look away, the morning comes, he will speak before the tortured son, infamy Look away as the demons call, now hear the vow of a desperate man He couldn't live with his broken heart in a dream, harder to waken on the hour's toll Searching the sleep of the fallen brave, headed to daylight, those who prey on him Now the whispers prey on him She is the woman, confessions from the priest Just to waken the lifelong years of dark decay He can hear she's decided not to sleep He should thank and accept her feeble words to be Mindful hour won't pass him by, he believes it's just a game they play Hiding it all, concealing her, burning the way back to the lonely road Please be the one who knows He cannot hear the words that she's screaming, he cannot change the world tonight And he fears not what he's heard in their old dreams, he knows he cannot save the world! How can he leave this open for the burning fire? He can see her face How in the world can he follow her naked truth? He can taste the dire How can we count the stars of the fallen day? He can hear her voice The connection to the garden is her soul He can feel her pain! If she leaves him now, the aching part of his life If he could hold her again he would never be wrong, to the end of days If she believes him now, the sun will return in time And he will drag her out, out of hell, to his world, in every way He couldn't live with his broken heart in a dream, harder to waken on the hour's toll Searching the sleep of the fallen brave, headed to daylight, those who prey on him When the beautiful is his He cannot hear the words that she's screaming, he cannot change the world tonight And he fears not what he's heard in their old dreams, to the calling of blood and dreams To the calling of blood and dreams

He can feel the angels, turn away from him By the lord of darkness calling, she'll never let him see If ever he arrives, he could still believe And no one here will tell, and he will never die here The sounds of the night, clawing at his heart Telling him to run, never gonna leave here Calculate the numbers, struggle through the night Try to prove the ancient folk tale, she'll never let him see He's telling her to try, never to believe And no one else but him, never gonna cry here A demon of the night, she'll never see the right He doesn't wanna go [Erik:] "I don't wanna die here, for you" Free him from her Long yields pass into the light Don't run from me Like a future on the brink tonight Eight years from now All the living has to pay the price Surround with fear, your death day These hands are disfigured, fingers branch like dead trees He believes she's a demon, he believes in the witch He can see in the darkness, her eyes staring him down Peering in through windows, stalking, from the ides of time Forever to believe, never he'll deceive And he won't even try, never gonna die here Even when she's gone, he will never know No one will ever tell, never gonna lie here, for her

He's traveling all alone, hearing her cry, his name, in the darkness of the night He wanders aimlessly for her embrace, tonight, he can feel her guide him home Rise, crawling from validity, swallow pride and beg to die Shame, falling from the entity, no sun, no light, to take you there Somewhere we will fall, somewhere we will fall, the nightmare comes alive Somewhere down the line they'll meet again His love, she could never reap the fire He's waiting here for her, forevermore and then he will wait another year The look of deceit on her face tells it all, related to the witch of the lore Incestuous tale of a priest and his kin, a sister giving birth to twins He must depart to his home Never to return He will find your answers there Travel with concern An eulogy of caution with a passion for the dead, that will fall into the pool of the bled Sanctuary's calling for the beasts of fallen children and they perish in the arms of the dead In the arms of the dead Rise, crawling from validity, swallow pride and beg to die Shame, falling from the entity, no sun, no light, to take... You there Somewhere they will fall, somewhere they will fall, the nightmares come alive Somewhere they will fall, somewhere they will fall, the nightmares come alive

Consumed with desire, approaching the home that made him believe Everything's silent, the darkness will never deceive He can be alone in his home, he can hide from the world there He's staying away from them all, doesn't want to be known there The open door reveals this hell Inside the horrors of the night All the people from the village strewn A hundred faces that died screaming He's falling to pieces, he falls to the ground, and he prays it's a dream He's dying in silence, he's dying to see her again From the cellar he hears a scream, he can't believe what he finds there There she stands before him again [Erik:] "Please don't leave me alone here" Now is the time to hear the tale Finding the truth between the lies Now is the time to face this truth, face this truth He looks upon her with dead eyes, dead eyes He's falling to pieces, he falls to the ground, and he prays it's a dream He's dying in silence, he's dying to see her again [Astrid:] "I was taken far away, in the night, from mother's arms, my father tried Buried deep, shameful lie, for the evil brought to life, village woman, hide my name Born like me, was a brother, a different path for the wake A better life, with higher value, brings the savior of shame A family of wealth comes calling, adopting the boy as their own Left only with a promise, you must never return" It's all so clear, he realizes, as he stands before his twin, with memories of what they've done Born of incestuous wedlock, she's the child of the curse, given to him, the heart of gold For the priest filled with fire, draws a stone with delight Driving force to deliver, his end to arrive in time He's drowning in fire, he falls to the ground, and he prays it's a dream Waiting forever, the darkness is welcoming him They're falling to pieces, he's losing the only thing that he's ever loved He's dying to hold her [Astrid:] "You're welcome to die in my arms" [Erik:] "Oh, I'm falling to pieces Falling to pieces Dying alone, fading forever Fading forever Oh, I will be waiting Don't wait for me" [Astrid:] "You will live on through our unborn child"

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Throughout the soft and timeless days of August Till now the shadows begin to grow much longer The sunset's fire has deepened blood red I give you this, the last rose of summer A token of my unyielding love So when the winter's mantle stills the earth And all around seems dead and cold This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm and living Do not despair, Mother Nature simply rests In sleep she has well earned Till one day, not so very far from now With the opening of the first rose bud, I shall return A token of my unyielding love So that the winter's mettle steals the earth And all around seems dead and cold This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm and living The last rose of summer The last rose of summer The last rose of summer The last rose of summer The last rose of summer The last rose of summer In your long shadows The last rose of summer In the sunset The last rose of summer Take this rose that I give you The last rose of summer The last rose of summer Don't worry about the winter The last rose of summer I shall return The last rose of summer The last rose of summer...

Run, why should I run away? When at the end the only truth certain one day Everyone dies, if only to justify life Life, I've lived a thousand lives And anyone is the right, the just life If I could cry, I'd cry for everyone Doubts, no doubt is all I know There is no fate, there's no luck, what does that show? Showing is proof, but proving is nothing but fear If I could cry, I'd cry then for everyone Shame, I've hoped two thousand years But no one knows, so I've cried, crying vain tears Always too late, too late to cry, cry for everyone
