Shining Fall
04:08
|
|||
Conscious yet gone
Mute in a stream of words, down within
The warmth here is cold like a lifeless vibrance
My pulse is silenced as polarized shades fill our mind
Leave the grace that your ego carved for your grave
Unleash the might of your latent Self
Feed this power, feel it from inside
Your past will never define what you can be
Their lies only reflected their own fears
You are worth far more than they want you to believe
Don't ever let them oppress your inner shimmer
Burn with me, arise and fall
Nowhere and lost with affliction
Pushing me through
Lights of your hopeless blaze
This place, where eyes have no vision
Relieves my soul of agony
Our heart like leaves blown in a heat storm
Echoes all alone by the mirror of drowned flames
As I leave it all behind
Embrace what was done
Fuse your past and tomorrow, now awake
Each path we walked led us to this moment
Let the tides of time
Drift us deep down far into the highest waves
Let all years of strife reignite your shape
Release your wings to reclaim your aim
Trust your emotions, fly once to dream again
Revive, shine and fall

Seamless Days
03:59
|
|||
Just waiting for a chance to find a way out
Through seamless days I stray
With only visions by my side
All words may seem vain
But sensations don't lie
This vibrance in my chest
Reveals to me where to dive
Some dreams feel more real
Than the world they call reality
Some beginnings feel like the end
Will the night stand still when I'm gone?
I may sense the wind on my face
I may touch the burst of all waves
Yet the voice from a deeper realm sings to me
Melodies from where to soar
Into the storm I lose my shape
For a greater state of mind
A bright rain fills my veins
Dull memories leave my heart
The presence of inner stillness
Leads me to shining highs
This burning life within heals me for a new tide
I'll fly wherever the light leads my will
I'll fly whatever the skies may unseal

Into the Unknown
03:40
|
|||
Hiding away from delusion
Into the motions of dreams
Reaching our fates to unbind
The echoes left alone
Synthesize all perceptions
Through horizons we ignite
Diffuse the code of conception
Shape your reality
Abiding emotions
As we define the reasons untold
That we used to hold
Foreshadowed visions once entwined
Leaving all fears aside
Dive with me into the unknown
Right on the edge of the fall
Above the burning fog
Memories of you breach my wall
Into the night we dissolve
And yet overcome
Our passion revealed
Still will pulse through our core
Foreseeing light and oblivion
Denying this past that haunts us
Follow the path of devotion
In a hollow instant we let go
Spherical illusions drain us
Particles collide consuming energy
Far away for a new ascension
Forever soaring in the flow
|
||||
5. |
||||
Straying once more into my solitary fields
Mute yet safer
From all inane words this world has to breathe
Away from the ambient cries
I long for a lasting stillness of mind
Free from the weight of tomorrow
I just want to remove myself from the crowds
We're like drops of praised emptiness
Acting like we truly belong to the same rain
No more bound to pretend
I now throw all these chains
When our silhouettes end blurred
Into silence we will dwell
No more bound to behave
I now dream once again
When the distance paints us
Just like waves we will dive over and over
Shapeless lines portray
The scenery I once craved
Eyes and lies, walls of faceless figures
Strangers to one another
Pride may follow
But behind the veil
Your heart just feels so hollow
Shapeless lines portray
The scenery I once craved
But who is to blame
When this inner void leads my trails

Earthbound
04:41
|
|||
Rain fell to the ground
When the morning mist awakened
Cold winds danced with the night
When all words were lost in slumber
Gracefully nature carved its precious reborn reality
Restfully and blurred I merge with its pure desires
I'm now one with Earth
As the essence of life
Embraces all my senses
Motionless tides
Bring my soul to white horizons
I now see with my heart
Stronger in the clear skylines
Through ash clouds and silence
Pierce lush words of solace
Earthbound, I revive
Away from decline
Devoid of my shape
As I breach through the veil for another world
Away deep inside
Beyond my own Self
I dream once more on the edge of splendor
From the highest mountain
Or the abyss of its darkest ocean
Now I can reach the expanse of light
For now I stream as one with a weightless might
|

Half Alive
04:15
|
|||
What could be left of a day
When waking up from a lifelike dream
Where emotions felt deeper
Than realities crafted like a lie
Oceans away in the cold winds
Enthrall my senses by their seductive mist
This light that pulses like radiant seeds
Exposed my veil to what life really means
Spellbound by a dense yet empty realm
I let the stars reflect our frozen past with the end
Half alive forever consumed within
Can you hear the distance in our heart
Let it burn the echoes of fears we once had
Half alive like a winter falling within
When you feel this rage rising in our eyes
Let it burst us into new visions to bind
Now I can see the way
The night sky seems to fill its drops in my veins
This tide we need to share
Leads the vastness from which we'll meet again
Once more, breathe with me to reverse time
For one last impulse, let our stillness be revived
Let us now dream as one

One With Dawn
03:14
|
|||
Feel the mist inside encloud our souls
Dream across the tides of our own withered ocean
For one more last time
I'll stare at the sunrise haze
Bleeding out all life left
As I leave my fears to be gone
One with dawn I wither away
And with my last breath
I'll exhale all memories held
Right beyond horizons blaze
As the winds of fate blow me out
One with dawn I shimmer for a new day
Still can't see the light pulse above
Still our lost emotions streaming through our fall
Whenever you'll lose yourself
With nowhere to stand
Remember your winter will end
Within silence, passion prevailed
One with dawn, we had to part ways
For each of your shed tears
For all joy on your face
Those moments we had will just remain
Like the echoes after a storm
One with dawn, I had to stray in flames
Burn my chains
Heal me today
Be my wings
Show me how to evade the grey
Burn my chains
Heal me today
Be my wings
Reveal to me how to thrive again
One with dawn I follow the rain
One with dawn we will be the same

Hyperstate
03:33
|
|||
Pursuing the fate
To the bitter end
Locking the sight
No second guess
Adrenaline rising
Senses alert
Suppressive shots releasing
The premises of its realities
As the second sun
Paints the scenery
Of what’s to come
Forlorn, dark skies
Reaching
To induce the night
The lifeform ignites
Hope’s chaotic ways
Withering inside
Falling apart
All along we’re just the same
In unbinded horizons
All along we’re just the same
These immortal eyes
Have more to say
Perceiving our downfall
To seek what we used to long for
Emulates outer forms
Turning to breed
We intertwine
To feel alive
I can see their black skies falling aside
We see time appeasing from inside
Revealing the truth that tears us apart
|

Serenity
04:23
|
|||
Dismantling the joy
That we once complied for
Breaching the edge
In the eyes of torment
Reaching the skies
To believe in a purpose
Seeking relief for a clear way out
Withstand all emotions
Riding the clouded thoughts
Of unwilling perceptions
Facing the inner void
Foretelling the scene to seek the truth
Imploding senses, for all memories fallen
Wanting to end it all
Serenity
Can’t you see
Can’t you see I’m falling inside
For what’s left to breathe, for what’s left to feel
Serenity
Searching for a way out
Forlonging to shatter life’s agony
To pray for better days
To believe in better days
Gone is the sun as all hope in your eyes
From which the dreams keep flowing down
Facing the tide of hidden streams
Facing time to catch the wave
Alone in light holes
No more adrift like a leaf in the ocean
Alone in light holes
Behind the mist dawn leaves me reborn
|

Severance
04:03
|
|||
Colorless and frail
My spirit holds inside those visions of rain
Eyes ready to defy
No pain will reach me
For my volition outshines
Distrust and regret
Where past and future entwine
Forlorn in a seamless grey
No dream where to sink or hide
I'm done facing howling scars
I'm done letting hope still tainted black
All around me lightrays are flowing
From now on my chains are no more
In the air the pulse is rising
From above all my fears are gone
The curse of a curtained life
Like a muted scream of thunder
Perpetual waves to abide
I no longer feel this severance
Now the time has come for my wings to open
The skies are mine to retrieve the answer
All the years once lost in a restless slumber
The winds are sharp yet my will beats stronger
Where to fill this void with innocence
How to grasp the meaning of inner silence
When will the whispers cease to torment
I'm no longer transfused by the moment

Echoing Motions
04:59
|
|||
Feel these dreams of loss
These bonds that break apart
Envision an aimless path
We strayed too far away
Catching the light
To redefine the desire of mourning fires
Conscience reborn, follow the seamless night
Striving inside of me
Now I see that we fall
To recall the fate
We tell the sun to dissolve
In a pathway to the stars
Storms of igniting trails
Inciting the veil of our memories' call
To redeem the past of solemn days
Through your echoing motions
Almost found a way
Through your echoing motions
Almost found a way
Too far, too far away
Feel these dreams of loss
These bonds torn from the start
One with the senses forever gone
Forever gone too far away
Walking aside the final descent
To redefine the desire of morning fires
Conscience reborn, follow the seamless night
Striving inside of me
Now I see that we fall to recall the fate
