A New Dawn
06:30

I feel a new day dawning
A shining beacon lights the sky
Somewhere a fire is burning
It holds the truth beyond the lie
Side by side
We walk through the shadows of the night
We decide
How we live and we die
Tortured screams wake silent ground
In this world of fear and confusion
Reality comes crashing down
Breaking our illusions
Where do we go now from here?
Only time will tell
What is waiting for us
What lies ahead
Torn apart by rage and pain
The hordes are now growing restless
Afraid to think of what remains
We march on through nights of madness
And all we've left behind
Immortal in our minds
Keeps us alive
Side by side
We walk through the shadows of the night
By our deeds
We live and we die
Now as we rest our weary minds
We hope to see the dawn of a new life
And as we wake our sleeping eyes
We live to see another red sunrise
Rise
Untold years we've sacrificed
Chasing the light
For answers far beyond this world
That we'll never find
Precious is this life
Even heroes die

A transformation has begun
Something stirring in the dark
In the twilight of the storm
There's a calling from deep within the heart
Lost souls are crying out
All praying for a saviour
Their world is falling down
In fragments of a failing future
Rebirth is rising now
They'll soon be free of torment
The fires are dying out
The screams no longer silent
We are taking back what's ours tonight
Fate is waiting on the other side
As we move through the sands of time
We watch the world
A reclaimed land we leave behind
Until the day that we return
Now your darkest day has come
As every second starts to bleed away inside
Nowhere left for you to run
You're running out of time and places you can hide
We are taking back what's ours tonight
Fate is waiting on the other side
We ride by the morning sunlight
No fear under bleeding skies
Through rain and rolling thunder
We dare to roll the dice
We've lived a thousand lifetimes
Seen empires rise and fall
No longer will we stand aside
We're tearing down the walls
We ride by the morning sun
Our truth won't be undone
Waiting for our time to come
We're the chosen ones
As we move through the sands of time
We watch the world
A reclaimed land we leave behind
Until the day that we return

Elegy
07:39
|

Brother, they stole your life so savagely
We troll this dirge this sorry year
So all can hear your elegy
These doleful winds will carry thee
To our home 'cross raucous seas
Oceans of madness, arrant misery
We had a vision they'd dare not foresee
Mine was the honour, yours was the dream
Ours was the like this world hadn't seen
Once, when our lives were one
We banished the demons, broken and bleeding
Never again to inculcate
Then, when our time was undone
All kin and comrade, at once sad and lonely
Bowed to your life's victories
Wracked by the sleight of terror's hand
Slain by those who would withstand
The right of all to live and breathe
Our belief that we are free
We believe that we are free
Haunting, beautiful tragedy
I see before me the deeds of our foregoers
Draped in graceful majesty
Wracked by the sleight of terror's hand
Enslaved by those who would withstand
The right of all to live and breathe
Our belief that we are free
We believe that we are free
The morning light comes slowly
Tripping over the ground
Wilful deeds shall bury them, never to be found
All I see are blind men, all I hear are lies
First I will avenge you, then we will arise
The morning light comes slowly
Tripping over the ground
Wilful deeds shall bury them, never to be found
My eyes have seen with wistful gaze
The splendour of your tale
Few who have will truly know
The depth of passion's gain
Hold the light of fallen kin deep within your being
Light the path for those to come
With your noble deeds
All I see are blind men, all I hear are lies
First I will avenge you, then we will arise

The Journeyman

The story begins
In the midst of fire and rain
The only life that still remains
Is a lone heart beating
For all that he's done
There is one thing he can't change
He cannot escape the fate
That's been written for him
The fear inside
Shows in his eyes
As worlds collide
Coming from the skies
Bursting through clouds
Tearing the ground apart
Judgement now arrives
Taking life away
As night drowns out the day
So my time has come
And a life just slips away
All that I have ever loved
Has been taken from me
For all that I've done
I cannot escape my fate
But no longer afraid
I accept the choices that I've made
Come take my light
Bring forth the night
Set me free
I lay down my life
If this is really all there is, take me away
I'm ready now to die
Nothing left to leave behind, no more to say
Set me free...
Walk with me
Into the embrace of eternity
Let the darkness wash over you
Life runs out
So I lay down my life
If this is really all there is, take me away
I'm ready now to die
Nothing left to leave behind, no more to say
Come with me, you will see
A world you've never known
On the other side, you will find
A chance for you to live forever
Come with me, you will see
You'll never be alone
Somewhere far beyond, where you belong
You can truly live forever
I lay down my life
(Come with me, you will see)
I'm ready now to die
(A chance for you to live forever)
I lay down my life
(On the other side, you will find)
I'm ready now to die
(You can truly live forever)
Bring me home
On the other side, you will find
You can truly live forever

Rivers of Cepha

Across a sea of sorrow
You will ride
Breathing madness
With death by your side
I am your fear
Every time you close your eyes
Awakening
All the screaming voices in your mind
Revealing
This world's demons
Every nightmare you have had becomes flesh
Into a realm of torment
Forged in flames
Pain and anguish
Will be your domain
It's time to see
What will be your destiny
Further you'll fall
Sinking deep into oblivion
Forgotten
Forever
Sucked into the fiery underworld
With no return
Follow me
I can show you how to live
In another world
Where all your burdens wash away
Trust in me
If you want to truly feel
Euphoria
As rapture comes to kill the pain
If you try to hide
I will be waiting here
And when you close your eyes
That's when I will appear
Inside the darkness
Inside the light
I'm in everything you see
Controlling all you feel
This is your redemption
A chance to live again
Just reach out for the light
Follow me
I will show you how to live

Words From Beyond...
06:55

No more lying
To yourself or be bound as a slave
Die crying
As you hear my words from beyond the grave
Twisting and turning
The thoughts in your mind
Hoping for something to bring you a sign
All of your waiting
Never an end
Now you can see why you can't pretend
Breaking the silence
That you have kept
All of this time
Now there's nothing left
Nothing more, there's nothing left
As I fall down
Never more, will you be at rest
And in a different life
Would it still be the same?
As hard as you might try
You can't wash away the human stain
No more lying
To yourself or be bound as a slave
Die crying
As you hear my words from beyond the grave
Now you're reliving
All that you've done
Nowhere to hide so you try to run
All your misgivings
And all your misdeeds
Come back to haunt you in your time of need
Waiting for darkness
To cover again
Too scared to see
The horror at the end
Nothing more, there's nothing left
As I fall down
Never more will you be at rest
But in another time
Maybe you can start again
As hard as you might try
You can't wash away the human stain
Words crawling
Through the cracks
And into your soul
No more lying
To yourself or be bound as a slave
Eternal life
Forever haunted
By my words from beyond the grave

The Void
06:24
|
|||
|
Dead weight on my shoulders
This crucifix of shattered dreams
I don't know how I got here
And I don't know how to leave
I reminisce on fantasies
My life ban been a dream to me
I wander this world aimlessly
For chances to appear to me
Waiting in the trees, my maker
Desires me to leave here and to come on home
The sounding of the trumpets at the gates
Herald my arrival as I'm welcomed home
Time stands still, bringing forth
Total destruction
A blackened sky, reigning fire
Down from the heavens
When the darkness starts to fall
And all light is dying
When the dead come to call
Will you still be standing here?
Your world in bleak distress
Your sins you must confess
A thousand souls disappear
Into the abyss
When the darkness starts to fall
And all light is dying
When the dead come to call
Will you still be standing here?
Your eyes deceive your mind
The lies infect your life
Suffocating
Now you're trapped
Inside the prison of your mind
When the darkness starts to fall
And all light is dying
When the dead come to call
Will you still be standing here
I can see it in your eyes
The fear that's killing you
Forever lost in time
The void will consume you
Your world in bleak distress
Your sins never confessed

Nevermore
09:02
|
|||
|
Standing at the edge of time
Waiting for the world to end
Hoping for a sign
Lost without a friend
And you're still waiting
Now dust around your feet
Is all you have left
A kingdom you once held
Is now laid to rest
And you're left bleeding
Time won't wait
It marches on without you
Your twisted fate
Doesn't care about you
A moment of bliss
Turns to defeat
A vicious circle you're doomed to repeat
The reality you know to be true
All that you love is dying around you
Your toughest test
Is yet to come
Are you strong enough to face it?
When the shadow of death reaches out
Will you fight or will you embrace it?
Time to escape
None left to lose
No saving grace, no light in the black
The reality you know to be true
The world that you love is never coming back
Just stay alive
No reason to die
Just stay alive
No reason to die
Don't waste your one and only chance
To break the circle
Nevermore, Nevermore
Nevermore, Nevermore
Nevermore, Nevermore
Nevermore, return to Nevermore
Mine is the will of the weary
I've lived and I've lost on my own
All reason is rent from my senses
Let me go on, let me go on
Let me go home
By the winter's sun
I lost my way and I am weary
I've lost my home, I've lost my kin
I've lost my freedom
Tortured are the faces and the memories that I see
Lay me down and throw this cold grey earth on me
Nevermore, nevermore...

What an album! The only reason the album didn't elevate them straight to stardom is not enough people heard it. Modern classic - from start to finish.
