Old times, old minds
The silent water invites me
In the night, I discover
A figure near the quay
I ran away
A sailing boat
Descending from the sky
Beyond the grave
Hides a wonder to unveil
I ran away
I ran, I ran
The ancient ghosts I used to see
Have ceased to show themselves
My burning scars have gone away
And faded in the light
A glowing land of fantasy
Reveals its open gate
And as the shore disappears
The future waits for me

Mouth Of The Sky
05:57
|

All I see is my own reflection
In the looking glass, there’s nothing around
Searching for directions in the fog
Hiding all the treasures, yet to be unveiled
Deceived by illusions, my dreams have
Faded in the void like aberrations
Thousands of exits lie before me
Which one can I take, as I am
Caught in the maze of my mind
At the crossroads of our lives
I only want to survive
Long is the way to follow in our quest to roam free
Out of the dark shines a light
Spreading a glare from the mouth
Illuminate my soul
Whisper my fate, as I’m
Caught in the maze of my mind
At the crossroads of our lives
I only want to survive
Long is the way to follow in our quest to roam...
Caught in the maze of my mind
At the crossroads of our lives
I only want to survive
Long is the way to follow in our quest to roam free
In the desert you are here
Heaven keeps a place for me
In the desert you are here
Heaven keeps a place for me

The Remedial Sentence
06:46
|

Affliction, destruction
Gnawing, aching, wicked violence
Temptation, rebellion
Burning vengeance spreads in my veins
I can’t read into his eyes
A culprit or a prey ?
I carry the weight of the ruling
Driving me insane
Someone’s voice is coming from the sky
Guiding and warning
Someone’s calling from the other side
« To crown the grandeur of a man
Forgiving is unmissable »
I hear all these words
(May your heart be open)
Hard is the acceptance
(Find the answer)
Within myself
My brother, a slayer
I don’t know anymore
Please lend me (the truth)
Your vision (will lead)
To understand (us there)
I can’t read into his eyes
A culprit or a prey ?
I carry the weight of the ruling
Driving me insane
Someone’s voice is coming from the sky
Guiding and warning
Someone’s calling from the other side
« To crown the grandeur of a man
Forgiving is unmissable »

Autumn Colossus

Dancing crowds abound
A painting filled with joy
Watchers shouting out
Spreading love around
Rising to the stars
The skies open their arms
Hiding all my flaws
A statue made of clay
Innocent dying soul
Injured by these ghouls
Time will heal us all
Until we face the dawn
End the circle
Ease the sorrow
Free the evil
All alone
Tomorrow's a new day
To heal and forgive

I lie
I lie here
I lie (your eyes can see what you want, see what you want)
I lie here (I lie here)
Sucked up from the silence
Blurry sight comes clear
The vigour in my body
Makes me want to stand
I’m alive
I’m alive here
I’m alive (your eyes can see what you want, see what you want)
I’m alive here (I'm alive here)
Paralysing passivity
Devastating the inner will
Gone, laid to rest
Deep down the spiral lies a wounded creature
(Caught inside a)
Gigantic labyrinth gulping its victims
(Their flesh and their bones)
Imprisoned maggots doomed to wander in apathy
Facing the mirror of their own inadequacy
Meanwhile the demons keep haunting their slumber
Alarmed, I watch them from afar
Wisdom has come to bring a glow
I once also waded through the mire
Drowsing again, under the warmth of the sun
Before the guides came to
Propagate the revelation
The sky will open
For a new moon
Paralysing passivity
Devastating the inner will
Gone, gone
Laid to rest
Oh rain,
Wash these lonely minds
To free their soul
Untie their bonds
And let them go
The time has come
Breathe in the light
Reach for the dream
Follow the line
Conceived for me

A Liar's Oath
05:16
|

Dead, forgotten, a hazy memory
Secret soul self-buried right behind a specious smile
A silly clone, hiding his nature for approval
Lost in torment, I dreamt that day would come
And I could tell you that I fought my fate
I made amends
And I could show you that I affirmed my will
In vain
And I will never abuse your trust again
My words are clear
And I will lead you until your heart reveals
Its gleam
To find yourself I can free your mind
Remorse hurting
Weakness evaporates
Honour my oath
I stopped the rival that I once invented
And I could tell you that I fought my fate
I made amends
And I could show you that I affirmed my will
In vain
And I will never abuse your trust again
My words are clear
And I will lead you until your heart reveals
Its gleam
To find yourself I can free your mind
Erased the barriers and the walls I ran into before
I defeated my inner foe
Despite my labour, vile opponents tried to ruin my vow
Yet I gave my love to you all
And I could tell you that I fought my fate
I made amends
And I could show you that I affirmed my will
In vain
And I could tell you that I fought my fate
I made amends
And I could show you that I affirmed my will
In vain
And I will never abuse your trust again
My words are clear
And I will lead you until your heart reveals
Its gleam
To find yourself I can free your mind

Exit Initia

I – Excipit Omen
I see strangers near the door
Their eyes can not hide their pain
A breeze (a breeze) from the universe
My heart is weary now
I hear the call behind the wall
I’ll find my way home
Fall into the light
A gleaming land of magic
I rise above the clouds
Let them feed my visions
And guide me through the night
Left aside my sorrow
I’ll keep you by my side
Far beyond the grave where I belong
Abandon my own kin
A haunting fear to leave them all
From the bud to the height
A new role for me to play
Afar appears the tunnel
They told me about
I hear the call behind the wall
I’ll find my way home
Fall into the light
A gleaming land of magic
I rise above the clouds
Let them feed my visions
And guide me through the night
Left aside my sorrow
I’ll keep you by my side
Far beyond the grave where I belong
II – Guidance
Fade the echoes of sombre years
Buried the guilt I wouldn't see
I once was the captive of my own game
Making the tears of the damned souls run
Steeped in fiction, the embryo grew
Until the evil mark slowly declined
The waning confusion has led up to bloom
Now I feel you I’ll lead you
I abought my sins
For my eternal glory
Follow my steps
Along this inner journey
Mouth of the sky
Oh shine a light around me
Eyes open wide
Find peace and serenity
I abought my sins
For my eternal glory
Follow my steps
Along this inner journey
III – Horus’ Crown
Fall into the light
A gleaming land of magic
I rise above the clouds
Let them feed my visions
Guide me through the night
Left aside my sorrow
I’ll keep you by my side
Far beyond the grave where I be…
Far beyond the grave where I be…
Far beyond the grave where I belong
IV – Apogee Of A King
Into the land of escape
I'm rising to relieve the pain
And by the lake of my sleep
Appears a figure, on the shore
I'm dreaming
The moon is revealing it is me
I'm dreaming
It's coming to take me away
I'm dreaming
The boat is ascending, it's ending
This world of misery
Fades from my memory
This life of purity
Will last an eternity
Drowned in the mire of my mind
(You were caught in a maze)
I found my way
(The only exit lies in here)
I owe my daughters and my sons
Cause the circle (will) always turn
Turn, forever and ever
